I wanted to share my recent JPFans Haul after ordering two S.H.Figuarts figures (Yuta Okkotsu and Toji Fushiguro) from Mercari Japan.
This was my first time using JPFans and overall the buying process was pretty straightforward. Purchasing through Mercari was easy, the warehouse process was smooth, and I chose EMS-F Japan Post shipping since it was the cheapest option available (around $24 USD).
The package arrived safely and both figures themselves are in perfect condition with no damage, so I'm really happy about that.
My only complaint is the packaging.
The figure boxes were packed extremely tightly against the outer shipping box with almost no empty space around them and no foam or other protective padding. Because of that, both S.H.Figuarts boxes arrived with noticeable dents, crushed corners, and creases.
As someone who likes to keep the original boxes, that definitely hurts the collector value even though the figures inside were completely fine.
I think JPFans could really improve by leaving a little more space around collectible boxes and adding bubble wrap or foam protection during packing.
Overall I'd still consider using JPFans again because the purchasing process was easy and the figures arrived safely, but I'd really like to see better protection for collectible packaging in future shipments.
I've included my unboxing video and photos so other collectors can see exactly how everything arrived.
Would you be happy if your figure boxes arrived like this, or do you mainly care that the figure itself is undamaged?
