Want to start collecting figures but don't know where to begin, seeking advice!

As a complete beginner wanting to start collecting figures, I'm really confused by the sheer number of brands and price points.

I'd like to ask:
1. Should a beginner start with prize figures or scale figures?
2. Which brands offer the best value for money?
3. Where is the safest place to buy (afraid of getting bootlegs)?
4. What should I pay attention to regarding storage and maintenance?

My budget is about $500-1000 per month; is this enough to get started? Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Recommended brand: GSC (Good Smile Company)'s Nendoroid series. Small but exquisitely crafted, around $300.

A monthly budget of $500-1000 is already very generous! Prize figures are $100-300, and Nendoroids are $300-500. You can pick up 1-2 figures every month.

Welcome to the rabbit hole! But be prepared... once you enter, there's no turning back😂 You should assess your wallet's endurance first.

Professional advice from a figure expert: Beginners should start with prize figures! The quality of Banpresto and SEGA prize figures is very high nowadays, and you can get them for under $200.

How to identify a counterfeit: check the price (if it's too cheap, there's definitely an issue), check the packaging (authentic ones have clear printing), and check for authentication stickers.

If you have a display screen, figure photography is actually a great way to enjoy the hobby. Taking photos and sharing them can really add to the fun of collecting.

From the perspective of customization: If you want to get into customization later on, I suggest starting with Bandai model kits. You can learn as you build.

The most important things for storage are dust protection and avoiding light! Figures are most afraid of dust and UV rays. IKEA's Detolf display cabinet is a great entry-level choice.

The most important advice: only buy characters you truly like. Don't buy blindly just because they are "pretty" or "limited edition."

The channel you buy from is very important! I recommend AmiAmi (the cheapest in Japan), HobbySearch, and the official GSC website. Regular shops in Sino Centre are also OK.

Advice from a figure photographer: After you get it, take a few photos using good lighting. This habit can help you better appreciate the details of every figure.
