I like the emilia holding small emilia from s-fire. It's cute, playful, and makes a bit of sense if you watched the show (although not a canon interaction). And at least it's based off of an official illustration 😌
About the Quintessential Quintuplets figures: I didn't want any more of them, but then (I dont remember what company) announced the Date version ones or whatever they're called and theyre realllyyy nice. Very well sculpted and painted, and really nice streetwear. Otherwise I don't want any more, I don't think the wedding dress ones even look good
I'm pretty surprised that Ponycanyon's gotten into the scale figure game. I've bought from them before, but just bromides & CDs. They're mostly a music focused company in my mind so to see them branch into scale figures is pretty interesting
Every time I’m like, “I can’t buy this figure or that figure, because I need to save.” And then go eat out and end up regretting it because it could have just gone towards a figure. lol
great video! just wanted to mention the “china dress” you talk about is called a qipao or qi for short (pronounced key) for future videos it would be better if you said qi instead of china dress as its a bit offensive! i love your content tho i just wanted to mention this 💖🌸
Please watch Uma Musume!! It’s so cute, it’s my fave show I’ve seen recently. You’ll only need the first season to see Special Week’s story (the girl from the figure )
I think you severely underestimate the quintessential quintuplets fans xD most people i know and seen online buy each set of the 5 that release rather than buying just one of the girls. You should see the collections of some people its insane lol
The Kanade Yoisaki was way too lewd! What the heck is CA Works trying to be CP Works or something? Anyway,… thanks for the vids. I just found your channel yesterday and love it.
I told myself "Save your money for the V-tuber scale figures" and I've done pretty well so far, I haven't given into temptation yet... but then I saw that wholesome figure of Kanade wedding dress (Angel Beats)... man... I might just have to if the finish product looks really nice!! Shigurei Ui is a well known artist, She designed Subaru (from Hololive) who has a cute tomboy aesthetic & eventually became a well beloved V-tuber herself. She's been able to even stream with Subaru on several occasions. In the V-tuber world, it's genuinely wonderful news that Shigurei has gotten her own figure!! Especially when you consider she's independent & not apart of any agency (eg Nijisanji). When I look at some of my much older figures, the price has certainly gone up since then, but by golly figure quality has become down right amazing!!
Pony Canyon (not cannon) is the label that the Jrock group BAND-MAID is signed to. I think they are just getting into producing their own anime and figures. BAND-MAID's latest video for their song "Unleashed!!!!" is partly in anime and animated by the Pony Canyon animators. It's pretty cool. You should check it out. With any luck, they'll produce figures of all the members. 😄
Thanks for the vid! Koyanskaya aka Tamamo-vich (2:28), has a significant role in next year's (Global version) FGO arc. She is also obtainable next year in the gacha; no spoilers in this comment so apologies for the vagueness.
I'm definitely getting that angel beats one. I love art focusing on nudity but applying leafs, sunrays, transparent tubes and whatever to actually make the end result suitable for a regular manga.
Your reaction for swimsuit Kanade is the same reaction that everyone else has had for it. No one wanted it. Honestly more disappointed that they didn't show the prototype for wedding dress Kanade, as it was announced a while ago.
Chiyoko's a really cute character! She's from Idolm@ster Shiny Colors, a mobile game. Her nickname's 'Choco,' which is adorable. You can probably guess what her favorite food is, so the halloween theme really suits her.
At this point I don't even need to guess which figures you'll showcase because they're the exact ones I loved or hated lmao. I am looking at my remaining amiami orders for 2022/2023 and contemplating canceling a bunch of impulse preorders to make room for the hundred I need to get after these last announcements 😅
I didnt *ask* for the Rem/Ram/Emilia set, but we don't get sets with all 3 of them very often, so I might pick them up. Actually I think the only sets that has all 3 matching of them is the Music series that was I think EStream so very expensive and not my taste, and the chinese wedding dress ones which are super not my taste.
I can already see that Alter 1/7 scale Schwarz from Arknights potentially breaking my wallet. Such a beautiful sculpt and paint job. Honestly love to hear your takes and opinions on these, especially regarding certain brand's reputation or quality, keep it up! 💖
