Perfect Customer Service, Really?
Let's be honest, although we strive to offer the best in customer service and value for your buck, there's always room for improvement. The company that tells you that their service and overall business performance is sheer perfection is not exactly being honest. The simple fact is that theirs always room for improvement. ALWAYS. It's an ongoing experience that takes learning from your mistakes and understanding what exactly are the needs of the customer.
It's not a wham, bam sell the product, get you out situation. You have to really put yourself in the customer's shoes. For example, your up early ready to head to this new (unanimous coffee shop) to get your morning cup of java. Your not really in the best of moods today because number one, it's early. Number two, you know you have a very busy day ahead of you that your not looking forward to. So you head inside (the unanimous coffee shop) and the place is not very inviting and the staff aren't very friendly. But you need your coffee so you continue to approach the counter. The employee asks you what you want in a very dry tone, you order and the employee hands you your coffee without so much as a "have a nice day" or "thanks for your business." Fine. You hop in your car and drive a ways taking your first sip of coffee. It's watered down and has an off taste to it! Not a good way to start what is to be a very trying day. Now everyone has days where their not themselves or it's not business as usual, but if you decided to return to that shop and had the same experience, would you go a third time? Maybe, maybe not.
The point is that all businesses have flaws that need to be addressed. We believe that the customer deserves more one on one attention to ensure them that their making the right decision in doing business with us. Also, the product should be the best quality possible and the customer should never have to just settle for a purchase but to be absolutely thrilled with it. Especially since our products can be a timely process to deliver and can be frustrating at times waiting for it's arrival. Having to wait for an order and at the same time dealing with poor service is not a good mix.
That being said, you told us what your concerns are with your overall experience and we listened. Here's what we heard:
1. Likeness - Most people absolutely love our custom bobbleheads and figurines. But then there are some who believe they need to have more resemblance. We work with some of the best artists artists in the world who have gone through vigorous training to sculpt these dolls. These are meant to be humorous caricature pieces and are not meant to be exact replicas of a person. That does not mean that we don't take this request into consideration. We want everyone to be happy. So we've brought more artists on board with a slightly different style than our previous bobbleheads. Remember, these are made based on only a photo which is different from having the person actually there. We continue to strive to capture more facial features.
2. Pricing - This can be quite pricey we know, but keep in mind that these are hand painted and sculpted. These take literally hours just to create one piece not including any revisions. Plus, their made to order and are not stocked. Each piece is different and involves a different approach to creation. We now offer 5.75" bobbleheads available for $79.99.
3. Time - On average it takes about 3 to 4 weeks to create a bobblehead. Not much can be done to speed the process up because it simply takes time to get them right. We suggest you decide exactly how you would like your order to be made before production. That avoids having to go back and redo something which means added time. Also, proofs should be responded to in a timely matter. We do have rush options available meaning your order would jump the queue and become top priority over other orders.
We truly appreciate your business and want you to be as happy receiving them as we our creating them. I mean, who doesn't love bobble heads?! We are always willing to hear any questions or concerns you may have because you help make us better. We're not perfect, but we strive to be the best at what we do. Thanks again and remember to be the bobble!

New Updates, New Bobbleheads
It's been a very busy couple of weeks here at Face It Figures. We've put our heads together to come up with ways to improve shopping experience and offer more to the table. We want you to be completely satisfied with the entire process from start to finish. That being said, we've heard your comments and suggestions and are ready to deliver. So here's whats new:
1. Storefront design changes and easier navigation - The store needed a few updates so we changed a few colors and fonts along with minor layout changes. No big deal, right? Okay. We then changed our categories for an easier browsing experience. Both male and female bobbleheads have their own separate sub categories instead of being mixed together. This should help you find what you need much quicker.
2. We've made the ordering process easier - We were told that the the order process was confusing so we made it easier to choose your bobblehead or figurine, add your accessories and special requests.

