About FigureAnt
I’m Anthony — a lifelong 1/6-scale junkie who finally got tired of paying U-S reseller mark-ups and wondering whether the store I just clicked on was run by a bot. My best friend Hao (we met trading Hot Toys customs on a forum back in 2015) lives a subway stop from Guangzhou’s figure alley and has an actual handshake with several of the indie workshops that pump out the runs we all chase. Together we cut the middle-men:
- Factory-direct pre-orders. Hao locks in allocation the day a drop is announced; I handle stateside shipping and QC when the cartons land.
- No-stress deposits. Every pre-order is 100 % refundable right up until the run is finalized with the studio. Change your mind? Hit reply and I send the money back — no forms, no drama.
- Real humans on the other side. The site’s small because it’s literally just the two of us: Hao on the China side, me in Boston packing boxes at night. Email, Discord, or the contact form — I answer within 24 h (usually faster).
- Transparency > hype. Lead times, factory delays, box dings — you hear the good and the bad in plain English. I’m a collector first, seller second.
If you ever feel something’s off, reach out. I’ll fix it or refund it — simple as that.
Thanks for giving FigureAnt a shot and keeping the hobby fun.
