What does "officially licensed" mean for a collectable?

It means the manufacturer has permission from the franchise owner to produce the figure, so it's made to an approved standard rather than copied. Licensed pieces have accurate sculpting, clean paintwork and proper packaging. Buying licensed protects both the quality and the resale value compared with a bootleg.

What's the difference between a figure and a statue?

The terms overlap, but "statue" usually means a larger, fixed-pose premium display piece, while "figure" covers everything from small prize figures to articulated models. Scale matters more than the label — check the listed height and scale so you know how big the piece actually is before ordering.

Why are some collectables pre-order only?

Premium figures are often made in limited runs and sold by pre-order months ahead, so the maker only produces what's ordered. Once that run ships and sells out, it isn't restocked. If you want a limited piece at retail price, ordering during the pre-order window is usually the only way.

How do I avoid buying a fake or bootleg figure?

Buy from a reputable retailer, check for official licensing marks, and look closely at the paintwork and packaging in the listing — bootlegs tend to have messy paint, off proportions and poor boxes. Prices far below the going rate are a warning sign. Buying locally from Evetech removes the guesswork.

How should I display and protect my collection?

Keep figures out of direct sunlight and away from heat, since both fade paint and yellow plastic over time. A glass or acrylic case keeps dust and accidental knocks off. Hang on to the original box and inserts — they protect the piece during a move and help if you ever resell.

Are anime and gaming collectables available locally in South Africa?

Yes — Evetech carries officially licensed collectables with local stock and nationwide delivery, so you skip the long shipping times, import duties and bootleg risk of ordering figures from overseas. Availability changes as limited runs sell out, so check the current range on this page.

What scale figure should I buy for a desk versus a shelf?

Smaller figures and stylised lines suit a desk or compact space, while 1/8 and 1/7 scale statues are larger display pieces that need a proper shelf or cabinet. Always check the listed height before buying so the piece fits where you plan to put it.

Do collectables come with any warranty or returns cover?

Collectables bought from Evetech are covered by local consumer protection and our returns process, so a piece that arrives damaged or faulty is handled here rather than through an overseas seller. Inspect figures on delivery and keep the packaging until you're satisfied with the item.

All Collectables

Anime & Gaming Collectables 🎎

These are officially licensed collectables from anime and video-game franchises — character figures, detailed statues and limited-edition merch made by recognised manufacturers. Officially licensed pieces are sculpted and painted to a standard that bootleg copies don't match, with accurate proportions, clean paintwork and proper packaging. That licensing is what protects both the quality and the long-term value of what you're collecting.

Figures come in different scales and styles, from affordable prize-style figures to large premium statues, so check the size, scale and material before you buy — a 1/7 scale statue is a serious shelf piece, while smaller figures suit a desk. Limited editions are produced in capped runs and sell out, so popular pieces are often pre-order only. Buy what you genuinely like to display rather than purely as an investment.

Evetech carries officially licensed collectables with local stock and nationwide delivery, so you avoid the long waits, import duties and bootleg risk of ordering figures from overseas. Browse the range below, check each piece's scale and edition, and grab limited runs early before they sell out.

How to Choose & Care for Collectables

A good collectable is one you'll enjoy displaying, made by an official manufacturer so the quality holds up. Before buying, look at the scale, the material, whether it's a limited edition, and how you'll keep it looking good once it's on the shelf. The guide below covers what separates a piece worth owning from a disappointing one.

Officially licensed figures come from recognised manufacturers, carry licensing marks and have clean, accurate paintwork and proper retail packaging. Bootlegs are usually cheaper, with sloppy paint, wrong proportions and poor boxes. Buying from a reputable local retailer like Evetech is the simplest way to be sure you're getting the genuine article.

Scale tells you roughly how big a figure is — a 1/7 or 1/8 scale statue is a large, detailed display piece, while 1/10 and smaller are more compact. Stylised lines like chibi-proportioned figures are small and cute rather than to scale. Check the listed height so the piece fits your shelf and your expectations before ordering.

Many premium figures are made in limited runs and sold by pre-order months before they ship, then never restocked. If a piece you want is open for pre-order, securing it early is often the only way to get it at retail. Once a run sells out, the only option is the second-hand market, usually at a premium.

Keep figures out of direct sunlight, which fades paint and yellows plastic over time, and away from heat. A glass or acrylic display case cuts dust and protects from knocks. Keep the original box and any inserts — they protect the piece if you move and matter for resale value.

Some limited pieces hold or grow in value once they sell out, but most do not, and prices are unpredictable. Treat any future value as a bonus, not the reason to buy. The reliable payoff is enjoying a well-made piece on display, so collect what you actually love rather than chasing resale profit.
