Dolls And Figures

Dolls and figures of game/manga/anime characters are serious collectibles in Japan. There is a whole hobby community that designs figures (often trying to translate to 3D the impossible figures of women from 2D manga.)

• Hobby Link Japan - http://www.hlj.com/ - explore Japanese collectibles, cards, figures and models at this site that sells them to the US.
• In my blog entry on Akihabara I write about visiting the Volks Akihabara Showroom - http://www.theoreti.ca/?p=4125
• See the Volks US web site where they sell dolls sets like the Dolfie Dream Dynamite - http://www.volksusa.com/dollfie-dream-dollfie-dream-dynamite.html
