VtuberLab

When we first introduced Phygital in June, it was still in that exciting “what if?” stage, a bold idea that could bridge your digital avatar with something you can hold in your hands. At the time, we hinted that change was coming. Now, we can finally tell you: the wait is over.

Phygital has been officially live on Kickstarter since August 12, 2025.

This is the moment VTubers get to be first in line for something the industry hasn’t seen before: a fully custom, stream-ready 3D avatar and a high-quality 3D-printed figurine of the same model, bundled together at a disruptive price.

A Partner That’s Invested in VTubers

Since that first article, Phygital has done more than prepare for launch; they’ve stepped directly into our community. We’re proud to announce that Phygital is now the official sponsored partner for VTuberLab’s “Creator Spotlight” interview series.

This partnership isn’t just about branding. It’s about giving VTubers more visibility, more professional tools, and opportunities to grow. Every creator we feature gets a bigger platform, and now, a direct connection to a technology that could completely redefine their streaming identity.

What’s New Since We Last Talked?

Since our initial introduction, Phygital has made major strides behind the scenes:

• The process is polished and streamlined. You send a selfie, sketch, or concept, and the team handles everything, from creating your 3D avatar to delivering a stunning 3D-printed figurine.
• You unlock your digital twin instantly by scanning a QR code that comes with your collectible.
• Flexibility is built in: Whether you want an anime-inspired character, a fantasy elf, a stylized pet, pixel art style, or a realistic model, Phygital supports all these looks and more.
• Broad platform compatibility: Your avatar works with VTubing software like VSeeFace, Luppet, and Animaze, and also integrates into virtual worlds and games like VRChat, IMVU, Second Life, Skyrim, GTA V, Sims, Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, and others.
• Trusted by the best: The team behind Phygital includes My3DSelfie, with over a decade of experience and 2,000+ five-star reviews from customers across 70+ countries, and 3DAiLY, a cutting-edge 3D modeling platform recognized by Google and partnered with major global brands like Marvel Studios, Sony, Hermes, McDonald’s, Harvard, NBC, and Motorola.
• Optional AAA-quality upgrades will be available after launch for creators looking to use their avatar in cinematic projects, music videos, trailers, or sponsorship promos, perfect for those wanting the highest detail beyond streaming.

How Does Phygital Work?

Phygital was designed to be creator-friendly, removing the technical headaches that usually come with custom avatars and 3D printing.

Here’s the simple three-step process:

1. Upload your vision: Whether it’s a selfie, a character sketch, or just an idea, you submit it when you place your order.
2. Get your avatar + figurine: A team of expert 3D artists builds your fully rigged digital avatar and crafts a high-quality collectible figurine, complete with a unique QR code.
3. Unlock your digital twin: Scan the QR code included with your figurine to download your avatar, ready to use in streaming software, virtual worlds, or game engines.

No technical knowledge needed, no fiddling with file formats, it’s plug-and-play.

Why Should VTubers Care?

If you’re like most VTubers, you’ve probably faced the frustrating trade-offs: paying a fortune for a custom avatar or settling for something premade that doesn’t quite fit your brand.

Phygital breaks that mold by offering:

• Dual presence — your character exists both digitally on stream and physically in the real world.
• Access to premium quality without premium prices — early VIP pricing starts at $399–$499 on Kickstarter, compared to typical $2,000+ commissions.
• A chance to stand out — be among the first VTubers to leverage physical collectibles as part of your brand and fan engagement.

Plus, as the official sponsored partner of VTuberLab’s Creator Spotlight interviews, Phygital is committed to supporting VTubers, giving creators like you both the tools and visibility to grow.

How Phygital Supports VTuber Growth & Fan Engagement?

Phygital goes beyond a digital avatar by giving VTubers a physical presence to deepen fan connections. For example, the ability to stream unboxings of your custom figurine creates authentic, shareable moments that boost community engagement. Additionally, limited-edition collectibles open new revenue streams through memberships or Patreon perks. Moreover, physical merch enhances brand visibility at conventions and events, helping creators stand out in a crowded market. This tangible link between creator and audience strengthens loyalty and expands monetization opportunities, advantages that traditional avatars simply can’t provide. Phygital is a strategic tool for serious VTubers looking to grow and engage sustainably.

What Can You Do With Your Phygital Avatar?

Beyond just owning a cool collectible and avatar, Phygital opens doors for creators to innovate:

• Use your avatar in popular VTubing platforms and virtual worlds without conversion headaches.
• Stream unboxing your figurine to hype your community.
• Offer signed or limited edition collectibles as Patreon or membership perks.
• Bring your brand to conventions or fan meetups with a tangible mascot that embodies your persona.
• Collaborate with fellow creators on crossover collectible drops.

The possibilities are only limited by your creativity.

What Makes Phygital Different from Other Avatar Solutions?

Let’s be honest: the typical path for VTubers has been a tough trade-off, either pay thousands for a custom avatar that might come with restrictive licenses or settle for a premade model that doesn’t fully represent you.

Phygital breaks this mold by combining the best of both worlds, premium, fully rigged 3D avatars and high-quality physical collectibles, all at a price solo creators can afford.
