I remember seeing those clocks but without the anime theme for like $10 at a discount style shop here in Australia. They're cheap and nasty too. Three pins, a clock and two blind boxes is a total rip off for something to claim to have more stuff in it for that price. :(
That was the most disappointing subscription box ever aha. If I got this in the mail after spending *50* dollars I would be in tears and maybe that's a little dramatic but I literally could buy a nendoroid for 50 dollars or five re-ment blind boxes. As someone who only has so much money to blow on toys and things this would have ruined my day for sure.
Sadly I have to agree. At least all of the items were authentic, but I could totally find all of these items easily within the US and for much cheaper then what I spent on the box. And this is coming from someone who lives in a small town where more than half the people don't even know what anime is?! Plus I could pick out exactly what I wanted and have some change left over. Before I even opened it Dan was saying how light it felt and he couldn't believe I spent so much on the box. And I was hoping that I had found a really cool sub box to share with you guys. I just hate giving bad reviews... It is their first box so maybe it will get better, but I won't be getting anymore unless they make a major improvement.
review of my unboxing of otaku box Just opened my box very disappointed the figure is super cheap looking paint missing on parts bubbles all over the figure from the mold. Wall scroll was not in a package just thrown in the box folded badly with big creases in the material. Shirt says large but its either streched out or and XL. as for the 3 accessories or small items my hero Momo from academia button pin is okay and the fairy tail keychain is nice high school dxd arm band would be okay if the embroidery wasn't all messed... the otaku box definitely not worth the price. Would not recommend this box to anyone. This is an honest review from someone who enjoys watching anime ,reading manga and collecting figures.
@@Bloosica I feel your pain 😭I feel like I got ripped off very poor quality items the figure I got is so badly made not at all authentic just unboxed mine
This is really sad and a complete waste of money. I hope they made a mistake and just sent you a regular box. You could have paid a lot less for all these things together
I keep thinking that as well. Maybe I got sent the wrong box type? It would certainly make me feel better, but it is still kinda pricey for $35 a month plus shipping for what I got. I think they should have included another bigger type of item, like another re-ment or something instead of two pin type of items for the base box. I'm still waiting to see if anyone who got the base box or the more loot box does a review so I can compare.
I was curious about this and I'm kind of glad I checked the reviews. There's no wonder I haven't seen comments about what people got or pics of the items because the people who run Otaku Box know they're giving you shit that you could find at a dollar store and selling them at 3 of 4 times the amount they paid for. I was given the impression that you are guaranteed a pvc figure but I guess that was a lie. If I did want a anime loot box, what's the best option?
Pretty much my impression of what I got(just got mine today, in Australia), I got the high end one(Looking at my bank history, $156.59 AUD, including shipping), got some stickers, a plushie, a small chibi figure(though it came with set pieces and alternate expression heads), a mug, a pin and a small art print. I will say right now, I do not like the chibi artstyle, and I do not like plushies, so this box was pretty devastating for me, but for the price I paid, I really expected 2 decent figures. Lootaku do that and its a cheaper box then this, I only paid about $80 AUD(including shipping) for Lootaku, half the price. I will be looking at them in the future, in hopes that they do somehow succeed and produce better boxes, as they are new and had a lot of issues with the custom boxes(which is also why I subbed), but until I see value in the box at least equal what they are asking for the box, I will not resub.
The content of that looked a little anemic, I would be disappointed as well if that's what I got for that amount. There doesn't seem to be box options anymore. I just subbed for it, so we'll see how the first box turns out. Will let you know how the Jan 2019 box turns out if you'd like.
I'm glad I could help you make an informed decision. I like that I was able to jump right in for the first box to give you guys an early review, but I'm bummed that I wasn't warned haha.
The loot doesn't make up for the money you paid. I'd much rather save that money and spend it at a convention to get something I actually like. A 50 dollar box should justify at least a t-shirt or manga or so. The mini figure is fun (they're about 10-15 I guess) but the pins and buttons are just a disappointment. One button/pin set per box is enough in my opinion, especially if you're someone who doesn't care about pins and the likes. The clock is fun but again something I would personally not buy.
