Aren't nendoroids the cutest? If only they weren't so expensive.. Speaking of which do you own any nendoroids or anime figures? If you're a looking for a good proxy service with cheap, I highly recommend you check out zenmarket!
That moment where you want to seem thankful to your friend for their thoughtfulness, but you really wanna smash it and throw it into the garbage. How to act, is the question.
Before I got into anime figures, my friend got me a bootleg nezuko as a gift. I was really happy at the time but now I know it's fake and I don't know what to do with it :')
I'm so glad this was on my recommendate page! Not because of my love for nendoroid and cheap deals BUT because I found someone with the personality and humor that suits me.
I just pre ordered one now , what happens now? It will be my first ever Nendoroid and I don't even know what these things are. Are they action figures with more steps?
Always ALWAYS look at the buyer review rating. Never go for anyone lower than 98% for people that have a lot of sells.......and even then be wary if they're less than 100%. I have yet to recieve a bootleg from a seller that's only sold 100 or less things. Also, shipping for California and a deal too good to be true is a bootleg. The biggest indicator is there are no pictures of the item in the seller's home and just from the original selling website....big red flag right there. And if you really wanna get picky, message them asking if it comes with a box/have a picture of the box. Bootleggers get very defensive and their English isn't usually the best, legit ones usually answer the question. I've learned my way around the Ebay figuring buying market lol
Almost 4 years later, but I want to say I love you from here to Pluto because of this video. Thank you so much. It is so well done and you cover everything I didn't know I needed to know! Also I love your personality, thank you so much for sharing all of this information. I'm subscribing immediately.
Hey thank you so much for recommending surugaya, I got a used nendoroid, it literally came in looking brand new with plastic from original packaging. I'm waiting a few others figures coming in and I'm super excited 😄
I'm so scared to buy Suruguya/try the third party delivery service route because of shipping costs. I should probably just stop belly aching and put aside a certain amount of money for the budget but it's easier to cry and whine on a youtube comment than being productive :'^)
Yuu makes such great videos that I don't have to know (or care) about literally anything she talks about and it can still be made extremely entertaining
Easy. Just make a twitter account and make two posts. Post 1: say "I ❤️ anime" Post 2: say "I own a chibi wolverine" Then, Goodsmile will ask if you want nendoroids for free. (It's an elon musk joke)
I've found that Japanese Mercari is the best pricing, but hit/miss for inventory. Mandarake might be a bit more expensive, but it's important to note they have a lot of rare vintage items that warrants higher price points.
7:00 ironic, I’ve rewatched this video countless times since she uploaded it 3 years ago and even since I’ve been hunting for a Flandre Nendoroid. Love her design, her song, fight, all around this cutie. I just scored a Flandre nendo today and went to rewatch the video that started it all and ironically,, the Flandre I just ordered is also apparently sticky too!
I agree deeply about the japanese standards for taking care of their stuff, I remember myself in the local flea market (these called hard-offs) where i bought c.c. , roy mustang and eva 01 figures. they were really cheap and came in a flawless condition, i wouldnt believe this if i didnt see it with my own eyes. and yet wished youtube had recommended this video for me earlier, since I'm not familiar with online shipping, but just made the purchase for higashikata josuke in goodsmilecompany shop anyway, just hope things work out.
If you used zenmarket I'm sure your order will be fine. I've had like... 20 orders sent to me and none of them have ever gone missing, or things got damaged. Though your experience may vary from proxy company to proxy company. Personally I've only ever used Zenmarket, Neokyo, WhitrRabbitExpress and Samurai Buyer.
*SJGSKSHSKSGSJS* Thank you so much for this video, my birthday is in about a month and I was looking at some Nendroids, but was upset because of their prices and my anti-consumer habit. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. YOU ARE A GIFT FROM WHATEVER DEITY LIVES IN THE SKY.
Thanks for the Tutorial... I thought about buying figuruines, wallscrolls or other stuff several times. This and the general Zenmarket Tutorial really helped me and eventually I will buy something from there in the future. ^^ Also, I really had to laugh many times during the video. Just wanted to say that this video was as always just on point with information and humor. Keep up the nice work! ^^ I'm looking forward to new streams and videos. ^^
I actually love anime figures and I'm nerdy so yea.. I actually needed a new way to buy some for like almost 50. I usually do amazon but i have heard of zenmarket bwfore so ima try it 👌
I have like maybe 2 anime figures and I’m planning to start collecting them, the next one I’m planning to get is a pink version of hastune miku because of my current vocaloid obsession.
Hii! Im trying to buy a sakura miku nendoroid from surugaya, they have an english version of the website that shows the price for yen, and the price for USD , if I bought it, would I have the choice to pay in yen or USD? Because I dont have any yen, as I dont live in japan.
