The level of detail in this review is nothing I've ever seen before. An absolutely stunning watch, a hidden gem amongst figurine reviewers. Thank you for the experience and hopefully, you'll get the recognition you deserve.
I started playing Automata 5 years late and I can already say that this is one of the best games I’ve ever played. I plan to order 2b when it’s back on stock.
I don't ever spend $200 on a figurine, I'm not a collector or even an amateur collector. However, I loved playing the game, Nier kicks major booty AND her figurine looks GREAT....I'm spending the $250 and putting an order in for Nier's figurine, watching this review video sealed the deal for me.
@@TsusStuff .....yes sir, looked at the one you reviewed by Flare, and they want $497!! Yikes!! Square Enix has theirs for $189.56. I'm pretty sure the Square Enix is not made of PVC and it does not come with the alternative maskless face and the skirtless option. Weighing my options.
Idk I appreciate the figure or the review more. Great review. You point out every single detail of the figure that I have never seen anything like that in other channels
@@TsusStuff Yes! My time and money very well spent, don't regret it at all! My country doesn't listed as official SE shipment, I wait almost a year for her to come 😅
I just bought this today and it will be here on Thursday! I originally held off because I didn't think it was worth the price... but watching this video and showing off all the details changed my mind. Excellent video review!
It's alright I don't mind the likeness of face sculpt being inaccurate since 2B's official designs from the original character design to original 2D arts to the in game model differs from each other. I really like the artist's spin on it and it makes it unique. I am gonna get this figure from amiami. This figure just looks glorious.
Great review , very detailed . Got this when it was released luckily to have it before price started skyrocketing. Still havent opened mine , but maybe soon if i have a great cabinet for her :)
Thanks for the video! I will be getting this soon whenever Square decides to stop delaying it 🥲 I decided to cancel my playarts and go for the Flare's because I realized I just really don't like those types of figures. Let's pray they release an A2 figure someday 🥰
I agree, there was a point in time where I loved the Play Arts, but these solid figures with seamless details won me over. I think you've made the right decision! Yes, I too will be crossing my fingers for A2!!
Oh, thank god you include detailed dimension of the figure. Mine is gonna arrive in around a month and I've been trying to find a suitable table top case for it. Didn't realize how wide it is with the sword. Would a 25x25 base be good for her?
I'm glad you were able to get some context in the dimensions! 25x25cm space will be good for her to stand inside of but the sword will stick out and over the edge of those dimensions a bit. As for including POD 042 in that space, it may not be enough room for both of them to share.
@@diocub4022 You actually just reminded me. Unfortunately, it is waitlisted now, but I will link an update here when I find another one on the secondary market. Thanks for asking!
@@TsusStuff no problems man, I bought mine 3 days ago, says it's coming today. I just wanted to see you're take on it since you critique it without bias and straight to the point with positives and negatives. Anyways appreciate the reply and update.
@@diocub4022 I hope it came in okay and you are enjoying the figure! I'm glad you noticed that I try to steer from any biases! As to give you guys the most honest impressions I have.
Square enix is really bad at bring arts and play arts figure of 2B. This's the best quality and affordable one from them. May be because they partnership with other company. They should really consider this in future. Btw nice review. I like your explanation on who or what company made this. Most videos doesn't really talk about creators. I'm saving money. Hopefully to get the one next year.
The figure's clothing is sculpted and painted so well, that I thought this figure was some sort of figma the whole time with movable body parts (particularly the arms and legs). Slightly disappointed they don't actually move, but well, its seems to be an amazing figure
