Imagine the sweat those nendoes got while standing on the very edge of the table listening to your lamenting about uncontollable gesticulation and watching your arms flying back and forth over them...
Usually not commenting, but I feel like I have to once in a while. Been following your videos for some months now (or even a year at this point? Where's the time gone ... ) and I'm as impressed as ever about how you review figures. So eloquently, so very descriptive. It's always a joy to hear you ramble about them even if I myself might not be too familiar or even interested in them. I feel like this sets you apart from other figure tubers. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing, Zucco!
I appreciate it. I basically have turned my unboxings into mini reviews, as I'm not actually great at coming up with detailed descriptions on the spot lol. So usually I write down my thoughts and fit them into these videos as best as possible.
Not stupid, IMHO. While I have yet to rebuy something that isn't a video game, I have definitely been tempted to repurchase an imperfect or damaged item I love. Even now, I struggle to not rebuy the collector's editions of several anime movies that are dear to my heart, that arrived damaged because Amazon Japan couldn't be bothered to package their stuff properly. Thank you, Zucco, for making me realize I am not alone in these desires. ;)
I love the Neru figure. She definitely pairs better with with the Max Factory Asuna rather then the Good Smile ver. Still my Blue Archive collection will continue to grow lol
that reimu looks so good! I wish I was into the touhouvania style but just watching you unbox it is good enough for me lol. However I do have the solarain reimu preordered and am hoping it lives up to the promo images.
For the record, your general recommendations of Ques Q in your preorder round ups got me to pull the trigger on my first ever scale: Bondrewd lmao. Hype as hell to get it, always happy to see a video from you!
@@ZuccoFigures Honestly I went back and forth on it for a while, but the badass different shades of black just kept calling to me lol. I was going through all your preorder round ups and saw him again, and I caved. Thanks for always making such engaging reviews of this stuff, it’s seriously a huge help (or a huge temptation in this case).
Can totally relate. Broken figures or figures that I sold and have sellers remorse for are a huge trigger for my (mild) OCD tendencies, and has resulted in me buying some figures up to 4 times over the years. I get the mindworm that my collection is incomplete unless I have a "complete" copy of the figure or if my collection is missing something I used to have. I am getting better, especially on the seller's remorse front, at accepting that I need to live with purchasing/ selling decisions and that a little glue doesn't invalidate the quality of my collection. My Neru has her angry face.
I'm thankful I don't have too much sellers remorse, though I used to be very bad about stuff like box damage. I just hate the idea of buying something new and I get it damaged in the mail. Very guilty of returning videogames in the mail if they came smooshed for example, or even manga if they weren't packaged correctly and get bent up or something. Can't really do the same with figures but I legit hate buying from places that use UPS cause I have a terrible track record of receiving damaged boxes from them
Got a Mash that was broken for cheap. One of my newer ones, a fox girl on some rainbow flames, one of the flames I snapped off trying to get her placed in them. Although I wonder if they were glued in in the first place. And finally, after having it for 10 years or whenever it came out, the basic Tenshi figure in her uniform with the wide wings. My hand just grazed one of the wings and snapped the top peg holding it in. Somehow it still looks fine, but it was a bit disheartening. I say a bit because it's always given me troubles trying to keep her standing (she's fallen from height, and I tried using tape around her foot to keep her up), and I eventually got the 1/7th version in the goth loli dress anyway.
older figures are more likely to just become brittle over time sadly. I know thats happened to me before but I can't recall which figure off the top of my head
I haven't broke a scale figure yet *knock on wood* but I do have some prize figures that broke during moves and a nendo where one piece is broken. I have definitely consider and almost picked up a replacement for them even though it isn't a noticeable break. Great haul though! I'm always so tempted by the blue archive figures even though I haven't played the game or anything
I don't play it either. I just stumbled face first into this literal rabbit hole lol. I only plan to buy the bunny figures but we'll see if I can stick to that
I only brought one figure because I damaged it. It was the Morgana nendoroid, his rubber at the legs got damaged so I pulled the trigger as he got a rerelease (I got lucky, he got listed with a wrong price so I spend 10€ less than the actual preorder price). As a nice bonus they changed his box design to fit the other phantom thieves better. That's one of the reasons why I decided to keep both. And nendoroids are cheap compared to scale figures. If I would ever end up to damage one of my Akechi scales I would cry and pay for a new one. The aftermarket is brutal for both but I need my boy in perfect condition.
Replacing figures is definitely easier when they are cheaper. If I never found this second Remilia for the price I did I likely wouldn't have bought another. Deal hunting is very fun for me though so I'm glad I stumbled into this deal
I mainly collect magical girls and bought Kotobukiya's Tsuruno Yui from Magic Record. Her combat weapons are folding fans with ribbons at the binding joint. The ribbons for the figure are obviously plastic and are so small, any pressure causes them to snap off. The hole in Tsuruno's palm is awkwardly placed, and the peg on the fan would not stay in place. Naturally, one time the fan falls, and I struggle to return it to her palm...only for the ribbon to snap off. A few weeks go by, and in frustration I order a new Tsuruno Yui. Only for the same ribbon on the same fan in her same right hand to snap off again after again struggling to keep the peg in her palm. So yeah, now both are in storage.
I received Reimu about 3 days ago (first ques q figure)... she is so ambitious and delicate. So so beautiful! But like you mentioned, on the small side. Ques q really did an amazing job! Awesome haul! I'm looking for the recolor now..
I was surprised with the direction they took with the recolor. I do like it though. I feel like I read opinions weren't too high on it, but that doesn't matter much
I haven't broken a figure as of now. But I did lose an end to a hand knife and it's clear as day. I wouldn't say I wouldn't replace something if the price was right and if it really is a nicely done figure. I have only had one figure arrive broken, but it was fixable and couldn't see it. Factory flawed where it was like glue in the pants line, I just sold it and took a loss. I really couldn't ignore it.
I buy duplicates of things I like just to store in case there's a damage on one of my copy and I have a spare so I won't need to pay high price points in case i accidentally broke my copy, which mind you what I like USUALLY goes up in price.I don't sell my collections but I love how I have an option to gain a profit if I actually do.
Similar comments to what i wrote on mfc when i got neru early. Even tho the hair color seems weaker compared to the prototype 1, its actually closer to the art. As a huge fan of blue archive, im happy that you went through and got this neru fig.
