- Hi everyone! Today's video is all about my experiences with, and opinions on, some of the most popular figure companies. I know when I got into the hobby I wasn't sure what companies to order from so I thought I would share what I've found to hopefully help some new collectors make informed purchases. I talk about the pros and cons of Good Smile Company, Kotobukiya, Myethos, Alter, Freeing, FOTS Japan, Union Creative, Chara-Ani, and Taito.
I hope you enjoy this video! Thanks for watching!

Prize Figures collector favorite: Sega, Taito, Banpresto
Budget friendly 👌too
As a broke person I adore these brands.
Hell yeah! Those prize figures are cheap and can be as beautiful or even more so than many 100/200$ figures.
That makes me happy to see banpresto before watching this, my first figure is coming from that company.
Hey 😊
Whenever I buy figures I become a detective. Best price, shipping, store reviews etc all come into play.
That's honestly my favourite part! There's nothing better than finding a figure you've been surching for for a great price
@@GwynCollects Until it gets bought while you still look for alternative prices xD

As a prize figure collector I highly recommend Taito. The company makes one of the most affordable figs and the quiality is for the most part very VERY good. Some figures look even like scale. For example - Hatsune Miku mermaid ver., which they made. For the scale anime fig company I would probably recommend the most would be Kotobukiya, cuz of their multiple media choosing for their figures. They not only make figs of anime, but also western shows or comics. For example their bishoujo series.
Btw. great video ;)
I did a quick search for Taito figures on MFC, and my only gripe right now,
is the majority of Taito figures tend to be nothing but Miku, Rem, and Mai.
Also, very few male characters. Other than that, I 100% agree.
@@nine_tails137 not anymore...in fact this might be a late reply but TAITO releases now have a variety of options...compared to SEGA plus TAITO makes topnotch figure with amazing design base as SEGA lately getting lazy with typical plain ole boring generic base.
@@rikimarudonchelie1229 Not according to MFC. I just did a search for Taito, and I saw the odd 1 or 2 Albedo, Chika, Kurumi, Quintessential Quintuplets, and a few other characters I don't recognize. Where as Miku, Rem and Mai have like, 5-10 different figure options. So IDK where you got that idea?🤔
@@nine_tails137 unfortunately MFC lately aren't up to date...so I don't bother referring them I'm more on the manufacturer website itself...in which they also get their information on the product item....they even released made from abyss, darling in the franxx...I don't know cus I got my from my supplier whose offering me pre-order.
@@rikimarudonchelie1229 And which website is that exactly? I did a google search and found the Japanese website and can't read it for obvious reasons.
Good video overall like the text box on the side and found this to be informative. If I could make a suggestion I would put some pictures in the video so that people have a point of reference for example a good paint job compared to a bad paint job.
Thank you! I will make sure to do that next time I make a video like this
The first and only company I knew is the Good Smile Company since I love their nendroids😂😂
Same!
Same
My words! 🙂
But to be honest, from the companies presented in this video I also own one bunny 1/4 scale figure from FREEing. I just couldn't resist, it was one of those not too much sexy but very cute figures. 😅
Do they package their items well and try to protect them? I’m think about getting zero two but I would like some insight on their packaging quality
@@Castforever46 yes
Figurine collectors: "Figures are so damn expensive!"
Mecha fans: "First time?"
BearBrick collectors: "First time?"
Statue collectors: "First time?"
Keyboard Collector: First time?
Warhammer Players: You too?
BJD collectors: First time?
Hot Toys/ThreeA collectors : first time?
bear bricks is just plain stupid i respect it but lookks fugly for its price
great video! just one more thing for Alter: even if it's common in the industry, Alter is especially infamous for delays (but the result is so worth it, the figures are insane)
L A T E R
Maybe I was just unlucky with my first Alter Figure?
Cause my Purple Heart 1/7 Scale, has been giving me tons of problems.
Had to super glue diamond piece on her hip processor, had to super glue peg on ankle processor,
widened hole on head cause head piece wouldn't fit, now hole is too big, and now I have to super glue peg on head piece!