I've had the play arts one. The PlayArts version, is not a terrible figure by any means. It's the 200usd price point combined with the fact that the joints feel like they could snap putting her into some positions, is kinda scary. The face sculpt is more accurate on the PlayArts though.
The quality of the figure is high and i don't know why you say the un masked head is not faithful to the game her face looks exactly like her in the game i dont know why you pointed out that as a negative
Hi, i hope u can see my comment cuz i really need help. I just bought the re-release of this 2b figure but i have difficulties changing the torso. I've tried using hair dryer to heat it up but it still wont come off, is there any advise?
Wow nice review, she's on pre-order again and I am so confused if I will get her standard figure or the deluxe one. I only want the extra head and the pod honestly so I don't know if the price difference is worth it.
@@smoothie01 I got it from Shopee. It's an online shop, the figure is from China. Here's my vid of that figure: ruclips.net/video/fUbaHypK41U/видео.html
Well one thing I don’t like about 2b deluxe. Maybe this problem is present on the standard as well. Getting the sword handle in her grip is very nerve wracking. I gave up puttin it in. have seen it as possible to do. On video with another YT reviewer(tho).
So i got this one years ago when it first launched. Now I see A2 popup. I bought the dx version of 2B so I want to buy the dx version of A2 as well. To my surprise though the DX is 329 euro. Wtf is Square smoking? The regular statue is 194 euro as well. I feel like they are just trying to squeeze as much money out of their fans as possible, such a greedy move. For now I am skipping the A2 figure since the diorama of Prime 1 is coming. But I hope there will be a 2nd run of A2 like they did with 2B cuz I am not getting her the first time around I think.
Your definition of bishoujo is a little shallow. The term is just pretty anime girls in general, Sailor Moon / Magical girls in general are Bishoujo, would you say those are not family friendly?
As much as I love 2B (one of my favorite anime/game character) and the Nier automata franchise, I don't think this small figure is worth $200+, Yes I collect tons of figures and books and know very well how to be irresponsibly spend money but $200 for this figure is not it.
Is it just me but does the face seem slightly different. Like ever so slightly. I would assume this is what it looks like since when the director reviewed a figure which consisted of all 3 at a whopping 2000 dollars and the face looked just like this one. He had nothing to say. But I just can't shake off the feeling the one in game looks a little different when you put it side by side. The eyes on the figure seems slightly higher up and the face is slightly longer. I might just be seeing things but oh well
It's not just you, she does have a younger face on this figure compared to the official videogame stock images as well as in-game footage. It becomes more obvious when seen side-by-side, which I should've put an overlay comparing the two.
@@TsusStuff it's really a shame. It does look very nice but there is another figure from square and it's the arts Kai collection. The face is almost 1 to 1 and you can move the positions of the figure. Only things is that the join areas have very distinct "lines" which puts me off especially if you decide to take off the skirt or have her knees bend. If only they done the face on the art Kai collection on this. But I guess u can't have everything in the world
@@johnnywang6635 Yeah, I love her face on the kai figure, but I hate joint figures so I settled for Flare's. If it wasn't for the face the Flare would be perfect 😭
@@johnnywang6635 Yeah I have the same feelings, I actually go with the Kai one, because I the accuracy of the face and the pose ability is more appealing for me and I want a 2B figure and not a figure of someone cosplaying her. I was so confused when people said the Flair one is accurate to the game, when I didn't see it.
@@marcok.1214 dunno. Play arts look pretty low compared to flare. Her headsculpt looks sketchy and like a melted plastic. Her joints are just....ugly. I'll take flare over that anyday because accuracy isn't a big of a deal because flare did their own spin in it and headsculpt looks stellar to me even though it's not game accurate. The sheer amount of details and the dynamic pose is incomparable with a figure like play arts.

