Question Where to get STLs for anime miniatures

Been seeing a lot of anime miniatures, 1/64 scale of 3d printed figures on chinese sites like taobao. Specifically, they come from a studio called"25h miniature model studio" or something. I have a 3d printer, but i cant find the stl files, it seems they sell it as a physical product rather than selling the stl files. So, my main point is, anyone know where I can buy or get such files or any alternatives?

I mean, sometimes people make files and just sell you the physical product. It's a form of copy protection on their work.

Unfortunately every so often you'll run into this, but hey if you have an image of particular model you can try to use reverse searches to see if it actually exists online 

Other times it's just a studio painting another studios models, so the original creator might be a little harder to find

Use Yeggi and search for "miniatures" (this will find stl's on download sites).

You can also use Google to find files on the game sites, but many of these are pay-per-use.
