Studio Everart shipped its first piece, H.P. Lovecraft: The Forbidden Edition, in 2026. The first independent verdict on it comes from itakon.it, an Italian outlet covering collectibles and pop culture: 9 out of 10, reviewed by Daniele Trenti and published June 30, 2026. This article lays out exactly what that review says, and what a new studio can and cannot claim about itself before outside reviews exist.
Itakon.it's feature slide for the review.
Why a debut studio needs outside verification
Anyone can write "museum quality" or "collector-grade" on a product page. Those words describe nothing on their own, and a new studio has no delivery history to point to yet. The only thing that actually settles the question is someone with no financial stake in the sale looking at the piece and saying, in public, what they found. That is what an independent review is for, and it is why we are pointing to this one directly instead of only quoting the good parts.
What Itakon.it verified
The review confirms the piece against its own listing: a 42 cm hand-painted polystone statue, 1/10 scale, limited to 100 numbered pieces, priced at €700. It came bundled with a 12 cm Necronomicon replica and a signed 30×40 cm art print by Francesco Manna, plus a numbered certificate of authenticity, exactly as sold on this site.

"La disposizione dei tentacoli evita inoltre qualsiasi effetto di staticità, creando un movimento continuo." ("The arrangement of the tentacles also avoids any static effect, creating continuous movement.")
Trenti's closing assessment: "H.P. Lovecraft: The Forbidden Edition rappresenta un debutto estremamente convincente per Everart Studio" (an extremely convincing debut for Studio Everart), crediting the scenic composition, the exclusive accessories and the tightly limited production.
What the review also said, unedited
A credible review includes friction, not just praise. Trenti noted that assembling some of the tentacle components "potrebbe non essere chiarissimo per i meno esperti" (may not be entirely clear for less experienced collectors). We are reporting that note here rather than leaving it out, because a review that only surfaces the positive is not evidence of anything.

What buyers can verify directly, right now
Beyond the press review, the facts that do not depend on anyone's opinion: the edition is capped at 100 numbered pieces with no reprint, each statue ships with a numbered certificate matching the physical piece, and the listing states the piece ships insured worldwide. None of this requires trusting marketing copy. It is either true on the certificate in your hands or it is not.
