Prime 1 Studio
Some statues decorate a shelf. Others reorganise the room around them. Prime 1 Studio, established in Tokyo in 2012, builds the second kind. The Japanese studio specialises in large-scale polystone statues, most often at 1/4 scale, combining sharp sculptural detail with painterly finishes and elaborate themed bases. Its work has become a benchmark for high-end statue collecting across comics, film, games and anime. Every statue in this range is an officially licensed Prime 1 Studio piece.
Collector's Guide
Product Lines
Premium Masterline is the studio's flagship line of 1/4 scale statues, pairing museum-grade sculpts with dramatic bases that root each character in their world. The Ultimate Premium Masterline tier sits above it as the enhanced grade of the studio's 1/4 scale output, reserved for the most ambitious releases in complexity and presentation.
Both tiers appear in this range. The Batman The Berserker Rage Mode Ultimate Premium Masterline statue, produced under DC licence in its DX Bonus Version, reaches up to about 95 cm in its tallest configuration, a genuine centrepiece by any standard. Alongside it stand two Premium Masterline statues from Evangelion Thrice Upon a Time, presenting Asuka and Rei at 46 cm each with the studio's characteristic finish.
Why Collectors Rate Them
Polystone is central to the appeal. Its weight lends stability and permanence, while its density holds crisp edges that softer materials blur. On that foundation the studio layers hand-applied paintwork covering everything from armour weathering to skin tones. Bases are sculpted as miniature dioramas in their own right, turning each statue into a complete scene. DX editions add alternative parts, so a single piece supports more than one display configuration. Collectors also rate the consistency: a Prime 1 Studio shelf reads as a unified gallery even when the licences span genres and continents.

FAQs
What are Prime 1 Studio statues made from?
Primarily polystone, a resin and stone compound valued for its weight, stability and ability to hold fine sculpted detail. Some releases incorporate additional materials.
How large is a 1/4 scale Prime 1 Studio statue?
Substantial. The Evangelion pieces in this range stand 46 cm, while the Batman Berserker reaches up to about 95 cm in its tallest configuration, so measure your display space first.
What is the difference between Premium Masterline and Ultimate Premium Masterline?
Premium Masterline is the studio's flagship 1/4 scale line. Ultimate Premium Masterline is the enhanced grade of that line, reserved for its most ambitious builds and presentations.
What does DX Bonus Version mean?
DX editions include additional parts that unlock alternative display configurations, which is why the height of the Batman Berserker varies with how it is displayed.
