Why three inches is the sweet spot

Almost everything we make lands between two and a half and three and a half inches tall, and that is not an accident. It is the range where a figurine reads as a collectible rather than a toy, and still sits on a monitor stand without blocking the screen.

What each size range does

• Under two inches: charming, but detail gets muddy and the piece disappears on a shelf.
• Two and a half to three and a half inches: enough surface for a face, small enough to fit anywhere.
• Over four inches: needs a dedicated spot. Great for a focal shelf, awkward for a desk.

Why it also keeps the price sane

Print time scales with volume, not height. A four-inch duck is not 30% more plastic than a three-inch one, it is closer to 80% more, and print time follows the same curve. Staying at three inches is what keeps a figurine in the price range where someone buys two instead of one.

Three inches is the size that fits in a hand, a mailer and a budget.

The exception is our oversized pieces, which exist because a giant gorilla duck is funny in a way a small one is not. Those are labeled with their height so nobody is surprised by the box.
