When you buy resin, you will get a figure in an anime series that has never been made before or at least not mass-produced. By creating an original figure from scratch, you are adding more excitement and anticipation for the purchaser.

They capture a character's spirit with outstanding detail and make for an exclusive collectible not easily found anywhere. The most popular types of resin figures are garage kit figures.

Resin figures can quickly melt at lower temperatures. 2. It isn't easy to alter the angle of the figure. When you modify, you may find that the resin has already hardened. So many people who want to create a new design end up using recycled parts of existing resin dolls instead. 3. The hardware used in resin casting is limited, which shows in the cost. Resin figures cost more to produce. Advantages of PVC 1. The plastic part of PVC does not melt and smoke at low temperatures.2. PVC is widely used in plastic manufacturing and is cheaper.
