We'll be on a holiday from Feb 12 to Feb 23!

Hello dear friends,

We are going to have a few days off from Feb 12 for a public holiday (Chinese New Year). We'll be back on Feb 24. 

During our leave, shipping will be temporarily paused until we return. Everything else will continue as usual.
  • Pre-orders will still be processed normally.
  • Dispatch for in-stock items will be deferred until we are back, including released figures whose balance invoices are paid during the holiday. 
  • Customer support emails will still be handled, though responses may take slightly longer than usual. We aim to reply within 24–48 hours. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

You can explore our website to find good deals and interesting items!

 

Your friends from Giantoy

* Required fields

Payment plans: "full price" and "deposit"

"Full-payment"
  • All in-stock products can only be ordered with this option.
  • All pre-order products support the "full-payment" option. If you order with the full payment option, all payments (including tax and postage) are collected when the order is placed so that you can wait for the shipment with no concerns.

 

"Deposit-payment"

You can order a product by paying a deposit first and the remaining balance when it is getting released soon. "Deposit payment" only applies to the products on pre-order status (some products with relatively low prices only accept "full-payment" options)

  • Deposit amount: $19.99 generally (For a limited few products at higher prices, the deposit can also be set at a higher price)
  • Validity and priority for orders paid with deposit: Same as the orders paid with "full-payment", the reservation is secured after the order is confirmed. After the product arrives, the orders placed with a "deposit" and the balance paid in full will also ship at the same time as the "full-payment" orders.
  • Balance amount: The amount of "full price" on the product page deducting the "deposit". The postage and tax will be collected together with the deposit when the order is placed, the balance amount only includes the remaining of the product price amount (Orders before July 1, 2021, might have a tax added to the balance invoice)
  • Balance payment method: a PayPal invoice will be sent to you. (The billing email is your order email by default. Make sure this email is valid)
  • Opening time of the balance payment: We usually send the invoices after we are notified that the release is coming soon (We might advance the opening time if the product value/quantity is higher than average)
  • Validity of balance payment: The invoice stays valid for 15 days. After the deadline, we will close the order by the cancellation procedure. If you need a longer time to pay, please contact us before the deadline.
  • Deposit refund: Refer to order cancellation policy.

 

Make sure you can receive our emails

In order to avoid missing out on the release notifications and invoices, please make sure you can receive our emails and add us to the safe senders' list.

We will send you these notifications if you pre-order with a "deposit":

  • At the same time we send you the balance invoice
  • When the balance invoice is about to expire
  • If the balance invoice is overdue and canceled

    Deposit option is usually available as long as the product itself is still available to be pre-ordered. However, you may see the deposit option temporarily unavailable in these cases:

    • It might be because that the item is about to be released soon has entered the "balance payment" procedure.
    • Or, it could be that the inventories we put on "deposit" option are temporarily sold out. We probably can still replenish them if the products are still available.

    You can contact our customer service to ask for details.

    The major use of reward points is that they can be redeemed to coupons (store credits). You can use these coupons as money to get discounts on your future purchases.

    We currently support coupon redemption for the following 2 amounts:

    • 500 points for a USD 5.00 off coupon
    • 1000 points for a USD 10.00 off coupon

    The conversion rate between the points and discount value is subject to the actual display. You can access the reward panel and click "ways to redeem" to get more details.

    Click here to load the reward panel (It will display as a pop-up after the page finishes loading) 

     

    Pre-order price guarantee

    • We guarantee that the price of the ordered product (in US dollars) will be the same at the time of the release as when you first ordered it
    • Pre-order products do not apply to any sales campaigns that have direct price markdowns
    • In some cases, if the price is reduced for the reasons of better sourcing costs or competitiveness-related concerns, we will charge you based on the final pricing when the product is released
    • In very rare cases, if we have to rectify the pricing due to system error or staff operation mistakes, we will notify you as soon as the problem is discovered for your advice

    Shipping Policy

    Our product prices already include a base shipping cost. This means the listed price may appear slightly higher, but for many countries, no additional shipping fee will be charged at checkout.

    • Free shipping areas: If your location’s shipping rate is similar to our base shipping cost, a free shipping option will appear at checkout. You can scroll to the bottom of this page to check if your country is included.
    • Other areas: If your location's actual shipping cost exceeds our base rate, you will be charged the difference at checkout.
    • Customs & Tariff Impact Fee: To manage customs duties more smoothly, we include the impact fee in the shipping charge. So the “shipping fee” at checkout may partly cover customs & tariffs we prepay for you—not just postage (View more about Customs, Duties and Tax policy)


    Multiple shipping options

    For some countries, multiple shipping options are available. You’ll see all choices, along with their prices and details, on the checkout page. 

