A manufacturing partner for teams turning IP into physical products
ITTAK focuses the first conversation on product fit, available inputs, manufacturing scope and the questions that need engineering review.
Model kit product teams
For teams planning commercially manufactured, injection-molded kits and coordinating product, engineering, sourcing and launch requirements.
Licensing and brand teams
For IP, anime, game and character brands evaluating how a product concept can move into an agreed manufacturing program.
Established product companies
For toy and collectible businesses that need a clearly scoped partner across tooling, molding and downstream production.
Manufacturing scope
From product input to packaged goods
Services are combined around the actual project—not sold as a generic one-size-fits-all package.
01 / PROCESS
Product engineering
Review available product data, assembly intent and manufacturing questions before tooling decisions are made.
02 / PROCESS
Tooling & mold making
Develop molds for an agreed production program or standalone delivery. Confirm trial approvals, receiving-factory requirements and handover scope before work begins.
03 / PROCESS
Injection molding
Produce HIPS, ABS and PVC components in-house, with material and appearance requirements confirmed for each project.
Spray painting
Tampo Print04 / PROCESS
Spray Painting & Tampo Print
Coordinate spray painting, Tampo Print and appearance controls where the product specification requires them.
Assembly line05 / PROCESS
Assembly & packaging
Coordinate component assembly and define the packaging requirements included in the reviewed project scope.
How projects move forward
From a product brief to production—or mold handover
A clear review path connects the available product information with engineering decisions, customer approvals and the final production scope.
Manufacturing review
Share the product concept, target market, expected quantity range, schedule and available files.
Engineering alignment
Clarify parts, materials, assembly, appearance, packaging and the manufacturing scope ITTAK should support.
Tooling & trials
Define the tooling approach and how trial output, feedback, revisions and approvals will be handled.
Production or mold handover
For product orders, confirm production and pack-out. For standalone tooling, complete the agreed trial approval and mold handover to the receiving factory.
Project galleries
Selected KAIYODO / ARTPLA projects
Authorized model-kit galleries show finished models, runners, components and tooling. They do not represent our polystone, resin or vinyl work; other customer projects are not published without permission.

Define product risks early
Fit, visible surfaces, gate and runner implications, shrinkage and warpage risk, color, finish, assembly and packaging criteria differ by product.
- Review drawings, appearance criteria and required reference samples
- Clarify the target sales market and applicable testing or documentation needs
- Agree how trial feedback, revisions and approvals will be managed
- Define inspection checkpoints from trial parts through packaged goods

Buyer FAQ
Questions to answer before a useful quote
What types of products does ITTAK manufacture?
Our scope includes plastic assembly model kits, plastic toys, fixed-pose plastic figures, articulated action figures, polystone figures, resin statues and slush-molded vinyl figures. Each project is reviewed for its own material, process, finish and packaging requirements.
Can we order molds without ordering product manufacturing?
Yes. Mold development and standalone delivery are available. Confirm the receiving factory, machine compatibility, trial and acceptance plan, ownership and the specific handover documents in the agreed project scope.
Why do the galleries mainly show model kits?
The public galleries show authorized KAIYODO / ARTPLA model-kit projects. Other customer work is not published without permission. These galleries are not examples of polystone, resin or vinyl production.
What information should we prepare for a manufacturing review?
Start with the product type, development stage, intended size and assembly approach, material preference if known, expected quantity range, target timing, sales markets and the services you need.
Can ITTAK quote a project before the design is complete?
A project can be reviewed at different development stages. The level of detail available will determine which questions can be answered and what engineering input is needed before tooling or production can be scoped.
Which materials can ITTAK produce components with?
ITTAK produces components using HIPS, ABS and PVC. The appropriate choice depends on part function, structure, appearance, finishing and other project requirements, so material selection is confirmed during review.
What determines MOQ, cost and lead time?
These are project-specific. Design maturity, part and tool complexity, material, finishing, assembly, packaging, quantity plan and approval cycles all influence the manufacturing plan.
How should confidential files be shared?
Begin with a non-confidential overview. If an NDA is required, indicate that before sending unreleased designs or other sensitive project files and wait for ITTAK to confirm the next step.
