(Part 3) Top products from r/AnimeFigures

here is what i used:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJKOCBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_5s0HAbREM7Z6Y the lights make sure its set to cool white if you are buying your selfnow the cable for the top most light is a bit short so u can always cut and solder a bit from the bottom light to the top one if you don't want the mess that i havealthough i did try to make it as neatly as possible.for securing the wires i just used clear 4inch zip ties and tucked them behind the frame inside.https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-8-Outlet-Conserve-Protector-F7C01008q/dp/B003P2UMNK/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1540851234&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=remote+controll+surge+protector got this surge protector it comes with 6 outlets which are controlled by a remote so you can turn on all the cases with 1 button

https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Tough-Double-Mounting-Inches/dp/B00OXVG9FW to secure the lights i used this double sided tape

and a bit of weather seal to keep the dust out on all 4 sides u can pick some up at home depot or fleet farm just make sure its 5/16th size

will be posting a big figure unboxing a bit later and how they all look inside the case.

Edit: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40275846/ forgot to link the bottom shelf so here it is pretty sturdy for the price

If they like Nendoroids but you're on a budget, maybe try Petite Nendoroids, you can find people selling them on My Figure Collection quite often.

http://myfigurecollection.net/sales.php?sort=date&order=desc&search=nendoroid+petit&tid=0&currency=&price_start=&price_end=&cid=0&location=&ic=-1&bc=-1&mode=list&page=list

They are smaller version of the larger nendoroids are are better for someone on a budget.

I'd avoid buying them on eBay at all costs as there are many counterfit products out there on the market.

If you can splurge a little more there are some other options, Nendoroid Link just came out and most Nendoroid lovers do like him http://www.amazon.com/Good-Smile-The-Legend-Zelda/dp/B00JL74W4I

As other's have mentioned there are many bootlegs out there in the market, if you are worried about getting a fake feel free to PM me directly and I can let you know if what you're looking at is real or not.
(I work directly for Good Smile Company, the people who make Nendoroids as their Marketing/PR person here in the US and can spot a bootleg from a mile away!)

You got a pretty nice deal on that. A couple months ago while I was in HK they were going for $600 there, which is just a tad less than the pre-sale price.

Edit: aww, looks like Amazon caught on, the amazing 25% discount is now over (still has a 12% though as of editing).

I use a variety of tackle boxes from Plano. They have adjustable dividers but I find the 23620 sized ones to be perfect sized for nendoroid faces. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E3C3NU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00

My walmart also sells a larger sized one with a row of large bays and 2 rows of smaller bays I find useful when figures have really large parts that don't fit. The large boxes are like less than 4 dollars at walmart in the fishing section.

Here ya go! I actually got my own from Amazon! It's best to purchase them in sets because they're pretty costly. :)

I suggest either:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074CGC4B7?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title
Or: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZZ43PVC?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

Depending on what you're arranging. Admittedly not from Ikea, but they fit well and look nice.

You're gonna find some good ones here and there, the better ones go around $80-ish sometimes, you could definitely find something around that price though! These are a bit more than $50, but if you wouldn't mind paying $20-ish out of your pocket, they'd be good buys. http://www.amazon.com/Kotobukiya-Genesis-Evangelion-Shikinami-Ani-Statue/dp/B00BIQZ1OA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1377151428&sr=8-3&keywords=evangelion+kotobukiya

Hello, I would like to know if this is legit or not. The seller is Hanopop, it's got mostly positive reviews from people, but Idk if I can trust it Max Factory Persona 5: Joker Figma Action Figure https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0747KZBKJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ThqKDbKZ4QYVN

Easiest link I found was a Amazon link
That was over priced, see
https://myfigurecollection.net/item/93559 for pointers to proper offerings I think.


It's by Banpresto, that link features for way more than I bought it for just under two years ago, but hopefully that helps you find her!

A couple of years ago, /u/DancingQueen5961 recommended this storage cabinet by Akro-Mils. I filed it in my wishlist and sat on the idea for a while.

Now I've finally bought one. Two of the concerns raised in the original thread do apply, specifically:

These single-sized drawers can't fit larger accessories. (The case with the multiple drawer sizes would be best for that.)

Front lip may catch on things when the drawer is opened. I might not use the figma bags for this reason. However, I'd probably still use some buffer material in the drawers to keep things from bouncing around too much.

