Figure Collection

hi! welcome 2 my figure shrine. i've been collecting figures since 2022, but only lately have i really gotten into collecting more than just mascot characters ^_^ a handful of the figures listed on here are counterfeit but let's just ignore that ok? Ok.
the cheap/gashapon figures i get (you can search gashapon in the search bar!) are always from aliexpress and im like. 50% sure theyre actually legit... the lookup figures i own, though few and far between, are from aliexpress too, as well as my standees! honestly for non-scale figures, aliexpress tends to be reliable! That being said, my tomura look up is a legit figure.
if you're looking to collect figures, while i do get many of my figures from cons, they tend to be unreliably priced, typically marked up a good $10-$15. figurerepublic offers free shipping and a lot of (second hand) goods for varying prices, and has some pretty hard to find items!! nin-nin-game and solaris japan i also have experience with, and many of the items are pretty well priced, though most of my orders lately have been from figurerepublic and i'd honestly reccomend checking them out before checking any other site.
