- It's time for another Anime Figure Preorder Roundup. I'm still waiting on Mio but it seems like it won't be for much longer. In the meantime, Good Smile Company, Max Factory, FREEing, Alter, and plenty others are bringing quite a lot to the table. Oh and Gacha is still dominating the market. Boy howdy they are sure tempting.

The Akane figure has 3 versions with different extras on Amiami. The basic one is only 18k, 20k is the middle price point.
Dang I wasted all that time talkin about it when you could just get the faceplate on AmiAmi lol
I came here to the comments to say the same thing. The faceplate is also available on good smile US as the "special version" and also comes with an acrylic tablet with screenshots from the show.
@@meimeihughes I had a feeling she would be on the US store. I think something similar happened with the Taiga figure that recently went up. Weird regional restrictions and whatnot
Kohai’s Collection did a great video about the Yoshitoku x F:NEX collabs where they compared a couple F:NEX ones to real a Yoshitoku doll. Granted there is a fair bit of speculation, but it’s still worth a watch if you’re curious about how they compare.
Great roundup! The gacha figures have me in a straight up chokehold at this point haha. I’m hoping that we’ll start seeing some Wuthering Waves figures soon as well since it’s releasing later this month. Their character design is freakin peak! Yinlin is such a mommy.
I can see it happening
"I hope this swimsuit will not cause any issues". Ah I see Hina is familiar with Canadian customs.
lul true
I'm normally not one to really preorder stuff, but man the Amiya sold me. Though I'm still not trusting Shanghai Arts a lot that is mainly because of the leaning issues the figures by them tend to have. Since no such potential is here I'm really looking forward to this one. I just love those eyes.
Also tried my luck with Goodsmile Europe first time for that cheap shipping and the preorder bonus. So let's see how this will end.
Also thought about the Claynel Frieren, but for some reason AmiAmi doesn't ship her to where I live which is kinda strange. I do also think while I really love the sculpt and think she probably has the best face yet the colors are just a bit too flat and I really want to see how the Goodsmile one turns out first before anything.
Great video btw. Always enjoy hearing you talk about your monthly highlights.
AmiAmi not shipping her is maybe due to Claynel or Aniplex? I don't know why they'd restrict sales in the first place though. But yeah I have a feeling when GSC shows their Frieren colored it will impress
Yeah, it's odd no matter how you look at it.
Anyway, let's wait and see. Definitely looking forward to the Goodsmile one.
another amazing video from Zucco! thank u sm for all of the work u put into pre-order round ups. i rlly enjoy watching them😊❤
The Cheshire figures is beautiful 😍 Im obsessed with cats so I love cat girls. She's so expensive though 😭
Good chance she'll drop in price like most Alter Azur Lane figures
I preordered Zundamon she’s my first popup parade I’ve decided since I have her mini figure and a acrylic stand from my fave Zundamon song (Zunda party night) I’ve decided to collect her hope she doesn’t suddenly get a million over priced scales.
I can see her getting a few more figures at the very least
I really love the roundups, look forward to watching them every month on my off days.
Great roundup as always. These are just my comfort videos. Btw, I would love it if you could maybe linke the music you'te using as BGM in the description or something. I really like the music you're picking and I would love to know where it's from (presumably games most of the time).
I'll try and remember to do that from now on
1:14:26, her gloves aren't fishnet, they're lace. Really similar in design to a lot of like, lingerie bra/bralettes that have lace, and stockings are made with it sometimes too(Think fem!Byleth's leggings) but it's not *fishnet...* It's not a very important difference, but in circles more centered around fashion it's a more important distinction. She also appears to be wearing a corset styled top which...I have no *idea* what it must be boned* with to the supporting her like it is, but that is some *strong stuff.*
*Corsets tend to have bars inside them, either steel or plastic for cheaper ones, to help them keep their shape. Fun fact, they were originally designed to help with posture and not waist training.
1:20:56 I think she just doesn't like working out. She's not happy to be working out. I can't say I blame her.
Yeah that makes sense. I see that pattern so often in these videos that I just default to fishnets lol. appreciate the comment
haha I wondered why you called that dress light blue when its purple. I was questioning if I was colour blind 😆
Think I gotta fix my monitor or something lol
16:14 I have about 6 Megumin figures and a Nendroid and this one will be my first with her normal outfit. Never really liked any of the other ones enough to order or they were too expensive. Her being 1/6 instead of 1/7 really sealed the deal for me. Also managed to dodge paying import taxes because a 1000 yen coupon from CDjapan pushed me under the limit.
