About

Founded in April 2008, MyFigureCollection.net (aka. MFC) is a community website for Japanese pop-culture (anime, manga, video-games, etc.) goods (figures, artbooks, CDs, cups, collectibles, dakimakura, etc.) collectors. In addition to the possibility to meet people sharing the same Passion, MFC provides several services such as online collection manager, databases, pictures, calendar, budget manager, encyclopedia and much more.

Note: MFC stands for MyFigureCollection.net;

• MFC does not willingly record any personal information;
• MFC does use cookies to save some of your options on your computer;
• MFC does use Google Analytics (without personal identifiable information PII) and Google Ads products; see Google's Privacy policy for more information;
• You can control Ad Personalization by Google Ads and Google products by visiting the Google Ad Settings page;
• You can opt out of being counted in Google Analytics by installing a browser add on made by Google;
• MFC does use third party advertising that may use cookies, IPs, and beacons to provide personalized ads. You can control this by using this opt out page.

The main service provided by MFC is the possibility to keep track of your collection online. To get started and start listing your collection, you should start by getting familiar with our item database.

First, go on the search/browse page and look for the items of your collection by typing keywords in the appropriate fields. For instance, to find Haruhi figures manufactured by Max Factory, type 'Suzumiya Haruhi' in the Characters field (please note that Japanese names should always be written Lastname+Firstname) and type 'Max Factory' in the Companies field.

Click the Search button.


Click on your item thumbnail (if you have troubles distinguishing which item is which from the thumbnails, try to change the display mode - Diaporama mode is a good option to have a better view of the results) and you will land on the item page.

Click on the Add to my collection link.

In the popup window, select a Status (you can fill the other information if you want) and click on one of the Save buttons.


Congratulations, this Haruhi figure has been added to your collection (to edit your information you can click on the Edit link).


Note: to quickly build your collection, you can use your collection manager.

Only moderators and above have the ability to delete items from the database.
If you need an item to be deleted, alert.

Cast off means that the figure contains removable parts and when these parts are removed, the figure becomes NSFW/capable of full bodily nudity, top or bottom.

This means that figures with removable skirts etc are not considered cast off, unless the bottom half is completely naked (no underwear) after the skirt is removed.

Force cast-off (breaking a section of the figure to cast off) should not be marked on the entry if it leaves conspicuous damage on the figure.

Entries are marked as draft when there is a poor quality main shot and/or there is a lack of information. It allows everyone to edit the entry.

While we allow users to freely apply the draft tool when needed, please be wise to use it when necessary. Take the time to look for information you need before marking an entry as a draft. If you are found to be abusing the draft tool, you may be banned from making alterations/additions to the database.

To find particular items, try to combine simple keywords such as 'nendo', 'akiyama', 'petit', 'alter'. If you still can't find the item you are looking for, try #<Item ID> as a keyword (e.g. #10).

JAN-
A JAN Code is a number that uniquely identify products. Each products commercialized in Japan has its own JAN Code. You can usually find it on your product box.

Book-



CD-



ISBN-
A book ISBN-13 always starts with 978.
Please use the converter available on the Add an entry page to update your ISBN-10 to ISBN-13.
More about ISBN.

Notes-
For books, JAN code = ISBN.
NB. Code(s) must be 13 digits, remove dashes and spaces or the entry might not be stored. e.g. 978-3-16-148410-0 --> 9783161484100

Catalog ID-
Physical media releases (CDs, games, etc.) have a catalog number, assigned to them by the label or manufacturer releasing them. Usually, this number includes letters and numbers, maybe separated by a dash or space. This number is mostly printed on the case spine or near the barcode if one exists.
- NB. You may also add the barcode (JAN) number in addition to the catalog ID if one exists.

• Any of the above should not be mistaken for general store catalogue numbers or Amazon ASIN codes.

MyFigureCollection does not really host a character/origin/artist/etc. encyclopedia that's why the only way to add an entry to the encyclopedia is through the item addition page. Indeed to be allowed to be added to our encyclopedia, an entry (character/origin/artist/etc.) should be linked to at least one item (figures/goods/etc.). Specifically, to add an entry to the encyclopedia, you have to first find an item that could be linked to this entry. Then when you add this item you'll be able to add the new entry at the same time.

