The Prequel: The beginning!

Kamiko was founded and is run by two brother, Tom and Carl-Ludwig, who has always had a passion and interest for all things pop-culture!

The idea to start Kamiko came after a collaboration with a supplier of Japanese anime figures based in the Netherlands. By the end of 2022 Kamiko received the first delivery of 170 figures - many figures of which are very rare in the European Marketplace! 

The market for anime figures felt saturated so we wanted to offer something more: a hub where you can order all manner of things from anime figures, pop culture merchandise, to even puzzles or Warhammer.

While we do not yet have the ability to stock all the items we wish, as our customer base grows so does our stock!

Our mission is simple: 

1. Genuine products, for the best prices!

2. Give back and engage with the community!

3. Become your on-stop-shop for all things pop-culture!

 

The First Chapter: The Store!

Having had great success and feedback on our first ever convention, Kodashicon, we decided to gamble on the biggest risk possible: open a physical store! 

This is part of our mission, engage with the community and to provide that safe space for the people sharing our passion. In August 2023 we officially opened the doors to Kamiko in Kristianstad; selling everything from anime figures, Warhammer, and fun merchandise! 

We received massive support from the local area and our followers online, and running this store was some of the most fun we have had running Kamiko. Unfortunately, it was not to last.

Rent was too high, and we couldn't balance our website, storefront, and convention just the two of us. In February of 2025 we made the decision to close our doors.

The Next Chapter: The Cons and the Website!

The passion is rekindled, and closing the store allows us to update our website ,and chase conventions further away than ever before!

Without a physical store we channel our energy and passion into updating our website; where we now host over 25 THOUSAND products! And very shortly there will be a major facelift, so you can find even more products, faster!

We can chase more conventions, further away, and with higher frequency! A big dream of ours is to meet all of you, as close to you as possible! No matter where you are, we want to bring the best of Kamiko right to you! If you know of conventions you’d love to see us visit, let us know!

We have gotten this far with all your support, and we are excited for how much further we can come together!

And with your support Kamiko will become your one-stop-shop for all things pop-culture!

Kamiko is run by just two people, and unfortunately we cannot always keep up with all the latest releases. If you have a figure you would like to buy but cannot find on our website - reach out to us on Info@kamiko.se or on our social media and we will do our best to find it for you! If it a product is out of stock and you are wondering about restock you can reach out to us with the SKU and we will check future availability!

If you have any questions or requests you can always reach us at: info@kamiko.se or our social media!

How does Pre-orders with Kamiko work?

Due to delays from our suppliers, there might occur certain delay in our orders being delivered to customers. Items that say 2 weeks delivery is just an estimate that we reserve may take longer. We place the order, after we receive it in our warehouse we undergo an inspection for quality control, and only then can we send the product to you. If we notice that the delay is significant, we will keep you updated during the process and when you can expect to receive your product.

We have a wide range of upcoming products, many in very limited edition. When you find the product you are interested in pre-ordering, we will immediately reserve the product for you. When ordering, you will have the option for full or partial payment. The remaining sum if you select partial payment is due before we deliver the product – we will contact you regarding this for a smooth experience.  

When we receive the item into our store and have undergone our inspection, we will contact you again with an update on delivery.

Unfortunately, on very rare occassions it can happen that these products when ordered are already sold out before we have time to reserve with our distributor. If this occurs we will of course issue a full refund, and remove the product from the website. The best strategy is to reserve a pre-order as quickly as possible - then the faster we can make an order to our supplier, the greater the certainty that the product will not be sold out. If this occurs, we will cancel the purchase and issue a full refund.

Waiting times

Many products are launched well in advance, with release and delivery in some cases occurring as late as a year later. As a seller in Europe, the goods are sometimes available approximately 2-3 months after it is released in Japan, this means that some goods can be sold out very quickly!

If the delivery estimates change after your order, we will contact you with an update, and if you wish to cancel your order, you may contact us of this so that we can investigate whether we can cancel the delivery.

Return policies

When buying a pre-order, the same consumer laws apply as for regular purchases: you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from receiving the item, and when returning an unopened and undamaged package, a refund is made for the purchase. If the item is opened or damaged upon return, we reserve the right not to issue a full refund. If the purchase is canceled before delivery, we charge an order fee of 20% of the full price of the product. This is to cover costs that arise for us when purchasing pre-orders.

We are not responsible for shipping and return shipping.

Shipping and multiple orders

An order where pre-order and stock items are mixed, we will contact you on shipping preferences. We prefer to ship our products together, which means we will not make delivery until all items in the order are in stock. This also applies to multiple pre-orders.

The best thing for both parties to avoid problems is to make separate purchases per pre-order or to differentiate between pre-order and stock items.

The cost for shipping will be available in the check-out.

Each product will be clearly labeled if it is in stock or pre-order.

Products not in stock
We are an official Warhammer stockist, but unfortunately we do not have the facilities right now to stock their entire range.

But it will be available to order! 

The expected delivery time for Warhammer orders is 3-weeks. The pay-off for our customers however is that we remain cheaper than the Warhammer official website! Well worth the wait!

Pre-order
As a stockist we can reserve new releases prior to their public launch! This means that ordering through us you get both a better price than the official website and you will not have to worry about being stuck in queue!

We will ship the item as soon as they arrive to our store, ensuring you receive your products by launch-date.

"Made in China" might be something that makes some people hesitate, regardless of the type of product. But the truth is that in today's economic climate, many goods are manufactured in China.

**Does this mean poor quality or that my product is of bad quality?**  
Absolutely not!  
Many big brands today manufacture their products in China, and many of these products have even been used to climb Mount Everest! Even high-quality textiles, such as Fjällräven, which one might associate with Swedish production, are made in countries like China and Vietnam.

"Made in China" should not discourage you at all. The difference between products from China lies in the quality control conducted on the produced item. Figures sold from Japan go through a completely different quality control process than those released in China at a much cheaper price. Often what you're paying for is this very quality control, ensuring that the product is of the best possible quality.

Many figures that are copies often have poor fitting issues, such as feet not fitting properly on the base. Some parts can also be hard to attach without slightly bending arms or other pieces.

Kamiko, during a previous inspection, compared an authentic figure to a copy from China from the Fate/Saber series. The authentic figure fit perfectly on the base it came with, and the accompanying sword smoothly went through both clenched hands holding it. The copy, however, lacked in these areas—you had to bend the parts a bit, and the sword appeared bent since the hands didn’t fit perfectly.

You can quickly identify if it’s authentic by checking the box. Authentic products always come with a factory box of the highest quality. The manufacturer's name is always displayed on these boxes, usually on the front but also on the back. Many copies come without a box and lack the manufacturer’s logos. Another way to check the box is to see if the text is in Japanese or Chinese. On authentic products, the text is in Japanese, while many copies have their text in Chinese.

It’s worth mentioning that you shouldn't judge people who buy copies—the choice is entirely up to you! Collecting figures can be an expensive hobby, and we wish for everyone to be able to participate. We’ve all started somewhere, and we are always excited about the growing interest in collecting genuine items from Japan! While we may not help you find cheaper copies, we are more than happy to help you identify such products. Upon request, we can also order an authentic product for you if it’s available.

The benefit of buying genuine products is that you support the producers behind our favorite series! The more support we can give to our favorite series, the greater the chance we’ll see more seasons, more series, or new releases. Hopefully, we can offer you the best products at the best price so we can all contribute to a growing market for anime!