My Top 5 Favorite Childhood Toys
Last week I talked about what inspired me to start a bobble head business. Now I'd like to show you my top favorite toys that I had as a child. So let's take a walk down memory lane together, shall we?
1. Hot Wheels Diecast Cars
Do you remember these? I was absolutely crazy about these cars! You name it, I had it. Camaros, Corvettes, Ferrari, and Ford trucks. These were a lot of fun to collect. Of course me and my brothers would beat them up pretty bad. We would crash them into each other and build ramps that had them launched in the air. I actually still have a few of these stored away somewhere. I believe they still produce them, but the build quality is nowhere near what the use to be. Now they make them out of plastic.
*Mattel borrows the actual blueprint of the vehicle from the manufacturer.
*They license the blueprints over to Mattel and must be returned after their finished.
What was you favorite Hot Wheels Car?
Mine was the 1972 Corvette Stringray.
2. Happy Meal Toys
Remember when a McDonald's Happy Meal Toy was a real toy? Nowadays their lightweight and cheap with a bunch of plastic parts. Back in the day they really put some thought into what you would find in that Happy Meal box. I truly enjoyed these toys back in the early 90's. I loved when my parents would ask me if I wanted a Happy Meal for lunch. I would anticipate going to the restaurant, picking up that colorful box and smelling the food. Man, I loved those hamburgers! What was cooler than sitting down to your favorite lunch and knowing there was a prize waiting for you inside the box? It wasn't as often as I would of liked it to have been so I'd savor the moment. I guess my parents were concerned about my health. Anyway, some of the toys I remember receiving when I was a child (some of which I still possess to this day) are The Smurfs, Fraggile Rock, Animaniacs and Snow White to name a few. A few years ago, I was checking out a local flea market and came across an entire set of sealed Simpsons plush from the early 90's. Needless to say I picked them up, for nostalgic reasons. Come to think of it, where they made by McDonald's or Burger King?
*In Canada, the promotion prior to the Happy Meal was called the "Treat of the Week," where a different toy was available free on request each week.
What was you favorite Happy Meal toy as a child?
One of my favorites was the Animaniacs line. I had the entire set but the pigeons were my favorite.
3. Power Rangers
Wow, when I was a kid I use to dream about being a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger! I use to look forward to the show every day after school. The whole concept of being a teenager with the ability to perform martial arts and possessing morphing powers at the same time was something that captivated me. My brothers and sisters each had their favorite and we had basically every character from the show, good guy and bad. We really enjoyed battling it out with our Power Rangers back in the day. Of course, this was the original series and they have released so many different versions of the show over the years. How many are there now anyway?
Did You Know?
There are over 15 different Power Rangers series that have spawned from the original over the years!
Who was you favorite Power Ranger?
I always wanted to be the leader of the group, the Red Ranger.
4. Hess Trucks
Yes I use to collect the new Hess truck that's released every year. I know they still release them, but haven't checked them out in years. I wonder if the build quality is the same as it was? There was nothing like running down to the Christmas tree and finding a big brand new Hess truck. Not only did they have the working lights horn and backup alert sounds, but they usually came with a car. These trucks were actually taken car of because I loved them so much. But, I lost interest and ended up selling them. Still, these trucks make for an excellent collection and I'm sure will increase in value if you hold on to them.
The demand for Hess trucks continue to rise by collectors young and old. If you have them, hold on to them!
5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
How can I make a list of my favorite childhood toys without including the Ninja Turtles? Unheard of! You name it Leonardo, Donatello, April O' Neil I had them. I even had the Ninja Turtle van. The Turtles were my number one favorite cartoon when I was young. I even went beyond the action figures with t-shirts, a bedroom set, backpacks and they even released trading cards based on the series which I had a ton of. I owned the first wave of action figures that were released but the one's that really grabbed my attention were the talking figures. I believe that the shells would protrude a bit further out than the regular because that's where the speaker was located. Lot's of fun. Oh yeah, one more thing, I also had the Rock Em' Sock Em' Ninja Turtles. We really beat that toy up!
Producer Michael Bay plans on releasing a brand new Turtles movie entitled, "Ninja Turtles?" Hope it lives up to fans expectations.
Who was your favorite Turtle growing up?
I always thought Leonardo was the coolest because he was always calm and collected. Plus, my favorite color is blue!
It's been great taking this trip down memory lane. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Of course there are many other awesome toys that I had a child, but these sto0od out from the rest. If you have a favorite childhood toys you'd like to mention, please share with us!
Just a quick suggestion: If your a collector trying to hunt down some of these rare childhood favorites then Ebay is a great place to find action figures, rare lunchboxes and more! I guarantee you words will be "Hey, I remember that!"

Quick Facts:
- In 1964, the first highly detailed toy tanker, the "B Model Mack Tanker" was sold at Hess gas stations.
- They were made to be exact replicas of vehicles in the Hess fleet until 1987 when the design was changed to include non-fleet vehicles.
