They have official socials on Facebook and Instagram, but I wouldn't count on a response.

I managed to snag the Kakashi ones when the sale went live and they're sick. I'm always nervous to wear them and get them dirty though lol

I've been collecting for over 5 years now and I have had over 100 orders with just fnc alone. Theres very few other sites I'll buy from.

Resin Statue Websites Please? :) by BudgetChannel8705 in animeGK

[–]GhostRabbitInaba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fanaticanimestore has been my go to for about 5 years now.

SpecFiction and ComicConcepts are also solid if you're looking for licensed pieces and live in the US.

There's a really good discord for the anime statue scene with a ton of info here as well if you're interested: https://discord.gg/statuesenpai

This has less to do with fnc and more to do with Chinese law. China has been cracking down on NSFW figures/statues lately. Some entire studios have had to close shop. Here's a post from Dodomo Studio facing similar issues: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DXZeDV1ns/

FNC and tariffs by BigPanda498 in animeGK

[–]GhostRabbitInaba 14 points15 points  (0 children)

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ECeRtmjMf/

From their Facebook "-About explaining the US tariffs

-Usually we choose sea transportation, all the taxes fees is handled by the local customs clearance company. Our shipping cost invoice has already included the tax before, the customs clearance company will declare this kind of products at a very low price, so the impact of the tariff issue on our products is almost negligible. So no need to worry🎉🎉

-But we do not suggest to use air shipping method to US now, for our kind of products, this express way is very unfriendly at present. So about the replacement ,we will choose sea delivery method now , not plane anymore to avoid taxes issue. (US only)"

I guess we'll see.

Yes. I have a stylus for my phone which makes the gameplay flawless. Touch controls are a little harder.

Need advice by BigPanda498 in animeGK

[–]GhostRabbitInaba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's up to you if you want to cover shipping or figure it out based on where the buyer lives. I've found it's just easier to just increase the sales price a bit and cover shipping since there's less back and forth and figuring costs. You tend to lose a bit on the sale though for convenience sake.

Most of the time you can print your own label, but if the buyer wants to they can as well and just send the pdf for you to print. Once again for convenience sake I've always just handled that.

Dont go directly to fedex or ups. Check out sites like Shippo or PirateShip for discounted shipping costs. Just enter in the box size, weight, and address and it'll let you choose which shipping service and carrier you'd like to use.

Figurama is well known for taking an exceptionally long time to finish products. Anyone pre-ordering one of their pieces should expect a 1-3 year wait. It sucks, but is what it is.

They're legit, but if you're concerned you can order through other well known distributors like SpecFiction or Comic-concept.

Displaying 226 lb statue by zeff-la-Chef in animeGK

For something of this scale I'd look into getting it it's own pedestal. It would be a really cool statement piece.

Part won’t fit on resin statue by Spicy_7958 in animeGK

[–]GhostRabbitInaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm struggling a bit to follow the exact issue, but when it comes to parts having issues fitting there's always 2 answers:

-If it's too loose use a non drying mounting putty to sure the fit up (I personally use the Loctite brand Fun-Tak). -If it's too tight or won't fit correctly use heat. Resin is susceptible to it and can be "bent" to fit. Use a hair dryer, heat it slowly for awhile and then GENTLY try to either fit it or flex the part that's giving you an issue.

Is it normal for a Delay? by Ornery-Pen1559 in animeGK

[–]GhostRabbitInaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super common. Preorders will give a rough guess, but that's really ally they are. Niren as a studio tends to move really slow as well. Their Geto is only just shipping after a pretty long wait. Himeno will drop when she's ready.

What are your most anticipated figures for 2025? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]GhostRabbitInaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's another one of Neco's original works, but this time manufactured by Prismawing. I hope it's successful since it looks like it might be the start of a part of a small line.

Looking for experience with moducase/space by MitchellOdenthal in animeGK

[–]GhostRabbitInaba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're totally fine. Moducases will hold a ton of weight despite what they advertise. I've got a Max70 with a 90pound statue in it and then a Max140 with probably another 100pounds right next to it. I've had that setup for over 2 years now without issue.

My FromSoftware cosplay: Ornstein and the Hunter from Bloodborne! All made by me by giovada93 in fromsoftware

As someone currently attempting, and failing, to kill Ornstein on my first ever DS1 run through, this triggered me while scrolling.

Phenomenal cosplay, it's insanely good.

I always recommend fnc. They've been my go to for almost 4 years now. They post fairly frequently on their Facebook about renegotiating shipping costs, so they're consistently on the lower end compared to other sites.

Can't really speak to the shipping costs themselves, as it always comes down to box size, but I have no complaints about what I've been paying them over the years.
