Location compilation of anime merchandise stores in Singapore
Where is the best location in Singapore buy anime figurines? Do a quick Google search about anime merchandise Singapore and you will find that many people are asking for information about the best places to shop in Singapore.
Most of these stores are located around central areas such as Dhoby Ghaut, Suntec or Chinatown. Presumably, this would help to encourage shoppers to conveniently come down to the shop or pick up their pre-orders.
The retail landscape in Singapore is extremely dynamic and competitive. Retail stores are losing much of their attractiveness to visit due to the competition of e-commerce.
“Why bother going down to a physical shop location when I can simply buy online and get them delivered to my house at a lower cost?”
After all, Singaporeans are very sensitive to prices – if I can get things at a cheaper price, then I will go for it. As a result, these retail shops change location or close down in a matter of months. Compilation lists such as this become obsolete fast because shops come and go over a short period of time.
I would like to dedicate this post to all local retailers who keep their heads high. These local retailers help to keep the collectors’ dream alive. It is definitely not easy to run a retail business in Singapore because of the expensive rent, overhead and manpower costs.
Top store locations in Singapore to visit for your anime needs!

Location Review
La Tendo has been around since the time of the old Funan Digital Mall. It is one of the easily recognizable anime stores in Singapore. As you enter the shop, rows of glass cabinets filled with your favourite anime figurines can be found neatly displayed. Also, keep a lookout for boxes or racks that have small anime trinkets like keychains or charms. These are usually cheaper and for clearance sale.
La Tendo is located in a prime central shopping mall. You can expect to find that the prices are naturally steep compared to other places because of the costs. The costs are high considering the size of the store and the rent of Suntec shopping mall.
Overall, La Tendo is a delight to visit with its dazzling display of figurines and an extensive variety of anime merchandise. Immerse yourself with the rows and rows of brand new anime figurines before making your purchase.
Candytoyo

Location Review
Nested in the 2nd floor of the Fook Hai Building, Candytoyo is a pretty elusive anime shop in Singapore. After all, it is located in a very old building that deals with traditional and vintage goods. Some of these vintage articles are like vases, jade jewellery, preserved currency notes and many more. Finding this place is almost an adventure, to begin with.
Rest assured, it is exciting to explore this shop!
Greeting visitors, they have a wall filled with Nendoroids. Do check out their sales corner while you are there. In addition, some anime figurines can be bought off the glass cabinets or shelves without the boxes if you are keen.
Lastly, Fook Hai Building has a flea market every Sunday from 9.00 am to about 4.00 pm. Some stores like Candytoyo and Omocha House will participate in the flea market sales.

Location Review
Seimon-Cho gives off a very cutish-kind of vibes. The design and colour scheme that they have incorporated to their stores reminds me of the kawaii fashion trends in Japan. This runs concurrently with the merchandise that they have kept in stock.
