And sorta efficient spending too though specialy if you wanna buy figures they are crazy pricey+shipping and he bought em for half the price or less which is nuts
did someone count how much that was total 👁👁 that said, I was in Japan just fairly recently as well but didn't find as many things to buy as Doro did! The money are not the problem, finding these things IS!
Unless they did a second run without the lights, the Ningguang figurine should actually have lights on it. You need to put batteries in the bottom of the lamp base. Then you take the biggest scroll (It'll be heavier then all the rest because of the magnet) and tap the bottom of the lamp base to turn it on.
As someone who love how Ning is designed, that last figure is something I really sought for. Ahh. The smile in my face when I saw the figure was really big. She really is gorgeous.
BRO IM SO MAD!! I saw Ninnguang also in Akihabara but she was 250 when converted. She was also way too big and I didn’t trust myself to carry it while shopping. But I’ll never regret not buying her because one series I’m head over heels for is Spice and Wolf. My old figure broke because of an earthquake and it crushed me ever since… then one day in Japan- I found Holo again! And mind you- I’ve been in Japan for a MONTH- and she didn’t show up at Akihabara ONCE!! Where did I find her? Deadass a local shop walking distance from the apartment haha. Typically the figure goes for 200-300- BRO I got it for 120 and it’s now my most expensive figure I own XD. Genuinely as a tourist and if your currency is good- you really be ballin haha. I sent home two boxes worth of goods (shipped) and I held my Holo figure in the plane bro XD But that Ninnguang… DAWG next time I go back- hands down the only figure I’ll buy haha. Unless I find more but aughhh I want it!!
The Ningguang figure actually gets even better. There’s a pile of coins on the base that’s detachable that hides peg holes for Ganyu’s figure. Yes! You can attach Ganyu to Ningguang’s base and make it a paired figure!
I was having a pretty crappy morning until I watched this video over breakfast. Your unbridled joy and enthusiasm for all your great purchases just lifted my whole day. Thank you! 🙂
as a person who own the same figure ningguang, I tell you that the lamp can be light up, look at the bottom of the lamp, and there is a battery holder, open it, use the battery CR 1632, put it back, then use the thickest papreroll to light it up, thanks for readign my comment
The reason some figures are cheap at Mandarake is that they are usually second-hand. Mandarake buys these figures, checks them for damages, and ensures they are in good condition before displaying them. If an item's box is damaged, it will have a sticker indicating this and the price will be marked down. However, despite being second-hand, these figures are often in great condition, and some are completely unopened. Mandarake is one of the best places to look for rare figures, plastic models, and other items.
I miss Japan so much! Wish it wasn't that expensive to get and be there 😢 Ninguan figure is amazing, I saw it my local anime shop and the quality is crazy! I also loved how you got Kaveh and Alhaitham's freebie cards 😂 Literally always come in a set, do not separate the boyfriends ❤
If you want a good anime store, there is a store called amiami, located on the 4th floor of a building called Radio Kankan near the Akihabara train station. It is a little pricy, but it has some of the best figures I have ever seen.
23:41 so just a month ago, my school launched a festival. And in that festival they sell a lot of action figures like chainsaw man etc, and of all of things that they sell, the first thing that I saw was an action figure of aether, and it’s the same as in the video and it only costs Rp 280,000 (just google how much that is to dollars) and they have a lot more than just aether, they have Mona, Paimon and even chungyun. Oh and they have frikin diluc That’s all :)
I play Person five and Genshin Impact posts the games can get really frustrating so anytime I do get frustrated I turn off whatever I’m using to play it and I watch your streams/yt videos and it makes me feel 19x better especially klee’s happy birthday voice line video. It was so cute.❤
My auntie is Japanese and she says that if there’s a chance we can go to Japan together, she’ll take me to all the stores where I can buy awesome Genshin impact merch. Your video has made me even more excited to go to Japan 😂
Omg , your drawings ! 😍. Don`t ever stop drawing, you are very talented . Also if you want to translate the books , or at least the parts that you like , use the google application ( google translate) that can translate through camera , very useful tool. I am glad that you enjoyed Japan!
I remember when me and my family went to Scarborough and on the coast, we found a store called Ancient Warrior, it had so many sword replicas made with proper metal. They also had a few Genshin impact swords, such as Lion's Roar and Freedom Sword.
