If you’re into anime, manga or gaming, chances are you’ve already seen Banpresto figures staring at you from a shelf somewhere – maybe at a convention, a friend’s room, or right here on LAB7. Known for awesome quality at wallet-friendly prices, Banpresto has become a go-to brand for anime fans across Malta and Europe.
Who (or What) Is Banpresto?
Banpresto is a Japanese brand famous for producing officially licensed anime and video game merchandise – especially prize figures and plushies. Over the years, it has worked with some of the biggest franchises in the world, including Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Demon Slayer, and many more.
Originally tied to arcade prizes in Japan, Banpresto quickly became legendary among collectors. The goal was simple: high-quality, great-looking figures that normal fans can actually afford. That philosophy still shows today in every sculpt, paint job and pose.
Why Collectors Love Banpresto Figures
So what makes Banpresto stand out in a crowded collectibles world full of statues, figures and limited editions? Let’s break it down.
1. Premium Look Without Premium Prices
Banpresto figures are famously affordable compared to many high-end statues, yet they still look fantastic on display. This makes them perfect for:
- New collectors who want to start an anime shelf without going broke.
- Hardcore fans who want multiple characters or full team line-ups.
- Gift buyers who want something that feels “wow” but stays on budget.
You can explore a wide range of reasonably priced figures right now in the Banpresto collection on LAB7.
2. Huge Range of Anime & Game Franchises
From shonen powerhouses to newer hits, Banpresto covers an impressive selection of series. You’ll find characters from:
- Dragon Ball – Goku, Vegeta, Gogeta, Vegito and more.
- One Piece – Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, the Warlords and the Yonko.
- Naruto & Boruto – Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi and the next generation.
- Demon Slayer – Tanjiro, Nezuko, the Hashira and demons.
- Plus many other beloved anime and game worlds.
That variety makes it incredibly easy to build a collection that reflects your personal taste – or mix and match from different shows to create your own anime multiverse on your shelves.
3. Dynamic Poses & Eye-Catching Details
Banpresto figures are known for capturing characters in energetic, iconic poses – mid-attack, mid-leap, or mid-attitude. Sculpted clothing folds, flowing hair, battle effects and expressive faces all help bring your favourite heroes and villains to life.
Even at a more accessible price, the attention to detail is surprisingly high, making Banpresto pieces look way more expensive than they actually are.
