About YOUCLAY: Custom Clay Bobbleheads, Hand-Sculpted From Your Photos

YOUCLAY makes custom bobbleheads by hand. Our artists sculpt each figure in polymer clay from the photos you send, so the finished bobblehead looks like you, your family or your pet, not a generic model. We make singles, couples, families and groups of up to 10 figures, and pets too. Production takes 7-10 days, and we ship to 40+ countries.

Since 2022, YOUCLAY has sold more than 300,000 custom bobbleheads to customers around the world.

How is a YOUCLAY custom bobblehead made?

Each bobblehead is sculpted by hand in polymer clay from your photo, then baked to set its shape.

  1. You send a photo. One clear, front-view photo of each person or pet is enough. Add any pose, outfit or accessory requests in the "Note" box on the product page, or email them to business@youclay.com.
  2. Our artist sculpts the face and body. The artist works from your photo to capture facial features, expression and hair, using high-quality, nontoxic polymer clay.
  3. The figure is baked and finished. Each piece is baked at 200°C to set its shape. Once set, it is tough, similar to plastic, and its shape and color last a very long time.
  4. We ship it to you. Production takes 7-10 days. Normally the standard shipping time is 10-15 days, express shipping time is 5-7 days.