Completely agree. I figured it's about $25 worth of merch and was afraid of that when we felt how light the box was. The clock is nice, but I wouldn't have bought it myself. Which is ok because sometimes sub boxes get you into things you never thought about. But they should at least be worth it.
Definitely. Added value is nice but at the very least the box should be worth the amount you pay. I saw a video about the figure box, which had a Nendo. That one would go for about 38 USD as it was an older one. The personalized item that person got would be worth 14-15 USD, there were also the Pokéball sticker thing (I'd estimate about 4 USD), a large patch (estimate about 8 USD), and a few erotic cards (1.50-2.00). So while the value would be closer to the cost of the box, it's still not worth it.
I was wondering where you got your pillows and if you can tell me what your opinion of the boxes because I've been watching anime since the late 90's so I need some advice on which boxes are better than other ty for your time and effort
Mark Henseler The pillows I got from mandarake.com or when I was in Little Tokyo in LA. As for different boxes I had some luck with a couple of them including Anime Bento and Loot Anime. Loot Anime gives you more unique items as the company will by the license and make their own stuff, but they also include other items. Most of the time it's from companies like Sentai, Funimation, etc. They have also included prize figures and manga from time to time and it's one of the cheapest. The other box that I've had several good luck with is Anime Bento. They have put more trational things like file folders, blind boxes, pins etc. Sometimes you will get manga as well. Though I haven't gotten either in few months so it's possible their format has changed some. I hope that helps.
Okay so I did some quick searching and found that the total of these items on amiami would be approximately 3000¥. I was quite generous with the pin and priced them both around 700, the clock I found similar ones for about 800-850. He re-ment figure divided by 8 was 500 a piece. A gachapon is generally around 200-300 yen. If we add shipping about 5 dollars for shipping if it's SAL small packet (not sure if it's even from japan) the total cost should be around 30 dollars? I genuinely hope you got the wrong box.
Thank you for doing some research. I was thinking that it was around $25 even if you bought the items in the US. Button pins are usually around 2-4 dollars. Sure I might not be able to find this one as easily in the US, but I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard. But getting two pin sets as two of the items is pretty disappointing. If they were extras on top of 6-8 items (as I got the more loot) then I think that would have been ok. But ya the price for the items at retails just doesn't seem worth it. Which makes me think did they buy these at retail? I know they have to make some money, but even a $20 profit per box seems like quite a lot for a start up buying retail and not wholesale.
Bloosica yeah I kinda went with the first price that I saw for pins since I couldn't find the original ones. The price I based it off was a double pin from FMA. Single pins are probably cheaper. Merch generally tends to be more expensive when bought outside Japan but a profit of $20 is ridiculous. Since I couldn't find the items I'm assuming they're old as well. I happened to see a recommended video and the guy got the figure one. He got a figma like figure and a nendroid, with a couple other things. The only thing you both got was the Pokemon stickers. I'm almost convinced you got the wrong box.
How disappointing :/ fingers crossed for you that you see an improvement - It is very sparse in what was included :( pity.... you'd think the first box would have been overflowing
I am not currently signed up. Not because of this box, but because they had an issue moving pre-orders to the sub box type and I didn't resub in time. I'm still going to try to keep an eye out for other reviews and see if they improve as they get more settled, but as their first box you would think they would have wanted to make a good impression.
So that Jan 2019 update you were curious about, my otaku box ended up coming with a pin, lanyard, 20x12cm mousepad the wall scroll out of this weird very course fabricated, a shirt out of a very similar material and a figure. Also a beanie. While I guess the quality can vary from month to month, I wasn't impressed with the contents of the box as a pin or lanyard aren't something you would usually use, though I guess you would display the pin if that was your thing. Considering the price, I think it's not worth the contents in the box as it was $50USD plus another $20-25ish for postage to Australia, putting it somewhere around $100AUD. If the box was about $50-60AUD delivered a month, I would say it might be worth getting, but not for $100AUD.
I have not because the first experience really soured me on the service. I am planning on going back and seeing how some of the subscriptions I used to get are going now and maybe this one will come up again, though not any time soon. However someone got it recently and was telling me how it changed in the comments here if you want to check that out.
