SUBREDDIT RULES
Be civil. Politely disagreeing is one thing, but aggression and trolling towards fellow sub members will get you banned. This also includes any kind of prejudice/discrimination.
Flair your posts appropriately.
Loli content is prohibited under Reddit's content guidelines. See here
Chinese manufacturers (e.g. Myethos, Apex, RIBOSE) and Chinese game/anime figures (Arknights, Genshin Impact, Onmyoji etc.) are welcome.
NSFW figures are absolutely okay! Just make sure you flair your posts accordingly.
Please do not post or link to bootlegs, it will get your posts removed. The only exception would be resin statues ("resins"), but please don't link the purchase source. The appropriate flair for them is "Loot".
Sales posts need to be flaired, the photos need to include proof of authenticity, clearly stated price, location and shipping options. Please purchase at your own risk and make sure to use Paypal to get you covered in case of a shipping mishap or a scam.
If you have questions, complaints or improvement suggestions, message the mods :)
HOW TO DETECT BOOTLEGS
If the price in the listing is too cheap, it's likely a bootleg (unless there are clear photos that show damage/missing parts/a missing box).
Check MyFigureCollection to see if a figure has bootlegs. Compare how they look with the photos in the listing.
A listing should have photos of the exact item they're selling. If there are only stock photos, you should be suspicious.
Buy secondhand figures only from trusted sellers, like Mandarake or Amiami preowned. There are also secondhand figure sellers on Yahoo! Japan Auctions that you can trust.
If a Japanese origin figure has "China version" or "overseas version" in the listing description, that's a bootleg.
Make sure to only buy Chinese origin figures from trusted sellers and stores (those listed in the sidebar).
