If you're unsure about how to begin your collection, this blog can serve as a reference guide that explores anime action figure collections and explains the factors to consider when purchasing them.

Why Collect Anime Action Figures?

They also make great conversation starters, giving you the chance to talk about your favourite characters .

Creating action figures requires time, skill, and a great deal of dedication. By purchasing official merchandise, you help make sure these creators are fairly paid for their work and encouraged to keep creating characters you love.

How to Choose the Right Anime Action Figures

The following factors must be considered when choosing the right anime action figures:

1. Figure Type 

A. Static Figures - These figures are sculpted in fixed poses and don’t move, making them perfect for capturing characters in their most iconic moments. They are highly detailed and artistic, making them ideal for collectors seeking to create a themed or aesthetic shelf.

At Bold Car Store, you’ll find an impressive range of high-quality static figures, including intense battle-ready poses of the Kamado siblings from Demon Slayer, dynamic My Hero Academia characters, and a powerful Dragon Ball Z Goku action figure radiating heroic energy. 

B. Articulated Figures-  Flexible joints allow you to move limbs and swap accessories. These are perfect for customising creative poses. They often come with interchangeable faces, hands, and effects that allow you to create different iconic poses. Bold Car Store has a curated collection of articulated figures. Like Naruto performing jutsu with chakra effects, and a battle-ready Luffy from One Piece, complete with swappable gear for different poses

2.  Size & Scale

Scale refers to how a figure’s size compares to the actual height of the character in the anime. For example, a 1/8 scale figure is one-eighth the size of the real character. 

However, not every figure follows a set scale. Some are designed for artistic appeal or convenience, without a direct size comparison to the character, and are known as non-scale figures.

Bold Car Store offers 1/8 scale figures from series like Attack on Titan and Tokyo Revengers, perfect for display shelves or cabinets. And if you're tight on space, we also offer a selection of compact figures, ideal for desks, small shelves, or even dashboards, without compromising on character appeal.

3.  Authenticity

Authenticity is key when starting your anime figure collection. An authentic figure is not only pretty but also holds value over time.

To ensure you're getting the genuine product, always look for the official brand logo and high-quality packaging. Most authentic figures also come with a holographic sticker from the manufacturer or distributor, which serves as proof of authenticity.

4. Limited Editions or Exclusives

If you want your collection to be financially beneficial for you in the future, you can look for limited editions and event exclusives. These are one of a kind figures that are produced in small quantities. Their value increases with time and is auctioned for high prices by collectors.
