Why Do You Sell Only Licensed Items?

We love anime just like you and so we support the creators and companies to ensure that all our favorite shows will keep on running.

Did you know that if you buy bootleg item, the money you spend on it, will never reach the creators and studios behind your favorite anime.

Licensed merchandise is manufactured using safe high quality materials and quality checks are mad by the license holders – a process that is not part of bootleg manufacture.

Support your favorite anime creators by buying only official and licensed merchandise.

Where are you based?

Animetal is a UK based business with warehouses in London, Osaka and Europe. Even though we operate online we also exhibit in shows and cons around UK and Europe. You can find latest information about the shows we attend on our web site.

Where are the figures imported from?

In order to ensure the quality of our products we import most of our figures directly from Japan since 2007.

The rest of the items that we have in stock are outsourced through official distributors that have been approved by the manufacturing Japanese companies only. This allows us to stock rare and discontinued figures, some of which are 10-20 years of age, as well as the newest items that comes to the market.

 

 

 

Do you do wholesale?

We offer wholesale on a wide selection of products, including contact lenses, Japanese haoris and figures. Please get in touch for more information.

I don’t see the figure I am looking for. Can you get it for me?

Since we import figures from Japan on a monthly basis, we can place a request for your unique figure.

Please get in touch for no commitment to buy quote for a figure you are looking for. No matter how old or rare it is – we would love the challenge!
