This is your typical type of figure. Usually in 1/6 or 1/8 scale (so between 7-9 inches tall) and 5000-7000 yen in price depending on the detail and company producing it.

Similiar to PVC figures, Prize Figures are made from cheaper material and have average quality. However, they are only between 500-1500 yen in price. There are some Prize Figures out there though with an amazing amount of quality, so some of them might just surprise you. They get their name because most of them are won in Japanese lottery arcade machines, but some websites also sell them.

Quite short at around 5-6 inches and around 3000 yen in price, Figmas are completely poseable, so you can have them in pretty much any pose or position you want. They also come with lots of accessories and alternative facial expressions.

Skyrocketing in popularity in the past few years, Nendoroids are quite short at 4-5 inches, and approx 2000-3000 yen in price. Like Figmas they come with lots of accessories and alternate facial expressions, and in some cases even an extra body (pictured). There are poseable arm, leg and neck joints, giving you some freedom in how you'd like to display your Nendo.

As the name suggests, Nendoroid Petits are just tiny Nendos, typically around 2.5 inches tall but quite cheap at around £5-£10 individually. In the majority of cases Nendo Petits are extremely detailed for their size, and look adorable to boot.

4-5 inches tall and around the £5 mark, Trading Figures typically don't have very much detail, but in the past couple of years their quality has been increasing.

Garage Kits or "GK's" are figures that you buy unpainted (and usually in bits) that you assemble and paint yourself. For this reason some of them are quite rare, and probably not really worth the hassle. Their quality can differ widely as well.
