Buying Guides

2025 is shaping up to be a legendary year for anime figure collectors. With Zenless Zone Zero dominating the charts and Arknights delivering emotional peaks, the merchandise lineup is nothing short of spectacular.

But here is the harsh reality of the hobby: Hesitation leads to inflation. We've all experienced the pain of seeing a figure triple in price on the aftermarket because we missed the pre-order window. Today, we are breaking down the "Future Grails"—items that are available for pre-order right now and are guaranteed to be the centerpieces of your collection next year.

"Don't wait for the 'Sold Out' notification. Securing your pre-order today is the only way to guarantee these masterpieces at retail price."

1. The Apex Predator: Ellen Joe 1/7 Scale Figure (ZZZ)

New Eridu's favorite shark maid is finally getting the premium treatment she deserves. As one of the breakout stars of Zenless Zone Zero, Ellen Joe's first scale figure is a must-have.

Why It's Worth The Wait

This isn't just a static pose; it captures Ellen's fluid combat style perfectly. The sculpting on her shark tail features a pearlescent finish that mimics the texture of her in-game model, while the base incorporates elements of the Victoria Housekeeping Co. aesthetic. It’s a dynamic freeze-frame of the Sharkami kick.

2. A Legend Returns: Kal'tsit "The Pilgrim" Ver. 1/7 (Arknights)

For Doctors who have been with Rhodes Island since the beginning, this figure hits differently. Based on the "Remnant" outfit series, this captures Kal'tsit in her most mysterious and elegant form.

Why It's Worth The Wait

The "Pilgrim" outfit is rich in lore, and this figure executes it flawlessly. Pay attention to the translucent materials used in her outer layers, which give her an ethereal, almost ghostly presence. Unlike her default outfit figures, this one exudes a quiet, ancient power that serves as a perfect centerpiece for any Arknights shrine.

3. The Fallen Angel: Sunday Nendoroid (Honkai: Star Rail)

The head of the Oak Family, the dream master, the brother. Sunday is perhaps the most complex "antagonist" we've faced in Penacony, and his popularity is skyrocketing.

Why It's Worth The Wait

Characters like Sunday often have uncertain merchandise futures. Securing his Nendoroid now ensures you can reunite him with his sister, Robin, on your shelf. The chibi form softens his stern demeanor, making him surprisingly adorable while retaining his biblically accurate angel motifs.

4. The Abyss Calls: Skirk Themed Game Controller (Genshin Impact)

Why just collect when you can play? This limited edition gift box combines the mysterious aesthetics of Skirk with high-performance gaming hardware.

Why It's Worth The Wait

This is a functional collectible. The controller features a custom colorway inspired by the quantum void and Skirk's character design. It's not just for display; it's built for precision input across PC and mobile, allowing you to explore Teyvat *with* the power of the Abyss in your hands.

Please check our specific cancellation policy on the product page. Generally, pre-orders secure your slot in the production line, so we encourage committing only when you are sure.

When exactly will I receive my item?
