COLLECTOR'S PRIDE, BUYER'S PASSION



The Omocha House Story

In December 2011, my wife and I visited Taiwans Xi Men Ding shopping district. We went into a shop that was full of anime collectibles and related merchandises.

Being an anime fan, it felt like heaven to be inside that shop surrounded by figurines and all sorts of collectibles. That was the very first time we actually really came into contact with these anime figurines and stuffs, I got to learn about the various figure series such as Portrait of Pirates, Figuarts Zero, Banpresto, Megahouse and etc. I almost wanted to buy a Thousand Sunny model but eventually due to luggage constraints, I had to give up the idea.

Back in Singapore, I bought my very first figure from ebay; a Figuarts Zero (New World Ver) Monkey.D.Luffy (I am a hard core One Piece fan!). However, being a rookie for the first time buying, it turned out to be a bootleg (term used for fake figurines)!
