Anime really influenced me in a lot of way and that includes collecting figures. Despite we have pandemic, figure collection was still a thing and the toy community was keep getting bigger and bigger here in the Philippines even influencer’s start to collect figures right now. I have seen a lot of famous influencer’s getting resin’s collection from themselves and included them in blogging that’s why a lot of people attract to collect too. Resin figures was one of the expensive merchandises you could ever have and collecting figures of it was not that easy unless you have a lot of money, you still have a choice if you want cheaper you can go with bootleg figures that is made of PVC or invest in quality figures that was made in Resin. As of today, there’s a lot of resin release of different anime and a lot of studio’s was just beginning now in this industry but if you want trusted and quality resin’s here the studio for you, I will share a list of recommended studios that brought awesome resin figures for you to have.
DREAM STUDIO
Dream Studio was one of the studios that brought licensed figures of Monster Trio that become hype last 2020. The quality of figures they release was superb and highly recommended, the details from the face, body and base of every figure that manufactured of this studio was in high quality, every penny that will spend on this figure are totally worth it. The figures that they released were all of the same height and scale, its height range from 37 cm / 15 inches the scale of it was included in 1/5 scale. For the price of figures, it would range from 16,000 pesos up to 20,000 pesos and if you convert it in US Dollars it is 330 - 415 US Dollars. As of the moment the figures that they released was only few, the Monster Trio above was one good example of figures they created but we can expect more.
TSUME
TSUME was one of the famous manufacturers of Resin in Europe, it also one of the resin studios I first discovered and definitely one of the best. Their creation was display in different conventions and they are known worldwide. As I mentioned earlier, they were one of the best resin studios out there and you can see it from their creation, “PERFECTION”, that’s the only word I can say from the figures they created. Tsume not just focus on one anime, they created Resin figures from best anime series that we have watched and known unlike Dream Studio that only focus on One Piece. Tsume Resin figures have different scales from 1/8 to 1/1 Scale they have a lot to offer to you. Let’s talk about their prices since it was based on Europe the currency for it was in Euro and normally the price of the cheapest resin figures was 60 Euro up to 3000 Euro which if it is converted to peso it would cost 3,500 up to 175,000 pesos. It is really expensive that’s why I am enjoying myself watching influencer’s unboxing figures from this studio.
LAST SLEEP STUDIO
Last Sleep Studio was one of the talk in toy community as of the moment since they released the image of the their latest creation “Luffy On The Throne” see image above. The toy community shook and amazed on this figure, look how cool and awesome was it, all of the enemies that encountered by Luffy were included in this figure. Last Sleep Studio was also the same as Tsume that not just focus on one anime but created different resin figures from different animes. The scale of its figures was from 1/8 up to 1/4 Scale which was not that bad and good for display. The price of every figures was of course still expensive since it is made from resin, the price range for figures starts at 600 US Dollars to 1200 US Dollars. A lot of collector’s made pre order on the latest creation and can’t wait to see unboxing of it from another collector.
These three studios were the currently known studios that I have seen a lot in toy community but there are others that making a name for themselves and starting to have a name. These popular studios already made a mark on toy industry and we can expect more a lot from them, can’t wait to have mine soon but as of now the statues that I have was only KO since I cannot afford one yet. Well, that’s it for today hope you had an idea and gain knowledge from what I’ve share with you guys, so are you ready to have your first resin?
