Torrida Minis UK: Fan-Art Display Statues from 54mm to 150mm

Few designers in our catalogue approach display-scale figure work with the focus that Torrida Minis UK does. The studio releases roughly one new model each week, building a catalogue of individually sculpted fan-art figures across three scale tiers: 54mm, 75mm, and 150mm. Every piece is designed for the display painter rather than the gamer filling a movement tray. We stock the full range at TabletopXtra, printed in high-resolution resin, ready to prime and paint.

Who Are Torrida Minis?

Torrida Minis is a specialist sculpting studio focused almost entirely on character statues. While many designers in our lineup produce armies, warbands and encounter sets, Torrida takes a different approach: each release is a single, elaborate figure created as a standalone display piece. The range draws inspiration from fantasy archetypes, horror classics, anime and pop-culture characters, rendered as fan-art miniatures with the surface complexity that serious display painters want.

The catalogue has grown steadily to over 50 individual sculpts, covering warrior women, sorceresses, historical-inspired figures, gothic horror characters and more. Many models come in both a standard (SFW) version and an alternate variant, giving painters a choice of style. All ship from us as unpainted resin, a blank canvas for the brush.

You can browse the full range on the Torrida Minis MyMiniFactory profile, and we carry their complete UK selection right here at TabletopXtra. Already familiar with the studio and want to jump straight in? Head to our Torrida Minis collection.

Torrida Minis UK Scale Options: 54mm, 75mm and 150mm Explained

Scale choice is one of the defining features of the Torrida range. Understanding what each tier offers before you order will save you from picking up the wrong size for your current skill level and painting goals.

54mm is the entry point into proper display work. These are noticeably larger than a standard 28mm gaming miniature, close to twice the height, which means more room for detail, more surface area for blending and highlighting, and more opportunity to push your painting skills. At £12.99 per figure, the 54mm tier is where most painters start with Torrida, and it remains a popular choice even for experienced hobbyists who want a quicker project.

75mm is the collector's sweet spot. This is the scale that professional display painters and competition entrants gravitate towards, because it offers a genuine balance between a manageable figure size and enough room to execute serious techniques. OSL (object source lighting), smooth NMM (non-metallic metal), complex skin tones, freehand tattoos and fine brocade patterns all become achievable at this size. Most Torrida sculpts at 75mm are priced at £22.99, with a handful of more complex sculpts sitting slightly higher.

150mm is centrepiece territory. At roughly six inches tall, a 150mm Torrida statue becomes a significant painting project and a genuine showpiece for a display cabinet. Prices range from £49.99 to around £64.99 depending on sculpt complexity. If you've never painted at this scale before, work through a 75mm figure first to get a feel for how the larger format changes your brush control and time investment.

Standout Models in the Torrida Minis UK Range

With over 50 sculpts in the catalogue, picking a starting point can feel daunting. Here are a few figures that showcase what Torrida does best:

Bride of Frankenstein is a gothic horror homage that lands particularly well for October painting projects. The sculpt carries all the hallmarks of the classic Universal monster aesthetic: the iconic streaked hair, the flowing shroud, that unmistakeable silhouette, translated into a beautifully detailed resin figure. Available at 54mm (£12.99), 75mm (£22.99) and 150mm (£49.99), with a standard and NSFW variant at the smaller scales.

Nefertiti takes historical inspiration into fantasy territory. The sculpt features elaborate Egyptian headdress work, layered jewellery and fine linen draping: exactly the kind of intricate surface detail that rewards careful brush technique. Available at 54mm (£12.99), 75mm (£22.99) and 150mm (£57.99).

Evil Lyn is a fan-art take on the classic fantasy villain archetype, a sorceress in full ceremonial armour with a stern, authoritative pose that reads well at all three scales. At 150mm (£62.99) this becomes a premium project piece. Available from £12.99 at 54mm.

Yellow Sorceress leans into high fantasy, with flowing robes, arcane detail and a dynamic spellcasting pose that gives painters plenty to work with in terms of power-effect glow and fabric texture. Available from £12.99 (54mm).

Sister of Purity is one for fans of grimdark aesthetics, a religious warrior figure with armour and vestment detailing that sits naturally alongside Trench Crusade warbands if you want a thematic display piece alongside your tabletop forces. Available at 54mm (from £12.99) in Normal and Bikini costume variants.

The newest addition to the range is Fighter Poison, a dynamic combat pose with strong surface detail across the costume and a clean, expressive face sculpt. Available at 54mm and 75mm in both standard and NSFW variants.

Torrida Minis as a Painting Project: What to Expect

Display-scale statues are a different kind of hobby experience from painting gaming miniatures. With a 28mm wargame piece, you're often aiming for a "3-foot effect", something that looks good on the table at arm's length. With a Torrida Minis figure at 75mm or above, the painting is meant to be examined up close, which changes how you approach every stage of the process.

Primer preparation matters more at this scale. Resin models benefit from a thorough wash in warm soapy water, a light sand of any print lines, and a solid coat of spray primer before you pick up a brush. Our guide to prepping and priming 3D-printed resin minis covers the workflow in detail.

For the painting itself, display-scale work rewards wet-blending, glazing and careful feathering more than the drybrushing and quick washes that work well at gaming scale. The larger surface areas let you build up genuinely smooth gradients. The fine detail on Torrida's sculpts, the texture in fabric, the ring and buckle work, the careful facial anatomy, gives you plenty of focal points to develop.

The 54mm models make excellent intermediate projects for painters who've been working at 28mm and want to try something larger. The jump to 75mm from there is noticeable but not overwhelming. The 150mm sculpts are a commitment, but for a piece to enter into a painting competition or anchor a display cabinet, they're hard to beat at the price.

How Torrida Minis Fits Into Your Collection

Torrida Minis UK figures don't replace your gaming miniatures. They sit alongside them as display pieces. If you're building out a themed painting shelf, a Torrida statue can anchor a display that includes smaller gaming pieces from studios like Artisan Guild, Galaad or Across the Realms, creating a visual hierarchy from 28mm player characters up to a statement centrepiece.

For hobbyists who focus purely on painting rather than gaming, the Torrida range offers a consistent drip of new projects to work through, with enough variation in theme and character type to keep things fresh week to week. The fan-art approach means many of the figures carry a real emotional connection: it's easy to pick up a sculpt because you know the character archetype it references, which makes the whole painting process that bit more enjoyable.

We also featured Torrida alongside Gaz Minis and Ronin Arts Workshop in our pin-up miniatures UK spotlight if you want to compare the three studios and see how they differ in approach and style.