    Standard vs. Premium Shipping

    Shipping options are classified as Standard or Premium based on average delivery times and courier service levels—not based on whether the option is free.

    • Premium Shipping: Typically 1-week delivery via non-postal, expedited commercial couriers.

    • Standard Shipping: Usually 2–3 weeks, depending on seasonal fluctuations and each country's customs and processing times

     

    When Additional Shipping Charges Apply

    Additional fees may apply in the following cases:

    • Standard Shipping is Unavailable

    If we’re unable to use standard shipping due to one of the following reasons, we will automatically upgrade to premium shipping and charge the difference:

      • The package exceeds size or weight limits for all available standard couriers.
      • The service of all available carriers we use for "standard shipping" turns unavailable to your address due to force majeure (e.g. strikes, weather, or policy changes).
    • Split Shipments Under Premium Shipping

    Premium shipping includes a fixed fee per package. If your order requires multiple shipments, we’ll contact you to collect a surcharge for the extra packages.
    Note: Split shipments under standard shipping do NOT incur additional charges.

    This item is in-stock (released) and could ship immediately.

    When you are seeing this badge, it means this product is already in our warehouse for despatch, and has finished its pre-order status. We can arrange shipping for you as soon as receive your order.

    How long is our processing time? 

    For most items in "in-stock" status, our processing time is 1~3 business days. You would receive an auto-sent shipping notification email when we despatch. 

    Can I order in-stock items together with pre-order items? 

    You can do that of course! We would split the order based on the items' supply status, and ship the in-stock ones in bulk first. 

    100% Original

    We supply products in m.i.n.t. condition from direct suppliers and ensure authenticity from the shown brand (see label around product title).

    Cancellation & Refund

    • Buyers don't have access to cancel the order(s) directly. To cancel an order, you need to submit a request to us. The order can be canceled after the request is approved. The cancellation request needs to be submitted before the despatch. An order cannot be canceled after it is shipped. If you still need to withdraw the purchase, you need to send it back at your own expense through the return process.
    • Cancellation requests for buyers' reasons might have a cancellation fee (Especially, the cancellation requests due to a change of mind because of the release delay also apply to this policy)

     

    Cancellation fee

    For cancellations of most regular products (not indicated as "non-refundable deposit"), a refund will be provided after the request is approved.

    In order to secure the reservation for all pre-orders, we make purchase contracts with the suppliers that include non-refundable deposits and purchase commitments. Cancellations will cause additional purchasing/warehousing costs for us. In order to take better control over the purchase plans and storage costs, please kindly understand that we need a part of the payment as a cancellation fee to offset the risks and costs.

    • No cancellation fee for cancellations made within 7 days from the date of the purchase. A full refund will be provided.
    • 15% of the paid value of the canceled products will be deducted as a cancellation fee for requests made after 7 days from the date of purchase (up to a maximum of $10 per item)
    • For requests made after the release:
      • Orders paid with "deposit": 50% of the paid deposit will be deducted as a cancellation fee. If we still cannot get in touch with you when the balance invoice deadline is due, we will close the order and send you a $10 voucher by default
      • Orders paid with "full amount": 15% of the paid value of the canceled products will be deducted as a cancellation fee (up to a maximum of $10 per item)

     

    For a few products indicated as "non-refundable deposit"

    • Orders paid with "deposit": No refund.
    • Orders paid with "full amount": 15% of the paid value of the canceled products will be deducted as a cancellation fee (up to a maximum of $30 per item)

     

    Cancellations with no relationship with the buyer(production cancellation, inventory sold-out, shipping suspension) will not incur any cancellation fee.

     

     

    Refund payment method for canceled orders

    • If the order is within 180 days, we will send you a refund on the primary transaction.
    • If the order is more than 180 days ago, we will send you a PayPal transfer/voucher/reward points to pay you back. When you claim the PayPal transfer, there will be a PayPal transaction fee (about 4%) on your end.
    Product price policy
    • To help you better estimate the full cost on the product page, our pricing already includes a standard shipping cost, which makes it look higher than the market price. However, if you are from our "free shipping areas", it also means that you do not need to pay any postage when checkout (Refer to the real-time display on the checkout page for details)
    • Different variants of the same product can come at different prices. Click the variant to confirm its price.
     