I think I saw a video of someone's $100 box and was so happy that I didn't get that one. Nendoroids aren't even worth half that most of the time. I feel they really undervalued their boxes. I've heard they have changed, but haven't really seen any of them myself. Just heard about them.
With other options out there (as long as they are still providing the boxes I received months ago) I would definitely recommend one of those instead. Unless the Otaku Box brought their boxes down to $20 a month or we see a major improvement I would say skip this one.
It's changed now so the boxes aren't exactly like what you see now, but it looks like they have gone the way of bootlegged items to fill them up more so I don't think it's worth it if I'm being honest either way
I do feel like you didn’t get your money’s worth but hopefully they can see this and improve this is a new company so there is always room to do better
I do believe in second chances and I do hope that they listen to customer feedback and get better. I'm not saying that the company intentionally set out to rip us off or anything. It's hard to start a new company with all the operating costs and making a relationship with your vendors for items, but if they continue this way I just can't justify purchasing this box.
I hope you contact the company to see if they sent you the wrong package, because if not, it seems like fraud. The products weren't worth what they claimed they'd be worth. I'd like see a follow up if you reach out to them.
you got the wrong box i think they send you the entry level box i've seen other videos of the january box and they had better items then what you got YOU SHOULD ASK FOR A REFUND BECAUSE THEY SEND YOU A DIFFERENT BOX
I just got my box and was super underwhelmed. Should've done my research before ordering. I just ordered 1 box and I paid 60. This box is much better than what I got. I got a fake figure, crappy t-shirt, a button, a terrible puzzle a "towel" but it's more like a cheap piece of spandex/polyester, and loose trash
I've seen what their boxes are like now and I agree that they've gotten worse as they are including bootlegs. I'm still not happy with the box I got for what I paid, but the bootleg items are why I won't purchase another one even for review.
I feel kinda betrayed right now haha. I checked their site since I signed up and the $105+ worth of items is gone from the more loot description on the page but they still say that you will be getting 50% more loot for less than 50% of the price of their regular box, but I still can't see this being more loot. I still haven't seen the regular box as I haven't found any reviews for that box yet, but if the $35 box is half this then I would still be pretty sad.
Yeah I agree there were issues with the 1st one but, for being so new and haveing so many people and sum issues along the way im gunna give them sum hope and wish for the best(im a figure box sub)
I completely believe in second chances and they have been pretty good about keeping us informed with what has been going on with all the delays. But even so I can't just give up my money if I'm not happy with the product. Maybe once they've had some time to build their company I will look into getting another box.
Haha. Well I do wish things would come sooner for sure, but if the company communicates with us and explains what's going on then I can be pretty understandable.
I did not sub in time for their next box so I won't have a review for next month (or this one technically), but I will be looking to see what they do in the future. I'm thinking about subbing to the manga sub box I was talking about in one of my past videos. They have been around for a while and look to be totally worth it.
What’s disappointing is they didn’t even try to make it look presentable on the inside throwing some crumpled up paper for protection doesn’t exactly make it look exciting to the buyers eye
Blu, even if it wasn’t a mistake. I can’t see what you received as $50 value. These theme boxes are suppoused to give you at least the value, and should be more. If that wasn’t a mistake, then that’s a scam.
Sometime they can be fun and well worth it, but in this case at this time it was not. I see that they have changed their box formulas and I want to test it out again for you guys, but I'm so weary about taking the chance again.
So you got the More Loot Box too? Did you feel that one of the items was catered just to your taste? I mean I did check Pokemon and No Game No Life so I can't say that they didn't. But I did feel very underwhelmed.
i got a Saber sticker which was pretty cool and most likely to be the custom one, but honestly if that all we got for the price.. totally not worth. Iv already paid for feb so... rip
I would be disappointed if my custom item was a stick. Which honestly could have been true in my case as well. Though I did see the pokemon gachapon in someone else's box. I did like the Pokemon blind box though. Best thing in the box, but overall not worth the price. Do let me know how your Feb box is though. I'm really interested to see if they improve.
I can't imagine what people paid out of country. I know some US based sub boxes up charge a bit to ship out of the country and it seems like even a good box for me isn't worth it for someone not out of the US.
