Phygital Is Real: And VTubers Are Not Ready for What’s Coming

Discover Phygital: The Future of VTuber Avatars

Written by:

VTubers Have Always Lived Digitally, But That’s About to Change Forever. Not long ago, we dropped a quiet hint about something new. A quick tease about VTuber avatars becoming “real.” Some of you noticed. Most thought it was just another gimmick.

But here’s the truth: That moment wasn’t a teaser. It was a sign of a bigger shift. One that’s happening now.

It’s called Phygital, a mashup of Physical + Digital. And it’s not a trend. It’s a transformation. Imagine owning a fully custom, full-body premium 3D VTuber avatar that’s stream-ready and having that same character as a high-quality, 3D-printed figurine on your desk connected by an uniqiue QR code.  That’s Phygital. And if you’re a creator in the VTubing space, this is the evolution you didn’t know you needed.

Phygital is currently a Kickstarter project, launching soon. While the exact launch date has not been announced yet, the momentum is already building.

What Does Phygital Mean for VTubers?

If you’re hearing the word “Phygital” for the first time, don’t worry, you’re not alone. It’s a new term that blends Physical + Digital, and it’s quietly reshaping how creators think about their identity. For VTubers, Phygital means something incredibly powerful: your character doesn’t just live inside your OBS window or VRM file anymore. Now, it can exist as a real object in your world, fully custom, fully yours, and fully usable, available at a disruptive price.

With the Phygital model, you get:

🎮 A stream-ready, fully custom, premium 3D avatar, rigged and compatible with VSeeFace, Luppet, Animaze, and more.

🧱 A premium 3D-printed figurine of that exact avatar, made for your shelf, studio, or fans.
✨ Full commercial rights, without needing to pay thousands or understand 3D modeling.
🚫 No technical hurdles, just send your idea and get both worlds delivered.

This isn’t merch. It’s not fan art. It’s you, your OC, your persona, your identity, turned into something physical, while still being 100% digital-native.

Here’s what that looks like at a glance:

✅ A custom-built avatar you can use in VSeeFace, Luppet, Animaze, VRChat, and more.

✅ A real-world collectible that looks just like your digital self.

✅ Full commercial rights (which is rare, even with $2000+ models).

✅ No technical knowledge required, Phygital handles everything for you

So instead of choosing between digital identity or physical presence… You get both. For VTubers, this isn’t just a novelty; it’s the next logical step in how we connect with our brand, our audience, and ourselves.

Why Most VTubers Settle and Why You Shouldn’t?

Let’s be honest: most VTubers compromise.

You buy a premade model from a catalog that dozens of others already use.  You spend $2,000+ on a custom commission and still need to hunt down a rigger. You delay upgrading because it feels too technical, too expensive, or just out of reach.

But why settle when something better exists? Phygital changes the game, no advanced setup, no generic designs, no high barrier to entry.  You don’t need tech skills. You don’t need a studio budget. You just need a vision.

How Phygital Works from Start to Finish, No 3D Skills Needed

Here’s the best part: Phygital isn’t just for tech pros or veteran VTubers with massive budgets. It’s designed for everyone, including indie creators.

The process is extremely creator-friendly:

✔️ Step-by-Step Breakdown:

  1. Send Your Vision: Upload a selfie, a sketch, or even a description. Whether you want a realistic version of yourself, an anime elf, a pixel pet, or a stylized chibi, you send the idea, and they take it from there.
  2. They Build It for You: A team of 3D modeling experts (we’re talking 25,000+ artists worldwide) creates a fully rigged 3D avatar plus a 3D-printed collectible that looks exactly like your design.
  3. You Get Both: You receive a high-quality physical figurine delivered to your doorstep, and a fully custom, full-body premium digital avatar ready to use in all major VTubing software and virtual worlds, all at a truly disruptive price.

No fiddling with formats. No need to find separate riggers. It’s plug-and-play. You dream about it. They build it. You own it.

Why Phygital Is Different from Other VTuber Avatar Options?

Let’s face it, most VTubers have two choices when it comes to avatars:

  1. Spend thousands commissioning a fully custom model from a freelance artist (and still not always get commercial rights).
  2. Buy a premade avatar from a marketplace or catalog that looks like dozens of others and may not fully reflect your unique brand.

