For your Anime merchandise collection

I don’t know about you, but I ALWAYS have the urge to get at least my favourite character’s figurine especially after watching a new-turn-favourite series. Why? Like all memorabilia, they serve as visual cues. I can recall many scenes, reminders, and feelings with that character just by glancing at the figurine.

The reason for each individual may vary, but for most of us, we grow to love the story, the characters and the message so much so that we want a physical reminder of the values we carried from the show.

Luckily for us residing in Singapore, we have physical stores that sell Anime merchandises. What’s more, we have plenty of Singapore-based online shops where we can get our hands on both fan-made and official merchandises too.

One such website that we want to highlight is Omocha House! Ever heard of it?

What makes Omocha House different than other local Anime stores that you might have heard of is, that the store is run by a collector himself! For a collector, by a collector — making the entire purchasing experience more intimate and extra special.

Omocha House started in 2013 as a side-business and managed to grow into a full-time home business since 2020. This was possible by none other than supportive and passionate collectors who keep coming back to Omocha House for new collection purchases and also casual individuals who got to find the characters that they want from Omocha House when they couldn’t find it elsewhere.

Just recently, Omocha House launched a new upgraded version website after 8 years of business. The new website presents a beautiful interface that allows customers to browse through a wide variety of anime merchandise. You are able to find products across many anime titles, brands, and series all in Omocha House. They even feature a grown-up edition of their mascot, Rinka! *kawaii desu ne!*
