Yeah! Her character design is phenomenal. And I really think they spent a lot of time making her pose the best it could possibly be, since I don't think her next figure is going to compare. I can't envision a better looking figure of her.
Great video and waifu figures! Especially love how you try to inject drama and humour into the editing before each, great work! I am still waiting on my Hokusai to come home and I believe you have just sold me on the Okita - the shipping will be painful :S
It's awesome that you got your hands on Hokusai, it seems like there will be a very limited supply of her on the market. As for Okita, shipping is pretty insane. I remember seeing some folks in Canada say the shipping cost more than the figure. Insane. But, she is well worth it, haha. Definitely one of the best Fate figures out there.
Just found this video lol I got all 3 of them too! My favorite was Hokusai then Okita Alter and lastly my beloved ereshkigal ❤️ all of them pretty good!
So, I've been through you entire channel now and I really enjoy your videos. They're really fun to watch and making we want to throw more money out the window to extend my collection aswell. Also, it's almost frightening, how similar our taste in Anime/Manga and figures about them is xD Count my in for your future uploads.
Figure collecting is definitely an interesting rabbit hole that keeps finding new ways to take my money. Every time I tell myself I'm going to slow down, a new figure comes out that I can't say no to. Glad you are enjoying the videos! I just finished uploading a new video where a lot of the figures can still be picked up on AmiAmi... so it might be best to hide your wallet.
@@Battletide. I probably should do that. Even if I got a decent amount of self control, the number of figures, that I'm tracking, has massively increased recently. Maybe I get to visit Japan again next year, cause buying at stores is far more fun to me, than waiting for packages and the pricing is unbeaten.
This is the first video of yours I have seen and thought the baby shipping comment was hilarious. I own both Phat and Good Smile Fate figures you reviewed as well and totally agree with you, they are great. I am not even a fan of the Fate series or games but the figures are so incredible I have to get them.
I agree... I didn't really get into Fate GO... but the figures are soooo good, I can't stop buying them. They tend to have some of the best designed characters and great detailed figures. Looking forward to getting Mash next month, and Semiramis and the other Hokusai figure in January. Do you have any other Fate figures coming your way?
Funny enough I actually got on your channel yesterday and asked myself when you will be uploding again and here we are XD Hokusai and Okitan are perfekt for the exeption of the support rods. Espacially Hokusais, but atleast you can choose to not use it. Eresh on the other Hand I find nothing negative and since I use her a lot ingame, maybe I should get her a figure :)
Haha, yeah, it's been a little while. August I went on vacation, and all my pre-orders were getting delayed. Then in September, boxes started showing up, and work decided to chain me to my desk. Fun times. Glad you liked Ereshkigal, she is a really nice figure; I know I'm definitely going to appreciate her more the longer I have her. I definitely was on the hype train of Hokusai and Okita, that when Ereshkigal came in, I may have felt underwhelm when I saw the hair color since it didn't match my expectations. But now, going back and seeing the anime, the hair color does match her hair color when there is low light in the underworld; I guess I didn't make that connection until now, haha.
I feel you bro. When My brother visited me he was looking at me weird cause my nightlamp adjacent to my bed is an IKEA Detolf with warm light led strips. Lighting up my whole room plus the figures inside. I guess cause he expected more of a gundam collection. But man it's all about the waifu's!. So far I have Jalter (by Alter re issue), Okita Alter, Scathach, Ereshkigal and Berserker Musashi. And 4 Azurlane waifu's.
I used my display cases as lighting as well, they look much better than a dingy lamp, haha. Nice collection! Azur Lane makes great figures, wish I had more. I'm still waiting for my Ayanami one to come out.
@@Battletide. yep! Had a roll of rgb led strip light on mine. To swap from a cool white or a warmer tungsten like lighting. As its a full glass cabinet, it is like a hugeee lamp replacement with waifu's to enjoy watching on the inside haha I might try make a video but just have no time for now. And yes, I have an Ayanami too although it's the older one made by Pulchra. Then there's Jean bart, illustrious, Belfast, St. Louis and Yamashiro. Even though I have not played azur lane at all(only the azur lane collab in world of warships). As I enjoy FGO gameplay and lore more.
Thanks! Though it's more of a pseudo face reveal, since a lot of it was still hidden. It made the skit more fun to involve myself in it, haha. Maybe one of these days I'll talk directly to the camera, but until then, the figures will continue to get the spotlight. 😁
