I'm looking for places to buy anime figurines (small ones)

Post by Riph » Thu Jan 25, 2007 4:47 pm

(Apologies if we're not supposed to post this kind of thing - I'm not a regular poster, but didn't see this kind of thing in the FAQ.)

Along with anime and frolf and sports and a bunch of other time wasters, one of my many hobbies is collecting small plastic figurines.

Can anyone tell me some websites/stores where I might find new anime figurines (not used/sold by individuals)? I'm specifically looking for figures that are small (2-4 inches), and made of pvc or similar materials, such as the types of figurines included in McDonalds Happy Meals. I'm actually interested in most any cartoon/comic character figurines of this type, but anime figures would be more appealing.

Ideally, the figures would not be on a base, and I am also interested in keychains that are figures (as compared to flat keychains). I've linked to an example here (dbz).

Again, not interested in used lots or collectors (who charge $5+ per figurine), but rather small (cheap) packs or even wholesale places where you have to buy by the dozen. My price range would be around $1/figurine, unless it's just perfect.

I've looked all over the net, but sadly, it is very hard to search for figurines this small instead of full size figures because the quotation mark is used by search engines for specificity and not recognized as "inches". The best I can find is the occasional pack of Bleach figurines or Simpsons figurines labeled as anime. I keep hoping to find some site where I can pick and choose dozens of figurines like some kind of online Chuck E. Cheese prize counter. :P

Thanks for any suggestions.

I haven't read anything about this not being in the rules so here is a place.

Thanks, I'll look at em, though in general, I'm disinclined to do the ebay route, as some may be used, and in general, most look to be $3+ for 1 figurine.

A more commercial store would be more favorable.

But again, thanks. Maybe I'll find some interesting things there.
