Tsume
Tsume is a Luxembourg studio that turns landmark anime moments into museum-scale resin statues. Founded in 2010, it built its reputation on the HQS range, short for High Quality Statue: limited-edition, individually numbered pieces that are hand-painted and take hundreds of hours to develop. Rather than posing a single character, Tsume sculpts whole scenes, capturing clashes and turning points exactly as fans remember them. This collection focuses on Dragon Ball Z, one of the studio's flagship licences.
Collector's Guide
Product Lines
The centrepiece is Gohan vs Buu, an HQS statue at 1/6 scale standing around 69 cm tall, limited to 1,400 numbered pieces. It freezes one of the saga's defining confrontations, Gohan with his full potential unlocked facing the menacing Super Buu, complete with translucent resin effects that render his aura in three dimensions. Alongside it sits the HQS Dioramax 1/6 Trunks' Time Machine, a diorama built around one of Akira Toriyama's most beloved designs, the capsule craft that carries Trunks between timelines. Dioramax is Tsume's line for exactly this kind of piece, where the setting and the machine matter as much as the character.
Why Collectors Rate Them
Resin statues occupy the top tier of anime collecting and Tsume's work shows why. Sculpting is dynamic rather than static, with figures caught mid-motion and compositions that read like a frame of the animation. Hand-applied paintwork gives each piece depth that factory finishes rarely match and numbered edition plates make every statue a genuinely limited object. These are collectibles bought as centrepieces: one Tsume statue can anchor an entire display cabinet.
