A subreddit for the discussion of figures from anime, manga, and Japanese-style media.

What its rules say about promotion

Do not promote illegal activity
Bootlegs are harmful to the industry, so we do not want to support them. Posts containing bootlegs, bootleg garage kits ("recasts"), or unlicensed figures, advocating for their purchase or links for purchasing them will be subject to removal. Discussion of customs or tax evasion are also not permitted. If making a bootleg report, please note which item you think is not authentic, particularly in large group photos.
No solicitation
No "looking to buy" posts. You can ask for help finding an item online, but do not solicit other users or ask if anyone is selling. Please do not make sales offers to other users unless you have an active sale post. Do not post or ask for referral links in the subreddit (this includes Otaku Mode's invite links). Retailer social media: Direct marketing from retailer accounts is not allowed.
Don't spam
Excessive spam of news posts (or 'normal' non-news posts) over a short period of time will be removed. Announcement posts are limited to one per hour (60 minutes). Use digest posts during events. You can post reviews or link to your own blog, but you must participate in the community. A high ratio of comments to the subreddit versus self-promoting links is recommended. Posts with very specific questions ("Should I buy Figure A or Figure B?") may be subject to removal after being answered.

This includes but is not limited to: Memes, reaction images, photos of unopened shipping boxes, pre-order screenshots. Figures must be the primary subject of images, including collection photos. Tangential and/or off-topic discussions may be removed at our discretion. Discussions of the source anime should go to /r/anime or series-specific subreddits.

What the written rules don't show

  • Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
  • Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
  • The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