    • If you choose to pay a "deposit" to place pre-orders, the remaining balance will be charged separately with a PayPal invoice when the release is coming. The amount of the balance is the displayed "full price" amount deducting the "deposit" amount.
    • Our pricing/transaction currency is USD
      • You can select different currencies when browsing the store, but all prices will be converted to USD after you submit the cart to the checkout process
      • We also use USD to calculate the remaining balance of the pre-orders made with deposits (as the balance payment is usually scheduled several months after the deposit payment, the final amount in your local currency may fluctuate due to exchange rate changes)

    We will notify you by this email for everything related to your purchase on our website, including:

    1. Order confirmation
    2. Shipping notification with tracking number
    3. Order communication
    4. Pre-order release notification
    5. PayPal invoice for pre-order remaining balance
    6. Customer support emails

    🇪🇺 Tax policy for EU orders 

    All EU orders are subject to a small customs impact fee. We handle VAT and customs clearance through our IOSS number, so your package will arrive directly—no extra steps or payments required from your side.

    • Amount: The fee is based on the product category and capped at $5 under current EU tax regulations. (Please refer to the spreadsheet below for a breakdown.)
    • How it's charged: This fee is included in the shipping cost at checkout.
    • Taxes of history orders: For pre-orders made with deposits before July 21, 2021, we will add the tax to the balance invoice. The taxes are waived for history orders made with full payments.

     

    🇺🇸 Customs & Tariff policy for US orders

    Since April 2025, the U.S. suspended the de minimis exemption for goods imported from China and Hong Kong. 

    To protect our customers from unexpected fees, we’ve adopted a prepaid shipping method. All customs duties and tariffs are now handled in advance on our end, so there’s nothing more for you to pay upon delivery.  

    • 🟢 Current impact fee: (Updated: May 17, 2025) 

      As of now, we are still offering free shipping to the U.S. following the recent tariff rate reduction. We'll monitor the development of the policies and the long-term impact on our shipping costs. 

    • ⌛️Possible future impact fee: 

      The duties-covered shipping method is very expensive. If the tariff rates are elevated in the long-term, we may introduce a small impact fee to help cover costs. The fee would depend on the product category, usually around $5–$10 for 1/6 boxed figures —similar to EU orders—with lower amounts for small figures & accessories. 

       

      • 💚 Please rest assured: if we don’t charge this fee when your order is shipped, it means we’ve already taken care of all related costs on our end, and your package will arrive without any additional charges. 

      •  

        🔁 If any changes: We’ll update the info here and let you know before your order ships. The affected amount will also show transparently on the checkout page, or the shipping cost line of your invoice. 

    Product weight and shipping weight limit

    The estimated product weight is displayed on the product page and is a gross value after packing.

    If your shipping address is outside the areas below, there are no weight limits on your packages. we have alternative shipping plans to carry heavier packages with no additional fees on your end. You do not need to consider weight limits when ordering.

    If your shipping address is within the areas below, there are limits on the weight of the packages we can send. You can still choose a relatively economic "standard shipping" plan to place the order:

    • If the overweight issue can be solved by split shipments, we will split the order into several packages and charge no additional fees
    • If your order is included with a single item over the weight limit and placed with the "standard shipping" plan, we will hold the shipment and contact you for advice
      • You can upgrade the shipping to "premium shipping" by paying the shipping price difference
      • You can provide us a new address outside the areas with weight limits

     

    Notes: 

    Remote areas in the U.S.: ZIP Codes 006-009, 967-969, 995-999. The other areas do not have this limit.

    India 2

    Shipping time (supply status)

    A product available to be ordered can come with 2 supply statuses: "pre-order" or "in-stock" (you can tell it by the product title or supply status label on the product page)

    • In-stock products: Generally shipped 1-3 days after the order is placed.
    • Pre-order products: These need to be shipped after the official release from the supplier. The actual shipping time is only subject to the notice from the supplier. Due to the complexity of the production of art collectibles, which involves a great deal of purely manual work, the actual release time is usually later than the estimated release time at the time of the pre-order opening. We are not responsible for any production delays at the end of our suppliers.

    If your order includes items with different shipping estimate times (e.g. in-stock items and pre-order items, pre-order items with different release times), we will split it into separate packages and always send the available items firstly.

    Due to the limited production quantity and times of production, some items can sell out soon. The sold-out items will display a "sold out" status and cannot be added to the cart.

    • The change in the product availability does not influence the validity of confirmed pre-orders (if your order was paid with only a deposit, the balance payment is with a PayPal invoice separated from the website order systems and thus not influenced by the "sold-out" status)
    • Some items might still get restocked. You can click the "Notify me when available" button to subscribe to the notifications when restocked.
