Thought so too but I think it might be the fact that you can change the backing on the mirror to be like the sky, a mirror or nothing at all. The frame looked like metal too so that might be it. Still doesn’t really justify it to me tho💔
That Miku scale figure costs less than that Madoka figure and she is more detailed and intricate! Love these videos because I play them in the background when I am at the gym lol
@@DiamondFlame45 yeah but my taste in figures are limited nothing to frilly, not her Vocaloid outfit, and nothing to sexy. Nothing that family will go why did you buy that pose. So her looking like a goddess 👍
as a huge komi fan, I'm really excited to be getting another komi scale! personally, i think the bonus face is a lot better than the default face she comes with. and i agree, adding the floating chairs and desk would have elevated this figure and made it so so cool! while i do agree that her price point is high for what she is, I'm just gonna cope and say its because of how big she is lmao. she's listed as a 1/7 but picture's I've seen of her at figure events next to other figures, she honestly looks like a a massive 1/6.
Yeah I mean when I look at the figure I see nothing wrong with it. Just a little missed potential with the base. I can complain about the price but that's really just a me problem at the end of the day lol, and when it's a figure I want the price has to be REALLY bad for me to not get it
imagine if they had one chair kind of floating beneath her, make the chair connect to the base and komi herself connect to one edge of the chair. boom no stick up her booty 😅 i know it‘s kind of hard to pull off but for this price they could have tried something like this don‘t they?
@@ZuccoFigures Even then, it's hard to predict where the Yen will be at a year from now. Getting any in-stock stuff or pre-owned right now is like Black Friday at Walmart with the Yen being the lowest since '83 but I'd be worried what 25k will be in the future, or where we'll be for that matter, with an election and two global wars.
As someone who doesn't have enough money for scales, it's great to see a very nice large pop up parade for M. Kusanagi. Really looking forward to get her. ❤
The outfit of the horse girl is so pretty. And yes, Yoneyama Mai is the artist who designed that Miku. She's really great and already designed 2 previous Miku in streetware with really pretty hair. I did preorder the Miku designed by Rei which I don't regret even if Yoneyama's one is clearly a collection's highlight.
Hard work again and a big thank you! I am quite liking that Miku figure but worry about the ongoing state regarding GSC's QC on Miku releases. There are some worrying sharing and for a design this intricate, I am feeling even more reserved to hit that PO button. Might have to wait till release. And you are definitely expanding your voice-stamina - you certainly dont sound fatigue at all even at the end 💪
I'd been on the fence about pre-ordering that PUP-L Mirko since I already have her ARTFX-J 1/8 but seeing your review, I'm convinced I NEED her. It really is a fun, if simple, pose. 24:00 I can't confirm but I'm pretty certain Pink Rouge is just an adult-focused offshoot of EnsouToys, similar to FREEing and BINDing. There's another figure 'Pure Succubus Liz' that has two versions, a "sfw" from EnsouToys and an R18 version from Pink Rouge. I do like the pierced tongue expression, as well as the pierced ears on the DX but still clothed version. The adult DX just isn't worth the 26k for naughty bits.
Blue Archive Kotori does not wear glasses for her cheerleader alt, and it's never addressed in-game afaik, so maybe she has contacts. Also I'm offended by Hibiki's blue eyes they should be purple.
Zucco, you should make a video discussing hypothetical figures you'd want of characters (maybe in particular scales or poses) made by a company of your choice that you think would capture the character best. Here's a few for thought; Tifa Lockhart (FF7 remake) by Flare, Eve (Stellar Blade) by Flare, Seras Victoria scale by Max Factory and just some good Dragon Ball scales maan (bet if they picked out the sculptors from Banpresto and gave them better materials for the figures like max factory or good smile level quality we'd get ideal DB produce) Also likely a unpopular take, I really enjoyed Megahouses Dimension of Dragon Ball line I really wish they released that Vegito they showed off. Just an idea for a video that could create some good interaction.
It's so weird to me to see Buyee cropping up as a sponsor these days, cuz for years it was like this in-the-know service to help garage kit builders buy their very-exclusive-to-Japan grail kits--sure helped me by mine!
Noooo 😭😭😭 They told you about Maomao's freckles :( I wanted you to discover on your own Since that part was shocking for me too when seeing the show hahaha
Its kind of crazy that we have someone like GSC putting out Mio, Rapi and Rikka for $15-16k yen depending on if the store you buy them from has discounts or not, and then you look at Amakuni putting out that Makoto for $30K yen. Hmm, makes you think. . Kotobukiya is basically the Ubisoft of figures, so I'm sure Adol will be cheaper over time. They announced they were doing some Yakuza figures so I am pretty excited for that.
always looking forward to a preorder roundup! personally, couldn't help but preorder that miku scale, i've been waiting a miku i really like! it was a fun month for figure news and POs
Yeah I'm still thinking about getting the Miku myself. I'll probably decide after WonFes and Megahobby Expo just so I have a better idea of whats coming
Julys video is gonna go crazy lol so much good stuff has already gone up. I went to TMG on Saturday with an old college friend, found many good plush! Thanks again for another great vid Zucco!
