Collectible figures by Star Ace Toys

Hong Kong origins and the X PLUS connection

Established in Hong Kong in 2013, Star Ace Toys Limited is a subsidiary of Japan's X PLUS Company Limited. It manufactures and distributes licensed collectibles inspired by film, television, comics and popular culture. Its development team brings together sculptors, model makers, painters and costume specialists.

Character figures in 1/6 and 1/8 scale

My Favourite Movie has brought properties including Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and Batman Ninja into Star Ace's 1/6-scale catalogue. Its Alastor Mad-Eye Moody figure illustrates the range's approach, combining an articulated body with a character-specific costume, interchangeable hands, accessories and a hand-painted head sculpt.

The company's 1/6-scale range history also includes My Favourite Legend, with subjects such as Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. Real Master has presented characters from Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings at 1/8 scale. Its Aragorn figure combines articulation with a costume and interchangeable hands in this smaller format.

Art Gallery, Super Vinyl and Defo-Real

Art Gallery has offered 1/4-scale statues of screen personalities. The Audrey Hepburn statue portrays Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's, combining polyresin with a fabric dress and stole, separate jewellery and a display base.

Super Vinyl has featured subjects from Kong: Skull Island and the Planet of the Apes films. Materials vary by release: Caesar 2.0, for example, combines soft vinyl and polyresin, with a diorama base supplied in its deluxe version.

Defo-Real, also listed as Deform Real in the catalogue, takes a stylised approach. The Kong 2.0 Octopus diorama uses an oversized head and a sculpted action scene, depicting Kong wrestling with an octopus in soft vinyl.

Ray Harryhausen creature replicas

Star Ace has produced official replicas of Ray Harryhausen's creatures, including Cyclops, Allosaurus and Ymir. The range was created to honour Harryhausen's centenary, adding these creature designs to the manufacturer's film-related collectibles.

Wonders of the Wild

Wonders of the Wild extends the catalogue beyond screen characters to prehistoric animals. Subjects include Tyrannosaurus rex, Spinosaurus and Smilodon, alongside fossil-replica collectibles. The Smilodon polyresin statue was sculpted by Sean Cooper and depicts the animal on a rocky display base.
