Best-Selling Resin Figure Kits: Choose Your Next Build

A best-selling list is a useful starting point for choosing a resin figure kit. The next decision is personal: which character, painting project and finished display do you actually want to spend time with?

This guide is for painters and collectors choosing an unpainted kit. Three things matter before you follow the order of a list: the work you want to do, the space you have, and the preparation included with your selected finish. A popular figure can still be the wrong next project for your desk.

Remerlinds produces resin 3D-printed figure kits in the Netherlands. Below, five kits from the catalogue's best-selling order provide a practical shortlist, followed by a way to compare them without treating sales position as a quality award.

How this best-selling selection was made

The five featured kits are the first five unique listings shown in the complete catalogue with Best selling selected on 11 October 2026. They appear below in that same order. This is a dated catalogue snapshot, not a claim about the five highest-rated products or a ranking limited to sales this year.

The selection is Tony Chopper, Edward Elric, Solaire, Illidan Stormrage and Sauron, all in their Nomnom Figures versions. Keep the sculptor attached to the name when comparing listings. Another version of a character can have a different pose, scale and assembly plan.

The catalogue order can change. Use the current best-selling catalogue to see the live order, then open the individual listing for its available options. This guide does not publish sales totals or infer how many people bought a particular finish.

Popularity helps narrow the browse. It does not establish a kit's difficulty, guarantee an easy build, or explain why every buyer chose it. The comparisons here therefore focus on the listing's visible features and the decisions they raise for your own project.

Start with the part of the hobby you want to enjoy

Choose a project around work you want to do repeatedly. A character you enjoy looking at is a good beginning; a figure whose surfaces and pose invite the painting you want to practise is a stronger one.

Write down one main aim before opening several product tabs. It might be a clear chibi expression, a bold coat colour, a convincing armoured finish or a broad wing surface. That aim gives you a useful question to ask of each sculpt instead of comparing every possible feature at once.

Then decide how much assembly belongs in this project. Look at the parts images and the position of the limbs, accessories and base. Consider where you would hold the model and which areas you would prefer to paint separately. A compact character is not automatically a one-piece build, and a large figure is not automatically the wrong first project.

If you are buying a gift, make the same distinction for the recipient. An unpainted kit is a creative project, so choose for someone who wants to build and paint. A painted product image can suggest a finished colour scheme; it should not be read as the finish included in an ordinary kit order.

A useful shortlist has two candidates you would genuinely like to work on. Put your reason beside each name: one for the character, one for the painting task. If the only reason left is its position in a sales list, keep browsing before committing.

Check the display space before comparing scale labels

Measure the place where the completed figure will live. Height, width and depth all matter, especially when the pose includes spread wings, an extended weapon or a base that reaches beyond the character's feet.

The listings illustrate why a scale fraction alone is not a shelf measurement. Edward Elric is listed at 1/8 scale and 18.4 cm, while Illidan Stormrage is listed at 1/10 scale and 30.0 cm. Those are the listed heights for these particular designs, not a conversion rule for other figures.

Use a piece of paper to mark your available footprint and leave room to lift the finished work. If your display has a door or an overhanging shelf, check the opening as well as the interior. A figure that fits once installed can still be awkward to move through a narrow opening.

Read the dimensions for the exact version you intend to order. Do not estimate width from a front-facing photograph or assume a chibi label supplies a fixed height. For Tony Chopper, confirm the dimensions on the current listing or ask before ordering if space is tight; this guide does not assign an unverified measurement.

The same exercise helps plan your desk. Keep enough working space for separated parts and a supported base, then consider where those parts will rest between sessions. You can make that decision before buying paints or reorganising a whole shelf.

Key takeaways

• Compare the exact listing, including its sculptor and version.
• Measure the available height, width and depth.
• Ask for any missing dimension before choosing a tight display space.

Choose Bronze, Silver or Gold for the work you want to keep

The finish level changes the preparation supplied with the kit. It does not change an unpainted figure into a completed painted collectible. Choose the level alongside the character, because both decisions shape what you do after delivery.

Bronze includes removed supports, washing, curing and quality checking. You handle sanding, filling and primer. Choose it when that preparation is part of the project you want to own, rather than treating the lower starting price as the only difference.

Silver adds work on support marks and visible holes. You still plan assembly, assess the seams created by joining parts, and apply primer before painting. It is useful when you want help with the printed surface while keeping the primer and colour sequence in your own hands.

Gold adds further preparation and primer in the offered colour. You still assemble and paint the kit. Inspect the parts and plan the build before starting the decorative colours; a primed surface does not decide which components you need to keep separate for access.

Compare the same finish on both shortlisted products. A Bronze price beside a Gold price combines two different choices and makes the comparison harder to interpret. Open each listing, select the intended finish, and use the current total and production estimate shown there.

