I think I saw one of those, at the booth and the far right from where you enter.




Oh I also wished they had more Hellsing Merch, I WANT A HELLSING PATCH!!!!

I talked with one of the dealers and said that Hellsing is not as popular anymore. He also gave Naruto and Bleach like another 2-3 years.

Also An Cafe shirts, but I didn't knew what they looked like, so I didn't find any before they sold out T^T
And wished they had more CDs on visual kei groups (GazettE, LM.C, etc) Though I did saw a place selling CDs, but either didn't had any or sold out  :-\

Agreed. I was looking for a new one since my phone charm my friend made me broke; I'd saw some promo Code Geass charms on eBay, where they had a metal-looking charm of the Geass symbol and I'd hoped that I could find it around, but... no dice. :(

More music!
I only found one dealer booth through my venture (that wasn't exclusively J-rock or something), and absolutely [no] selection.
At least, for what I was looking for.
I ended up spending most my money on cool FF figurines.

I always choose an anime I really like, and dedicate myself to finding merchandise for it.
<3 Let's hope I have more luck in 2009!

seriously!
Well if Fanime gets MaruiOne items wont be so overpriced like most vendors or bootlegged =\
And Quality items, that one vender towards the back had some good stuff but yes it was exepensive but probally less compared to brand name clothes. Most US sellers sell their items lesser than the JP brands

Post by: Raymei on October 06, 2008, 01:12:55 PM
I agree Rooster Teeth would be AWESOME to have  XD  They're great! 
It would be nice to get more dealers in general.  The one thing that stood out in my mind was that most of the dealers had the same stuff as 2 or 3 more other booths.
It'd be cool to get more video game dealers, and more Star Wars stuff (especially if we do the 2009 SW gathering XD ), but I'd also like to see a J-List booth if we could get them  (they're a HUGE dealer in Japanese goods and whatnot).  I think that would be really successful at Fanime.

If I remember, that booth had dresses for $200+. I would say that compares to brand prices.

I agree with actual lolita brands, since so many cons are bringing out brands now, and Fanime seems to have a pretty strong and still growing loli scene.


We also need better music options. Not everyone wants the same VK and pop and anime OSTs as we can find every year. D:

I would really like to see a dealer with a larger selection of Jun Planning dolls (Pullip, Taeyang, Dal, etc). One seller had a couple, but they were older ones.

Valley of the Dolls is based in SoCal, it wouldn't be too hard for them to drive up for the weekend and set up a booth.

From my experience, music is one of the most costly items you would find in the dealers room.  An AKFG CD for example, went for $50 a few years back.

Busou Shinki. I wish they had that.

Also, snacks/drinks that aren't horridly over-priced. They sell ramune for close to $4 a bottle at fanime. At an asian market near my house, they sell it for about 69 cents a bottle.

Food is typically a little more pricey at cons because of location  (like food at baseball games, beer at concerts, etc), it sucks, but it's the law of "supply and demand".
With stuff like ramune and whatnot, it's going to be cheaper at Asian markets because they get it in bigger bulks (not to mention in business with delivery locations, they sometimes get discounts on the shipment costs depending on how much they order).
Dealers usually bring all their stuff by their own means, so they're essentially paying for the "shipment" (gas money, etc) and they pay to rent out the tables there as well, so they usually add to the price to make up for these costs.



But they could have some cheaper alternatives (like doritos and whatnot) to sell to those of us who are just plain hungry and not Pocky partisan.

Yeah! My friend and I were all bummed that they weren't here. Someone had even given my friend some money to buy her a hat from Gaia, or something, and it wasn't even there, which threw a wrench in the works.

I liked finding the old Final Fantasy PSone games there, though. I bought myself Final Fantasy VIII, which was the only one I didn't have. XD

I would like to see more Gurren Lagann stuff, definitely. I'd definitely go after some Kamina and Simon related items. :3

At the last possible minute they decided to add a panel, but yeah i missed he Gaia booth there too last year.   Dont think they the intention of coming around to Fanime then.  It wasn't on their con schedule and a lot of people were getting upset that they werent going to drop by.  Think all the complaints got to them ^_^ so they at least came by doing a panel.

I would just like to see more variety.  It seems like I saw the same figures, t-shirts, poster etc. everywhere I went last year.  There where some booths that had different stuff, but probably 5 or 6 booths that were just clones of each other.