THANK YOUUUU!!! I’m been trying to find out which manufactures are good since they all have such varying qualities. And then I stumbled upon your channel and I’ve been coming back since, you’ve got a new subscriber LOL
As a big shonen fan, Megahouse is an absolute must and most of my figures are from Megahouse! They make really cool figures, and they always have such cool outfit sculpts and overall paint jobs! I'm glad they made a lot of Gintama figures, too, since it's my favorite series, although some of their aftermarket prices can be quite a bit higher than their OG prices, such as the Tsukuyo I have
Some of the figures I own from them are absolutely stunning pieces of art, such as the P.O.P. Wa-Maximum Ashura Zoro and Precious G.E.M. Kakashi
You're so adorable! Thanks for making a figure collecting channel and sharing your collection. Content like this helps out newbies a lot. Inb4 Simp
I appreciate Kotobukiya, I've been really impressed with their variety and quality. The effort they put into their bases is pretty special. +1 for the AoT re-releases!
Would you ever collect one of the eStream SSF figures?
I really want to collect the K-On! Alter set...
Just saw your channel and your content is awesome! I’ve started collecting funko pops a few months ago and now looking into collecting figures.
Your channel will be a big help for someone who’s just starting like me.
I have what I thought was an odd fascination with figures. Glad to see so many other people share the interest in them. Great vid.
Thank you. That was a nice quick guide. Trying to expand my figure collection, so this helps a lot
Thanks for the video. Great info! I've collected a lot of figures too, but I never really compared between different companies systematically.
The first companies I know of were Bandai, Banpresto and ofc GoodSmile Company. I think GSC stands out thanks to their famous nendroids.
I am an animefan for a long time, but recently got into scale figures. I gotta say I do love Kotobukiya (tho I agree on their weird faces 😅).
Thank you so much for this video!! Very helpful!
As of right now, I strictly only collect nendoroids but I'm so tempted to dip my toe into the world of scale figures
start with the Pop Up Parade GoodSmile line, I think it's great to get before you get into scale figures!!
This was so helpful! I also was hesitant on the Yuji figure from Kotobukiya the face wasn’t doing it for me, so I decided to buy the Megahouse figure of him instead. I always enjoy your videos! :)
Thank you! The Megahouse one looks super good!
Thank you very much, I appreciated your video a lot, it's informative and can help choose among the different companies! I agree with you about the bare leg figures, I bought Utaha 1/4 scale by Freeing because she was a lot cheaper... today I bought instead Kurisu Makise with the fishnets, I think they are better!
this has been really great! I've been collecting for years, but I've mostly stuck to Nendoroids because of space and price. But I've been wanting to branch out so I'm glad I found this :)
Have you bought from Goodsmileus before?
Awesome video, super informative. Agreed about the bare legs versions but I *did* just get the Momo you mentioned. Looking forward to more videos from you, you're doing great.
Konnichiwa Gwyn!
I found you through an avid recommendation by Daijoububu uwu
Your channel is so welcoming and the content you make is interesting to me, I enjoy watching them :D
I love how you went in depth about the pros and cons of each figure making company you've mentioned in this video.
Its very insightful and informative for anime collectors around the world and newer ones coming into the figure collecting hobby
Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make this kind of educational video, kudos to u >w<
I'm pretty new to figure collecting myself, as I myself started collecting in late Jan of this year. I have little knowledge about figure collecting and the intricacies of figure making companies, retail/aftermarket prices, etc etc.
Watching someone more experienced than me in figure collecting is so incredible, like you're passing down seeds of wisdom and are so full of knowledge of the figure collecting world.
I'm honestly glad that figure collecting youtube channels like yours exist since I don't have anyone to talk to about figure collecting in rl xD
After watching this video of yours, it was pretty well done and you were straight to the point!
One thing I'd like to share about the company Myethos is that their company aims to produce figures from a lesser known series, as mentioned by the founder himself, Light.
You can find the full interview here on thegloriablog where the interviewer asks the founder of Myethos some questions about their company among other intereting tibids. theglorioblog.com/2015/12/30/a-very-glorio-2015-timmys-myethos-interview/
While I do agree that it can be difficult to buy Myetho's figures, if its of help to you, I did lots of digging and found some websites that have their figures up for pre-order, such as the latest 1/7 Shaohua Miku. I didn't take down all the sites that have the Miku on pre-order, but I ordered mine from a website called SugoToys based in Australia ^w^
sugotoys.com.au/product/myethos-studio-hatsune-miku-chinese-style/
I really hope you can get your hands on the Myethos Miku figure, she's so gorgeous and definitely worth the price! She'd be a stunning addition to any figure collection owo
Again, thanks so much for making videos on figure collecting. I really appreciate them and can see your passion in making these kinds of videos.