lol you def bought a lot though that Ningguang in the fancy box is top tier. I hope you had a lot of good food though! Also for future reference if you don't mind paying for it you can get it delivered safely to where ever you're staying for a relatively good price so you don't have to haul it around. XD I'd normally say just get a locker but that looked way too big for a standard station locker.
that ningguang statue is the reason I started playing genshin impact lol. I saw her at otaku figure museum in İstanbul/Türkiye and now you have her on your own shelf damn cool!!!
14:53 Rurubu is a very popular travel guide book publishing company in Japan. I bought that book as well when it first came out. It feels like they are actually real places you can go to based on the way they write the guides.😂
23:22 I found the Lumine statue as well of this if you wanted that, a bit high on the price for 15,520 jpy at AmiAmi Akihabara today. They had a couple of them there, the Aether as well. You can probably find it if you look across a couple of major hobby type shops.
Hey Doro, great video, i don't play any of the 3 hoyoverse games, simply because i don't have the equipment for it, but your vibe is why i subscribed, have a good day ❤
Oh dayum. Did you try the yakisoba from Lawsons though? Those are incredibly goated imo and the best yakisoba I've ever had. I'm glad you had a fun time in Japan~
Thank you for sharing this with us Doro! So much great Art and this Ninguang statue is a banger. But to be honest, I would do almost everything to get the cute sleeping Kaeya. Okay I mean on this one I'm biased. Meanwhile a c6 Kaeya main...aaahhh that's adorable 😅😁
I live in Japan and am familiar with most of those products, but I don't find them particularly cheap-especially the Ningguang statue at the end. I actually saw that statue yesterday at Fantasy Village, a store that officially sells Genshin merchandise here, and it was priced at 26,400円. It seems like you either got a great deal in Tokyo or benefited a lot from the current dollar conversion. I’ll make sure to look for similar items next time I'm in Tokyo, as I can't even find them that cheap online. Thanks for reminding me about artbooks! They're fantastic, and I want to buy more- especially the Persona one. Also, the Character Calendar Birthday section of that book is awesome. Now I want to find that book, haha.
The only Japanese anime merch worth buying, IMO, is made by Volks. These items are actually made in Japan and face ups are produced by actual people. Often the prices of the limited edition items actually go up in price, so these could be used for investing as well. Volks sell their items directly, via stores and some resellers also sell. Limited edition items need to be pre-ordered or one has to enter a raffle system for an opportunity to purchase such an item.
12:02 I remember buying that at playasia last year. That's pretty good especially those figures play definitely overcharge you if you buy them in the states
If u have the apex ganyu figure; she comes with an extra foot peg to fit her in with the ningguang base. The peg holes are hidden under a pile of leaves.
I miss going to Asian countries in general, you can always find stuff like figurines and stuff much cheaper than in the states. Like I literally got a Levi figurine like for like $30-$40 when it costs like near $100 in the US.
Man I thought I had a steal when I got Ningguang for $200+ shipping at AmiAmi when the yen currency were at their lowest. Buying at Japan is western weeb’s dream
This may be 2 weeks old video! But... that hoodie... That's a masterpiece for F1 fan like me!! 🗣 not a McLaren fan tho, but I love F1, had to compliment that.
Thanks for sharing all this with us! Did you carry all that back on the plane? You didn’t ship anything back? Planning a Japan trip next year and excited to shop!
1:51 I was internally screaming at my phone when I noticed the Lego mimikyu set. 😂 I love the Pokémon Mimikyu. Also I'm hoping you went to the Pokémon center.
I think living in japan is so difficult not like visiting for sometimes, i heard that people there is very introverted if you used to live in social environment it will be so difficult to live in janan
I love my Ningguang figurine! She is in my showcase for nearly 2 years now. But she was expensive! I got her shipped in that big box all the way from japan. Aether and Lumine are together with Paimon on display in my room. So the whole travelling crew is together ^^ Pretty expensive are the import customs fee of those figurines (germany sucks, you really pay a lot on top of the price + shipping). Such figurines are collectible items. The manufacturing of most of them, if you don't buy bootlegs, are extremely high quality. What keyboard is the one you're using? Could you look for any branding or model name (maybe on the bottom)?
While I was in Japan I played Chunithm in Don Quijote arcade pretty much every day, I also won some Snow Miku watches from the claw machine for like 100-200 yens per watch. One thing that I'm pretty salty about tho is that I spent thousands of yens for the claw machine with Touhou Project headphones in it and didn't get them :(
Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
rip to your bank account 😔

