I just sold my Lancer/Medusa through MFC (listed my Mercari link through it), curious if you got her from me lol 😆 Either way, she’s an amazing figure, glad you could get her! I displayed her for quite sometime after I got her, as I also didn’t think I’d ever own her. She’s definitely a beauty.
Bought a new lens halfway into making this video. Nothin crazy since I'm still learning, but I used it for the B roll which I think turned out a little better. That or uploading in 1440p. Now I just need to find a way to better light my room for the main footage and I'll be happy
Always great seeing another Zucco video! Your knowledge and love for Touhou always puts a smile on my face. I agree about the bloomers on Kokoro, she definitely should've had some!
Excellent video, Zucco. I really enjoyed it. Even though my taste couldn't be more different, I really get captivated by the way you express yourself and with the flow of the video. Awesome job ❤
If we all collected the same figures it wouldn't be as fun, though I do feel like my taste in figures is a little strange since it's all over the place lol
The robot guy is a part of a sci-fi series from the 80's called Maschinen Krieger ZbV 3000. Apparently it originally ran in Hobby Japan from 1982-1985. Neat.
24:08 Shipping that size box EMS from AmiAmi costs ¥10k to Europe. Just shipped Albedo from FuRyu that has similar size box cost me ¥10k to ship 3 weeks ago. If you’re buying from AmiAmi try buying a few things at once, I just bought 7 scales & 1 Nendoroid and shipping was only ¥20k. Total cost ¥190k for the whole order. And shipping any one of those scales on their own costs ¥5k, because 2 of the figures are part of a line and I’ve already got 6 of them, and 2 I shipped separately & it was over ¥5k each.
5:27 She looks good for an older figure, some of the older figures still look great. I just bought my 2 oldest figures, from the manga Heavens Lost Property it’s Nymph by Plum from 2011 & Astraea by Plum from 2013, I got them preowned from AmiAmi, ¥26k for Astraea & is still sealed & unopened. But Nymph I got cheap for ¥4k because her base is discoloured. Just looking as Astraea in the box she doesn’t look like a 10 year old figure, her face looks amazing, better than figures from today. I opened Nymph just to look at the stand, but it isn’t bad, you can barely notice it’s discoloured. I can’t wait to open Astraea, hopefully I’ll get to her soon, I’ve so many figures to unbox.
26:49 I love her!! I’ve never seen this figure, I wanted a figure of her about a year ago and I couldn’t find one. I ended up getting a cheap figure from big bad toy store for around $50 I think. It’s in the exact same pose as this, but this is 100x nicer. I love Fate, I have to unbox Semiramis from Phat Company & Mash from Stronger very soon. I now have 30 scale figures in boxes haha. I’m making a manga channel but I’ll do some figure unboxing too, but it’ll be more manga focused. But I love this version of Medusa, Ana was one of my favourite characters in Babylonia, it’s probably my favourite Fate anime, the first few minutes of the first episode with Mash trapped in that room was so cool. I have to open that Mash figure soon, it has one of the nicest boxes I’ve seen, I don’t know much about the manufacturer Stronger though, don’t think I’ve seen any other figure from them.
Nice another Kagura Fan. I also hunted for years for all these Kagura figures. The other megahouse figure you mentioned is btw also based on an Gintama episode. There was a timeskip arc in which Kagura appeared looking like this. Don't want to spoil anything though 😊
Yeah I remember that episode vaguely. I just think Megahouse exaggerated the bust and her face is boring. The other Adult figure they made is better, though that version I know nothing about
Man, I’ve got a few figures that I’m trying to get my hands on, 1/6 Sinon by Embrace Japan, 1/8 Leomon G.E.M by Megahouse, 1/8 Shirai Kuroko by Toys Works to name a few
Yeah, the nendroid Dedede never really looked that good. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is definitely a great Kirby game, especially as a main line 3D game.
Most of the figures I want are all much more expensive in the aftermarket, like the Overlord Narberal Gamma 1/8 by Alter, I’ve seen it for ¥90k haha, I’ll try get it cheaper somewhere.
Your comments and how much you spent on the Touhou figure is really making me want that Solarain Reimu now. It's a little more than what you paid right now, and is also very dynamic looking. Kind of prefer it over most of the other Reimu ones I've seen. Also that Medusa is cute, though the hair sculpt on the non-cloaked one really impressed me more. The non-cloak one, however, is apparently really expensive and not worth it to me. Maybe I'll look out for the cloak only version.
