Figures

Figures are not mere merchandise.
They materialize a character, a work, and sometimes an era, reflecting how a culture chooses to embody its imaginary worlds.

This category explores the world of collectible figures from anime, manga, video games, and pop culture through guides, selections, and in-depth analyses. It addresses both newcomers and experienced collectors, with particular attention given to rare models, limited editions, and market dynamics.

Beyond trends and prices, this space offers a broader reading of figures as cultural objects: their production, artistic intent, circulation, and reception among collectors. A place to nurture one’s passion, refine one’s perspective, and understand what these objects reveal about our relationship to works and to collecting, in Japan and internationally.