YIPPIE Zucco vid! Always love these long ones! Def love the guilty gear figures, hopefully one day we'll be blessed with a larger variety of GG figures!
1:09:18 OH MY FUCKING GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! DUDE IS BEING 2 YEARS NOT EVEN A PROTOTIPE SCULPTURE AND THEY JUST DROPPED IT?! Time to cancel everything! I don't care but I need that figure!
The BRS is tempting, but so is every BRS for me. It's hard to hear that she'd be in better hands with GSC when they manufactured the recent "Inexhausible ver.". I really don't know how that turned out the way it did since normally I'd agree with you. I'll likely pick up the Rangiku. I might've skipped on the Char because of the price, but we're at over 160 yen to the dollar now. Amakuni feels like the canary in the coal mines so to speak when it comes to future pricing. (I've been seeing the 2 company approach for a SFW/NSFW ver. more recently because it sometimes really means "Chinese market/JP market" depending on who's involved)
eh you're right that inexhaustible version was disappointing. Completely forgot about that one and was thinking of others in the past and that HxxG one that somewhat recently came out
W. Gotta pay up the BA tax 🤟😔. Kotori has sprites with her cheerleader outfit and the glasses, but the main sprite doesn't wear them. Would have been a nice option to have. Hopefully both characters get their default outfits eventually too, Hibiki is really cool and Kotori needs her glasses!
Iirc, isn't there another figure showcase event like smile fest this month? I'm DYING to see if we get anymore Haikyuu figures or a look at the Eunie figma.
The Yui figures base reminds me of a mushroom. It actually would have been cute if they made her sitting on a toadstool instead of just floating I really like the Rapi figure. Its not my usual taste at all. I love more cutesy or fantasy themes. Its so simple and sporty but her face and hair are really pretty.
As a girl, the nikke rapi figure is soooo nice, finally a stacked, caked-up female figure with no nipple imprint 😭 it’s a pet peeve of mine, I wish more companies did away with the nipple poking out. Also I totally wish there was a GBF Raziel figure as gorgeous as that one.
The Adol is a 1/7, which kinda justifies the price more, but there's finally a good Adol, so imo, it's worth it. Plus, if it follows in the footsteps of the Trails figures, he'll shoot up in price. That Dan Hang/Imbibitor Lunae is amazing. There is a standard version without the dragon but it looks so empty without it.
Some of the fault is on UC for having stellar promotional images but then delievering subpar quality. I have always put UC into the midtier/lower midtier in terms of overall quality so I always hold my expectations down.
I preordered Ayamy cat version 1/7 scale. Its the first time I ordered a figure as soon as I saw it! I usually think about it for weeks first. I can't believe it's only 8800 yen.
I have no idea who that guy figure at 52:40 is but damn I like the sculpt of his face. Why can't they do a sculpt like that for Todoroki's face on a figure. I feel like they get his face wrong all the time. Sigh
18:28 I don't know, I ended up preordering because I like samurai, and having a cyberpunk flare is a bonus to me. It looks more like she's at rest before a fight so it's fine to me, like your character from FF14 with their weapon drawn. Still looks pretty detailed, and purple is a bonus for me. Does help AmiAmi had her a couple thousand yen cheaper. There's another Baiken. I'm waiting for that one. There's a bit of an issue with the Monster Hunter ones, possibly. We need better angles on the hands; they're wyverians, and wyverians do not have pinkies. These figures seem to have them, so if definite, it's an inaccuracy. I'm planning to wait to see if it's true and if they drop because of it. Not enough to say no because I love the quest maidens, but enough not to preorder at full price. *sigh* Why is the cow girl in the kimono actually tempting? I think it's the serenity and the kimono. The Amagi is tempting too, even if I have the normal one. But that's because I'm a sucker for fox ladies. The dragon duo, Ch'en and Dan Heng, are also tempting. I want the deluxe of Dan, but it's pricey. So I might opt for the normal one. Ch'en's tempting just for the traditionalist look.
