Grandista is Banpresto’s big, bold statue line built for fans who want maximum character presence without diving into fragile high-end territory. These figures are all about scale, impact, and hero shots, taking iconic characters and presenting them in confident, commanding poses that feel larger than life. When a Grandista hits the shelf, it immediately reads as a centerpiece.

The sculpting philosophy leans realistic within anime proportions, with sharp facial features, strong anatomy, and clean costume detail. Figures are non-articulated and noticeably larger than standard Banpresto releases, which allows for deeper muscle definition, more expressive faces, and a weighty silhouette. Poses are usually grounded and powerful rather than acrobatic, giving the character a calm, dominant presence that feels iconic and timeless.

Within Banpresto’s ecosystem, Grandista occupies the “hero statue” lane. It complements high-motion lines like Vibration Stars by slowing things down and letting the character simply exist at full strength. For collectors, Grandista is about presence over action, a bold visual anchor that makes a display feel intentional and complete.