I think that's what made it all the more upsetting. They really talked it up on their site and just didn't deliver. And I really feel bad about giving a bad review. I don't think they intentionally tried to rip people off, but I don't think they put enough effort into this first box. But I'm also not going to lie to you guys about how I feel and talk this box up when I really wasn't feeling it.
It was pretty disappointing, but at least one good thing came out of it. I could at least tell you guys so you wouldn't go into this sub box getting your hopes up and that I could save you guys some money.
A new nendoroid would be about that price even with shipping including from Japan. Unless it's a rare or exclusive nendoroid. Then it might be a few bucks more. I did see one person's figure level box and they did get a nendoroid and a couple of extras, but not enough to warrant paying twice the price!
This is a sad box and I think that it doesn't worth the price you have paid. The rement is really cutr but 50 dollars are too much!! Thank you for be honest with us!
I would have been really happy to get that Re-ment box under different circumstances. If they could bring more items like that with some variety then I think it could have been a great box.
I got the $100 box and after many, many emails about it getting lost in transit and all kinds of other issue, i finally received (2months late) the WORST sub box ever! I was beyond disappointed!!! I was really pacient as i knew it was a startup but after all that info i entered for a “custom” box.. smh... geez what a let down!
I agree. The idea of a custom box is what drew me in. I was so excited for this box in the beginning. And I knew it was a new company so I was willing to let some things slide while they worked out the kinks with payment and shipping. They had months to prepare the first box and I feel it should have wowed us. I am still getting emails though and it sounds like they are adding more to their boxes, but it's a lot of money to try a second time after the first box.
@@Bloosica looks like they've improved a bit. I found this video because I just subscribed to otakubox. They now include a figure, tshirt, poster, sticker and 3-5 junk items in every box. Might be worth reviewing again. I would try talking to them about getting a free box to review again.
I feel so bad for you :( that box was not worth 50 bucks at all that’s disgusting. I would get my money back. So so bad. Great video from you tho just sad for you ❤️
Oh wow, I knew from the second you opened the box, and it showed the padding inside it, it wasn't going to be good. $50 for just those tiny items? Ripoff! I really hope for their sake they sent you the wrong box, but even then I'd still say it's a rip-off. The non-Pokemon stuff look like something I could just easily walk into a Hot Topic and buy (and I really hate it when sub boxes put in "Hot Topic level" anime items in a box). Gosh, if this truly was a $50 box, I'd hate to see what you'd get inside of the higher level one. First box or not, this is probably one of the worst sub boxes I've seen, especially for an anime one.
After feeling how heavy it was my heart sunk a little and I was trying to imagine what kind of items could be in there that would make this box this light, but still worth the price and I really couldn't think of much. I got the kinds of things I expected to be that lightweight unfortunately. And I felt that many of these items were items that i could find easily in the US like hot topic, newbury comics (for those in the north east) and even online shops that are based in the US. Now that wouldn't have been so disappointing if that's what was advertised, but their back story was that they went to japan and wanted to share those types of goods. So I was hoping (expecting?) more items that were harder to find.
*Looks like a whopping $6.95 box!* Money well spent 👍 Only morons buy something they have zero clue as to what they're buying for that price per month.
That’s a sad box!! 50 dollars what! Such a rip off
I definitely felt ripped off! I was so hyped for this subscription after reading their website. Definitely not worth approximately 105+ as advertised.
I remember seeing those clocks but without the anime theme for like $10 at a discount style shop here in Australia. They're cheap and nasty too. Three pins, a clock and two blind boxes is a total rip off for something to claim to have more stuff in it for that price. :(
This new box is a new scam
Akibento is like 25 dollars
That is such a ripoff! Definetely one of the worst sub boxes!
The only good thing I can see that came out of all this is that I can let you guys know about this box. :(
That was the most disappointing subscription box ever aha. If I got this in the mail after spending *50* dollars I would be in tears and maybe that's a little dramatic but I literally could buy a nendoroid for 50 dollars or five re-ment blind boxes. As someone who only has so much money to blow on toys and things this would have ruined my day for sure.
Sadly I have to agree. At least all of the items were authentic, but I could totally find all of these items easily within the US and for much cheaper then what I spent on the box. And this is coming from someone who lives in a small town where more than half the people don't even know what anime is?! Plus I could pick out exactly what I wanted and have some change left over.
