How to Buy Anime Figures // Retailers, shipping, and how to find the best price!

Hi everyone! I got so much positive feedback about my manufacturer's video that I decided to make another "educational" figure video. In this video, I talk about how I buy my anime figures. I talk about my experiences with Amiami, Mandarake, Solaris Japan, Tokyo Otaku Mode (TOM), Crunchyroll, FUNimation, Good Smile US, and KotoUS. All of these websites guarantee authentic anime figures. I also talk about the different shipping options available on each site and the costs and delivery speed associated with each one (with examples). I also talk about what methods are currently available from each retailer due to shipping restrictions.

I hope you learn a little from this video! Thanks for watching!

WEBSITES MENTIONED (with timestamps)
0:00 - 1:22 Intro
~Japanese Retailers~
1:23 - 11:48 Amiami: https://www.amiami.com/eng/
11:49 - 15:38 Mandarake: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/?...
15:39 - 16:56 Solaris Japan: https://solarisjapan.com/
16:57 - 18:08 Tokyo Otaku Mode: https://otakumode.com/
** I recently Pre-ordered some figures from TOM (after filming this video) and they let me pick between EMS and Surface parcel at checkout. Since EMS isn't available to Canada right now I'm assuming they would hold my order until it is. Surface parcel was free for my pre-order but it will take 1-4 months.
~American Retailers~
18:09 - 20:32 Crunchyroll: https://store.crunchyroll.com/
20:33 - 21:31 FUNimation: https://shop.funimation.com/

22:51 - 25:53 KotoUS: https://www.kotous.com/
25:53 - 26:48 end
**Correction: In the video, I say that Koto sent the bill for customs but it was actually FedEx that sent the $74 bill