It makes me happy seeing people make content that they love with so much care and hard work.
You've earned yourself a new subscriber :>
I can't wait to see your channel and your audience grow, you deserve lots more subs!!
Thank you for this I’m just starting to collect them very helpful thank you 😊
100% agreed with you! You can never go wrong with Alter figures. They always deliver high quality. Also, thanks for another great video! It's so much fun to follow the growth of both your channel/videos and your collection :)
I had to use a proxy service I’ve never used before for the Myethos Miku and until that figure is in my hand I’m scared it’ll fall through 😭😂 Great video!!
Ya I just saw some pictures of the 2233 Myethos figurees coming out and I want them but I'm not sure if I'm willing to go the proxie route ugh
I love Good Smile figures, I have the Sakura Miku nendoroid and she's stunning, but since they are a bit pricy for my very tight budget I love buying from Taito and Banpresto ^^
Most of my figures are made by Kotobukiya (Star Wars, Pokemon, Marvel, etc). Overall a great company.
Hi. Im new to this sort of collection hobby, so this was a fairly great video to watch. My main charater target is the show Kantai Collection, and I noticed that one of the brands that make the figures from that show is one of the positive brands you mentioned.
Im not from the US, so buying a figure will be a very expensive thing, so therefore I want the most bang for buck and I feel like this helped me get a better idea of what brands to look out for.
What would you choose as a first figure? The poseble ones or the non poseble ones?
Any advice would be great to hear!
After collecting for a long time, Alter has always been my fav.
this was a great video, well done~!
Really think this was nice and informative for newer collectors! ♥️
I’d also agree re: the bunny figures, the Aqua one was way too expensive so I went with bare leg just to be able to get her. Feels bad.
Though I kept being distracted by your ring light showing up in your glasses 😂
I know I'm sorry about the ring light, it was getting dark while I filmed so I put it on but next time I'll definitely avoid it!
Edit: Even though tights may be preferred the Bare legged Aqua is still a gorgeous figure! I definitely would have gone for the bare legged if I was looking for her now just because it's so much cheaper than aftermarket.
@@GwynCollects Haha no it's definitely no problem at all, it just made laugh a little :)
Yeah and honestly given how Aqua constantly shows her ass off I think it fits her that way haha.
Very informative video! Found some FOTS figures at tempting prices on a Canadian site but now I don'y know if I should pull the trigger....
FYI there's an Ikumi that I have that goes with the Erina, though she's by max factory but essentially same company. It's Called Ikumi General meat version, and she's like 2 in 1 figure because she has two upper bodies options.
I tend to buy based on series. Looking at my collection its mostly MH & Koto. I do have a few random Alter, GSC, and Max Factory figs that I luv.
I've been really getting into the Bandai Spirits FiguartsZERO line.
Most are in the range of $50 - $100.
A bunch of figures in this line have dynamic poses and effects. I'm a sucker for both. I'm glad they don't come out too too often otherwise my wallet would cry.
The good smile pop up parade line is pretty solid. Only 1 out of the plethora of pop up parade I've purchased have been disappointing.
I have so many banpresto figures from when I first started and wanted to buy cheaper figures. I wish I had purchased a few expensive-ish figures rather than a bunch of banpresto that I don't even display any more. Ah, regrets.
My favorite is ALTER they have the best hair and coloring! Really elegant and delicately made
great video, would love to see more knowledge-type videos!
Thanks! They're fun to make so I'm definitely planning on doing more
myethos actually does really well with non Japanese anime fig sales. there is a big market for them out there. its not even a con unless you have something against Chinese media lol
I just got into collecting and found your videos! theyre super helpful! :3 really excited to see more of your collection x3 dropped a follow on your insta!
My friend and I decided to try collecting up on a few figures after this vid - Thanks for the info!
Welcome to the hobby!
Thank's for a very nice review. I can't wait for the arrival of AKA Re2ing (Magic Mould, a Good Smile Company Group).Recently, a new Co. Shibuya Scramble Figure is in topic in Japan (maybe because this Co. is promoting AD very much).Price is expensive but it seems to be very beautiful/high quality (however, it doesn't suit my taste since I feel...too healthy or peaceful, less charm, only in my opinion...).