I love how organised and well presented your videos are! I can feel the passion in your voice everytime you describe a figure. It's love right ^_^ I have sent you an email that you may find of interest. Really hoping to hear back! Keep making quality videos and I will keep watching as a fan for sure! Your vibe is something I am trying hard to capture and present, because it is inspirational!
As konosuba aqua fan the racing ones were a big hype for me and then when i saw the prototype i was so sad to see they slimmed down aquas waist i absolutely loved the og art for that non curve torso for once 😭
It's perfectly fine if you don't like a figure, but I can definitely see how the ones you said no one wanted will sell. Maybe they won't be bangers that sellout within minutes, but I can definitely see people buying them.
The Alter Schwarz Arknights figure and Wings Inc Suiu-Swav illustration will be mine. My wallet will just have to concede 🥲 also really loving the Radio Eva non-colored version, which is what I’ll be preordering ☺️
I’m most excited for the Given nendos, the Komi 1/4 bunny, Kaworu radio Eva v2 in colour, the Mari in Colour and the No 6 nendos!! Also the Sk8 nendos haha 🥰
Omg.... There's so much to look at! The figure from the artist SWAV might just be my favourite honestly, I've got the other one on pre-order (It literally just got delayed again the other day, but one day... one day we'll get it) and I'm excited to pair them up! I can't believe the Schwarz figure was a real picture 😮 The JJK eStream figures had to be the biggest disappointment here, they both looked pretty bad coloured as you said :(
Neonmax really crushed it for me. I basically want all of the figures they announced 😅 I'm also really excited for the Non bunny from Freeing. Love the anubis style and probably an instant po for me, rip my wallet.
I was the most excited for the Twin Turbo scale (Uma Musume) but Sonico Suba stole some of her thunder. Edit: Friendly ribbing, "Oh my god, Eva and Fate figures!......Don't we have enough Quintessential Quints figures???" ............lol, another great video! Thank you!
Ones I'm interested in to some extend: The summer Abigail. I want a foreigner, I've most classes now, just missing foreigner, moon cancer and pretender(well, berserker, shielder and ruler are in transit). Of the foreigners, I like Abigail the most. And for that, I want one with lots of tentacles. Unfortunately none released thus far had any and... honestly I'm somewhat uncomfortable with the state of dress of regular Abigail at stage 3(I only realized this when someone else pointed it out... I was only ever looking at the tentacles before that), which is the stage I need for tentacles. So... this might be my best chance. Probably not gonna get a moon cancer any time soon because I hate Kiara and don't care much for Sakura. But... there might be hope for the new Arcueid. As for pretender, I'm certainly not getting an Oberon. But it seems there are new pretender on the roster, Lady Avalon looks nice. The Albedo&Shalltear pair. Overlord is pretty awesome. While I already have an Albedo, I do intend to pick up a Shalltear at some point and this is an interesting one. And finally, the Milim. This one is already up for PO and I'm debating quite a bit. It is on the expensive side but it looks so very nice.
I was scared when I clicked play just now as despite having gone through the list myself that crazy weekend (yup, props to Ruru_MoePop!), because your reviews can potentially make me pick up things that I missed. You are right about too many quints out there (mine are the PuP set and a prize set of them in pajamas lol - and I’m already happy with these… 10 figures). Personally I am already happy w/ my RADIO EVA preorders (incl the rereleases) of Rei and Asuka - so, I’m not too bothered w/ the new ones. My current likes for 2023 are BINDing (other than preordering Mami today to complete the Kanokari 4)… but I really have to choose wisely with them going for 39K a pop (Native store doesn’t deliver to the UK for some weird reason!). Looking forward to your next catch!
Thanks for the video and your input! I love knowing other people's opinions like this. I know from what you anticipate figure wise may sometimes different than mine or it may be the same! However, I think it just goes to show that there's always a little bit of awesome for everyone who enjoys this hobby!
I've heard about Pony canyon 1000s of times if you ever look up the licencer for anime music it feels like its them 9/10 times, never new they made figures though, thats an odd change of business.
alright hold on a minute... while i agree that the Holo and Raftalia china dress figures are not spectacular, i don't agree with the 'not every character has to have a china dress' statement. While some of you collectors enjoy bunny outfits (which also have no context to the original plot or character), others may enjoy them in china dress. Are china dress and bunny outfits overdone? yes. Should companies keep making them though? probably yes.
