Buying ALI EXPRESS $4-5 Anime Figures // Demon Slayer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- I bought $4-5 anime figures from Aliexpress to see if there are worth it, the results may just amaze you!
When on a budget websites like Aliexpress offer affordable anime figures, with a massive range of anime merchandise and memorabilia.
I wanted to see just how good, or bad these would be so I ordered 6 $4-5 anime figures from demon slayer (kimetsu no yaiba) to test this out.

i never expected ali express to be this unique!
usually people get scaled or funny things may happen like in wish video!!
this one was pretty neat too!
good presentation and loved the figures!
Haha yeah I was surprised I got everything I ordered 😅 and so happy with them acrylic stands 😁
It's funny how all those crappy bootleg figures gets blown away by my klee bootleg figure from genshin impact. I know that the character is made by Chinese so I'm not entirely sure if it's easier for them to make a decent bootleg. But then again even I've seen Japanese anime characters bootleg figures have good ones too. That one I have cost me $24.50 ($25.50 +shipping) while the original figure actually cost about $122. I'm actually surprised how great looking that klee bootleg figure looked like. It's somewhat similar except for some very minor differences mainly the original has finer paint and has more detail. But for the price of the bootleg it looks amazing. Also its isn't just a normal size figure it's 1/7 size figure. I kinda wanna see you review it because it actually looks decent. I bought from shopee though. I'm not sure if the prices would be different from where your from. And the shipping too might be different. The seller was anime and toys world. Seeing the online store I already know it had bootlegs but atleast they klee wasn't as bad.
Some bootlegs I have seen and people have shown me are indeed amazing at low cost its not bad finding out its a boot leg but when cost ramps up and some even similar price to the resly thing can really catch people out and leave you disappointed
If you buy like anime merchandise and don't have a ton of money aliexpress isn't bad at all.
Agreed have also said this in other vids, if you know they are not great but that is all you can afford to get then 100% get it, I love the acrylic stand figures from aliexpress though they are not official they are still great.
Everyone has their own budget for me this is also why I don't buy scale figures and just buy prize figures. Thank you for the comment have a great day!
Do you know any official Demon Slayer figure brands?
U just have to get lucky sometimes or look for a good seller
Definitely seems like bootleg figures are getting better, these ones can just about pass the "across the room test" some of the older bootlegs I have are so bad that you can notice how bad they are even at a decently far away distance.
Do you know any official Demon Slayer figure brands?
@liamzroblox939 you have banpresto and sega, chibimasters also do some, there are demon slayer q pockets, funkos and more lots of official brands that sell demon slayer
Thanks a lot, I'm trying to find some and I'm willing to spend over 50 bucks as long as it doesnt come in looking like these XD@@TwistedGeek
As long as theyre licensed and everything im happy, thanks a lot again@@TwistedGeek
@liamzroblox939 no worries just don't expect to find them on AliExpress though, as I doubt you will find official on there
thanks, i was unsure whether or not to buy figures from there but now i think i will :)
Cool happy the vide was helpful to you 😀
Hi im from belgium thank you for making this video because i wanted to buy some anime stuff on aliexpress and now i now how it looks and the quality and btw you have a new sub
Thank you, and I am glad this has been helpful to you 😊☺️
I get those Slam dunk, one piece, my favorite Chinese drama characters figures as Word of honor, Mu dao zu shi (the untamed) they’re all good qualities I’m happy to have them
good video! needed to watch a review before buying so thanks for this
Not a problem glad it was helpful 😊
Can’t believe how cheap the postage is from China!!
Yeah in comparison to what it costs to ship the other way
I only have 2 action figures,one is paimon from genshin impact and the other is shinobu from demon slayer and I must say that i got shinobu from ali express and paimon from daraz and it's safe to say that ali express is way better in terms of quality cuz nothing came broken I'm on a really tight budget and I'm thinking of getting another figure for my birthday but all of them are way to expensive so i like to always check the reviews for the cheap ones. I would like to ask that which character from demon slayer is a must have for your collection? (I know it depends on the person buying it but i want to get a bit of advice from you guys as well)
For me nezuko or tanjiro is my go to from demon slayer I do like alot of the other characters but alot of the figures I have seen I am more drawn to these ones.
I am looking to do a video soon (depending on delivery times) of items from Temu, which is everywhere lately it seems and see what they are like for price, quality and shipping.
