Are prize figures cheaper than scale figures?

Yes. Because prize figures are produced in large runs rather than limited editions, they cost noticeably less than scale figures of the same character. They're the budget-friendly way to collect, trading rarity and size for an accessible price.

Who makes prize figures?

They come from Japan's major prize labels, including SEGA, Banpresto, Taito and Bandai Spirits. These makers supply figures originally distributed through arcade crane games and prize lotteries, which is where the "prize figure" name comes from.

Are prize figures good quality for the price?

For the money, yes — sculpt and paint are good on most modern prize figures, even though the runs are large. You won't get the fine detail or scale of a premium scale figure, but you get a recognisable, display-worthy figure at a fraction of the cost.

Will a prize figure go up in value over time?

Generally no. Prize figures are mass-produced, so they're meant to be enjoyed and displayed rather than treated as investments. Buy the characters you actually want rather than expecting them to appreciate.

What scale or size are prize figures?

Prize figures aren't sold to a fixed scale the way scale figures are; sizes vary by character and series, often in the smaller-to-mid range. Check the listed dimensions on each product before buying so it fits your shelf or cabinet.

Can I buy prize figures in South Africa with local warranty?

Yes. Evetech stocks prize figures locally with warranty and nationwide delivery, so you avoid overseas shipping times and import duties. Check the live stock status on each listing before ordering.

How should I store prize figures to keep them in good condition?

Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat, both of which can fade paint and warp PVC over time. A glass display cabinet protects against dust and knocks, and a soft dry cloth is all you need for cleaning.

Prize Figures — Anime & Game Collectibles 🏆

Prize figures are mass-produced anime and game figures that originated as prizes in Japanese arcade crane machines and Ichiban Kuji-style lotteries. They cover characters from popular series at a lower price than scale figures, which makes them the easiest way to start or grow a collection without spending big. Most are moulded in PVC with painted detail and a simple base or stand.

They are made by the big Japanese prize labels — SEGA, Banpresto, Taito and Bandai Spirits among them — so detail and finish are good for the money, even though the runs are large rather than limited. If you want a specific character on a budget, a prize figure is usually the value pick; if you want gallery-grade detail and size, look at scale figures instead.

Evetech stocks prize figures with local warranty and nationwide delivery, so you skip overseas shipping waits and import surprises. Browse the range below and check live stock before you buy.
