The grails in my collection
Certaines pièces ne définissent pas seulement une collection. Elles en fixent le niveau d’exigence, le goût et la direction.
Here, you will find the most important pieces in my collection: rare figures, irreplaceable items and the objects that shaped my journey as a collector.

The worlds to explore first
Through these often cult franchises, I explore collectible objects, visual archives, figures, anime art, video games and other significant pieces tied to Japanese pop culture.
Fate/Stay Night
Here, I explore the world of Fate/stay night, from figures to the original drawings that shaped the series, with in-depth analysis of its storytelling, visual memory, and major place in Japanese pop culture.
Claymore
A more intimate, darker, and rarer world, expressed through fewer objects, but often highly distinctive ones. I focus on its imagery, visual power, and lasting singularity.
My Hero Academia
A landmark of contemporary shonen, whose impact on pop culture remains immense, reflected in a wide range of collectible items. Sometimes rare, always instantly recognizable.
Hunter x Hunter
A world that became cult through its unforgettable characters, its rare narrative intensity and its unexpected darkness. Here, I explore its characters, its collectible objects, its visual memory and the singular place it holds in Japanese pop culture.
Guardian of pop culture memory giving our passions the place they deserve.
Why imacollector® exists
On imacollector®, I do not treat objects as mere products. They are also traces, images, gestures, and memories that speak of an era, a culture, and a way of seeing the world. Japanese pop culture deserves a space that documents, organizes, preserves and sheds light on what matters.
imacollector® is not here to push people to buy more, but to help them see more clearly, understand more deeply and give better circulation to the objects that truly matter.
Pieces already passed on
Over the past 25 years, many pieces have already left my collection.
I keep their trace here as objects that were passed on, documented and placed back into a story larger than my own. A visual legacy.

Understanding the spirit of imacollector®
Analyses that offer another way to read the works, objects, and images that have shaped our passions.
Other worlds of imacollector®
These themes are part of imacollector®’s editorial territory. They will be developed gradually through future articles, reference pages, and analysis pieces.
Works that leave a mark.
Objects that endure.
A collection that speaks to more than rarity.