Before I even opened it Dan was saying how light it felt and he couldn't believe I spent so much on the box. And I was hoping that I had found a really cool sub box to share with you guys. I just hate giving bad reviews...
It is their first box so maybe it will get better, but I won't be getting anymore unless they make a major improvement.

review of my unboxing of otaku box Just opened my box very disappointed the figure is super cheap looking paint missing on parts bubbles all over the figure from the mold. Wall scroll was not in a package just thrown in the box folded badly with big creases in the material.

Would not recommend this box to anyone. This is an honest review from someone who enjoys watching anime ,reading manga and collecting figures.
@@Bloosica I feel your pain 😭I feel like I got ripped off very poor quality items the figure I got is so badly made not at all authentic just unboxed mine

Thanks for the update. Other than the figure was anything else licensed or was it all in-house items?
@@Bloosicato be honest it looked all in house aside from the figure.
If u never think about making a follow up i would totally watch it im interested but im broke 😢
Does she ever go back and see if its changed? You know since this was the very first box ever
I have not because the first experience really soured me on the service. I am planning on going back and seeing how some of the subscriptions I used to get are going now and maybe this one will come up again, though not any time soon. However someone got it recently and was telling me how it changed in the comments here if you want to check that out.
I was part of the first round of boxes and spent $100. I unboxed it and got one nederoid figure and a few magnets. never buying again.
I think I saw a video of someone's $100 box and was so happy that I didn't get that one. Nendoroids aren't even worth half that most of the time. I feel they really undervalued their boxes. I've heard they have changed, but haven't really seen any of them myself. Just heard about them.
The akibento and animebento so is better this looks like crap!!! I would of been pissed
With other options out there (as long as they are still providing the boxes I received months ago) I would definitely recommend one of those instead. Unless the Otaku Box brought their boxes down to $20 a month or we see a major improvement I would say skip this one.
A roll of stamps would fit perfectly in Charizard flame.
Btw huge fan of u guys love ur videos been watching every since ur first video!!
Aww thank you so much ^_^ That means the world to me!
Just asking is it legit in is it worth it??
It's changed now so the boxes aren't exactly like what you see now, but it looks like they have gone the way of bootlegged items to fill them up more so I don't think it's worth it if I'm being honest either way
Helpful video thankya
No Problem!
I do feel like you didn’t get your money’s worth but hopefully they can see this and improve this is a new company so there is always room to do better
I do believe in second chances and I do hope that they listen to customer feedback and get better. I'm not saying that the company intentionally set out to rip us off or anything. It's hard to start a new company with all the operating costs and making a relationship with your vendors for items, but if they continue this way I just can't justify purchasing this box.
I hope you contact the company to see if they sent you the wrong package, because if not, it seems like fraud. The products weren't worth what they claimed they'd be worth. I'd like see a follow up if you reach out to them.
you got the wrong box i think they send you the entry level box i've seen other videos of the january box and they had better items then what you got YOU SHOULD ASK FOR A REFUND BECAUSE THEY SEND YOU A DIFFERENT BOX
Just subscribed to Otaku Box because of a dxd statue for july month. Not sure if they have improved from this but heres to hoping
I watched an unboxing video from, Otaku and they got the sold out box and it wasn't any better. He got two figures, I keychain and the Pokeball. 🙁
And a post card with naked anime. ☹
I think I saw that one as well. So much money for not much stuff :(
I just got my box and was super underwhelmed. Should've done my research before ordering. I just ordered 1 box and I paid 60. This box is much better than what I got. I got a fake figure, crappy t-shirt, a button, a terrible puzzle a "towel" but it's more like a cheap piece of spandex/polyester, and loose trash
I've seen what their boxes are like now and I agree that they've gotten worse as they are including bootlegs. I'm still not happy with the box I got for what I paid, but the bootleg items are why I won't purchase another one even for review.
Yeah that’s a pretty sad box. It’s def not $100+ dollars worth! I’d be so sad :(
I feel kinda betrayed right now haha. I checked their site since I signed up and the $105+ worth of items is gone from the more loot description on the page but they still say that you will be getting 50% more loot for less than 50% of the price of their regular box, but I still can't see this being more loot. I still haven't seen the regular box as I haven't found any reviews for that box yet, but if the $35 box is half this then I would still be pretty sad.