Oh yeah and I really hope the corset guy is back this year, my sister REALLY wants to buy one.

COSWORX - I would freaking love it if Cosworx had a booth. or more cosplayer-oriented dealers.
A Kotobukiya booth would be awesome too.

a kotobukiya booth would be AWESOME. i love their one coin figurines but the only chance i have at getting them is when they're at japantowne, and by the time i get there, its too late!   :'(

but the thing is that.. i know kotobukiya only sells their products to retailers. which brings up 2 questions that i have.

1) do those one coin figurines ever get discontinued? (some websites say that they do not have it in stock/or it says "discountined" - does this mean they just haven't ordered anymore from kotobukiya's main site? or is it really discontinued from the time it was released? do they have reshipments and redisturbutions of one coin figurines occasionally? i kinda feel like they do with the tales series (abyss, symphonia) 

and 2) how do we go about asking retailers (that show up at cons, in person and through websites) that we would like them to order this particular series/set? i know some websites have request kind of links where we can ask them to order, but even if it says on the website that its "discontinued?" what does "discontinued" actually mean and how does a figurine go to "discontinued forever" history?

sorrie if my questions are confusing. i have alot of questions about this whole figurine retail market and im not sure wheres the best place for this thread to be.

This.

I'm tried of seeing the same merch over and over. I'm also tired of mostly seeing merch for the most popular anime out there. I want variety! I want things that aren't as well known/liked!

I've said this before, but I also like more practical items rather than figurines and such... And I would love to see more music/a better selection of music. Just the most popular artists, anime soundtracks, and various viskei/whatever that has evoled into is not nearly enough! A lot of that stuff is really marked up anyway, but sometimes you can get really good stuff for just around or under the going rate (Amano Tsukiko's Tenryu album for ~$35? I couldn't get it for that online once I factored in shipping! I just ordered ZERO, and it cost me over $40, so that's a pretty good deal, and a hint to any sellers, I still don't have A MOON CHILD IN THE SKY... ;D I'll be on the lookout), and that's what I'm looking for.

I also want more booths with really cutesy stuff. Wizzywig has a monopoly on that, I'd say, and if there was another booth like it, then I probably wouldn't have to spend as much money to get my cute stuff fix, and would have a better selection. I know, Sanrio stuff is expensive, but still...


Also, more/better loli clothes, preferably brand, even if I won't be able to afford it, please. <3

Kuroshitsuji merchandise!

Costumes/cosplay and costume accessories.

AFFORDABLE lolita garments.

Here's what I'm hoping to find at Fanime this year:

Dakimakura
Japanese anime magazines like CompAce and Comptiq, possibly some jp Newtypes since they rock (don't care if they are older or outdated I'll still buy the heck out of 'em.)
Lots of Figma and Revoltech
GOOD SMILE COMPANY GOODS!!!! (LOVE Good Smile, and they'll most likely have GSC goods anyways) and if you didn't know, GSC specializes in Nendoroids, Figma, and the like...
Possibly some Japanese Import Games? *cough*Cross of Venus sp pack*cough*
Some character song CD's
Mouse Pads!  XD
Art Books
and of course, POSTERS!

I'm going to be looking for some more practical and unique items this year. I've got a bad habit of buying loads of figures and nothing else...LOL. *cough*toyslogicIloveyou*cough. Practical Items include things like Collectibles such as character goods, things like character song cd's, dakimakura, sheets, mouse pads, art books, maybe some replicas...Man! I can't wait to hit that dealer's hall!!!!!

I've been going to Fanime since 06, and I have to say, almost all of the money I've spent at the con has been at either the swap meet or the arcade.

Seriously, the dealers room has always been the low point of Fanime for me. I usually don't find anything of interest and on the rare occasion I do find something it's outrageously expensive. I know Naruto headbands sell, but does every single dealer have to sell almost exclusively headbands and figurines and trinkets? I rarely ever see any artbooks (of interest) or rare video games/video game accessories. Most of the stuff I find in the dealers room is stuff you can quite frankly find anywhere online, and usually for a lot less than what they're charging.

The only suggestion I can really offer is to just make better choices on what dealers show up. I'd personally love to have some classic import game booth selling rare PC Engine/Mega Drive/Famicom games.

