How do I add items to my collection?
The main service provided by MFC is the possibility to keep track of your collection online. To get started and start listing your collection, you should start by getting familiar with our item database.
First, go on the search/browse page and look for the items of your collection by typing keywords in the appropriate fields. For instance, to find Haruhi figures manufactured by Max Factory, type ‘Suzumiya Haruhi’ in the Characters field (please note that Japanese names should always be written Lastname+Firstname) and type ‘Max Factory’ in the Companies field.
Click the Search button.
Click on your item thumbnail (if you have troubles distinguishing which item is which from the thumbnails, try to change the display mode — Diaporama mode is a good option to have a better view of the results) and you will land on the item page.
Click on the Add to my collection link.
In the popup window, select a Status (you can fill the other information if you want) and click on one of the Save buttons.
Congratulations, this Haruhi figure has been added to your collection (to edit your information you can click on the Edit link).
Note: to quickly build your collection, you can use your collection manager.

Do not use full upper case words. Ex : right way to write is Gainax , wrong ways could be GAINAX .
How to romanize?
Please use the Hepburn method and the Wāpuro variation for long vowels. Fancy characters shall be removed.
Particles: へ is e , は is wa and を is o
Long vowels: 大きい is Ookii , 東京 is Toukyou , etc.
Ex : right ways to romanize are Kyou , Yuuutsu , Boku o mite , Toukyou e iku , Boku wa dare desu ka . Wrong ways could be Kyo , Kyō , Kyô , Kyoh , Yuutsu , Yūutsu , Yûutsu , Boku wo mite , Tokyo he iku , Boku ha dare desu ka .
Exception : Character’s names having an official romanization should be named following this official romanization. Ex : Tohsaka Rin, Tohno Minagi.

Upload official images. Avoid fanarts (if you have no choice but to use a fanart always link to your source in the entry description). 1280×1280, 500kB max.
Important: myanimelist.net bordered images are ugly (it will take you two seconds to find nice images by googling Japanese names).

How to find items using the quick search box?
What is the meaning of ‘Cast off’?
Cast off means that the figure contains removable parts and when these parts are removed, the figure becomes NSFW/capable of full bodily nudity, top or bottom.
This means that figures with removable skirts etc are not considered cast off, unless the bottom half is completely naked (no underwear) after the skirt is removed.
Force cast-off (breaking a section of the figure to cast off) should not be marked on the entry if it leaves conspicuous damage on the figure.
What is a ‘Draft’ entry?
Entries are marked as draft when there is a poor quality main shot and/or there is a lack of information. It allows everyone to edit the entry.
While we allow users to freely apply the draft tool when needed, please be wise to use it when necessary. Take the time to look for information you need before marking an entry as a draft. If you are found to be abusing the draft tool, you may be banned from making alterations/additions to the database.

What are JAN/ISBN/Catalog ID codes?
JAN-
A JAN Code is a number that uniquely identify products. Each products commercialized in Japan has its own JAN Code. You can usually find it on your product box.
More about JAN.
ISBN-
A book ISBN-13 always starts with 978 .
Please use the converter available on the Add an entry page to update your ISBN-10 to ISBN-13.
More about ISBN.
Notes-
For books, JAN code = ISBN.
NB. Code(s) must be 13 digits, remove dashes and spaces or the entry might not be stored. e.g. 978-3-16-148410-0 —> 9783161484100
Catalog ID-
Physical media releases (CDs, games, etc.) have a catalog number, assigned to them by the label or manufacturer releasing them. Usually, this number includes letters and numbers, maybe separated by a dash or space. This number is mostly printed on the case spine or near the barcode if one exists.
— NB. You may also add the barcode (JAN) number in addition to the catalog ID if one exists.
- Any of the above should not be mistaken for general store catalogue numbers or Amazon ASIN codes.
How do I add an entry to the encyclopedia?
MyFigureCollection does not really host a character/origin/artist/etc. encyclopedia that’s why the only way to add an entry to the encyclopedia is through the item addition page. Indeed to be allowed to be added to our encyclopedia, an entry (character/origin/artist/etc.) should be linked to at least one item (figures/goods/etc.). Specifically, to add an entry to the encyclopedia, you have to first find an item that could be linked to this entry. Then when you add this item you’ll be able to add the new entry at the same time.
Here is the page to add an item.
Orphan entries are regularly deleted.
Is there a way to know when a new figure of my favorite character is added to the database?
Related Items Guidelines
Item A can be linked to Item B if:
1-
Item A was sold with Item B.
Select a Bundled with relation type.
2-
Item A is a variant of item B.
Variants-
- Color variant (ex: ITEM #605 and ITEM #606 ).
- Small sculpt/pose/outfit variant (ex: ITEM #67703 & ITEM #58766 , ITEM #59772 & ITEM #84622 ).
- GK to PVC (ex: ITEM #20503 & ITEM #302 ).
Select a Variant relation type.
If both 1- and 2- are applicable, go with 1- .
How can I create a copy of an entry?
Why are some entries marked as ‘Counterfeit’?
Sadly, an entry is marked as Counterfeit when unscrupulous people have made fake version(s) of the item. Those fake versions are usually really bad copies of the original items that are sold at a lower price. They are often made with bad quality materials that can be dangerous for you health. Buying fake items is: hurting yourself, hurting the anime/manga industry and your favorite authors, being scammed, making mafia live and exist.

What are orphan entries?
Orphan entries are Encyclopedia entries, which have no figure or any other item associated with it. These entries are usually caused by the removal of items, which were not allowed in the database and where a new Encyclopedia entry was created.
In order to keep our database managable and save storage space, so called orphan entries will possibly get alerted and subsequently removed or may be removed without alerting on routine checks by members of staff.
What is the meaning of the ‘Event’ options: Exhibition, Sale, Auction, Lottery?
The purpose of this field is to specify which event a figure or item was sold at. Entries that have this information are most likely Limited, Exclusive, or Limited + Exclusive because they are only available at these events. This feature is located on the «Add an entry» page underneath the material field and before the title field.
Only use this feature for items that are sold at events. In other words there is no need to add a laundry list of events to prototypes that travel from festival to festival (e.g. sculpts from popular manufacturers such as Orchid Seed).
Drop-down tab meanings:
Exhibition — event where vendors and individuals sell items.
Example Wonder Festival, Comic Market, San Diego Comic Con, etc.
Sale — a special event where an item is sold that cannot be found anywhere else.
Example Gift Winter Campaign, fan shops, etc.
Auction — event tailored to auctioning off a specific item or items.
Example Exclusive doll auctions.
Lottery — Event where an item can be obtained by chance.
Example Purchase of lottery tickets, through store credits, contests, etc.
What is the meaning of the ‘Power’ numbers?
Number of points for the picture according to the number of views, favorites and score.
Note: If you rate or favorite your own pictures those will not count as any points.
How is ‘Picture of the Day’ selected?
How do I edit a picture’s details (category, title, etc.)?
To edit your picture’s details, click on Edit below your picture.
Note: You can mass-edit (category, nsfw, etc.) your pictures in your manager.
How do I create a banner?
