Why I Collect Nendoroids 

Who cares what people think. Thy are beautiful works of art. I am 59 and collect them, I tell everyone. I am proud of my collection.

I love Nendoroids -cute -accessories -good price -Perfectly detailed eyes

to ask "why collect Nendodroid?" is like to ask "why people collect painting?" "why people collect sculpture?" nendodroid is just sculpture, and cute one at that, also more affordable and pose-able than stone or wood sculpture

I am one of those lucky married men whose wife understands and feeds my nendoroid problem, primarily with Kancolle girls.

I just found your channel and you are absolutely adorable omg

I like/love collecting my friend's origamis. She always makes a tons of origamis and when she's done, she just give it to me and keep them.....(what a memories)

This video made me go "awwww"!As someone who loves all things cute, collecting anime figures is in a way an extension of it. I love anime and what it has taught me. It opened my mind to new experiences, motivated and cheered me up when I was down. Getting anime figures make me happy because it means I can have my favorite characters who I love close to me. Life can get stressful and tiring, but when I come to my room and I'm surrounded by everything I love, I'm reminded of what these characters stand for and get inspired. It makes me forget the stress and can relax. It's kind of like therapy for me.

Nendoroids are so cool because they allow you to make many different poses as opposed to scales which only have one pose and you can also switch pieces of your nendoroids with other nendoroids and create a whole new version of your favorite characters.

You wanna know why i collect nendoroids? Read the nendoroid slogan on the box.

Yay happy you did this video! wow those cards are beautiful

How do you manage to budget your expenses with this hobby?

When I first saw a nendoroid i thought they where ugly , right now i am waiting for 5 nendos to arrive home :'3

is that baby Dave?? I still remember buying my first nendo. And now I can't stop...😱💸

This was a nice video. It reminded me of why I like collecting horse models. I like their colors and molds that can look so realistic. Even if they're called "toys" which makes people think it's a childish thing to collect them, there's a lot more to it than that and that goes for every collector. You enjoy collecting new models of your favorite breed or color or famous horse. Breyer specifically has lots of models dedicated to real life horses and during BreyerFest (I guess you can call it similar to a convention) you can meet some of those horses and look at the model of them in your hand and look up to see the living, breathing creature that inspired the model. BreyerFest is 3 days of celebrating horses and you can see and learn so much from basic breed introduction to trick riding and competitions (horseball was super fun to watch! Also when they had full armor jousting) and you actually have fun standing in line to get the special models of that year cause each year they have a theme and then design models around that theme. It's a driving force for me to collect cause not only can I work on photography with the models, I can also respect and learn about the breed or horse and what they've accomplished

Before I started to collect nendoroids, playing videogames was my hobby. I'm usually updated to every game news and releases but with having less and less time to play all the games I have bought. I just came to a point that I can't keep up with all the awesome games that are being released. So I had a tough decision of changing hobbies, and eventually I found nendoroid collecting to be the answer. Games and Nendoroids both cost a lot but with nendoroids, it doesn't demand any time to actually enjoy them. I can even enjoy them by just looking at them while I lie in bed after work. :)

I collect figures in general because I love having physical objects of my favorite chracters. plus I like them for there cute/coolness.

i collect figures because i really love art. i see them as statues and art peices. I really love nendroids because they are also toys, so i can play with them and have fun!

i collect alot of gundam cause i feel so kimochii while building them

I had the biggest smile watching this! I can tell how happy and passionate you are about nendo’s ☺️

I love watching your nendoroid reviews and monthly hauls. Everytime I watch your monthly hauls, it makes me want to buy more nendoroids even I don't know what anime they come from because they're soooo cute!! I still remember my 1st nendoroid and it's 2 star uniform ver. Of Mako from Kill la Kill from Anime Expo 2015 and ever since I can't stop buying them! Keep up for more videos! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Expensive, but I wanna start a collection as well!

