China's BAN on Cultured Figures is Now Starting to Affect Me

- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- Saucy anime figures were outlawed in China late last year, despite being where Japanese figure companies manufactured their products. We are beginning to see its effect now, where regional variants of the same figure will omit certain parts included with anime figure preorders. And this is actually affecting anime figure collectors like me.

There seems to be an increased movement recently in banning nsfw stuff, not only in China but also credit card companies like Visa, Mastercard, Amex forcing Japanese companies to remove doujin content. Why can't consenting adults enjoy their cultured content in peace?
It’s just authoritarianism, there’s a lot of puritans in places of power that are extremely repressed. And use their power to push their beliefs onto everyone else.
I asked the seller what roughly translated to as “Do u know what I mean?” And received a confirmation. I was going to link a picture to the convo, but RUclips deletes external links. I am feeling confident enough to order from them myself.
Me who is still living with my mom, can't relate to this at all😂
Tell your mum that you like lewd waifus because you are STRAIGHT. It would be weirder for a guy to like and collect dudes with no clothes on 😏
There is a light novel about that I’m sure.
Relocate get out of there!
@@EXkurogane But what if you like both?
Good luck obtaining her bro. That sucks
It is art, sadly they will never understand it...
I fell in love with this figure when you had it in your last video, it’s so nice. I only have 2 cast off figures, the Koneko & Asia from Bellfine. But I’ll hopefully pick this up.
In my country, importing ecchi Loli figures is not allowed; I only managed to get mine by paying bribes to the director of the airport's customs agency (meaning they were rather expensive). But my country is less strict that China regarding the punishment of corruption. If I was in your place, I would travel directly to PartyLook's Chinese store and try to get it there in person (which is very inconvenient, but is the choice that allows you to check what version you are buying without really being at much risk).
Looking into the future, you may want to start making friendly meetings with whomever handles customs in your local region, so they can (even if at a price) 'solve' things for you.
What country are you living?
So, in this instance is it the character's perceived age that's the problem? Or is it a blanket ban, because they saw lewd figures being sold with recommended ages that were lower than 18+?
I was under the impression that that was more the problem, because after the inquiry the 3rd party market seems completely unaffected.
Sorry to hear that bro, you should be able to buy what you like as an adult is quite a bothersome law
switching up from smuggling weapons and drugs to smuggling anime figures
today new bishoujo mangekyou available to preorder, going to try to pre order from taobao too, i seems there is many shop open PO for that figure, i think it is safe to try
you will not get two separate body sculpts if you order this product regardless of the seller btw
you only get one main figure
I am trying to buy something from amiami to germany and the shipment cost are at least 10000 yen + 19% on the figures when they reach my country and with all that it is way too expensiv... I am truly sad because I rly liked those figures...
If it is above 150€ in total you also have to pay customs duty of 19% on top of everything.
Just left Tokyo and I was wondering how much shipping from AmiAmi would cost to Germany cause I already carried like 30+ figures in my luggage and the last one was rather big 😅 Ended up buying it there too, had to pay additional fee at the airport because my luggage was too heavy. But I guess I’m still glad I don’t have to pay the 10,000¥ shipping and 19% tax everytime.. 🫣
Hi sir, im from MY too, would like to ask, as far as i know, if your parcel is over Rm500, it will be held at custom for taxing purpose, i know there is LVG/SST that will be asked to pay at check out IF the item is below 500, but the figure u had shown insn't it technically over 500 and too will be held at custom? Or is it because of difference of Air and Sea shipment? i wanted to buy figure and display cabinet recently on Taobao, but i was confused with the taxing stuff so and ended up not getting them.
It does not matter whether it is over or under RM500 now, given that we have LVG tax now. My problem is each time a parcel gets held at the kastam I need to personally go there to pick up and pay tax. I am not that free. You can ask poslaju to do it for u but there is a RM50 service charge.
That is why i buy figures from Taobao a lot nowadays, because taobao already helped u charge that 10% LVG tax upon checkout. The item will be delivered straight to you, it wont get stuck at kastam. Very convenient.
