Where to get Anime Figurines online?

Raymond Lin · 18 Apr 2010 at 14:33

Apart from Forbidden Planet, which the nearest one is a £25 train ride away and their selection are too western orientated to my liking, where can i get figurines such as Dragonball Z, Final Fantasy etc online? Basically more figures from Japan. I don't mind international sites but i have no idea where to start.

Ebay is also the best bet for rare / out of print ones

I looked, but most of their stuff are like Dr Who, Ironman, LOTR, basically Western stuff, I'd like more Japanese anime stuff.

Or just come to japan, those things are all in the claw grabber machines, for 100 yen it can be yours

Yeah because a trip to Japan will be cheaper than the £25 train ride.

What about sites based in the uk so you don't have to pay for international shipping?

Don't know any worthwhile ones

Amecon is coming up in August. The dealer's room there will no doubt be well stocked with this stuff. Can't wait.

www.rightstuf.com are based in the US but reasonable shipping (especially if you order 2 or more items, as the first is $10, but any additional ones are just $2 each).
www.archonia.com is based in Belgium from memory but have a good range, sorted by type/series
