    Collectibles and Figures Guide

    Before You Buy

    Limited & Exclusive Releases: Certain figures are produced in limited quantities or as store exclusives. Availability may be limited, and restocks are not guaranteed.

    Blind Box Items: Some figures come in blind boxes, meaning you will receive a random character. Please check the product description before purchasing.

    Pre-Orders: If the figure is a pre-order item, check the estimated release date and shipping timeline before placing an order.


    How to Care for Your Figures

    Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Store figures away from direct sunlight.

    Temperature & Humidity Control: Keep figures in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or deterioration of materials.

    Regular Dusting: Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust without damaging delicate paintwork.

    Storage for Extra Parts: Some figures come with interchangeable hands, faces, or accessories. Store them in labeled bags or small containers to prevent loss.

      Very good and solid

      Very good file set. Use mostly one but it's cheap so why not get 3?

      The Starting files

      This basic set of files should work for everyone, the flat will obviously be used the most for gunpla, but I've found the round and semi-circular have uses as well. Therubber-like texture on the handles is comfortable and the package can serve as a case. As other suggested in reviews, avoid getting water on them and I would recommend a brass brush to clean the file grooves so that they last longer.

      Underrated, but essential.

      The most useful tool no one ever talks about; absolutely necessary for fixing otherwise unreachable fitting issues. Typical Tamiya quality and flexibility for under $10 make this set in particular a no brainer.

      Great files

      This is a really good basic set of files. I’ve tried many styles and brands, and this is still my go-to set. They are really easy to hold, easy to clean and have good cuts that file down plastics quickly. These files will cut smoothly as long as you keep them clean, which is more than I can say for a lot of other files out there.

      excellent files

      other than the half-round having a longitudinal curve to it that may or may not be normal (i honestly don't know) these are fantastic. You really can't get them wet though, i spilled a few drops of water on one & it had rust spots inside a few hours.