*cool*
Don’t get the box... I subbed as well and got delays as well... but the problem is that... yeah not worth the price
You didn't show us what pokemon you got in the first one.
The poke ball? That just had stickers in it.
wow hay music I heard first time in Popular youtubers
Yeah I agree there were issues with the 1st one but, for being so new and haveing so many people and sum issues along the way im gunna give them sum hope and wish for the best(im a figure box sub)
I completely believe in second chances and they have been pretty good about keeping us informed with what has been going on with all the delays. But even so I can't just give up my money if I'm not happy with the product. Maybe once they've had some time to build their company I will look into getting another box.
UR BACKGROUND IS SO COOL
Thank you!
I not patient I look out side everyday until my crate comes
Haha. Well I do wish things would come sooner for sure, but if the company communicates with us and explains what's going on then I can be pretty understandable.
Unless they up there game if u are going to do more reviews on this one!! Maybe better luck next box
I did not sub in time for their next box so I won't have a review for next month (or this one technically), but I will be looking to see what they do in the future. I'm thinking about subbing to the manga sub box I was talking about in one of my past videos. They have been around for a while and look to be totally worth it.
I do believe in second chances and as I keep saying I hate doing bad reviews, so maybe they will get a chance to redeem themselves.
What’s disappointing is they didn’t even try to make it look presentable on the inside throwing some crumpled up paper for protection doesn’t exactly make it look exciting to the buyers eye
I have seen boxes less presentable than this, but I agree that a nice presentation goes a long way.
That’s a ripoff!! U should contact the Co. that has to be wrong!
I'm really thinking about it, but I was hoping to see more reviews to see if that is just what everyone was getting at my level.
Blu, even if it wasn’t a mistake. I can’t see what you received as $50 value. These theme boxes are suppoused to give you at least the value, and should be more. If that wasn’t a mistake, then that’s a scam.
i am paying 45+ for that?!! your crazy
exactly
I’m quite lucky 🐁 I got a main character in Attack on Titan mini figure! 🏔
This is why I won't buy any of these mystery boxes. Just buy things you want online instead.
Sometime they can be fun and well worth it, but in this case at this time it was not. I see that they have changed their box formulas and I want to test it out again for you guys, but I'm so weary about taking the chance again.
i got basically the same. definitely disappointing, probs going to cancel my sub.
So you got the More Loot Box too? Did you feel that one of the items was catered just to your taste? I mean I did check Pokemon and No Game No Life so I can't say that they didn't. But I did feel very underwhelmed.
i got a Saber sticker which was pretty cool and most likely to be the custom one, but honestly if that all we got for the price.. totally not worth. Iv already paid for feb so... rip
I would be disappointed if my custom item was a stick. Which honestly could have been true in my case as well. Though I did see the pokemon gachapon in someone else's box. I did like the Pokemon blind box though. Best thing in the box, but overall not worth the price.
Do let me know how your Feb box is though. I'm really interested to see if they improve.
UPS! Sorry about this crate :( 50 dollars is a lot of money! More if you are from another country than USA, like me.
I can't imagine what people paid out of country. I know some US based sub boxes up charge a bit to ship out of the country and it seems like even a good box for me isn't worth it for someone not out of the US.
For example: loot anime is 35 dollars to me, and it is better than this one you got now :(
That was a sad box and I will feel the same way too.
Really happy to see I'm not the only one!
Oh my, the art of the red haired girl is a recolor of Hyanna natsu´s art :/
Well if that's true I hope that she commissioned it from her.
Aw it’s a shame that it is a rip off. It sounds like such a good idea. You are so kind about these companies. You deserve all the loot :D
I think that's what made it all the more upsetting. They really talked it up on their site and just didn't deliver. And I really feel bad about giving a bad review. I don't think they intentionally tried to rip people off, but I don't think they put enough effort into this first box. But I'm also not going to lie to you guys about how I feel and talk this box up when I really wasn't feeling it.
that is so upsetting!! I'm so sorry!