I've personally never used their international website before so I'm not quite sure how that'll work. If you're wanting to use a proxy service for shopping I recommend sticking with the Japanese version. Highly recommend reaching out to Suruga-Ya's customer service otherwise.
A true man of culture, I see. Even the Slavic cooking channel nor a cute otaku channel can escape from you huh ┬┴┬┴┤(･_├┬┴┬┴ Oh wait, I think you're fake
Oh my god this was hilarious to watch! Defiantly helped me know more about where to get my stuff from. Thank you so much for making this video!! New sub
My brother knows I'm a fan of one piece and love doflamingo. He decided for christmas he would get a figure of doflamingo as my Christmas gift. The thing is, hes not that knowledgable when it comes to figures and cant tell how to spot bootlegs from the real thing. I got the figure and was excited for it, but after carefully looking at it, I knew it was a bootleg. It broke my heart to let him know he bought a fake and he spent $50 on it. He felt bad, but I still thanked him for it, because it was an awesome gift nonetheless.
Loved the video! But ever since I started collecting, I bought all my 12 nendoroids from ebay. Just ask for the seller to give you a close up pic of the face and you'll be able to know right away if it's a bootleg or not really.
Very nice video, Yuu. I would really love to see you do a video on how you do auctions on Yahoo. I might as well check out ZenMarket and see what they've got!
I like the options of finding cheap nendoroids by buying loose ones or just not the ones that are misb or mib. However, I guess I prefer it more if it is sealed. Also yes! pre-order is much better hehehehe. I'm a total cheapskate, but I can wait. (Oh and I also prefer second-hand nendos that are still mib hehehe)
I collect Touken Ranbu nendoroids. And I bought all of them from Facebook Marketplace, some are used and opened b4 and some are new. All of them are original and a fare price range.
Tbh, nenderoid factory is located in china, some times I feel people there are secretly selling defects part, or have some stocks of finished nendoroid, though they sell as expensive or more expensive than gsc though, but I really want to collect them.
Suragaya and Mandarake is like a gift from the gods I swear. Kdndndsjsjsnsk I’ve been wanting the senbonzakura nendoroid for like 2 years and I got it for like 40$ which is like crazy for me cause I’ve been so desperate aaaa!
I recently purchased some Touhou posters from China (Guangdong, if anyone cares) and the width to length ratio was the same as what was advertised, but the widths and lengths themselves were much shorter than what was advertised. I got this poster of Reimu smoking a pipe but the poster didn't even contain the full image so it looks like Reimu is sticking her hands out in front of her for no reason ):
So I tried this, but seemingly I cannot change the designated value of the shipping cost, and apparently custom import taxes also takes the shipping cost into account when calculating the custom fees. What have you done to bypass this?
Years ago, my dad bought me four nendoroids on eBay thinking that was the real deal. It came later and we found out they were bootlegs once we opened them up.
I bought like a total of 25 tankobon doujins in mandarake as used the most "used" they have is one of the following: 1. folded obi 2. slight bump on the cover 3. a removable smudge on the cover I wiped down with a slightly damp cloth SRP: 1200 yen "used": 600 yen
I love second hand stores in japan. The system is 100% broke but no one complains. I bought a practically new barely opened figure for 7 dollara when its 50 online
Aren't nendoroids the cutest? If only they weren't so expensive..
Speaking of which do you own any nendoroids or anime figures?
If you're a looking for a good proxy service with cheap, I highly recommend you check out zenmarket!

Always ALWAYS look at the buyer review rating. Never go for anyone lower than 98% for people that have a lot of sells.......and even then be wary if they're less than 100%. I have yet to recieve a bootleg from a seller that's only sold 100 or less things. Also, shipping for California and a deal too good to be true is a bootleg. The biggest indicator is there are no pictures of the item in the seller's home and just from the original selling website....big red flag right there. And if you really wanna get picky, message them asking if it comes with a box/have a picture of the box. Bootleggers get very defensive and their English isn't usually the best, legit ones usually answer the question.
I've learned my way around the Ebay figuring buying market lol
I'm always hesitant to buy anything from Ebay cause I want genuine stuff
I will now look for only things from US/Canada or Japan for figurines

Started to collect late in life. Thanks for the advice. Saved me ton of research. Also I subscribed 😁❤️
I got my bootleg Kanna and I have to say that she is cute, better than the nendoroid, more flexible, and has a lovely home with me : )
I've found that Japanese Mercari is the best pricing, but hit/miss for inventory.
Mandarake might be a bit more expensive, but it's important to note they have a lot of rare vintage items that warrants higher price points.
When the last video about proxy shopping was not sponsored by Zenmarket and now this video is sponsored. Nice! Keep up the good work :)
