Another classic from the 90s manga/anime is joining Tsumes catalogue:Ranma 1/2.

Meet Ranma and Genma, back at Jusenkyos cursed springs to train once more. The setup is a tribute to the leading moment when Saotomes familys fate changed forever. Quite a tragedy! Standing amid the hot springs haze, father and son are facing each other, standing on one foot, balancing on a bamboo stick. Looking decided, Ranma is about to evade his stupid fathers attack while Genma as a panda is as committed to teaching his ingrate son all the secrets of Saotomes martial arts school.

Very aerial, this statue as Jusenkyos springs are is more than meet the eye. Characters posing and quite simple design require the 3D interpretation and the sculpture to be flawless. Takahashi Rumikos style is quite remarkable and the biggest challenge was succeeding into sculpting a face which is true to her drawings in every angle. The painting is also great: Black and Whites Genma is contrasting with a very colourful Ranma whos wearing his iconic outfit.

Last but not least, the base features the mangas original Japanese logo and depicts the famous cursed springs. The overall is still quite reasonable in size but visually very appealing. Water is made with transparent resin, just as the clouds which add to the feeling of lightness of the whole statue.