The issue with too many drawers doesn't apply in my case: I actually have more figures with accessories than the cabinet has drawers, though as mentioned not all of them will have all of their accessories be suitable for the cabinet. But it's enough to work as I'm planning to use it for parts storage for the figures that I tend to change parts on often.

Now to actually finish loading the thing.

I haven't been able to switch to her demon form because the neck peg is stuck in the body of the figure. Hopefully I can switch it out at a later time (I put some 5 minute epoxy in the joint and let it set, hopefully it works).

The horn needs this light to work, and I honestly don't have any plans for displaying her in demon form right now.

Good Smile Company. Both are available on Amazon here and here. It seems they ran out of Red and only resellers have him available at 3x the price. I checked eBay and some are cheaper on there.

Sure! I used these and these. :)

Preeetty sure this is safe, based on what I've read, but this is my first time buying figures. So... safety first!

Amazon

Ebay - same seller

MFC

I've been using these Plano containers

They sell the single trays individually, too, but I like to get the whole box and store repair / cleaning tools or extremely large accessories in the top compartment.

Has anyone bought from Banpresto's store on Amazon? I've heard about the problems with Amazon, but curious if (I'm assuming) the official store would have the chance of selling bootlegs.

​

The figure in question:
https://www.amazon.com/Banpresto-Lelouch-Rebellion-Lelouche-Lamperouge/dp/B079FP1BXK

I ended up buying the following from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B64HCQZ
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009SNOEPM
I'm not completely won over by either set, but they both have their uses. The first set is higher and more square, while the latter is wider. If anyone know of good (price effective) acrylic stands let me know!

I use these three level risers, these fit the standard bases only, 3 level risers edit fixed link I also have this set, of 3 smaller risers as well just for other figures.

Shopping for my brothers 18th bday, he loved the visual novels and with the the recent release of unlimited blade works i figured now would be a good time and try to pick up a saber figure for him, it seams to check out but i've never bought one of these before, is it real?

http://www.amazon.com/Saber-Triumphant-Excalibur-Scale-Figure/dp/B003552VO0/ref=pd_bxgy_21_img_2/190-2540008-7556528?ie=UTF8&refRID=1VM9PXN89MQ93BQFZZ64#Ask

Ive also been looking at this for myself

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WM8B2A/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00W4RLLUK?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image#askDPSearchSecondaryView_1563217437442

This deal looks to good to be true, but it looks legit other than the price, is it real?

Here're a few examples. You can also use your imagination and come up with something, like boxes! I use the box for this as a riser for one of my figures with a wide base, for example.

Idk what the import and shipping to there is but its a fairly cheap figure?

https://www.amazon.com/Banpresto-Lelouch-Rebellion-Lelouche-Lamperouge/dp/B079FP1BXK

So like 25-30 USD new but idk how much price go up for shipping to you.

Sunny is standing on of these from amazon.

This stuff is really nifty for keeping stuff from falling.

Super Glue will either frost look or not glue to painted points.

I use http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Glue-4200101-Epoxy/dp/B001Z3C3AG put a dot of glue -- enough to not smoosh out then wrap a rubber band the head. Let it set for how ever long the written directions say for. Thats how we glue parts on GKs but minus drilling a hole and putting a pin joint to glue it steady, but I don't think its necessary at the moment.

Here's some alternatives:

Epoxy gorilla glue, https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Epoxy-Minute-ounce-Syringe/dp/B001Z3C3AG

I waited 24 hours after application to move her.

I got one of these

I hit this switch instead of the ceiling might switch.

Amazon (US) is selling her for $57. A third-party selling is selling her for $52.

Her horn is lit up. Had to buy this

This, and this

I used this LED strip

The strip is 16 feet long, so i measured out a rectangle for the top of my case, and the front length of the case. I then cut the strip into sections so i could run the cable how i wanted.

I used these adapters to connect each of the sections i made

For the connection from the front left cable to the front right cable, i spliced one of the connectors with some white spare cable i bought, and ran it across the bottom of the case (seen in one of the pictures. Then i mounted everything with 3M mounting tape, which is highly recommended. Let me know if you have other questions, as I made some mistakes which cost me some length of LEDs but was overall not too hard.

No problem

If you are so inclined, you could also try Amazon.jp and use a proxy