Love the haul and the little story of the Remi figure, I have also considered like 10 times to buy a replacement for a figure I broke soon after buying it, but then I feel like the broken parts give it a personal feel and that I should use money for other things. Nevertheless, I also got that Reimu figure and the quality is so astounding that it is hard to believe
If I didnt break Remilia the day I unboxed I probably would feel the same way but man it made me salty at the time. Had her stored for years and just had to be careless lol. Reimu truly is spectacular. Pretty much a 10/10 figure
My cat broke one of my figures back when I had just started collecting, I was pretty naive and I bought it from a local store, turns out the figure was a bootleg so I'm not upset at all, but it did make me learn the lesson as to where to display them, so now I have shelves with glass doors so I don't have to worry about it. (I'm also never buying bootlegs again) But I did drop my Nakano Nino scale figure from Kotobukiya, it fell from about 1,5m but by a miracle she didn't get damaged at all, but I definitely learned a lesson to take more care when moving them, my collection is still pretty small (23 figures) but I love this hobby, the only problem is import tax, not only are the wages low since I live in a third world county, but I also have to worry about import tax, "stimulate the national industry" my ass, anyways, it's hard to collect because of this, but I don't care, it's fun.
Import tax is such crap. I'm lucky I get to dodge it as an American, though they did raise prices across the board for us during covid by quite alot so I still get to suffer a little bit
First! Hehe. I didn’t know about the Linkin Park Nendos, omg. The K-Angel Nendoroid packaging is very pretty. Might pick her up with the GSC bonus, cause separating that girl from her meds is a crime. Also, I just love morbid accessories. I recently got her Pop Up Parade and also that silly SEGA prize figure with the weird face, just as a Meme.
I have never damaged damage a 100-300 dollar figure. I damaged a 4000 dollar statue. Luckily it was an insignificant part of the base as opposed to the character and epoxy worked decent. It's not at all noticable. The only figure I've replaced is due to color transfer, it came with a red cushin and.. apprentally it bleeds onto the figure.... replaced, now displaying w/o cushin.
idk if it counts as damage cus it was intentional, but the Jibril freeing bunny I got, the wings would NOT fit into the holes made for them to put it together so I used my box cutter to gently shave down the nubs so they fit XD
As for the damaged figures, I had just unboxed the Black Bunny Aoi and White Bunny Natsume. Natsume's bunny ear broke while trying to put it in the key. Both figures had issues going on their stands and just in general. Also, I had purchased an old used Nymph figure from HLP. The hair had broke on arrival sadly. I ended up using Lexel for both, and id say they look good still
I dont know if the supplier would have offered to sell you JUST the spear (if it was removable) but I would have emailed them and given it a shot. I had a broken hair piece (OOB failure) on a figure from i-forgot-who and they sent me the entire top-half of the figure as warranty replacement. But otherwise, 100% support re-buying a completely new figure so long as it's within your means. I had a few possessions I cared about over the years which had accidental scuff on it, but that ate away at me and invaded my thoughts from time to time lol. If I wasn't a broke student back then I would have definitely bought replacements.
Unfortunately with the figure currently out of print the likelyhood of a replacement is low, plus I don't think the company actually offers to replace parts.
Been considering for a long time buying a replacement for my bishoujo morrigan figure, so you're not alone in pulling the trigger on that ajfkgklaf on one hand it's a lot of money but on the other I don't really wanna replace it, it was the very first scale I bought so even if it has a lil broken wing on her head she still has a special place in my shelf.
It's like when I bought a Fate scale figure and noticed one day that there seemed to be a discoloration on her nose. I couldn't remove it, so I bought another one. Luckily it was cheap. But she had the same discoloration. Exactly the same. I really like the figure, and now I have two. The discoloration must be on every single one of them. I can't quite work out what it is either.
Thought we might see Bombergirl Aqua in this haul 👀 Can’t wait to see your thoughts on her, she might already be my figure of the year - worth every penny
Sorry I wanted to get this video out before Feb ended so Aqua will most likely be covered in March. That massive AmiAmi box is just teasing me across the room.
I did damaged Albedo so bin figure when trying to clean up messy QC stuff (UCI). About two years ago was it, and since then I have need to buy new one. Well still didn't do it (UCI = you never know what you'll get + didn't find a steal price till now). Still tempted though....
I feel you, I also broke several parts of figures. Even threw one that was beyond recovery. If it did bother me a lot at first, I guess now the enjoyment of having the character to look at overshines some imperfections. I see it the same way as when the company had some issues with the painting or anything else. And then, I was stressing during all the video, looking at your broad movements near Remu... ^^' That grown-up and more dark look of Remu is really nice and original too. I feel somehow interested by it.
@@ZuccoFigures Sure was. It was a dark time, when I didn't properly set my figures in a somewhat safe place. And after falling 3 to 5 times, and being badly glued, it was time to accept I messed up. :p
Ive damaged a Sukuna Nendoroid, for some reason it was idk very fragile, like his hands fingers broke idk how just by touching it and putting in the hands. Thank g Amazon had some in stock and it wasnt a 3rd party meaning I could swap it. Amazon returns are generally really good since they just trash every return whether still good or not and it doesnt dent Amazon stocks all that much. Initially it was bought online from a figure distributor and those dont accept return unless unopen in original condition or contacting manufacturer. I had rather not go through all that with mosg likely not getting a replacement so I went the scummy route 😅 Mayhaps the broken one was a bootleg? Because the 2ne one was alot easier to manage and smoother to place the hands. Anyway, yeah thats the only one ive broken oh and my resin, a small part fell from my hand while sitting on the floor, not even one feet high and it just shattered, fortunately the piece went on the back therefore it isnt visable if its missing.
Actually ... I did the same. My fav. figure is Astaroth by MegaHouse. During the move to my current house she got damaged. A hand snapped off ; that was repeared easily and very well. However, her base got damaged too and no matter what I tried, she kept listing a lot. In the end, I decided to rebuy her ; just for the base :o ... But I can't buy the base itself and I can't repair the current one. And she needs to be in my collection. Like I said, she's my fav. So ... I really understand :)
It's very hard if not impossible to find replacements for stuff like weapons or bases. You pretty much HAVE to buy another figure unless you get extremely lucky so yeah I get where you are comin from
I've damaged one of my figures right when I unboxed it. Instantly hated my life for a second, but I wasn't prepared well. This girl had a gigantic witch hat with a magnet inside and I totally misscalculated the weight. Luckily, only a piece of hair at the back of her head broke apart, which was easily glued and it's not visible, as long as no one turnes the figure around.
