A custom pet figurine that keeps their familiar character in view

The best photo is the one that feels unmistakably like them

You do not need a studio portrait. A useful reference is simply clear enough to show the expression, body shape, coat pattern, and familiar posture you want to keep. A slightly folded ear, a white patch on the chest, or the collar worn every day can matter more than a perfect background.

Miniu begins with one primary photo. If you want a full-body model, select an image where the face, body, and legs are visible. When part of the body is outside the frame, the missing area has to be interpreted. The broader 3D model from a photo guide explains how to assess a reference before you begin.

Before choosing the primary image, use the custom figurine photo checklist to assess light, sharpness, coat markings, cropping, and which body areas should remain visible.

Decide what must feel familiar before adding extras

List two or three traits you recognise immediately: the eye markings, ear shape, collar, tail, or favourite pose. Add those priorities to the request field. A focused brief makes the Preview easier to assess than a long list where every detail has equal weight.

You can choose a cute, Chibi, Kawaii, or more realistic direction at the start. If the idea includes several pets, a detailed setting, or an unusual animal, contact Miniu first so the team can assess the composition, suitable size, and available options.

Choose size according to the detail you want to notice

The 4 cm and 6 cm options work best for a simple silhouette and colour direction. If the face, coat pattern, collar, or posture matters to the character of the piece, 8 cm is a practical size to consider. The 10-15 cm formats provide more room for a prominent display piece. Compare them in the custom 3D figurine size guide.

Current starting prices are ฿1,000 for 4 cm, ฿1,500 for 6 cm, ฿2,500 for 8 cm, ฿3,600 for 10 cm, ฿5,700 for 12 cm, and ฿10,000 for 15 cm. The final amount depends on pet count, base, accessories, and complexity. Review the current options on the pricing page.

From one pet photo to a physical model

1. Choose the clearest photo of your pet.
2. Select a style and describe the markings, pose, or feature that matters most.
3. Create an account or sign in to generate the Preview.
4. Review the shape, colour direction, and overall character.
5. Select the size, base, and final options before payment.

The Preview supports a production decision; it is not a promise that every pixel will become an identical physical detail. Fur texture, fine colour transitions, and small features depend on the size and production process. See the complete sequence on How Miniu works.

A gift for a pet parent, or a personal way to remember

A pet figurine can mark an ordinary pose you love, become a desk piece for someone who lives with a dog or cat, or keep a familiar image close after a pet has passed away. The strongest result does not need every possible accessory. It needs the few details the owner will recognise.

For occasion planning, read the custom figurine gift guide. Allow approximately 3-4 weeks after payment. If a date matters, message LINE @miniu_bkk before ordering to ask about paid priority service and confirmed capacity.

Only submit a photo you are entitled to use. When you are ready, choose one strong image and the defining detail you care about most, then begin your pet’s Preview.
