    I keep coming back to this video every time I need a good laugh. I absolutely love how honest you are about your collecting and when you feel like you may have made a mistake, but you don’t blame the product for not being what you expected. It’s very refreshing to watch a reviewer be so honest and hilarious at the same time. Keep it up man, you have a great personality for this kind of content

    Seems like maybe a tradeoff situation. Yes, it is tiny compared to most of the toys you share from your collection. But I guess it mitigates space issues (the silent killer). As you pointed out, ideally you could have this tiny version displayed with a 6-inch Nausicaä. Maybe one day. It does look cool, but for the price, it pretty much has to be the coolest

    Whew, that price point. I feel like when we try to get JP action figures we get a little taste of what collectors have to pay/deal with outside of the US. I recently picked up all the Bring Arts FFT figures and it was NOT cheap but god was it so worth it once I had them in hand. The figures are always usually a little smaller I noticed too. Probably because over there space is not easy to come by. My FFT figures also came in that sweet clam shell like plastic that makes it easy to pack them back up again and it looks like this figure did too. I definitely held on to the boxes/packaging because of that.

    • @NostalgiaUnboxed

    At least she's not just a little statue, bro! She actually looks fun...especially with that sideways flying surfboard...plane...thing... Let's be honest, the LED really justifies the $140, man. And, that transformation gimmick is pretty cool, not gonna lie! This whole experience reminds me of the time I bought a military model kit from the local Ben Franklin five and dime when I was a kid. I rode my bike over 5 miles (each way!), bought what looked like an awesome little armored vehicle model and was disappointed to discover that it was only a few inches long after I got back home. I took it back to the store and the pissed off guy behind the counter actually gave me my money back and told me to never do that again. Lol. I felt dumb and ashamed...but I learned a powerful lesson that day to always read the specs before I buy. AND, I got a shitload of exercise (20+ miles total with nothing to show for it but a few extra smarts and a lowered self-esteem...none of which would seem to have any value for at least another 10 years).

    The same thing happened to me when I pre-ordered the Smaug miniature from the Hobbit movies. I was sooo excited. Wizards of the Coast had been making amazing dragons for years at 1/5 the $70 price of the Smaug figure so it was going to be amazing! Right! Right? Nope. Damn thing had to be assembled. The tail came as a separate piece. The whole figure articulated but it had cut outs in the spots it articulated so it LOOKED like an articulating figure. It couldn't stand up by itself. What a disaster. I sent it back and they refunded all of my money including return postage. So disappointed.

      If it's the Smaug figure they had on the WBshop years ago, I had a similar experience- but I kept it. From the price I assumed it would either be as large as the Fell Beast figure or at least a super detailed articulated figure like a SH Monsterarts. Sadly, it is neither. Probably the most disappointing figure I've ever ordered.

    Japanese retail for this was 62. Bbts doubled the price. The aftermarket price for pre-owned is around 95 (and that's unopened). Stop ordering your Japanese imports from middle men sites. They're ripping you off. Amiami or hlj and even with shipping it'll still be significantly cheaper than bbts.
    In Japan they do not care if you opened a product. Once you bought it, it's been owned. It's no longer new and cannot be sold as new. The Japanese second hand market is a godsend to import collectors who know to browse the pre-owned section on Amiami, loll