I recently broke the (at the time) most expensive figure in my collection while putting her together. I got the only existing scale figure of Metallia from the game "The witch and the hundred knight". I got her used (so she was slightly bent in places - which I did not notice), while building her she has to fit 4 places at the same time (which partially have to be slot in beforehand) and she is very stylised (her arms and legs are almost as thin as the ones of Sonic the hedgehog), so her right foot broke off. To glue it back on in a way she fits in all of the 4 places, I had to slightly push her leg up, squeeze the glue in and then release the leg... So I did not see where the glue went until it was too late. Run all over her foot/shoe. Tried to remove it, damaged the paint where the glue went off, in the other places the glue was not budging. RIP. Idk if Iwill be trying to fix her gluey foot in the future, for now I display her anyway in an angle where her other leg blocks the view on that foot as much as possible. Since that every used figure I bought was in a worse condition as discribed by the seller. I might have angered the figure gods or something 😅
I've always liked that figure but never played the game so I talked myself out of buying her. Fairly ambitious sculpt for a figure from 2014 though and like you said very stylized. Sorry to hear about the damages
@@ZuccoFigures The game is good (though a little too grindy for me in places), I recommend the hd version if you have PS4 (the non hd version is playable on a decent PS3 emulator). While I agree that it was ambitious for the time, the paint job and quality is not as good as my Good Smile 1/7 Death Master from 2011 (but more detailed)... But I love her. Thank you.
I would've done the same if I really liked the figure and just sell the broken one. Its good that you found a great deal for the new one! Is there a right kind of super glue to use for fixing figures or is it just unavoidable? (sorry for the noob question hehe i'm still fairly new to the hobby)
tbh that's something I need to learn myself. I've always just used crazy/gorilla glue and its worked fine though I know with model kits they have something called liquid cement. Have no idea if thats safe to try on scale figures but I do own a bottle of it somewhere since I used to mess around with model kits
I received a damaged naberal gamma but since her aftermarket was so high i didn’t get around to replacing her, that is until alter announced her rerelease. So I sold my damaged copy for around 100€ and will pick up the rerelease once its out. Reimu looks gorgeous, i really adore the touhouvania figures and hope they‘ll do some more. I love that blue archive bunny and have been contemplating on buying it for a while but i still haven’t reached a decision yet T-T
We got Flandre to look forward to in October I think? Gonna be a good one, but I hope we get a few more to round the series out. Had a few nitpicks with Neru but I'm very happy with her. The price currently isn't great though which makes her harder to recommend
I would have probably done the same for a figure that I really liked and couldn't bear to see it in that state. That, or I would just get a "better" figure of the same character (from a different company/newer design) and banish the broken one into the box realm (until I decide to sell it off). The desk hack gave me ideas though! haha might copy it when I take photos of my figures,,
I was in Japan and looking for the neru as well as karin figure, and lo & behold, its oos everywhere. only option is probably mercari or mfc sales, if there will ever be some
W as always. I recently got the default Karin by max factory and it's my first time being "victim" of weird scaling. She is smaller than both Asuna and Neru even tho they are all suposed to be 1/7, and it looks so wrong side by side lmao. She looks awesome tho, a bit dissapointed with the size but oh well. I had 1 figure break, my dad broke it by accident haha. It was a Keke Tang (Love Live) figma, one of the arms broke in a way that couldn't just be replaced with the parts that come with it but he felt bad and got me a new one (goat). Now I have 2 Keke Tangs even tho 1 has a fixed arm with glue, can't complain 🤭. In this case it was really easily replaced and not thaaat expensive but damn, weirdly, it still felt so bad because of the attatchment side + it was a rough time in life.
Weird that max factory would fumble with the size like that, but as long as the figure looks good its fine I guess. I wonder if my parents would replace a figure they broke lol. They are very supporting overall but never really loved my collecting habits
I've damaged one of my favorite figures when the shelf she was on collapsed orz I'm really torn about replacing her, the damage is only visible up close but i know it's there.. and her aftermarket isn't great so i would have to pay way more for the new one..
Wait, where'd you get that lens cleaner, I feel like that's the perfect solution for what I need? Also I have contemplated replacing figures I've broken, but the Fire Emblem Camilla scale goes for about 100K yen and it's only the back that I damaged the bit so I ignore that until I feel it wouldn't run me financially to get her again as she was my first figure.
I've been really thinking about getting that Marin Swimsuit fig by Aniplex. I can get it for $160 on TOM, and I don't normally do swimsuit figures. In fact I only own one and that one is Vivi from One Piece and that was the first figure I ever owned so its not the best, but I still keep it in my Detolf for sentimental reasons. But yeah, I did decent on that TOM lottery thing a month or two ago so I have this $15 off coupon I have to use on something before the end of March. I don't really like pre-ordering things from TOM, so I'd ideally want to get something in stock.
My TOM experience has been mostly good so far. I don't really love staying subscribed to a service that I don't plan to always use but everything I've ordered from them has arrived safely and the prices were good after all the points shenanigans
I have luckily never broke a figure before. But I'd probably buy a new one and sell the broken one, like you're intending 😅 I don't think that's such a crazy thing to do
I don’t really break my figures but more my resins…😅 I did scratch the base of my ff7 tifa figure but I hate the quality of that figure so much that I will never replace her. If I do love a figure/statue it does bother me if I know something is broken on it, so I supppse getting a double of one of your favorite figures is okay 👍.
Not dumb. I'll tell you what is dumb: I damaged my set of 1/8 Cowboy Bebop figures and, when the rerelease came around, I ended up buying them again. You might think "okay, understandable", but I ultimately ended up selling both the damaged set and the new set, lol. I kind of felt before buying the replacements that I wasn't THAT in love with the figures, but I went and did it anyway. If I damaged one of my favorite figures, I would probably buy it again as long as the aftermarket wasn't horrific. (My one exception being my very first figure. It's damaged, but... I would feel guilty replacing that one specifically because of sentimental attachment.)
A little excessive I suppose but I think its for the best to sell off figures you aren't in love with anymore. You just had to take extra steps to get there lol
They don't typically reopen preorders but its very likely they will have some extra stock when the figure is released. Might take a little bit longer for them to actually relist that extra stock though, but usually they do include the bonuses
If this is one of your most favorite figures AND you managed to get a great deal on the marketplace, I see no reason for feeling guilty about buying it a second time. I've done it twice for two of my favorite (thankfully cheap prize) figures in the past. ❤
I have a damaged resin, but the damage is on a small removable part that doesn't add to the whole composition, so no waaay I'm replacing that whole figure. Glue and forget. But I actually totally see myself getting a replacement figure for, let's say, the Ten count boys if I were ever to break them slightly and if there was a good deal. So it's not like it's an absolutely insane of a thing to do 😂 maybe just a little 😅
@ZuccoFigures I have 3, unboxed 2. The first one has that damage, the second one is flawless, but the damage to the 1st one was done after the assembly when I picked it up somewhat carelessly. But OMG, assembling a resin makes my stress hormones go up the charts, I sweat like crazy. It's a very intense experience.