I shoulda taken a closer look at the monster hunter maidens but tbh I probably would have missed that detail anyway so I appreciate your criticism on it
@@ZuccoFigures Even fan art can screw it up sometimes, so some of us paid more attention than others. The feet are right, for instance; they're supposed to be digitigrade.I still kind of want them but December is stacked for me already.
not just the madoka being waaaay too expensive something about her face just feels so damn wrong, I know madoka magica has its own style but i really hate her face on that xD it feels too long?? idk it's weird
I think I mentioned her face in a take I had to cut out but yeah it looked a little off? I wasn't sure if maybe the figure is based off some official art or something though
@@ZuccoFigures honestly, I dont know all madoka arts out there, but I'm a huge Fan of the series I havent seen her look so wonky before, even her pop up gave her a better face, so I'm just slightly confused as to why she looks like this in the scale Pics Maybe they'll work on it a bit more for the final release
Hello I had a question do you have any advice for how to display big figure I currently have a detolf but its too small for one of my miku figure and even my nia one so ye I dont rlly know how to go with that on a side note amazing video as usual I love to see these keep up the work !!!
For Nia I had to put her on a bookshelf. Ultimately you might just have to find new shelving/display cases for your collection. I needa buy some new ones myself so I don't have the best advice for you atm unfortunately
I didn't see you cover the other Nina Iseri figure by the TOEI (probably because its not distributed via standard website, but she is much cheaper! For this price she does look less polished (especially on the face) than the kotobukya one but she's an alternative at least... I can't see the other girls being less cheap so having the whole set for 1k$ is a bit crazy imo. I don't see them going down in the aftermarket, probably even up since more and more people are going to discover GBC over the years
Yeah unfortunately it's impossible to catch everything especially when its limited distribution. Maybe there's a better site for me to use though. Apparently that figure went up for preorder back in April though so I'm super late regardless lol. I do kinda like this one, maybe just cause of the outfit though. Also won't break the bank, but who knows about the quality
@@ZuccoFiguresyupp, it's such a hassle to buy anything exclusive from them. Even Aniplex is easier to get, especially now that some of their stuff is on Amiami. In any case, thanks for the answer, Zucco! 😊 Have a good one!
so that Rikka figure is actually a skin she had when ssss Gridman did a colab with Azur Lane. that's why it's got more of a fan service vibe to it. That being said it's always great to get figures from these kind of games because in game you only see the figure from one direction so there's always details you'll never see, like for Rikka we never knew she had that purple design on her shirt or the zippers on it
It's boring but kinda purposefully so? Like they kept the price down by keeping it basic. I think it looks good for what it is and the price they are asking but it's certainly not the most exciting Gojo out there
As a huge Alphonse Mucha fan, I ordered that Miku in zero time flat. GSC even has a bonus of the framed artwork, and all that plus shipping for under $250 is an absolute STEAL. I thought she was gonna be in the 40k-50k yen range. I didn’t give it a second thought!
Tbh she wasn't on my radar at all like I just do not remember her prototype but wow did she turn out good. I'm glad I got a little time to think about it though. Gonna be moving soon so gotta be extra picky these days with what I actually buy
@@ZuccoFigures I don’t even think she had a prototype so you’re good! She was announced a short while ago with just the illustration, and then BOOM there she is for preorder lol 😆 like whiplash!
Ah I guess I missed that one. Honestly her expression is really appealing. Of course there's a bunch of electricity and stuff that looks cool but I like her face the most
I am SO pumped for Apex’s Ibibitor Lunae/Dan Heng scale 🥹 he’s one of my top three favorites in Star Rail and they absolutely killed with their prototype. I’m so excited for him to come out!! and I believe there is also a regular/standard version that doesn’t have the dragon but is cheaper! also pumped for all of the Genshin/Star Rail nendoroids being announced/released. still hoping they’ll do Kaeya and Xiao too 🫶
As a big Kurumi fan, the White Queen naturally drew my eyes. But that price.... I think I'm gonna pass. This MaoMao is best out of the ones announced but still underwhelming. I'm gonna wait a bit to see if a better one get announced. I really want quality figure of her in normal state. But it's possible that I'll have to compromise and settle(like I did for Assassin Yor) At least Rapi is good in every way.
alot of good ones ill just stick to my method of stalking amiami the month of release or before and snipe a open preorder. always a few ppl that cancel. those tolove ru ones disappointed me tbh. the clothes look meh and the all white looks boring imo, prefer their updated standing bunnys. im gonna need that yami
I've got a few figures I'm trying to snipe myself but man one of them just wont budge at ALL (Ariel by Amakuni). Been like 7 months or something my luck is trash lol
I'll go against the stream and say I don't like the Miku at all.. I think the background / base is fairly random, and the color scheme doesn't work for me at all.. nor the outfit or face or hair remind me of Miku either. It looks to me like more just an OC. There's also 0 shading on her hair (head not twintails) and to me it looks kinda chonky, with a lot of connected strands on the sides. Gotta give them credit for the fabric sculpt, but overall this doesn't work for me at all for some reason.
