Product Sourcing Specialist Needed for Luxury Custom Dolls I’m the founder of Mya House, a luxury dollhouse and heirloom toy brand. We’re looking for an experienced sourcing specialist to help us find a reliable manufacturer for our original doll collection and manage the process from initial quotes through sampling and production. Our dolls will accompany our luxury dollhouses and also be sold separately. We have character designs and visual references available. The collection includes: * Adult dolls approximately 14–15 cm tall, children approximately 11–12 cm, and babies approximately 7–8 cm. * Soft, charming faces with a timeless, premium appearance. * Articulated or poseable bodies, with guidance needed on the best construction and materials at this scale. * High-quality hair, clothing, and carefully finished details. * Scope to develop additional characters, ethnicities, and seasonal outfits. We need someone who can: * Find and vet manufacturers with relevant custom doll experience. * Confirm they can reproduce our designs rather than supply existing catalogue dolls. * Obtain clear quotes for prototypes, tooling, minimum order quantities, production, and lead times. * Recommend practical ways to achieve the desired quality while keeping development costs manageable. * Coordinate samples, revisions, supplier communication, and quality control. We are a startup and need a realistic route to small initial production runs, with room to scale. Manufacturers can be based anywhere, provided their quality, pricing, and communication are suitable. Please include examples of relevant sourcing projects, your fees, and your estimated timeline for presenting a shortlist of qualified manufacturers. Direct experience with dolls, toys, miniature figures, or similar products is strongly preferred.

Hi, this is Nethys(Manyi Liao), I have over ten years of experience in product sourcing and procurement working for foreign-invested companies, with a strong track record in custom product development and supplier management. As a Procurement Engineer at a Turkish-owned design firm, I sourced custom furniture, lighting, and hotel supplies for luxury hotel projects including Flora Garden, IBIS, and Ramada. I managed the full sourcing cycle — supplier identification, capability assessment, sample approval, quality inspection, and delivery coordination — ensuring high-end quality standards were met. At a Belgian-owned company, I collaborated with design teams to develop new products and evaluate suppliers on quality, technology, and delivery capability. I also have foreign trade experience, which gives me a solid understanding of client requirements, cost negotiation, and order fulfillment. I work in English as my business language and am detail-oriented, quality-focused, and execution-driven. I am confident in my ability to source reliable manufacturers for luxury custom dolls and manage the entire production process to premium standards.

Hello, Your luxury custom doll collection needs a sourcing process that protects the character designs while making small-batch production commercially realistic. I can help structure the manufacturer search around articulated construction, premium materials, hair and garment finishing, tooling, MOQ, sampling, lead times, and scalable quality control. I will use Market Research to identify and vet suppliers with genuine custom doll or miniature figure capability, then translate your visual references into clear manufacturing requirements and quote comparisons. My Concept Design experience will support practical recommendations when balancing heirloom appearance, poseability, and development cost, while Manufacturing considerations guide supplier communication, sample revisions, and production readiness. I can begin by reviewing your references and target quantities, then present a qualified shortlist with a clear sourcing roadmap and timeline. Could you share your target initial quantities, preferred materials, and whether the dolls require fully articulated bodies or limited poseability? Best regards, Sahil

Hello there, Bringing a luxury doll collection from beautiful character designs to consistent, production-ready samples requires the right manufacturer—not simply the lowest quote. I can help Mya House find a partner who understands custom development, small initial runs, premium finishing, and the ability to scale as the brand grows. I’ll identify and vet manufacturers experienced with custom dolls, toys, miniature figures, or similar products, confirming their ability to reproduce your original designs rather than offering catalogue products. I’ll compare prototype/tooling costs, MOQ, production pricing, materials, lead times, customization capabilities, and communication quality, then narrow this to the most practical manufacturers for your startup. I can also support you supplier communication, quotation comparison, sample coordination, revisions, and QC checkpoints so potential quality or cost issues are identified early—helping you avoid expensive development mistakes. With my background in product sourcing, supplier research, negotiation, project management, and quality-focused vendor coordination, the goal is to make your journey from concept, prototype, initial production as smooth and commercially realistic as possible.

Hi, there At 7 to 15 cm, "articulated" is where doll projects go wrong. It can mean a wire-armature cloth body, PVC joints in the OB11 style, or cast resin, and each changes the money. Steel tooling is about $2,500 to $3,000 per mold with 1,000-piece minimums, while resin starts near 200 pieces at a higher unit price. Three sizes means three body sets, so I would push for one shared joint system. Two more traps: factories that repaint a stock body and call it custom, and age grading. An 8 cm baby is a small part by definition, so a toy label triggers third-party CPSIA and EN71 testing and a 14+ heirloom label does not. My sourcing background is hardware, not dolls. As CTO of Assist A Boss for 18 years I vetted suppliers for POS systems, servers and custom builds, sample in hand before purchase. At Insight I ran hardware sourcing for Brown & Brown branch offices: quotes, sample approval, warranty claims and quality checks across thousands of units. - One spec pack so every factory quotes the same doll - Five vetted makers with proof of original custom work - Quotes side by side: prototype, tooling, MOQ, unit price, lead time - Sample rounds against a photo checklist you approve If you're looking for scalable, practical value rather than just a one-time project, I can help you achieve meaningful results through small but lasting improvements that will exceed your expectations and surprise everyone involved.

Hi, I am based in Shenzhen, Greater Bay Area, China. I focus on supplier sourcing and factory audit. I source and vet makers for your original custom dolls, not ready-made items. I check capacity and collect quotes for prototype, mould, samples and MOQ, then deliver qualified supplier shortlist. I visit factories in person to inspect workshops, equipment, doll cases and quality control systems. I hold environmental compliance certificates to audit factory environmental status on site. I assess factory background: scale, QC system, delivery reliability and public legal/penalty records to reduce risks. I coordinate sample making and revisions, communicate with suppliers and do on-site sample inspection with photos and videos. Sample international shipping cost is on your side. Terms: 1. Prototype, mould and sample fees are borne by you. 2. I only handle technical communication. All production payments go directly from you to the factory. I will NOT receive or forward funds. Escrow protects your payment. 3. My work covers sourcing, vetting and sample inspection. Product quality and lead time are agreed between you and the manufacturer. The whole sourcing and vetting project will be completed within 21 days, split into 3 milestones of 7 days each. This excludes sample production and shipping after factory selection. Early delivery is possible if qualified manufacturers are found sooner. This project has 3 Escrow milestones. Looking forward to further discussion.
