Oh my god I remember seeing that figure at 21:11 and just started laughing. How did Native and rocket boy thought this was okay to show off to the public 😭 And I’m so excited to see your freeing deep dive!
LOL. Love the intro! I like your Snoopy sweater. It doesn't matter the season. Comfort should always be priority one. I had so many defects with the figures I bought this year, many of which I love but had to go through the hassle of getting replacements, the major ones being GSC's Pyra (3rd rerelease) and Mythra (3rd rerelease) from Xenoblade Chronicles, Intelligent System's Lyn from Fire Emblem (super poor paint job; GSC offered me a full replacement), Megahouse's Queen from Persona 5 Royal, and Kotobukiya's Shion from Hololive. I will say, to this day, Good Smile Company is the best for western shoppers when it comes to replacements. They are always willing to help, as long as the requests are reasonable. Better yet, you can communicate with them directly in English or Japanese. Thank you all who participated in this discussion video. I love hearing my fellow collector's experiences and opinions. P. S. I have no words for that last one. Who in the world greenlit that design?! xD
Boy... I was not expecting my comment to receive a shout-out haha 😂 As always, we can trust MFC to provide us all things saucy and some cannot be more honest. In fact, I was hoping for more brutal responses or passive aggressive ones - those will be the most entertaining 😂 Have a great year ahead, hope you receive some well deserved audience growth and have fun with whatever (about the diversification of contents) you are planning.
As an Aussie, let me say the Astolfo one really annoyed me. As a whole I love the figure and it's great quality but the bonus face plate is what makes it better (perfect for his character and just the pose of the figure as a whole), but you can't directly access the Kotobukiya store here. So third party was the only option and with a 10,000 yen increase to the price just for the bonus plus added costs for shipping and handling through third party and the crap exchange rate it would have worked out to like $180 AUD extra just for the face. Wasn't worth it for me in the end so I just have the standard but everytime I see photos with the bonus face it just looks so much better. Still love my boy though, just disappointed at the thought that it could've been great.
Well not that the Banpresto Racing Miku price figure looks any good BUT she is currently only $11 on Amazon US. Through those lens, she does look around that price 😂
HOO BOY, I have one to share! The Platonica and Luminoustar figures by Fluo. They look ROUGH compared to the prototypes (check the comparison in the most recent comment on Platonica's MFC page). 🫣 They were bad enough that Fluo put out an apology statement saying they were going to remake the figures with a new factory. But I guess the unfortunate souls like myself who already got the crappy quality ones from AmiAmi are stuck with them... It was admittedly stupid of me to pre-order figures by a new manufacturer. 😑 Won't be making that mistake again! Also, that's a REALLY unfortunate QC issue that person had with the Byleth figure. 😱 I have that figure and thankfully don't have any issues.
@@CourageousGoldfish I suspect they're just putting the figures up for preorder again. MFC comments say there is a new release date of October 2024, but the manufacturer wasn't clear about what will happen to those that already received the figures. Someone reached out to AmiAmi to ask and they said Fluo had not contacted them regarding any issues, so I get the feeling that unless we order the figures again (which I will obviously NOT be doing), we won't be getting replacements. And who can say whether the ones by the new factory will even be good? Just a crazy situation.
I'm really excited for that Lucoa figure by Q-Six personally. Nobody is looking at the base, so that doesn't matter, and the anatomy is how that artist draws, so that's fine. It's far better that, than being the Freeing version where she's a generic bunny girl with Lucoa's head stuck on it. Lucoa has a shockingly low number of figures considering. There are a lot of Tohru or Kanna, but not many of Lucoa, and only that one Goodsmile one of Ilulu. Though at least she has 3 other ones announced. That tanned figure you showed later, really ugly. I'm all for sexy figures, but yeah that one was just bad.

A full replacement is crazy 😳 that’s so unfortunate they messed up so bad sending you them like that in the first place lol
The bunny figures at 16:00 makes it seem those pink parts are causing skin integrity pressure points which ruins the whole sexy theme
Agreed, it’s like the suits don’t fit them!

20:15 "a glazed donut" 🤣🤣🤣
Wild how Kotobukiya got the animators of Robot Chicken to make that one figure
Wild indeed

WHAAAT omg that upcharge is CRAZY. Unreal.

goldfish, i like the orange skin more at 1957 than the beige skin at 22 23
I can see why it would be more appealing! Especially depending on what kind of figures you collect :D
Kitigawa Marin bunny from freeing was probably the biggest let down, i wanted her but the community is right they could've done a far better job.
Yes! Supremely underwhelming for sure.
Naaaah that Erza was bad. Bad, bad, bad. Undefendable.
It’s definitely the worst one I’ve ever had. Undoubtedlyyyy 😅

Wait…. So they’re giving everybody replacements for free or they’re resubmitting the figures for preorder??? That’s insane omg I’m so sorry

Hey, that’s great you’re excited for her! Also yea, don’t know how Native’s getting away with that at all 😂
