Hello – I’m a Bishoujo statue collector based in the UK, and this site started for a pretty simple reason: I wanted a place to celebrate these statues properly.
Bishoujo statues sit at a great intersection of pop culture, illustration, and sculptural art. The designs, the artists behind them, the way a line evolves over time – that’s the stuff that keeps collecting interesting, not just ticking boxes or chasing releases.
I also know first-hand that collecting from the UK comes with its own challenges. Most of the market focus is on Japan and the US, which can make buying feel confusing, expensive, or risky if you’re not sure where to look. So alongside celebrating the statues themselves, this site will share practical advice on where to buy from the UK, how to spot fakes, what to watch out for with pre-orders, and how to make confident purchasing decisions.
I will be reviewing places I have purchased from personally – I may use affiliate links to refer to their sites but I will also be honest in my appraisal of their services. In short, my opinion is not for sale. I will also sometimes use 3rd party review sites to provide you with additional testimony for particular companies that I feel are trustworthy and also those you should perhaps think twice about dealing with.
I also buy from eBay sellers and will list those that I’ve dealt with on the same basis as the online shops.
This isn’t a shop – it’s a collector’s space. A place to talk about the art, the artists, the lines, and the realities of collecting Bishoujo statues from this side of the world.
If you collect too, I hope you feel like you’ve come to the right place.