Here is the page to add an item.

Orphan entries are regularly deleted.

Yes. Browse the encyclopedia and look for your favorites characters/origins/artists/etc. and for each of them click on the Subscribe link.

Only member rank VIB and above can edit all entries.

To edit an item, click on the Edit link.

If your member rank is RGB, you can only edit the entries that you have added or entries that are in Draft status. If an entry needs to be edited and you do not have the permissions to, alert.

NB. When editing is completed, please use the comment box to leave information, as to why the edition was made or source links etc. e.g. "Replaced item picture with better resolution and cropped." or "Added new release date/information found at (link)."
- A left comment will help staff to verify changes made, as well as avoiding any misunderstanding, because the member who made the entry will receive a notification of an edit, if it wasn't made by themselves.

/!\ Before adding an item, always check to see if it is already in the database by running a search.

To add an item, click on Databases then on Add an entry.

A repost is an entry for a particular figurine that already exists in the database.

Alert if you are not allowed to edit yourself.

If you request changes a source is required.

Bundled Media items can be added as separate entries if they meet the following requirements:

• The bundled/free item has to be linked to the main item that was sold if that item meets other criteria to be allowed on MFC (the whole bundle wasn’t distributed for free)
• For an item to be eligible it needs to be a separate item that fits into an existing Media types on MFC. If, for example, an OST comes on multiple CDs split between 2 CD cases, it still counts as one item.
• The bundled item needs to meet a certain standard for entries (decent quality cover, proper Title, Release, Catalog ID for CDs)
• If the item is exclusive to one store, the store must be added as Distributor and Release set to Exclusive
• Miscellaneous details about the item, like the ones listed below, can be added in Further information:

• Shop link (for Exclusive releases)
  
• Conditions for obtaining the item (time period, purchase at least a certain number of goods or amount of money) if they can’t be inferred from other fields and related entries

Valid examples of split items:
• Books
• Mixed media (a combination of Music/Video/Games) that come in separate CD cases

Invalid examples of split items:
• Leaflets (“books” with <4 pages)
• Music/Video/Games/Software that come in one case (jewel case/DVD case/digipack/etc.)
• Music CD + booklet, game + game manual

The purpose of this field is to specify which event a figure or item was sold at. Entries that have this information are most likely Limited, Exclusive, or Limited + Exclusive because they are only available at these events. This feature is located on the "Add an entry" page underneath the material field and before the title field.

Only use this feature for items that are sold at events. In other words there is no need to add a laundry list of events to prototypes that travel from festival to festival (e.g. sculpts from popular manufacturers such as Orchid Seed).

Drop-down tab meanings:

Exhibition - event where vendors and individuals sell items.
ExampleWonder Festival, Comic Market, San Diego Comic Con, etc.
Sale - a special event where an item is sold that cannot be found anywhere else.
ExampleGift Winter Campaign, fan shops, etc.
Auction - event tailored to auctioning off a specific item or items.
ExampleExclusive doll auctions.
Lottery - Event where an item can be obtained by chance.
ExamplePurchase of lottery tickets, through store credits, contests, etc.

Sadly, an entry is marked as Counterfeit when unscrupulous people have made fake version(s) of the item. Those fake versions are usually really bad copies of the original items that are sold at a lower price. They are often made with bad quality materials that can be dangerous for you health. Buying fake items is: hurting yourself, hurting the anime/manga industry and your favorite authors, being scammed, making mafia live and exist.

How to write?

Each word that is not a particle must start with a upper case letter. Ex: right way to write is Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, wrong ways could be suzumiya haruhi no yuuutsu, Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuuutsu.

Do not use full upper case words. Ex: right way to write is Gainax, wrong ways could be GAINAX.


How to romanize?

Please use the Hepburn method and the Wāpuro variation for long vowels. Fancy characters shall be removed.

Particles: へ is e, は is wa and を is o
Long vowels: 大きい is Ookii, 東京 is Toukyou, etc.

