Contract manufacturing for brands & IP owners
ITTAK manufactures fixed-pose plastic collectible figures. The review brings sculpt appearance, PVC and ABS component choices, part joins, decoration and display stability into one production brief.
A fixed-pose figure is supplied for display rather than designed around a poseable joint system or user-built runners. It may still have separate parts or removable accessories. Confirm what is assembled at the factory and what the customer is expected to attach.
Plan the specification
Use these review topics to define the actual project. Specifications, processes, quantities, cost, timing and evaluation methods are agreed individually.
01
Identify the face, hair, clothing folds and other features that define the character. Review where parts divide and where seams or assembly joints can be accepted. Mark the preferred viewing direction rather than assuming every surface has the same visual priority.
02
PVC and ABS can be considered as part of the component plan; ITTAK produces these components in-house. Review rigidity or flexibility, connection geometry, finishing and the support needed for the pose. No single material choice guarantees resistance to deformation for every design.
03
Distinguish molded color from painted surfaces and printed details. Define color references, gloss levels, facial detail placement and approved sample views. A painted prototype is a useful reference, but production approval needs agreed criteria for the actual manufacturing process.
04
Discuss the base, attachment points, protruding accessories and areas exposed to handling. Review fit and display position on representative samples. Confirm whether parts ship installed or separately protected, with clear assembly instructions where needed.
Start with what you know
You do not need every answer before the first conversation. Mark unknowns so confirmed requirements are separated from engineering decisions still to make.
Before sharing designs
Ask about an NDA and an appropriate transfer method before sending unreleased files. Identify the brand or character rights and the permission to use supplied artwork for manufacture.
Tell us whether you need product manufacturing or a mold-only project. We welcome worldwide inquiries, including English-speaking markets and Japan.
Share a Project OverviewBuyer questions
This page is for fixed-pose plastic figures. If the buyer is meant to remove parts from runners and build the product, use the plastic model kit manufacturing page so the assembly experience is reviewed as part of the product.
A mixed-material design can be reviewed. The material for each part must be selected with its geometry, support, connection and finishing requirements in mind; there is no automatic material combination for every figure.
Yes, these requirements belong in the project review and sample-approval scope. Supply reference views and define which details and variations matter. Sampling stages and acceptance criteria are agreed for the project.