It was pretty disappointing, but at least one good thing came out of it. I could at least tell you guys so you wouldn't go into this sub box getting your hopes up and that I could save you guys some money.
I was actually thinking about getting this. I'm glad I didn't. Doesn't seem worth it at all.
Glad I could save you some heartache.
Bloosica
I'm sorry it happened to you though.
No
kill me
Dude pins for 50$ ouch
I could get those for 17$
I mean all the items
50 dollars on a bunch of junk?! What the heck! Wow, I'm honestly appalled!
The price does not match what I got for sure.
O - Taco box 0:34
Wow that’s a rip off for 50 bucks
i would request money back on paypal XD
Daylight robbery. The 50$ is better spent on a new nendoroid
A new nendoroid would be about that price even with shipping including from Japan. Unless it's a rare or exclusive nendoroid. Then it might be a few bucks more. I did see one person's figure level box and they did get a nendoroid and a couple of extras, but not enough to warrant paying twice the price!
This is a sad box and I think that it doesn't worth the price you have paid.
The rement is really cutr but 50 dollars are too much!!
Thank you for be honest with us!
I would have been really happy to get that Re-ment box under different circumstances. If they could bring more items like that with some variety then I think it could have been a great box.
I agree with you! ^-^
Thanks for your video I was trying to figure out a subscription box to give a try and this video let me know hell no to this garbage...
I got the $100 box and after many, many emails about it getting lost in transit and all kinds of other issue, i finally received (2months late) the WORST sub box ever! I was beyond disappointed!!! I was really pacient as i knew it was a startup but after all that info i entered for a “custom” box.. smh... geez what a let down!
I agree. The idea of a custom box is what drew me in. I was so excited for this box in the beginning. And I knew it was a new company so I was willing to let some things slide while they worked out the kinks with payment and shipping. They had months to prepare the first box and I feel it should have wowed us. I am still getting emails though and it sounds like they are adding more to their boxes, but it's a lot of money to try a second time after the first box.
That is a rip-off I am thinking about buying the akibento or anime bento box
that was unfortunate ...
Ya... it certainly did not make my day
@@Bloosica looks like they've improved a bit. I found this video because I just subscribed to otakubox. They now include a figure, tshirt, poster, sticker and 3-5 junk items in every box.
Might be worth reviewing again. I would try talking to them about getting a free box to review again.
FUCK I'M LATE😭😭 I just ordered it
I feel so bad for you :( that box was not worth 50 bucks at all that’s disgusting. I would get my money back. So so bad. Great video from you tho just sad for you ❤️
I hope they watch this video and read the comments and get their act together. You did great by being honest with us.
Thanks, but ya the box was disappointing. It will be interesting to see what they do with feedback.
All they have now is nsfw stuff and I just want Jojo stuff :(
Who else heard pokymon
I heard and saw her say it as Palkemon
Oh wow, I knew from the second you opened the box, and it showed the padding inside it, it wasn't going to be good. $50 for just those tiny items? Ripoff! I really hope for their sake they sent you the wrong box, but even then I'd still say it's a rip-off. The non-Pokemon stuff look like something I could just easily walk into a Hot Topic and buy (and I really hate it when sub boxes put in "Hot Topic level" anime items in a box).
Gosh, if this truly was a $50 box, I'd hate to see what you'd get inside of the higher level one. First box or not, this is probably one of the worst sub boxes I've seen, especially for an anime one.
After feeling how heavy it was my heart sunk a little and I was trying to imagine what kind of items could be in there that would make this box this light, but still worth the price and I really couldn't think of much. I got the kinds of things I expected to be that lightweight unfortunately. And I felt that many of these items were items that i could find easily in the US like hot topic, newbury comics (for those in the north east) and even online shops that are based in the US. Now that wouldn't have been so disappointing if that's what was advertised, but their back story was that they went to japan and wanted to share those types of goods. So I was hoping (expecting?) more items that were harder to find.
Wow that box was utter crap
I like other subscription box.. English boxes not trust worthy
Shell company. Rip Off
*Looks like a whopping $6.95 box!*
Money well spent 👍
Only morons buy something they have zero clue as to what they're buying for that price per month.
