YES!! i work for a company that has factories in china that accomplish all this for me. i create the concepts and the 3D specs for each design.
i suggest you sculpt out your design or find a sculptor who can accomplish this for you and get the mold over to a vinyl factory.
you can get in touch with these factories in any of the Toy shows thru-out the world.. they will be there with many other manufacturers and vendors.
i suggest you purchase many books on vinyl and soft vinyl designing and production and just the history of the toys.
since you are here in NYC goto Kinokuniya Bookstore [goto 2nd floor in the back, there is a section on Toy design and Vinyl History just past the Photography section.]
also a MUST - ZAKKA CORP [located in DUMBO BK] 1 block off the water http://www.zakkacorp.com/ get as much references from there as possible.
also a good venue for you to check out would be DC Direct [since they have office here in nYC] also many other soft vinyl and other toys vendors are here in nyc for you.
also contact me direct for any questions.
best of luck!!
