Personalized Superhero Figurines

These Superman Figurines are Made to Look Exactly Like You

— June 12, 2013 — Life-Stages
These personalized superhero figurines can be designed to look exactly like Superman fans. Design studio Minime4U specializes in creating custom-ordered dolls for customers who want a special, personalized trinket. With the Superhero template, comic book fans can fulfill their dreams of becoming an immortal defender of the innocent.

The figurine's body is standard and cannot be changed. It consists of the iconic Superman costume, including the red speedo over the blue leggings. Using photos sent in by clients as a reference, as well as a skin and eye color template, Minime4U sets to work creating stunningly accurate doll-like representations of customers.

Each Superman doll takes 10-20 days to complete, as everything has to be molded and painted to perfection. Without this attention to detail, these dolls wouldn't be as uncannily realistic as they are.

With Man of Steel arriving in theaters in two days' time, there's never been a better time to don your Superman alter-ego. These dolls make for the perfect tribute to one of the most iconic franchises in American history.
