Our verdict
McFarlane Toys suits fans who want action figures from a set list of named anime, video game and Marvel licences, and who care about sculpt detail more than variety of format. You buy from a named company, TMP International Inc., and buyers elsewhere read its cross-border terms instead of a local shop's.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Action figures are what this shelf is built around, and the company puts design-driven attention to detail up as its own standard in the category, so a collector judging sculpt and paint buys from a brand rather than a reseller.
- Terms, orders and support sit with one named company, TMP International Inc., so a question about an order has a party to point at rather than a chain of middlemen.
- The range runs from Demon Slayer anime through Marvel and Call of Duty game worlds, so several fandoms order from the same place instead of hunting separate makers.
- The business is based in the United States and keeps offices in Tempe, Arizona, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Montreal, which keeps the maker, not a broker, behind the figures.
Cons
- Support runs on email, phone and community, with no live chat in that set, so a question outside those routes waits for the next opening.
- The company is based in the United States, so buyers elsewhere order across a border and read its delivery, duty and returns terms instead of a local shop's.
- The seller behind the brand name is TMP International Inc., and its terms name several related companies, so check which entity your receipt names before a return.
Who it suits
- Fans of Demon Slayer anime figures who want Marvel or Call of Duty characters on the same shelf.
- Collectors who judge a figure on sculpt and paint detail rather than on how many formats a shop carries.
- Buyers who want a named company behind the figures and a way to reach it by email, a phone line or a community forum.
Who should look elsewhere
- Collectors whose shelves need collectible formats other than action figures.
- People who expect live chat help, since support here runs by email, a phone line and an online community.
Who runs it
McFarlane Toys runs through a small group of related companies, and the company behind your order is TMP International Inc. That same entity appears in the terms beside the brand name you shop under, so it is the party to write to when an order needs attention and the name worth keeping for a return. The business is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona and keeps offices in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Montreal, which puts its home base in the United States on paper as well as on its own site. Buyers outside that country therefore read its delivery, duty and returns terms rather than a local shop's, and there is no other company to escalate to when an order goes wrong. Reaching the company goes by email, a phone line and an online community, and those routes run through the same named company, so keep your order number and the name on your receipt when you write. A question that fits none of those routes waits for the next opening, which matters most when a release has moved quickly and stock has moved with it.

Frequently asked questions
Which properties do McFarlane Toys figures come from?+
The range covers anime, video games, marvel and more, and the catalogue names the series behind them: Demon Slayer for anime, Marvel and Call of Duty for game worlds. If the character on your shelf comes from those lines, this is a store built for it.
Who do I actually buy from when I order?+
Your order sits with TMP International Inc., the company named in the terms alongside the brand you recognise. That is the party to write to about an order, and the name to keep for any return. Several related companies appear in those terms, so the receipt tells you which company answered you.
Where is McFarlane Toys based?+
It is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, so the company sits in the United States, with offices in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Montreal. Buyers outside that country order across a border from that base, which shapes delivery times, duties and how returns are handled.
Is McFarlane Toys a shop or a brand?+
It is a brand rather than a shop full of independent sellers, so what you can order follows the maker's lineup and its licensed characters. Orders, payments and support all come from that same company, which keeps the counterparty simple and narrows the choice.
How do I get help with an order?+
Support goes by email, a phone line and an online community, and the people answering sit inside TMP International Inc. Have your order number ready when you write, and keep the name from your receipt. Those are the routes on offer, so a question that fits none of them has no faster path.
What should buyers outside the US know before ordering?+
Because the company is based in the United States, with offices in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Montreal, delivery, duties and returns follow its own terms rather than a local retailer's. Read the shipping and returns notes before you order, particularly for a large figure or a limited release.
Should I compare McFarlane with other figure shops?+
Start from the licences you want, then check price and seller. McFarlane's range is built around named anime, video game and Marvel lines, and orders run through TMP International Inc., with support by email, a phone line and a community.
