Looking for sites that sell anime figures.
2 years ago
General
So I have a selection of anime figures I have acquired over the course of, maybe 20 or so years. A lot of which have large breasts because, you know, look at my art.
I know of a few sites:
https://store.crunchyroll.com/
https://www.hlj.com/
https://www.usagundamstore.com/
I have ordered from Crunchyroll and had no issues with them, I have heard of HobbyLink Japan for quite some time, and the final a friend says they use for Gundam models.
Now right now I have a desire to purchase a 1/4 scale busty anime girl figure/statue. I have had my eyes on this one, and even with this higher priced shipping and handling seems to come out as the cheapest option when buying brand new.
https://www.hlj.com/1-4-scale-azur-.....igure-myo15013
So I am wondering a few things. Does anyone have any sites that they know of that sells anime figures of that nature? Or does anyone know where I can get the figure linked above for a better price?

There's amiami.com. It's very similar to HLJ, but I've found their prices are generally better (I've heard other people say their shipping is higher, though I haven't seen any evidence of that). Unfortunately they don't do shipping estimations, they'll only calculate shipping once you confirm an order. Amiami also sells pre-owned goods, so you can sometimes find a good deal that way.
There's also mandarake.org, another Japanese business. They specialize entirely in pre-owned goods. The tricky thing about them is that they have several physical locations, and their online inventory lists items at those locations, so when you order something, they have to check that it hasn't already been sold on-site. The one exception is their stored named Sahra, which is only online and thus needs no checking (usually).
Then there's bigbadtoystore, a western business, so shipping isn't as high, but you're going to pay a hefty markup on anything directly imported from Japan.
Those are two of the sites I use the most for buying anime figs. Haven't had a bad purchase through either of them to date.
Plus there is another 1/4 figure there that is on sale for $140:

Even with the express shipping listed there it's still a good price.
