Custom Male Sailor Steering a Ship Bobblehead Doll - Personalized Head on Premade Body

Celebrate a boat owner, sailor, ship captain, maritime worker, Navy veteran, fishing enthusiast, or lifelong boating fan with this custom male sailor bobblehead. The premade design features a compact boat-shaped body, nautical uniform, two-handed steering pose, simplified control area, and stable sculpted hull. The smaller ship design keeps the boating theme immediately recognizable while remaining practical for a handmade polyresin bobblehead.

This personalized sailor bobblehead makes a distinctive birthday gift, retirement gift, boat ownership gift, captain appreciation gift, Navy keepsake, marina display, yacht club award, fishing gift, boating milestone gift, or personalized nautical collectible. It is also suited for someone known as the captain of the family, the person always at the wheel, or the friend who spends every available weekend on the water.

Compact Sailor and Ship Bobblehead Design

The boat is intentionally simplified and scaled to work as part of a handcrafted bobblehead. The solid hull, steering control, uniform, hands, and nautical details use thick, production-friendly shapes that can be sculpted, molded, cast in polyresin, and painted by hand. Small railings, fragile antennas, thin ropes, transparent windows, and complicated deck equipment are avoided.

The finished figure has a handmade, hand-sculpted, and hand-painted resin appearance rather than the look of a realistic model ship. Subtle variations in the paint, sculpting, facial features, hull edges, and accessories are expected parts of the handmade process. When teeth are visible, they are softly painted with partially filled spacing instead of perfectly separated, sharply carved teeth.

Premade Sailor Steering Pose

The steering pose, uniform style, compact boat body, hand placement, hull shape, and overall arrangement remain fixed as shown. Clothing, boat, trim, and base colors may be changed when the appropriate options are selected.

Custom bobble head doll proofing

What do we mean by custom bobble head proofing? Custom bobblehead doll proofing means that during the production of your custom bobblehead personal creation, we will email you photos of the work in progress for your approval or request for modification. The proofing of our custom bobblehead dolls will allow you to visually see the personalized bobblehead doll. During the proof stage, feel free to approve our bobble clay mold or make any changes that you feel could enhance the outcome of your custom bobblehead doll.

Why do I want bobblehead doll proofing? When you place your order on our gift shop website, you will provide a photo of the subject for us to create your custom bobblehead doll. Keeping in mind that we do not know the person in your photo/s, providing feedback is a great help for our artists to capture the best likeness of the custom bobblehead subject. We can provide superb bobbles with amazing results but we are only as good as the photo you provide to us and the feedback during the proofs.

What type of proofs will I see? Depending on the production time selected on the order form, we can provide either a bobble head proof, bobble body proof (if the full custom bobblehead option is utilized) and the full color bobble completed proof. Each step can be approved or modified while in that specific stage of proof only. If a modification of a bobble proof will be requested, we will modify the custom bobble and provide the revision proof shortly after for review. It is important to read our emails when proofs are sent for full direction and guidance of the bobblehead proof you will receive. Once you make your final approval of the custom bobble completed stage, we will perform a slow final bake the bobble mold.

Important notice: some of our faster production options include 1 week or 1-2 weeks. During these orders, we provide internal proofing only. We make and send the bobble dolls with no proofs to you. If your custom bobble timeline permits, we suggest a 2-3 week or longer so you can see our custom bobble proofs and then provide the proper approval.

Once we receive a clay proof approval from you, we will bake the bobblehead doll. At that time, no structure changes can be made to the mold. To make a structure change after the custom bobble has been approved we will need to resculpt a new bobble head or bobblehead body which will result in resculpting fee of $55.00.