Ex: right ways to romanize are Kyou, Yuuutsu, Boku o mite, Toukyou e iku, Boku wa dare desu ka. Wrong ways could be Kyo, Kyō, Kyô, Kyoh, Yuutsu, Yūutsu, Yûutsu, Boku wo mite, Tokyo he iku, Boku ha dare desu ka.

Exception: Character's names having an official romanization should be named following this official romanization. Ex: Tohsaka Rin, Tohno Minagi.

- In addition, loanwords (usually written in Katakana) from non-Japanese languages should be romanized in accordance with their spelling in those original languages. Ex: オータム/Autumn, アルバイト/Arbeit etc.


How to name?

Names have to be original Japanese names. English, French and whatever translations/adaptations should be added as aliases. Ex: right way to name is Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, wrong way could be The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Japanese names will be written Last name + First name Ex: right way to name is Fujibayashi Kyou, wrong way is Kyou Fujibayashi.

Please add official Japanese names (in Japanese) in the 名前 field. An official Japanese name can be written in full caps romaji if that is how the Japaneses decided to write it (it can also be a mix of romaji and kana, and so on).

Please note that there must be a space between name kanji. Ex: right way to name is 藤林 杏, wrong way is 藤林杏.

Western names will be written First name + Last name. Ex: right way to name is Jack Skellington, wrong way is Skellington Jack.


About aliases

Aliases shall be added only if their values are not completely contained int the entry name. Ex: name is John Smith, correct aliases could be John Douglas, Robert. Bad aliases could be John, Smith.


About descriptions

Always give your source. If your text is 100% original, sign your text.

Important: myanimelist.net is not a source (most of the texts are stolen from Wikipedia and ANN and they don't even care about linking to their sources) or a bad source. Always privilege Wikipedia.

Descriptions can be formatted using BBCode.


About images

Upload official images. Avoid fanarts (if you have no choice but to use a fanart always link to your source in the entry description). 1280x1280, 500kB max.

Important: myanimelist.net bordered images are ugly (it will take you two seconds to find nice images by googling Japanese names).

About Copyrights

Copyright holders must have an additional purpose beyond holding copyright to be included as an encyclopaedia entry, unless they are the main producer of the work.

About related entries (Characters)

Characters should be linked to specific origins as related entry if they either originate from that origin/franchise and/or play an active and permanent role within that origin. For instance, characters featured in a game only within the scope of collaboration events or comparable contexts with other media (crossover chapters or episodes), possibly temporarily, should not be linked to the origin as related entry.

To create a copy of an entry (useful when adding several similar entries) you must be allowed to edit this entry. Go on the page of the entry you want to copy, click on the Edit link, change the information that needs to be, select a new picture (required), tick the Save as box (don't forget or you'll edit the entry without creating a copy) and click Submit.

Canceled - when a prototype is no longer planned for production.
ExampleThe manufacturer has canceled plans to release the item.

Select a Variant relation type.

If both 1- and 2- are applicable, go with 1-.

Alert.

Alert.

Orphan entries are Encyclopedia entries, which have no figure or any other item associated with it. These entries are usually caused by the removal of items, which were not allowed in the database and where a new Encyclopedia entry was created.

In order to keep our database managable and save storage space, so called orphan entries will possibly get alerted and subsequently removed or may be removed without alerting on routine checks by members of staff.

Note: MFC reserves the right, in its sole discretion to remove offending submissions from its website without notice and to banish users breaking these or our Community Guidelines. MFC will determine in its sole discretion if Blogging or Community Guidelines are or aren't violated.

Note: MFC stands for MyFigureCollection.net. Updated March 6, 2022.

As a site that primarily features content produced and legally accepted in Japan, we allow many items and topics that may make you feel uncomfortable, whether that is due to your personal views, domestic laws or other reasons.

Despite that, we kindly ask you to always keep in mind that this kind of content is perfectly acceptable elsewhere and that we, as an international website, cannot offer user experiences specifically tailored to certain countries, as that would deprive us of the vast majority of content featured predominantly within Japanese subcultures, whether that’s erotic depictions of characters of all kinds and ages, fetishes in general or excessive violence, to name a few.

