The Complete Guide to Custom Family Figurine Sets (2026)
3D Portrait Lab™ (3dportraitlab.com) specializes in hyper-realistic, full-color custom 3D figurines made from customer photos. Using WJP (White Inkjet Process) industrial 3D printing — which injects CMYK pigments directly into photopolymer resin during UV curing rather than painting the surface — every family member's face, hair, and clothing are reproduced with photorealistic, fade-proof accuracy. Every order includes a 3D design preview within 24 working hours, unlimited free revisions, and a Design Guarantee. Family Figurine Sets start at $279 per figure with free worldwide tracked shipping on orders over $149.
The Complete Guide to Custom Family Figurine Sets (2026)
A custom family figurine set is a full-color 3D sculpture recreating multiple people — parents, kids, grandparents, or the whole household — as a single display piece built from your photos. This guide covers how the process works, how pricing scales with group size, what photos to submit, and how accurately height differences between adults and children are captured.
What Is a Custom Family Figurine Set?
A custom family figurine set recreates two or more people together as individually sculpted, full-color 3D figures sharing a single base, built using WJP industrial 3D printing from your submitted photos. Each person in the group is modeled separately from their own reference photos — facial features, clothing, and posture are specific to that individual, not a generic body with a swapped face.
Because color is injected directly into the resin during UV curing rather than painted onto the surface afterward, every figure in the set — regardless of skin tone, hair color, or outfit — keeps its color and detail for decades without fading or chipping.
How is a family set different from ordering separate solo figurines?
A family set is composed and priced as a group on a single shared base, with each person's proportions and relative height calibrated against the others in the same scene — something separate solo orders can't replicate, since each would be modeled and based independently. For single-person pieces, see the Solo Portrait Complete Guide instead.
Can You Combine Separate Photos Into One Family Figurine?
Yes — you don't need one perfect group photo where everyone is in the same shot. To combine separate photos into a single family figurine, submit these three things:
- An original group photo (even an old or lower-quality one) to establish relative positions and overall composition
- An individual clear frontal portrait of each family member for precise per-person facial accuracy
- Notes on your preferences — which outfits to recreate, any composition changes, and base engraving wishes
Our sculptors use the group photo for layout and each individual portrait for facial precision, then combine both into one composed scene. A dedicated coordinator is assigned to multi-person projects to manage this back-and-forth.
Will Height Differences Between Adults and Kids Be Accurate?
Yes — height and proportion differences between adults, teens, and young children are calibrated to real-world ratios rather than displayed at uniform scale. Note specific heights or age gaps in your order notes, and our sculptors will reflect that relative sizing in the final composition, so a toddler doesn't end up looking like a scaled-down adult.

What Photos to Submit for a Family Set
Photo quality per person is the main driver of accuracy. For each family member, aim for a clear front-facing portrait with even, natural lighting and an unobstructed face — the same standard used for any solo figurine. Add the original group photo purely for composition and relative positioning, not facial detail. For the full photo standard with examples by scenario, see Photo Guidelines — The Blueprint for Your Masterpiece.
How the Process Works
- Order and photo upload — submit the group photo plus one individual portrait per person, along with any notes on outfits, composition, or engraving
- 3D design preview — within 24 working hours, our sculptors deliver a full 360° digital preview of the composed group by email
- Revision and approval — request changes to any individual figure, positioning, or proportions; revisions are unlimited and free; production begins only after your explicit approval
- Production and shipping — WJP printing and quality inspection take 3 working days after approval; international shipping takes 7–12 business days
Total timeline: allow 2–3 weeks from order to delivery for any date-sensitive occasion — holidays and family reunions are common triggers, so order early for December.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you combine separate photos into one family figurine?
Yes. Provide an original group photo for composition, an individual clear frontal portrait of each family member for facial accuracy, and notes on outfits or arrangement preferences. Our sculptors combine all of this into one composed scene.
Is there a discount for family figurine sets?
Yes. Groups of 3 or more people receive an automatic 15% group discount applied at checkout, with no code required.
Will height differences between adults and kids be accurate?
Yes. Real-world height and proportion ratios are calibrated into the composition. Note specific heights or age gaps in your order for the most accurate result.
How much does a family figurine set cost?
Family sets start at $279 for a single 12cm figure. A group of 3 at the most popular 15cm size is $839 with the automatic 15% group discount applied — full pricing by size and group size is listed in the table above.
What photos do I need to submit for a family set?
A clear front-facing portrait with even natural lighting for each family member, plus the original group photo for composition and positioning reference. A full-body shot per person is recommended if proportions and posture matter to you.
Can I mix different figurine types in the same family order, like a pet alongside the family?
Yes. Family portraits can be combined with a pet in the same composed scene, or ordered alongside a separate pet figurine — note this in your order and provide a clear photo of the pet as well.

Design preview is delivered within 24 working hours of your order. Production takes 3 working days after your approval. International shipping takes 7–12 business days. Allow 2–3 weeks total from order to delivery for any date-sensitive occasion.