I had an issue with the magnet not clicking into place as it was installed on the opposite end. Fortunately I was still under "warranty" and got a replacement shipped. I doubt they be willing to replace a broken part from misuse or handling since they wanted videos and pictures and everything otherwise they weren't going to replace it. So yeah, sometimes it just better to glue it together and thats it. Too much hassle communicating and not knowing if you'll get a replacement or not, especially resin
I mostly collect prize figures, so when they break I just glue them generally. I've never broken one so bad it needed replacing, or that it was one I cared enough to replace...And I only have the one scale figure, the Amakuni Jaden Yuki, and while I haven't broken anything on him...His handful of cards fell when I was displaying him and just...Disappeared into the either. I've looked so many times for them only to come up empty handed(pun not intended) so...He lives in his box now. And probably forever until I get a shelf for him.
Personally, I sometimes get two copies of a figure i like just to unbox one and keep the other sealed. Of course it won't work for expensive scales, more like nendos, action figures such as SHF\Figma and so on.
That's a pretty common practice with video game collecting and I actually bought two of Mio's Figma so I can relate, though I'm unsure if I'm leaving the second one sealed or opening both. I guess we'll see
Lol I totally get wanting to buy a replacement fig. I think my worst one was breaking my medicom Maka ,and also applied too much super glue so it seeped out😭 I learned to like her again after ignoring her for months lol but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a new one if they’d ever rerelease it. Absolutely not touching her current aftermarket🙅♀️
It was actually in a lens cleaning kit my older brother gave me lol. probably not worth buying the whole kit for it but im sure they sell them seperately
Zucco, are you stupid for buying a second copy to replace a broken-first copy? Maybe and I cant blame you for feeling of wanting to replace something you REALLY love, plus you also said you can sell the broken copy. That's the collector's mindset, I completely understand. At this point of my collecting life, I have asked myself that dilemma too and Ive have come to a content-compromise (so to speak) For both my figures and mangas that are either broken, dinked corners, bad misprint copy, etc. I would try to fix it and keep the copy myself because I personally do not want anyone else to have a broken/bad copy IF I were to re-sell the figure or manga. Unless they wouldnt mind it and of course, I would be honest with my copy
Ive had more luck getting replacement parts for my GK figures than my official figures. The official channels almost never respond back or just tell you are out of luck, but the GK distributors contact the studio on your behalf and ive gotten a whole head replaced as well as broken.... dildo replaced. Just had to pay shipping my way.
Good Smile Company is pretty good when it comes to replacement parts but yeah pretty much every other company wont care. I dont own any GKs but its nice to know they are willing to help
Can't say yes or no really cuz it depends on individuals. Personally, I may have further seek out someone well versed with repairs and try to salvage it, however it may cost a lot more. For the opportunity you were presented with (which I may jump at too), and that you also tried your best at repairing.. cut yourself some slack man. Maybe sell/give away the figure to avoid reminding yourself of the 'pain'.
it's totally fine to buy a new one if the older one broke...as long as you don't starve yourself! That's what makes it stupid... But i believe Zucco won't have the ability to go broke anyway!
I don't think that you're stupid for buying her again. I have two figures I broke off parts while cleaning them 😔I will not replace them, because a) their aftermarket price is insane - and b) it happened to parts that are not really visible. But everytime I clean them now I am super anxious that something else might break.
I broke in a few places that Dramatical murder Aoba figure thats now like $600, kinda feel stupid but I did see other people on MFC who also broke those stupid birds off
i broke my damn archer figure sorry my mom broke his arrow part Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works - Archer - ALTAiR (Alter). was first expensive figure. the bow snapped when trying to put it on cause wasnt sitting properly on hand. well not exactly snapped wouldnt go back in tiny pegs together. it's so sad. but with newest figure im buying which costs more then that one i will treasure it. also I'm more invested in this series. its such a shame when something breaks. i have him displayed with daggers such a shame. well he more expensive now so nvm im thinking of when i bought him
If we want to talk about being stupid.... I'm getting to a point where storing these boxes is getting out of hand. I am considering trashing the plastic shells altogether and flattening these boxes instead. It is so sacrilegious in my mind though XD
I actually ended up doin that cause I got contacted right after this video went up lol. Did 65 cause the shipping was kinda hefty but since I also got the tapestry I think thats fine
Don’t worry about buying another figure because breaking is a genuine reason. Honestly I’m kinda of a dumbass for buying 2 of the same Mafex figure (Mafex Batman hush blue reissue), a hard to find figure. I don’t plan on selling it or using it for anything else besides the stupid pleasure of having a boxed version lol
Dunno why I called Uniguri a porcupine when he's clearly a hedgehog lul
Imagine the sweat those nendoes got while standing on the very edge of the table listening to your lamenting about uncontollable gesticulation and watching your arms flying back and forth over them...
They were praying for their lives I swear.
Yeah thats why one was vomiting and the other sticking their tongue out lol
Usually not commenting, but I feel like I have to once in a while. Been following your videos for some months now (or even a year at this point? Where's the time gone ... ) and I'm as impressed as ever about how you review figures. So eloquently, so very descriptive. It's always a joy to hear you ramble about them even if I myself might not be too familiar or even interested in them. I feel like this sets you apart from other figure tubers.

Not stupid, IMHO. While I have yet to rebuy something that isn't a video game, I have definitely been tempted to repurchase an imperfect or damaged item I love. Even now, I struggle to not rebuy the collector's editions of several anime movies that are dear to my heart, that arrived damaged because Amazon Japan couldn't be bothered to package their stuff properly.
Thank you, Zucco, for making me realize I am not alone in these desires. ;)
I'm just sayin if Amazon Japan Damages my XB3 Aionios Moments artwork I will be complaining. Can't stand it when they poorly package stuff
I love the Neru figure. She definitely pairs better with with the Max Factory Asuna rather then the Good Smile ver. Still my Blue Archive collection will continue to grow lol
Yeah I agree. I think because Neru is leaning forward and still shorter it works out even if her head is massive lol
Yep. Especially articulated figures, there's usually no good enough fix.
that reimu looks so good! I wish I was into the touhouvania style but just watching you unbox it is good enough for me lol. However I do have the solarain reimu preordered and am hoping it lives up to the promo images.
Wish I knew more about Solarain but the prototype looks great
For the record, your general recommendations of Ques Q in your preorder round ups got me to pull the trigger on my first ever scale: Bondrewd lmao. Hype as hell to get it, always happy to see a video from you!
I was so close to buying Bondrewd. That figure is awesome. Just wasn't in the cards at the time but I'm sure you'll love it.
@@ZuccoFigures Honestly I went back and forth on it for a while, but the badass different shades of black just kept calling to me lol.

