visvim（ビズビム） is a high-end Japanese fashion label founded in 2000 by designer Hiroki Nakamura, known for its obsession with materials and traditional Japanese craftsmanship. New pieces are sold only at the Harajuku flagship, the brand's F.I.L stores and a handful of authorized shops, so Japan's secondhand market has become the main hunting ground for fans worldwide.
METAL BUILD（メタルビルド） is the flagship line of TAMASHII NATIONS, the high-end brand of BANDAI SPIRITS. Each figure combines a die-cast metal frame with precision paintwork, turning Gundam mobile suits into collector-grade pieces that are complete right out of the box. Most releases are sold through Tamashii Web pre-orders or lottery sales only, so they rarely reach regular retail. For overseas fans a Japan proxy shopping service is the most direct way to get them.
BE@RBRICK（ベアブリック） is a bear-shaped collectible figure series from Japanese toy maker MEDICOM TOY, founded in 1996. The base 100% size stands about 7cm tall, with larger 400% (about 28cm) and 1000% versions, and there is an endless stream of collaborations with films, artists and musicians. Many of these releases are sold only through official channels in Japan, so for overseas fans a Japan proxy shopping service is the most direct way to get them.