I only own 2 figures from FOTS 1/8 Tohru (Miss Kobayashi Dragon Maid) and 1/8 Kirie Sakurame (UQ Holder), The Tohru arrived no problems at all but the Kirie Sakurame had a flower on her hat that was broke cleanly off. The Tohru on par with sculpt and paint job compared my other scale figures. The Kirie Sakurame appears to be 3d printed and has a okay paint job. I was fine with the Kirie Sakurame cause I got her for 1/3 price on discount on a US based figure site and was willing take the chance for her being broken. She is my fav character from that anime and the only figure I know of for that series.
Loved the video! So far, I mainly own some Banpresto prize figures and a few nendroids. I'm hoping to find a scale figure that catches my eye soon! 😄
you better watch out for your wallet because once you go for scale figures, you can't never go back and it's kind of addicting so again, be thoughtful on that.
Tuấn Đặng I can attest to this. I started only with Banpresto and Sega figures of Kimetsu no yaiba until I came across Kotobukiya's KNY figures that I decided to get. And now I jumped in the rabbit hole of getting scale figures from other animes that is making me broke 😅
@@tuanang7889 fax. My first scale fig is emilia from kotobukiya and the quality is definitely better than the prize figs I have. My 2nd scale fig is the mai kimono figure which is very detailed.
Beautiful collection 😍
I agree with your finale con for GoodSmile. I ordered a Hanako Nendoroid Doll in November 2022 and yet it's release date isn't until November of 2023!!!!
I know I got the Akari figure all I want is a Hina, Momo, and Rei is that too much to ask for lol. I also would never buy from FOTS. I'm hoping when season 2 of Miss Kobayashi comes out a lot of the better companies will make figures. Love your videos
Most of my figures were/ are kotobukiya so I can say there were problems with the quality with the old releases (2011 and 2013 figures i owned were a mess) but I don't see any issues with the fresh releases, all of my kotos starting with 2017 are really fine quality. Also I think faces are also really good, maybe I'm just lucky with the characters they make 🙂
Kotobukiya are usually good at character faces, they're one of the good ones who nails the likeness of the characters although really sometimes the poses are just plain.
I did a quick search on MFC, and my only gripe with Taito figures, is the majority
tends to be Miku, Rem and Mai, as well as no male figures.
I'm also a female collector (just started) and I just got my first male figure: the ArtFX Mitsutada from Touken Ranbu. I'm still waiting for him, so I hope I made a good decision. 😭 I don't mind the girls (I love the Idolmaster ones) but being a girl myself I'll have to check out Kotobukiya so I can get another guy. (ArtFX is one of their lines, right?) I mostly stick to prize figures because of cost, but I can barely find male ones.;_;
It was very hepful, thank you so much
Kotobukiya 1/6 scales are really fairly priced. I recently bought one of Rei and it was like 80€ (114 starting price), which for 1/6 I think it’s an amazing price.
Woah, really?! Ok, brb gonna go buy some Kotobukiya stuff
I know they aren't super cheap but first4figures are stunning both their hard resin and new PVC line. I love that their exclusive edition are the same price as the normal one if you buy at pre-order. Love how they do light effect for most of their resin figures
*Edit* they are pricey as hell.
Spitting straight facts about the bare legs bunnies 😤😤😤 You should check out Stronger too - they make some beautiful figures especially kimono figs!
I love the stronger Miku kimono figure! Also thanks aha why don't they just rerelease the tights ver 😭
The ring light reflecting on your glasses was freaking me out at first because I didn't know what it was lol
I agree. They are a GoodSmell Company. Always smells good out of the bos for sure!
Awesome video !
I like it when they put up pre orders well in advance, it removes a lot of the possibility of damaging impulse buying, you have pretty much a full year to properly decide on if you actualy want the thing or if you change your mind yu can cancel, it also gives you plenty of time to set asside the money for it and save in increments rather than just casualy dropping hundreds in one go you can set aside £15 a month for it without any guilt.
Honestly it is such a pro for me, its not like they are gonna release it any sooner either way so its cool that they are letting you know in advance and not relying on FOMO tactics to try and make you panic.
I agree with your Taito review. Prices are cheaper than banpresto but with better quality.
