P1SLBBTIK-01S
Girlhood and the grotesque. Classical and digital. Taiki's painterly expression takes form at 1/5 scale.
"The Legend of Beauty and the Beast" brings Prime 1 Studio together with remarkable talent in pursuit of new heights in sculptural artistry. As the latest addition to the series, illustrator Taiki's original work "Nue" joins the lineup.
Taiki's first solo exhibition, "Taiki Exhibition," featured "reproducible paintings" created by digitally designing even oil-paint-like raised textures and realizing them through print. From this body of work, born from a modernized approach to classical techniques, this statue takes as its motif a piece depicting a girl nestled against a grotesque form. Retaining the ornate beauty and uncanny atmosphere of the original, its intricately rendered details and textures, along with its sense of spatial depth, have been reconstructed at 1/5 scale.
The massive Nue captures an otherworldly beauty in meticulous detail. A simian visage painted in reddish brown. Tiger-like limbs defined by powerful, bulging musculature. Serpentine scales with a sleek, lustrous sheen. Even the back, unseen in the original artwork, has been fully developed in keeping with the work's visual tone. By contrast, the girl is sculpted with an intentionally doll-like approach. Her expression and skin are given a subtly inorganic quality, sharpening the contrast with Nue. The kaleidoscopic eyes shared by both are rendered with intricate patterns and a lifelike, moist sheen, inviting viewers to imagine the connection between them.
The themed base draws inspiration from the patterns and gold ornamentation in the original background. Its weighty design further accentuates the statue's presence.
The Fabric Poster (B2 Variant Size), featuring the original artwork, is a special item exclusive to the Bonus Version. Experience Nue in two art forms: two-dimensional and three-dimensional.
Taiki's painterly expression, realized in three dimensions at 1/5 scale. Bring this piece into your collection.

Preordering allows you to guarantee purchasing a product. Preorders will have an estimated release date, once the item is delivered to us by the manufacturer we will ship your order as soon as possible - please be aware that although we give release estimates given to us by the manufacturers these are subject to change and can mean delays to release by weeks or even months. Release delays can be viewed in the Updates section.
EU and International orders are sent complete once all items (including preorders, backorders and in stock items) are available. Please make separate orders if you would like items shipped at different times.
Please be aware that European and International orders may be subject to customs and import fees depending on the country’s import laws.
Most products that are preorders can either be paid in full or with a partial deposit. For partial deposits you will be charged the deposit amount shown, when the item(s) are available and the order is ready to be shipped we will contact by email with an invoice that will allow you to pay the remaining amount, which will be the price when the order was placed (even if the price has gone up between release we will charge the original 'Pay Now' price at the time of ordering) - we allow up to 6 weeks to pay the remaining balance of a preorder unless agreed otherwise by Hobby Figures. Preorders that are paid fully will be shipped immediately after the item(s) on the order arrive to us.
UK orders that have preorders with different release dates or with items that are currently in stock will be shipped separately as and when they are available. Worldwide orders will be shipped once all items are available
While we fulfil the vast majority of preorders occasionally cancellations for preorder products may occur due to manufacturer product cancellation (such as licensing issues) or due to stock allocations. Full refunds will be provided in the rare case we cannot fulfil item(s).
Cancellations
Products marked as a 'Preorder' are not eligible for refunds or cancellations. As preorders and backorders are a special request item we cannot accept cancellations or returns on these items unless the item is damaged or the wrong product is received, in the case where a deposit has been paid if the customer refuses to pay the remaining balance when the product(s) on the order arrive and are ready to be shipped then the customer will forfeit the deposit paid and product(s) on the order. By preordering an item you accept that the item cannot be returned unless agreed by us, please contact us at contact@hobbyfigures.co.uk if a defective or incorrect item is sent.