Is there a reason why CDjapan is currently about 2000 yen cheaper compared to AmiAmi for most figures ? Mostly switched from AmiAmi to them thanks to that.
I dont think I commented on the size but that definitely helps my issue with the price
love these preorder round ups!!
The zero two prototype pop up parade actually looks really clean and colors are awesome...but as you said...won't know until the real product comes to the shop
Never heard of love live superstars but all 5 of them together look super cute oml its like 1grand for them all tho 😮
That Miku was adorable, the color and food but the cup could have been metallic golden. I still prefer her previous strawberry 15th ann version.
I regret not POing the FMA figure when it had a really good deal. Maybe I will idk yet, have a couple stuff already
When is there not an Azure Lane figure for PO jc lol
29:56 that part without the image.. I like the CAKE 🍰
The Nikke one just make me worried for my Wallet when the same company release Eve from Stellar Blade in all of her different outfits o.0
I wonder which company will be the first to announce an Eve figure
Im going to preorder that Miku on a cake. It doesn't come out for a year so I have plenty of time to save at least.
Ive only bought Miku figures so far. But I really want the Spiritale Korone and cat girl figures like Chocola. And an Albedo because I love her black wings. And a Freeing Bunny girl. The one in pink coming out in future looks really good.
As a chick I would feel weird having figures on my shelf that look lewd with huge booba. The armpit fetish thing is so weird 😆 I never knew that was an erogenous zone until I got into anime figures
I love how you roast Hane Ame's figure HAHAHA
Changing clothes Sophie is super cute.
The Zero Two reminds me that... there aren't actually that many pilot suit Zero Two. The best one is probably the Kotobukiya which is fine but only fine, there aren't a grail level one. Kinda weird given how many high quality figure of her in other, even non-canonical, outfit there are.
Volume... No idea why she got a figure this early, I don't think she's particularly popular. Personally I'm waiting for Scarlet and maybe Rapi.
But at least she's a proper character. What really puzzles me is the Amamiya-sensei. She's from an adult series where, afaik, she wasn't even in the source material and was added for like 5 second in the animation.
Mt.Lady canonically show off her assets for publicity in order to boost her hero ranking etc. I considered getting her, but ultimately didn't.
Regarding the fabric JP doll figures. Someone actually looked into it and.... the actual dolls(from the maker whom they partner these figures with), which are each custom crafted (as opposed to those who are mass produced) are actually much cheaper.... So basically it's a rip off.
I dont know much about Nikke but my guess is that Max Factory had a say in which character they wanted to make a figure for and chose Volume. Probably just liked her design which is fair lol.
Honestly I'm not surprised that the fabric figures are a ripoff but it sucks to get a confirmation on it
I have all of the Xenoblade figures and made sure to have enough space for the 1:7scale Mio. The Noshiro maid figure is a must have for me but I might bookmark it and wait for release because a lot of figures go on sale or show up on the pre owned market.
have a lot off Azure Lane figures, the heavy/full arms ver look amazing but can be expensive but they have a lot of competition for top tier figures with Arknights and Blue Archive which I also get figures from.
Mio wont fit on my current xenofigure shelf but I have a plan for when I move. Noshiro will prob drop in price so waiting makes sense. I don't see alot of buzz for her
1:10:20 "No butt for you" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Asuna and Volume? Max Factory is hitting hard this month.
hey i'm on your ship about the marie figure, when I first saw i did find her face not looking too much like her aswell. For the frieren one on the other side i'm a bit disappointed that we only have simple standing pose from her, I wish someone would take risks and present us a more dynamic pose. The Hina figure considering the price looks like a very good deal especially if you're a fan of BA and Hina herself. To end this comment I will agree aswell with you on the Kaguya figure, and I would even say based on these photos she looks a bit like a prize figure which is a shame.
I'm sure someone will come around with a more dynamic Frieren but I couldn't tell ya which company is gonna do it
Yooooooo we in there!! And just in time for lunch
I'm waiting for the GSC Frieren, I love the ring and the concept of looking back while traveling ahead. I really do like the Kaiju No. 8 Kotobukiya figures, especially Reno's (it puts the PUPs to shame)... been tempted to order with the bonus head that has no mask, he just looks so good. But Soshiro Hoshina is my favorite, followed by Gen Namuri. (I am a manga reader) I highly recommend the series!
I'm def gonna check it out eventually. Also crap I forgot to look at the bonus faceplates. Usually I remember
@@ZuccoFiguresNice, you'll have to throw it in there what you think about the series eventually! Yes, I did notice you forgot it, it happens :)
Ken getting rerealese just makes me hope touka gets one too if she gets it im pre-ordering it 1st min,i wanted to buy her pre-owned but now i will hope and wait for the re-realese
That Annette figure is too cute I’m probably not gonna preorder her and just try to pick her up after release.
