Choose Group One or Group Two at checkout to receive one random box from that group’s series. Characters can’t be selected; duplicates may occur when buying multiples; secret/chase isn’t guaranteed unless the product page says so.
Whole Set = the complete set of all standard figures for one series (typically one of each); the secret/chase is only included if explicitly stated.
If you have any further questions, please contact us.

Please note characters are random and secret/chase isn’t guaranteed unless stated on the product page. If a seal looks compromised or the box arrives damaged, photograph it on arrival and contact us within 48 hours so we can help.