I have to know how you sent up your recording area cause I do unboxing videos and they are trash compared to this. I literally just take pictures in my poorly lit room.
A few factors for recording, as you stated, lighting is very important. I do have a bunch of "RGB Video Light LED Camera Lights" sitting the area that I'm filming. Having the right editing tool to do post processing also makes a big difference. I use Adobe Premiere, it allows you to change exposure, colors, and a lot of other post processing that really makes your filming pop (my original videos can be very dull in color and lighting before I edit them). As for filming... I film everything on an iPhone 13... I don't have some fancy DSLR, but I do use Filmic Pro and film at 4K, which allows me to have crisp zooms in my 1080p videos. I'm still learning how to film my face and get the lighting and editing right there without turning my face into a tomato. Sometimes enhancing the colors of a figure can also enhance the colors of my skin, which make it look weird. So, I am by no means an expert. Each video, I try to do something different. Side Note: Jealous of your Marin Resin figure, I really wanted to pick her up at some point, haha.
Good job on the videos! I like your style, very clean, humorous and informative! Getting inspired for some of my own i am working on. Time to sub! Let's reach that magical 1000 so TH-cam can help with those damn shipping costs.
The hair sculpt on your second figure is insane! Wow she really is a stunner 😍 I have to be honest I’m a little disappointed by hokusai, the paint bleed for the price is just not acceptable… I also don’t like the way they did the carves into her oiran for the patterning, it just looks really flat and lacks shading, the same with her hair but what do I know 🤷♀️ I hope gsc deliver on her as the bikini ver looks fab!
I agree about Hokusai's outfit, the noodlestopper was designed the same way (and those only cost ~$25). From a distance, there is so much happening, that you kind of overlook the small stuff. But up close, you definitely notice how they could have done better. I'm going to blame the wave, all the budget went into making that. Haha.
Completely agree with you on shipping being insane. Something I feel most of us forget about when we preorder. My heart stops lately when I get the invoice, and I see it's double of what I'm expecting. I feel even worse for those in Canada who pay more for shipping. Hopefully things get better in the near future.
They are a bit tricky, because you have to line up the hole with the peg of the birds. And if you don't do it right, I can see them flop around and fall out. Sometime mass produced parts don't fit properly too due to inconsistencies. One option (which I've done for some other figures that didn't fit properly the first time), is take a file like a nail file, and lightly file the plastic peg of the bird to make it slightly smaller at the tip, and see if you can make it fit. And repeat if it doesn't work, and continue to make minor adjustments. Hopefully that works, and you are able to get it in. But I do remember the birds being a pain to get in.
Which are you referring to? Hokusai I believe I bought MFC (MyFigureCollection) from someone who preordered it but didn't have room for it. The other two figures were pre-ordered from AmiAmi. If you are new to the figure collecting, solarisjapan is pretty good at having new or used figures that have been already released (though sometimes they can be a bit pricey depending popularity and scarcity of figure). Let me know if you have further questions. 😊
I just checked GoodSmileus.com and they have Hokusai and Okita in stock. If you are looking for her, a good chance to grab her there. www.goodsmileus.com/product/foreigner-katsushika-hokusai-1729 www.goodsmileus.com/product/alter-ego-okita-souji-alter-absolute-blade-endless-three-stage-1595
1:39 She's beautiful, i've put her in my buy later list.
Will definitely pick her up.
Amazing figures! I had never seen that Okita Souji figure before this video and it looks Stunning!
Yeah! Her character design is phenomenal. And I really think they spent a lot of time making her pose the best it could possibly be, since I don't think her next figure is going to compare. I can't envision a better looking figure of her.

Just found this video lol I got all 3 of them too! My favorite was Hokusai then Okita Alter and lastly my beloved ereshkigal ❤️ all of them pretty good!
Yeah, that is the order I would rank them in for personal enjoyment. They are all great figures, I just love Hokusai more, flaws and all.
Okita is just on another level! She is insane!!!
Indeed, she is! Definitely my favorite Fate figure so far.
So, I've been through you entire channel now and I really enjoy your videos. They're really fun to watch and making we want to throw more money out the window to extend my collection aswell. Also, it's almost frightening, how similar our taste in Anime/Manga and figures about them is xD

Yo didn’t think I would see a face reveal also the quality and editing in your videos are great as usual.

If it wasn't for the insane shipping fee for Okita, I would've order her already.

I cant seem to be able to attach the two birds on Oui's brush any tips on how to go about it?
