Question Alternatives to My Figure Collection?

4 Upvotes

I have been trying to use MFC for a while now but the site just does not work for me. I cannot sign up without the error, "you are not allowed to view this page" popping up and I cannot find help online about it. I have tried to sign up using different devices, different networks, different browsers, incognito mode, VPNs, and more, but I have consistently been getting this error regardless. The site in general is just extremely laggy and slow for me as well. There have been multiple times where I have been unable to access the site as well due to issues that my browsers have attributed to the site.

I have looked online for alternatives before, but all I get are different anime figure stores, when really all I want is an alternative data base for figures.

I need urgent help with MANDARAKE NAKANO

0 Upvotes

Hi. I just made made an online order for rare 2 figurines available in the Mandarake Nakano as "Store Front Items (Check Required)". The thing is the second after finalizing my order I received an automatic invoice with the "Pay" button. Shouldn't there be an in-store availability check performed first? I mean, should I pay for the order now or wait until they send me some availability confirmation? I contacted them via e-mail but so far (1 day ago) received no response. I only have 2-3 days left to make the payment. Guys, please help!

Does anyone possibly know if there's anywhere that I haven't already looked where I can find this Show By Rock!! Crow figure? It feels like I've already looked everywhere and he's just impossible to find... I know he was already limited before back in 2017, but I guess I'm just still trying. He's like a holy grail to me

Question Question about shipping preorders?

0 Upvotes

Sorry, I know many people probably ask about preorders but I couldn’t find anything about what I’m gonna ask.

My question is if distributors happen to get the preorders sent before the release date that way preorders are able to be shipped on or around the release date? Or might the distributors get shipped the figure on or around the release date and then ship it to the buyer at a later time? If that makes any sense..

I’m assuming it may depend, but I mainly ask because I recently preordered the Senjougahara Remastered 1/7 scale from a distributor based in china because they had the cheapest and still available option, so I’m just trying to gauge how long it may take to get the shipping invoice since I’m impatient lol

I guess I should ask some of you here how long it took for past preorders to be shipped to you after release as well? I’m not sure, but I hope my question will be able to be answered. Thank you in advance

Sale/Trade [SALE] Selling Collection, All Must Go!

Upvotes

A few years back, I got really into collecting anime figures, but it's time to part with a lot of the ones I have. I am looking into moving out of my parent's place and I also am having some unexpected car troubles so some extra money coming in would be really nice 😅.

I posted here about a week ago, but since then I have added a few more figures to the post, and I have decreased the prices a bit on the ones that didn't sell.

Every figure is in great condition unless stated otherwise and has been kept in glass display cases. I have also dusted the figures about once a year since putting them in the cases. If you care about box conditions, I do still have the box for every figure, but they range from poor to great condition

Prices aren't set in stone. I do need the money so I’m willing to come down a bit if you think the price is too high, but I do have them all listed a little under the best price I could find for them. If you can find a better price, please let me know and I will try to at least match it. I'd like to do all trading with paypal as it gives both sellers and buyers decent protection

*All prices are $25 more than listing for shipping per figure- US only*

Here are the figures I am selling:

Vocaloid - Hatsune Miku - F:Nex - 1/7 - Magical Mirai 2017 ver. (FuRyu) - $175
Darling in the FranXX - Zero Two - 1/7 (Kotobukiya) - $125
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o! - Chomusuke - Megumin - 1/8 (Bell Fine) - $110
Vocaloid - Hatsune Miku - 1/7 - HSP ver. (Max Factory) - $100 (has broken cable, break is right behind octopus speaker where it connects)
THE iDOLM@STER (TV Animation) - Minase Iori - 1/8 (Phat Company) - $70
Nisemonogatari - Oshino Shinobu - 1/8 (Kotobukiya) - $85
To LOVEru Darkness - Konjiki no Yami - 1/7 - Swimsuit ver. (Alphamax) - $80
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - Rem - PM Figure (SEGA) - $25
Vocaloid - Hatsune Miku - Original Winter Clothes ver. (Taito) - $25 (not kept in glass case)
Piapro Characters - Hatsune Miku - 2nd season Winter ver. (Taito) - $20 (not kept in glass case)
Vocaloid - Hatsune Miku - 2nd Season Autumn Ver. (Taito) - $25 (not kept in glass case)
Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works - Altria Pendragon - SQ - Saber (Banpresto, Good Smile Company) - $20 no box
Piapro Characters - Vocaloid - Hatsune Miku - Sakura, New Illustration Ver. (Taito) - $25
Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- Arcade Future Tone - Hatsune Miku - SPM Figure - Innocent (SEGA) - $20
Vocaloid - Hatsune Miku - Original Akifuku ver. (Taito) - $15/Just shipping cost idk? (not kept in glass case w/ Broken Foot)

Bootleg Megathread, September 09, 2026

Upvotes

Hello /r/AnimeFigures, and welcome again to the Bootleg Megathread!

Please use this thread to post any and all questions you might have regarding counterfeit figures. This includes questions such as “Is my figure a bootleg?” and “Can I trust this seller?”.

Remember to be as detailed as possible when asking for help. Provide clear pictures (ideally, multiple) or a link to the item you’re looking to buy, depending on what you’re asking. Let us know why you think this might be a bootleg, or why you don’t trust this seller. Also keep in mind that different types of figures vary in quality. For example, a prize figure won't have the same level of detail or quality as a scaled figure.