Oh, and, something else you may want to tell the dealers to bring; arcade sticks. SF4 and BlazBlue are both in high demand and most people getting those games are going to want sticks to play them on.

Dealer's hall was a lot of fun, but I only bought three Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler figures and a pencil board. I didn't see too much that I really wanted.
I really enjoyed the doll booth (even if it was pretty expensive), and the booth that sold the anime licensed jewelry and accessories, along with the lolita booths.

I would love to see:
~More male figures, like I said before in a previous post before the con. I need my bishi fix!
~Other cute Japanese items - not necessarily anime related. I love the miniature sets that come in the fortune boxes and anything cutesy! Like http://www.re-mentusa.com/index.php (http://www.re-mentusa.com/index.php), the Re-Ment miniatures. They can be quite collectible!
~More practical items? Office/school accessories, etc.
~Art supplies - Sakura, Copic, Niko-Piko etc.

I wish the Dealers Room could Import from Japan.  I have been looking very hard for obscure and not common Anime items not found in domestic anime stores.  Toradora for Example.  I hate to say this but why is it back in early 2000 I had an easy time looking for Imported Anime items compared to today? 

Are all Anime Dealers selling stuff in USA Anime Conventions afraid to Import because they think they cannot make a profit to the niche die hard Anime fan in making a sale compared to the mainstream Anime fan that will buy anime stuff based from Anime licensed in America?  I miss those days when it was very easy to find dealers that Import from Japan.  Now a days after Anime has gotten popular, dealers somehow do not care about Importing Anime Goods from Japan and would rather make a quick dollar/profit from whatever popular Anime that is airing in America.

Also seconding the Nendoroid - been searching for a Kaito for a while.

Gaia => dealers' room. Definitely.

Manga that hasn't been licensed in the US yet like Hetalia, Chrome Shelled Regios, etc.

...and a lot more that has already been listed. I'm just emphasizing the ones that I really want ;P

Hey All,

Just wanted to let you guys know that your complaints have not fallen on deaf ears! If you know of a dealer who has *unique* items fit for our Dealers room, please refer them our way to dealers[at]fanime.com.

Currently, I'm on the hunt for these types of dealers:

Trying to convince new dealers to attend FanimeCon is no easy task as they need to consider if this trip will make or break their bank. Aside from having to pay for their booth fees ($670-$820 per booth), dealers also need to take these logistics into account:

-freight handling & shipping fees
-truck rental fees
-gas (if traveling by ground)
-airline tickets
-hotel stay (at *least* 4 nights)
-food
-sufficient staff

And on top of all this, having enough sufficient staff to keep their store location open!

Yes, we've had our share of dealers in the past who've pulled out of FanimeCon simply because they couldn't make enough profit. Their margins were low, therefore they're less likely to return to our Dealers room.  :-[
---------------------------------------
On the issue of imports:
Dealers haven't been importing as much as they used to. Why? Because shipping is expensive and alot of the mainstream items are coming from official North American distributing companies such as Diamond Comics, AAAnime, & Great Eastern. In recent years, Diamond has expanded their import selections: Kotobukiya/Yamato PVC Statues, Gashapon figures, Bandai Soul of Chogokin collections, Gundam kits, etc...

Example:
Random "---" anime toy released in Japan on 1/1/2009. Dealers are expected to pay for yen price @ 500 ea & overseas shipping for said product. 6 months later, Diamond Comics announces they are importing the same toy @ cheaper costs than Japan.

Import dealers lose money and must now compete prices w/ the "localized" version of the same product. Importing is a risky investment nowadays *if* someone else gets the North American distribution rights.

[PIANO] SHEET MUSIC.


Finding official sheet music from anime/video games outside of Japan (other than the option of purchasing via the internet) is so difficult. When I went to Japan, I came back with seven sheet music books. In all my years attending Fanime (2010 is going to be my fifth year), I've never seen anime/video game sheet music books sold. Or maybe sheet music is really popular and it's always sold out by the time I hit the Dealer's Room. D: Either way, with the great diversity of people that attend Fanime, a good portion of us must be musically inclined and would also be greatly interested in purchasing official sheet music from their favorite anime and video games. Finding a dealer that sells sheet music alone would be quite a challenge, but what about suggesting to Fanime's regular dealers to expand their merchandise to include sheet music? I know the music books are out there, I see them sold online all the time. But it's just much more convenient to purchase sheet music in person.

