Collectibles are just that thanks to their appeal in circles that appreciate either the simple act of collecting or the love of the subject matter. Fantasy, anime, action, cult, and even classics – these days, you can collect in almost any genre you desire, and you’ll find a whole host of like-minded individuals who are into the same things. 

What makes an item collectible, in addition to its desirability, is the fact that they aren’t easily available. It is often the case that there are so few of a figure produced that it can become incredibly difficult to get your hands on if you don’t ensure you buy it as soon as it is released. Once others see how valuable these pieces become, they can cost a fortune to buy second hand so getting them early is your best bet. When you shop for collectibles, look for high quality items at retailers like The Sword Stall.

With that in mind, let’s look at the 10 most popular collectible items for 2020, with a particular focus on anime, fantasy, and action figures…
