Bobbleheads are in existence for more than 150 years, and for making these many materials have been used. Earliest bobbleheads were from China and these were made from combination of mud and clay. In after years, many materials were tried for making of bobbleheads, but, most of bobbleheads are made from materials such as polyresin, polymer clay and few are made from terracotta. Polyresin is a resin compound and is mostly used for making bobbleheads. Wide range of sculptures, figurines and many other bobbleheads are made from this material, because, this is unbreakable. Another quality of this material is that, it becomes flexible after heating, and can be stretched to create any bobblehead. Also, polyresin allows to add decoration or other details, which may be required to show on bobbleheads. One more major advantage of this material is that it has glitter, and this makes the bobblehead a look, which appears to be new for longer time.

Cost of polyresin is comparatively higher, and if anyone wants to order only single piece, then polyresin will not be good choice. In such cases, polymer clay will be the best choice, it is made of a material called polymer polyvinyl chloride, and it does not contain clay material at all. But, its properties are quite similar to hardened clay, and therefore, it is easy to work with polymer clay, for making sculptures. If you want to order custom bobbleheads, then best quality custom bobble heads can be made from polymer clay. You can order a custom made bobblehead for giving a gift to someone special, and it will be an attractive gift option.

Terracota is a fragile material and it is used to make dancing dolls of Tanjore, which is a city in the state of Tamil Nadu, and these dolls are popular in southern part of India.

But, as they are made from a fragile material, these dolls can break if dropped.
