Iron Studios – Collector-Grade Statues for Serious Display Cases
Some figures are meant to be played with. Iron Studios pieces are meant to be admired, rotated slowly under good lighting, and occasionally shown off to visitors who didn't ask. Founded in 2012, this Brazilian manufacturer has built a following among collectors who treat their shelves like curated galleries. The craftsmanship justifies the approach — these aren't impulse purchases, they're centrepieces.

Frequently asked questions
What material are Iron Studios statues made from?
Most Iron Studios pieces use polystone, a dense resin compound that holds fine detail well and provides substantial weight. Some editions incorporate PVC elements for certain accessories or base components. The hand-painted finish is applied over the polystone surface.
What do the scale numbers mean?
Scale indicates size relative to the character's fictional height. A 1:10 scale statue of a 180cm character stands approximately 18cm tall. Common Iron Studios scales include 1:10 for standard display pieces and 1:4 for larger premium statues. Smaller scales save space; larger scales show more detail.
Are Iron Studios figures limited editions?
Many Iron Studios releases are produced in limited quantities, though the specific edition size varies by product line and license. Some pieces include numbered certificates or exclusive variants. Once a production run sells through, restocks are uncommon for most limited releases.
Assortment overview
The Iron Studios collection at Elbenwald divides into two main browsing paths. The characters category lets you search by the figure's subject — whether you're completing a team lineup or seeking one particular favourite. The scale figures category organises by size format, helpful when display space dictates your choices or when you prefer consistency across your collection's proportions.
What goes well with this?
A quality statue deserves a quality stage. Consider dedicated display cases with lighting — nothing sells a hand-painted finish like proper illumination. Dusting supplies matter more than you'd think; microfibre cloths and soft brushes protect that paintwork during maintenance. And if you're deep enough into collecting that you're reading this section, you probably already know: one Iron Studios piece rarely stays alone for long.
