Farmer Rooster Character Set RC-R13
Birds dressed as farmers, complete with aprons, rakes and vegetable baskets. Character costume gives a set a story, and a story is what makes a gift buyer pick one set over another at the same price.

Product Overview
Props are moulded as part of the body rather than as separate attached pieces, which is the only way a rake or basket survives handling at this scale.
Gift retail, agricultural brand promotions and New Year corporate sets. It is produced in the same soft moulding process as the rest of the zodiac sign range, in Yiwu, Zhejiang, China.
Key Benefits
- Colour moulded through the body, so the artwork on RC-R13 cannot rub off with handling
- Pantone matched, so a reorder in eighteen months sits next to the original without a visible shift
- Tooling retained here between orders, so a repeat run skips development entirely
- Trial quantities accepted below the 5,000 pcs MOQ so you can prove sell-through first
Application Scenarios
- Lunar New Year retail gift sets and hamper inserts
- Corporate New Year keepsakes for staff and clients
- Bank and telecom customer giveaways in Asian markets
- Restaurant and hospitality seasonal promotions
Problems It Solves
Zodiac programmes fail on calendar arithmetic. Artwork gets approved in November, tooling starts in December, and the container misses the holiday by two weeks. The stock is then dead for a full cycle.
- A deadline that cannot move. Working back from a New Year date, artwork approved with roughly ten weeks to spare clears sampling, tooling, production and sea freight.
- Sets, not singles. Four-piece sets raise the basket value on a gift purchase without four times the tooling, because the pieces share one mould plate.
- Folk styles that travel. Flower-pattern hens, farmyard characters and the Barcelos rooster all read as the same animal to different markets.

How It Is Made
Artwork becomes a mould drawing, the drawing becomes an aluminium tool, colour is laid into the cavities one colour at a time, and heat cures the whole part into a single soft body. The fixing, a magnet recess, a ring eyelet or a strap anchor, is designed into the body rather than added afterwards.
Finished parts are checked against the approved reference sample held here, not against a photograph or a colour description.
Customisation Options
| Change | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Colour change | Production setup change on the existing mould. The cheapest option available. |
| Lettering or place name | Cut into the mould, so a new wording needs a new tool. Artwork carries over. |
| Logo added | Placed on a clear field in the design and shown at actual size on the drawing before tooling. |
| Size change | New tool. Tell us the target size at drawing stage so detail can be checked against it. |
| Packing | Bulk bags, polybags or blister cards printed here with your artwork and barcode. |

Use Guide
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. The surface is closed, so it does not absorb dirt the way a porous material would. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight in shop windows where possible.
Some stainless steel and aluminium clad appliance doors are not magnetic at all. In markets where those are common, a line on the packaging saves customer complaints.
Questions About This Product
Can the props be changed to match our industry?
Yes. Swapping a rake for a tool that fits your business is a common request. It needs a new mould, and the character construction carries over so the drawing work is quicker.
Can this design be produced in our own colours?
Yes. A colour change on an existing mould such as RC-R13 is a production setup change rather than new tooling, which makes it the cheapest customisation available. Supply Pantone references rather than colour names.
Can our logo or a place name be added?
Lettering and logos are cut into the mould, so a new wording means a new tool. The artwork and construction carry over, which makes the drawing work faster than starting from nothing.
What is the minimum order for this design?
5,000 pcs per design, with lower quantities accepted for trial orders. Production runs 10 to 15 days at MOQ once the sample is approved.
Rooster Year Zodiac Collection
Build a collection deep enough to fill a seasonal display without tooling eighteen separate moulds, and structure it so a buyer can hit several price points from the same programme.
MOQ Lead Times and Planning a Season
Seasonal buyers miss dates for the same reason every year: they count forward from today instead of backwards from the shelf date.
Choosing Magnet Strength and Backing
A souvenir magnet that slides down a fridge door or drops off in the bag is a returned product, and both failures come from the same two decisions.
Seasonal and Holiday Retail
Seasonal buying is a calendar problem before it is a product problem. The range is decided months before the shelf date and there is no second chance if it slips.
