We are Wackelwelt
A small workshop with great passion. We transform your photos into unique, handcrafted bobbleheads – with love for detail and a smile on our faces.
Our Story
It all started in 2020 with a simple idea: Why isn't there a workshop in Germany that creates truly high-quality, personalized bobbleheads from photos? Not industrial, not from abroad – but with real craftsmanship and personal care.
Founded by Melanie Garmanzky, Wackelwelt has grown from a small idea into an established workshop that has served over 900 satisfied customers. Every single figure goes through a multi-step process: from photo briefing to digital preview to hand-painted completion.
What makes us special? We're not a faceless company. You can call us, send a WhatsApp message, or even come by in person to pick up your figure. We stand behind every single unique piece with our name.
Our Values
Passion
We craft every figure with the same enthusiasm as our first. We love what we do.
Quality
Premium polymer clay, hand-painted by experienced artists. No mass production, only unique pieces.
Trust
Trusted Shops certified, secure payment methods and personal customer service via WhatsApp & email.
Personality
We're not an anonymous factory. Real people stand behind every order, caring for your gift.
The Backoffice Team
Even we were immortalized as bobbleheads in our workshop – always here for you!
