1. What inspired us to launch the new Japan Figure theme?

The Japan Figure theme update was driven by one simple question: How do collectors actually shop? Over time, we saw clear patterns:

Many collectors want used or pre-owned figures to save money or find discontinued releases
Pre-order deadlines are often missed due to time zones and unclear release info
Large catalogs can feel overwhelming without smart navigation
International customers want clearer order tracking after checkout

Instead of adding random features, we rebuilt the theme based on real user feedback, browsing data, and buying behavior. The goal was simple: remove friction and give collectors more control at every step. Scroll on to see how the updated theme transforms the shopping experience as we guide you through every improvement and new enhancement.

2. What’s totally new in the Japan Figure theme update?

To better support modern collectors, the Japan Figure theme update starts with a strong visual and structural transformation. The new theme is not only about adding features, but also about redefining how Japan Figure looks, feels, and guides collectors through a growing catalog.

From a bolder dark-themed UI with signature pink highlights to smarter product discovery tools like pre-order by month, IP-based browsing, and monthly top rankings, every update is designed to help collectors find the right item faster and shop with confidence.

2.1 A bold new UI: Dark theme, pink accents, stronger Japan Figure identity

The first thing collectors will notice is the visual shift of the entire website. Japan Figure has moved from a brighter interface to a dark-based theme, combined with pink accent colors to create a sharper, more confident, and more recognizable brand identity.

Japan Figure new theme updates: Faster, clearer, collector-first shopping

This UI update is not just aesthetic, it improves focus, reduces visual noise, and makes key information stand out more clearly while browsing.

Old theme: Brighter tone, softer contrast, brand identity less distinctive
New theme:
- Dark background for better focus on products
- Pink highlights to emphasize actions, prices, and key sections
- Stronger, more consistent visual identity aligned with Japan Figure’s personality

2.2 Buy both new & used (pre-owned) figures with clear price comparison

Beyond the visual update, Japan Figure has expanded how products are offered to better match real collector needs. Collectors can now shop both new and used (pre-owned) figures with full transparency, making it easier to compare options and choose the best value.

This is especially useful for collectors looking for rare, discontinued, or budget-friendly items, without sacrificing clarity or trust.

Old theme: Only new products, limited buying options
New theme:
- Sell both new and used (pre-owned) figures
- Side-by-side price comparison
- Clear condition labels to support confident decisions

2.3 Smarter pre-order experience with timelines and countdowns

Pre-orders remain a critical part of figure collecting, and missing a deadline can mean losing a highly anticipated release. The Japan Figure theme update introduces a fully redesigned pre-order experience that makes upcoming releases easier to track and plan.

Upcoming items are now clearly organized by month and year, supported by visual timelines and countdowns to help collectors stay ahead.

Old theme: Scattered pre-order listings, harder to track timelines
New theme:
- A full pre-order category
- Pre-orders grouped by month and year
- High-quality official images
- Live countdown for near releases

2.4 Product ranking system across the entire website

To help collectors quickly identify what’s popular and trending, the new theme introduces a ranking system applied across all products on the website. These rankings highlight what other collectors are actively viewing and buying, making discovery easier and more data-driven.

Old theme: No clear indicator of popular or trending products
New theme:
- Product rankings applied to all categories
- Monthly ranking updates
- Highlighted “Top products” sections on homepage and category pages
- Helps collectors spot trending items at a glance

2.5 Mega menu redesigned for faster discovery by IP and collector interest

As the Japan Figure catalog continues to grow, navigation becomes a critical part of the experience. The redesigned mega menu focuses on how collectors actually search: by IP, popularity, and intent.

Key product categories and highly searched items are now highlighted directly on the homepage and menu, helping collectors discover relevant figures faster without digging through multiple layers.

Old theme: Basic navigation, harder to explore large catalogs
New theme:
- Re-categorized based on user intent
- Clear browsing by IP, brand, series, and product type
- Highlighted popular categories and items on the homepage
- Hottest product recommendations shown directly in the mega menu

3. What’s been improved from the previous version?

In addition to brand-new features, the Japan Figure theme update also focuses on refining existing tools that collectors use every day. These improvements are aimed at saving time, reducing confusion, and improving post-purchase confidence.

3.1 Product cards redesigned to show more, faster

Product cards are where buying decisions happen, and the new theme ensures collectors get all essential information at a glance. The redesign focuses on speed, clarity, and comparison, without forcing users to open multiple tabs.

Old theme: Simple layout, limited information
New theme:
- Clear pricing for new vs used products
- Original price vs sale price
- Release date for upcoming items
- Countdown to release
- Multiple product images displayed directly within the product card, allowing customers to preview details without opening the product page

3.2 Wishlist feature upgraded for better visibility and easier management

The wishlist continues to support how collectors plan and organize future purchases. In both the old and new versions, users can add items to their wishlist directly from individual product pages or instantly from product cards while browsing product lists, then access all saved items from the wishlist page via the header.

However, the new Japan Figure theme significantly improves the interface itself, delivering a smoother flow and making saved products easier to review and manage.

Old theme:
- Dull, black-and-white design
- Flat layout with weak visual hierarchy, making saved products harder to scan
New theme:
- Upgraded UI design with a black-and-pink theme
- Clearer visual hierarchy for easier scanning and management of saved products
- Improved overall readability while browsing and planning purchases

This visual upgrade makes the wishlist not only more appealing, but also more practical for collectors managing multiple saved items over time.

3.3 Loyalty point icon repositioned for higher visibility

Loyalty points are valuable, but only if collectors can easily find and use them. The Japan Figure theme update improves visibility to ensure dedicated fans get the most out of every purchase. This small change significantly improves engagement with the reward system.

Old theme: Bottom-right corner so that it's easy to miss
New theme:
- Always visible and accessible
- On mobile: Displayed as a gift icon in the fixed bottom navigation bar, always visible while browsing
- On desktop (PC): Placed prominently in the header area, ensuring quick access at any time

3.4 Out-of-stock registration upgraded for faster notifications

Popular and limited figures often sell out quickly. The updated out-of-stock registration system ensures collectors have a higher chance of securing items when they return. The new design focuses on clarity and reliability, reducing the risk of missed notifications.

Old theme:
- Small, basic email-only form
- Easy to miss updates
New theme:
- Improved, clearer registration form
- Register via email and phone number
- Faster, more reliable restock notifications

3.5 Order tracking redesigned for clarity and peace of mind

For international collectors, tracking is a key part of the shopping experience. The new theme introduces a modern, user-friendly tracking interface designed to reduce uncertainty after checkout. This upgrade builds trust and improves transparency throughout the delivery process.

Old theme: Tracking access was mainly buried within order-related pages, making it less visible after checkout
New theme:
- Tracking shortcut exposed as a truck icon right on the homepage floating bar
- Slightly refreshed tracking interface for improved readability
- Faster access to shipment updates without navigating through multiple pages

The Japan Figure new theme update is designed to support how collectors actually shop, offering better tools, clearer information, and a smoother experience from start to finish. This is the perfect time to explore new and used figures, join upcoming pre-orders, and create an account to unlock powerful features such as the wishlist, loyalty points, and advanced order tracking.