Tysm
I got the lumine version of that aether statue, both look amazing
Wow you brought a lot of japanese stuff

that said, I was in Japan just fairly recently as well but didn't find as many things to buy as Doro did! The money are not the problem, finding these things IS!
WE DONT NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT OKAY LOL
it be kinda cheap in japan though, i bought a huge Guts figure for 8000 yen, which was like 40,000 yen if i bought it from home
Chat : how much did you spend?
Doro : we don’t need to talk about that-😂
Audi: Doro, how many of those did you buy?
Doro: Yes.
I’m trying to forget lol
put some yellow led light on that box for Ningguang. It would be an amazing piece of display,
Great idea!!
Ningguang as a nightlight? Yes please!
Unless they did a second run without the lights, the Ningguang figurine should actually have lights on it. You need to put batteries in the bottom of the lamp base. Then you take the biggest scroll (It'll be heavier then all the rest because of the magnet) and tap the bottom of the lamp base to turn it on.
Perfect idea🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Those genshin books are actually so useful if you want to know more about the lore or the characters!
I NEED THOSE
7:18 We got ASMR DORO before GTA 6

It was a hassle but man I love it

As someone who love how Ning is designed, that last figure is something I really sought for. Ahh. The smile in my face when I saw the figure was really big. She really is gorgeous.
nice to see some other videos than genshin lately im really enjoying it! and really likes this video as well
Thank you!
the cute cat purring at 27:46
Doro is back!!!
2:58 his voice sounds like the guy who says: "this is the one" on lycaon's trailer
I mean he’s in a few ads-
That Ningguang figure actually can light up, if I recall correctly
Gotta say, that Aether statue got me more jelly than the Ningguang one which was sweet, especially at that price point. 👍
BRO IM SO MAD!! I saw Ninnguang also in Akihabara but she was 250 when converted. She was also way too big and I didn’t trust myself to carry it while shopping.
But I’ll never regret not buying her because one series I’m head over heels for is Spice and Wolf. My old figure broke because of an earthquake and it crushed me ever since… then one day in Japan- I found Holo again! And mind you- I’ve been in Japan for a MONTH- and she didn’t show up at Akihabara ONCE!! Where did I find her? Deadass a local shop walking distance from the apartment haha. Typically the figure goes for 200-300- BRO I got it for 120 and it’s now my most expensive figure I own XD. Genuinely as a tourist and if your currency is good- you really be ballin haha. I sent home two boxes worth of goods (shipped) and I held my Holo figure in the plane bro XD
But that Ninnguang… DAWG next time I go back- hands down the only figure I’ll buy haha. Unless I find more but aughhh I want it!!
I had a literal eyegasm seeing that Ningguang statue, and I am SUPER jealous of you now, definitely your best bought item!
Doro's fav anime is evangelion whatttttt????? Man there's a reason I love this man and now I love him even more, fav youtuber fr😭😭🤌

ive always wanted to go to japan for a million years to buy sanrio and genshin stuff! also i LOVE ur content!!
Japan has been my dream destination for 10 years 😊
Mine to! You’ll get there!

"How much did you spend?"

The Genshin merch and art book was SICK! The other art books were so nice as well. Im so jealous of that Arther figure 😮
0:48 is that the statue of God Ganpati!!

Ningguang lights up too! And you can place the Ganyu figure on the same base with her!

the ningguang figure was amazing...on the next trip are u gonna buy all the zzz and honkai star rail stuff? :P
these is a reminder why I should work hard coz i love these kind of things T_T Aether and Ning figure
I love my Ningguang figurine! She is in my showcase for nearly 2 years now. But she was expensive! I got her shipped in that big box all the way from japan.
Aether and Lumine are together with Paimon on display in my room. So the whole travelling crew is together ^^
Pretty expensive are the import customs fee of those figurines (germany sucks, you really pay a lot on top of the price + shipping).
Such figurines are collectible items. The manufacturing of most of them, if you don't buy bootlegs, are extremely high quality.
What keyboard is the one you're using? Could you look for any branding or model name (maybe on the bottom)?
what if you tried drawing your favourite genshin characters??? or take up funny requests from your viewers?? :000
now i want a doro art stream
While I was in Japan I played Chunithm in Don Quijote arcade pretty much every day, I also won some Snow Miku watches from the claw machine for like 100-200 yens per watch.