My favorite are: Banpresto,Good Smile Company andbTaito
Have you tried getting some figures from megahouse? They produce high quality figures as well. Their Yuji Itadori that's now on preorder looks good especially the face compared to the one from kotobukiya.
in term of face model and details among japanese brands, Megahouse is considered doing the best job so far, their paint job is really nice as well. But lately they've been asking for ridiculously expensive price range when we talk about cost and value. I cut them out of my list like late 2019 when they start asking for 500$ for a pvc/abs plastic figurine. With that price i can buy a resin statue which have way higher level of detail and quality, much bigger, come along with better diorama.
I got my very first Kotobukiya of Yukino Yukinoshita 1/8 scale figure and Good Smile Company of Takina Inoue 1/7 scale figure.
Kotobukiya has good poses and attention to detail in most cases. But I agree with you about the face issue. Their Rage of Bahamut characters have outrageous detail. The DC/Marvel Bishoujo are 'good' but the US licensing won't allow more cute poses. I like the MCU and The ArtFX Iron Man, Marvel, Star Wars are great. For the price, Koto is a great value if you are interested in the cross licensed product.
Alter has some great figures, but I can not justify the price for a Flandre Scarlet for example. You certainly have a lot of good assessment of figure manufacturers.
Bandai Robot Spirits line is quite good quality, but there are notable exceptions. As always, check reviews of the figure you are interested in. You can always buy relatively inexpensive Bandai Gundam Universe action figures, they are along the lines of Robot Spirits but with less articulation and less offerings at this moment. As for other manufacturers, sometimes a company that otherwise rates lower may offer a subjectively better version of the same figure than one with an overall higher quality index. You may have a preference for a particular type of manufacturing process and/or have budget constraints-for example, buying an action figure or purchasing a higher-priced model kit of the same character and vise versa.
i just started collecting figures (a lotttt of nendroids lol), and this video definitely helped me. i’ll start buying other figures instead of just nendroids!
I'm glad I could give some guidance! Nendoroids are awesome!
Stronger makes really good figures too. Their type moon racing scale figures are *chefs kiss*
also you're right kotobukiya isnt consistent. benimaru's face looks really off when it was actually released. tho i think they fixed yuji's face and also its effect which is nice
11:22 , the way they made a Daisuke Kambe Nendoroid and completely neglected Haru Kato 😪😪
Seriously..how could they not release them together! D: -sobs-
@@tranqkill they simply lack taste I guess 😪
i hate the bonus parts since i cant order it im in the ph and cant deal with the shipping and yeah youre right some bonus parts are really necesarry faceplates too like shinra's and arthur
Well, that's quite an honest review and comprehensive enough. It is a pity that no popup shows a typical figure that reflects the general impression of the manufacturer.
Thanks! I agree, I'll add that in next time!
@@GwynCollects You're welcome. :)
Awesome informative video! Are you going to do a part 2 someday? (if so I would love to have a section about Phat! )
I think I will! I'll definitely talk about Phat!
i think gsc makes pre orders so far in advance because they do it with the airing shows and people are really invested into the show while theyre watching it so theyre most likley to buy the figures while theyre on that hype on a certain show
I was sold when u said face makes or breaks it - super agree
Alter is my favourite.most of my figs are form alter and theyre all amazing
i also love nenferoids
Hi 👋 I got a question again hehe. I saw that you have a Dazai figure from (Bungo Stray Dog ) and I am wondering that does sold out figures and nendroids be restock again ?
As I am new to this anime figure things and your tutorial has really help me a lot. I plan to buy those figure in the future cause the currency is so freaking expensive like $100= RM 423.25
Not sure if your a fire emblem fan. But good smile will be making Ike and Marth 1/6 scale figures. I know that Camilla was technically intelligent systems. Checking the info for Ike it says manufactured by intelligent systems, distributed by Good Smile.
I'm a big fan of good smile I got my first build figure from them and the pop up parade I love I have like 3 of theirs
what is your opinion on max factory and kaiyodo? i have figures from both companies and i didnt hear u mention them :0
the Mytheos proxy thing, do you know if Play Asia has stocked those figures before ? they are usually pretty good when it comes to imports, I imported a die cast, although and its a big one, they took my order but couldnt fulfill it, so. . . .I mean I still wanted it, so I had to pay extra for them to be able to get my order ready, it really bummed me out but it's like . . .part of a set, so I guess I'm happy but yeah it succked having to pay even more because they took too many orders
hi hi, i’m just a random commenter, you don’t have to listen to me, you keep doing you, BUT personally, i would’ve liked to see photos or footage of each individual figure you referenced back to when talking about the pros and cons of each manufacturer. i’m not familiar with a lot of the figures you talked about and it would’ve been nice to have an image in mind lol.
other than that, i really enjoy your videos.
