About Us
Curated by Collectors, For Collectors
Welcome to The Scale Reserve. I’m Dave, the founder and head curator.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, The Scale Reserve was born out of a lifelong passion for high-end anime collectibles. As a collector with over 10 years of experience and a personal vault of 50+ 1/7, 1/6 and 1/4 scale figures, I know how incredibly difficult it is to track down rare, out-of-print figures in brand new condition without running into shady sellers or counterfeit products.
I built this brand to solve that problem. At The Scale Reserve, we do the hunting for you. We work directly with a number of official distributors to bring highly sought-after, archived figures straight to you. No guesswork, no sketchy third parties, and absolutely zero bootlegs.
Frequently Asked Questions
My country isn't supported, can you ship internationally?
We may be able to ship to your country even if the checkout states it is not supported. Please contact us to obtain a custom quote by emailing hello@thescalereserve.com.
Are your figures guaranteed authentic?
100% Guaranteed. This is the cornerstone of The Scale Reserve. As a veteran collector, I have zero tolerance for bootlegs, counterfeits, or unbranded factory rejects. Because we source our inventory from official overseas distributors, every item is guaranteed genuine. Furthermore, every single figure that enters our reserve is inspected before it is ever shipped to you. If it isn't authentic, it doesn't enter The Reserve.
Do you have a physical retail store?
No, nor do we have plans to open one. We don't like paying the landlords in this country and we pass on the savings to you.
How long does shipping take?
Delivery timelines depend on the item's current location within our logistics network. Many of our figures are physically in Melbourne and dispatch within 48 hours. However, to secure specific rare items, inventory is sometimes routed from our overseas distributors to Australia before final dispatch to you. For these sourced items, we advise an upper estimate of 15 business days for delivery within Australia. Exact shipping expectations and processing times are always transparently listed on every individual product page.
Which figures are your personal favorites?
As a long-time collector, it is hard to choose just a few. However, some of the absolute standouts in my personal collection are the Alter - Kasugano Sora (China Dress Ver.), Alter - Genshin Impact Fischl, and Max Factory - Super Sonico (Racing Ver.).
Regarding upcoming releases, I am particularly looking forward to Good Smile Company's Firefly and their Iroha Isshiki (Light Novel Cover Ver.).