I love your nendoroid collection !!! 😭❤️

3:36 is the best message so far anyone has gave me thank you SO MUCH and yeah that part struck me because I’m not what people think people think I’m a normal matured 16 year old but no. I’m 10 times timid than others I just pretend to be cool and be a normie so people won’t judge me ever since I got my joker Nendoroid I was like yo I need more I started hoarding Nendos like genos Saito a Shōtō etc. and like you said I cannot let people know I have this kind of hobby because they might judge me and bullshit plus I’m in the Philippines, you rarely see Filipinos do this kind of hobby so yeah people think you’re some kind of weirdo and some shit but ever since I heard this part I immediately sent this to my girlfriend and said I confessed when I ordered online I wasn’t buying clothes I wasn’t buying ps4 games I bought Nendoroids,figmas,and SH figuarts and she said BOBO (dumb ass) she said why did you have to kept it to yourself I collect as well duh and omg I was in tears so yeah thank you for this Dave god bless you

Why not? They’re cute, chibi. You can collect and display a lot of them in one small space. They’re so worth the money, looking at the processes that go into making just one nendoroid. Even if you’re not into series that some nendoroids come from, you can still collect them because you love how cute/handsome they are. It’s brilliant

I know this is a 4 year old video but I happened to see it in my recommended, even tho I've been a subscriber, recently I've been doubting myself on and off about how I like nendoroids about what others would think of me and how humiliated others would make me feel and I felt a deep shame and embarrassment to where I wouldn't even dare to let anyone know I liked anything anime-wise but seeing this video has really struck that fire for how much I love these little nendoroids, so I'm deciding to get some nendoroids and make my collection bigger and start collecting again, because who cares what others think, this is my hobby, and not theirs to judge so I'm gonna do what makes me happy! I have a very very small (literally two nendoroids) just because when I started getting into them that's what I had and I love them a lot so I'm gonna try to make my collection bigger and I hope if anyone else is going through this and needs to hear this, well hear ya go!

Thank you for this video. ❤ I can't count how many times I've stopped myself from buying these kinds of things because of how expensive they are and I just couldn't find myself splurging money on stuff like these BUT just like you, I've also collected cards and other cute shit back in the days and long story short, while me and my boyfriend were looking for his Gundam, I've stumbled upon Nendoroids and lo and behold I've just pre-ordered my first Nendoroid a few days ago and I can't wait to have it by February. It's Joker of Persona 5 by the way! I'm so excited!!! ☺ I love your videos by the way! Keep up the good work!

You are an impressive collectror. I really like that you are loving what you are doing without hesitating at any moment! Congratulations and keep going on collecting. I'm also an anime figure collector and there are times that is feel guilty of collecting because off all the expenses and the world's reaction but when i watch your videos i feel happy and relieved for what I'm doing!!

Excellent video! I know people subscribe for your reviews (and rightfully so) but what makes me stay are these little videos that you share about yourself. You are such a positive light, and just so much fun. I've also always been a collector and I find people either get it or just really really don't understand collecting. Also, nothing wrong with loving cute things, and I say that about all things (cute, scary, gore, dirty, etc). You gotta do what makes you happy! and you make others happy, well done sir

congratulations on hitting 3k! you deserve it and you should have more subscribers. when I see that you upload it makes me happy because you are so funny and I love your intros you are my favorite youtuber to watch.

I can't wait for your Aqua review! I was finally able to preorder her rerelease after missing her original preorders 😄 I like to collect Nendoroids because I always wanted to collect figures of my favourite anime characters but I really don't have the room or money for nice scale figures 😢 But I discovered some great Nendoroid Instagram accounts (and then your RU-vid channel) and fell in love with these cute little figures 😍

Congratz on 3000 sub Nendo! I always love your videos. They put a smile on my face whenever I watch them and they are a good relaxer after a days work. It is something that I aspire to be.

Congrats for the 3000 subscribers!!! you're one of the best youtuber ever!!! You are an inspiration to us :)

Just bought my first nendoroid, so now the door is open for me too! Who knows what the next year will hold lol. Can't wait to build my first dio for it. Nice collection man! Just subscribed ;)

I just want to pop in and say how much I love your channel! I recently got into nendos and your channel is super helpful and funny! My collection is about to go from 0 to 6 in just a few months. (Pre-ordered every Konosuba and KLK nendo!)

