Where to Begin Your Anime Statue collection

By Haruna Skyes


So you have at long last fallen into the industry of collecting anime statues? Or, it could be that you just now have a curiosity? Maybe you may have just seen an anime convention, or just a friend's house, and was astonished by the products being showcased? Whatever the reason might be, you have an interest in finding out more about the joy of obtaining Japanese anime and manga toys. But, exactly where do you start off?Fortunately, you've come to the best place. At this website you can find a selection of the best anime and manga statue goods (as they're released).

Many statues are scaled PVC figures. These never involve any putting together, and are all set to go right when you get them. All that is needed is that you simply take them out of their boxes, and arrange them for viewing! These commonly are produced scaled in certain sizes. The majority are in 1/6 or 1/7 scale, meaning they are close to 1/6th or 1/7th the dimensions the projected character would be. Several figurines are available as small as 1/10th scale (or smaller, but I have yet to see smaller than that), and as large as 1/4th! The price tag of these figures change by scale. Smaller sized ones (1/8 or 1/7) may be between $30USD to $125USD, based on the detail. If you are looking at the 1/4 or 1/6 scale figures, anticipate a larger cost; $80USD to $210USD, or even more.

The next group of anime statues is known as cast off statues. And, it's exactly as it appears to be! These statues have pieces that happen to be removable or replaceable. These statues have the same standards as regular scaled figures, in that they are scaled, generally between 1/10th and 1/6th scale. The primary variation here is the ability to take off clothing or various other components. These statues are usually hentai or ecchi figures, which means that they can be sexually perverted and may also present bare skin. The price ranges for these figurines will usually be exactly the same as the normal PVC figures. Although, they might be a little higher, given that they also have additional features.

Next up is a make named figmas. This is a type designed by the company Max Factory, one of the main sculpture manufacturers. Figmas are much different compared to the scaled PVC figures. Figmas have joints, which allow them to be placed into numerous postures, contrary to the typical scaled figurines. Also, these figmas generally have more parts that may be interchanged. For example, the head may be changeable with a different face. Other regions are ordinarily compatible in addition. The costs of these figurines differ, but are usually rather low-cost. Ordinarily any where from $25USD to $50USD.

The following sort of anime figure I'm will be discussing is known as a nendoroid. These were manufactured by Good Smile Company, another infamous maker of anime statues and goods. This sort of sculpture is similar to the figma in the sense that there are many removable and changeable elements. In addition, these figurines have joints, so that you'll be able to also adjust the figure's stance. These figures are small, normally no more than the size of one's hands. The costs of these usually run identical as figmas. However, they ordinarily do not cross $60USD (at least with the current exchange rate!)

As you can likely tell, collecting anime statues does offer a lot of variety. From scaled PVCs to figmas, or nendoroids to cast offs, there are many different kinds of statues for every type of collector. What kind of collector will you become?
