Quick Answer
KOTAMON has 12 figurines tied to Exhibit A, Where Will I Keep It?, A New Hobby and I Need a Bigger Shelf. Current community guides point to a mixed route: check six landmark-style spots first, then keep clearing trash piles for the remaining finds.
What Are Figurines?
Collectable figurines are hidden-treasure style finds tied to four achievement thresholds.
Achievement Milestones
1 figurine: Exhibit A. 5: Where Will I Keep It? 9: A New Hobby. 12: I Need a Bigger Shelf.
Before Resetting a Trash Pile
Pick up visible figurines, audiotapes, cosplay cases, cereal boxes and other unusual valuables before generating a new pile or heavily moving nearby clutter. If you cannot pick something up yet, record the pile state first so a reset does not erase your best clue.
6 Known Landmark Checks
Community routes repeatedly mention checks under the crashed car hood, behind the sell trash or recycling machine, behind Jenny-related house or office corners near tires, beside the garage, behind large trash piles near the fence, and on the roof under the antenna. Treat the exact figurine identity as variable; track the pickup count, not a fixed character-to-location pairing.
Why Guides Say All 6 When Achievements Need 12
Some guides focus on six repeatable or landmark-style figurines, while Steam achievements still require 12 total. Do not stop at 6/12; use those landmarks as the first sweep, then continue trash-pile cleanup until the 9 and 12 figurine milestones are actually credited.
Figurines Disappeared After Restart
If shelf visuals look empty after a restart, first check Steam achievement progress and your local count before replaying the whole route. Treat shelf display, pickup count and achievement unlock as separate signals until a current-build bug is verified.
All 12 Figurines Checklist
Use the local 1-12 tracker as your route sheet. Number each figurine when it is accepted by the game, not when it is only seen, moved or suspected.
Spawn Chance Patch Note
The August 22 update says the chance of finding collectible figurines was increased. It does not publish a fixed spawn table, so this page treats figurines as patch-improved finds rather than guaranteed coordinates.
How to Record a Find
When you pick up a figurine, record the count, nearby landmark, trash heap state and patch date before recycling nearby objects. That is the data needed before a location can safely become a checklist row.
Patch Notes
The August 21 update says valuable items such as collectible figurines can be picked up again if thrown into the trash grinder.
Recovery Checks
If a figurine was thrown into the grinder, first check whether it can be picked up again after the patch behavior. Then verify whether the achievement counter already advanced.
Missing Last Figurine or Stuck at 11/12
If you are stuck at 11/12, do not overwrite your only good save. Recheck the six landmark-style spots, compare shelf visuals against Steam achievement progress, pick up every visible valuable before creating a new pile, and record whether a new pile changed loose valuables before continuing the grind.
What This Page Does Not Claim
This page does not publish fake exact coordinates. A location needs screenshot evidence or repeatable gameplay verification before it becomes a location row.
