Figure Culture Store – A Picture Diary

Remeber when we mentioned about our little Anime Figurine store? It was actually a project we started in collage and we’ve been serving the local folks with many Anime Figures ever since ^^ Thank you for your warm support (^o^) It means a lot to us! Many things have changed and we shall take a quick look at our base.

Human size figure – Hikari Miyamoto

In conjunction with the product development of Figuarts Zero Summer Lesson: Hikari Miyamoto figure which is scheduled for August 2017, Bandai has also been considering about producing a figure that would allow fans of Hikari to enjoy the “real feeling” of her “being really there” with them!.

Types of figure collectors

What kind of figure collector are you? (^o^)

Bootleg Anime Figures

As a serious collector of licensed products, you probably know how yucky bootleg figures can be and if you’re a new collector, just starting out on collecting anime figures you may not be aware of just how many bootleg figures are in the market. In fact, you might even pick up one without realizing it.

Yuck. So let’s shed some light into this shady bootleg zone and turn you into a knowledgeable collector.

Figure Culture Store

We are excited to announce that Figure Culture has its own store now and it’s called the Figure Culture Store.
