Reviewing a figurine proof is easier when you separate the likeness, composition and order details. Start with the large decisions before inspecting tiny decorative features.

Check identity and overall style

Compare the hairstyle, face treatment, expression and outfit with the labeled references. Confirm that the proportions match the chosen style rather than comparing a stylized design with a photographic portrait.

View the proof at a smaller size as well as zoomed in. A detail that looks dominant on your screen may be barely visible on the finished figure, while an incorrect silhouette remains noticeable from across a room.

Check the complete composition

For a group, make sure every person and pet is present, correctly positioned and visible from the intended display angle. Look for props or hair obscuring another face.

Consider the physical design: base footprint, extended parts and fragile-looking details. Ask what kind of proof is being shown and whether the construction has been confirmed, especially with highly detailed illustrative imagery.

Check the order independently

Compare people count, material, size, packaging and included accessories with your order. Read text and dates character by character in a separate pass.

A beautiful background in the preview does not establish that a miniature scene is included. Resolve that question before approval. At VoxelPals, additional backgrounds, arches, furniture and scene accessories need a separate quote.

Return one clear decision

If revisions are needed, send a consolidated list tied to specific references. Separate corrections from optional changes and ask whether the latter affect price or timing.

If the proof is ready, keep a copy of the approved version and the agreed scope. Avoid approving an image while simultaneously requesting an unresolved major change.

Our revision-request guide shows how to turn “something feels off” into useful feedback. The aim is shared understanding before production, not endless comparison at an unrealistic magnification.
