How to Request Changes to a Custom Figure Design
A useful revision request identifies the difference between the proof and the intended result.

A useful revision request identifies the difference between the proof and the intended result. Give the maker enough context to act without forcing them to guess what “better” means.
Name the feature and reference
Instead of “The hair is wrong,” write “Please use the shorter side fringe in photo A; the current proof follows the older hairstyle in B.” The second note identifies both the issue and the desired source.
For a group, include the person's label and position. Similar outfits or repeated first names can make an otherwise clear comment ambiguous.
Distinguish a correction from a new request
A misspelled name or use of the wrong reference differs from adding another person, changing style or requesting a new scene. State which kind of change you are asking for.
Ask whether new scope affects price, feasibility or timing. Do not assume a revision policy covers every possible redesign; use the terms confirmed for your actual order.
Consolidate feedback
Review the whole proof before sending your list. If several people are helping, collect their comments and resolve contradictions first.
A simple structure works well:
- Essential corrections, with reference labels.
- Optional preferences, in priority order.
- Questions that must be answered before approval.
Avoid sending a new instruction after each small observation. A coherent list gives the designer a stable target and makes the next version easier to assess.
Compare the revised version deliberately
Check the requested changes and make sure they have not displaced another important feature. Confirm that text, people count and included accessories still match the order.
When the design is ready, identify the exact version you approve. Keep it with your final notes rather than relying on memory of a long conversation.
Our proof checklist helps organize that final pass. Clear feedback is collaborative: it explains what matters while giving the maker space to propose a practical solution at the chosen scale.