Why can't anyone just make a normal Dragon Maid figure for literally any of them (I know Tohru and Kanna have a maid set that is normal). I know, the show leans a lot to lewd directions, but I doubt anyone wants the figures to always go in that direction. Maybe just my opinion in the end. I really just want a normal Elma figure that isn't obnoxious with the body ratio and keeps it accurate and is just keeping the lewdness at bay, but I doubt it'll happen.
I’ll tell you what, Mimeyoi needs to chill out with these race queen figures. I already preordered Taihou, now I need to preorder Zuikaku? My wallet is actively sobbing please excuse me while I go console it
So many figures are ruined for me when the boobs are ridiculously huge. Or the pose too lewd. 😭 I love a lot of bunny figures so I don't mind figures being a bit sexy. But some cross the line into pornographic. Ive seen some figures that are downright disturbing! There can never be too many Ryza figures imo. She has such a cute happy face. I love her fang too. There are so many figures of her coming out the next year or so. Miku and Ryza are my fave girls. Miku doesn't get sexualised as much as other characters fortunately!
These gacha game characters and OCs really do rule the scene, and I do love to see it. They already announced two Mio(Xenoblade 3) figures, which is kinda crazy given how recent that came out. I'm not too interested in XC3 figures honestly, most of the designs are a bit "safe" after XC2's more fun designs. I'm still waiting on Brighid from 2, but I suppose that's never happening.
@Daijoububu love your vids but i had to chime in here. as yuki has commented, it is better not use the term "China dress" on any new videos you make. please educate yourself on it. in fact, let me help you. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheongsam i hope as a youtube creator that you read this comment and fully educate yourself in this manner when you talk about it in your future videos [also, this is not an attack on you but informing you.]. also, i understand that you don't like it but it caters to audiences that likes it. same like the bunnies, nekos, and whatever else floats their boats. if they make it, it'll sell. it's the niche in collecting.
Wallet going oof.
“she’s getting too many figures” and then talks about fate 💀 LOL i love all the new announcements though i’m super excited for so many of them!
I'm excited about the Vampire Miku Pop Up Parade! I'm very curious about how they're gonna color her
I like the emilia holding small emilia from s-fire. It's cute, playful, and makes a bit of sense if you watched the show (although not a canon interaction). And at least it's based off of an official illustration 😌
About the Quintessential Quintuplets figures: I didn't want any more of them, but then (I dont remember what company) announced the Date version ones or whatever they're called and theyre realllyyy nice. Very well sculpted and painted, and really nice streetwear. Otherwise I don't want any more, I don't think the wedding dress ones even look good
Radio Eva is making a 3rd line, my wallet is crying. also can we get a misato???
I'm pretty surprised that Ponycanyon's gotten into the scale figure game. I've bought from them before, but just bromides & CDs. They're mostly a music focused company in my mind so to see them branch into scale figures is pretty interesting
I’m a beginner collector and I’m just so happy I run into your channel! You explain and go through so many things! Thank you🙏
Every time I’m like, “I can’t buy this figure or that figure, because I need to save.” And then go eat out and end up regretting it because it could have just gone towards a figure. lol
great video! just wanted to mention the “china dress” you talk about is called a qipao or qi for short (pronounced key) for future videos it would be better if you said qi instead of china dress as its a bit offensive! i love your content tho i just wanted to mention this 💖🌸
Thank you for the video, the black swan figure totally went under my radar and it's a MUST have!
Please watch Uma Musume!! It’s so cute, it’s my fave show I’ve seen recently. You’ll only need the first season to see Special Week’s story (the girl from the figure )
I think you severely
underestimate the quintessential quintuplets fans xD most people i know and seen online buy each set of the 5 that release rather than buying just one of the girls. You should see the collections of some people its insane lol
The Kanade Yoisaki was way too lewd! What the heck is CA Works trying to be CP Works or something? Anyway,… thanks for the vids. I just found your channel yesterday and love it.

