This page will walk you through filling out the toy submission form!
Before we get started here're some things to note:
- All collectibles will receive custom fit acrylic cases.
- All Inspection Times are estimated in business days and do not include delivery/shipping time.
- Return Shipping time is 2-3 weeks from receiving toy/collectible.
- All toys/items must be measured using the following equation: Height + Depth + Width + additional 2" of case fitting room = Three dimensional fitting
- Case sizes refer to Boxed or Carded Toys of Standard Size Dimensions
- All Action Figures with viewing windows will be sealed with window open unless otherwise instructed.

Action Figure Acrylic Case Costs
Check out TGA Man here as an example:

TGA Man measures 6" (Width [A]) by 11 1/2" (Height [B]) by 2" (Depth [C]). That adds up to 19 1/2" for the figure. Then we add 2" case fitting room to get a total of 21 1/2". Please be sure to always round up. So!
TGA Man would fit within the 24" or less total dimensional fitting. So his standard case cost will be $40.00 based on the chart below:
(16" or less total dim.) | VB1 | $45.00 |
(18" or less total dim.) | VB2 | $55.00 |
(20"or less total dim.) | VB3 | $60.00 |
(22"or less total dim.) | VB4 | $65.00 |
(24"or less total dim.) | VB5 | $70.00 |
(28" or less total dim.) | VB6 | $75.00 |
(30" or less total dim.) | VB7 | $80.00 |
