To say in one word "Grandeur". They are one of the most premium collectibles money can buy. The detailing and sculpting is one of the very best in the industry mainly because each statue is created carefully, hand-sculpted by a dedicated team who are there from step one to step done.
Most Prime 1 statues are sculpted at massive 1/3 and 1/4 Scales which puts them anywhere between 25 to 50 inches in size depending on the scene and environment they are portraying. So if you want to own one be sure you have a dedicated space for them.
Most Prime 1 statues have multiple versions enabling collectors with multiple choices for owning their favourite statue. Almost every statue has a regular, deluxe or bonus version which offers more than each other. If you prefer minimalism, you can get the regular. If you like more customisation, you can get the deluxe version and if you like to have absolutely everything then the bonus version is the one for you.
One of the most unique features of Prime 1 collectibles are they come loaded with so much accessories that they could almost be mistaken for very premium action figures. All prime 1 statues have multiple switchable arms, legs, head, weapons or effects parts that enables you the collector with an awesome amount of dynamic posing posibilities.

Most collectibles are made of either resin or PVC plastic but Prime 1 statues are made with multiple materials. Prime 1 collectible is sculpted with premium grade polystone and there is a generous use of fabric for costume, die-cast parts for accessories and even materials like rubber and plastic wherever it's necessary. Each statue is given an unique and premium finish which makes them miles ahead of other collectible manufacturers.

The Prime 1 Studio team is made up of well-known, passionate, and dedicated professionals whose efforts and creative genius result in breathtaking representations of iconic pop culture heroes, villains, and scenes.
Prime 1 statues take a lot of effort to make and thus are very limited editions, mostly less than 1000 pieces per product. With passionate collectors waiting eagle eyed to buy them their statues can become you blink and you miss affair.
