Hi everyone,
I just bought a figure from Japan (Around RM200~ including shipping)
My parcel just arrived in Malaysia last week. However I was a bit confused with the tracking number.

The one on Japanese tracking said already returned from kastam

However on Pos Malaysia display processed at KLIA

Anyone encounter this issue before  ? sad.gif

yeah there's nothing to worry about here. i'd just focus on pos malaysia tracking once the item entered japan

a question here for figure collectors.

do we need to keep those figure boxes? apparently hardcore collectors do keep them but i don't really understand why they still keep them in boxes instead of displaying them at a glass shelf?
*
most collectors keep the figure boxes bc it's easier for them in case they need to sell the figures or move elsewhere in the future.
as for leaving them in a box instead of displaying, that's just a matter of preference. some ppl like their figures in boxes, while others like
displaying them.

Displaying is always nicer...

But.... i dont like the dust it attracts...

Also... I thougth of resellign them to clear some collection... BUT... dun know how to go about it.. probably gonna be more hassle than I would like..
*
personally i prefer displaying my figures too. i can't enjoy the details if they are trapped in their figure boxes.
you can always display them in the glass display or bookshelves with doors to keep them safe from dust.
try selling your collection at carousell if you want less hassle since you can ship them locally.

Hi Sifutachi,

I have a question, I am planning to purchase this cast-off figure:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


this is my first time buying from Amiami. The item will be tagged as "merchandise" by AmiAmi and the price will probably be more than MYR500.

will the item get held by customs? will they check my item? Will I be able to get them back if confiscated?

Usually I just buy from SolarisJapan, can write lower value on the box. (´▽`)
*
hi did buy this figure from amiami?? i need to know if your figure is safe. recently bought a figure that shows too much skin so i'm a bit worried.
not about the tax, used to that but the confiscation.

I don't see much reason to hold a figurine, even if it is as you say, lewd. Unless there's a specific law for that, which I don't know. I can't say if Poslaju can bypass the inspection.. maybe?
this is what confuses me, like how the hell are they able to confiscate the figures? i wonder if there is a specific law regarding that.
i just know they confiscate everything they deem sexual. but how sexy is too sexy? is bunny figures sexual? how about a bikini/swimsuit with
a non-lewd pose?? hmm

bunny is not (source: I bought 3 and never once got confiscated), lewd figurine however have very suggestive pose and often their breast/under are exposed and not covered, this kind will get confiscated
*
oh interesting. thanks for your feedback. did those bunny figure purchases taxed by customs? and did the officers open your parcel boxes?
would you say swimsuit/bikini figures with non-lewd pose safe from confiscation? since there is no actual nudity or sexual pose in this case

They will not confiscate anything, they will just hold it and return it to sender.

And yes, the standards are arbitrary, see the officer's level of tolerance and/or mood
*
they did confiscate the lewd figures. happened to few collector here in the past

Their "consfiscate" means they are suppose to resend back to sender.

I had that experience with some more... dangerous banned product... they require a letter of release form relevant authorities or they return to sender.
*
interesting experience. i just know from other collectors that some of the lewds figure they decided 'haram' definitely not being send back. bc if send back there are still chance to redeliver the figure. those officers want to make sure you'll never own them so they'll dispose of them. this was looong time ago tho, so who knows they probably have changed their way since then.

My figurine purchase was never 'lucky' to dodge custom inspection, so always tax by custom, whether did they open and check I can't be sure but I think most of the time they did and reseal it with new tape
swim wear figure will not be stopped as well, lewd figure is those figure that when u look at it u can tell 100% this is a haram product kind
*
you can tell if it's opened and resealed. there'd be a tape on the parcel saying it's opened. i had a few of those in the past but nothing nsfw in
any of the boxes so i just got taxed like usual. so as long as there's no actual nudity i'm safe?

Yes, I did preorder the figure, but it hasn't been released yet. The release date is in July. I will do a follow up once the figure has been released and if the figure managed to get past the customs.

thank you for doing this! hopefully yours pass kastam!

Been a while since my last purchase (2021), I was debating on getting this one as I pretty much already stopped this hobby due to high prices and lack of space. Yesterday when I saw a B/B grade going on sale on Amiami, and after doing some calculations with the current exchange rate + shipping, I realised it came up to barely below RM500 so I won't get taxed. After a short chat with a friend, I took the plunge and placed my order.
*
good choice she is a nice addition to your collection. i love this kizuna figure so much i preordered her back in 2020.
i'm in the same boat too rn not buying much bc i'm running out of space :|

I plan to buy a 1/4 FREEing figure (usada pekora) directly from Goodsmileshop global, only 2000 yen shipping.

Does anyone have experience with goodsmileshop ordering figures >RM500 recently, will it get held by customs? They usually ship with EMS.
*
if the total of the figure + shipping is more than RM500, then yes, you'll be taxed.

looking at shops at MV or other shopping complex - expensive af

if you're trying to buy scales no matter what shop you go they'll still be expensive.
i suggest buying prize figures if you want them cheap

bro.. care to explain whats prize figures?
*
sure no prob are you a new collector? prize figure usually can be won in crane games, so their quality is made to be lower than scales.
some of them get a standard release but not all.
