TEKKEN World Tour / Case study
TEKKEN World Tour 2025 Trophy
A large-scale illuminated championship trophy built by Hoku Props for the TEKKEN World Tour 2025 Global Finals.
The challenge
Build a championship icon for a global finals stage.
The trophy needed a forceful broadcast silhouette, reflective finishes, integrated light, safe handling, protective transport, and enough physical presence to anchor the winner presentation.
Built to light up
Lit from inside, tested in the dark.
An integrated LED base lights the fists and the chevrons from within. Hoku tested the lighting in a dark room before delivery, so the trophy reads on a broadcast and holds its glow in a dark venue.
Packing and international delivery
Crated for the trip to the finals.
The trophy ships in a road case, braced inside a custom wood crate on a pallet, then strapped and wrapped for international freight.
Build progression
From raw print to the finals.
