Weekly lists of which collectible figures are heating up, cooling off, or not worth the money.
Free. One email a week. No store. No spam.
Good Smile Nendoroid #3097. Official shop bonus window was set to close mid-September 2026. Small, cheap entry if you play the new Silent Hill and want one piece on the shelf.
Verdict: Buy if you like the game. Skip if you only buy scales. ~¥6,200–6,800 / about $40–50 plus shipping.
Showed up in AmiAmi mid-year figure ranking. VTuber scales move fast when a talent is touring or clipping well. Aftermarket usually jumps if the first run is thin.
Verdict: Pre-order if you collect hololive. Do not chase after release unless you accept a markup.
New prize and Nendoroid variants are still coming through 2026. Prize figures are cheap display pieces. Scales and Nendoroids hold value better.
Verdict: Prize version = fun, low risk. Scale = only if this is a character you display long-term.
Revealed at Wonder Festival 2026 Summer. Wedding versions of main heroines usually pre-order well and do not sit on shelves.
Verdict: Watch the pre-order open date. These sell on announcement, not on release.
NIKKE keeps getting large Kotobukiya and event scales. Collectors buy the character they main. Random NIKKE scales are easier to miss if you do not play.
Verdict: Buy your main. Skip “it looks cool” unless you have shelf space and budget.
Hit AmiAmi reservation ranks because customizers use these under kits and clothes. Not a character figure. Different buyer.
Verdict: Buy only if you customize. Most anime collectors can ignore this.
These rank on raw pre-order volume and then flood the used market. Pretty sculpt, weak resale unless the artist is a name you already collect.
Verdict: Wait 6 months after release and look at used prices before you spend ¥20,000+.
One pre-order max if you are new. Prefer a character you already watch or play. Check shipping to Canada before you click.
Next list: same time next week. Prices and windows change. Re-check before buying.
