Effective this week we have discontinued the empty box request page due to lack of response from customers we attempt to reach out to in response to their form requests. Since we are adding additional customization services we need to strip out this less performing option from our services.
We are continuing to work through the queue of offer requests that have been submitted over the last 2 months. We have just sent out some offers for submissions around the first week of December and will be continuing to send out more offers once we build up enough funds to once again make more offers. Rather than closing the submission page, we simply will be continuing down the queue as we are able to. I'd like to remind people not to reply to your submission receipt email to follow up if we don't respond because that will reset your contact to the end of the queue. If you wish to reach out directly in a separate email or using the contact form, that's totally fine and will preserve your request's place in line.
Due to a back injury I'm going to be down and out for a couple days so orders placed from Tuesday before thanksgiving onwards will be delayed this week until I can manage to stand and work. Sorry for the delay.
We just got our custom section up and will be adding more customs over time as we look for artists who would like to sell through our upcoming consignment program.
We currently have our own intro character of Howl from Howl';s moving castle and he just had his first price drop to $190. Keep an eye out until it drops to its base price or someone snatches him up!
Had some things come up over the weekend and fell a little behind on getting orders out. Should be caught back up over the next couple days. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Our new customization center is just getting started! We need folks to help out and share your customs, techniques and skills with the community. We are looking to provide a variety of guides on Nendoroid customization from the perspective of a variety of community members. We've started with the basic tool lineup video and will be adding some more of our own, but we need your help! We need written guides with photos, step by step pics of customs in process of being made, or videos detailing a particular technique or instruction on the use of certain tools or materials. You can pick from the list below or suggest some of your own. Just reach out via email, on social media, or come chat on Discord (links at the bottom of the main page and to the side bar):
Intro to the tools (already done from our YouTube video)
Beginner guide; picking parts and re-painting
Intermediate guide; modifying parts and painting
Advanced guide; build up re-sculpting, modifying, and painting
Painting guide; techniques for shading and highlighting
We have just ended our Twitter (aka X) account and have started a new TikTok account. My intention is to soon be producing a lot more content at the start of each month and scheduling content releases throughout the month to promote new items, update about changes and additions to the Chop Shop programs and to start sharing more info and resources regarding customization, part compatibility, and Nendoroids in general. So come on over to TikTok, follow us and get ready for what we have to share!
Please remember that if you do not have an active hold order membership as of October 7th, and you still have items on hold, you will need to either submit a ship request order to have your items shipped, purchase a membership, or contact us to make arrangements to give you store credit for the value of your items (less the 10% restocking fee), or you will lose the items in your cache with no refunds or store credit issued. IF YOU HAVE A MEMBERSHIP, you don't need to do anything and your cache will be continued; this concern is just for old caches that don't have active memberships and no recent activity.
Fall is just around the corner and now's the time for some last minute savings from the Chop Shop! Now through Sunday the 7th at midnight we are doing 25% off all split parts in the entire store!
