So apparently Skadi retailed for 1699 chinese yuan in china, which would convert to around 35k japanese yen! So i would have been right lmao, From what people have commented, seems like myethos's prices are still the same in China, but in japan prices have bumped up. Even if they yen was as bad as it is I didn't think they would up charge figures that the original manufacturer already have a set price for but im no expert lol
interesting then from 1699 chinese yuan is about 35,000 japanese yen which is what i hoped the price would be lmao great. , i dont buy from chinese sites and prefer to keep all my orders on one so lmao wouldnt matter much to me but good to know
Japanese are known for selling overpriced stuffs, so no surprise there. I bet people will be arguing about price vs quality, but let's be real, that's just a stereotype. People tell themselves that when they get scammed as a self-reassurance. lmao
Oh my goodness, Skadi is absolutely breath-taking. Theres so much detail on her and everything on the base. 🔥 I got chills when the Arknights menu track played. Loved the new creative editing as well. Great vid as always and nice shirt 😂
You're right, the hat is sooo damn cute. It definitely would have been great of they included it 🥲 The background piece is epic. Glad you had the chance to get your hands on this figure 👏
Myethos has more incoming Arknights figures, Amiya and Eyjafjalla from Ambience Synesthesia 2022 and Liduke's formal wear (finally) that Anigift was supposed to do 2.5 years ago. Myethos's figures are very beautiful, especially their fairy tales series. I did bought one 1/10 sized figure for a friend and ngl, for a budget sized figure, their quality is really good. Shame about their Miku 1/7 though that only sold in China. I actually... quite terrified of using proxy services due to bad experience.
It is in mfc website (although I found out from Reddit). They had three figures from the series made and painted on preview. They are on pre-order a few months ago, I believe.
From what I remember, Amiami increased her price before release. I got early preorder there and paid 43k JPY for figure, 8k for surface shipping. They probably saw there is high demand for this one or just adjusted for weak Yen.
She was 43,000 yen on Amiami when she went up for pre-order but is now 50,300 yen. I didn't feel like paying EMS/DHL so I went with Sea Freight and paid 8,100 yen for a total of 51,100 yen or $460 CAD. Amiami shipped on Jan26th. I received it March 14th. I live in Toronto, Canada for reference.
From my experience, very high quality and good figure. When I receive the figure it's does lost one of skadi hand due to packaging issue but props to myethos for support and send me back really fast. If you're a fan of Arknights and really want Skadi, I highly reccomend this
Stunning figure from Myethos as usual! On a side note, the price increase for myethos figures are most likely due to inflated prices in the Japanese market. You can still get their figures for cheap-ish if you look to sites like taobao or other domestic sites in china. The problem with that is you have to use a proxy service since most of them don’t deliver internationally but maybe it’d still be worth it for expensive figures like this one.
Yeahh at that point id rather not go through the hassle, i don't know how much cheaper it could be to go through proxies at that point, l i also perfer not to preorder stuff via proxies too so i would have to buy after release if possible 🤷♂️ i dont know how the after market is in china lol
Happy to see the figure is beautiful and glad you have because sadly for me the one I bought got lost on shipping, I got refunded all the money but I'm sad that I don't have it 😢
When I pre ordered it from amiami, it got it for around 43k yen, which was roughly 415 ish Canadian. With shipping (using the cheapest option) grand total was around 51k yen, which was 493$ Canadian when I paid for it, which for the size and quality of the figure, I'd say is worth.
On average, CN figs appearing on Japanese sites are usually 25-30% more (at least what I seen for Myethos and Apex figs) than trying to get directly through China by Taobao, proxy, etc.. It also doesn't help that Amiami has been skimping out on discounts, as someone mentioned she was at first 43k, which I'm usually trying to avoid. I used Akimomo, an Australian site, since some figures are priced better weirdly. The shipping dates was hectic for this figure and still is for other countries but I got mines in ~1 month which even going surface premium on Amiami was like $100 usd difference. Planning to get Surtr swimsuit on backorder here too since her total is already cheaper than Amiami's fig price.
I got this figure via surface 2 weeks ago, and I was waiting for your video before I unboxed her. There's something about your videos that makes the whole thing a unique experience. TY! And with that, time for me to open mine and put her inside my display ;)
Nice unboxing especially with the ASMR effects 😂 I am glad I got the standard edition of this, Skadi looks awesome as is, I just couldn’t justify the cost of getting the large hunk of plastic dragon behind her as well 😅 Also glad to hear it’s sold out and not binning, makes it even more worth the preorder 😊
The Surtr Magma Myethos figure came with foam also. Just got the payment notification for the Surtr Summer Myethos Figure. Did you order that one also?
I actually picked my standard edition one up for 170ish€ including shipping so I guess that might have been a good deal then again, I do live in germany so the taxes will come my way, prolly throwing her up a little more xD considering I'd have to pay them on any site, I guess that's fine she's still stuck in transit, but this video sure makes me look forward to getting her
I thought about getting this but glad I'm didn't since this figure would just be stuck in the same dilemma as my Artoria Lion King scale fig till this day 😅. "Now where am I gonna put you." I felt that lol.
JFC 24000 for shipping is so expensive. I would have thought that there'd be a market for someone to be a redistributor in NA and bring down the total price for locals.
From what ive read on mfc, some peopl said that you do need a blacklight, but it still glows if you shine some regular light on it. Maybe the ffects more prominent? No idea lol
Not gonna lie I kinda just want the base. I'm a big fan of monster figures and I'm wondering if its sold by itself. Worse case Ill prob find one buy it then resell the figure lol
@kenken004, should i try to get her cause i see one in the use so far or should i go for Fate/Grand licorne Jeanne D'Arc [Alter] (the one she standing in the dragon head). I see a couple of those too. I dint know which one😂😂😂
@KenKen004 funny part is I haven't played either game, but im a hugh fate fan(been enjoying fate/samurai ps5 game). I already have Alter Ego/Okita Souji figure, so I might go with jeannae d'arc. Plus, I've only seen a few jeanne tht look legit with box in the wild on ebay and a reasonable price cause tht 600 is love threatening 🤣🤣
@@desertjane oh lol well if you haven't even played either game, id recommend neither since its a lot of money to spend on something you aren't invested in enough. But if youve played a spinoff for fate i guess thats better than nothing so go with jeanne lmao
@KenKen004 yea, I do get figures from stuff i know, but there are too many gorgeous figures out there to stuff I never heard of. The craftsmanship be to amazing🤣🤣
Yeah, ive just seen too many people who will buy any figure that catches their eye, and then later down the line they'll come to a realization that they should have curated their collection more, and only buy figures from works that they actually dive into and love. Since the hobby is quite expensive already and takes up a lot of space depending on how deep into it you are. Then theyll go through the hassle of trying to getting rid of the figures. Save yourself the headache xD Good reason why I've never felt regret over any of my purchases or the need to sell any of my figures, cause i only get things that i truly have a passion for.