Can totally relate. Broken figures or figures that I sold and have sellers remorse for are a huge trigger for my (mild) OCD tendencies, and has resulted in me buying some figures up to 4 times over the years. I get the mindworm that my collection is incomplete unless I have a "complete" copy of the figure or if my collection is missing something I used to have. I am getting better, especially on the seller's remorse front, at accepting that I need to live with purchasing/ selling decisions and that a little glue doesn't invalidate the quality of my collection.
My Neru has her angry face.
I'm thankful I don't have too much sellers remorse, though I used to be very bad about stuff like box damage. I just hate the idea of buying something new and I get it damaged in the mail. Very guilty of returning videogames in the mail if they came smooshed for example, or even manga if they weren't packaged correctly and get bent up or something. Can't really do the same with figures but I legit hate buying from places that use UPS cause I have a terrible track record of receiving damaged boxes from them
Got a Mash that was broken for cheap. One of my newer ones, a fox girl on some rainbow flames, one of the flames I snapped off trying to get her placed in them. Although I wonder if they were glued in in the first place.
And finally, after having it for 10 years or whenever it came out, the basic Tenshi figure in her uniform with the wide wings. My hand just grazed one of the wings and snapped the top peg holding it in. Somehow it still looks fine, but it was a bit disheartening. I say a bit because it's always given me troubles trying to keep her standing (she's fallen from height, and I tried using tape around her foot to keep her up), and I eventually got the 1/7th version in the goth loli dress anyway.
older figures are more likely to just become brittle over time sadly. I know thats happened to me before but I can't recall which figure off the top of my head
I haven't broke a scale figure yet *knock on wood* but I do have some prize figures that broke during moves and a nendo where one piece is broken. I have definitely consider and almost picked up a replacement for them even though it isn't a noticeable break.
Great haul though! I'm always so tempted by the blue archive figures even though I haven't played the game or anything
I don't play it either. I just stumbled face first into this literal rabbit hole lol. I only plan to buy the bunny figures but we'll see if I can stick to that
I only brought one figure because I damaged it. It was the Morgana nendoroid, his rubber at the legs got damaged so I pulled the trigger as he got a rerelease (I got lucky, he got listed with a wrong price so I spend 10€ less than the actual preorder price). As a nice bonus they changed his box design to fit the other phantom thieves better. That's one of the reasons why I decided to keep both.
And nendoroids are cheap compared to scale figures.
If I would ever end up to damage one of my Akechi scales I would cry and pay for a new one. The aftermarket is brutal for both but I need my boy in perfect condition.
Replacing figures is definitely easier when they are cheaper. If I never found this second Remilia for the price I did I likely wouldn't have bought another. Deal hunting is very fun for me though so I'm glad I stumbled into this deal
I mainly collect magical girls and bought Kotobukiya's Tsuruno Yui from Magic Record. Her combat weapons are folding fans with ribbons at the binding joint. The ribbons for the figure are obviously plastic and are so small, any pressure causes them to snap off. The hole in Tsuruno's palm is awkwardly placed, and the peg on the fan would not stay in place. Naturally, one time the fan falls, and I struggle to return it to her palm...only for the ribbon to snap off. A few weeks go by, and in frustration I order a new Tsuruno Yui. Only for the same ribbon on the same fan in her same right hand to snap off again after again struggling to keep the peg in her palm. So yeah, now both are in storage.
bleh that's rough. These figures can be so fragile at times. Honestly It's only a matter of time till I damage my new Remilia lol
I received Reimu about 3 days ago (first ques q figure)... she is so ambitious and delicate. So so beautiful! But like you mentioned, on the small side. Ques q really did an amazing job! Awesome haul!
I'm looking for the recolor now..
I was surprised with the direction they took with the recolor. I do like it though. I feel like I read opinions weren't too high on it, but that doesn't matter much
I haven't broken a figure as of now. But I did lose an end to a hand knife and it's clear as day. I wouldn't say I wouldn't replace something if the price was right and if it really is a nicely done figure. I have only had one figure arrive broken, but it was fixable and couldn't see it. Factory flawed where it was like glue in the pants line, I just sold it and took a loss. I really couldn't ignore it.
I buy duplicates of things I like just to store in case there's a damage on one of my copy and I have a spare so I won't need to pay high price points in case i accidentally broke my copy, which mind you what I like USUALLY goes up in price.I don't sell my collections but I love how I have an option to gain a profit if I actually do.
Similar comments to what i wrote on mfc when i got neru early. Even tho the hair color seems weaker compared to the prototype 1, its actually closer to the art. As a huge fan of blue archive, im happy that you went through and got this neru fig.
If Max Factory can just hurry it up I'll be buyin a few more Blue Archive figs lol
Love the haul and the little story of the Remi figure, I have also considered like 10 times to buy a replacement for a figure I broke soon after buying it, but then I feel like the broken parts give it a personal feel and that I should use money for other things. Nevertheless, I also got that Reimu figure and the quality is so astounding that it is hard to believe
If I didnt break Remilia the day I unboxed I probably would feel the same way but man it made me salty at the time. Had her stored for years and just had to be careless lol. Reimu truly is spectacular. Pretty much a 10/10 figure
My cat broke one of my figures back when I had just started collecting, I was pretty naive and I bought it from a local store, turns out the figure was a bootleg so I'm not upset at all, but it did make me learn the lesson as to where to display them, so now I have shelves with glass doors so I don't have to worry about it. (I'm also never buying bootlegs again)
But I did drop my Nakano Nino scale figure from Kotobukiya, it fell from about 1,5m but by a miracle she didn't get damaged at all, but I definitely learned a lesson to take more care when moving them, my collection is still pretty small (23 figures) but I love this hobby, the only problem is import tax, not only are the wages low since I live in a third world county, but I also have to worry about import tax, "stimulate the national industry" my ass, anyways, it's hard to collect because of this, but I don't care, it's fun.
Import tax is such crap. I'm lucky I get to dodge it as an American, though they did raise prices across the board for us during covid by quite alot so I still get to suffer a little bit
First! Hehe. I didn’t know about the Linkin Park Nendos, omg. The K-Angel Nendoroid packaging is very pretty. Might pick her up with the GSC bonus, cause separating that girl from her meds is a crime. Also, I just love morbid accessories. I recently got her Pop Up Parade and also that silly SEGA prize figure with the weird face, just as a Meme.
She's definitely worth it if you enjoy nendos. One of the nicer ones I've seen in person in quite a while
I have never damaged damage a 100-300 dollar figure.
I damaged a 4000 dollar statue. Luckily it was an insignificant part of the base as opposed to the character and epoxy worked decent. It's not at all noticable.
The only figure I've replaced is due to color transfer, it came with a red cushin and.. apprentally it bleeds onto the figure.... replaced, now displaying w/o cushin.