Im about to start collecting nendoroids this coming january and you really inspired me alot

Great video I really enjoyed it. I hope you keep them coming

seeing ur videos about nendoroids want me to collect nendoroids too! xD so I am planning to at least get one this year, and it's the chuuya nendoroid 😜 I love ur nendoroid reviews! 💕

I started to buying and looking for the Nendoroids because of you~ hehe you inspired me! Thanks!

YO is that simple and clean playing Cx

Currently my collecting habits have changed drastically. Going from Marvel/DC figures + Transformers...to a few SH Figuarts+ Figma...now it's turning into Nendoroids! Currently oogling Meta Knight and both Saber/Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay. Nendos are perfect because they're small (but not too small) and you can sit them on a shelf with a quick pose, then admire them! Plus if you bump into them they may be less likely to fall over (varies per figure I know) as opposed to larger figures. Lastly the price point makes me think carefully before I buy and I only get those I really like.

hey Dave, I'm travelling in the Philippines and came across this Rin Tohsaka Nendoroid in this mall here..this was my first purchase and seeing this vid is rather inspiring for me. I think I have to go back to the mall and pick up my own Aqua Nendoroid as well hahaha. I've gone ahead and subscribed, cannot wait to see what new content you have in store.

So I collect both anime figures and nendoroids, nendoroids are just so fun to take photographs on and switch faceplates and all that stuff! It's so fun :3 and they're just so cute, and anime figures are just so stunning to look at. But since I'm only 17 and I live alone in my small appartment, I go to art collage I can't really afford nendoroids often. Like the Rin and Len harvest moon nendos I want them so bad !! And the re releases of the kill la kill nendos. But I won't be able to get them. So that's kinda sad

Just found out about your channel recently when I looked up an aqua nendroid review. I really love the aqua nendroid and it looks really cute, but it’s sooo expensive 😭😭. Anyways, continue the great reviews, we all enjoy them 😊

i can relate to always having to collect stuff,lol. I'm thinking of doing a manga/nendroid collection soon!

I started collecting nendos because of you i think. But i fell in love with Ryuko first and then Aqua. I couldnt buy Ryuko so i preordered Aqua, and then the first i actually owned first was Chitoge. I just loved how cute she looked and with her tsun pose i just wanted her too. I also recently started researching how to edit videos, equipment and all the good stuff. My videos will be about my nendos too, manga, light novels and videogames. However im a million lightyears away to be good as you. My vids are pathetic but im having fun making them and learning as i go through. Anyways i wanted to say thanks for all the hints and help you have given me. Keep up the good work.

Oh, congrats on hitting 3K! I also like collecting nendoroids because I think they are too cute. I was the kid with a black trench coat, long black boots, and a pentagram necklace when I was in high school, so it's hard to believe but cute things are just too cute! I later found out that some people thought I was a Satanist and super scary when I was in HS, it's kind of amusing because I'm not scary at all. XD I also love the poseability, but lets be real here... I'm pretty sure most of us put them in one pose and don't mess it up unless we want to take pictures, haha. It's always fun to see your openings, I can tell you put effort in them to try to make them as funny as can be. Collecting is also something I have done since young, I still have a box filled with Yu-Gi-Oh cards somewhere in the depths of my closet. Keep up the great work, Dave!

I started collect my Haikyuu nendoroids because of you, Dave. Thank you

I really like the Madoka Magica Nendoroid. I really like the show. It's so tragic, but it's advertised as being really kawaii. I get stuff off of Amazon, so Figmas are WAYYY out of my little budget. But with the 20-30 pound Nendoroids, I could probably collect much more of them quicker. :3

On the topic on nendoroid, I fixed my sisters Kinata nendoroid yesterday, she's from Lucky Star! She broke 2 years ago, and she thought she wouldn't see her fixed ever again, but I fixed her, she just has to be careful,though, she's leaning against so,etching since she has one leg up and one leg on the floor. And I have the mini ones, you can move their head, but you can't really pose them. They're all Vocaloid and I don't know where two are from, gotta figure that out.

