Tsume Art

Tsume Art is a Luxembourg-based design studio and manufacturer of officially licensed collectible statues, figurines, board games and pop-culture merchandise. Founded in 2010 by Cyril Marchiol, the company translates characters from Japanese anime, manga, comics and video games into physical collectibles. Its work combines character interpretation, sculptural composition and the development of detailed display pieces for collectors.

The company’s creative capabilities span 2D concept art, digital character sculpting, physical prototyping and master-model painting. Its Luxembourg creative teams develop the designs and approved prototypes, while specialized manufacturing partners in China handle series production. Tsume manages licensing approvals, production oversight and quality control alongside its creative work.

Collectibles and product ranges

Resin statues form a central part of the business. The HQS and Ultra HQS ranges feature large-scale, numbered limited editions, including elaborate dioramas, action poses and integrated lighting. HQS Dioramax places particular emphasis on the surrounding scene and environment.

Other ranges address different scales and display preferences:

• BIJUtsu offers quarter-scale resin statues supplied with an authentication crystal and a traditional Japanese hanging display scroll.
• Ikigai focuses on sixth-scale statues with concentrated compositions and smaller display footprints.
• MUB, or My Ultimate Bust, presents life-size character busts with personalized finishes.
• NEON by Tsume combines figures with self-contained illuminated display boxes that can be stacked.

Tsume also develops pre-painted PVC and ABS figures, extending its offering beyond resin centerpieces. Its licensed subjects include characters from Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Saint Seiya, Bleach and other entertainment properties.

Beyond statuary

The company’s activities extend into tabletop publishing through YOKA by Tsume and licensed fashion through IKI by Tsume. These labels broaden its character-based products into games, apparel and lifestyle merchandise. Commercial distribution combines global direct-to-consumer e-commerce, crowdfunding and pre-orders with wholesale supply to specialist pop-culture retailers, giving the company both direct and retail routes to collectors.
