Create a custom air traffic controller bobblehead from your photo as a personalized gift for an ATC professional, aviation colleague or air traffic control graduate. Each figurine is handmade in polymer clay using reference photos for the face, hairstyle, outfit and pose.
Personalized air traffic controller figurine
Upload a clear front-facing face photo and additional views where useful. Provide separate references for the clothing, headset or workstation-inspired details you want represented. Small technical details may need to be simplified at miniature scale.
Customize the ATC design
- Face, hairstyle, facial hair and glasses from your photos.
- Work clothing or uniform based on supplied references.
- Available standing or aviation-inspired poses.
- Requested headset, workstation or aviation details subject to scale, feasibility and any additional charge.
Handmade with colored polymer clay
The figurine is sculpted by hand using colored polymer clay. Clay colors are mixed to match skin tone, hair, clothing and other visible details rather than painting the entire finished figurine afterward.
Air traffic controller gifts for career milestones
A personalized ATC bobblehead can celebrate graduation, certification, promotion, transfer, retirement, birthday or workplace appreciation. It can also make a distinctive desk keepsake for an aviation professional.
Photos to prepare
- Clear front-facing face photo.
- Side view where useful for hairstyle or profile.
- Work outfit reference.
- Reference photos for important aviation or workstation details.
- Pose reference if you want a particular arrangement.

Choose hairstyles, outfits, poses, accessories and base text. Provide reference photos and explain the details that matter most. Props and complex requests can cost extra. Check the order summary; when a prop is selected, its holding pose takes priority over a separate pose selection.

Over time, our collection grew beyond just couple gifts — but the name stuck. Because at the heart of it all, it still comes down to a couple of things: thoughtfulness and joy.
