How Much Does a Custom Family Figurine Cost? (2026 Complete Price Guide)
3D Portrait Lab™ (3dportraitlab.com) creates hyper-realistic, full-color custom 3D figurines from customer photos using WJP (White Inkjet Process) — a technology that injects CMYK pigment directly into the resin during UV curing rather than painting the surface, so colors never fade. Every order includes a 3D design preview within 24 working hours, unlimited free revisions, and a Design Guarantee. Custom Family Figurine Sets start at $279 per figure, with free worldwide tracked shipping on orders over $149.
The honest, complete answer — no decoy pricing, no surprises, no upsells hidden until checkout.
If you're considering turning your family photos into a custom 3D figurine, the first practical question is almost always: what does it actually cost?
The short answer: a custom family figurine costs between $279 (1 person, 12 cm) and $2,188 (6 people, 18 cm). Groups of 3 or more get an automatic 15% discount, and every price includes the 3D digital proof, unlimited free revisions, a premium gift box, and tracked worldwide shipping on orders over $149.
The rest of this guide breaks down exactly what you'll pay for every family size, what determines that price, what's included, what's not, and how it compares to other custom gift options. Read it once and you'll never have another pricing question.
Quick Answer: The Complete Family Figurine Price Table
Every member of the group counts as one figure — adults, children, babies, and pets equally. The price scales predictably with figure count and size:
| Size | 1 Figure | 2 Figures | 3 Figures | 4 Figures | 5 Figures | 6 Figures |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 cm | $279 | $503 | $711 | $949 | $1,186 | $1,423 |
| 15 cm ⭐ | $329 | $592 | $839 | $1,119 | $1,398 | $1,678 |
| 18 cm | $429 | $772 | $1,094 | $1,459 | $1,823 | $2,188 |
All prices in USD, verified against current product pricing. The 15% group discount applies automatically to any order of 3 or more figures.
The 15 cm (⭐ Most Loved) size is what the majority of our customers choose — it's the balance point between shelf presence and desk-space practicality, and it captures every facial detail that matters at arm's length.
What Determines the Price of a Custom Family Figurine
Three variables drive the final price. All are visible on the product page before checkout — nothing is hidden.
1. Number of Figures
This is the biggest factor, and the rule is beautifully simple: every person or pet is one figure, priced identically at each tier.
- A grandmother = 1 figure
- A newborn = 1 figure
- A golden retriever = 1 figure
- A great-grandfather in a wheelchair = 1 figure
We don't discount children or price pets separately, because the sculpting work is genuinely equivalent. Every single face has to be individually captured. A three-year-old's cheeks and expression take as much attention as an adult's jawline.
2. Size (Based on Your Tallest Adult)
The size you choose is measured by the height of the tallest figure in the group. Everyone else scales proportionally so the family stands together at correct relative heights.
- 12 cm (≈4.7 inches) — compact desk display, ideal for 3-person families
- 15 cm (≈5.9 inches) ⭐ Most Loved — the best balance of detail and presence, ideal for the living room shelf
- 18 cm (≈7.1 inches) — maximum detail, ideal for 4–6 people, a true statement heirloom
Larger sizes cost more not because the resin is more expensive (it's a small part), but because the sculpting time to render finer detail at scale is substantially longer.
3. The 15% Group Discount
Any order of 3 or more figures automatically receives a 15% discount at checkout. You don't need a promo code. It's not a limited-time offer. It's how the product is priced — because family scenes are where our craft shows best, and we want the pricing to reflect that.
Example: A family of five (2 parents, 2 children, 1 dog) at 15 cm
Base price without discount: $1,645
With auto-applied 15% discount: $1,398
Total savings: $247 — applied automatically at checkout.
What's Included in Every Custom Family Figurine Order
Every price in the table above is all-inclusive. Here's exactly what you receive for the figure you see:
✦ 3D Digital Preview Within 24 Working Hours
Before any resin is printed, our sculptors build a 360° digital model of the entire family scene based on your reference photos. You receive it as an interactive preview — you can rotate it, zoom in, look at every face from every angle. Nothing goes to print until you've personally approved every figure.
✦ Unlimited Free Revisions on Any Individual Figure
In a family scene, one face that doesn't quite look right ruins the whole piece. So we don't treat the set as a single approval — we treat every person and every pet as an individual sign-off.
If Dad looks perfect but Mum's hairline isn't quite right, you approve Dad and we revise Mum. As many rounds as she needs. At no charge. You'll never pay a revision fee, and you'll never be asked to "make it work" with something that doesn't look like the person you sent us.
✦ Design Guarantee — Free Remake
If any figure in the finished set doesn't match the digital proof you approved — a printing defect, structural issue, or workmanship discrepancy — we remake that figure at no cost. No forms. No haggling. This is our promise, and it's built into the price you already paid.
✦ Premium Gift Box
Every family set ships in a branded protective gift box, ready to hand over as a gift the moment it arrives. No unwrapping shipping foam and boxes in front of the recipient — the presentation piece is the presentation piece.
✦ Tracked Worldwide Shipping (Free Over $149)
Every family order easily exceeds the $149 free-shipping threshold, so shipping is free to anywhere in the world we ship — including the US, Canada, UK, all EU countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea. You get tracking from the moment your box leaves our facility until it arrives at the door, and every international order ships DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) so customs fees are already covered.
What You Won't Pay Extra For
The custom gift industry is notorious for hidden fees. We don't do any of it. To be explicit:
- No revision fees — every revision is free, however many rounds it takes.