@@EXkuroganeso you had bought things above Rm500 (w/ written invoice on parcel) and did not get taxed/held at kastam? Cuz from what I had seen at check out, anything below 500 it will be paid as LVG/SST beforehand, and above Rm500, it will not be paid beforehand and have to pay at kastam, aka held at kastam. Or is it Cainiao service will collect the tax first and help us to clear any tax before hand? Sorry for being confused here cuz I'm haha, I do speak and read Mandarin but there is no source to confirm such info to this date, all those lowyat forum thread (post LVG) all say that u still have to go kastam to collect. I appreciate your recent reply kind sir!
@@EXkuroganeoh also, I also seen a tax written with different shipping method that say the item is above Rm500 might get held and tax ed at custom. I forgot which shipping method already, it's between sea and air
Wait are you sure there is 2 figures? I have it preordered on amiami and the description didn't say you're getting 2 though? I am in sg so I am worried 😢. Though I have a few tamano kedama figures in my closet.
The item listing on both versions on AmiAmi says [This item can be cast off] but that's just blank statement on any figure that has a nude option. In this case, it's a swappable nude body, if not a flat-out entirely whole second figure.
its getting harder as well with say PayPal now and visa and MasterCard to get em.
What about finding someone to buy in japan and sending it back, would it trigger the custom/tax department?
That is also one option. The declaration part is going to be a pain. It has to be something along the lines of personal belongings i suppose
This is terrible, it’s just a disgrace that these people are censoring & banning things like this.
You’ll have to get someone from a different country to buy the figure & then send it to you. I’m sure there’s lots of people willing to do that for you.
I'm so tired of people trying to censor anime stuff. Sorry man.
Even content creators like us have no choice or our channel's survival will be at youtube's mercy. All in the name of being family or advertiser friendly, when youtube kids exists
Sucks bro 😢
I'm also considering getting the fkgure, but idk if i want the cast off or no 😅
If you don't need the castoff one, 21k yen only in China. Insane deal no matter how you look at it
@@EXkurogane This to be honest. Most of my cast-off figures I display with their clothes on, the nude option is just a bonus. Being able to get a sfw-only version at a huge discount is an absolute win for me. I'm really sorry you're caught in the crossfire of China's policies. I hope you manage to find her without having to jump through too many hoops.
You will have to undertake a long and brave Journey to the East to retrieve the sacred statues from the temples the of learned masters of Canton
Can you share your secret in having so much money to buy figures?
This is very rough I also have to deal with this issue
actually i think china is targetting mainly the cat stuff. Bunnies are affected too but cat stuff like the one in your vid or nekopara especially the 1/4 scale all were destroyed. I finally got all of my 1/4 nekoparas but damn ....it was one tough ride.
From what i noticed some figure brands are exploiting loopholes in the law where as long they add some removable clothes on it's no longer an issue. Third parties do it by adding cheaply made bikini or something and let the customers remove it themselves. But modifying something based on an artwork without the artist's consent is a big no for licensed figures - it is disrespectful, even if it's a temporary part meant to be removed later. So we end up with this scenario now
If the seller has good reviews and sells more figures that also come with two versions it's probably safe but of course there's always the risk and buying from your own country it's like using another proxy a.k.a more expensive, in my country as long as the 18 ratings are not plastered all over the thing nobody cares but things are beggining to get worse everywhere :/
Take the risk.
wait, im in singapore and i have no idea we cant have hentai figures come in?!?!
The law is there, just that it's probably not strictly enforced
bro Prawnography is illegal to possess. But nobody really cares lah. Unless u attract customs attention.
unless the product or goods is BLATANTLY out there with the ban, or customs feels like they want to work or need quota to meet
They usualy won't enforce it, and boy those government worker do have to follow their boss these days
@@somechinesedude5466 i don't think Singapore is that different from Malaysia. The customs officers don't really go out their way to search for lewwd stuff in parcels. They discover it by accident during checks for taxation reasons. And people who buy these products, they don't exactly cause problems to the society anyways. We enjoy our hobbies in private.
@@antinataliz9633 i mean i do know of course if its just blatant prawns and its OBVIOUSLY STATED on the box or sth OF COURSE they would check, but i now i'm wondering for figures would it be a issue now x'D never got one but was thinking of getting one some day
You never mention which country you're in. Also, I don't think you're getting two figures. She's probably cast-off around her arms and legs. You're probably going to be missing two arms, two legs and her hair.
Relocate get out of there!
Lol I am glad I don't care for anything "cultured"
Thank the CCP and Xi
