While many different companies manufacture and sell anime figures, prices for the same figure have large differences depending on the authenticity and quality of the figure. Authentic figures are normally figures of characters that are licensed by the creators, thus leading to significantly higher prices. Some of the most well known manufacturers for their consistency and quality are such as Good Smile Company, Aniplex, Hot Toys, Bandai and others. Figures are usually classified as prize figures, scale figures and others, with prize figures being lower cost options often used in Claw crane games, while scale figures can cost several hundreds to thousands USD.
