Your Puppet Details

Your Questions Answered

What kind of characters work best for this service?

Pubbets Lab Curated is specifically designed around our handcrafted human-style puppet base system. It’s ideal for original human-inspired characters with customised hairstyles, clothing, glasses, accessories, colours, and personality details.

Highly complex creature builds, monsters, animals, mascots, or fully custom body shapes are generally better suited to our Pubbets Masterworks service.

When do I pay?

No payment is required upfront. Once your character direction has been discussed and approved, we’ll send a secure invoice before production begins.

Can I request specific features?

Absolutely. Glasses, hairstyles, facial hair, outfits, accessories, props, and other details can often be incorporated into your character.

Will I see the design before production starts?

Yes. James will personally discuss the concept with you and send design ideas for approval before any building begins.

How long does the process take?

Timeframes can vary depending on workload and complexity, but most curated puppet projects are completed within a few weeks after approval.

Can you recreate a real person?

The service is designed primarily for original character creation, but inspiration from real people, styles, or personalities can absolutely be incorporated.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes — Pubbets ships worldwide from Thailand with tracked shipping.