Come on, us musicians need some love too. >:

JAPANESE-BRAND HAIRDYE.

I'm talking about the Palty, Gatsby, and Kao Prettia brands. This stuff is legit. I've only ever used Japanese hairdye when I choose to color my hair at home. Usually, these brands are found only in Japantowns or the few and far in between specialty J-shops. It's a pain in the butt driving to SF Japantown if my only mission was to buy hairdye, lol. -__- Finding a good selection of these hairdyes in Japanese/Asian groceries vary - at most, only two to three colors are available at these stores (if they're not specifically a Japanese grocery). I'm sure many girls (and guys!) would be interested in purchasing/trying out these brands but they just don't have the access to purchase them at a store. Maybe a dealer would like to add the stuff to their merch? :D

CIRCLE LENSES

I haven't been around the cosplay contact lenses booth last year, but to my knowledge, contact lenses dealers at Fanime don't cell circle lenses. YES, there is a difference between regular color-contact lenses and circle lenses. http://circlelens.net/ (http://circlelens.net/) I know that I'd buy several pairs of circle lenses, if only they were sold at Fanime...

If you're from the Bay Area (heck, even SoCal), it's actually quite easy to shop for Japanese/Asian-related groceries. Raid your local 99 Ranch, Nijiya, Mitsuwa, Seafood City, Japantown, Chinatown, etc. Generally, if you have the access, buying from these stores instead of from the dealers at the con gets you a better deal for your buck.

Last year, I remember there was this dealer that was selling bottles of ramune soda for $2 a bottle. Wtf? You could get a six-pack of ramune for about $4 at 99 Ranch... And boxes of Pocky being sold at $2-4 dollars each? How about buying two boxes for a dollar at Nijiya? -__-

However, if you don't have access to shopping at these kinds of stores, then by all means, stock up. However, just think a little further before you start purchasing your Japanese non-perishables in bulk. Is it really worth paying so much extra?

Another thing I'd be interested in seeing in the Dealer's Room are miscellaneous Japanese wares. These don't necessarily have to be very fancy/pricey. I'm talking about bento boxes, daruma, miscellaneous charms from temples/shrines (good luck, good health, etc.), yukata (real yukata, not something cosplay-inspired), obi, zori, parasols, kanzashi (hair pins/ornaments), kokeshi, furin (windchimes) etc. Not everyone who attends Fanime has access to a Japantown - I think a considerable amount of people would be interested in purchasing these Japanese items. :)

Yeah, I've seen sheet music sold at Kinokuniya SF also, however, the selection is very limited. I've checked and there aren't many sheet music books related to anime/video games. Mostly stuff by Japanese composers or pieces written in very easy notation (I've seen Japanese lullabies before).

I had a kimono booth at the '08 show and nearly sold out of a LOT of things, including tabi and yukata. This year I'm stocking up for Sakura-Con in April, but considering doing Fanime as well since it's local (I'm in the East Bay Area).

So... do you want to see a kimono booth at Fanime this year? Let me know.

i'd love to see 100 yen store items. you know, the cheap fun little stuff?

affordable bento items. i hate seeing cute stuff at 20-30+ bucks.

casual (everyday) yukata. not costume, not "vintage" (aka more money)

everyday geta! last pair i bought (only ones i could find) were made of a soft wood that is falling apart due to little rocks getting embedded in them

educational stuff(think the japanese study section of j-list)

pretty much, affordable cool stuff. it doesn't just have to be anime related.

What you're looking for is all Made In China. And really, you get what you pay for.

Yukata are never cheap unless they are machine made in China, and even then they are quite expensive, even in Japan. Vintage ones are usually hand sewn and last forever, so worth the money. Japanese-made cotton is vastly superior to most Chinese cottons. Sometimes if you're lucky you can find a cheap yukata on ebay, but watch for shipping costs. There are some bargains to be had if you're diligent!

Geta are often made of paulownia or other soft wood and meant for one season's wear, so yeah, they do fall apart. I go through at least a pair a year, just doing shows.

I WISH I could sell the items you want for cheap, but the fact is nearly half my cost is just shipping stuff out of Japan to the US. It is VERY expensive to import these things, even if they start out cheap in Japan.