congrats dave on 3000 subbied!, Awesome video your vids alway make me laugh ,there great fun. :3 epic sailor moon card collection so pretty!!! , i love to collect nendos cos there sooooo cute, & its like having tiny ver. of the charaters you love live with you, I can't help but smile when I see there lil faces they make me feel happy. I've collected alot of things over the years ,some i still collect , some i stopped, alot of charater figures/toys mostly whether it be anime, disney or other animated movies or old shows I watched as a kid like my little pony toys & care bears nestelgic toys , things that remind me of home & memories of when I was little, the memories of things/charaters i like & how they Made me feel the things I collect reflect that , they make me feel happy if that makes any sense hehe. :3 .

I love nendoroids I have 5 of them, I have the type moon petit set coming in the mail and I am so excited!

I just got my first nendoroid the other day and I’m in love 🥺

Great Review, I only have 7 nendoriods so far...i'm hoping to get more in the future! I just found your channel when i was look up why i should collect nendoroids on RU-vid lol

I love this video! I can't believe I got addicted to buying these things. I can't stop!

Having my first Nendroid makes me wanna collect more😅😅 Why do I Love Nendroids? - Cute, Stylish, Chibi

Louder 😌 i’m starting to collect them but the one i want are so hard to find and more expensive but they are worth it 🥰

I can't express how glad I am to stumble upon this channel when I was scrolling at a character's pictures on Google (Bokuto, specifically). Your review videos are amazing, the quality, the effort, the commentary, my time is NEVER wasted. Your videos always makes me want to start collecting nendoroids of my favorite characters IF I BECOME A NENDOROID COLLECTOR (and I'm planning to become one) THEN YOU'LL BE THE REASON WHY ^-^

I think its so cute that you love cute things!! But yes I agree, seeing cute small versions of your favorite characters is so nice

I love collecting :) Nendos are great because they all look like a collection even though all the characters are from completely different worlds! And with their different face plates and accessories, I feel like they're a true embodiment of the character not some static object. They're charming!

There's also the Cu-Poche line made by Kotobukiya, of Frame Arms Girl frame. It's very similar to Nendoroid except they have more articulations as if it's Nendoroid and Figma combined.

I just bought 4 different ones, I can’t wait I want to start a collection as well!

i just started collecting them because of YOU!!😄...your collection its awesome..your vids are awesome...your awesome ✌😂

Awesome video

i want to start collecting them just because itd make me happy. there shouldnt have to be more of a reason for someone to collect something

Watching your video...especially this video, brightens up my day on "why we shouldn't really care about what others think" (if its just hobby or some sort)!! Thank you >

Why am I just seeing you now? I'm 5 years late 😅 but seriously you seem like a really wholesome person! :) I'm having a hard time lately, even if I just came across your channel, you deserve respect man. I appreciate you.

I love collecting items as well. Especially anime merch and I love Nendoroids too. I already have 2 of them (a kimono Hastune Miku and Ciel Phantomhive) and I hope to get more soon. But since I'm still a teenager I always have to find ways to convince my parents or to get money. And my parents don't like the fact I collect things they think it's unnecessary and waists money. But I'm still going strong and I hope to sell tons of my older things for newer items to collect :). Edit: oh and by the way, I love your channel and I think you're really funny!

Looking forward to your review on Aqua! I preordered her a week ago when I found out she's getting a re-released. Along with a few other nendoroids. She's really a hilarious character. Love your Sailor Moon card collection by the way! Thought I'd let you know they're re-releasing those cards in Japan so you might still be able to buy them on various websites. I know Jlist has them but not sure where else.

I also love collecting stuff especially figures

I love collecting and the art style on nendoroids is so perfect compared to chibi arts and other companies where they are slightly too big/small/wide/skinny.

