#5 In Figma we trust

There's a lot of interesting toys and hobbies that you can find in Japan... one of them revolves around collecting figures from well known lines such as Nendoroid or Figma. As they can be rather or small or not likely to leave a big impression, depending on what kind of figure you're looking at they can range anywhere from $30-$500 (the average price is just about $58 actually).

Why would these insignificant figures charge such a high a price to begin with? It goes beyond reason to spend that much money on any of these, let alone collecting them. However, with the craze that begins in Japan and spreads across the globe like wildfire, reason is something that gets thrown out the window pretty often.

Essentially these figures are based off of popular anime, manga, vocaloid, almost anything you can find in the world of 2-D.

This is a Saber (suit version) figure, from the popular anime "Fate Zero"
