A Luxembourg-based studio renowned for its high-end statues, Tsume Art has dedicated several pieces from its prestigious HQS (High Quality Statues) line to the world of Hokuto no Ken. Imposing resin sculptures, released in limited and numbered editions, that rank among the finest representations of the warriors of Hokuto.
Details
Raoh, King of Hokuto
Tsume’s first foray into the license, unveiled at Tsume Fan Days 2 and released in early 2016, the HQS of Raoh depicts the King of Hokuto atop a promontory, riding his faithful steed Kokuoh rearing up. The sculpture plays on strong color contrasts between golds, bronzes, leathers and fabrics, enhanced by Kokuoh’s dark tones. An imposing piece standing approximately 50 cm tall and weighing nearly 11 kg, made of polystone, it is limited to 1,000 units, delivered with a numbered metal plate and premium packaging.
Rei, the Star of Justice
Unveiled a few years later, in 2019, the HQS of Rei, successor of Nanto Suicho Ken, immortalizes the warrior mid-aerial attack. Tsume pays tribute to his fighting style, which slices opponents bare-handed, by depicting him ready to cleave his enemy. Standing approximately 34.6 cm tall, made of resin and PVC, this piece was designed to complement the Raoh HQS; the two statues together recreate their legendary confrontation. It is limited to 800 units.
The Tsume Signature
Like all of the studio’s HQS pieces, these statues rest on the circular, beveled base characteristic of the brand, ensuring visual consistency for collectors who bring together multiple statues from the line. The Raoh HQS was notably sculpted by Cyril Farudja, painted by William Hémery, and supervised by Cyril Marchiol. With their precise sculpting and meticulous finishes, Tsume Art’s Hokuto no Ken HQS statues stand as benchmarks for enthusiasts of premium collectibles dedicated to the license.
