    Despite the number of figures from some of my favourite series being available for pre-order this month, nothing really caught my attention other than the Mio (Xenoblade) scale and the Iroha (Hololive) scale. My wallet-kun is happy and thankful that I am not into any popular gacha games.
    I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment on Lady Avalon scale. On first glance, I honestly thought she was only partially painted. Some sort of shading or even translucent material would have helped it look less flat. Maybe these pictures are not doing it justice? Asuna (SAO) from Ensoutoys look super strange to me as well. Even Kirito looks sort of wrong. To me, the only upside to these figures is that they are wearing their outfits from the second SAO Progressive movie.
    As always, thank you for the monthly roundup! :)

    Another banger of a video!
    Only thing I'm actually interested in is the Gurren Lagann statue.
    The Vertex Mama Tiana elf is such a slap in the face to collectors who have been supporting the product line. I'm sure I don't need to tell you about the engineered FOMO surrounding it.
    Then you got FREEing Shalltear... Another clear cut example of scummy business practices. No ones going to say this white version looks better than the inevitable purple variation that comes out in a year. So why make it? Money. Duh. White on white will never NOT be boring. She may as well be a bareleg edition with how unnoticeable those fishnets are.

      @@ZuccoFigures Basically the figure is going to be manufactured in a set quantity as opposed to the usual made to order. Naturally people do what people do and they start thinking, "Well hell, if I don't get it now then I can't imagine the aftermarket!" It really just boils down to Vertex feeding into consumers insecurities. I don't play the FOMO games, so it's an easy pass for me despite having 4 of the elves.
      P.S. not sure if you noticed how big that Prime 1 Gurren Lagann is. Over 3 feet tall. Quite the investment, and certainly going to mull it over for awhile.

    idk if it's an unpopular opinion but I actually quite like translucent strands on hair sculpts, it probably is to make lighting more eyecatching in photography compared to solids but i could be wrong. Either way I personally think they make gradation look more varied than compared to painted on solids, especially if it's with white hair or characters meant to have a deity-like air to them

    31:46 Toki and the miyako figure are the ones that convinced me to cancel TOTK Link DX. Seeing their prices and detail made me rethink things. I’m going to wait and see what other Toki figures come out before committing to a Bunny Toki PO but she is HIGH on the “Want to PO List”
    36:55 that’s asuna?! Damn I would have never guessed.
    43:11 I was going to PO this one the moment it came out but that price knocked me out of the park. It doesn’t help I really want that bonus lmao it’s SO good. The paintwork is about more detailed for sure but when their previous Shiki figure wasn’t nearly as expensive (I’ve seen it for $90 USD, and it’s still in stock in a lot of places) and for me it makes it a lot harder to swallow that price. I’m optimistically hoping she bins bc I’ll gladly get two shiki scales.

    The two highlights from are the Mio and the Futaba. The Mio MFC page got really crazy, I'm not sure if you've seen it. People were saying how this figure was ruined and how she looks terrible because the pose was out of character and all that. Or how people were complaining about her stomach showing.
    I don't know, it looks fine to me? Just seemed like people were looking for something to get mad about. If you want to see an out of character pose look at the Makoto Nijima fig by Amakuni with her butt and ass all out, that's uncharacteristic. Yeah that killed that figure for me.
    As for Futaba, I don't know. It looks fine enough, but I wasn't all that impressed with the Kasumi figure that I bought from Megahouse in terms of the quality? The base on mine is kind of wobbly? I'm not sure which Futaba figure to get considering there's not that many options.

    • @ZuccoFigures
      @ZuccoFigures  2 месяца назад

      I remember seeing some of the Mio complaints awhile ago. I might have touched on that in my other video but at this point I don't really care lol. I got what I wanted in the end even if its different from what I expected. There was a time I wanted a Makoto figure but I agree Amakuni kinda killed her character in favor of fanservice.
      Megahouse can definitely be hit or miss but my sample size is kinda small so I didn't comment on that. You really only eat well if you're a One Piece fan though lol. Everything else is more up in the air

      Yeah, and it sucks because like that probably would be Makoto's best figure overall if they all did was just change the pose. You get a whole ass bike, with Johanna and its cool since how many other Persona figures, include the Persona itself in the sculpt?
      But they killed it having making her do, her best Bayonetta impression. Really odd since none of the other Amakuni figures are like that.
      I did buy the Robin miss all sunday figure by Megahouse and their Doflamingo figure is also really good.

    Zucco, Civilight Eterna is the king of fiends, which is that she was the leader of her people before being murdered in a coup by her brother iirc. it was the main character who ended up killing her though due to other reasons not revealed fully but prolly in CN it is cause they are a year ahead. The arms dealy is probably her magic powers from being infected by essentially the originum which is rocks that are literally infecting her boy and growing larger inside of her like a black crystal which will ultimately kill anyone infected in a extremely painful fashion.

    I completely agree about Lady Avalon, it's too much white and nothing pops out. When you said "I don't know if there was any winning with this concept", I though exactly the same about adding Nia to the Lagann one. Had they had done that, people would have complained all day long that it wouldn't have been lore accurate. Also the price is probably enough as it is. :D
    Also Komeshiro Kasu being a "horny figure". I see what you did there. ;)

They're milking us now with these which is why I'm turning to Chinese shippers for it as they're cheaper... I think.

    I am considering the FREEing Narbel. To be honest, I only want it if it's castoff, but it seems to be only a likelihood and not a guarantee so it's a bit iffy.

I am not a bunny collector and not usually very interested in them other than the Danganronpa ones that I think are dope, but despite not knowing that character I'm very drawn to that one.

    That kimono Miku is very tempting, but Miku figures in traditional clothing seem to go down in price so I'll wait. I'm considering the nendo version right now to go with the other museum one they did.
    The Shiki looks great, but I already have two of her in that outfit, and I feel the eyes are too far apart for some reason. If I did I would not get the glowing eyes, I think they freak me out.
    The Koishi is apparently done by an artist I like, so possibly tempting. Though I'm confused why they didn't make Sanae, since they like doing artwork of her. But I think I'm good with the Reimu I finally preordered.

    Kotobukiya Bonuses don't really feel that premium tbh, usually just a face plate change and they charge way too much for it and also restrict you to certain shops.