Another thing is if you can acrylic stand figures on ali express all the ones I have had have been perfect and so much cheaper than the ones in stores and quality is just as good, in my experience anyways :)
@@TwistedGeek thank you so much!
You have no idea how often i return to your channel for advice from your videos
Thank you 😊 I am glad they have helped you 😊
probably easier to get quality acrylic stands since its just printed on acrylic sheets and cut out, versus the bootleg figures when the molding or casting is imperfect and the paint job is quick and sloppy to get these really mass produced by hand
Yeah definitely easiy but the upside as well is that from what incan see they are using a quality printer as well as these stands have alot of detail and colour vibrancy 😊
controversial opinion but i think the quality of aliexpress figurines are good for the price
I agree some are amazing on budge some for me personally not so much, but on a budget if this is all you can get I highly recommend the acrylic stand figures from aliexpress all I have had have been amazing, with thr exception of 1 loose base
Nice video thank you!!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😀
Again, i also have the nezuko figure as well as Zenitsu and giyu. The paint job was pretty poor for me too so I repainted some of the little details to make it better!
I did start a project of repainting nezuko like I have done with a fake funko pop, but the base coat paint a bought (most expensive one I have ever gotten) was horrible and ended up ruining the figure so was a video I had to give up on.
Thank you for watching 😀
I enjoyed the video, if you do another maybe you can also compare the figure to the picture of the figure listed on Ali Express as well.
I see Kirito and Asuna in the back, that is an automatic sub from me. Once I got a bootleg Shinobu and it came out just like the Zenitsu you got here. 😂
Thank you for the sub! Yeah I do like my sao, I recommend the ex-chronicle figure set for sao the detail on them for the price is very good, sinon is amazing
@Twisted Geek I definitely gotta get some SAO figures for sure. Thanks for the recommendation.
No worries 👍 ☺️
I have a lot of acrylic stands from Ali-express but I refused to buy the figures from them
Yeah the stands are perfect in my opinion...figures not so much
i mean $5 for that nezuko is insanely good, if you are any good at painting all you need is the base model and just fix it you literally can flip models for a fortune
Always had the intention of repairing loads of them and doing videos of the process, as I have done a couple where I have repainted a fake funko pop or made a custom base, definitely on the cards to still do at some point :)
@@TwistedGeek yeah its such a good idea
you can definitely fix the paintjob on these and they would look 1000x better.
I have been meaning to do that but so fsr have only done it with a deku fake funko pop
I dog on Banpresto for their lack of QC...I think I'll go a little easier on them after watching this xD
Haha , definitely and banprestos quality control is 1000x better than funkos QC, as much as I love anime funkos, QC is terrible.
Thanks for watching 🙂
go for taito figure for much greater qc
Yeah they do have some nice ones 😀
@@deruzym84 Yeah I've been buying Taito figures nowadays really good quality can't fault them
I know this is an old video but I was wondering if you had the Aliexpress links to the acrylic figures!!
I will have a look and see if they are still active and get back to you soon
I have found the links, not something I want to post in comments for spam reasons so hit me up on Instagram or twitter and I can share them with you
@@TwistedGeek Will do!! Thank you :)
I bought a whole set of the demon Slayer knockoffs on Christmas I was pretty impressed Ig it's just cus I'm a beginner
For the cost on a budget they do the job and still allow you to collect, and if you know they knockoffs then it doesn't matter as you know what your getting and can still enjoy them. 😊
Very gud video!
Thank you 😊
'Stunning' is the last word I would use to describe acrylic stands. I don't get the appeal of them. 🤔
For me if you get high quality print versions they have more detail than a prize figure, way way cheaper and take up alot less space, so they have their pros, though I can understand why people may not like them as much as 3d normal figures, I love both 😀
💙
thanks for watching :)
I did buy Godzilla action figures from them it was cheap and bootleg but I knew that only problem is it took way to long to ship to me which had me scared and China and states well they take 24 hours to get a message lol so whenever I got message back it was 2,3 am which is ok different time zones and then I was scared 😨 to they sometimes don't understand English lol
Times can be tricky have waited a few months before but one thing they are nor.ally good at is refunding you
Aliexpress prices are lower bc they work directly with manufacturers in china instead of selling and selling and selling an item to someone before you buy it from them. For quadruple the price.
And truth be told so far as someone who buy electronics (mostly cosmetics), anime figures/toys, anime clothing (mostly custom designs) they are pretty good quality.
I've order over 20 times and touch wood I've only had 1 item i was dissatisfied with.
