Subreddit Information

Anime Figures and Garage Kits

Feel free to share pictures of your newest figure, the latest news on a sculpt, or questions about the hobby.
Please don't post any memes, reaction images, or other low-effort content.

Suggestive or explicit loli content is prohibited under reddit's Content Guidelines.

Figures must come from one of the following origins: A Japanese series (manga, anime, visual novels, etc). Be an aesthetically "anime" figure produced by a Japanese manufacturer/company or from a manufacturer on the approved list.
List of other approved sources: Myethos, Apex, MaxCute, Ribose, Mihoyo, Hobby Max, Vibrastar, Emontoys, Astrum Design, AniGift, DCTer, Snail Shell, AniMester, Party Look, Otherwhere, Solarain, Ensoutoys, Reverse Studio, and Net Ease (this list may periodically be expanded).

Do not promote bootlegs. Bootlegs are harmful to the industry, so we do not want to support them. Posts containing bootlegs, bootleg GKs ('recasts'), or unlicensed figures, advocating for their purchase, or links for purchasing them, will be subject to removal.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the Bootleg Megathread.

Sale and Deal Posts

Posts regarding websites with everyday low prices/reliable sellers are prohibited.

No 'looking to buy' posts - if you need help finding a figure online, that's fine, but please don't solicit users. Please do not make sales offers to other users unless you have an active sale post.

Individual sellers offering a piece are OK as long as your sale follows ALL of these rules:

• All sale/trade posts must include [Sale] or [Trade] in the text of the title in brackets.
• All sales/trades must be in a self-post (text post) format.
  
• All sales must be priced.
• A date+name stamped photo of the figure(s) for sale/trade must be provided. Handwrite your reddit username and the current date on a piece of paper and photograph that alongside the items for sale. See the wiki for more details on what we expect from a verification photo.
• For large sales, lists of figures should match images accordingly in groups of 10 (See the wiki for more info).
• eBay listings must have a 'Buy it Now' option
• Your account must be at least 3 months old.
• One sale/trade post per user every 7 days.

Please also keep in mind that many potential buyers will find it useful if you state what country you’ll be shipping from.

Check out the wiki for a more detailed review of these rules, including info regarding Pre-Order Sale and Trade Posts.

Self-promotion is tolerated (linking to your own site/blog/channel), but please be aware that if the mods do not feel like you contribute enough to the community outside of your own posts, your self promoting post(s) will be removed. Posts containing photos of real people, pets, or other items which are more strongly emphasized than figures will be removed.

Please don't post referral links in the subreddit (this includes Otaku Mode's invite links). Do not advertise or request users to PM you for your TOM links.

NSFW & Spoiler Guidelines

For Self Posts: include a bolded NSFW note next to links in that post.
For Links to sites/images: If the figure is NSFW, or the website has any NSFW content (including ads) be sure to tag your post NSFW and use the appropriate link flair.

Spoiler Code

Please remember to mark any spoilers.