Just to back up what kimonomomo's saying here - Ichiroya, one of the most reputable vendors out of Japan, recently listed a bunch of adorable new casual yukata and obi sets.

http://www.ichiroya.com/sp/list.php?spid=S4bad7f3729137

Check the prices.

This is what what you're going to pay for brand new "not costume" yukata straight from Japan. Vintage are usually less expensive.

I managed to snag a brand new high-end yukata a few years back on sale for 50,00y. It's more than I've spent on many of my vintage kimono and I consider it to be a great deal for a brand new item.

Quote from: Fanime Home PageFanimeCon, Aksys Games, and Arc System Works are proud to announce video game creators Daisuke Ishiwatari and Toshimichi Mori as Guests of Honor at FanimeCon 2010.

Daisuke Ishiwatari is famous for creating the Guilty Gear video game series. While he denies having created the game single-handedly, his extensive work on the series includes an eclectic assortment of talents.

Toshimichi Mori also has many talents. He not only directed and produced the BlazBlue video game series but also designed the characters and wrote the scenarios.

Not junk food would be nice like the poster above said, bento boxes would be awesome, just need a cooling unit to keep them in. Belts would be awesome, any kind, seat belt, black belt, a belt. Cosplay clothing not limited to popular series but I could imagine the prices of though being 100+...

I'm talking about bento boxes, daruma, miscellaneous charms from temples/shrines (good luck, good health, etc.), yukata (real yukata, not something cosplay-inspired), obi, zori, parasols, kanzashi (hair pins/ornaments), kokeshi, furin (windchimes) etc. Not everyone who attends Fanime has access to a Japantown - I think a considerable amount of people would be interested in purchasing these Japanese items. Smiley

Your best bet is using a deputy service to access all the Yahoo Japan and Rakuten goods.  Deputy services will charge you a small commission fee, but, as most Japanese will not do business (or ship) to anyone outside of Japan, it's really your best bet. I'm guessing that a lot of vendors who import will likely charge you just as much if not more, considering that they need to cover their costs as well.  There's also a chain of Japanese 'dollar stores' in the Bay Area(I'd mention the name but I'm not sure if it's ok to plug them here), so, if you're headed to Fanime, you might want to check them out.  They have a good selection of bento boxes and other items.  And, since most items are $1.50, they won't blow your con budget.

For kimono stuff, you really need to head to Japan.  There are some really good and affordable second hand kimono stores in Tokyo.  But, bear in mind, that 'authentic' kimono stuff can be pricey.  Even in a second hand(most of the stuff doesn't look used at all) shop, it is not unheard of to pay 20,000 - 30,000 yen for just the obi alone.

I hope this helps.

A better variety of snacks would be cool.  I mostly saw chocolate and strawberry Pocky, and while those are good, I can easily get them from my local grocery store at any given time.  It seemed WhizzyWig was the only dealer that had a better spread, and even their stuff was kinda limited compared to 2009 (or so I can recall right now).  They still have good stuff, though =).

Also, I second others' suggestions about having figures other than girls in mostly provocative outfits.  It would be nice to have male action figures as well so you don't get hit with a barrage of women with their clothes barely there.

Lastly, someone else mentioned this, but better phone charms would also be appreciated, especially if they don't cost $15-20.  I'd prefer to not blow a few meals worth of cash just to make my phone look awesome.

There are usually a ton of really cute and relatively inexpensive phone charms in the Artists Alley. Little polymer ones, fabric ones, etc. I'd rather buy from small handcrafters and get something cute and unique anyway :)

Oh yeah, I forgot that some of the artists make good phone charms.  Unique ones are always better than mass-made commercial ones anyway.  Plus, it's always nice to support the artists while getting something badass  :).  I'll have to look at the booths more closely this year and see if they have anything of note.

I'm a big fan of Jeannie Lee's charms - http://junosama.deviantart.com/

I know she was selling at past Fanime (last time I managed to go was 2008 and she was there), not sure if she'll have a table there this year. But she lives in the area, so I would be sort of surprised if she didn't.

Oh man, I totally just fell in love with her paopu fruit cell phone charm.  Hehe, I'm a sucker for anything Kingdom Hearts as you can probably tell.  Unfortunately she isn't selling it on Etsy, so I'll might email her and ask if she'll be at this year's Fanime, and if she has any plans to sell those charms if she is there.  Thanks for the recommendation :).

