(no, this abbreviation is purely coincidental ;)
Now I won't claim that prize figures look better than high quality figures from Alter or similar, but think about it. A single HQ figure is eight (or more) times more expensive than a prize figure, but does it really look eight times that good? I don't think so.
Of course there are some prize figures which look pretty derpy, but the same can also be said of higher prized scale figures. Derpiness with a high price tag isn't rare, and then there are even high prized scale figures who make scales look better by comparison. *cough*Griffon*cough*
Anyway, if you also think you'll get much more bang for the buck with prize figures and think that they're under-appreciated, welcome to the club!

You can look at online Japanese sites that have used figures for sale, like amiami or mandarake. They sell prize figures like the ones here, often in new (unopened) condition.
Risenfromashfig • 6 years ago • #18992226I am new to anime figure collecting and got several prize figures as part of a lot of misc. figures I bought. I was impressed by their quality, but am confused about how people not in Japan can get their hands on prize figures. Do they get snatched up and imported? Do you have to get lucky and find a Japanese collector who has duplicates? How does this work? Thanks for explaining this to the newb. :)
