How to Collect Naruto Action Figures

Lifelike action figures seem to have the amazing ability to make stories come alive for enthusiasts of every saga from Pokemon to the major league baseball pennant race. Naruto is no different in that respect. Naruto fans have a wide selection of action figures from which to choose their favorites based on the characters and episodes that they find most compelling.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Follow the Naruto Saga to Select Your Favorite Action Figures

1. Build your interest in Naruto by reading the original manga books and watching the movie or the anime episodes. Learn about the characters before you begin to accumulate actions figures or other toys based on the series.
2. Choose your favorite Naruto characters and learn about their skills, efforts and special distinctions in the ongoing saga of Squad 7 and its mentor Kakashi so that you can collect Naruto action figures that relate to your favorite moments in the story.
3. Visit the toy action figure section of the nearest toy store, Target or other department store to check out action figures that interest you before you order them online or request them as gifts. Sometimes action figures look larger and more impressive on your computer screen than they do in real life.

Collect Action Figures That Have Meaning or Value

4. Read Shonen Jump's "Naruto Collector" magazine for news of special action figure releases such as the Naruto Gaara Sand Coffin Statue, which was produced in a limited edition of 2,000 units of colorfully painted cold cast porcelain.
5. Browse Amazon's catalog of Naruto action figures to find other limited edition Naruto collectibles such as the Squad 7 Resin Bookends, the Naruto Shadow Clone Jutsu Statue Figure and the Naruto Nine Tailed Fox Statue Figure (see Resources below). Because these larger and more expensive action figures were issued in limited edition they may have much greater lasting value as collectibles than the usual mix of plastic action figures.
6. Check out the official Naruto website to browse and collect a broad selection of inexpensive Naruto plastic action figures ranging from 3 to 12 inches in height (see Resources below).

Tips & Warnings

• Keep a wish list of some of the action figures or other Naruto collectible items that you most desire. Sometimes toys that you can't afford in May can become real possibilities during the holiday season.
