EBAY LIVE

Did You Miss the Big eBay Live Auction at Anime NYC?

On Anime NYC 2025’s first night, we hosted one of our signature eBay Live auctions packed with rare and exclusive treasures. Fans bid on collectibles like Japan-only figurines from Dragon Ball Z, My Hero Academia, and One Piece, plus original Neon Genesis Evangelion artwork, just to name a few standouts.

The event also featured some incredible special guests. Headlining was Al Kahn, the licensing pioneer best known for bringing Pokémon to the world, along with countless other iconic brands like Cabbage Patch Kids, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Yu-Gi-Oh! He was joined by Abby Trott, the voice of Momo Ayase in Netflix’s Dandadan and of Nezuko in Demon Slayer, now streaming on Hulu, Netflix, and Crunchyroll. Also appearing was Ravengriim, cosplayer, content creator, and host of the upcoming podcast Take a Bite, premiering this fall.

It was a night of fierce bidding, fandom energy, and unforgettable voices. If you missed it, don’t worry. More big moments are on the way!