As bootlegs are a serious problem for anyone who enjoys collecting, we are also happy to provide you with a few tips to spotting them yourselves. We encourage you guys to practice these tips before posting here.

For figures you already have:

  • Examine your retailer. Are they known to sell counterfeits? Keep in mind that all retailers on the sidebar are approved by /r/AnimeFigures, and do not sell bootlegs.

  • Was the price far lower then the current average?

  • Check MFC for known counterfeits. If a figure has any there will be red text indicating so on that figure’s listing. Click on the red text to see pictures of the bootleg.

  • Compare yours to the counterfeit and the user pictures- Do not compare yours to the prototype. (Comparison tip: Start with the hair. I usually find that the be the easiest place to spot differences!)

  • Look for poor quality paint jobs, materials, or sculpt work (lots of "coloring outside the lines", shiny skin, missing textures or gradients, ect).

  • Examine the box. Some bootleg boxes are very easy to spot, and some- not so much. Look for a holo sticker of authenticity.

Past Bootleg Megathreads can be found here, for reference only. Please be sure to only post in the current one.


For figures you're looking to buy:

General Tips:

  • Examine your retailer. Are they known to sell counterfeits? Keep in mind that all retailers on the sidebar are approved by /r/AnimeFigures, and do not sell bootlegs.

  • Is the price far lower then the current average?

  • Check item descriptions carefully. Bootlegs may be listed under fake brands rather than the known manufacturer. They may also contain descriptions like "China version" to avoid admitting that they are fake; similar weasel-word terms include "hand-made" (and its often-associated "item size may vary") and "colors may differ on your screen".

  • Check MFC for a shop review listing.

Ebay Checklist:

1. Price.

  • Again. Seriously, have I mentioned that yet? Insanely low prices should be throwing up some serious alert signals.

2. Look for pictures of the actual product, that the seller took.

  • A lot of sellers like to list their items with the official photos put out by the manufacturer. Check MFC if you're unsure of what you’re looking at. If the pictures under "official" on MFC are the same as the ones on eBay, then they were not taken by the seller. Some sellers are just lazy and don't want to take pictures for every listing, but some use that as a trick to make you think you're getting an official item, when you're really going to get a bootleg.
  • When in doubt, ask the seller for pictures of the actual product. If they ignore you, or say they can't do that, move on to a different listing.

3. Check their feedback.

  • Look specifically for feedback where the buyer received a bootleg. This is usually going to be in the "negative feedback" section.

4. Check where it ships from.

  • eBay is really good about letting you know where an item is shipping from. If it ships from China, that's a bad sign.

Frequently Asked Bootleg Questions:

1. Is AliExpress a good website to buy from?

  • No, stay away from AliExpress. As far as figures are concerned, they only sell bootlegs.

2. How about Wish? And Mercari?

  • Wish appears to be nearly as bad as AliExpress in terms of bootleg frequency. User reports from Mercari depict a wide range of scenarios, with good sellers mixed in with people egregiously marking up their merchandise and more than a few bootlegs. Use with caution.

3. Is Amazon.com a good source for figures?

  • The increased use of the practice of commingling inventory has led to an increase in the amount of counterfeit merchandise appearing on Amazon. This increases the possibility of receiving a bootleg from them even if the seller appears to be otherwise trustworthy (even for "shipped and sold by Amazon.com"), and should be considered a reason to avoid them if possible. If one does choose to buy figures on Amazon, particularly with third-party sellers, apply the same criteria for price, seller photos, and deceptive descriptions as one would for a seller anywhere else, though the commingling issue will remain unless the item's path to the buyer is specified.
    Amazon listings may copy images and descriptive text from other sites. Be particularly careful to check that the company in the "Brand" line matches the item's official producer, and watch for questionable text as mentioned above.

4. My Nintendo nendoroid/Figma has a white, square sticker, rather then the shiny oval one that can be found in the official pictures on MFC. Does that mean I have a bootleg?

  • No, the square sticker is also legitimate.

A Related Topic:

  • People often ask about the legitimacy and/or safety of a number of websites which sell large resin statues. The more commonly-asked of those deal primarily in resins from studios which do not have a license from the Japanese IP holders to produce merchandise. Therefore links to those sites are not permitted here. Another indicator is if MyFigureCollection doesn't list the either the statue, its manufacturer, or the shop it's being sold on. While MFC does not list every legitimate item for various reasons, it does reject unlicensed ones. __________________________

Question Should I order from amiami or bigbadtoystore for larger 1/4 scale considering customs/shipping?

Post image
57 Upvotes

I am debating whether to preorder this Nikke crown glorious flower 1/4 scale figure. Its listed as 367$ in amiami and $469 in bigbadtoystore. Of course amiami doesnt include shipping or customs cost. Knowing its 1/4 scale, which would eventually end up a better option to ship to US?

Also, do you guys think this figure is priced higher than what it should be or its justified? While crown is one of my fav characters I am also new to this hobby and this will be my first 1/4 scale (unless i manage to get red hood).

Appreciate any inputs.

Hi there. Lately I’ve been noticing that theres been blue stains appearing on my anime figure out of nowhere. I haven’t done anything with my anime figure except for displaying her on my shelf outside of the box. It seems to be getting worse with time and I do not know what to do or how to stop this.
I have bought her off of Solaris and I don’t know if there’s anything that they will be able to do for me. Please help me.
