I’ve been seeing a bunch of anime-themed mystery boxes lately—both in the physical merch scene and in some NFT/crypto-adjacent communities. Seems like every platform is now offering some “limited drop” where you get random anime figures, signed art, or exclusive collectibles... but with very little transparency.
Some boxes cost more than actual licensed merch—and half the time you don’t even know if it’s digital or physical until after you buy.
Not gonna lie, the idea sounds fun for anime fans like me… but also feels like loot boxes dressed up in Web3 clothes. So, legit question:
Has anyone actually found a mystery box platform that isn’t just overpriced RNG?
Or better yet—one that lets fans actually resell or trade their items if they don't like what they pull?
Would love some honest suggestions—especially if there’s one that actually respects the collector side of the anime world.
