Awesome review. Prinz Eugen looks absolutely stunning. I expected nothing less from Alter with their quality. A little history lesson about Prinz Eugen. She was the escort ship of the famous German battleship Bismarck on her maiden voyage in Operation Rheinübung. She fought with Bismarck against the British battleships Prince of Wales and Hood which the latter was sunk. Prinz Eugen survived WW2 and was given to the US as a war trophy after Germany surrendered. Sadly she was used as fodder for nuclear bomb tests at Bikini Atoll in Operation Crossroads in 1946. She survived the blasts and was towed to Kwajalein Atoll where she capsized and sunk. Part of her wreckage can still be seen to this day.
Been waiting for a review in this figure on TH-cam and this one is fantastic! Still waiting for mine to arrive and this gave me a really good idea as to what to expect. Great vid!
Yes! Thank you for the thoughtful comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm glad you've got one coming your way! When you get it, I'd love to know if your hair has any debris in it!
@@KohaisCollection so I just got mine in and while I couldn't really set her up because I have no room I did inspect the hair and head sculpt and from what I see there was no debris but there were two longer hair strands that had very slight scuff on them. It's on the back so it wouldn't be visible while displayed but this figure is overall just incredible and so highly detailed so I can't really say it bothers me. I have plenty more azur lane stuff preordered so I'm excited to see how they turn out. I honestly don't even play the mobile game, lol.
@@NARUTOnemesis Awesome! Thank you for getting back to me! I'm glad the scuffs will be hidden at least. And yes! I haven't seen the anime, but I do casually play. I have so many Azur Lane figures I am looking forward to reviewing!
Great Review! I just received this figure. Alter quality barely any paint defects compared to some of my notable estream figures. Definitely my most detailed figure in my collection.
Omg I'm so jealous of you XD I hestitated to preorder her but now I regret cause she is litearaly my number 1 waifu. But I will definatly not miss out on her 1/4 racing figure. Also very good viedo with high quality. I'll take a look at your other videos as well :)
Oh no! We got really lucky. I did not expect these to sell out so quickly. ESPECIALLY given the price point. I hope the market stabilizes and you can find one for a good price one day! Unfortunately, Alter doesn't have a big history of re-releasing figures :( Thank you so much for commenting and for your support! We can't wait to bring you more!
I came across your channel by accident and honestly I believe I stumbled across a hidden gem; I mean not just the presentation but your film quality is top notch. You seem to be a VERY SERIOUS collector based on your many older scale figures on the background. I wish you the best on your channel and it’s a pleasure to be one of your early subscribers. Looking up to your next film!
Vandebirt, if you can respond in time (within the next 6 hours or so before we film - though you may have 24 hours if we film the review tomorrow) I'd like to offer you a chance to decide which review we do next (and don't worry, we'll be reviewing both, so it's not one or the other!) Which would you like to see next? -Azur Lane - Laffey - 1/7 - Haru Machi Usagi ver. (B'full) Or -Jujutsu Kaisen - Gojou Satoru - Shibuya Scramble Figure - 1/7
@@KohaisCollection First of all Thank You for your kind words, it really means a lot. Now I personally would film Laffey because I believe B'full (Fots/Insight) it's a manufacturer that everyone seems to hate but they just never gave it a chance. As an Azur Lane fan I'll love to see how they did specially with such an ambitious design. Being said that, I believe you'll get more views if you post the Gojou film first since that's a very popular figure these days, even though there are many others reviews already and views are essential specially for a starting channel. Either way I know you guys are gonna deliver quality content and I'll be looking forward for both films :)
@@Vandebirt Laffey it is! The design is SUPER cute, but I definitely worry about the overall paint and modeling quality. I'm excited to find out and give B'full a chance! (plus, the Azur Lane community has been very receiving of us
Hello, first up great review, I can see you had this thing planned for success from the beginning (that being said, you did improve a lot), what do you think of the Prinz Eugen 1/8 swimsuit figure? I saw it in your collection and I am currently choosing between that one and this Alter one. I definitely prefer the default outfit on the Alter but I think I'd have to work in the uranium mines for a couple more weeks to afford it so I've been thinking about getting the cheaper one :}
Thank you for the kind words! It's definitely harder to watch these older videos, but we take that as a good thing 😂 The Prinz Eugen swimsuit by WAVE is solid overall. She doesn't have any shading and her skin tone is on the paler side vs Alter's more peach skin tone. The details on the rigging looks good and it's neat that the metal support polls are in a ball joint so you can move and angle them. The only real thing I dislike about the figure is the support for her hair. It feels unnecessary since she seems to balance well enough, but she can slide down. I just know they could have made the float more supportive (think Aqua Float series). Her swimsuit is quite sexy though but unfortunately the best part (her ass) is hidden. The swimsuit reveals a lot of cheek actually 😍. All that to be said, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it. I think it only looks "weak" when it's sitting next to the Alter one. The Alter is still my favorite by far, but I know you'll be happy with the WAVE one, particularly if you like bikini figures.
