Guide to buying figures on Taobao

Differentiating genuine and bootlegs. The sellers are quite honest about them, it's up to you to read and understand item description.



Certificate of Authenticity

正版 means genuine. Yeah u can include that term into your search for a figure. figure ＝ 手办

Overlord in Chinese eh.  It's a challenge in the aspect, to find Chinese names of some anime. Overlord is literally 霸王 in Chinese but this term is also in reference to certain street fighter characters, and that's also the name of the dinosaur T rex. You u might get irrelevant results sometimes.

For characters with certain Japanese names u can type in the 'Chinese part' of the Japanese name directly which can be partial or the entire full name. For example, Megumi Kato figure u can search 加藤恵 手办 directly.

The problem with Chinese as a language, one single word or phrase can have multiple meanings. Sometimes the translation from English is also weird or doesn't make sense.

Later when I'm free I'll probably list figure company names in Chinese too. Not all figure companies have a Chinese name. For example Banpresto is 眼镜厂 in Chinese. Literally "Eyeglasses factory" maybe because the logo looks like eyeglasses. This made it very easy for me to look for prize figures, for example.

By the way, I have updated the first post of this thread.

Taobao purchase guide added.
Hottest figures of 2018 (at the moment) added. I made sure to put in expensive ones for the first three.

Ah, too early. She's due release in April (possibly with additional delays)

Don't ever use shipping method that don't have tracking. Might be ok for domestic shipping but for international shipping it's a very big no-no.

Theoretically speed difference and Saturday delivery for Priority, but sometimes it's same, I tried receiving their delivery during Saturday ( half day work) even I used Economy. Fedex usually departs very fast from Japan. Today ship out, tmr might arrive. Just that it might take some time to clear at kastam. Also beware of tax as FedEx tax rate higher. Kastam have ANOTHER sheet of shipping price which is 5 times higher than what u actually charged and paid for. (Shipping rate which starts from RM2xx)
Even ur shipper declared the courier charges, they will still ignore it and recalculate. (Every single oversea FedEx is using the same shipping rate, kastam still use the "OFFICIAL" FedEx shipping rate shown at FedEx website, which is VERY expensive. I believe they received tons of complaint about it) Who the hell will charge customer cheap shipping price if they pay high shipping fee. RM 60 vs RM300 lol..

Ended up ur parcel total value being "JACKED UP". Tried contacting FedEx local before but no solution for this GHOST issue.

XL-shop, but they aren't cheap.
