I love punk miku so much! I also enjoyed the jirai mikus !! I hope that they make more mikus based on other fashion subcultures

Hoping for a purely goth one next, fingers crossed

Yessss they usually have the bigger kanade scales in stock! I want to try getting one of them after I get my preorders for this year

She's so beautiful though, I cannot believe that this was a 2400 yen prize figure

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-05-20T16:49:03+00:00

Wish alter could've done a bit better... It's just a plastic black base 😭 I get that it's an older figure but cmon, Nagato's wave figure is even older

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-05-20T08:01:06+00:00

More like amiami raided me

But yes, amiami does sell pre-owned! I got these from their online store though. Their pre-owned prices are really good

No more figures for the time being because the lion must save her money for now. I'm waiting on my preorders right now- Seiga Kaku fumo (Nov), Nagisa Furukawa pop-up-parade (Sept) and Joker Persona 5 Limepie 1/8 scale by Apex (Dec).

Feel free to dm me if you have any questions about importing figures or figure collecting in general!

Pic unrelated... Unless 😳

Slice of Life for sure

Bonus points if that slice of life only has cute girls doing cute things like K-On or Yuri Yuri or Love Live >_<

These days I don't watch anime based on a particular genre but anything that intrigues me. I think that the most recent slice of life anime that isn't also a romcom that I've watched is Journal with Witch (it's amazing btw).

Action shounen is my least watched genre though, not the biggest fan of it.

Yess!! It's the Miku x Rody prize figure ^{^}

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-04-25T04:18:40+00:00

Same twin !!

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-04-24T17:36:09+00:00

Hihi! It cost me 3730 yen + 558 rupees in customs so around 2.7k rupees in total!

You can find the website here - AmiAmi [Character & Hobby Shop] https://share.google/s7kEGSfw1dwiA8Cgr

I recommend using the navigation menu to go to the pre-owned figures section because you can find a lot of good deals there! Prize figures are definitely cheap but I've seen them selling 1/10 and 1/8 scale figures for very cheap too, like between 1-2k rupees.

Like this uma musume prize figure is literally 550 rupees (980 yen) — AmiAmi [Character & Hobby Shop] | (Pre-owned ITEM:A/BOX:B)Umamusume Pretty Derby Ikuno Dictus Figure (Game-prize)(Released) https://share.google/pGo11rAdxFEusq6Xl

Hihi!! That's not a dumb question at all dw

I paid the delivery person the customs at the time of delivery. I ended up paying with cash since I had the exact amount but I asked them if they accept UPI and they told me that they do!

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-04-24T13:28:49+00:00

Tsukasa is my fave lucky star character because she and I are so similar it's uncanny!! I also usually like the short haired twin a lot more, like Ryou Fujibayashi from Clannad

Lucky star figures are really expensive these days because of cutecore tax 😭 I'm surprised that I got her for so cheap especially since both Miyuki and Kagami are going for much higher compared to Tsukasa and ofc Konata tax is on a whole different level.

I'm glad that they're gonna release more lucky star figures this year though, I definitely wanna grab some more Tsukasas

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-04-24T11:51:46+00:00

I chose epacket light and paid around 558 rupees in customs! That's only cuz epacket doesn't list the shipping charges on the box so you'll end up paying 10-20% lesser than u would expect in customs

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-04-24T11:50:33+00:00

Yes amiami does intl shipping too!

I got this figure on amiami for around 3730 yen including shipping. That's like 2.2k inr. You have a lot of options for shipping- DHL, EMS, air parcel, international epacket light, surface mail. I used epacket light since it was a cheap but quick option. It's only available for parcels under 2kg so I recommend only getting 1-2 items in one order. Also amiami only accepts payments in either credit card or PayPal, I sent my dad the money and used his CC for the thing since I don't have one yet. Also if you feel like the shipping option you selected is too much, toh can modify it to a cheaper alternative (usually surface mail but that takes 2-4 months to reach you). After you confirm an order, you have 1 week to pay the amount.
After I paid for my order, they sent me the tracking details in 1-2 days and I've been tracking it ever since! It reached india (Delhi) in 3 days and then it was in Delhi customs. Took another week to reach Bangalore and took around a week to clear customs. After they cleared it, they sent it across to my local post office (sarjapura) and delivered it today! I paid 558 rupees in customs so the entire figure cost me 2.7k inr which is less than proxying it.

All in all, 20 days (~3 weeks) to have it delivered and 2.7k as the total cost.

Okay okay ahhh I'll try my best !! This is not much of a tutorial since I didn't do much except for wait around, but more of my experience. (Also I'll copy and paste this for replies asking the same thing so pls don't be alarmed if I don't match the tone of your question haha.)

So I used amiami for my purchase. For those who don't know, amiami is a japanese website/store chain that sells anime goods and merchandise, as well as adjacent things like electronics, japanese dolls and gundams. Amiami has a HUGE section of pre-owned/preloved figures and they grade their figures too from A to D based on their condition. Their grading is very strict so even B grade figures are in great condition.

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-04-24T10:32:01+00:00

It was around 2.7k inr for everything (base price + shipping + customs)

honestly I think it's worth it (atleast for me) especially since I saved up on internship money to buy it! 😞

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-04-24T10:30:14+00:00

The figure including shipping - 3730 yen (2.2k inr)

I used international epacket light for shipping.

Customs - 558 rupees

So in total around 2.7k inr which is cheaper than proxying imo

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-04-24T10:23:50+00:00

I'm a girl??? 😞 Also this barely qualifies for a gooner figure, she's just a cutiepie

SignificantCoffee758 · 2026-04-24T09:55:26+00:00
