Who is your favorite Nendoroid?!
The Raphtalia Nendo is on sale NOW!
got.cr/RaphtaliaNendo
My favorite is one of N from Pokémon, but all the Shield Hero ones are really cool too
Also is that a hint at the next season coming soon??
I like the legend of Zelda ones.
I love the Dramatical Murder ones
Oh, this is a difficult question... How i can choose one if all that i have, my favorites?! If chosen by the details, then Lina Inverse and Seragaki Aoba, i think. But I love them everyone!
The price of nendoroids are suddenly reasonable to me
true story
When comes to figures/Nendroid/Figmas etc the Good Smile Company always gave you top notch quality all the time so anything you paid indeed reasonable.
@@TakeshiMitsuhide Not always, at least when it comes to Figmas.
When it comes to quality control, GSC / Max Factory noticeably prioritizes some Figma releases to the detriment of others. Fortunately this only seems to apply to paint apps (they seem to have much stricter quality guidelines for cast quality and the like), but for such expensive figures it really shouldn't be an issue in the first place.
Nendos usually cost 3333 or ~4k, come with lots of additional parts and can be posed.
Nendo prices have never been unreasonable.
Scale figures on the other hand are spiraling out of control and their overall quality isn't improving at all... in fact for some it's a downward spiral *cough* FOTS *cough*
FOTS?
Ah now I see where my money is going
Udayveer Sangha It’s for a worthy cause
@@JD-zp4vn Although I'm still upset a good chunk is made in China. It's probably a majority of the reasons why we see more bootleg nendoroids. Because of that, there is no way to control the bootleg market. I see too many people comment being like "Well if its a good looking fake, I don't mind" when there is a reason why the price is high on figures. Quality and attention to detail. Yet at the same time people who are getting into the figure collecting hobby typically don't know where to buy and automatically go to ebay and amazon as the first thing.
Sammich Yeh that the annoying part of any figure, “the relative you don’t really wanna see” ie bootleg no one wants that.
same. just bought like 5, actually. im so broke that was like $300
@@UrSammich while that is true, I guess over time, the people buying the fakes will begin to realize that the money they spent on bootlegs is not worth it at all albeit the very cheap price. I bought bootleg gunplas, nendos, and figmas before, thinking that if there is a cheaper and similar one, why would I burn my money for the expensive ones? But after handling and playing with them for a several time, it frustrates me more than it made me happy, so I try to buy the real one to compare and that was the moment of enlightenment for me. The real ones, eventhough it cost you a lot of money, will never betray your expectation. Adding that we know we have watched this clip, we should appreciate the creator more by buying the legit ones. Because I do really know how it feels if your work is not appreciated by others
I once had a minor problem with a Nendoroid, Jotaro Kujo’s one (there was a stain on the bust) I wrote the company about the issue and they sent me a replacement of the bust. They were so kind too in the answer they attached. I love Nendoroids so much, such wonderful people too.
Lucky- I want him but he is 200$ =_= I can’t get my own son (jotaro and narancia are my children)
@@Cherrypoptarts Jotaro might be rereleased somewhere in 2021. I read it from some website so lets hope it true
I really want a jotaro nendoroid but its $230 smh to expensive
@@Cherrypoptarts I missed preorders from GSC website or others sellers so I ordered mine on Amazon that time. It was 60 bucks (that is basically the price of the Nendo + the shippings). I believe one day they will re-release him, maybe once Stone Ocean is out.
@@dadaa133 I can feel you 'cause I wanted Risotto but didn't have enough money after buying Giorno and Bucciarati, so I missed preorders and now the chance to find him
for an affordable price are 0. ;; Maybe they'll re-release Jotaro with Stone Ocean's anime, ofc there will be Part 6 Jotaro too at that point.
I think my favorite thing about Nendoroid design is how they reconcile all these different art styles from different mangaka and unify them into a single “Nendoroid face/body” while still making sure the character is very recognizable.
This is why you support Good Smile Company and don't buy bootleg.
My sister has two bootlegs and i feel bad for her because i only have one but it's official-
@@the_pinkie_pie Better tell her that she can actually buy original Nendoroids (priced almost as the same as buying bootlegs on retails) from Mandarake or any of the online hobby shops like Hobbysearch & Amiami during Sale season.
