What Tsume Art does

Tsume Art is a Luxembourg-based art firm founded in 2010 (legal entity: Tsume SA, RCS Luxembourg B 151925) that designs, develops, and sells high-end collectible statues, figurines, and board games under official entertainment licenses. Its product portfolio spans premium resin statue lines (HQS, ULTRA HQS, HQS Dioramax, HQS+, IKIGAI, BIJUtsu, MUB busts, Life Size) at scales from 1/4 to 1/1, PVC/ABS figurine lines (SC at 1/12, XTRA at 1/8-1/10, HQF at 1/6-1/8, NEON at 1/9 with LED), display cases (ENZAN), apparel (IKI), and board games (YOKA). All production operates under a 'Design made in Luxembourg' label using a hybrid digital/traditional process that combines 3D sculpting and 3D printing with traditional craftsmanship, with every product subject to validation and approval by the rights holders.

The company serves global collectors of anime, manga, cinema, and video game pop culture, holding official licensing agreements with Toei Animation (Dragon Ball Z), DC Comics (Batman), Warner Bros (Harry Potter), and the rights holders behind Naruto, One Piece, My Hero Academia, Saint Seiya, Bleach, One Punch Man, Sailor Moon, Captain Tsubasa, and Fairy Tail. The primary business model is direct-to-consumer via the company's e-commerce platform (www.tsume-art.com), supplemented by a physical flagship showroom in Paris (Tsume Store Paris by Mangastory, 13 bis boulevard Voltaire, 75011) and a convention/salon circuit, with global shipping via specialized carriers and warehousing in Europe and Asia. Tsume uses a pre-order model with 10% non-refundable deposits (arrhes) and installment payment options for higher-priced items, while stock items and mystery Black Box products are sold on simpler pay-as-you-go terms. The firm also operates a small B2B channel for licensed merchandise retailers under minimum order quantity terms, and accepts payments via PayPal, Powens payment initiation, and credit/debit cards. The company has 1-10 employees, has been operating for 14+ years, and is recognized in its materials as a European pioneer and one of the world leaders in the field of high-end licensed collectible statues.