Neither of those paths offer the full freedom you deserve, and definitely not a high-quality figurine you can hold in your hand. Phygital changes all of that. It flips the industry standard and gives creators something VTubing has been missing: ownership, identity, and tangibility.

Here’s a quick comparison to show how Phygital stacks up against traditional custom VTuber models:

Feature-by-Feature Comparison: Phygital vs Traditional Models

FeaturePhygitalTraditional Custom Model
Stream-Ready 3D Avatar✅ Included✅ Sometimes included
Fully Rigged✅ Yes, ready out of the box✅ Usually, but may need tweaks
Physical Figurine✅ Included in every order❌ Not available
Commercial Rights✅ Full usage rights—sell, gift, stream❌ Often restricted or require extra fee
Cost💰 Disruptively affordable for early VIPs💰 $2,000–$7,000 typical range
Style Options🎨 Anime, fantasy, realism, pets, pixel art🎨 Depends heavily on artist style
Tech Skills Needed❌ None—just your concept⚠️ Often need to format or prep files

What does this mean for you?

  • You’re not paying extra just to use your own character commercially.
  • You’re not waiting 3+ months and praying the final rig “just works”.
  • You’re not stuck in one design style or rigging format.
  • You get both worlds: a real figurine + a digital twin you can use anywhere.
  • You keep full control, no weird licensing, no restrictions.

This is more than an avatar. It’s a statement piece. Built by creators who get it. Designed for VTubers who want more than just screen presence.

Here’s Why Phygital Is a Perfect Fit for VTubers, Streamers, and Gamers

You might be wondering: is this really for me? Let’s break it down by creator type:

For VTubers and Streamers:

  • A fully custom and premium 3D avatar rigged for VSeeFace, Luppet, Animaze, and more.
  • One-of-a-kind branding that blends physical + digital presence.
  • New ways to connect with your audience and build loyalty.
  • Launch your own custom figurines, stream props, or collab collectibles.

For Gamers and Virtual World Users:

  • Import your character into VRChat, IMVU, Second Life, Meta Horizon, etc.
  • Use your avatar in game mods, VR spaces, and 3D experiences
  • Finally play as the version of yourself you actually imagined

For Cosplayers, Collectors, and Fans:

  • Bring your dream character or persona to life in physical form
  • Display your VTuber evolution as a growing figurine collection
  • Gift your OC or virtual self to a friend or partner.

No matter what kind of creator you are, Phygital gives you a complete identity toolkit, for real-world connection and online creativity.

This Could Be Your Most Memorable VTuber Move Yet

We all love the upgrades, flashy overlays, slick transitions, new lore arcs, voice changers. But let’s be real: most of those fade with the next trend. Very few things deepen your connection with your character.

Phygital isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a milestone. It’s your avatar brought to life. A fully custom, fully rigged 3D model that’s not just stream-ready. It’s shelf-ready. Tangible. Personal. Permanent. It’s your brand in your hands. It’s your identity made real. It’s that “wow” moment for your fans, the thing they remember long after your stream ends.

Most VTubers haven’t even thought this far ahead. But you? You’re reading this now. You’ve got the chance to be first. And trust us, when this becomes the new normal, being early will matter.

Be One of the First VTubers to Cross the Phygital Divide

This isn’t just another VTuber upgrade; it’s a breakthrough. Phygital is here, and it’s still flying under the radar. If you move now, you won’t just get a fully custom, full-body premium avatar and collectible, you’ll become part of the first wave shaping the future of digital identity. Imagine your character, fully realized both on stream and in your hands. This is your story, your brand, your world, brought to life in a way no VTuber tool ever has. Most are still catching up. You? You could be leading the shift.

    Okay, this is wild. I have been VTubing for almost two years and never thought about having a physical version of my avatar.

    Didn’t expect the VIP price to be this low. Getting both a 3D avatar and a figure for around $399 is kind of wild; usually, that much only covers the model.

      Right? Just the rigged model alone usually costs way more.

    I love that they’re giving commercial rights by default. Most riggers charge more just for that.

    Bookmarking this for when the Kickstarter drops. Not sure I can afford it yet, but it’s one of the few things I have seen that feels worth saving up for.

    If this works like it says, no rigging issues, no tech barriers, and a real figure on top, it is a total game changer for indies like me.

    VTubing has always been about virtual presence, seeing it cross into the physical world like this is definitely something new.
