I'm a foreigner in South Korea. You also have to give them (online stores etc) all of your information. It's to avoid tax evasion, id theft etc. No need to worry.
Exactly! Good to know it's like that in Korea too. I believe this is a practice common in Asia. There's a Japanese proxy service i used which also required an ID, because with the way their system works, indirectly i will have an address in Japan.
I currently have 3 figures from Bear Panda on pre-order and will be adding the fox tail girl to that list. I hope the figures come out at a good quality.
I kept laughing when that segment of Sutora came up cause I was already seriously thinking of getting her (She would be my first lewd figure). When you said buy it at 4:16 I was activated lmao
14:12 I love this figure, wish it wasn’t coming out in October, my preorders for that month is already over ¥150k. I’ll hopefully pick it up later as I really want it.
34:55 I’m a big fan of Hero Belief Studios, I’ve have their Rengoku Vs Akaza and I absolutely love it, it’s such a nice resin, the paint is flawless, there’s not one issue I have with it.
I must say, the anime figure called "Succubus Black Titi" kind of has another connotation 🤣 But I hope that wasn't their intended purpose in naming the figure. Also nin nin games even verifies your browser I think so I am not surprised that they are asking for ID.
4:13 Yea I love this figure too, I’m a sucker for cat girls. And yea I love Koneko too, I just have one figure of her, the one from Bellfine, it’s a cast off.
45:24 But they’re not wearing the same thing, each one is wearing something different, they’re all black colour but some have shorts, some bikini, and their tops are all different.
I guess the identification is a big cultural difference, I live in Western Europe and would never expect an online store to request a picture of me with an ID. Only my bank service has requested a picture of my ID before. Also have to keep in mind major data leaks happen all the time and I'd rather have them get my information in text rather than my picture with my ID they could send to other businesses. All that being said that company can request whatever they want and deny you their service otherwise.
It is both cultural differences and also geopolitical propaganda from government and media, where for the past decade people are being told they are being spied on. Fear mongering. They aren't wrong - except, the ones telling you that, are the same people doing exactly that on you. Personally, I wouldn't mind whether Google knows whether I like A cups or F cups on my anime figures if it results in good ads or recommendations. Collecting data and spying are two different things intention-wise, but they are lumped together as the same thing.
Really sucks to be a Chinese collector rn. Tried ordering Sutora from taobao since it should be cheaper in China, but none of the stores are allowed to sell the cast off version.
Actually it is being sold as a separate figure. Search for Otherwhere and Partylook version of the same figure. Yes, because of the laws enacted related to the video I spoke on how China is banning ecchi figures. They separated it and only adults are allowed to buy the ecchi version.
I'm planning on getting an Azure Lane Shinano figure but the one I want is Azur Lane - Shinano - 1/7 - Dreams of the Hazy Moon Ver. (Good Smile Arts Shanghai, Good Smile Company)
@@cottonycloud-it's just the hypocrisy of the human society showing. If you collected Ironman or Star Wars action figures i doubt people would call you abnormal but the moment you collect anything with boobs people lose their mind.
Eve's face could be a bit better but I'll keep waiting to see if more come out also that fig of nel is from the bleach brave souls mobile game it's her beyond resurrection form
Yeah, these are just the first 2 figures of her. I can't imagine other Resin Figure brands not taking advice of her popularity. It's just a matter of time before we get flooded with choices.
Yeah that one gives off a very gamer-ish feel in some way. Like you take everything you see in a typical mmorpg game in a Nintendo or PlayStation, and conceptualise it into a figure.
I just bought the bluray for Azur Lane & I probably shouldn’t have got it, I do not want to get sucked into this franchise because there’s a massive amount of figures & I’ll be broke.
if your fine with the used market you can find the full arms ver for reasonoble prices. My only advice is to try and avoid pre odering them right now, so far my Prinz figure went on sale for nearly £80-100 less than I pre ordered her from AMAMI and Agir also went on sale for less than the pre order price.
Buying 1/1 scale of this sort feels like one is one step away from buying those kind of dolls at that point lol. I feel it’s a bit too much and the hobby can start to go down to some weird territory if one ends up taking that road.

43:46 Do you think that’s expensive? God I think that’s cheap for a resin of that quality, I love it, I think they did a great job on her.
I have the first run of that Shion figure and she’s fantastic! The list of countries for the Bocchi figure are the countries it CAN ship to not can’t.
45:24 But they’re not wearing the same thing, each one is wearing something different, they’re all black colour but some have shorts, some bikini, and their tops are all different.
Of these figures, I’m considering the 1/6 Sylphina shown at about 9:05 in the video and the Shinano shown at the end

The bare feet and stockings are done REALLY well ..

@@EXkuroganeOh wow, China is banning Ecchi figures? That country is beyond authoritarian. But aren’t these all made in China?
10:24 Yea I don’t like big legs, I much prefer slim characters.
38:38 Is this doll fully functional? Haha
35:30 is that actual figure? Looks like 3D render.
hmm, it just feels weird.

Read it again. I think they only ship to those areas?
Is it normal for me to buy a nude figure, because I like the character.
I think it’s normal. Tho somebody else (like family, visitors) can make it difficult and awkward.
Why not? We buy stuff like this not necessarily because we want to f the character or the figure, but we appreciate it as a work of art.
I am a straight female and have like one pretty riské figure. I appreciate the body as a work of art.
Well, I would say buying figures already puts us in the minority, so we are already way past normal.

It is exactly what you are imagining. 🤣 I avoided mentioning those words in the video because youtube will get triggered by it.
You forgot to cover OPM Tatsumaki by OZ production Studio.
Yup i left it out by accident and i will include it in the upcoming week's news. I have many things to say about that figure. It looks amazing
