Wow, this new unboxing setup is fantastic, you are really good filmographer. Seeing this figure shows how hit and miss anime figures are. There is frequently a problem with the paint / skin tones, the face, or the price to performance. This figure dodged all those issues though.
Thank you! Due to the nature of how these figures are heavily mass produced nowadays, we are always at the mercy of the manufacturer, on whether they screw up something or not. And if they did, it boils down to whether we have better alternatives or the same character from other brands. With Caenis, we don't have much of a choice at the moment, so it's great to see Good Smile getting almost everything right with this figure.
I'm barely comment on any vid and I dont know much about camera or set up. But I feel like I'm not watching a video, it's like I was standing there chatting with you about the figure. The experience is amazing. Your vid is really helpful to let ppl know if the figure worth buying for them. Love your work. Thanks you and wish you the best.
To echo what others have said already, thank you for yet another terrific unboxing and review video! Your presentation and humor are always on point. I especially love the way you break things down and sharing your genuine opinion on each. Even if I don't know the character featured, I still enjoy watching the video.
Amazing review as always man, I can't wait to get her! I'm glad the box is small, this helps with International shipping. The base is good enough, a diorama would add 10k more probably like eStream figures lol The latest fate release by Amakuni has a classic clear summoning circle while this one has a more unique base 🔥
pretty much every single scale figure theoretically wont pass our kastam since they exceed rm500 including shipping. Though I use roundabout methods to avoid it as much as I can. To me the problem isn't the tax, it is the hassle u need to go through to pay them and collect your parcel.
Thank you! The method i use is not cheap, and quite the roundabout way, but at least i avoid kastam. I buy from amazon Japan or Mandarake Japan (their domestic Japan site, not the international one) and ship it to Tenso.com's address. Tenso is a proxy service / forwarder. Then i use tenso to underdeclare the value and forward the parcel to me - the shipping costs aren't cheap. When you buy from domestic Japanese sites and you ship to a Japanese address, they assume you are a mainland Japanese and you get hit with a 10% GST during checkout. So I'm quite the traitor for paying Japan government taxes but not willing to do so to the Malaysian government. Because, to me, the problem isn't the money. It's the way how taxes are collected. Convenience issues. If i can pay my taxes online with just a few clicks in Poslaju parcel tracking site, i will gladly pay the 10% SST. So far only DHL does this. But with our Malaysian outdated system where you have to drive all the way to kastam office, waste my annual leaves from work, and queue for hours to pay tax, I'm not going to do that. You can pay an agent in Poslaju to help you pay taxes and collect the parcel but that comes with a hefty service charge. That's why I'd rather avoid our kastam altogether. One more way to reduce the risk of having to pay for taxes is to buy your figures from Taobao. Sometimes i do that for readily in stock figures that were released some times ago.
@@swarleyzz the best way is to buy from taobao if the cost of taxes is your concern, but they are not in stock as early as Japanese sites. You'll have to edit a month or two after release. However, from what i heard, our tax collection system will change for the better starting this April, assuming there are no delays. If the system is convenient enough I'll just buy things the old school way from amiami and ship it straight to my doorstep, while paying taxes online.

I love that you remain a polka face when making the "long and thick joke". Haha, love your content. She is gorgeous, a real goddess-tier figure.

Thank you, and I'm glad you found this video helpful
Striking figure, love how much the white stands out and the face is cheeky and epic!
It's awesome to found a new youtuber who make a video of my hobby, coming from the same country too. You've earned a sub from me.
Thank you! Welcome aboard
