00:00Paragraph 1 O'clock, Midnight to Zero Twelve
00:03Okay, so you wanna start collecting anime blind boxes but you have no idea where to begin and honestly, the
00:09prices out there are terrifying.
00:11I spent way too long digging through listings and I found 5 that are cheap, well-loved, and basically impossible
00:17to regret.
00:18This is my top 5 anime blind boxes for first-time collectors.
00:23Paragraph 2 Product 1, Zero Twelve to Zero Thirty-Five
00:27Kicking things off with the one that made me do a double-take
00:31This Naruto Shippuden Akatsuki Arc Series has over 4,700 sales and a 4.8 rating, and it's $6.25.
00:40You're gambling on which Akatsuki member you pull, and that guess is half the fun.
00:45For that price, buy two.
00:47One to open, one to keep sealed and feel smug about later.
00:52Paragraph 3 Product 2, Zero Thirty-Five to Zero Fifty-Five
00:56Number 2 is the Mankiki Lying Posture Figure, and it's absurdly cute, these little dolls lying flat on their stomachs,
01:02perfect for sticking on the back of your phone or a shelf edge.
01:06$6.04, 4.9 stars, over 4,000 sold.
01:11This is the one I'd hand to a friend who says I don't really collect stuff.
01:15They will.
01:17Give it a week.
01:19Paragraph 4 Product 3, Zero Fifty-Five to One Twenty-One
01:23Third up, a six-pack of Shaoxin Screen-Lying Figures for $5.14.
01:29Yes, six pieces.
01:31That's the best value on this list, hands down 4.9 rating, 4,000 plus sold.
01:37They're small, they're kawaii, they clip onto a dashboard or a monitor, and if you lose one, you do not
01:42care, because you have five more.
01:45Perfect Starter Set If You Want Quantity Without the Guilt
01:49Paragraph 5, Product 4, 121-144
01:53Number 4 is the Committee Animal Figurine Box at $4.66, cheapest on the list.
01:59Kawaii Animal Characters, Desk or Car Decoration, and again a 4.9 rating with 4,000 sold.
02:05What I like here is the variety, every box feels genuinely different, so trading with friends actually works.
02:12If you're collecting on a tight budget, start here and work your way up.
02:17Paragraph 6, Product 5, 144-207
02:21And last, the big one, Sunny Angel Hippers, Dreaming Series
02:26$8.84, the priciest here, and still 4.9 stars with nearly 3,800 sold.
02:33These are the ones everybody posts online, the phone and computer decorations that make people ask wait, where'd you get
02:39that?
02:40If you want one box that actually feels like a gift, this is it.
02:44Birthday, Christmas, whatever, it lands.
02:48Skipped, on-screen text cues and b-roll notes, add when editor needs shot list.