I know the moment I get one of those expensive statues I'm gonna break something on it lol. Just seemed inevitable
idk if it counts as damage cus it was intentional, but the Jibril freeing bunny I got, the wings would NOT fit into the holes made for them to put it together so I used my box cutter to gently shave down the nubs so they fit XD
nah I wouldn't count that. Just a flaw with the figure
As for the damaged figures, I had just unboxed the Black Bunny Aoi and White Bunny Natsume. Natsume's bunny ear broke while trying to put it in the key. Both figures had issues going on their stands and just in general. Also, I had purchased an old used Nymph figure from HLP. The hair had broke on arrival sadly. I ended up using Lexel for both, and id say they look good still
I've heard complaints about the bunny figures before. Shame that seems to be a consistent issue, but at least you like em despite the damage
I dont know if the supplier would have offered to sell you JUST the spear (if it was removable) but I would have emailed them and given it a shot. I had a broken hair piece (OOB failure) on a figure from i-forgot-who and they sent me the entire top-half of the figure as warranty replacement.
But otherwise, 100% support re-buying a completely new figure so long as it's within your means. I had a few possessions I cared about over the years which had accidental scuff on it, but that ate away at me and invaded my thoughts from time to time lol. If I wasn't a broke student back then I would have definitely bought replacements.
Unfortunately with the figure currently out of print the likelyhood of a replacement is low, plus I don't think the company actually offers to replace parts.
Been considering for a long time buying a replacement for my bishoujo morrigan figure, so you're not alone in pulling the trigger on that ajfkgklaf on one hand it's a lot of money but on the other I don't really wanna replace it, it was the very first scale I bought so even if it has a lil broken wing on her head she still has a special place in my shelf.
That sentimental attachment is probably more important in the long run
It's like when I bought a Fate scale figure and noticed one day that there seemed to be a discoloration on her nose. I couldn't remove it, so I bought another one. Luckily it was cheap. But she had the same discoloration. Exactly the same. I really like the figure, and now I have two. The discoloration must be on every single one of them. I can't quite work out what it is either.
Yeah some figures just have design flaws. Could be worth touching up yourself one day especially since you have two
@@ZuccoFigures I am too scared to try! But I have thought about it.
Thought we might see Bombergirl Aqua in this haul 👀
Can’t wait to see your thoughts on her, she might already be my figure of the year - worth every penny
Sorry I wanted to get this video out before Feb ended so Aqua will most likely be covered in March. That massive AmiAmi box is just teasing me across the room.
I did damaged Albedo so bin figure when trying to clean up messy QC stuff (UCI). About two years ago was it, and since then I have need to buy new one. Well still didn't do it (UCI = you never know what you'll get + didn't find a steal price till now). Still tempted though....
I feel you, I also broke several parts of figures. Even threw one that was beyond recovery. If it did bother me a lot at first, I guess now the enjoyment of having the character to look at overshines some imperfections. I see it the same way as when the company had some issues with the painting or anything else.
And then, I was stressing during all the video, looking at your broad movements near Remu... ^^'
That grown-up and more dark look of Remu is really nice and original too. I feel somehow interested by it.
Throwing a figure must feel pretty cathartic, but yeah I really gotta settle down when I have expensive things on the desk lol
@@ZuccoFigures Sure was. It was a dark time, when I didn't properly set my figures in a somewhat safe place. And after falling 3 to 5 times, and being badly glued, it was time to accept I messed up. :p
Ive damaged a Sukuna Nendoroid, for some reason it was idk very fragile, like his hands fingers broke idk how just by touching it and putting in the hands. Thank g Amazon had some in stock and it wasnt a 3rd party meaning I could swap it. Amazon returns are generally really good since they just trash every return whether still good or not and it doesnt dent Amazon stocks all that much. Initially it was bought online from a figure distributor and those dont accept return unless unopen in original condition or contacting manufacturer. I had rather not go through all that with mosg likely not getting a replacement so I went the scummy route 😅 Mayhaps the broken one was a bootleg? Because the 2ne one was alot easier to manage and smoother to place the hands. Anyway, yeah thats the only one ive broken oh and my resin, a small part fell from my hand while sitting on the floor, not even one feet high and it just shattered, fortunately the piece went on the back therefore it isnt visable if its missing.
Actually ... I did the same. My fav. figure is Astaroth by MegaHouse. During the move to my current house she got damaged. A hand snapped off ; that was repeared easily and very well.
However, her base got damaged too and no matter what I tried, she kept listing a lot.
In the end, I decided to rebuy her ; just for the base :o ...
But I can't buy the base itself and I can't repair the current one. And she needs to be in my collection.
Like I said, she's my fav. So ... I really understand :)
It's very hard if not impossible to find replacements for stuff like weapons or bases. You pretty much HAVE to buy another figure unless you get extremely lucky so yeah I get where you are comin from
I've damaged one of my figures right when I unboxed it. Instantly hated my life for a second, but I wasn't prepared well. This girl had a gigantic witch hat with a magnet inside and I totally misscalculated the weight. Luckily, only a piece of hair at the back of her head broke apart, which was easily glued and it's not visible, as long as no one turnes the figure around.
I recently broke the (at the time) most expensive figure in my collection while putting her together. I got the only existing scale figure of Metallia from the game "The witch and the hundred knight". I got her used (so she was slightly bent in places - which I did not notice), while building her she has to fit 4 places at the same time (which partially have to be slot in beforehand) and she is very stylised (her arms and legs are almost as thin as the ones of Sonic the hedgehog), so her right foot broke off. To glue it back on in a way she fits in all of the 4 places, I had to slightly push her leg up, squeeze the glue in and then release the leg... So I did not see where the glue went until it was too late. Run all over her foot/shoe. Tried to remove it, damaged the paint where the glue went off, in the other places the glue was not budging. RIP. Idk if Iwill be trying to fix her gluey foot in the future, for now I display her anyway in an angle where her other leg blocks the view on that foot as much as possible.
Since that every used figure I bought was in a worse condition as discribed by the seller. I might have angered the figure gods or something 😅
I've always liked that figure but never played the game so I talked myself out of buying her. Fairly ambitious sculpt for a figure from 2014 though and like you said very stylized. Sorry to hear about the damages
@@ZuccoFigures The game is good (though a little too grindy for me in places), I recommend the hd version if you have PS4 (the non hd version is playable on a decent PS3 emulator). While I agree that it was ambitious for the time, the paint job and quality is not as good as my Good Smile 1/7 Death Master from 2011 (but more detailed)... But I love her. Thank you.