swav line up could be amazing, new to the oc side of collecting but i am excited

Miku Za Warudo scale lookin pretty good
my wallet is crying lol 😓 will you be doing a room tour soon? It looks so pretty from the bg of your videos I'd love to see more of it!!😍

This announcement is from Smile Fest but I am so happy that Max Factory is doing an Arcueid Brunestud, especially in her Archetype Earth version. 🙏🙏🙏
19:00 That ugly thing looks like an anime version of the Venus of Willendorf.
I love how organised and well presented your videos are! I can feel the passion in your voice everytime you describe a figure. It's love right ^_^ I have sent you an email that you may find of interest. Really hoping to hear back! Keep making quality videos and I will keep watching as a fan for sure!

As a One Piece collector, the Big Mom Portrait of Pirates Maximum unpainted prototype has me so pumped. Been hoping for a figure of her forever.
As konosuba aqua fan the racing ones were a big hype for me and then when i saw the prototype i was so sad to see they slimmed down aquas waist i absolutely loved the og art for that non curve torso for once 😭
23:15 the figure looks beautiful
Me : how do you do your legs like that lmao
Love the video and keep up the great work
Thank you for your thoughts 💭
lovely! I was excited to hear your opinions on them hailey

100% hot that china dress holo, i love it SO MUCH
Waiting for that Kaworu so be on preorder :O His smug face is perfect!
Omg.... There's so much to look at! The figure from the artist SWAV might just be my favourite honestly, I've got the other one on pre-order (It literally just got delayed again the other day, but one day... one day we'll get it) and I'm excited to pair them up! I can't believe the Schwarz figure was a real picture 😮

I am so happy to finally see a Destiny Child figure. There are some great character designs in that game.
Love being informed of what's hot and what's not and whats on the way. I got the Asuka figure, ya, she's great; got her on Amazon.
I was the most excited for the Twin Turbo scale (Uma Musume) but Sonico Suba stole some of her thunder.
Edit: Friendly ribbing, "Oh my god, Eva and Fate figures!......Don't we have enough Quintessential Quints figures???" ............lol, another great video! Thank you!

I’ve always wanted to get a ruka sarashina figure and a Kanade tachibana figure
I’m personally still very excited for ZB26, even more so with the coloured ver out on preview
as a fellow Oz collector, I've been wanting to ask if you have gotten any rotating display stands and if you'd recommend any specific ones?
While I didnt ask for it I will def get that Rem holding a small Rem (as long as it doesnt cost an arm and a leg)
I would love to see a release at the least of Miia from Monster Musume and a Rachnera figure. The Noshiro figure is my favorite out the ones shown.
There's so many QuinQuin figures that the prize figures survive the AmiAmi pre-owned rushes lol
loving your vids sm!!!!! keep up the great work :D
Your reactions when things got juicy 😂 i laughed along
I'm still trying to financially recover from radio eva 2 (not even fully out yet) and they announced a 3rd line?? aaa
I can’t wait for saber Nero

Ive used 1k usd on figures this month.... my wallet isnt crying anymore... its literally dead💀
Me: Dam that those Re Zero figures are so adorable!
Her: Meh. Did anyone asked for these?
Me: Just kidding *sweating profusely*
i really want that kunoichi by matarou
Thanks for the video and your input! I love knowing other people's opinions like this. I know from what you anticipate figure wise may sometimes different than mine or it may be the same! However, I think it just goes to show that there's always a little bit of awesome for everyone who enjoys this hobby!
Gilgamesh is my fav, but my wallet is bleeding 🥲
Thank you for the video! I'd love to know: what's your opinion about Tohru bunny?
I've heard about Pony canyon 1000s of times if you ever look up the licencer for anime music it feels like its them 9/10 times, never new they made figures though, thats an odd change of business.
All the shade thrown at Union creative and i've had nothing but good experiances with their figures that I've owned. just lucky I guess
"I love women with orbs"
ah, i see you're a woman of culture. (Tips hat).
What website do you keep up with new figure announcentments?
king miku would be the bomb
alright hold on a minute... while i agree that the Holo and Raftalia china dress figures are not spectacular, i don't agree with the 'not every character has to have a china dress' statement.

The Kurisu figure thooooo
I was waiting to see if you'd shout out a Tohru figure, I noticed one in the background of Danielle and Gwyn's video.
Yeah, that's...not great...
I was going to get Shimakaze but I am not willing to pay an extra 16k yen for a chair.
Ill stick with my 90cm Akanes. Best figures ever.
Same here 😊😊😊 my wallet is crying
I am getting both Wakamo from Neomax and Saki from Inbina
instant preordered schwarz. gluck my wallet lol
Bruh the one at 11:15
anybody know where I can get that radio mari......?
Why can't anyone just make a normal Dragon Maid figure for literally any of them (I know Tohru and Kanna have a maid set that is normal).

Woah look at u . Ur as pretty as anime girls
Yoooo, I'm early! 1 minute ago dang
I’ll tell you what, Mimeyoi needs to chill out with these race queen figures. I already preordered Taihou, now I need to preorder Zuikaku? My wallet is actively sobbing please excuse me while I go console it

Hestia is bestia

Yea that tohru is gross
I'm a shameless Raita fan so I'm definitely interested
Pony canon is a big known company but I don't think they've ever done a figure before
so many good figures, not enough money 🫠
These gacha game characters and OCs really do rule the scene, and I do love to see it. They already announced two Mio(Xenoblade 3) figures, which is kinda crazy given how recent that came out.
