You have actually finally discovered yourself interested in collecting anime statues! Maybe since you enjoy reading manga or viewing anime. Or, possibly you saw some cute, colorful, appealing toys in a store's window or on a Japanese website. Whatever the factor, one thing is particular: you're ready to start collecting! It's an extremely enjoyable and popular hobby, so you are not alone! Sadly, however, lots of people foreign to Japan find it challenging to discover these statues, considering that they're primarily produced in Japan. Perhaps you, yourself, have tried to learn more details? For that purpose, I've complied a list of popular designs of anime figures that exist, and how you can find more info on the newest launched statues!

Since these statues are so popular, lots of manufacturers have actually designed different types of statues. The most popular type to date, and likely the very first developed, is called a scaled PVC statue. They're called this because they're produced with a product called Polyvinyl Chloride, shortened as PVC. Generally, the parts of the statues are mass-produced by machines, and are created by hand. They are created to be scaled to a particular size, normally straight proportional to a real size character. The majority of these statues are scaled in between 1/8th to 1/5th, however not all. I have actually seen statues scaled at 1/1 (full scale!), or more typically 1/4th. I have actually also seen statues scaled at 1/10th. The detail to these statues are likewise typically high, depending upon the maker. The prices range based on the size and detail, anywhere from $70 up to $300. There are special celebrations in which the costs may be greater or lower, nevertheless.

The second most popular design of statues is called a cast-off. As indicated by the name, these figures have parts that are removable. They're usually made of the exact same PVC as routine scaled statues. Although, recently 'candy-resin', a product that is known to mimic the sensation of skin much better than PVC, has actually been used. These statues are mostly developed as hentai (perverted) statues, where the clothes can be completely removed to expose a naked statue. That being said, however, this is not constantly the case. In some cases clothing can be gotten rid of just to expose undergarments, or a character in a swimwear. In both cases, cast-off figures give the owner a slightly different method to show the character. These statues typically price about the like the previous ones, depending upon scale and detail, however may cost a little more due to extra parts.

A weird, yet popular, style of anime statues that has actually been becoming increasingly popular is called a nendoroid. This statue line was developed by Great Smile Company, a widely known and trustworthy figure distributor. These statues are extremely little in height, usually determining in at 4 inches. They're made in a chibi design, with action figures de animes their heads about one-third the size of the whole statue. What's made them so popular lately is that they have many parts that are interchangeable. They are available in sets, including products such as additional faces, body parts, clothes, props, etc. These pieces quickly snap on and off to the statue. The parts included typically come from the anime series that the character is featured from, and normally connect into the storyline in some way. Also, they have movable joints, a function not seen in regular PVC statues. This makes them movable, so that you might place them in any position you like! These small toys are more affordable than the formerly discussed statues, and typically cost as low as $25. It's unusual to see a nendoroid go over $60.

Another popular kind of statue that is being produced is known as a figma. Also developed by a popular and well-known figure supplier referred to as Max Factory, figmas resemble nendoroids in that they likewise have movable joints. Nevertheless, these statues are much bigger. They are comparable in height to scaled PVC statues, about 6 inches tall. These toys also come with many parts featured from the statue's anime, making it easy to represent a scene as if it's actually taking place! Numerous collectors discover this satisfying, given that it adds to the gathering experience. Instead of simply owning a character, you also own a scene from a show! Since these statues are a huge bigger than nendoroids, they typically cost more, but are more economical than scaled PVC or cast-off statues. They generally cost between $35 and $70.

The last type of popular statues are model sets. These were constantly my preferred as a kid! The most popular type are Gundam models. These ones are made of plastic, and require assembly. Gundam sets are usually pretty simple to put together, as the parts merely snap in. Nevertheless, there are other, more collectible (and costly) sets that need more labor. These might need you to glue and paint the pieces, which requires accuracy and talent. These sets are usually rare, harder to obtain, or are special. The rate may range significantly, depending upon the set. However, it's much easier and less expensive to acquire the cheaper Gundam designs, and can range anywhere from $10 to $50.