Dealers that sell from older series from 1999 and below. There was one seller who made a killing from me with all his Urusei Yatsura merch. (THERE JUST WASN'T ENOUGH!)  This is why I focus on the Swap Meet because so many people sell off their older merch. Otherwise the dealer room is ok with me; the majority of my funds go to commissions at the artist alley anyway.

Yeah! My friend and I were all bummed that they weren't here. Someone had even given my friend some money to buy her a hat from Gaia, or something, and it wasn't even there, which threw a wrench in the works.

I liked finding the old Final Fantasy PSone games there, though. I bought myself Final Fantasy VIII, which was the only one I didn't have. XD

I would like to see more Gurren Lagann stuff, definitely. I'd definitely go after some Kamina and Simon related items. :3

At the last possible minute they decided to add a panel, but yeah i missed he Gaia booth there too last year.   Dont think they the intention of coming around to Fanime then.  It wasn't on their con schedule and a lot of people were getting upset that they werent going to drop by.  Think all the complaints got to them ^_^ so they at least came by doing a panel. 
I must say thats very strange cause their headquaters is in San Jose that's why we had so many Gaia artists in the Artist Alley I REALLY missed the Gaia booth. I wonder if asking admins on Gaia would be more helpful to this endeavor?

Dang I thought I posted this before but I didn't see it on any of the pages.  A year or two ago someone had a vending machine next to their booth.  You put in a dollar (maybe it was two dollars) and got a capsule with a small figure in it, like the ones in Japan at the malls.  This vending machine had Yu Yu Hakusho figures.  It ran out pretty fast, when I came by a few hours later the machine was empty.  I'd like more of those.

I love all varieties of plushies and will always take a serious look at any plush, but I particularly enjoy the cuddle-sized (~1 foot tall) ones made of soft and cuddle-worthy material. Last year I spent more on my plushies alone than all my posters and prints combined.

I also love cosplay jewelry and other accessories. The laser-cut pokemon badges (pinnable to shirts and jackets if so desired) were some of the best finds I've ever found at any con, period.

I'd also say Kuroko no Basket cosplay outfits, but I get the feeling that those will easily exceed $50 for a single article of clothing and understandably may not sell too well.

More stuff that isn't figures? I came in hoping to buy a bunch of Sailor Moon stuff but as far as I could tell nobody had any of the items I'd seen online (charm sets, pointers, pens, cups, plates, phone cases, phone chargers, etc)

Not a stock request but it would be nice if more of the costume/goth vendors had big signs up indicating what sizes they offer, for the convenience of those of us who don't fit in the Japanese size range. There's a lot of bigger folk and it would help to know which places we should bother picking through the racks and which ones we should stay out of everybody else's way.

:( I tried looking around the dealers hall for some Senran Kagura figures for my boyfriend but I couldn't find any. Maybe next year if there is enough of a demand~ I figured with how focused the show is on...bodies and such, that they'd have some popular figures, but guess not.

Saw practically nothing from Kill la Kill aside from the artist alley, There will probably be tons next year though.

I would've loved to see some Nameko goods of any kind, but I guess it's not popular enough in the US? It's such a HUGE hit in Japan it's surprising anime/game fans over here don't like it.  :(

More valve items, as there was literally 1 booth that had any, and even that they didn't have much. 2013 had more than last year.....

Glitch Gear had a decent amount, though it was mostly shirts and Portal merchandise (sentry turret blind boxes, lemon grenades, etc.). Level Up Studios was also there and they carried some of the action figures, but aside from that I think they only had fan-made artwork/shirts and the like scattered across other booths, if they were even available.

As much as I love Valve and their properties, I wouldn't suggest doling out $50 for a replica of the Sandvich or $20-30 for the figures that can break just removing them from the packaging.

Some cool announcements.
Along the lines of new distributors we have some new blood joining us:
What Pumpkin Studios
Kuretake Zig

Also for clarification, what is cybergoth? I may be to old now.... I know cyberpunk, but not cybergoth. Some examples would be great for tracking it down.

I'm on the lookout for more tokusatsu as well as it has seen a big revival both in Japan and here. 8)

Typical Cybergoth apparel is goggles, spikes, and those tube-thingies worn like a wig.
