We also recommend checking your spam/promotions folders in your email, as there may be a possibility that your order confirmation has been sent there.

Unfortunately, no.

Unfortunately, no.
This message appears if the licensor has not authorized the product for sale in your country.

Why is there a difference between the displayed price and the billed amount?
Even if the order price is displayed in a local currency (e.g., EUR, USD, etc.), the actual payment will be processed in Japanese Yen (JPY). Please note that the amount charged to your credit card may differ slightly from the displayed price due to your card issuer's exchange rate and any applicable foreign transaction fees.
What name will appear on my bank statement?
Depending on your payment method, the name will include one of the following:
- Hot Toys Japan
- TOY SAPIENS
When do I pay for pre-order items?
Payment for pre-order items is not made when the order is placed, but on a designated date. The designated date will be displayed on the item page and during checkout.
If a deposit is required for an item, this will be paid for at the time of order, and the remaining balance will be paid for on the designated date.
Additionally, if your card authorization expires before the designated date, you may be required to re-enter your card information.
How do I use discount codes?
After adding items to your cart, enter the discount code in the "Shopping Cart" or "Checkout" and click "Apply". Your total should reflect the new discounted price.
