It's pretty hard to find good, reliable information and pictures related to Ghibli merchandise, so I thought it'd be nice to have a thread where we can share our images and info. I'll start off with my current collection:
Warning - very picture heavy!
Firstly, here are pictures of my Spirited Away figurine set by Cominica. Included in the set is Chihiro, Yubaba, and Haku. I was very lucky to get this set MIB on Ebay a couple of months ago.
Front view of the box and the packaging inside it
The packaging removed from the box, which includes a cardboard background of the bathhouse and transparent plastic shaped to protect each figure.
The back of the box, which shows other figurine sets that Cominica make, including Laputa and Kiki sets.
From left to right: Chihiro, Yubaba, and Haku on their box.
Chihiro in her bathouse clothing holding a mop, measures about 3 inches from black base to mop.
Yubaba measures about inches from the bottom of her dress to the top of her hair.
Haku measures about three inches from his black base to the top of his head.
I'll start off with this and add some more of my collection later

Here's one from a box set (Japanese R2) Nausicaa DVD.
Umm... This was pretty good, too. Available only in the Museum.

This is a tin available in Japan in general. For those who can read Japanese, you might want to notice that the writing is from right to left--the way Japanese wrote horizontally until 1947. It says, "Sakuma-style drops."

Wow, everybody's collections make me drool...where do you guys get all this stuff? I can never tell what is Ghibli permission granted collectibles and what have you, and I'd hate to buy anything that takes money away from the company so I never know where to get anything like it.
I love it all so much...Skovgaard, your Nausicaa Collection Ed. set in particular is amazing!

I don't think I've seen this thread before. You guys have some really cool stuff! All I have are the DVDs, and even then I don't have all of them.

I find that eBay is usually the best bet. The OSTs aren't actually that much - I got a bundle of 4 for £20 (Nausicaa, Kiki, Laputa, Porco Rosso), and all brand new/shrink wrapped too, so a fiver each? As far as I'm aware the seller still has the deal going, so check it out! It seemed like a great deal to me When it comes to branded stuff, I think you've just got to be savvy really. Generally I find it's easy to tell which stuff is fake; when it comes to books/cds/dvds, the fonts/graphics are always really rubbish, and if the dvds are 'region free' then they're almost definitely pirated. As a heads up, only one boxset was ever officially produced for Studio Ghibli, and it's Japanese, so all of these 'complete box sets' you see on eBay are bootlegs, often from Malaysia; there seems to be a lot of that going around in general when it comes to anime, I found it a nightmare to get my hands on a real copy of Code Geass! Some shops I'd recommend for real Ghibli merchandise are:
Love Ghibli:
http://loveghibli.ecrater.com/
Jbox:
http://www.jbox.com/home
YesAsia:
http://www.yesasia.com/us/en/home.html
Hobby Link Japan:
http://www.hlj.com/
Tokyo Toys:
http://www.tokyotoys.com/
If anyone's after anything specific just give me a shout; I've done my research (too much research!) so will probably know a website where you can find what you're after.

Whats a good way to search for general ghibli merchandise on ebay? I search studio ghibli merchandise and nothing comes up....
Do you know any ebay stores that sells lots of studio ghibli merch?

Try to be more specific in your search, for example 'Nausicaa figure', and also look under international sellers too; most of the time Ghibli merch can only be imported directly from Japan itself or China. I can probably advise you further if you let me know exactly what you're after
