I didn't realize how many exclusives the Crunchyroll Store has, and it's blown my mind a little
There's also a Summer of Anime Sale that can save you almost $100 right now
Did you know that Crunchyroll has a store? And that it's got a bunch of exclusive statues, box sets, and manga collections to go on your shelf? I didn't. Sure, one of the biggest anime streaming services having its own merch store isn't a surprise. But what I didn't anticipate was how well stocked it was. I mean, damn - there are hundreds of plushies, clothes, pieces of decor, lights, and more filling up these digital aisles.
In terms of those exclusives (which you can check out here), the Crunchyroll Store isn't lacking big names. An eye-catching One Piece - Monkey D Luffy G.E.M Series Figure (the Run! Run! Run! 15th Anniversary Version) immediately springs to mind. This smaller, $49.99 statue nails the character's on-screen look and demeanour - it's so full of personality. The thing that impresses me most though is the molded, clear sea that looks perfect for taking a dip in. It's so well done.
Speaking of which, I'm a big fan of this Jujutsu Kaisen Suguru Geto 1/8 Scale Deluxe Edition Figure too. Aside from a screen-accurate sculpt that makes it feel as if it's leapt out of the anime, it's surrounded by waves of dark energy recreating the moment he breaks out his Cursed Spirit Manipulation technique. It's a little pricier at $201.99, but it's a showstopper and no mistake.
As it so happens, a bunch of cool items at the Crunchyroll Store are also heavily reduced right now as part of the Summer of Anime sale. You can currently save up to $96 across a variety of products that range from the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Manga Box Set to Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid statues, for example. One of the biggest discounts I've found so far is on a Limited Edition My Cat is a Kawaii Girl - Kinako 1/6 Scale Figure that is currently $139 instead of $214.99.
Anyway, those were just my standouts. You can take a look for yourself via the links below.

There's currently a lot of anime, novel collections, manga, Blu-rays, statues, and more with chunky discounts at the official Crunchyroll Store (more than I have time to pick out here, anyway), so it's well worth taking a look to see if there's anything on your wishlist going cheap.