@@GlassesnMouthplates there's a sale season for Figma also?
Glasses&Mouthplates Is Mandarake safe? I searched it up and yes it’s very cheap, but I’m not sure if I should buy some figures there 🤔
Edit: Wtf the the shipping was 5 times the amount of my order
Allen Ferguson i accidentally bought a bootleg link one 😭 lol
The Chad Nendoroid vs. The Virgin Funko Pop.
They're all turbovirgins
Funkos are so trash and ugly.
@@brenlouissurio2404 Ouch
@Bren Louis Surio some people can’t afford nendoroids
Chaos. I can't afford to go to a Michelin star restaurant, but I won't dive into their dumpster.
Reasons why I respect Nendroids more than Funko Pops.
Who genuinely likes funko pops?
@@jabxx3473 I like both! They’re really cute
The only appeal of funko pops was that they were cheap. But now I don't see any.
@i, natalie Maybe in US, but where I live, they're severely overpriced for what you get
Legit got my first Nendoroid today and it’s so much better than Funko lmao
For Non-Japanese People: I don't know if you realize how important it is that they have women in management or visible on the workforce. It's very hard in Japan for women to exceed in positions of power in the workplace. There are often no women in any positions of power due to sexism and thinking "oh they will quit when they get married" even if this is not true. So even seeing one in a documentary is amazing. There are a lot of movements right now on the front of Japanese women's equality in the workplace. They call it "the bamboo ceiling" for a reason! So supporting companies that support women in the workplace such as Kyoani (which is mostly women), and Good Smile Company is very important for gender equality in Japan.
Satou Kazuma approved
Fun Fact: There is also a lot of female mangaka/assistants!
@@XiGlove gender equality on point!!😄
Ok
I dont get the point of a movement, you fix this problem by making women enroll more
once you start collecting these babies, you cant stop. i remember seeing their price for the first time and thought "woahhh that's too expensive for a small action figure" but then they released my favorite anime character lol. The first time I got one I was amazed by the quality, small details and how cute the nendoroid was. Seeing my fav character come into life(solid form) made me supper happy. just think, your money was not gone, you just exchanged it to something you love
Figures are expensive *_because_* they're small, not in-spite of.
The Little Armory series, either Figma or Nendoroid, is a black hole of my wallet :-(
iiloveuii GIVE ME 😭😭😭😭😭
Lol u said ounce you start collecting these babies
I just ordered my first one and I can definitely see myself wanting to collect more lol
That face painting process is so crazy! The amount of work that goes into these adorable figures is amazing. Thanks everyone at Good Smile for bringing our favorite characters to life.
Next up on your channel will be "My trip to the nendoroid factory!" And I for one would love watch it 😂
I agree with you Dave
Nendo Now I know right
aa i didnt expect you to be here
Sometimes I have that face */*//$)3(7## :0
5:01 "Hello, you've found me. I'm the white haired camera guy probably unaware there was a mirror in this shot!"
That's not his hair...
That was a haircap
Interesting
I was always pretty impatient with figures coming out a year and a half from the original air date, so like for example made in abyss, the promised neverland etc. Now I understand the process and am willing to wait. Thank you!
I love nanachi 💜
imagine making a whole army of your waifus with nendoroids..
Imagine... *THE POWER....*
That'll be a neckbeard reddit story gold
There would be only one. Kurisu.
Orange Rouge exists for Husbado Nendoroids.
>waifus
>s
No! You only have ONE!
I knew Nendoroids were expensive due to their high quality, but I didn't know it took this much work! I'll never complain about the price again.
Also prices might skyrocket due to import fees and currency change, depending on where you live. I was put off by the UK prices, but turns out if you know someone who travels often to Japan/US who doesnt mind buying one or two on your behalf every now and then, the price if halved without any loss to the producers
Seeing their employees make nendoroids, i thought it was just factory/machine made and made me hesitate to buy but their efforts on making a high quality item makes me wanna support their business more
I hope when i have more money to collect items ill be able to get one and support them
I have three Nendroids at the moment, all the doll versions planning on getting the normal ones sometime, and let me tell you you’re getting quality with these figures. The details they put in is unreal, even the smallest of character design you don’t think they put in the do. Well done to all the lovely people who work at Good Smile Company, your success is well deserved.
