Shipping weight is the piece, its inner packing and the studio’s outer shipper together, as our distributor states it — not the weight of the statue alone.
Halidom’s note
Sam Tar Black, Prime 1 Studio’s Death Stranding bust at 1/3 scale. It stands 44 cm tall including the base, which makes it a centrepiece: one to a shelf. Pieces this size in polystone can exceed the load rating of standard glass shelves, so confirm both the assembled weight and the shelf’s rating before display; where the net weight is unconfirmed, use a suitably rated solid surface or plinth. Our scale guide has the cabinet measurements.
This piece is still at pre-order: our distributor is taking orders for it, and it comes to us once the studio has produced it. The studio’s current expectation is Q3 2027, last checked on 14 October 2026. Studio dates on pieces at this stage do slip, which is why we show the history rather than hide it.
Reserving it costs a £42.70 deposit against £426.99, or 5% off for paying in full up front; the balance is asked for only once the piece is with us and has passed our inspection. The deposit is non-refundable; because the piece costs more than £100, paying any part of it by credit card may bring Section 75 protection. Delivery to mainland UK is included and, because we import it, there is no duty or courier VAT bill at the door.
Prime 1 Studio, in Tokyo, works mostly at 1/4 and 1/3 in polystone, and its larger pieces are the heaviest things we sell — multi-box deliveries need two people on the day.

Description
"The swaying Dollman, the rising tar.
Sam's new journey captured in a conceptual bust.
From visionary game creator Hideo Kojima and his team at Kojima Productions comes "DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH." From this new masterpiece, Prime 1 Studio presents a bust of Sam Porter Bridges.
Building upon the visual fidelity of the original "DEATH STRANDING," this 1/3 scale bust captures the breathtaking realism of the sequel with uncompromising dedication. Sculpted with the full extent of Prime 1 Studio's craftsmanship, it combines Sam's loyal companion, the Dollman, with a surge of jet-black tar, resulting in a concept-driven piece that embodies the story's essence.
His gentle expression and rugged equipment have each been reproduced with meticulous attention to texture. The oppressive dark tones accentuate the sharpness of every detail. The figure of Sam, precariously supported while holding the swaying Dollman, symbolizes the game's central theme of "connection." Though unstable, the bond remains - inviting you to project your own feelings onto the piece.
Elevated through the motif of "Tar Black," this bust of Sam stands as a collection piece dedicated to every player who has journeyed alongside him. "
Care
Polystone and resin are heavy and brittle rather than flexible. Dust with a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, keep the piece out of direct sunlight to protect the paintwork, and never use solvents or household cleaners on painted surfaces. Lift it by the base, never by a limb, weapon or cape, and take off any separate parts before moving it.
Delivery
Delivery to mainland UK is included on every reservation, whatever the price of the piece: there is no delivery charge at checkout and nothing added when the balance is settled. Most pieces ship with UPS on a tracked, signed-for service, double-boxed in the studio's own shipper; the largest travel palletised or by two-person courier, with a delivery day arranged with you. Once the balance is settled, dispatch follows within a few working days and you will have the tracking number as soon as the label is printed. Or collect it free from the Loaded Dice shop at 28 Holton Road, Barry CF63 4HD: tell us when you reserve or before the balance is requested, and we will email you when it is ready. We do not currently deliver to Northern Ireland or outside the United Kingdom.
Reservations & payment
Most pieces here are reserved ahead of production and sold by reservation, not held in stock. Pieces marked as available from UK stock, or as incoming, are reserved from an allocation that already exists and follow the same terms. Reserve with a 10% deposit and pay the balance only when the statue is physically with us and ready to ship — not on an estimated date — or pay in full now and save 5%. If a release slips we say so, on the release tracker and by email. The deposit is non-refundable: if you cancel we retain 10% of the price — for a deposit reservation that is your deposit; if you paid in full, 10% is retained and the balance returned. If we cannot supply a piece you have reserved, we refund everything you have paid in full.