Delivered Remerlinds kits are already washed and cured. There is no routine washing or extra UV-curing stage to add to your shopping plan. If the condition of a delivered part worries you, contact Remerlinds with photographs before attempting a correction.

Five kits to compare from the best-selling catalogue

These five listings offer different starting points for a painting project. The sequence follows the catalogue snapshot described above; the notes explain what to inspect and plan, rather than awarding a winner for beginners, value or overall quality.

1. Tony Chopper: a character-led chibi project

The Tony Chopper chibi by Nomnom Figures brings One Piece into the shortlist through a stylised character design. The listing presents an unpainted 3D-printed kit, with the hat and expression providing clear subjects for your colour plan.

Consider it if the face and a recognisable colour arrangement are the parts you want to concentrate on. Start your plan with the hat, fur and expression as separate tasks, then decide how much detail you want the finished piece to show from its normal viewing distance.

Do not translate chibi into effortless. Look through the supplied images for the exact parts and the areas around the face. Confirm the size if your display space is limited, and choose the finish level according to the preparation you want to perform yourself.

2. Edward Elric: a bold coat and contrasting details

The Edward Elric figure kit by Nomnom Figures is listed as a 1/8 scale Fullmetal Alchemist figure, 18.4 cm tall. Its red-coat colour scheme, darker clothing and metallic accents offer a clear starting point for organising the paintwork.

Consider this version if you want to work on a strong main colour while keeping smaller details subordinate to it. Before choosing paints, decide whether the coat or the face should attract attention first. That decision is more useful than trying every technique on the same figure.

Check the coat's relationship to the arms and body in the listing images. Plan how you would reach the areas behind overlapping parts, and keep a record of your main colour mixture if you expect to work across several sessions.

3. Solaire: armour, travel gear and a central emblem

The Solaire figure kit by Nomnom Figures appears in the catalogue as Solaire of Astoria from Dark Souls. The listing gives 1/8 scale and a height of 18.9 cm. Armour, travel gear and the sun emblem give you several distinct surfaces to consider.

Choose this project for the combination of a knightly silhouette and a focal design on the clothing. You could plan a restrained armoured finish and give the emblem more attention, or make the surrounding surfaces more weathered while keeping the central design readable.

Those are possible painting directions, not supplied finishes or tested recipes. Inspect the exact sculpt before planning the smallest marks. If the emblem is the reason you chose the kit, leave time for that area rather than spending the entire project on incidental detail.

4. Illidan Stormrage: plan around the full silhouette

The Illidan Stormrage figure kit by Nomnom Figures is listed at 1/10 scale and 30.0 cm tall. Wings and twin blades make the outer shape an important part of both the display decision and the build plan.

Consider it when you want a project with several major visual regions to organise. Decide how the wings, body, weapons and base will relate before adding small accents. Keep the intended viewing angle beside your colour notes so the separate parts contribute to one finished composition.

Check width and depth as carefully as height. Before ordering for a cabinet, establish the space needed for the complete pose. Before assembly, rehearse the joining order and the support you will use while working. A large silhouette deserves a plan beyond the space directly beneath its base.

5. Sauron: an armoured display figure

The Sauron figure kit by Nomnom Figures is listed as a 1/10 scale Lord of the Rings figure, 25.5 cm tall. Its armoured design suits a project centred on separating plates, edges and darker areas within a limited colour plan.

Consider it if you want the surface treatment to carry much of the finished effect. Choose your intended metallic or painted-metal approach before covering the entire figure, and use a separate sample to judge how the colours and final sheen work together.

Study the silhouette and projecting details in the listing before choosing a display position. Leave room around the finished piece so you can handle its support and move it without reaching through delicate areas. Select Bronze, Silver or Gold for the preparation you want, not as a substitute for planning that access.

Turn the shortlist into a fair comparison

Compare your final two choices on the same basis. Use the exact sculptor version, your intended finish level and the full display requirements. Then add the practical costs and timing shown for your order.

Decision	What to record	Why it helps
Character and sculpt	Name, sculptor and exact listing	Keeps different versions from being treated as identical
Display fit	Listed dimensions and any missing measurement	Tests the finished pose against the available space
Preparation	Bronze, Silver or Gold	Shows which surface work you are choosing to do
Project aim	One painting or assembly focus	Connects the purchase to work you want to enjoy
Order planning	Current total and production estimate	Uses the selected options instead of a stale article price

Keep production and delivery separate in your calendar. Use the information shown for your selected kit and destination, then leave your own assembly and painting time after arrival. Avoid choosing a more involved project solely because its advertised production estimate fits a deadline.

If one important detail remains uncertain, use the contact page with the product link and a precise question. A measurement, a finish clarification or confirmation of a particular part is easier to answer than a general request for the best kit.

Key takeaways

• Use sales order to discover candidates, then compare your actual needs.
• Keep the finish level consistent when comparing prices.
• Resolve the one missing detail that could change your choice.
