Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our premium collectible statues.

What is Resin Realms?

Resin Realms is a premium retailer of high-quality collectible statues, specializing in 1/4 scale pieces. We offer licensed statues from popular franchises, custom creations, and one-of-a-kind pieces for collectors and enthusiasts.

What does the scale of a statue mean?

Scale refers to the size of the statue relative to the actual character or subject. For example, a 1/4 scale statue means it's one-fourth the size of the actual character. This creates a consistent sizing across collections and allows collectors to understand the dimensions before purchasing.

What materials are your statues made from?

Most of our statues are crafted from high-quality polystone resin, which allows for incredible detail and durability. Some pieces may also incorporate other materials like PVC, metal parts, fabric elements, or LED lighting for enhanced visual appeal.

How do I place an order?

To place an order, browse our collection and click on the statue you're interested in. Use the "Inquire" button to submit your information, and our team will contact you with availability and payment details. For many pieces, we offer payment plans to make collecting more accessible.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship our collectibles worldwide. International shipping costs are calculated based on the destination country, package dimensions, and weight. Please note that customers are responsible for any import taxes, customs duties, or additional fees imposed by their country.

How are Licensed statues packaged for shipping?

Licensed statues are meticulously packaged to ensure their safe arrival. Each piece is securely nestled in protective foam and comes in a beautifully designed art box, which is then placed inside a sturdy brown shipping box, unless otherwise specified.

How are Fan Art statues packaged for shipping?

Fan Art statues are typically packed in black foam, sometimes in an art box and an outer shipping box to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

How are Fan Art One of a Kind statues packaged for shipping?

Each one-of-a-kind Fan Art statue is carefully bubble wrapped and magnetized for safety during transit, allowing you to pull it apart and build it at home.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer flexible payment plans on most statues. Typical plans range from 3 to 12 monthly payments with no interest charges. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your statue. Contact us for specific payment plan options for the piece you're interested in.

What does "Edition Size" mean?

Edition Size refers to the total number of pieces that will be produced for a particular statue. For example, an edition size of 300 means only 300 units will ever be made, making it a limited edition collectible. Once sold out, these statues are often only available on the secondary market.

What's the difference between Licensed, Custom, and OOAK statues?

Licensed: These are officially authorized pieces from intellectual property owners (movies, games, comics). They undergo approval processes to ensure accuracy.
Fan Art: These are original designs created by artists without official licensing. They may be inspired by characters but with unique artistic interpretations.
Fan Art OOAK (One Of A Kind): These are unique pieces with only one ever made, often featuring exceptional detailing and craftsmanship.

How are the statues painted?

Each statue is meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans or in a factory setting. While the hand-painted nature means that no two pieces are identical, this uniqueness adds to their charm and character. Although they may not be flawless, they are crafted to look stunning. For specific details, please refer to the provided reference photos, and feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have.

What are Fan Art Statues?

Fan Art statues are unique collectibles created by independent artists, inspired by popular characters from movies, games, and comics. Unlike licensed pieces, these statues are not officially authorized but showcase the artist's creative interpretation and craftsmanship.

How are Fan Art Statues Created?

The process of creating Fan Art statues involves several stages, including concept design, sculpting, molding, and painting. Artists begin with sketches to visualize their ideas, followed by sculpting the statue using digital tools like ZBrush. In this process, artists create a 3D model on the computer, allowing for intricate detailing and adjustments in real-time. Once the digital sculpture is finalized, it is 3D printed or used to create molds that cast the pieces in resin, which are then hand-painted to achieve the desired finish.

Where do you get Fan Art Statues?

Our Fan Art statues are sourced exclusively from third-party vendors. We do not manufacture any products ourselves.

What are Fan Art Statues made of?

Fan Art statues are primarily made from high-quality resin, a durable and versatile material that allows for intricate detailing and vibrant finishes. Resin is a synthetic compound that can be molded into various shapes, making it ideal for capturing the fine details of artistic designs. The statues are often cast in multiple layers to achieve depth and texture, and they are typically hand-painted to enhance their visual appeal.

How should I clean my statue?

For regular dusting, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a clean makeup brush for difficult-to-reach areas. Avoid using chemical cleaners, water, or abrasive materials as these can damage the paint and finish. For stubborn dirt, a very slightly dampened cloth may be used, but ensure no moisture remains on the statue.

What's the best way to display my collectibles?

Display your statues away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity areas, as these factors can cause fading, warping, or deterioration. We recommend using glass display cases to protect from dust and accidental damage. For heavier pieces, ensure shelving is properly reinforced to support the weight.

Can broken parts be repaired?

Minor damages can often be repaired with specialized adhesives designed for resin. For significant damage or repairs requiring painting, we recommend contacting professional restoration services. If your statue arrives damaged, please contact us immediately with photos for warranty or replacement options.
