Retail and GK statues
One design for everyone
A studio chooses the character, pose and base, then casts an edition for many collectors. When it sells out, that version is the only one that exists.
ANIME RESIN STATUES · ONE OF ONE
Custom anime resin statues, made one of one.
The statue you wanted was never released, or it only exists in a pose you do not love. Commission it instead: your character, your moment, your scale and base, sculpted and hand-painted for your collection with Charles Luminary. No production run and no copies. One statue, made for you.

A statue, not a production run
Retail resin and garage-kit statues are sculpted once, then cast and painted in batches. A commission starts from your brief instead.
A commission
One design for you
You choose the character, the moment, the expression and the scene. The sculpt, base and paint are agreed with you, and the finished statue is the only one.
What collectors commission
Bring the piece your shelf is missing. A statue commission is built for these requests.
Unreleased
A character or form no studio made
A side character, a manga-only form, an arc outfit or an original character, sculpted as a full display statue.
Scale
Matched to your collection
Plan the statue around a 1/6 or 1/4 shelf. The proposal turns the scale into measured finished dimensions, base included.
Scene
A base that tells the story
Rubble, water, foliage, a rooftop or an energy effect: the base is designed together with the pose, not added afterward.
Finish
Painted by hand
Skin, fabric, metal, glow and shadow are painted by hand. For a statue you already own, see collector figure finishing.
Completed work
Finished anime and manga commissions, with their studio credits.

How a statue commission works
You approve the design before anything is produced, and you see the work as it progresses.
01
Send the character and the moment
Name the character and describe the pose, scene or scale you want. References can follow after Charles replies.
02
Agree the design and scope
Pose, dimensions, base, effects, finish, approval checkpoints and shipping are set in a private proposal. For a digitally sculpted statue, you review the sculpt renders before fabrication.
03
Sculpt, build and paint
The statue is produced, assembled and painted by hand, with progress photos along the way.
04
Crated and insured to your door
The finished statue is packed in protective crating and sent by insured express courier worldwide.
Original sculpts only
Every commission is an original sculpt for one collector. Luminary Studios does not recast, copy or duplicate manufactured statues or garage kits. Read recast vs. commission to learn how to tell them apart.
Common questions
Answers to what collectors ask before commissioning a statue.
Can you make a character or pose no studio has released?
Yes. That is the main reason to commission a statue. Send the character, the moment or pose you want, and any references; the design is agreed with you before production.
Can it match the scale of the statues I already own?
Yes. Send the measured height of a statue on the same shelf and say whether it includes the base. The proposal fixes the finished dimensions, so a 1/6 or 1/4 scale label becomes real measurements.
Do you copy or recast existing statues?
No. Every commission is an original sculpt made for one collector. Luminary Studios does not recast, copy or duplicate manufactured statues or garage kits.
Can the statue include lighting or effects?
Effects such as energy, flames or a scenic base can be scoped in the proposal. The Urek Mazino commission used LED lighting by 3Ready Prototyping Lab with painting by Luminary Studios.
How long does an anime statue commission take?
A typical commission takes around two to three months. Size, base and effects work, likeness and revision rounds affect the schedule; the proposal confirms it.
