So someone I know is visiting San Francisco, and wanted to pick up some figures for me but I don't know where to start. If any of you live in the San Francisco area and know any stores please recommended them.
For what I'm looking for I usually lean towards scales and nendos. And the stuff I currently like are One Piece Madoka Magica Yuru Camp and Vocaloid (specifically Miku).
Thank you for any help you can provide with this!!

the last time I was there they really jacked up the prices unfortunately, and I think it has to do with the astronomical rent the jtown buildings cost to rent out that caused basically all the best places to close. They still forced people to pay rent during lockdown so basically everyone got fucked over for 8 months or so and I imagine the price hike is to try to bounce back.
if you must buy something in person, let it be those two places. The rest of the mall is all bootleg
I'd stay away from the other shops in Japantown as a general rule of thumb, since there are a lot of bootlegs sold in the non-repped stores.
Na he just wanted to get me a souvenir and its my special interest. I also live in a place that has like no anime stores so he kind of wanted to give me the experience. I gave him a couple stores but I couldn't find any directly in SF. They're were a couple I've been looking for in at a good price in stock so I recommended him that. I definitely told him not to go anywhere near chinatown or japantown in general.
Just south of SF in Daly City is Sekaido, they have prizes/scales and are good (it's where I got my Misa Amane figure), and across the water on the east side of the bay is AkibaHQ, they're also a legit store and have prizes/scales.

Slightly outside of San Francisco (Daly City), I have heard Sekaido is a good place to shop.