Really love both Frierens but the second one is def ❤
19:20 The "Thanos knife" is a letter opener. She's also releasing in just six months. That's a rather aggressive schedule, so here's to hoping for no delays.
Six months used to be the standard back in the good ole days but yeah I can see them pushing her back a month or two
@@ZuccoFiguresGood point. The delays due to COVID have warped my sense of release times.
Dang, I was not expecting that super cheap price will be. picking her up then
48:41 that was unexpected 😂
That Mio is such a great deal. Was going to order best Xenoblade girl anyways but that price is👌
GSC treating us well
i want someone to make a frieren figure in her final boss pose
Just preordered Holo. She will be my second ever figure.
congrats!
What’s your opinion on the Punishing: Gray Raven Lamia - Lost Lullaby 1/7 figure? It went up for pre-order April 4th I believe, and am curious for your opinion!! I love your pre-order round up videos and like how you break down prices. The Lamia figure is only 8’800 yen which is SHOCKING for the scale and sculpt in my opinion…
I'm wondering why I missed that one? I dont think I've seen it before. Was she listed on the typical store sites or was she more limited?
@@ZuccoFiguresShe’s listed on AmiAmi, and it says on the site that she’s exclusive to it! I remember seeing her and wondering what the quality is gonna be based on the price.
@@disgustingsalad Ah yeah I see her now. Certainly an insane value in today's market though a little hard for me to determine quality as I'm unfamiliar with who's making her. Hard to really argue against her though when her outfits a bit complex(despite how little there is lol) with a cool trident and some neat wave effects
she's made by the game company so no licensing fees, plus they're a chinese company and they have experience manufacturing their own merch
I pre-ordered 3 Aru nendoroids
I'm loving all the Azur Lane figures! I preordered the Noshiro: Hold the Ice version. Big fan of maid girls and I love the originality of her maid outfit. Hoping she turns out just as nice as the prototype. The Cheshire scale is gorgeous as well, but she looks like she'll take up a lot of space. I always look forward to your preorder round ups! You're awesome, Zucco!
If they released a Yoshitoku X F:NEX Taiga do you think you would pick it up? Or would you not be able to justify the price?
I couldn't justify it for the Sakura version that came out not long ago 😅
I REALLY don't want to think about that reality lol. I don't think I could do it though. Maybe if talking about figures was my job or the channel grew alot by the time that happened. Sounds like a pretty big tax write off though...
0:37 if I didn’t have Figma TOTK Link DXhaunting my mid-2025 Po I would hit the PO so fast it’s unreal
1:23 I considered buying him for my Yu-Gi-Oh Nendoroid but like. Nah. Not with that price. He looks fantastic but that’s not in my budget. I’m think the price may have to do with the yen struggling currently.
2:59 there’s something hilarious about the audacity of issuing another Zero 2 that looks leagues better in promo pics after the other one. I do think this one will come out better than the previous Zero 2 solely because I’ve seen more positive reviews for the larger ones (usually)
4:34 I had her figma on PO & I lowkey regret canceling it. I think her outfit would have been so fun to pose and losing the bonus face place is painful but. Oh well
10:31 you’re correct but I’m pretty sure she’s got a posable figure somewhere and if she does I think I’d rather pay the yen towards that. I feel like she’s too short to justify keeping the price too
12:15 the ones with the fluff look so much better because of that fluff imho and I wish they’d kept with it for the whole line. The other sashes kinda look bad in comparison and the white pops.
17:02 I think it’s a line from the game? I used to play it (Aru best girl) and she’s pretty short for her age. I imagine it’s because she’s a high schooler in a swimsuit meant for younger students.
30:05 I love that detail so much it’s so funny. It’s the definition of “we didn’t need to do this” and I love it
31:58 yeah she’s a “maybe she’ll bin?” Tier for me. I love the design but not for that price.
40:14 she ate a bee… 🐝
46:23 you did! She’s named after the word “Melt” and the flower “Amaryllis.”
1:06:54 can’t blame you. Those are really cute berets.
Thanks for the PO roundup! I hope May treats you well!
Zero two SHOULD be at the very least better than the other one but by how much I can't say. The large Pop ups are higher quality across the board though, but that might just be thanks to the larger size allowing for easier sculpting/paint
Also that Link Figma is tight. I wonder if I'll regret not getting him. I only have the Link Between World's Figma and I love that guy
that’s good to know! I think the glossy paint may be a ? in how well she turns out but hopefully that size helps with the painting.