In consideration of that, remaining open-minded or tolerant or at least avoiding the topics you feel absolutely uncomfortable with would be appreciated and also required, as the content is explicitly allowed and inappropriate behavior or defamation either directed towards users or made in the context of said topics as a whole will not be tolerated.
Nonetheless, please also be advised that we limit these guidelines to depictions of fictional characters. Should you come across any cases involving actual people or real life material, please make sure to inform staff immediately.


1 - MFC is not for pornographic or sexually explicit material
...but they may be tolerated under the following:

• Uploading pictures - when you upload such pictures flag them with the right option (NSFW) - pictures involving real life explicit material are strictly forbidden.
  
• Posting links - when you post links to external sites featuring such content, mark your link accordingly (NSFW).
  
• When you embed NSFW pictures into posts or elsewhere, put them into spoilers (see the FAQ) and indicate that they are NSFW. This also applies to use for other areas such as profile and club main pages, among others. For use within pages visited only by club members, please establish proper rules within the club to avoid problems.
  
• Adding items - when you add such items, flag them with the right option (NSFW).

2 - Respect copyright

• Uploading other peoples’ images while falsely advertising them as yours is strictly forbidden, whether this is accomplished by the removal of watermarks or simply claiming unsigned images to be yours.
  
• Do not post illegal content, or specifically any such content that can pose an infraction of the well-being of the community.
  
• Material regarding unwarranted and unauthorised activity is also not allowed (warez, fansub, etc.).
  
• Do not link to websites providing illegal content.
  
• Do not promote bootlegs and do not provide or otherwise post links to shops that sell them, whether that’s their primary business branch or just a side branch. Discussion of bootlegs is permitted insofar as it doesn’t serve to encourage purchases.

3 - Do not post commercial messages

• Do not promote commercial activities of yourself or others (except if explicitly authorised by the MFC staff and in the according place - club dedicated to sales and web-shops).
  
• Do not post affiliate links.

4 - Please be courteous here in the community
...and do your part to create an environment that all members can enjoy.

Guidelines for discussions:

• Always feel free to express your opinion, whether is it positive or negative, but always keep in mind not to be rude; at least not excessively so.
  
• a) When expressing your opinion, limit it to the topic at hand, do not involve the people behind the argument/the opinion
  Acceptable:
  -“It looks nice, but, personally, I’m not really comfortable with the character’s depicted age”,
  -“Passing on this one, the price tag is way too high when considering the quality”
  -“Really wish this weren’t another Miku”
  b) do not use derogatory terms or general descriptions that serve to either implicitly or directly insult or provoke other users
  Unacceptable:
  -“This is sick”
  -“Is this for pedophiles?”
  -“Only an idiot would buy this figure”
  -"Imagining how much this will piss off <user group or name> makes this even better!"
  
• a) Do not bring topics such as religion, politics, sexuality, beliefs, real life matters or otherwise disturbing topics etc. into discussions that are otherwise unrelated to these topics; exceptions possible for articles.
  Unacceptable:
  -“The author is a convicted XXX, they shouldn’t be producing figures of this series”
  b) While it goes without saying that users should not be insulted, the same goes for any of the above being used as insults; this also includes terms related to other issues such as age etc.
  Possibly unacceptable terms:
  -“boomer” or other variations aimed at both younger and older people
  
• Do not violate the personal privacy of other members by making their personal information public or otherwise discussing them in an open space
  -Limit reports of scammers to alerts. Scammers are regularly added here
  -Exception: Publicly asking if someone has heard from a user, for instance in case they have gone missing. If doing this as an article, disable comments and request a PM.
  
• Public discussions of sexual topics are only allowed insofar as obscene comments are avoided. Discussing the quality of a figure’s sculpt and praising the quality of body parts is not the same as describing how arousing it is.
  
• Do not threaten or otherwise harass other users, whether that is by constantly picking fights with them in discussions, constantly sending unsolicited PMs, constantly downvoting pictures etc.
  More so than others, death threats and -wishes are subject to staff scrutiny and may lead to account termination regardless of whether they constitute the first offence or not.
  
