HQB by Tsume

Hello everyone ! !

Thank you again for attending this second TSUME LIVE on Thursday ! The whole team gave it’s best shot and we hope that you enjoyed the LIVE despite the few hiccups with the lag. We’ll try to improve it before the next LIVE.

The replay not being available, I’m going to go back on the main points that were talked about during the LIVE.

Tsume’s contest and the winner José

Cyril, Muhammet and José talked about the recent contest on Facebook and explained the reasons behind it (The company’s expansion, the need to back up Patrick with the 3D cuts).

News about the recent events attended

Cyril, Laura and Cédric S. did a quick recap of the Festival des Jeux à Cannes and Senyu, as well as the success of “NARUTO SHIPPUDEN the boardgame” developped by YOKA by Tsume that is going to be adapted in English, with other languages on the way. Laura mentionned the new Berserk T-shirts by IKI by Tsume that were shown at the Grand Rex recently.

Presentation of Tsume Entertainment

Cyril and Victor unveiled the new branch Tsume Entertainment, and their first production : “Tokyo vu par un con” (Tokyo seen by an idiot) presented by Dédo. This new branch is aimed to get closer to the public and develop new concepts with a fun approach.

Tsume Fan Days

It’s official, the TSUME FAN DAYS 4 will take place at the Casino of Mondorf les Bains from the 10 to the 11 september 2016 (from the 9 september at night for the All Inclusive) !

The All Inclusive option will include two nights ( 9 and 10 september). The bus will leave from Amiens, Nice, Orléans and Paris.

This year we are expecting between 600 to 700 people. There will be no exclusive figure to avoid last year’s speculation.

The two Cedrics talked about the current production and the future moral contract our partnershops will have to sign in order to protect their clients and themselves.

Nico Robin

It was time to start the main event:the release of Nico Robin !

Patrick, Cyril F., Mika and Guillaume talked about their feelings about the statue and the technical difficulty it represented.

For the sculpture, the wings and the aerial pose were the main difficulties. For the paint, the realistic aspect of the character and the work on the shade and light were the most important parts.

The statue comes with two faces : one with open eyes, one with closed eyes.