Nendoroid is a better quality Funko POP, honestly.
Its like 3x the price thats why
Or rather funko pop is a cheap knock off of nendoroids XD
If you suck all of the charm and craftsmanship out of a Nendroid, you are left with a Funko Pop.
funko pop are GARBAGE, they are the ugly vinil dolls my grandmother had, with worse design
That's because Japan actually cares about craftsmanship I do have a pop of yusuke urameshi but that's because he's super expense
4:58 THEY have stretching sessions ?! That’s really nice
A lot of Japanese companies do this at the beginning of the work day. I hope they do it during the day, too. I'm sure making Nendoroids is a tough job.
I wish China and the US learned from them
4:44 , 25:02 I see all those haikyuu nends you got there sir :0
Most businesses in Japan do, typically some require their team members to be there, because it counts as team building. They all stretch in the morning and start off with good vibes, it’s a good way to be able to make sure everyone’s there and ready for the day.
Yeah like that's amazing!!!
I got teary eyed at the end. What a wholesome, genuine company. Good Smile Company, THANK YOU! Now take my money.
This was an awesome documentary!
As someone who has quite a few of these Nendoroids (and anime figures in general), it's great to see how much hard-work, dedication and passion goes into making them.
It was especially endearing to see how the people in the documentary feel about Nendoroids, where even the CEO is super geeky about them and even considers them comrades.
No wonder Good Smile Company is so succesful, when both the employees and CEO are passionate about their craft and treat it with respect.
as a nendo collector, i agree with the girl saying that they are things that make people feel happy and brighten up their days.. A looked at my small nendo avengers collection as I watched this video...
I remember seeing kids that were so happy when they entered the store looking at stacks and displays of nendoroid, purely just happy to be there.
It really brightens your day up(灬º‿º灬)
I turned and smiled to Professor Layton, Nano Shinonome and Kasane Teto hahaha. Hoping to collect an army of adorable nendos :3
do people really think these are not worth the price that they are? even without this video I feel like it’s obvious to tell that they’re quality products lol
Because they don't care how these amazing people work so hard for us . I've even seen people ask for free art I mean who does that ??!
lontrucker44 the entitlement people believe they have is so surreal to me lol
@@daidus_otltwitchhighlights I feel the same way , makes me shake my head lol . Those wonderful people make us happy with our figurines
it's mostly a matter of perspective. In the states we're used to cheaply manufactured figurines that are almost entirely all "children's toys". Figures that aren't like that tend to be fully rendered and highly detailed statuettes. So when we see a chibi figure, we tend to unconsciously categorize it as a cheap child's toy. Obviously these are easily on par with full scale figures, but it's easy to not be aware of that if your experience is only with the extreme ends of the spectrum
Romantic Outlaw couldn’t agree more
This documentary is more useful than all of the ones I've seen in history class.
I've got a small Nendoroid collection of my own and this documentary has made me feel peacefully happy, I can't explain why. I just love Nendoroids, I guess
I have only four nendoroids, and the story behind them is kind of interesting.
About six or so years back, I purchased the Black Rock Shooter OVA from Amazon, and it came with two nendoroids, one of Black Rock Shooter, and one of Dead Master. Cut to about six months before today, and I was visiting my local comic book store, looking around, when I spotted something up on the highest shelf of the Used section, squished tightly between two larger boxes.
The box was turned on its side, but it had a single picture of a nendoroid of Mato, Black Rock Shooter's human form. It was only twenty dollars, so I asked the worker to get it down for me so that I could buy it, because I love the Black Rock Shooter series.
Imagine my surprise when it turned out that not only did the box contain two nendoroids, one for Mato and the one for Yomi, Dead Master's human form, but they were the designed the exact same way as the nendoroids I already owned, two sides of the same coin.
Needless to say, I was ecstatic. To think that I would come across the other half of my nendoroids, years later.
All four now sit proudly at the top of my bookshelf, Mato and Yomi taking up the center, with Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master beside them.
Cool story, thanks for sharing
What a lovely story!