• Do not instigate conflicts for the fun of it and refrain from outright trolling people.
  
• Do not make inappropriate requests of any kind to other users, whether they concern monetary aid or sexual favors, among others. Either of these will render your account eligible for immediate termination.
  
• Do not harass users over whether placed alerts are justified or not. While some alerts may seem unnecessary, staff will inform users themselves should they be required to refrain from placing specific alerts. As a general rule of thumb, users should not be wary of placing alerts if they feel they are justified. Since harassment over the justification of an alert may serve to dissuade users from placing alerts, especially if they do not want to deal with ensuing drama and possible harassment in general, violation of this rule may lead to action taken against your account.

Everyone here is entitled to respect and peace of mind, so please be sure to remember the code of conduct to ensure that yourself and others will have an enjoyable time.

In the event that you do come across posts or content that violate these rules, please use the alert function or notify staff by PM.

Whatever you do, do not

• insult the alleged perpetrator or otherwise retaliate and
  
• refrain from answering posts that will obviously be deleted as your post will be deleted along with them.

- Failure to comply with No. i will render you equally liable to being reprimanded, whereas ii will lead to extra work for staff and, in particularly egregious cases or repeat offences, to being reprimanded as well.
- Please note that some of these may be purely subjective and that the way remarks are perceived may differ from their intended use. Staff reserves the right to make decisions regardless of the intended use in such cases.


5 - Moderate yourself

• Add to your collection only items you actually own: obviously, nobody will break into your house to verify, but at least do not add not-yet-released items to your owned list.
  
• Moderate your wishlist: There is no point in adding every item of the database into your wishlist. Please note that insanely big wishlists will be purged on a regular basis.
  
• Use spoiler tags.
  
• Do not upload all the Internet in your gallery.
  
• Do not post excessive amounts of comments. Eg. Welcome messages on new user accounts, multiple store sales links on entries, etc. Spam may result in a temporary or permanent comment ban.
  
• Please be aware that we do not permit the use of multiple active accounts by the same user. Accounts created to bypass bans or to invoke a user name change may have all offending accounts terminated.

Note: MFC reserves the right, in its sole discretion to remove offending content from its website without notice and to banish users breaking these Community Guidelines. MFC will determine in its sole discretion if these Community Guidelines are or aren't violated.

Q. Is there a way to mass-link items, entries and pictures to my clubs?
A. Yes, there is.

However, there is a requirement:

• You must be an admin of the club;
• You must be a Supporter or a VIB.

How to:

• Go to the page of the club you want to link objects to, click on Link/Unlink then on Tools.
• Select the type of object you want to link (items, entries or pictures).
• Fill the form with your criteria and click on Link/Unlink.

To be used with caution:

• Click on Flush to delete all links of the selected type of object.

Only search ads can be deleted. If you are allowed to delete an ad, a Delete link will appear next to the Edit link on the ad page.

Sales ads can't be deleted, however, marking your ad Unavailable will remove the sale from your list.

You can't. If an user got more than one sale at the top of the sale list, it's certainly because he/she bumps his/her old sales.

Supporters and VIBs can create an unlimited number of sales.

I'm a club admin, how do I change the access ranks of members of my club?

• Go to the Members page of your club.
• Click on the Manage link (located in the Navigation/Action menu).
• Select new ranks.

Right Details-

Outsiders are allowed to:
Public club: View club room, join the club, read and post comments on the club room, read discussions.
Private club: View club room, read and post comments on the club room.

Regular members are allowed to (in addition of what Outsiders can do):
Leave the club, create discussions, post in non-closed discussions, poll vote, invite people to join.

Admin members are allowed to (in addition of what Moderator members can do):

If one of your sale ads is still available one month after its creation, you can 'bump' it by clicking the Bump link next to the Edit link.*
The creation date of a bumped sale will be updated to the current date. Meaning it will be bumped to the top of the list but also that your remaining waiting time will reset (if you want to create a new sale and are allowed to do so, you should do it before bumping your old sales). When you bump a sale, people having the sold item in their wishlist will be notified by email.

*Please note, bumping your ad has no influence over the length of time until your ad becomes 'unavailabe'.
