Proud captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and holder of one of the Devil Fruit, Monkey D Luffy sails to your figure collection with this ABYstyle Studio SFC figurine. Featuring his iconic pose, this figure is sure to be the perfect addition to any fan's collection!

Anime fans love figures because they bring two-dimensional characters to life in three dimensions. This 6.5-inch figure from Bandai's Anime Heroes line captures the heroism of a man who wants to be the king of all pirates.

2. Hunter x Hunter Poster

Anime posters and prints are one of the most popular types of manga merchandise. They feature some of the most iconic characters and scenes from a series, making them a great way to show your love for your favorite anime.

Some fans prefer to pronounce the series as "Hunter ex Hunter," since it rolls off the tongue more easily and makes the series easier to remember. However, creator Yoshihiro Togayashi insists on pronouncing it as "Hunter hunter." Hunter x Hunter is the story of Gon Freecss, a boy who becomes a world-famous Hunter, an elite professional specializing in locating rare animal species and treasure, surveying unexplored enclaves, or hunting down lawless individuals.

3. Bebop Card Game

The beloved anime franchise brings its sci-fi setting and iconic characters to the tabletop in this competitive deck-building game. Using a system similar to the popular Legendary Encounters games, players take on the role of members of the Bebop crew, flying from planet to planet in search of criminals for a chance at renown.

The cards, ship, and other components look fantastic and feature plenty of little nods to the series. Plus, this is a UFS set, so it plays like a highly tactical and intriguing game, even if you aren't an avid competitive player of the fighting game system.

4. Akira 35th Anniversary Box Set

There are few manga titles as iconic as Katsuhiro Otomo’s sprawling sci-fi epic Akira. It’s one of the most influential works in comics history - it’s a breathless vision of post nuclear war Tokyo gripped by violent bike gangs and government sponsored experiments.

In this deluxe box set, you’ll get six hardcover volumes of the series along with an Akira Club art book and exclusive iron on patch. The best thing about this set though is that it’s printed in its original right-to-left reading format, which is rare for English releases.

6. Manga Roses

Shojo manga tend to focus on romances and love triangles and often have a historical setting. This period piece set in the court of Marie Antoinette features elaborate outfits, palace intrigue and a cross-dressing heroine.

This manga is a classic and was the first to make history a key part of its story. It was adapted into several Takarazuka revue shows and helped create the top star system in the troupe. It also inspired several other works.

7. Anime Perfume

Anime fans can now purchase perfume featuring their favorite character. There are a number of fragrances available, including one for Edward Elric and another for Roy Mustang. The Fullmetal Alchemist perfume is described as smelling like a combination of lemons and moss with notes of coriander and lavender. If you’re a fan of Demon Slayer, you can also pick up a scent inspired by characters such as Aya Matsuura. These products will make you smell good without costing a fortune.

8. Custom Manga Jordans

Sneakerheads will love this customized manga version of the Nike SXT II. It features a unique 90s white / teal / yellow colorway and detailed sole element. Egawa takes a lot of time to draw the shoe from all angles, showing its details in great detail.