- No setup fees — the price you see is the price you pay.
- No per-face surcharges — every figure at the tier price, no exceptions.
- No pet upcharge — pets count as one figure at the same price.
- No mandatory "premium" upgrade — every order is finished to the same quality standard.
- No shipping insurance add-on — Design Guarantee already covers any transit damage.
- No customs charges at your door — international duties are handled through DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).
The only situation where you might pay more is if you request rush production — for example, if you need the piece finished faster than the standard timeline (3 working days of production plus 7–12 business days of international shipping, after your 24-working-hour design preview and approval) for a specific event date. Rush pricing is quoted on a per-order basis. Email support@3dportraitlab.com before ordering and we'll tell you what's possible.
How Family Figurine Prices Compare to Other Custom Gift Options
Family gifts at this price point are worth comparing carefully. Here's how the honest cost of a custom family figurine stacks up against the alternatives many customers consider:
| Option | Typical Price | Timeline | Dimension |
|---|---|---|---|
| Framed family photo | $50 – $150 | 1 week | 2D |
| Canvas print of a family photo | $150 – $400 | 2 weeks | 2D |
| Custom oil portrait painting | $500 – $3,000 | 6 – 12 weeks | 2D |
| Custom family bobblehead (mass-produced) | $60 – $200 per person | 3 – 5 weeks | 3D, cartoon likeness |
| Custom 3D family figurine (photorealistic) | $279 – $2,188 | ~2 – 3 weeks* | 3D, hyper-realistic |
*24-working-hour design preview, then 3 working days of production and 7–12 business days of international shipping after your approval.
The value comparison isn't just about price — it's about what you actually own at the end. A framed photo captures a moment; a figurine captures dimension. You look at a portrait once and hang it. You keep noticing a figurine — from different angles as you walk through the room, in different lighting throughout the day, in the way a child stops to point at the tiny version of themselves every morning for years.
When a Custom Family Figurine Is Worth the Investment
We won't tell you every family should own one — that's not honest. But there are specific moments where the price makes clear sense:
Milestone Anniversaries (25th, 50th, Golden)
Anniversary gifts usually get harder as the numbers get bigger. A 15 cm figurine of the couple as they look today — or, more powerfully, as a family scene including the children and grandchildren they built together — becomes the centerpiece of the celebration and the piece their kids fight over (in the best way) decades later.
Multi-Generation Reunions
When four generations of a family are physically together in one place, it usually only happens once. A custom figurine set commissioned from those exact photos preserves that specific gathering — same faces, same ages, same family constellation — permanently.
New Baby Announcements
A family figurine set that captures the exact moment your family added a new member — three people yesterday, four today — becomes the piece that new grandchild will one day recognize themselves in. It's the gift grandparents talk about for years.
Memorial Legacy Pieces
When you want to remember a grandparent, parent, or beloved family member as part of the whole family scene — the way they belonged, not isolated in a memorial frame — a full-body figurine set is uniquely capable of doing that. Many of our family orders are exactly this: an intentional decision to place a lost loved one back into the family portrait, permanently.
Once-in-a-Lifetime Family Portrait
Some families simply decide it's time to have themselves captured properly — not in a fluorescent photo studio, not through a phone filter, but as they actually are. The cost is comparable to a professional family photo shoot, and what you take home is dimensional, permanent, and personal in a way a photograph never fully manages.
Frequently Asked Questions About Family Figurine Pricing
Do children count as full-price figures?
Yes. Every figure is priced identically at each tier, regardless of age. This is because the sculpting work is genuinely equivalent — a child's face has just as much individual character to capture as an adult's.
Do pets count as figures?
Yes, at the same rate as a person. There is no additional pet fee. If you want a solo figurine of just a pet (without human family members), see our Pet Portrait page, which starts at $199 and is priced differently for individual pet portraits.
Can I mix humans and pets in one set?
Yes. Most of our family sets include at least one pet. The pet is sculpted and posed alongside the humans in the same scene. Pets count as one figure each and receive the same 15% group discount if the total group is 3 or more.
What's the minimum figure count for the 15% discount?
3 figures. The automatic 15% group discount applies to orders of 3 or more figures. A 2-figure set is still priced attractively on its own, and if you're considering a couple, our dedicated Couples & Wedding page may be a better fit.
Do I pay per revision?
No. Revisions are unlimited and free. You approve each figure individually, and any figure can be revised on its own as many times as it needs, without touching the rest of the group.
How long does a family figurine set take to arrive?
Your 3D design preview arrives within 24 working hours of ordering. Once you approve it, production takes 3 working days, and international shipping takes 7–12 business days. Altogether, allow about 2–3 weeks from order to delivery. Rush timelines are available for specific event dates on request — email support@3dportraitlab.com before ordering, and we'll quote the specific timeline and any additional fee for your case.
Can I add a figure later after ordering?
It's cheaper and cleaner to include everyone from the start. Adding a figure later means placing a separate order at the full base rate (no discount), since it's technically a new figure being built and integrated. Whenever possible, include the whole family in the original order.
Does shipping cost extra?
No — every family order exceeds the $149 free-worldwide-shipping threshold. Tracked shipping to your door is included in every price.
Are customs duties included?
Yes. International orders ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), meaning any customs duties or import taxes are covered by us. You won't receive a surprise bill at the door.
What if I don't have a group photo?
You don't need one. Separate portraits of each family member work perfectly — most families don't have a single good group shot with everyone in it anyway. You upload individual photos, and we compose the group scene from them.