honestly this is the gold standard of reviews, well done! amazing.
Man, too bad that you're not doing anymore reviews. Hands down best quality content as far as statue/figure reviews go
What a meticulous review. Thank you so much, can't wait for her to arrive now.
I don't ever spend $200 on a figurine, I'm not a collector or even an amateur collector. However, I loved playing the game, Nier kicks major booty AND her figurine looks GREAT....I'm spending the $250 and putting an order in for Nier's figurine, watching this review video sealed the deal for me.

@@dceballos067 The 220$ deluxe version is still available at Square Enix's store, I've left the link in the description under the video.

Thank you for the kind words! I'm still trying to improve the format and make them easier to watch!
I've ordered this (regular version) and just arrive yesterday. Maaaan, I love this figure so much!
She's a beauty right!? Great quality out of this form factor!
@@TsusStuff Yes! My time and money very well spent, don't regret it at all!

I just bought this today and it will be here on Thursday! I originally held off because I didn't think it was worth the price... but watching this video and showing off all the details changed my mind. Excellent video review!
Her scale is 1/6. The figure measures at 28cm height according to myfigurecollection, which is exactly 1/6 of 2B's canon height of 168cm.
the best figure 👍
She really is gorgeous!
Very thorough review
Oh man, great review! Love the overall presentation here. Looking forward for more reviews!
Good video mate well done 👍

I am gonna get this figure from amiami. This figure just looks glorious.
It looks great and also an above and behind video.
So glad I picked up 2B deluxe on the second run.
On the subject, Flare just released A2 in this series.
Yeah definitely might preorder that a2 to go along
Great review , very detailed .
Got this when it was released luckily to have it before price started skyrocketing.
Still havent opened mine , but maybe soon if i have a great cabinet for her :)
Yes! Fortunately, the window box is really good too! She looks good still inside the packaging.
@@TsusStuff yes box is quite huge :D she is still here in the closet. Waiting on p1

Very good review, subbed :D
you earned a sub! I saw prime 1 geralt, I saw a man of culture
Yes, us Witcher fans have taste! Honored for the sub as I'm very excited to share some projects that I have finished and uploaded!
I hope you guys enjoy this video!
Btw by chance did you buy the second edition run as you have stated in the video and see comparison, because I would love to see 👀 😉 😀 😄.

ngl, 2B is worth everything.
The figure's clothing is sculpted and painted so well, that I thought this figure was some sort of figma the whole time with movable body parts (particularly the arms and legs). Slightly disappointed they don't actually move, but well, its seems to be an amazing figure
1/7 is not really an oddball scale, it's pretty much the standard scale for Japanese PVC figures.
Currently fighting over the option of going for this version or the play arts one. From what I've seen the play arts one has many issues
I've had the play arts one. The PlayArts version, is not a terrible figure by any means. It's the 200usd price point combined with the fact that the joints feel like they could snap putting her into some positions, is kinda scary. The face sculpt is more accurate on the PlayArts though.

2B looks slightly older..
Her left arm looks a bit weird. I don't know if it's just the angle they've posed it in, but it looks too long to me.
Hi, i hope u can see my comment cuz i really need help. I just bought the re-release of this 2b figure but i have difficulties changing the torso. I've tried using hair dryer to heat it up but it still wont come off, is there any advise?
i can't wait my 2b come home, btw do u pre order 9s ?? I will skip 9s for A2 and kaine
You're gonna LOVE 2B! Both regular and deluxe versions of 9s is available on the official Square Enix store, I should have a link down below.
Link to the company that sells theses?
Wow nice review, she's on pre-order again and I am so confused if I will get her standard figure or the deluxe one. I only want the extra head and the pod honestly so I don't know if the price difference is worth it.
I really like this figure. I got the Bootleg one. Hope I could own the Authentic version soon. New Subscriber here.
Bootleg one? From where?
@@smoothie01 I got it from Shopee. It's an online shop, the figure is from China.
Here's my vid of that figure:

What gloves do you use to handle your figures
I bought this figure I pre order and it never got sent or shipped and then the invoice disappeared from my shop app
Well one thing I don’t like about 2b deluxe. Maybe this problem is present on the standard as well.
Getting the sword handle in her grip is very nerve wracking. I gave up puttin it in. have seen it as possible to do. On video with another YT reviewer(tho).
She is a little tease, haha
Bro i ordered her like a year ago and im still waiting for it to come 😐
Why is the manufacturer so unreliable
So i got this one years ago when it first launched. Now I see A2 popup. I bought the dx version of 2B so I want to buy the dx version of A2 as well. To my surprise though the DX is 329 euro. Wtf is Square smoking? The regular statue is 194 euro as well. I feel like they are just trying to squeeze as much money out of their fans as possible, such a greedy move. For now I am skipping the A2 figure since the diorama of Prime 1 is coming. But I hope there will be a 2nd run of A2 like they did with 2B cuz I am not getting her the first time around I think.

seems like her sexuality was toned down from the game. I remember her being more thicker in the game
