Infinite Statue/Kaustik Plastik Maestro 1/6 scale line

[Rzeznikk]

Excited to see this. I hope the stands are better than the Inart ones, but then that wouldn't be hard would it.

Their stands are already better than InArts

It depends on price but I have a feeling this is gonna be Inart prices. Conan silicone body, rooted hair, moveable eyes...

I still have no idea what a Luxury packaging means beyond more $$$$. I just want a normal sculpted hair so I won't have to style my action figures bangs.

Definitely will be Artisan/Inart Prices here. Maybe even more.

If KP is going to take this next step forward then they’re really going to need to improve their paint a few notches. They’ve been better with their recent Hammer Dracula releases but still not at the HT level or even Sideshow. Glad to hear about these plans though!

At around $600, they better step up their weak paint apps.

Dario announced he is overseeing production and paint on the Conan for sure. And his custom Conans are some of the best in the hobby. I'm sure they will be looking very closely at this line.

Introducing "MAESTRO" : A New Era of Luxury in Collectibles

We are thrilled to unveil "Maestro", our exclusive line of 1/6 scale luxury action figures, crafted with unparalleled artistry and precision. Each figure in the "Maestro" line is meticulously handmade, an exquisite blend of craftsmanship and passion for the ultimate collector.

Our slogan, "Experience the art of handcrafted 1/6 action figures" , perfectly encapsulates the essence of this premium collection, designed for true enthusiasts who value quality and detail above all.

In the coming days, we will reveal the first three iconic licenses that will be part of the "Maestro" lineup. Be sure to follow our social channels for these exciting announcements!

Starting Monday, join us on social media and be among the first to discover the surprises we have in store for our devoted collectors.

Prepare to experience the next level of action figure collecting with "Maestro", where art and craftsmanship meet.

I have been in contact with Kaustik Plastik and they have shared some details. Can you add this to the beginning of the thread as my thread was removed due to there already being one on this topic.

Details from Kaustic Plastik

First preview of the figures will be at the 2025 San Diego Comic Con

1) Silicone bodies.
No we will not use Tbleague bodies (they are not even silicone but soft rubber, there is a big difference between medical grade silicone and soft rubber) We will make brand new bodies for Conan and The Crow too (the Crow version will be with a naked thorax). The body quality will be similar to the latest hot toys wolverine.

2) The sculpts of Labyrinth and The Crow will be made by Beastmaster (Edward Peretti). Conan sculpt by Inigo Gil. We think both of them are the best we have in Europe.

3) The 'standard' stand will be magnetic but improved and not with a sticker but with sculpted ground. This is our luxury line. So the stand will be luxury as well.

4) For the moment (but this can change) only Jareth is planned for Labyrinth.

The paint application for the Maestro line will be similar to that of InArts.
Our problem was not with the skill, but the lower number we previously produced on our other lines.
Some collectors maybe do not appreciate just how many pieces are produced by HT and InArt, we are talking about huge companies with massive profits and with thousands of pieces produced, so they can then have much bigger budgets to spend on better skilled workers to apply the better paint applications.

Conan, The Crow and Labyrinth are licenses like no other we have had before, so with bigger production quantities we can finally now provide the even better and more real paint applications they deserve.
The limit in this business is only the budget, and that budget is decided from the quantities produced.
If you only make 700 pcs it's then hard to compete with companies that makes run of 10k pieces (or more)

So only Jareth from Labyrinth. Not having Sarah is a bit of a bummer.

 

[Rotfish]

Can't wait for Conan, but if they're using seamless bodies, will we be able to hit proper sword-wielding poses without weird folds in the elbows? Will it be safe to keep them bent at all?

Fingers crossed they make a Thulsa Doom to go along with him. In a response to a Facebook comment, KP said he's on their wishlist.




I wouldn't mind seeing this guy in the future either...

I'd also throw whatever money they want for this as well.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

What are we thinking the prices will be for these? Because Conan and Labyrinth are a serious weakness for me and my wallet is currently feeling small and insignificant atm.

 

[Buttmunch]

Sounds good improvements are coming. Their current figures are already around $300 before smh luxuries are added so these will very likely be $500 or more for even their base offerings of these figures unless the volume pricing really helps balance out the costs.

I hear you can live with only one Kidney, is that right?

Love this. I had a beautiful statue of the Lord Of Darkness

 

[lordnastrond]

Jesus, the hobby is getting exciting... but too expensive.
Whats the point of all these pretty figures if I can only admire them from afar!

 

[Luisenigma1]

Whatever the cost if it's decently $350-400 range then better for us. People paid $450 for HT iron man for years and now InArt being about the same to $500 for premium. Of course if they put it up at SS payment plan helps a lot. I definitely want Conan so I'll put the money out for him, Warpaint, Battle of the Mounds, final scene whatever I'll take it.

Does their stuff ever end up on Sideshow? I'm not real farmilur with the company.

Not typically their exclusive versions, although they did once, which tend to have essential pieces.

Hopefully Kit will carry them, then.

SDCC 2025 for just a preview is a looong way away.

SDCC 2025 for just a preview is a looong way away.

Yeah I wonder when we can realistically
expect to PO these, and when they’ll release.

I can’t wait till Q4 2026 to 2027 for Draven, that would be an exhausting wait. I’ve skipped all of the garbage that came before, this figure needs proper rooted hair, not InArt hair. I also skipped Edward Scissorhands until he was finally made with rooted hair.

Now we just need Dutch and we've got a full Arnold renaissance
