    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.


    What you need
    Display:

    Some figures include stands, but others may require an additional stand for better stability.
    Recommendation: Action Base 5

    Protective Cases:

    If you wish to keep your collectibles in pristine condition, consider using acrylic display cases or protective boxes.

    Camera:

    Use a good camera or smartphone with proper lighting, like a ring light or softbox, for clear and detailed photos.

      Gets the job done for beginner

      Has all you need to get started and more. Nipper is serviceable, but do get better ones (Gundam Planet, Godhand, etc). Filer is barely useable. Knife is basic but do get better one.

      Best basic tools for your Gunpla journey

      If you want to start building Gunpla for the first time, you need the right tools for it. The Tamiya Basic Tools Set is the first investment you'll need to make your Gunpla look good. The side clippers cut very well. The tweezers will help you with stickers or decals. The hobby knife is pretty good. The file will help you get rid of the nub marks. The 2 screwdrivers I havent used it yet, but it will in a near future. Overall, is a nice tool set and a good investment. Happy building.

      Best for starting out.

      I loved this kit when I first started. After about 8 to 10 kits you'll want to upgrade the nippers. With the file always push and never pull. Buy yourself a 4 surface nail buffer for final cleanup.

      Decent starter tool kit

      The carrying case is handy and compact, and the tools all seem competent. The main, small issue I have is with the exacto-style knife, the bottom part of it sometimes slides free when I'm trying to shift the blade up or down.
