are you interested in importing Japanese figures?

are you interested in importing figures from Japanese animation?

hello there. I am giving this question from Japan.
I am sorry if you find hard to understand my English.

now, I am planning to start new business which is exporting figures of Japanese animation.
for that reason, I would like to know that there is enough demand or not.

I will export stuffs to mainly U.S and France.
Japanese culture of animation is now seems quite popular there.
but I don't know it is popular enough to start my business.

I also want to know how much they are sold. the cost.
does it cost a lot? how much are they there?
how much would you pay for 1/8size high quality figures?
do you think it is ok to buy second hand figures as cheaper than new ones from Japan?

in addition, if it doesn't bother you, could you please give me URL of famous online shops in your country?

I love to have your answers as many I can.
I want to spread our great culture to the world.
please give me advices.....

They are getting very popular, especially in England and America. A 1/8 scale would go for anywhere from $12.99 to even around the $200 mark, depending on what it is and what material it is made of. I suggest you use Jbox.com or Jlist.com to find some decent pricing.
