Shop by Manufacturer
Who made a figure decides almost everything about it: whether it is articulated, whether it was sold at retail or won from a Japanese arcade crane game, and roughly what it should cost. Yukizi tracks 18 manufacturers, of which 3 currently have products listed — Funko (22), Maayan Publications (5) and FuRyu (2). Each manufacturer page explains what that company is known for, where it is based, and which of its pieces are in stock.

Figure manufacturers explained
Does the manufacturer of an anime figure matter?⌄
Yes, more than the licence does for price. A Banpresto or Sega prize figure of a character costs a fraction of a Good Smile or Alter scale figure of the same character, because prize figures are produced for Japanese arcade distribution at a lower cost per unit. Neither is a fake — they are different products at different price points.
What is the difference between a prize figure and a retail figure?⌄
Prize figures — from Banpresto, Sega, Taito and FuRyu — were originally distributed through crane games in Japanese arcades rather than sold in shops. They carry no stated scale, use simpler paint applications, and cost considerably less. Retail scale figures from Good Smile, Alter, Kotobukiya or MegaHouse state a scale, come in larger boxes and carry more paint and sculpt work.
