Thirty-three makers in one afternoon
A wide sweep rather than a deep one: fifty figures from thirty-three different makers, most of them small studios that rarely get catalogued anywhere. The long tail is where an archive earns its keep.

"Where does he get those wonderful toys?"
Thirty-seven years later, we have an answer to the Joker! The Bazaar has a new wing: the RETAILER DIRECTORY, a community-maintained map of the shops that stock our hobby. Every entry lists who they carry, where they ship, whether preorders take a deposit, and what collectors actually say about them.
Here's the part that matters: it runs on you. Ratings are one per member per shop, with fixed tags like "Preorders you can trust" and "Pricey shipping", so the picture stays specific, fair, and impossible to astroturf. No affiliations, no sponsored placement. We take no cut and never will.
Retailers are being uploaded in batches but if you have any specific requests on any we may have missed just let us know!
P.S.49 new figures came into the Archive, from A98 Toys, Add Toys, Alpha Toys, BGM and more.
