Figure pricing is affected by a lot of factors. Size is not the most critical one. Paint shading, Detail level, Character popular are as equally important. Also some of items are used, so they might not the super perfect and get discounted.
Whilst browsing around Akihabara, a certain Tokisaki Kurumi figure that I wanted was going for between 35,000 - 40,000yen. I then found one going for just under 20,000yen in Lashingbang. The reason why it was so much cheaper, was because it was 'damaged'. The damage was the tiniest of marks on the figure's base, that even when the worker pointed it out to me, I was struggling to spot it. Some of the discounts that you can find are amazing.
I have that Levi Figma. It wasn't particularly easy to put together because of the ODM gear etc. It almost feels like putting a model kit together at times. It's a really cool looking figure with some interesting features (like you can hang it from things) but if you're looking for a "typical" Figma to get the idea of the brand, it might be better to start with a non-AOT one.
The letters are not for rankings tho. lol. It's Prize A, prize, B, Prize C, etc. Goku was "Last one" prize where you can only get it after the last ticket is sold.
The Ichiban Kuji numerals are simply to differentiate the individual items within a set and how they are awarded. However in terms of the lottery A is the prize you are least likely to get.
at 14:46 there are two Kill La Kill boxes on the shelf next to the guy behind it. I’m a HUGE KLK fan. Are those figma models of Ryuko and Satsuki? i’ve never seen those boxes before.
fyi price of ichiban kuji figures doesnt depend on the letter. Being A doesnt mean its the highest prize. Its usually the LAST ONE Version that is the most expensive one.
Figma does one thing i like that Tamashii doesn’t and it's surprising being so simple. They do give you a bag for all the accessories to go in. In a way wosh Good smile could give the fans of some casual clothed sailor moon figures. The school uniforms or any of the casual outfits they have worn.
my first trip to japan and went to akihabara and a store didnt give me a bag for my figure and just put their proof of purchase sticker and i went into a store and got followed and employees thought i was stealing the figure as i was walking out but they quickly apologized
Nice video Cailee! Sorry that you were yelled at. I understand that filming inside retail stores in Japan is generally not allowed unless otherwise stated or you have permission to. That said, did AmiAmi change their no photography and filming policy or are stricter now? I have yet to visit the AmiAmi Figure Tower location yet, but when I was at AmiAmi Radio Kaiken and their old 2nd hand store location a few months ago, I did not run into issues taking photos of these types of figures, including the 18+ section of the store. I wonder if they stop you not because you were on the fan service or 18+ / NSFW floor but they are just stricter now? Hope you can return to that store again in the future for more footage, enjoy living vicariously through your videos.
Man Those Hentai Floors! Can't Complet The Tour, For Me I Love Kamen Rider I Even Have A Small Collection Going On For It. Oh! Maybe In A Future Vlog You Could Do A Mandarake Tour?
Ichiban kujis top prize is not A rank, it's the "Last One" prize. The goku with wings is a Last One. It's usually a slightly different version of one of the other figures in the Kuji, but sometimes like in the case of that angel goku, it's a unique figure. Regardless, it's usually going to be the most valuable in the lottery. You win the "last one" prize by buying the last ticket in the box. That way even if the remaining prizes aren't very good you are going to get a nice once by buying the rest.
Thank you for the information! I was a bit confused at first, but I appreciate your comment to help clarify! Next time I see a "Last One" prize again, I'll be more informed!! :)))
P.O.P is actually by Megahouse and it's not really a brand from amiami. and the one you forgot is Bon Clay. and thanks for doing this video. always nice to see figures and your pretty face too.
Doesn’t know what a “last one” is. Never heard of Nendoroid or Mafex. Megahouse One Piece POP has been a line for 20 years. Time for host to do more homework.
Is it just me or are anime bad guys always more over designed than like the protagonists? Not in a bad way but like, they always seem more like, they have way more going on... and I mean, that seems to translate to figures in a big way... I dunno... maybe it's just me...
I like some parts of it, but not everything! Some of the characters are really interesting and well written, but I'm not a huge fan of the story overall. It's not for me, but it might be better for other people who resonate with the story! :)))

I would request if you do this again please spend some time looking at the scale figures, and not just prize figures and nendo's.

Oh! That's good to know! We'll keep it in mind if we do an unboxing for Figma figures next time!

for ichiban kuji figures, the angel goku with king kai is a LAST ONE prize figure - meaning harder to get than the A prize
I'm Japanese, but I'm rooting for you.
Black Rock Shooter was a PSP game. Not sure if it was anime prior to that.

Hi! I love KLK too! I haven't seen many figures of them, but I'll definitely keep a look out next time!

Sympathique toutes ses figurines, surtout celle de Devilman !
Petite visite agréable en bonne compagnie. ^^

Your grammar is quite off. I guess what you are trying to say is "Figma do many good characters that are underrated by Bandai"?
my first trip to japan and went to akihabara and a store didnt give me a bag for my figure and just put their proof of purchase sticker and i went into a store and got followed and employees thought i was stealing the figure as i was walking out but they quickly apologized
Love the Jazz tracks, it reminds me of Cowboy Bebop.
Would be cool to a street fighter unboxing. These long videos are great!

I'm looking for Kamen Rider Henshi items and Sentai items, including Yokai Watch items
Try Jada Toy's Street Fighter line. . Much more economical, and the sculpts are great. InBox or out of the box, JADA toys
Im telling you.. Some of the stuff on floor 7 is straight up creepy if not illegal. lmao
Why? What’s up there?
Yes do a figma unboxing!!
Man Those Hentai Floors! Can't Complet The Tour,
For Me I Love Kamen Rider I Even Have A Small Collection Going On For It. Oh! Maybe In A Future Vlog You Could Do A Mandarake Tour?
Can you review the Naruto kurama link mode shf?

So the fifth floor is like what?? anime girl porn figures? Lol
Thank you for the information! I was a bit confused at first, but I appreciate your comment to help clarify! Next time I see a "Last One" prize again, I'll be more informed!! :)))
Pretty as ever Caileeeee! 🎉
Alright nice one!
😍😍😍
Nobody shouts at our Cailee! Hmp 😤
Weirdo get you own life man ..this host already married 😑

You are so cute😍🥰

Or time for you to relax, they are just toys, she’s not claiming to be an expert
japan geek that don't know Shin-chan. hmmmm. just use your phone to do an image search.

Wolverine and Sabertooth Are Not Brother. 😊
why do you not like "my hero academia"?
cause it dropped off bad, bruh. Let's face it. It's just not easy to provide enough char development for a whole cast that big.
I like some parts of it, but not everything! Some of the characters are really interesting and well written, but I'm not a huge fan of the story overall. It's not for me, but it might be better for other people who resonate with the story! :)))
Can you review some amazing Yamaguchi figure brands?
