So my old anime merchandise isn't selling. It's crappy stuff like an Edward Elric bobblehead doll or Toonami licensed Tenchi Muyo figures like in this pic. I feel weird donating this stuff to my local thrift store run by little old ladies.
Do specialty thrift stores exist for anime toys? Or even thrift stores for video game/comic book/nerd culture in the USA? Or just send this crap to the thrift store run by the little old ladies?

Call local comic shops and ask if they'd be interested.

It's not weird at all OP.
Best find in my entire life was when I was visiting family in the middle of Bumfuck Wyoming, in this teeny tiny little town of about 2000 people. We went to the town yardsale one afternoon and I found a huge cardboard box full of Ultra Brothers/Kaiju/Kamen Rider vinyl figures. About 25 of them, which I picked up for ten bucks.
The guy selling them said that they belonged to a tenant who worked at the nearby power plant a couple of years earlier, who'd just up and skipped town. He had no clue as to what they were and just wanted to get them out of his shed.

So yeah, If a local comic shop doesn't want them, take them to a thrift store. There may be some poor anime junkie that just might get the surprise of their lives.

Maybe they'd sell if you took off the $5.99 KB price sticker first.

the old Trigun figures were a step forward and very under appreciated for how good they were at the time. Naito was basically the japanese equivalant of a weeaboo when it came to American superheroes and toys, recall that he had a big part in making sure the figures were the top of their game at the time.

because in that case he liked the idea of the silly crazy gimmicks that you can have in such basic pose figures over the superior sculpt that mcfarlane was putting out. He was acknowledging the awesomeness of McFarlane but still had a very strong guilty pleasure in the simplistic Kenner style figures of the west with action gimmicks is how I saw his personality from that little comic.

Think there were some more pages like that where he was geeking out over toys, I will have to search through the comic again sometime.

But you are going to make me get off my ass and do something. tommorow i will give it a good look. I always did wish Naito would do some more stuff sometime, his stuff always tickles just the right tastes.

We call those westaboo's. Hideo Kojima is another notable westaboo.
