    Recolors honestly feel like a really cool new development, like there's just so much more love to go around for all these amazing statues, it just makes sense if companies like BINDing wanna cash in on this hot-interest concept, lord i know I would go insane if more color variants came out just for Queen Caroline 😍
    like more suit colors?!? i would lose my mind 😆

      YES I completely agree with you 🙌🏼💕 The recent wave of recolors has made the dream of being able to collect figures you’ve had your eyes on for months and months, finally obtainable 🥹 And for crazy people like me, to be able to get two of your favorite figure but ✨different✨ LOL you have no idea how happy it makes me to see you’re just like me & share the same love for Caroline 💕\(._. )/💕 After having her recolor…. I want MOREEEEE CAROLINE🤪🩷🐰

    She is an amazing bunny, but $950 is a crazy price for her, the most expensive bunny I’ve seen recently was Akeno (High School DXD) for ¥125k, it was up on AmiAmi for like 10 hours before it sold.

      Oh absolutely, I’ve definitely learned since that initial purchase to not succumb to the crazy after market prices as much, especially more recently with all of these recolors being done - but at the time she was just a “i need it, don’t think too much into it” purchase for me 🤣🩷 Akenos aftermarket is WILD, I’m really hoping for her bunny to get a bareleg as I have Rias & Koneko in their bareleg formats as well & id love to finish the trio. Did you see the new redos for the HighSchool DXD bunnies that were recently announced?? Akenos bunny looks INCREDIBLE🙌🏼

    I am not to familiar with this character, but she seems very well designed. Good on the production team. Recolors do open up many doors and possibilities (different color palettes, gold "trophy" variant, etc, etc.). I wonder what the future has in store.
    Side note, as a video idea suggestion, it would be cool if you gave some tips on keeping your resins clean, and properly maintaining them.

      The production team deserves everything and more after making such a wonderful figure 🩷 Sakiyamama does incredible illustrations of their original characters and I’m hoping for all of their current illustrations to get more figures just like Caroline 🙌🏼 I’m very excited to see what the future has in store for recolors as well, as the possibilities seem endless!! Anubis & Bastet by BINDing just recently got bareleg rereleases which i found very intriguing as their original releases had half tights, so i can’t wait to see what other grails get redone.
      Thank you so much for the video suggestion, I’ve been thinking about making a video on “Maintaining Your Figure Collection” in the next coming weeks to share what i do to preserve & take care of all of my figures, so I’m very happy that there’s interest in this 🥹 Thank you for the suggestion and for this wonderful comment 🩷

    really informative video! I really like the fact that we get recolors and rereleases so we dont have to pay the ridiculous aftermarket prices! I prefer recolors than bare leg version tbh its like a new twist. I was so happy to see the bastet got a release but i was hoping for a recolor and not a bareleg version. thankfully i didint gave up on buying her for the amounts she is now !

    Excellent video. Caroline Yuri tanned is my favorite figure. When I look at someone's collection for the first time I'm always thinking "do they collect 1/4 scale figures, and if so do they have Caroline Yuri?" If the answer to the first part of the question is yes, and they know Caroline Yuri exists, they are likely to have her because she is irresistible. Having both versions is outstanding.

      I remember the first time I saw her. It was a video and she was the favorite figure in that persons collection as well. I saw her, went wow, and immediately went looking for her. The first site I came to had a description I'll never forget. It said she was originally designed as a seductive demon with a power level exceeding that of a demon lord. I went okay. Then I thought how might that power manifest itself. The obvious answer is she can compel attraction. In other words, she can put a spell on you that makes you want her. That's how I've thought of her ever since. You look into her eyes, she licks the tip of her finger, and from then on you must have her--even two or three of her. Perhaps you know the feeling.😜

    I admittedly won't lie it was great that the recolors released and it did tank the prices a little bit but, the exception to the rule ironically is the postcard being included with the girls. If the postcard isn't included then yes it is definitely a fair bit. I could be wrong but the prices change here and there pretty hard at the moment.'

      I definitely agree with you here, as much as I’d love to say the aftermarket is completely dropping, there is definitely a tendency for it to fluctuate - i wish we knew definitively 🥲🩷 Also, i would’ve loved to see a recolor postcard done for Caroline’s recolor - it would’ve been so beautiful but i am glad that i am able to get the originals postcard to have a nice piece by Sakiyamama 🥹🩷 i can’t wait to see what happens in the future 🙌🏼

    @MrVosgy 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    When it comes to the injection molds they do have a finite lifespan, the more copies that are done with one the worse each subsequent casting is. This takes a while (talking in the 1000's of prints to have any noticeable change), however the original mold for that other figure might have been used up to a point that the quality wasn't there anymore or it might have been stored inappropriately which caused them to have to make a new one, that would explain the size difference. Though if you were making a new one because of quality control issues with the original mold, you would think that they would take more notice of the issues with the new mold.

