When you buy limitied edition, what you can get ?


Sofmap is famous for limited anime stuff! It's better to go to offline store!

Some important notes:
1. The reason why we recommend using offline store is sofmap is foreigner friendly store, but still oversea delivery system is not fixed up well.
2. But the reason why many people still using Sofmap is the quality of special goods is really high.