As long as you're happy! That's what's truly important. Kudos

I have 2 nendoroids, and i am jealous of your collection

Hi Dave, hope you do another room tour! It's been almost a year!

i like the kingdom hearts simple and clean in the background

I love nenderoids so much aaaaa, but since I’m a broke school student I only own an eren mikasa and Levi nendoroid, I’m currently searching for the banana fish nendoroids! They’re honestly super cute. Nenderoids are genuinely perfect for making customs as well! I love an anime called Mirai Nikki and Yuno only has one figure which is super overpriced- (one sold on yja for 251001 yen!) so I’m thinking of making a custom nendo of her. Love your collection!

3:49 Well said! I was also self conscious about liking cute things!

Awesome video! Even though I've never even met you, I relate so much to you =) I used to collect those Sailor Moon cards too!!

Cause there cute, anime and nendoroid💕 and yup love Pokemon💕 yea collecting does fill that void in your heart❤️

I began to collect nendoroids when i saw Miku Senbonzakura. she was so cute with her little bike. i love hatsune miku so i collect all sorts of figures of her but i admit i really love nendoroids.

I like to collect nendoroids because they have a meaning behind them to me, Madoka Magica nendoroids for empowerment and kindness; Kill la Kill nendoroids for empowerment and strength ... etc. I collect prints to remind me of the cons I've been to and the art is always fabulous, though those are easier to keep under control, collection-wise! I always love your videos Dave thank you for working so hard for all of us!

I collect a variety of things myself such as Dolls (Variety), Pokemon tcg, Disney belle, hatchimals collectables, now I am starting to collect nendroids. I just preordered my first one which is Belle.

word! keep it up

KH Simple and Clean or in Japanese Hikari nice backround music. Awesome video!

Is that piano music a faster version of simple and clean from KH? Omg loveitt

I love Nendoroids too!!! I have all the Zelda and almost all Pokémon Nendoroids. And I have Harry Potter (three first)! I think my collection will be bigger. I also loved collecting things as a child~ I love the different poses, faces and accessories too. It means it never gets boring like static figures! I wish there were no bootleg Nendoroids though. I haven't seen them yet, and I hope I never will!!! I also love how eg. Marvel Nendoroids resemble the actors' faces really well, it amazes me how they do that transformation to the chibi-format!

I want to collect them because they are cute also finishing an anime i check to see if that anime has a Nendoroid counterpart

I subbed and yes, your intro's make me laugh :)

I just recently bought my first nendoroid! At fist I thought they were overpriced but I saw a megumin nendoroid and I just had to have it. Totally worth it!

One of the things you should mention and its the reason I like to collect them is cost Not to bag on scale figure collectors, but they are very expensive. As opposed to nendoroids which can be had for $30-100 depending on the character/rarity. So you get more bang for the buck, and can get more of them.

You are the best RU-vidr ever .(i have subscribe on your show

This is pretty sweet! Unlike a brand, I love collecting figures, cards, keychains, straps, plushies, and more of Hanamaru Kunikida

I feel you on learning how to play Pokemon card game, I went to an event to learn, and still can't play. I love nendoroids because they are so cute and I can get like 3 or 4 nendoroids for the cost of one scale figure. They also make nendoroids of characters that we may never get scale figures of.

Had no idea you are a fellow Easy Allies fan! I don't actually have any nendoroids yet, although I have 8 pre-ordered!

I bought many nendoroids after watching your reviews. They're amazing! Now I moved to collecting Sailor Moon merch only as everything is so expensive and can not have everything xD I still collect the must have nendoroids for me, like the disney ones that they announced and the Hatsune Miku versions! There's a Sailor Moon variant from MegaHouse that is pretty much like a Nendoroid (Just saying since you mentioned you love her as well!). Thank you for your hard work!

OMG the sailor moon cards.. Nostalgia 😭❤️

I collect keychains. I have so many of them. Why? because they are less expensive and require less room :P I love collecting my favorite characters. Nice video btw My first ever Nendoroid Rin from Little Busters. I love her character and her nendoroid so much

I have 13 nendoroids now and im collecting ;.; i love them

Just bought my second! Alice From SAO my first was little with academia Akko

Imagine walking into someone’s room and seeing the shelf behind him in their room. I would be hella intimated
