Garage kits – resin kits

Garage kits and resin kits occupy a unique place within the world of Japanese figures. Presented as unassembled kits to be built and painted, they directly involve the collector in the creative process, extending the sculptor’s work through assembly and finishing.

Often produced in small batches by independent studios or skilled sculptors, resin kits embody an artisanal and experimental approach to figure making. They offer a high degree of creative freedom, both in surface treatment and color choices, and reflect a form of craftsmanship that sits at the intersection of sculpture, model making, and contemporary art.

This subcategory brings together garage kits and resin kits selected from my personal collection, along with research and reference points to better understand their production context, artistic value, and distinctive place within Japanese figure culture. A space designed for those who wish to discover, learn, and share around the art of resin kits, approaching collecting as an active, creative, and deeply human experience.