You must be the happiest person on Earth at that moment.
@@josephskiles i have 4. I got Jotaro, Dio, Giorno and Bruno
Damn I wish I could have your luck
It's always interesting to see behind the scenes documentaries about the things we all love. Can you guys do one for things like SH Figurarts, GunPla, Figure-Rise Standard, etc as well? Maybe some stuff for Kotobukiya?
They did gunpla
@@fishyboopkins7300 Did they do a behind the scenes with GunPla? If I they did, I'm pretty sure I saw it. Maybe I forgot? LOL I mean I do watch a lot of YT videos. 🤣
They did partly but mostly just shown off model kits
Kotobukiya still had a long way to go, i do love buy their product mainly Frame Arms Girl series but also hate it to add extra coloring on it, called me lazy.
Do Phat! They’re so expensive but the quality is so pretty 🥺✌️
i'm getting my first nendoroid(s) this year!
probably in like a month or two
(they are my hero academia nendos if you were wondering)
i'm very excited!
32:13 aged like milk 😭
oop-
Oh sh-
Big OOF
Late to the game, but I was wondering if anyone caught that too! Lmao.
Why?
Buying one now feels so rewarding. Buying one means appreciating their hard work. So thanks and more nendoroids to come!!
Is this a jojos
I was just making that question in my head before this video. How curious.
TH-cam's algorithm is that good!
@@CrunchyrollInsideAnime It's evolving to the next level alright xD
"I think they're things that make people feel happy, that brighten their days". I felt that
Good Smile Company is honestly the best. The amount of work and effort it takes to make one Nendoroid is just amazing. I love Nendoroids so much. 🧡💚
Well, now I finally understand why they're called Good Smile Company.
I have watched some anime cuz I thought the nendoroid was cute. So, he is correct on that front. I have been collecting nendoroids for years, so it was cool to see the process behind making them. Good Smile seems like an awesome company, so I hope they continue to do well!
Nice
8:50 its amaazing how smooth they get the 3D printer versions to look. with being prototypes, these will be highly collectable.
3:34 *tiny levi with a hat is something i didn’t know i needed until now.*
I hadnt realized they had Levi in the background, I can agree with you
this is a half hour documentary of how they make nendoroids
not complaining
@Wisteriaa hmm totally didn't notice lmao it's not like i can see
ok but seriously though
😿🤜🏼😾🤜🏼😻🤜🏼🙀🤜🏼😸🤜🏼😽🤜🏼😺🤜🏼😼🤜🏼💀
what
As someone who doesn't really consume prepainted figures but opt to paint them myself, I can truly understand and highly appreciate all the hard work that the artist pour into each figure, I share in their feelings of having these little plastic figures being a part of themselves, my work in garage kits also defines many times who I am now, even though these figures end up being massed produced, the hands that made them (at least those that are made by hand still), have that human touch that brings art to life in a way. I understand that to be able to make a profit out of this industry, things have to be massed produced, I always though that the human heart would not be in those finished boxes ready to be shipped, but after seeing these sculptors and artist, I've changed my mind.
I only own 1 nendo, and even with it's imperfections from mass production, I can appreciate those behind the scenes that made them.
Ah! I watch your channel, so I was very surprised to see this comment. ☺️ It was a welcome surprise.
I think the work of mass production definitely leaves room for individual artists like yourself to take the work in a different direction and to set a different standard. For example, I can’t see a mass producer trying to figure out a feasible way to tape off individual rose petals to be painted against a white dress... they’d probably give up or change the design. Your specific set of resources (time being a large one) means you can invest more into the singular item.
And your works are absolutely OOAK, giving it its own value. While it’s certainly special, you would not even be physically capable of reproducing it on a large scale. That’s where companies like Good Smile come in.
AAAH I also love your work!
This makes me love the company even more. Their customer service is great too!! AH JEEZ I LOVE THEIR WORK 🥰🥰😭😭!! AND I LOVE MY NENDOS AND FIGMA AFSKDHAJDHA 💕💕❤❤ THANK YOU FOR EXISTING GOOD SMILE!!