I would've done the same if I really liked the figure and just sell the broken one. Its good that you found a great deal for the new one! Is there a right kind of super glue to use for fixing figures or is it just unavoidable? (sorry for the noob question hehe i'm still fairly new to the hobby)
tbh that's something I need to learn myself. I've always just used crazy/gorilla glue and its worked fine though I know with model kits they have something called liquid cement. Have no idea if thats safe to try on scale figures but I do own a bottle of it somewhere since I used to mess around with model kits
I received a damaged naberal gamma but since her aftermarket was so high i didn’t get around to replacing her, that is until alter announced her rerelease. So I sold my damaged copy for around 100€ and will pick up the rerelease once its out.
Reimu looks gorgeous, i really adore the touhouvania figures and hope they‘ll do some more.
I love that blue archive bunny and have been contemplating on buying it for a while but i still haven’t reached a decision yet T-T
We got Flandre to look forward to in October I think? Gonna be a good one, but I hope we get a few more to round the series out. Had a few nitpicks with Neru but I'm very happy with her. The price currently isn't great though which makes her harder to recommend
I would have probably done the same for a figure that I really liked and couldn't bear to see it in that state. That, or I would just get a "better" figure of the same character (from a different company/newer design) and banish the broken one into the box realm (until I decide to sell it off). The desk hack gave me ideas though! haha might copy it when I take photos of my figures,,
I was in Japan and looking for the neru as well as karin figure, and lo & behold, its oos everywhere. only option is probably mercari or mfc sales, if there will ever be some
Blue Archive hype is just crazy right now. One of the few franchises where you're better off just preordering instead of waiting for price drops
W as always. I recently got the default Karin by max factory and it's my first time being "victim" of weird scaling. She is smaller than both Asuna and Neru even tho they are all suposed to be 1/7, and it looks so wrong side by side lmao. She looks awesome tho, a bit dissapointed with the size but oh well.
I had 1 figure break, my dad broke it by accident haha. It was a Keke Tang (Love Live) figma, one of the arms broke in a way that couldn't just be replaced with the parts that come with it but he felt bad and got me a new one (goat). Now I have 2 Keke Tangs even tho 1 has a fixed arm with glue, can't complain 🤭. In this case it was really easily replaced and not thaaat expensive but damn, weirdly, it still felt so bad because of the attatchment side + it was a rough time in life.
Weird that max factory would fumble with the size like that, but as long as the figure looks good its fine I guess. I wonder if my parents would replace a figure they broke lol. They are very supporting overall but never really loved my collecting habits
I've damaged one of my favorite figures when the shelf she was on collapsed orz I'm really torn about replacing her, the damage is only visible up close but i know it's there.. and her aftermarket isn't great so i would have to pay way more for the new one..
Ah thats a big fear of mine. I always hear theres a small chance of Detolf shelves exploding and if that happens there's gonna be alot of damages
Wait, where'd you get that lens cleaner, I feel like that's the perfect solution for what I need?
Also I have contemplated replacing figures I've broken, but the Fire Emblem Camilla scale goes for about 100K yen and it's only the back that I damaged the bit so I ignore that until I feel it wouldn't run me financially to get her again as she was my first figure.
It was in a camera cleaning kit, wish I had a link but my brother gave it to me. Camilla....yeah best to just forget about the damages lol
I've been really thinking about getting that Marin Swimsuit fig by Aniplex. I can get it for $160 on TOM, and I don't normally do swimsuit figures. In fact I only own one and that one is Vivi from One Piece and that was the first figure I ever owned so its not the best, but I still keep it in my Detolf for sentimental reasons.
But yeah, I did decent on that TOM lottery thing a month or two ago so I have this $15 off coupon I have to use on something before the end of March. I don't really like pre-ordering things from TOM, so I'd ideally want to get something in stock.
My TOM experience has been mostly good so far. I don't really love staying subscribed to a service that I don't plan to always use but everything I've ordered from them has arrived safely and the prices were good after all the points shenanigans
I have luckily never broke a figure before. But I'd probably buy a new one and sell the broken one, like you're intending 😅 I don't think that's such a crazy thing to do
I see nothing wrong here... I would do the same thing with Rem for the right price... 😆 Cough cough eStream Crystal Rem...
Word, the problem is the right price is gonna be tough to find for that one. Also congrats on the 10k
@ZuccoFigures Haha thanks Zucco! I didn't do the exact same thing but I did get her Demon version so pretty close... 🤣
I don’t really break my figures but more my resins…😅
I did scratch the base of my ff7 tifa figure but I hate the quality of that figure so much that I will never replace her.
If I do love a figure/statue it does bother me if I know something is broken on it, so I supppse getting a double of one of your favorite figures is okay 👍.
Square really gotta outsource their Final fantasy characters to other companies cause I'm tired of their quality being forced onto good franchises lol
Not dumb. I'll tell you what is dumb: I damaged my set of 1/8 Cowboy Bebop figures and, when the rerelease came around, I ended up buying them again. You might think "okay, understandable", but I ultimately ended up selling both the damaged set and the new set, lol. I kind of felt before buying the replacements that I wasn't THAT in love with the figures, but I went and did it anyway. If I damaged one of my favorite figures, I would probably buy it again as long as the aftermarket wasn't horrific. (My one exception being my very first figure. It's damaged, but... I would feel guilty replacing that one specifically because of sentimental attachment.)
A little excessive I suppose but I think its for the best to sell off figures you aren't in love with anymore. You just had to take extra steps to get there lol
Also does Good Smile reopen pre orders? Im sad a I missed a couple of them like Teto Nendo because only GS has the circle base sigh 😔
They don't typically reopen preorders but its very likely they will have some extra stock when the figure is released. Might take a little bit longer for them to actually relist that extra stock though, but usually they do include the bonuses
If this is one of your most favorite figures AND you managed to get a great deal on the marketplace, I see no reason for feeling guilty about buying it a second time. I've done it twice for two of my favorite (thankfully cheap prize) figures in the past. ❤
True. The spear is just a tiny piece of the figure is all
I have a damaged resin, but the damage is on a small removable part that doesn't add to the whole composition, so no waaay I'm replacing that whole figure. Glue and forget.
But I actually totally see myself getting a replacement figure for, let's say, the Ten count boys if I were ever to break them slightly and if there was a good deal. So it's not like it's an absolutely insane of a thing to do 😂 maybe just a little 😅
Resin and damage go together like PB&J. I'm usually impressed when someone unboxes one of those statues and they don't break something lol
@ZuccoFigures I have 3, unboxed 2. The first one has that damage, the second one is flawless, but the damage to the 1st one was done after the assembly when I picked it up somewhat carelessly. But OMG, assembling a resin makes my stress hormones go up the charts, I sweat like crazy. It's a very intense experience.