Solarain's Reimu is really nice. Not sure if I'll pick it up myself but I can understand why you like it over most of her other figures. Honestly yeah I like the cloak version more. I jumped on an opportunity to get the version with both designs but I don't think you are missing out on much by getting the standard release
@@ZuccoFigures So anyway, AmiAmi's pre-owned section went back up, and on a lark I decided to look it up. Cloak version was available at 70 bucks. I've see it going for much, MUCH higher. So I took the opportunity. I will admit I haven't seen the F/GO anime and don't really play the game much, but still a Fate fan and a fan of her expanded role in the original Stay Night story.
@@SirthOsiris 70 Bucks?! that's kind of insane. Crazy deal. Also I don't play Fate/Go either lol. Not really into games like that, I just like the characters
@@ZuccoFigures It was a B/B rating, though. I'm almost wondering if something more was wrong with it to warrant such a low price, or AmiAmi just wanted to get rid of it. Nevertheless, I am assured B is the equivalent of "it was displayed at one point in someone's home," so hopefully it was the latter. I did double check with MFC just to make sure it was the non-limited of your figure, and the image AmiAmi had was the box in MFC. There's apparently a cheap version of the character around as well, hence the double checking. Basically kind of the same. I go by 'as long as I am highly impressed with the aesthetics of the figure, I'm inclined to buy it.' Kimonos and fox girls are usually placed high on my want list regardless if I know or like the origin. I don't care for the ship girls of Azur Lane, but they have more than 1 fox girl in a kimono in their line up, as an example.
Medusa's hair is gorgeous, but the cloak look is so cute its hard to decide which to display. It kind of seems like some companies can't do chains properly or they're lazy, like that new miku figure with the chain around her neck. I think even altairs gilgamesh has chains that are filled in and some that are not - maybe chains have to be like that for structural purposes?
It's a tough choice, but I guess that's a good thing that both options are really well done? Probably going cloak in the future though. And yeah it's hard to say. For Miku that just feels like the company was lazy but the others I'm not educated enough to comment on lol
8:06 I’m trying to stay away from Nendoroids from now on, I have over 30 of them and I’m just going to get a few for putting around manga. I just seen the Ainz (Overlord) Nendo on AmiAmi preowned for ¥19k.
Yo, just saw your community post regarding your vids underperforming a few weeks ago. Wanted to say im gonna have your stuff playing in the background 24/7 to help you :) Please make a memebers only for unedited cuts, would love to see it.
Ha I appreciate it. I just gotta improve my quality so more people want to watch em. Members only content is interesting though, I'm not sure how many people would be interested in that. A Patreon has crossed my mind as well, though I'm not ready to make one yet
As long as you're patient you should eventually be able to find it for a decent price. It's usually frustrating when you are really focused on getting one figure and keep looking it up though lol
I found Lancer Medusa on amiami for $138 preowned ! Personally amiami is my go to cause the contact system on mfc is so weird. But I'm sure finding something with a waaaay lower price somewhere else after you overpaid happened to all of us. It sucks haha
I think you are the second person in this comments section to mention they found medusa for a really good price on AmiAmi lol. Was it the normal version or the special one? Either way good stuff!
Instant Like button. Thanks for sharing new haul. Btw what are your thoughts about Kotobukiya re-releasing Pokemon Dawn with Piplup figure? Will you be getting her? She was a bit expensive up till now on aftermarket. I think it's one of, if not, the best figure from Kotobukiya Pokemon figures.
I actually already have that one lol. I think I might have unboxed her on the channel but I can't remember which video it was in. Definitely one of the better pokemon figures so far
I was wondering what glass shelf brand are you using to display your figurine and if its expensive do you have any cheaper recommendation I have nowhere to display my Nia figurine and I have pyra and mythra coming soon and the 16 anniversary miku figurine coming later on thank you
They are detolfs from Ikea. Honestly they used to be great buys due to their cheap price but they kept raising the price over the years(and apparently have discontinued them?). They get the job done though and I recommend them if you can't find anything else at an affordable price but you can likely find better. Most collectors tend to use them
@@ZuccoFigures Lmao that's fair but yes you we're right the Detolf did get discontinued at least where I live and they're replacement of the detolf is too tiny for Nia do you happens to know another glass display that is good ? Ty
Had to hunt for it on Mercari.jp Gotta use a proxy site like zenmarket or Buyee to order from them though. It's a pain buying any asano inio shirts lol.
There was one point it was really bad but it was my fault. I lowered the volume alot though so Ultimately it was fine but I gotta still mess around with settings