Nendoroids are my favorite figures ever. I love how they have different face plates and props right out of the shows and movies :)
Oh my god, I've always wanted a full documentary of nendoroids! I'm a big fan with almost 20 of these little figures. (Including co-de & nendoroid-dolls) And I just really love seeing how products are made.
I've even tried sculpting with epoxy resin in the past and its given me a deeper appreciation to what Good Smile Company does. Being able to make everyone's favorite characters is an amazing feat in this industry!
Happy to fulfill that wish!
It's fun to have these around my desk. Sometimes I even bring it to work or bring it out and do some photography!
I just bought one way back around 2015, now I have nine and still want more!
I am lacking 2 more from the Nisekoi series!
There is something really charming about having one (or more) on your desk. Like a little assistant!
Thus why aside from Nendoroid, I'm loving a little series called "Desktop Army" from Kotobukiya. Try to check some out sometimes
I own None of these but still admire them. I can appreciate the difficulty in their work from a physical standpoint.
i've worked in the CNC mold tooling business and now plastic manufacturing. i may be the only one in the factory i work in who's done both.
its pretty cool learning the mold making process then seeing them being used. lots of issues can happen on both ends at any time.
I could write a book on the issues that can pop up alone.
They're so passionate about their figures. It really makes me appreciate my nendoriods a bit extra, knowing now all the attention to detail and work that was put into making them.
now i know why they cost 60$ a pop lol
@WeeItsNookies Most aren't quite $60 Usually 30-40 range if you know how to bargain shop (amiami is by far the cheapest website even after shipping in my 10 yrs collecting). Plus I don't know how many second hand deals I've gotten anywhere $15-25 per. But compared to a lot of other hobby things like say Funko Pops the quality is by far superior along with the paint jobs so I am willing to pay (figmas tho they have gotten crazy expensive over the years). Also if there is a defect in a new product good smile will replace the part for free! I've had them do that for both figmas and nendoroids in the past.
@WeeItsNookies I rarely buy direct from GSC unless they are at a con or it's an exclusive to their site. Sometimes that's the only way for a few. Like Snow Miku anything.
@WeeItsNookies Again, like in the fast food industry :) we're paying for the work put into the creation of the supply, not the products that make it (look at soda as an example though an inflated industry)
WeeItsNookies not really. if we’re considering the amount of work and consideration being put into the figures, along with the quality it’s reasonable at $60
*ITS A 4 INCH TALL FIGURE*
I always loved the design of Nendoroids and now I've gained a much bigger appreciation of the works from Good Smile Company! The staff are all focused into each Nendoroid's craftsmanship and even the CEO himself is also part of the crafting process. These people do good work and the price is honestly worth saving up for.
I appreciate all these workers so much
I will forever love this company. Your Nendoroids truly made me 'smile' and they helped me through my lows during my teenage years. Truly a genius figurine for collecting. I had 11 of them but had to sell two because of money issues. I think it's amazing to have such high quality collector's items for an affordable price. I still check your website and all the new characters. Can't wait to buy more soon!
I love my waifus in nendoroid form. The figures are great but once they go out of stock the popular one rack up in prices. I just wished they would have some sort of voting system to pick the most popular ones for re-release.
And even when you want to pay the high prices its sometimes hard to tell if you will get a bootleg or not
@@LeeroyJenk Myfigurecollection is a great database to check up on for second-hand figs and if there are any known bootlegs of ANY figure. I use it before buying from sketchy places like cons (without an official vendor) or places like ebay.

Thanks for pinpointing this (灬º‿º灬)♡
Good Smile honestly makes some of the best figures.
For
4:05 !! I spotttt hinata kageyama and tsukkishima in the corner shelfffffffff
WOAHHHH I was looking though out the video to see if I could find them, I wasn’t able to on my own but your comment saved me thank you 😭❤️
I didn’t even noticeeee
Nendoroids are one of my most favorite kind of figures to buy, they are so adorable!
It's kinda one of my least favourite cause there are way too many parts for it. I have to constantly change the nendoroid plates cause I'm not satisfied with it. Kinda annoys me so scale figure is best for me
true the pieces are tiny, but for me it's nice to have the option to change them if you want. i like scales as well the DETAILS on those figures are pretty spicy.