Hi! I totally agree with this so I made sure to add photos in my second video about manufacturers!
This video is a year old, but I think going forward it would be cool to give us some picture examples or footage of your figures so we can follow along better. Keep up the good work
i really like cheap figures and we have renesanse of them, taito, banpresto, sega, furyu in my country 30$ is 1 day of work so I really appreciate these prices
I feel like Alter only makes figures of a few series and characters. So far i haven't found any Alter figures of some of my favorite series and characters. Like Re:Zero, Madoka, Attack on Titan, Steins:Gate (barely any figures in general and the few are all Kirusu Makise). Was about to mention Violet Evergarden but there's sadly no figure of her by any company.
So what I've noticed with goodsmile and their preorder is that yeah they do it like a year in advance but you don't get charged so you can cancel it whenever. I'm still new to collecting so I don't know if that's the same for everything but when I just bought a mytheos figure on another site for preorder in Sept I was already charged. So iono how preorders work for other sites but I thought goodsmile not charging until shipment was cool
What do you guys think about Furyu F:Nex? I recently pre ordered both JJK Satoru Gojo unlimited curses figure and the mappa showcase 1/7 scale from furyu and would like to know if they are a good brand for scale figures since its my first time purchasing scales. Thank you very much ☺️
I just wish someone would make Gridman DX stuff in the scale of the 1993 stuff. I loved that toyline to bits as a kid (even tho the USA version of the show was trash), and was lucky enough to find a complete set of them on eBay recently for a good price...but there's only three DX releases, and one of them is the base figure that the others break down and attach to. All the Gridman stuff nowadays looks to be from Good Smile or some other obscure company and the scale on them is TINY, with a price that is unreal compared to the size. Maybe some day.
Hmm I'm wondering whether to keep sega's kirito lmp figure and the goods smile company's pop up parade, please help me choose
I am with you on the barelegs. I don't like them, only the Jibril one. I hope for more fishnet version re releases
How about the after sales service? Im only familiar with good smile company, they usually entertain complaints well and provide replacement if you have issue with the figure.
This is actually a very good point to bring up! I thankfully haven't had any issues so i don't have much experience with after sales service but I have heard good things about GSC and the brands they sell
I hope I can buy an Alter figure down the road 😅
I love collecting tamashii nations figartszero. Even though the new assume I got had a bit of a weird face.
Like your videos. Awesome!
Any thoughts on Wonderful Hobby Selection / Max Factory?
12:08 My Xenoblade figures are due out in October/November 2022 lol.
I always buy the Nendoroid's from GoodSmile, since I like their Chibi Style of the Characters from like Demon Slayer, Vocaloid etc.
But my problem with them is how inconsistent they release some Characters.
Like with Kasane Teto AI, they were really fast to release a Nendoroid of her. But if we talk about Vocaloids, some of them never got a Nendoroid to begin with or got it very late. Like if we talk about Hatsune Miku for example, she has many versions. The one Version were they were fast was NT only taking one to two years until releasing her. With V4X, it took four years to release her Nendoroid Version and now with V3 officially getting a Nendoroid of her own, it took them literal ten years for that. And V3 was released in 2013 and has been retired since then. While other like Luka V4X or Gumi V4 never got a Nendoroid to begin with. That's what's bugging me with GS. With Doki Doki Literature Club they were consistent this time, but they still are inconsistent with some other figure series. But other than that, I love their figures
i wish i saw this sooner, just bought a milim figure from FOTS and her top hair piece was broken off 😭 and i paid good money for it too, really saddening, lucky i was able to super glue it and it looks natural but will never buy from them again 😤
About to buy a Fots Japan figure, wish me luck.
i really like some bareleg more than figs with stockings, examples are CC, jibril, shiro, koneko, lucifer. i like them more bareleg.
Not mentioned in the video but pulchra (I think that's how it's spelt) also produce extremely bad figures. They almost never look like the promo pictures and are made of brittle material so break easily. I was going to buy the pulchra Ram figure but I read up on the company and there were so many stories of figures arriving broken or breaking after only a few months