Also i want to mention that they don't have everything. If you are an old school anime fan from the 90s early 2000-2004 you can find an item or two but don't expect to find literally everything.
This is why i do a lot of custom t-shirts.
Also when it comes to figures I've gotten shaman king, demon slayer, my hero, chainsaw man.
They are all good.
That will be why wish.com is crazy prices these days.
For what tpu pay for these they are good but are by no means perfect and lack in alot of ways when side by side of an official one.
But though I find how some of them look to be funny, I have always believed you have to work within your budget you have.
This is why I don't buy scales, as its outside of my budget, but prize figures are within it.
I think I have only ever had 1 order not turn up from ali express.
Going to be trying Temu soon since its the new kid on the block so need to test it out :)
Thank you for the comment 😊
This website is banned in my country 🗿
Ah bit of a shame, I know they don't sell all legit things but they still have some good items on there
@@TwistedGeek not bcoz of that, it's because of China
AliExpress soft figure or Hard Figure need help can any one help me thanks
You meaning the different material figures such as plastic vs resin?
i am new to this figure i like to order one of figure but it say soft figure or Hard Figure and i don't know the difference is @@TwistedGeek
hi , I'm from vietnam
Hi there 😊 thank you for watching from Vietnam 😁
Don't you wanna test purchase berserk stuff from ali, so I don't have to?
Could definitely look into so berserk items from there, never bought berserk figures or merch before, so is definitely an idea for a future video :)
Sonetimes you can reale Good Figures for minimal money,Check the buyer rewiev Pictures 👌
True and this is what I am liking about temu, new video today, as they show the figure as is on the last photo, and loads of image reviews to double check :)
But I don't mind going cheap on this guy's I'm not into it but as a figure collector I enjoy them so I don't know what to look for but price range speaks to me now alot sellers scalpers are going here and selling way to high on market eBay and so on so I told one off he was speechless lol no harm
Yeh have noticed that before, used to be some great places on ebay direct from Japan as well but they way postage has went it went from being very cost effective to paying more due to crazy high postage
I have 200 of them to sell.
That is definitely a while lot!
Do you have the links? I can't find some of them 😭
I don't sorry, when clicking on my order it looks like the shop/items.are no longer for sale. Unfortunately have had this happen a few times on aliexpress which is a shame
@@TwistedGeek it is, really
🫤
I think they maybe get shut down with them not being official products so then they wait and reliability them under another name, fro. What I have seen, so give it some time and you might see them again or try wish.com :)
@@TwistedGeek alright! Thank you anyways
No worries, sorry I couldn't be of more help
Have you seen Wish lol
Stopped using wish as thier postage prices sky rocketed in comparison to aliexpress
cries in broke and $0 money i dont have any anime figure at all and i dont have a job beaceas im 15 its so hard i need a job
When you do get a job or do get spare money there is definitely alot of places you can get some anime merch and figures at a good price as not to break the bank, I would recommend the acrylic stand figures from ali express or mystery minis from funko pop as they will cost you about $3-6 dollars compared to $30 for a real prize figure.
@@TwistedGeek thanks for helping
No worries 👍
I’m a anime fan since I was 13-14. Now I’m 22 and got my first anime Figur last year. I think that I appreciate my Figures more because I waited so long. There is a lot of merchandise that is cheaper then figures! Just buy what you can afford and don’t stress about it. You can always start to build your perfect nerd room when you can afford it. Sorry about my English it’s not my first language.
I agree you do what you can on what budget you have if that's other cheaper merch or bootlegs till the time you can get the ones you really want. People hate bootlegs and believe you should never buy them but that is also normally people who have the extra money to pay...or are the people selling them
We can only afford what we can and there is nothing wrong with that :)
,,💙
Thank you for watching 😀
A world full of fakes...
（偽物が世にはばかる）
yeah loads of fakes, but the fakes do have their place and some are great, the acrylic figure stands from ali express are very impressive
@@TwistedGeek Thank you.
I see that not all products are fake on AliExpress.
Figures are getting more expensive these days, but I want to buy real ones.
Understandable, and yeah not everything in there is fake, but I am also the same.with figures, I like to see the difference between these fakes and the real ones but I prefer getting the real prize figures and displaying them.
But a still aliexpress is great if you have a lower budget and still want that character...juat have to accept that the quality will not always be the best....though there are exceptions
Cant b real bro
I am fairly sure I am a real boy 🤔