@@flmdsfr9395 then don’t buy it? If your upset with how small a figure is, even after a website tell you then it’s your fauly
@@flmdsfr9395 u probably just sucks on keeping the extra parts
I love good smile company.
I already loved Nendoroids when I first saw them being some of my favourite characters but now that I know the work put into making these little guys I think I’m gonna buy all of the nendoroids they have
Even though the figures are mass produced, there's still infinite amounts of love put into every single one of them..! thank you good smile!
I never wondering before the making process of those cuties I love so much, thank you Crunchyroll!
oh wow this was so cozy to watch! i remember when i first saw nendoroids in an actual store (i live in alabama) and i was so stoked- it's only gotten more prominent! i hope everyone who works on them knows how appreciated they and their products are :)
I have only 1 nendroid but I have many scale of Good Smile Company and all I can say is that the nailed the name of their company! nothing feel like watching your figure and smile at them...a feeling that only collector can understand! The quality of they're scale is on point! So much respect for them
As a collector of 30+ Good Smile figures, I appreciate all the effort that they put into these little works of art. They're wonderful and brighten up my day when I see them after a long day at work.
This made me proud to be a collector. Thank you GSC for all your love and hard work!
I've been collecting nendos for about two years now. I think they're worth every penny. Just pre-ordered Froppy and Josuke. Got Bruno in the mail on Monday. Lol
YESSSSSSSSSSS YOU’RE SO LUCKY DUDEEEE
Bro, where do you order
FROPPY NENDOROID?!??!!!!!
I ordered my first Nendo a few days ago. Thank you for this awesome documentary on how they’re made 🥰
Finally We have A Documentary about making Nendoroid
I have waited so long for this
Thank you Good Smile for everything you do. Your hard work and dedication will never be in vain for the amount of happiness and satisfaction you give your customers. Every product you produce is as valuable as gold to your many fans including myself.
I love Nendoroids! They craftsmanship inspire me to get into 3d sculpting. I bought my first one in October of last year and now I have a growing collection. I hope to see more of my favorite characters become Nendoroid!
13:23 パッド印刷大好き
ぷにっと押し付けてるのがたまらん
So much respect for GoodSmile! i love my nendoroids they're worth every dollar!
I found this video very interesting! I have only one nendoroid but I always find them SO fascinating! They are so detailed and designed perfectly!!!! I’m planning on buying more
I spot Chuuya
lowkey expecting to see the actual assembly process from plastic pieces to boxed figure
Ever since I held my first Nendo in my hand (their head fits your palm perfectly!), I cannot stop buying them... I have 48 atm, preordered a few more and I just saw the announcements at Winter Wonder Festival 2020 - they still will be a deadly threat to my wallet. XD But yes, they are cute, high quality and make me smile - great recipe to turn me into a fan of these figurines. I especially love that they are bringing back older animes like Yu Yu Hakusho or Bleach or InuYasha, not just the latest ones.
Thanks CR for the great report!
48? Dang. I only have 16. XD
I find it funny how older Figma with morr accesories are cheaper compared to the newer with lesser. I understand why, but sometimes Im pretty dissapointed spending above $100 just for the figure with few hands and a faceplate. Nendos seem reasonable because I ussually see them around $50 and they come with a good amount of things. Either way still gonna buy Figma
Thank you everyone at Good Smile Company for all your hard work!
I love how we can see they passion, it's really beautifull to see that. Thank you for them to create these little cute figure, mine gonna stay on my desk and my own collection will continue to expand with raphtalia and she's lovely shield hero too :).
Such an amazing mini documentary!!! I love seeing the behind the scenes of products I love. It's crazy just how much work and effort goes into making something as small as a Nendoroid. Seeing the people behind the product like this really lets you feel the soul behind the figures :)
I have owned only three nendoroids so far but I love them very much. They're cute and bring smile to my face every time. Watching this video makes me love and appreciate them more.
This whole video felt like a love letter to figures.
Thank you for showing this! It’s important for us to know the hard work behind such incredible art so we appreciate them even more!
*needs Nendoroid*
*sees price*
understandable, have a nice day
*buys*
What an awesome documentary ! I LOVE nendoroid, the first time
I saw one was at a convention here in Germany in 2009.
