What to Look for in Budget Merch

Navigating the world of anime collectibles can be tricky. Here is what every fan needs to know before hitting the "Buy" button:

1. The Bootleg Warning

Budget is incredibly popular, making it a prime target for unlicensed bootlegs. Always check for the official license sticker (usually from Bandai, Funimation, or similar licensors) on the box. All items listed here are verified authentic releases.