As of January 22nd, 2023, two total adjustments have been made to the ratings of this figure. We adjusted our Review Template as a whole, and made an adjustment to the rating of her pose. Prinz Eugen's current, adjusted score is an 81/100 You can find our video explaining the revision here: th-cam.com/video/2vMjQ7wQlSk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/P0Zl3d5IVWY/w-d-xo.html Here is our Figure Ratings & Leaderboard docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18vwpGvG4fqtyCqsKum6oK2rkbTTsCd4Qox1UoBg5zdw/edit?usp=sharing
Great and constructive review! Before I watched your video I was wondering and wanting to purchase one of them on the eBay, but I was really concerned about the price ($800), but after your video I realized that I'd better wait until Alter resales it or releases another version with "light armor", so I won't bother myself thinking of spending $1k (with shipping) for her (although I reeeally want her that bad). Anyway, thank you for helping me with clarifying what to do. Definitely subbed and liked, looking forward for the upcoming reviews!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! I'm glad the video was useful to you. I would agree she isn't worth the aftermarket price at all. We are proud to have you and can't wait to share more!
I almost gave you a dislike for your pronunciation of Eugen :P But the rest of the video was excellent and detailled so you are forgiven. I ordered the rerelease of this figure a few months ago and I'm waiting for her to ship in. As for my favourite shipwaifu, that would defenitely be Unicorn. But I would love to see an HMS Monarch figure or Queen Elisabeth figure at some point, especialy with the rigging.
Lmfao 😂 you should. I hate it. These early videos are now so cringe to us. Thankfully we were corrected, watched the animated series, and have fixed the pronunciation in later videos 😁 Ooh awesome! Congrats! I'm excited for you. Still one of our favorites. Unicorn is so damn cute! She's my favorite too! I really wish there were good figures of her 😭 I slept on the Wanderer 1/7th though. Came out much cuter than anticipated.
I have both her plum and hobbymax figures. The plum figures look excellent when you display her with other plum figures (I have I-19 and Yamashiro) But I do wonder what a company like alter could have made, as there is certainly a difference in quality. Perhaps they can do her retrofit? I can only dream... Wanderer is looking very promising from the prototype! Although she has been delayed twice 🙃 @@KohaisCollection
"Oy-gehn" is the best pronunciation I've learned from native German speakers. Anyways, just got news of a re-release, and was checking her out, and your video popped up on my feed. Cheers!
@@KohaisCollection Of course, no prob! Looking forward to more of your reviews, they're probably the most entertaining and in-depth ones I've seen so far!
@@modus3683 Thank you! We're excited to you have! Our collection video is next! Should be dropping it later this month! We're going for in-depth for sure. We want to feel that niche we don't feel is there at the moment, so your commentary means a lot! Thank you~
I am just curious, what camera did you use for the figure close ups? BTW really love your content, this is the first one I ever seen on your contents. I will browse your channel when I have free time.
Thank you so much for commenting! We're proud to have you~ We use a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K with an 18-35mm Sigma DC Art lens. For the next Senpai's Showroom video featuring B'full's Laffey, I used a 24-70mm Sigma DG Art lens that features optical stabilization to hopefully make all the slider shots more smooth. For any of our photographs, we use a Canon EOS R.
I love her but there’s no way I’m paying that price. Alter is really expensive but their quality is great on the paint. I’m thinking about po one of their other ship girls
Most of ours are pre-ordered from AmiAmi, or direct from the manufacturer such as Native, GoodSmile, and even Shibuya Scramble. We've also successfully used Nin-Nin-Games, Solaris, and proxy services like Neokyo
the one thing or issue thats why i didnt order this it is because of those rods, not really good for long term display (in my experience) so il juz wait the 1/4 racin from mimeyoi
It will be interesting to see, but I doubt it will be an issue other than aesthetics. We have many figures with plastic rods that haven't sagged or anything over the years. These are metal, so they should hold up just fine.
@@KohaisCollection To me it sounds like "Oi-gain," here are examples: th-cam.com/video/X-zjs9CuXLI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/C72OJkA_0ME/w-d-xo.html It's extra confusing because it's not the standard German pronunciation, and even some native Germans don't realize this.

The "Azure Lane" series is synonymous with quality and beauty. This is no exception, let's say it is simply for display, look but don't touch!😂
Haha 😂 yet the whole brand is funded by people that want to touch 😭💀
Prinz Eugen is one of my favorite ships within the iron blood but top spot has to go to Amagi but liked the review of the figure keep it up :)