    • @NadyaCollectibles

      First of, i just want to say thank you so much for leaving this comment - i feel like i just learned some things that i otherwise would have never learned before, and things like the manufacturing side of things that lead to potential QC issues are the kinds of things im so eager to learn about this hobby so i just want to express my gratitude in you taking the time to leave this comment for others to learn as well 🩷 With binding, they don’t seem to have a set amount of figures they will sell for a preorder listing before they stop taking orders - it seems they’re on a Preorder Period Start Date -> Preorder Period End Date basis, so I’m thinking they could’ve had an extremely large order to fulfill. With Olga Discordias recolor, she was many people’s grail figure and her original release is hard to obtain for a good price. Your comment pretty much answers all of my questions surrounding all of the QC issues she had - a new mold being used makes complete sense for the size difference, and lately even with completely new figures they’re releasing a lot of them still have QC issues. I think in general they just don’t do a final QC check on their figures, which is very unfortunate ☹️ Just gotta say thank you one more time for providing your insight on this, the pieces are finally coming together for me as i am typing this out 🤣🩷

    Yeah i saw that ! I'm litteraly starting to browse Buyee right now. Altough FREEing bunnies still "conserve their value", i've found really good stuff at half new price ! It's like watches, it's pure artificial scarcity. With all the Good Smile reiisues, stuff is dropping.
    I have a question tho, is Buyee often dealing in counterfeits ? I've seen 1/4 of price sent without box so i'm getting a bit suspicious... What do you think ?

    • @NadyaCollectibles
      @NadyaCollectibles  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      YES EXACTLY, I’ve definitely noticed the same & I’ve been able to pick up some grails on proxy’s for really good prices in comparison to what they were a few months ago because with all of these frequent rereleases across figure companies, no one is sure if their figures will retain what they paid - even on amiami preowned a few weeks or so after a bunny figures release some of them go straight half off on sale it’s so interesting to see 🥹💕
      That’s such a great question, and something I’ve actually been dealing with a lot recently as well - for me, if i see a grail figure for significantly less without their box i will generally go for it BUT only after I’ve extensively looked at the sellers previous reviews. Sometimes these sellers are selling factory defects that are official, but have quite a bit of flaws - If i see even like 1 bad rating i get hesitant because even if its cheap my biggest fear is buying a bootleg (again 🥲💔)
      So i guess my advice around that would be to take a look at MyFigureCollection, check to see if that figure has a bootleg & spend some time comparing what they have listed to any available pictures of the bootleg. Then, i would check the title of the listing for the figure and make sure there’s no “replica” or “toy” mentioned anywhere in the title or description - also the sellers reviews are the tell all for me, but to me if a figure is $100+ cheaper without the box it’s totally worth it. As long as it’s packaged well 😂🩷 thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment, i really appreciate your insight so much 💕

    I’m not a big bunny fan, I only have one bunny, Diane from Seven Deadly Sins and I got her to go with some of the other 7DS figures I have just to sit on top of the manga. But I much prefer bare leg bunnies, or ones with socks.

      Diane is an excellent choice for your bunny figure, she is one of my favorite female characters and her bunny figure turned out fantastic - i love that they kept her in her traditional outfit rather than a bunny suit 🧡 Based on your last sentence, i think you may like this bunny figure that is potentially releasing next month “Original - B-style - Shiraume - 1/4 (FREEing)” - let me know what you think of her, as i also have her on preorder 🙌🏼

    I can really see bare leg bunny's fading out and recolors taking their place as they don't sell that well. Freeing has done a couple recolors & slight redesign rather then a bare leg and now Zero 2 is getting a straight up rerelease. Re colors is the better way rather then bare leg imo

    • @NadyaCollectibles
      @NadyaCollectibles  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have to say that I definitely agree with you here - with these recolors, you can maintain so much of the figures presence from the original release while also having something new 🙌🏼 Also, it’s interesting because BINDing ended up doing bareleg rereleases for two of the most highly sought after figures, Anubis and Bastet - I’m really curious as to how they came about that decision, being their original releases had half fishnets. The Zero Two rerelease had me SHOOK!! Especially because she already had her bareleg done, i was lucky there because i don’t have her original release only her bareleg, so I’ll be able to pick up the OG now 🥲💕The Scáthach rerelease also shook me cus i had paid a not so great price for her a few months prior 😂 all in all, i think your comment is exactly how things will go from here on out
