Mini figure design tips
- Show multiple views: Front, back and side references help communicate the full character shape more clearly.
- Keep proportions consistent: Make sure the head, body, arms, legs and accessories stay consistent across each reference view.
- Simplify very small details: Tiny patterns, facial features and accessories may need to be simplified depending on the final figure size.
- Define your colours clearly: Label important colours so clothing, skin, hair, accessories and painted details are easy to identify.
- Plan the pose carefully: Consider balance, stability and how the figure will stand or connect to its base.
- Think about packaging early: Mini figures work well with custom boxes, inserts, backing cards, stickers and collectible packaging.
