My question to you is how much do you think it cost to pay a painter doing a detail and artistic paint job versus a painter that do an assembly line paint job? Well, it cost more to answer the question. This is exactly what happened with Prime material when comparing now and 3 years ago. You need to understand the intrinsic value of of the work involved.
20:23 This is your opinion and it is absolutely false. It is not because you are buying a product that you are relinquishing your right to complain. As anything you purchase online, if something is damaged, broken or defect, you can ask for a credit card CHARGE BACK. I always do when any kind of problem arise, and I would have done so for your Sloan statue.
When it comes to price increase, what you don`t talk about is the subpar quality of the paint jobs that were done for units only 3 years ago in comparison with new ones. They are night and days. Just look at the new Yennefer and Sloan statue in comparison with the older ones. They are not even comparable. I am not touching at anything before 2022 from them.
Pal... do you know how much it cost for shipping a 15KG and voluminous package (80cmX80cmX50cm) with a tracking number from Canada to Japan with Canada Post? It cost around 500$, for a single box. Postal service are losing money every year around the globe because of the rising cost of shipping.
If the only thing you are pissed off is the resale value, than an edition or another statue from another studio is going to eventually bring the resale cost down since it is not as niche as it was anymore. The only thing I care about is the outcome of the work. If the paint job or the sculture job is sub-par for the asking price, then I would be pissed off.
Prime details in their statue is really night and day from 2024 and 2020. The new Yennefer statue is literally an art piece in comparison to this one. You see it in the price to since it cost the double of this one.
If only the creator wasn't shady and rude. He talked to me like I was a cop, and refused to answer me on how much one of the figures would be or share a link to purchase. Ultimately, he said if I have to ask I can't afford it or something condescending like that, so I blocked them.
Haha I could do that. Man I miss posting but work is so busy lately is really hard to find the time. I'll start again as soon as things ease up a bit. 100%
Not considering the resalevalue makes me irresponsible with my money? That's illogic. My things are not supposed to be resold. Considering selling one day as you buy them should not be on someone's mind.
You're right of course. There are some caveats to that statement that I did make in the video. If you know without a doubt that you will be keeping everything you buy forever then of course this isn't relevant, but for someone that buys/sells as many statues as I do, it's definitely important.
@@klauslehrmann3906 I did - you fall into the "I don't buy enough statues to have to worry about the resale value" category ;) - and that's fair enough. I, and many others don't fall into that category unfortunately.
It appears PostMord has stolen my package containing my Animus Ezio, and I will sue them for replacement, foreclosure, millions upon millions of currency and the 20 years-imprisonment of the offender. I AM INFURIATED!
Just started collecting transformers do u recommend any to collect seen this video love your collection or everything and do u have full review of all your transformers trying to find few that u have just don't know the names of them
I built a pc with 96 tb of games. I run it on an 83-inch oled tv. My favorite is using gun4ir with 24volt recoil in teknoparrot. Kriscoolmod makes a 2tb light gun drive already set up that plays over 550 light gun games. Teknoparrot is an emulator with games that are currently in an arcade.
Nice collection buddy, really nice.....bro i need a favor... where did you buy those spot lights that illuminate your art against the wall...thxs bro...
Thank you man! Those spotlights are actually from IKEA. I don't remember the name now, but you should be able to find them if you look in the lighting section. I believe they came in white or black.
One of the most beautiful sexiest piece i've ever seen...Sh'e's no doubt outsatnding...Have to get her eventually...honestly I ran out of space...but considering i just started collectiing only 3 months ago...already not much but i have 10 nice pieces... But 10 nice pieces...all damn expensive....all 1/4 scale...
You desire more than a like. You desire a star ⭐️ …. Since I can’t afford status, I really enjoy the collection through your channel . Thank you brother 😊😊😊
Thanks for the review, mate... It's absolutely smashing! I agree that the tattoos were unnecessary but it doesn't detract from the rest of the figure. Oddly enough it came from a guy who has tattoos - but I get it that the statue should stay true to its original looks. Cheers to a brilliant statue!
That’s more of a prostitute version than a geisha version let’s be real lol nothing apart from the Japanese influence even implies geisha. Prostitutes can wear kimono too.
