What is GK Statue?
GK is the abbreviation of Garage Kits/ガレージキット usually means the original figures made by the designer. The main material is the resin which material can perfectly present the details. So statues made with this material have become the player’s preference.

When you look at pre-order statues posted on our website, you will always see the options "Deposit" and "Full Payment".
"Deposit" means you ensure that one of the GK statues will be yours when completed at the lowest possible price. We will let you know via whatsapp and email when the statue is nearing completion and you will then receive an invoice for the final payment (full payment - deposit).
*Note* The deposit is also part of the payment during production, no matter you pay the rest or not, the studio will make the statue for you, so the deposit is generally non-refundable.
Deposits are refundable under certain circumstances:
Pre-order quantities that do not meet the minimum production quantity, in which case we will email you a full refund.
Studios take money and disappear, unfortunately for some new studios this rarely happens. But in this case, we will compensate your loss and give you a full refund.
"Full payment" means you pay the statue at full price, i.e. skip paying the rest of the payment process. But when you pay the full amount and later decide not to buy the statue, only the remaining amount (full payment - deposit) will be refunded.
- Full payment is fully refundable under certain circumstances:Pre-order quantities that do not meet the minimum production quantity, in which case we will email you a full refund.
- Studios take money and disappear, unfortunately for some new studios this rarely happens. But in this case, we will compensate your loss and give you a full refund.
★★★TIPS★★★
Full Payment (Super Sale):For some rare statues, it is almost impossible to order again. Clients will commission us to find a stock of these statues (usually products from other collectors that have been displayed but are not damaged);
We will inform customers of the status of the product and provide customers with quotes from the secondary market. Everything depends on the customer's choice. After the product arrives at the warehouse, we will check it for the customer and take photos for confirmation before sending it out!
When you pre-order a statue, all you have to do now is wait for it to be produced and receive a shipping invoice later. After this, you will be given a tracking number and wait for the statue to come to your home.
Why do freight charges have to be paid later?
The prices of products on the website do not include shipping costs. Shipping costs will be assessed based on the box size and weight of the product you order. When your order is placed, the product has not yet arrived at our warehouse, so we are unable to provide you with an accurate shipping cost. But don't worry, I will give you a preliminary estimate of the shipping cost, but it is just a more or less estimate; finally, we will provide you with quotes for multiple shipping methods (including air/land/sea) for you to choose from.
★Special instructions for final payment and freight:
The final payment(Balance) for all products will be collected and submitted by OrzGK on behalf of the studio, and the studio will confirm the validity of the order based on whether the balance payment is made up;
After receiving the notice from the studio to pay the final payment, OrzGK's assistant will immediately contact the customer through various methods such as WhatsApp or email and remind the customer at least three times within 30 days;
If the customer refuses to reply to any message within 30 days, we will regard it as losing contact. OrzGK will retain the right to dispose of this pre-order and will not be able to refund the deposit that has been submitted to the studio!
The freight for all products is paid by OrzGK to the logistics provider on behalf of the customer. Only after the customer selects the transportation channel and pays the freight, can we arrange the corresponding logistics provider for transportation;
After the product arrives at the warehouse, the OrzGK assistant will immediately provide the shipping bill to the customer via WhatsApp or email and remind the customer at least three times within 30 days. The customer should negotiate with the OrzGK assistant about the transportation method and time;
If the customer refuses to reply to any message within 30 days and does not clearly inform OrzGK whether the shipment needs to be delayed, we will regard it as losing contact. OrzGK will retain the right to dispose of this pre-order and will not be able to refund the deposit and balance payment that have been submitted to the studio!
Special instructions for the statue
Statues made of resin and polystone are inherently fragile works of art. Each statue will be custom packaged by the studio before shipment and reinforced by the OrzGK team after arriving at our warehouse to ensure safety as much as possible. However, uncontrollable factors during transportation may still cause minor damage, such as small breaks, fine fractures or surface scratches.
Therefore, we recommend that you consider carefully before placing an order. If you cannot tolerate any potential minor flaws or shipping damage, please order with caution. Of course, if you find problems with the statue after you receive it, please contact our customer service team as soon as possible and provide photos and descriptions. We will contact the studio and will do everything possible to obtain replacement parts (of course, this depends on the studio).
We are always committed to providing customers with high-quality collection services and making every effort to reduce transportation risks. Even if we cannot obtain replacement parts from the studio, we will strive to obtain insurance claims from the transportation company for you. Thank you for your understanding and trust.
