Our Story
Obsessive about detail, made by hand
Resin 8 Studios is a South African studio with two sides: Resin 8 Models — high-end resin figures of the characters fans truly love — and Resin 8 Apparel, streetwear cut from the same obsession. We're collectors building for collectors.
We started Resin 8 Studios for one simple reason: the figures we wanted didn't exist, were impossible to get in South Africa, or cost a fortune to import. So we learned to make them ourselves — and fell in love with the craft.
Every figure begins as a high-resolution 3D print, then becomes a labour of love: cleaned, assembled, primed, airbrushed and detailed entirely by hand. We don't mass-produce. Each piece is built to order, which means the quality is personal — and so is the service.
Whether it's a shonen hero mid-battle, a brooding vigilante, or a completely custom commission of your own design, our goal is the same: a figure you'll be proud to put front-and-centre on your shelf.
And because the obsession doesn't stop at the display shelf, Resin 8 Apparel carries the same identity into streetwear — tees, hoodies and headwear for collectors, including fully custom apparel made to your design.

The Craft
How we make it
Figures and garments each get their own hands-on process — built in the same studio, to the same standard.
Sculpt & 3D print
We source or sculpt a high-detail model and 3D print it in premium resin at high resolution.
Clean & assemble
Each part is cleaned, cured, sanded and hand-assembled — the unglamorous work that makes the finish flawless.
Hand paint
Layer by layer, the figure is primed, airbrushed and detailed by hand until it truly comes alive.
Seal, base & ship
We seal, mount on a custom base, quality-check and package it safely for delivery anywhere in the world.
Design & mock-up
Original studio artwork — or your fully custom design — is laid out and mocked up on the garment.
Premium blanks
We use heavyweight tees, hoodies and headwear that hold their shape and colour, wash after wash.
Print & embroider
Each piece is printed or embroidered one at a time — the same care we give a figure's paintwork.
QC, pack & ship
Quality-checked, folded and packed properly, then shipped from South Africa to anywhere on Earth.