I didn't know what a nendoroid was at the time but I fell instantly in love.
Right know I own 141 Different Nendoroid
since you had that many, how long does it takes for those nendoroid to become sticky?
A few days ago, my friend and I were actually wondering how GSC made these nendoroids, and how hard it must be for the sculptor.
Now this pops up, and I'm so glad to have seen it and feel glad to be supporting such a lovely and dedicated company!
I have 3 nendoroids on pre-order right now and I can't wait to receive them! ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧
Truly amazing and talented people. Thank you for making cute version for our favourite characters!
There’s no stopping in collecting these nendos. I remember controlling myself not to buy one but then they re-release an Oikawa Nendo and let’s say I ate my words. Then they released Jujutsu Kaisen nendos and I said bye to a huge chunk of my savings. I love it and I’m excited to get my hands on it. 💕
This was so interesting! I've always wanted to see how figures were made, so I got super excited when this video popped up in my recommended! :D Shoutout to Goodsmile for making such awesome and adorable figures! May my collection continue to grow~
24:44 Why are they using Snow Miku and Mikudayo as a comparison for how their product has improved? Mikudayo is supposed to look disproportionate bc she’s a person in a costume 😂
They should have used the death note Misa imo - it is in dire need of a redo
Smallgremlin Gremlin All of the old death note nendoroids looked like hot garbage. I also don’t think characters that are especially not cute like the Hulk or Joker should be made into nendoroids
omg snow mikudayo
Thank you for this documentary! Also thank you to Good Smile Company for your hard work and making every Nendoroid to perfection! 😁
Wow this video is just brilliant! So interesting to see the process of designing and crafting the Nendoroids in detail.
This really wants me want to be in the production of Nendoroids. It seems interesting and creating something is a thing I always look forward to do if it's sculpture or writing
this was a really sweet video. i loved how much love and effort they put into their products its really nice to know they care so much about the product, employees, and fans. and that last sentence from the president at the end made me smile. what a wholesome vid. also detective conan was in the vid alot yay!! conan is my favorite nendoroid ❤️
This is adorable to see the very lengthy process of making these it’s truly a form of art and I don’t regret buying a nendoriod today I’m so excited for mine to come Tysm good smile company
They are such the cutest team of creators. It warms my heart knowing these figures that mean so much to me are made with such love and care
For $60, I was super nervous ordering my first Nendoroid. I’ve never exactly been wealthy, so $60 was no small price tag. However, once I got my little man in the mail, took him out of his box, looked at him for the first time...it’s 100% worth every single penny I spent. Such a beautiful, high quality figure. They really do put so much care into the faces, especially. The Nendoroid I ordered was Dante from Devil May Cry 5, he comes with a lot of small attachments (two handguns, a sword, and a motorcycle, all INCREDIBLY detailed). I was honestly so blown away with how perfectly they replicated his weaponry directly from the game; I was even more excited when I took the motorcycle out and saw it had wheels that actually rotate! Ugh I just love my Nendoroids so so much, if you’re considering buying one, do it! They’re so lovely.
I have MANY Nendoroids and it was interesting to see how they were made. I'm glad that they put so much love and effort into their products to ensure that they're high-quality. I like checking the website everyday to see the new Nendoroids when they come out, even if I don't know who the character is or don't plan on buying them. I do hope that someday the Danganronpa Nendoroid series will continue since I recently got into the game series (and by recently I mean it took me 2 years to finish the main 3). I look forward to seeing what new figures they make in the future. :D
Nendoroids are the only figures I collect and each one is precious.
i will forever love nendroids, i will wait patiently for these because i appreciate y’all
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A VIDEO ON THIS FOR YEARS IM CRYING
Right after this vid came out I was notified by my friend that a JOSKUE nindroid will be coming out so excited!
Considering the amount of people that work so passionately to make these figures, I will no longer complain about the price. They are worth the amount of work put in and the quality is always beautiful
I already knew most of the process of making these but I think this is the first time I see the people behind it. The final part makes me happy, they are indeed a part of you, or rather an extension, they become little trophies and make you remember the friends and experiences the series brought to you culminating into a cute figure.
I love taking pictures of them, I got into photography because of them. I dunno, they mean a lot for me.