The Link figma is so good but that price tag is painful. I think he’s one where you may regret both getting or not getting him honestly. DX comes with so much for the price but it costs more than Mio’s scale. I’m not sure if he’ll bin or go up in the after market so I guess he’s lurking in my POs for now. Link Between World’s Link is a great Link to have! The little guy brightens my day whenever I see pictures of him.
I really love the Cheshire and Noshiro figures in maid outfits. Im a maid and I wish my uniform was cute like that. 😆
I love Hanako but I would prefer if you could buy her in school uniform on her own for cheaper price. I don't want the swimsuit body.
That's a fair point. The price is quite good but only if you like everything included
Obligatory Holo purchases(I really had to budget for the 1/4, she controls my wallet). I saw the Ryobi coming as she's my favorite Senran, her ninja transformation gives her that massive bust so it's her trademark gimmick. I prefer not having seamlines, but I'm not sure I need two. I might cave.
I'm telling myself that my 1/4 Marisa will get lonely without a 1/4 Reimu. That's how I'm justifying that one.
That Reimu is quite nice looking so I dont think you gotta overthink it lol
God I'm so glad you agree that Frieren looks perfect... I swear reading comments are like "Her lips are awful so I won't get her". I absolutely love the pose and Frieren energy
maybe there's some super zoomed in photos I didn't see but yeah the lips seem fine to me
I find the melin figure beautiful but I dont like the design of clothes at legs and body, the rest is chefskiss
I can’t believe Max Factory is rereleasing Asuna when they still haven’t even produced prototype images of Karin. I’m loosing my mind waiting on an update for Karin’s release.
Perhaps Karin was just a dream...
I hate exercise so I can understand why the yoga one looks sad. What I probably looked like in PE class at school 😆
Definitely hated it back then but nowadays I find it kinda nice. That is, when I'm not being a lazy ass lol
15,800 yen for Mio in this economy? Your wallet is saved. I too am waiting to see how the Frieren Good Smile version will be painted. Regarding those Furyu x Yoshitoku Dolls, Kohai's Collection bought them and also a Hina Doll Straight from Yoshitoku Dolls store in Japan and compared them. Check it out if you want to know more, but it seems the collab is very overpriced.
Yeah I'll give it a watch
That Volume figure (and her price) will be my demise 😢
tbh i thought prisma wing did a good job on their sugimoto...(too bad rightstuf cancelled my preorder OTL)
Is there nowhere else to grab him from? Sorry that happened to ya
@@ZuccoFigures found him on solaris but i'll probably wait a bit
May 2025.... DEAR LORD THAT'S A YEAR FROM NOW-
Good news nonetheless! I'm super hyped to add her to my collection as the first Xenoblade related figure!
It's so long from now that I wouldnt be surprised if we start hearing about Xenoblade 4 by then lol
I will say that Claynel's Frieren has a face that I personally consider a tad too narrow
I can kinda see it yeah
@@ZuccoFigures Luckily we have lots of time to decide, and I am sure other manufacturers are going to want their piece of the Frieren pie eventually
Hatsune Miku!
Wonderful news! It looks like the Mio scale is coming out soon - well priced too! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
All that waiting seems to have paid off
I hate how stupid expensive that Volume figure is. Most NIKKE figures are like that which suuucks
Volume is pricey but there seems to be alot of work put into her. Max Factory is prob overcharging a little tho
no nendos for preorder???
I haven't been covering Nendoroids lately. Just too much for me to really handle in one sitting unless I do a really quick section on them
@@ZuccoFigures Aww rats!! Those are the best figures lol 🤣
Mio is bae
I'm doin my best to spread the word
@@ZuccoFigures Good man
the shinobi master senran kagura one i think the version with smaller boobs is lesser priced? I remember that being a joke within fandoms at some point of how everyone is laughing at this figure and that if u wan the bigger boob version, you gotta need to pay "titty price" x'D
I quickly checked her prices on MFC and they were the same but I could be wrong. Regardless though now you are def paying more for the boobs lul
@@ZuccoFigures i just cant help but laugh that just adding titty price is like 3000 more or sth hahaha!
once u start collecting azur lane figurines, there's no turning back
There's one I got my eyes on if it drops in price like all the rest so I guess we'll see lol
@@ZuccoFigures hahaha which one is it, my most recent order is vittorio veneto which is now on sale
I don't like popup parade
Always good to see more Nikke figures. I'm still holding out for other characters though. Nihlister or Red Hood would probably be the two I'd go for.
I'd be tempted if they made Elegg