I had an issue with the magnet not clicking into place as it was installed on the opposite end. Fortunately I was still under "warranty" and got a replacement shipped. I doubt they be willing to replace a broken part from misuse or handling since they wanted videos and pictures and everything otherwise they weren't going to replace it. So yeah, sometimes it just better to glue it together and thats it. Too much hassle communicating and not knowing if you'll get a replacement or not, especially resin
I mostly collect prize figures, so when they break I just glue them generally. I've never broken one so bad it needed replacing, or that it was one I cared enough to replace...And I only have the one scale figure, the Amakuni Jaden Yuki, and while I haven't broken anything on him...His handful of cards fell when I was displaying him and just...Disappeared into the either. I've looked so many times for them only to come up empty handed(pun not intended) so...He lives in his box now. And probably forever until I get a shelf for him.
Those tiny cards that Yugioh figures come with are so easy to lose. Just get absorbed into the carpet when they fall off the figure lol
Personally, I sometimes get two copies of a figure i like just to unbox one and keep the other sealed. Of course it won't work for expensive scales, more like nendos, action figures such as SHF\Figma and so on.
That's a pretty common practice with video game collecting and I actually bought two of Mio's Figma so I can relate, though I'm unsure if I'm leaving the second one sealed or opening both. I guess we'll see
Oh wow, never thought about doing this with video games.. But when it comes to Mio's figma that's a power move!@@ZuccoFigures
Lol I totally get wanting to buy a replacement fig. I think my worst one was breaking my medicom Maka ,and also applied too much super glue so it seeped out😭
I learned to like her again after ignoring her for months lol but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a new one if they’d ever rerelease it. Absolutely not touching her current aftermarket🙅♀️
Oof yeah that's a rough one to damage considering her rarity, but I know there are tons of people who would die to own her in any condition lol
where do you get that small dust blower? its better than a can of compressed air😅
It was actually in a lens cleaning kit my older brother gave me lol. probably not worth buying the whole kit for it but im sure they sell them seperately
ty@@ZuccoFigures
God I can't wait for my Neru to come in... I ordered surface unfortunately since I had a couple other orders grouped together
Always best to save money when you can. The cheaper shipping + points I had was why I went with Otaku Mode in the end
God the t shirt goes so hard
Love it, though I shoulda bought one size larger I think
I haven't broken one of my figures, yet.
Personally, I'm way too cautious when near my girls!
nah swinging your arms around is cool and gives you personality
Thank you for making my morning let’s go more zucco
Zucco, are you stupid for buying a second copy to replace a broken-first copy? Maybe and I cant blame you for feeling of wanting to replace something you REALLY love, plus you also said you can sell the broken copy. That's the collector's mindset, I completely understand. At this point of my collecting life, I have asked myself that dilemma too and Ive have come to a content-compromise (so to speak) For both my figures and mangas that are either broken, dinked corners, bad misprint copy, etc. I would try to fix it and keep the copy myself because I personally do not want anyone else to have a broken/bad copy IF I were to re-sell the figure or manga. Unless they wouldnt mind it and of course, I would be honest with my copy
Ive had more luck getting replacement parts for my GK figures than my official figures. The official channels almost never respond back or just tell you are out of luck, but the GK distributors contact the studio on your behalf and ive gotten a whole head replaced as well as broken.... dildo replaced. Just had to pay shipping my way.
Good Smile Company is pretty good when it comes to replacement parts but yeah pretty much every other company wont care. I dont own any GKs but its nice to know they are willing to help
Keep them both. One in the box and the broken One exposed
Can't say yes or no really cuz it depends on individuals. Personally, I may have further seek out someone well versed with repairs and try to salvage it, however it may cost a lot more.
For the opportunity you were presented with (which I may jump at too), and that you also tried your best at repairing.. cut yourself some slack man. Maybe sell/give away the figure to avoid reminding yourself of the 'pain'.
a few people already contacted me about buying her off me so she'll end up in a good home
it's totally fine to buy a new one if the older one broke...as long as you don't starve yourself! That's what makes it stupid... But i believe Zucco won't have the ability to go broke anyway!
I don't think that you're stupid for buying her again. I have two figures I broke off parts while cleaning them 😔I will not replace them, because a) their aftermarket price is insane - and b) it happened to parts that are not really visible. But everytime I clean them now I am super anxious that something else might break.
This Remilia figure is just so damn fragile feeling and hard to hold that even taking her out of the detolf for this video had me stressed
@@ZuccoFigures I feel you 😅
"I'm stupid for buying this?"
Oh come on Zucco dont to harsh on yourself~
*After watching the video*
Nah~! Sorry Zucco but that's dumb XD
Just call it fixing cost
People who can commision paint will ask more than 100U$ to actually do a great fixing job
I broke in a few places that Dramatical murder Aoba figure thats now like $600, kinda feel stupid but I did see other people on MFC who also broke those stupid birds off
Some figures are just so dang fragile
i broke my damn archer figure sorry my mom broke his arrow part Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works - Archer - ALTAiR (Alter). was first expensive figure. the bow snapped when trying to put it on cause wasnt sitting properly on hand. well not exactly snapped wouldnt go back in tiny pegs together. it's so sad. but with newest figure im buying which costs more then that one i will treasure it. also I'm more invested in this series. its such a shame when something breaks. i have him displayed with daggers such a shame. well he more expensive now so nvm im thinking of when i bought him
I broke the bow tie on a $350 succubus 😢
noooooooooooooo
Nice shirt!
Thanks. It's a bit tight but what can ya do lol
@@ZuccoFigures Are you excited about the DDDD dual movie releases? The trailer looked great and I can't wait!
Another amazing video, I watch them all!!
Thanks for the support!
If we want to talk about being stupid.... I'm getting to a point where storing these boxes is getting out of hand. I am considering trashing the plastic shells altogether and flattening these boxes instead. It is so sacrilegious in my mind though XD
tbh I've considered doing the same. Eventually you just dont have enough space to keep collecting so somethings got to give
How am I just now finding out that they made Linkin Park nendoroids 👀
These ancient relics released almost 12 years ago
I think it's understandable hahaha
THERES NENDOS FOR LINKIN PARK???
Nendoroid petites but ya lol
Sell her $70 plus shipping. That way you only paid $30 for the lance.
I actually ended up doin that cause I got contacted right after this video went up lol. Did 65 cause the shipping was kinda hefty but since I also got the tapestry I think thats fine
Comment for the algorithm 😊
👍
Don’t worry about buying another figure because breaking is a genuine reason. Honestly I’m kinda of a dumbass for buying 2 of the same Mafex figure (Mafex Batman hush blue reissue), a hard to find figure. I don’t plan on selling it or using it for anything else besides the stupid pleasure of having a boxed version lol
is neru figure the same one that got redesign because it has nipples?
Not so much a redesign but just an adjustment to the suit, but yeah it's the same figure
No