Love the PCS Swimsuit Season Pass line and went ahead and pulled the trigger on their more controversial Cammy. Indeed not the best, portrait and overalls especially seemed lower quality than usual - maybe her production was lower budget / rushed? Regardless, I made a deep review of that one recently: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZPlsvszIgEk.html - I have their Chun-Li, Elena, and Menat to cover in upcoming videos. Also did a review of the TriEagles Chun-Li, looking back there are some parts that probably feel a bit over-the-top fascination from the overall scene but that Chun-Li is indeed more of some kind of multiverse non-fighter or at-least non-street fighter. Maybe I'm a sucker for the architecture actually haha and it's ironic they clearly put more effort into that than the statue itself. 🤔Perhaps most of the budget was blown on the scene so Mia's body had to be recycled. It does better as a work of art in and of itself outside of the Street Fighter context.
I just had a look at your reviews and subbed! Great work there, looking forward to more. I agree with everything above and I am also a sucker for those ornate, beautiful bases if they compliment the pose and colors well. That said, I'm really out of real estate at this point so I tend to shy away from big bases simply for that reason.
I have a self built arcade cabinet with a 48” lg oled tv with a high end comp. It get used a lot but I’ve moved to tuning my BMW suv. I have more fun in my 3.3 second SUV and whooping on sports cars.
Nice Review, sorry to hear about your bad experience. I just started getting back into final fantasy again and im thinking about preorderimg a Tifa statue only problem with these unlicensed companies is the final product alot of times doesnt look as good as the prototype shots. Any suggestions you recommend before I take the plunge into the preorder.
Yeah its always a gamble. There's a group called Solar Studio on FB. If you can get in there they always have quality stuff. Not sure if they're doing a Tifa or not though. I'd ask them!
You are 100% correct about resale value. The amount of money these statues cost is not justifiable in my mind unless they hold that value, in which case the real cost of the statue is anything paid above that resell value (the rest of the money isn't 'spent' it is just in a far less liquid form). So the ultimate cost of the statue collecting hobby is fairly low as long as the statues hold the value (on average).
I'm in Canada but their packaging has always been top notch. Never an issue. I always get dinged with custom fees no matter where I order from but it's definitely no worse ordering from them. Maybe even slightly better if I remember right.
Dude, I just stumbled upon your uploads the other night & I finally book marked it. Seriously man, your collection is _AMAZING_ now. To be sure!!🤩I started in collecting Spider-Man comics in bulk earlier this year (just to note: All eras from Bronze, Modern to also Copper). Started in collecting the Spider-Man figures two months ago myself. Seriously man you've got an awesome retro toy display room plus man cave. God bless ya. And yeah man, physical media collecting for life as I say! So neat.☮
Wow thanks man! This is a huge compliment. Life had been hectic lately but I'm gonna try to find some time to post a bit more soon. Thanks for the follow/bookmark! That's awesome re the Spider-Man comics btw, that's one thing I need to start collecting more of again too.
Whoa I don't know what happened to my other reply but yeah man, your collection of figures is truly amazing! Also yeah bro, keep on and later on in the year you can start in with the different eras of Spider-Man titles (I can give you suggestions if you'd like). Stay cool man, and yeah I Can't wait to see more of your uploads. Cheers!!👍
I love it when i buy a statue thay completely sold out and the resell value goes up. 😂 even though i woild never sell, even though i know no one is going to buy it that x3 x5 amount $$$
Maybe it's not worth the price tag, but it's still very amazing and very rare since not many people ordered it (including myself) couldn't afford it 😅. Thanks for the video reviewing it and letting me see it
Has it got streetfigher rainbow edition 1,2,3? And all the other hacked version of street fighter? Them versions were the reason I bought my mame arcade machine
Oh man, I wasn't even aware of them until this comment. That's really cool, I'll need to look those up. While it doesn't have those, it has a few "aftermarket" SF games and mash ups with some crazy characters you can fight with, but they tend to crash the system.
havent watched the video yet, but I plan to get the upcoming aloy since i didnt have money when their first aloy came out, so while interested to know your thoughts, dont think i will be changing my mind on that. I will only ever be able to save the money for 1 prime 1 statue and it will be her
