| What's the best site to buy anime figurines that are cheap, but also have good quality and aren't bootlegs? |
 |
| If you buy figures new, and not used, they're not going to be cheap. :P Sometimes figure sites, such as 1999.co.jp, amiami and mandarake have sales, but it's still nowhere as cheap as buying a used figure on eBay. You simply have to keep an eye out for bootlegs. There are plenty of authentic figures on eBay, but you may need to ask the seller, and see plenty of pictures of the figures you're interested in to make sure that they're authentic. |

Unfortunately, properly supporting any one franchise or company in the purest form of buying it straight from a publisher/manufacturer is going cost a pretty penny. I have spent more than I'd like to admit buying manga volumes straight from Japan. Sad that I can't even read them. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| I use https://otakumode.com/ and https://www.goodsmile.info/en/ be wary of buying used products because more often than not, they are knock offs I only new products because I don't trust sellers They'll just claim ignorance and you can't do anything about it Otakumode gives a lot of cash back so it's worth using their site IMO  Sorry for ugly background Small collection but everything there is a decent price minus vegeta lego set Shiro set is worth 300-400 dollars NEW now My brother got it for me for 200-250 with like 100 dollars cash back to buy more figures lol If I knew it would have gone up that much in price I should have bought the max |

Also, that's an impressive collection you have. |

| I use CDJapan and ebay, I've used the Crunchyroll store like, once, 'cause it tends to be more expensive |
| I use to buy my figures on Figuya or sometimes Ebay. |

| You'd have to buy pre-owned figures if you want cheaper. AmiAmi and Mandarake are pretty much the best options. SolarisJapan has a used selection as well, but their prices are usually higher. eBay is also good if you know what to look for. You just need to be careful because there are a ton of bootlegs there. If you're really on a budget, collecting prize figures is an option. If you had new figures like scales or nendoroids in mind, they will be expensive. If you live in the US or Canada, Tokyo Otaku Mode is probably the best. They have membership dicounts, a great point system with sales and massive points back, and free shipping if you meet the threshold, which you should always do. The one drawback with TOM is that their prices are higher than anywhere else, so only buy from them when they have a sale or point promotion going on. |

| I have 13 figures. Aside from the one that was a souvenir that I found on vacation in France, all of which either came with limited editions of DVDs I bought in the 2000s or bought from Amazon or Ebay. https://myfigurecollection.net/profile/Kruszer/collection/ |

| Hey there, for anyone reading this and knows a bit about figures how does it feel or do you notice/realize the differences of bootlegs vs official figures? If not mistaken there's also this thing called grade to inform the quality of it. |
