FIBERGLASS STATUES · MASCOTS, ANIMALS, PEOPLE, GIANT PIECES
Custom fiberglass statues,
life-size and bigger.
PrintAWorld makes custom fiberglass statues for stores, schools, teams and brands: mascots, life-size animals and characters, statues of people and giant roadside pieces. We model the statue from your artwork, make a full-size master and mold, and build a painted fiberglass shell with a steel frame inside for tall or outdoor pieces. A 3–4 ft statue costs $4,000–$6,000, life-size $8,000–$15,000 and 8–10 ft $18,000–$35,000. Need it sooner? A 3D printed statue takes 4–6 weeks.
01 / WHAT WE MAKE
Statues that stand outside,
in the lobby or on the booth.
Send a logo, a mascot drawing, photos of a person or animal, or a 3D file. We turn it into a statue you approve as a 3D model before anything is built.
- Mascot statues for stores, schools and teams
- Your mascot at full size for a storefront, a campus, a stadium entrance or a dealership lot. Life-size mascots usually cost $8,000–$15,000.
- Life-size animals and characters
- Dogs, bulls, cows, horses, sheep, dinosaurs and cartoon characters, realistic or stylized, for a lobby, a farm stand, a park or the roof of a trade-show booth.
- Statues of people
- A founder for the headquarters lobby, a coach outside the field, a memorial figure. We model the likeness from photos and you approve the face before production. Life-size statues ↗
- Giant roadside and landmark pieces
- Ten feet and up: a giant product, an animal or a character that people stop to photograph. 8–10 ft pieces run $18,000–$35,000; 12 ft and taller from $40,000.
- Giant products and logos
- An oversized version of your bottle, can, shoe or logo for a storefront, a showroom or a tour that needs to survive months of handling. Giant product replicas ↗
- Copies from one mold
- Once the mold exists, more copies cost less than the first: one statue for every franchise location, school or sponsor.
02 / HOW A FIBERGLASS STATUE IS MADE
From your drawing
to a statue that lasts outdoors.
- 1. A 3D model you approve
- We model the statue from your artwork, photos or file, and you approve it from every side, with the face at full size for statues of people. Modeling from $300.
- 2. A full-size master
- The approved model is made at full size as a master, 3D printed in sections or CNC-carved in foam, then sanded and detailed by hand.
- 3. A mold from the master
- A mold is taken from the master. It is what makes copies possible, and why each extra statue costs less than the first.
- 4. The fiberglass shell
- Layers of fiberglass and resin are laid into the mold to make a hollow, light, rigid shell. Tall and outdoor statues get a steel frame inside and a base plate for anchoring.
- 5. Paint and clear coat
- Primed and painted to your colors or Pantone references, then sealed with a UV-resistant clear coat for outdoor use. Faux bronze, stone and metallic finishes are painted.
- 6. Crated and delivered
- Crated for freight and shipped anywhere in the U.S., or delivered in New York. Installation and crane work are quoted separately.
03 / FIBERGLASS, FOAM OR 3D PRINTED
Which material
fits your statue?
We build in all three, so the recommendation follows where the piece goes and how long it has to last.
- Fiberglass: outdoors and for years
- Permanent storefront, campus and roadside statues, touring pieces and anything people climb on. The strongest and the longest lead time: 12–16 weeks up to life-size.
- Hard-coated foam: events and fast dates
- Lightest and fastest. Best indoors for activations, sets, windows and booth tops. Life-size foam pieces usually cost $4,000–$8,000 and take 3–4 weeks. Foam sculptures and props ↗
- 3D printed: the faster option
- The same statue printed hollow in sections, joined and painted, with no mold to make: 4–6 weeks instead of months. Life-size usually costs $5,000–$10,000; 12–24 inch pieces $1,500–$3,500. The sharpest detail, and it can be metal plated. Best indoors or under cover. Large-scale 3D printing ↗
04 / BUILT FOR OUTSIDE
What an outdoor statue
needs, priced in.
- Weather and sun
- Fiberglass doesn’t rot or rust. Outdoor statues get UV-resistant paint and a clear coat; in strong sun, plan to touch up or recoat the paint every few years.
- Wind and anchoring
- Tall statues get a steel frame inside and a base plate to bolt to a pad or footing. Tell us the site; engineered anchoring drawings are quoted when a permit or landlord needs them.
- People touching it
- Tell us if people will sit on it, climb it or hug it for photos. We build the shell thicker and the frame stronger where hands and weight go.
- Getting it there
- Large statues ship crated by freight, in sections if they are too big for a truck or a door. Delivery, crane and install are listed in the quote when you need them.

What clients wrote to us.
Our clients rarely leave online reviews, so these are from the emails they sent us after their projects, quoted as written.
“Working against very tight deadlines you absolutely excelled & the bottles you produced were amazing. … Our Client was so impressed with the results that they’re shipping one of the bottles back to the UK to have pride of place in the Reception of their main office!!”

How much does a custom fiberglass statue cost?
At PrintAWorld, a painted custom fiberglass statue 3–4 ft tall costs $4,000–$6,000, a life-size statue (about 6 ft) $8,000–$15,000, and an 8–10 ft statue $18,000–$35,000; 12 ft and taller starts at $40,000. 3D modeling starts at $300. Detail, a likeness of a real person, outdoor engineering and copies change the price; installation and crane work are quoted separately.
How long does a fiberglass statue take?
12–16 weeks for statues up to life-size and 16–20 weeks for 8–10 ft, counted from your approval of the 3D model. If your date is sooner, we can 3D print the statue instead in 4–6 weeks (life-size $5,000–$10,000), or carve it in hard-coated foam in 3–4 weeks.
Can you make a statue of our mascot from a drawing or logo?
Yes. Most mascot statues start from a flat drawing or a character sheet. We model it in 3D, send it for approval from every side, and only then build the statue.
Can a fiberglass statue stay outside, and how long does it last?
Yes. Fiberglass doesn’t rot or rust, and outdoor statues get UV-resistant paint, a clear coat, a steel frame inside and a base plate for anchoring. With the paint touched up or recoated every few years in strong sun, a fiberglass statue lasts outdoors for many years.
Can you make more than one copy?
Yes. The mold is made once, so each extra copy costs less than the first. Ask for the price of the quantity you need with the first quote.
Can you 3D print a statue instead of fiberglass?
Yes, and it’s faster. A 3D printed statue skips the mold: we print it hollow in sections, join it, then sand and paint it, in 4–6 weeks from your approval of the 3D model (6–8 weeks if it’s metal plated). Life-size 3D printed statues usually cost $5,000–$10,000. Choose fiberglass for years in full sun or many copies from one mold.
Fiberglass or bronze?
Fiberglass is lighter, faster and costs far less than cast bronze, and it can be painted to look like bronze, stone or metal. We don’t cast bronze. For smaller pieces we can add a real metal surface with metal plating.
Fiberglass or foam?
Fiberglass for permanent and outdoor statues, touring pieces and anything people climb on. Hard-coated foam for indoor events, sets and fast dates: lighter, faster (3–4 weeks at life-size) and cheaper. We make both.
Do you install statues?
Installation isn’t included unless the quote lists it. Tell us the site, the surface it stands on and the access, and we quote delivery, crane and anchoring with the statue.
Do you ship outside New York?
Yes. Statues are crated and shipped by freight to all 50 states, in sections when they are too big for a truck or a doorway. In New York we deliver.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) naming your company, school or venue.
