Just a heads up: You can actually display DSR-50 without her base just fine! I just keep a microfiber cloth underneath her to avoid potential damage but yeah the base isn't 100% necessary.

I think that if the figure is beautiful and makes you happy when you look at it then it doesn't matter if you "know" the character well or not. They are a form of art, after all.

That Asuna is really beautiful. Those icey blue colors and metalic finish. Very clean, pure and cold.

A new video from daijoububu? Yes! 🎉 I also have the same issue with being a completionist. I lost count the number of times I picked up something just to complete a set. It really is a blessing and a curse. On one hand, I rarely have trouble finding something to buy. On the other, I tend to end up purchasing figures of characters I strongly dislike. xD

I actually like watching "unhaul" videos. I mean yeah, it's not fun regretting the figures you picked up, but it's just part of the collecting experience. And idk, I like hearing other collector's thoughts/experiences on that. I'm probably in the minority here though because there are a LOT of figures I have regretted buying. 😂 Too much of an impulse buyer. As for which one I regret the most... I can't say for sure, but the Plentiful Apple Harvest Holo figure comes to mind. Just because I knew I wasn't keen on it from the promo pics but convinced myself that maybe I would like it better in person (spoiler alert: I did not). And it was not fun trying to sell it, lol.

Hayley saying SAO season 1 was a "canon event" for her had me rolling. Girl, me too

14:23 The Luo Tianyi is still one of the most beautiful figures I've ever seen! 😍I'd never give her away if she was mine. I actually don't care if I don't know the character as long as the figure is beautiful. That doesn't mean that I am not partial to figures of my favorite characters though. xD

I regret pre-ordering every Miku and then sitting on their delays for years while seeing so many other figures I liked even more from series I was more into overall. Thankfully I ended up canceling quite a few of them and only keeping the ones I "really" liked for the price. I am so weak for Myethos releases, and anything in a damn China dress so I have a lot of things in my collection that I don't even know/care about the source material 😅

Could you do a video where you actually sell some figures? Like tips and tricks or what websites to use and stuff like that. Cause there are some figures in my collection that need to go and I have no idea where to list them 😭

I lol'd at those pics of you hanging out with the figure box! 🤣 I really regretted buying the Kotobukiya Bishoujo Celestia figure from MLP. I bought it because it was on sale and I thought she had a pretty design...but I haven't been into MLP since I was like 7 - before Celestia even existed! Luckily I was able to sell her and make back most of my money. But yeah, every time I looked at her I just felt bad haha.

I did order Yae Sakura figure and I’m happy with her (I think it’s because I’m in love with her look and the pink). Alter Asuna is the one I canceled my preorder on lol. What I’ve regretted preordering is every figure off of otakumode lol

Myethos is pronounced My Eethos (long E, o is pronounced like the o in sock). Ethos means "The disposition, character, or fundamental values peculiar to a specific person, people, culture, or movement." So, I think they were trying to give their brand name a deeper meaning or something.

I regret kind of a cheap figure, it’s the danganronpa nagito pop up parade, I just really hate the base tbh it doesn’t look nice next to my collection 😭

Happy to see you back on KZfaq again. Very enjoyable video again. You've come a long way since your early KZfaq days (and those videos were fun to watch as well). The production value these days is top-notch. I sometimes listen to your videos on the background while driving. 2 Thumbs up!

welcome back! omg that point about the support poles - totally agree! i recently got a the Reika bare leg bunny and she came with a really weird support pole that i had no idea about. i had the Furyu Albedo china dress pre ordered earlier in the year but saw the updated pics of the support poles and cancelled because of that, but at least they showed us the poles.

I love the The Luo Tianyi figure!! the design stole my heart, ive listened to her music to understand more about her but i don't actively listen too it. I literally looked behind me as you said china dress to look at her haha, shes the only one i own and worth it

Completing sets is definitely my weakness too, it’s so hard to train yourself to think otherwise.

I’m so happy you’re back uploading videos!!

I don't necessarily regret owning the figures I do, but I do regret preordering some of them that have dropped in value. Could've saved some money if I had patience. But, tbh, if I was really concerned about saving money and being patient I wouldn't keep ordering EMS shipping lmao

I’m glad I’m yet to fall to the completing curse, I have figures from sets and I have felt a small urge to pick the others up but… have resisted, some of the figures you dislike I like a lot such as the yae but everything is obviously each to their own 💗 love to see your videos again and well wishes

Some figures I have slight regrets only because they dropped in price significantly after release, so I felt I could’ve saved a good chunk of money on them. That said, they are from my favorite series (Fire Emblem & Final Fantasy), so me loving the characters and source material does help ease the pain haha 😆 Maybe biggest regret is GSC’s Asuna Goddess figure. As beautiful as she is, she also dropped quite significantly in price and I don’t have that big of an attachment to her. Still a gorgeous figure tho!

I don’t really regret buying any figures, but the only thing I do regret is not getting the deluxe version for the Revy in the chair. I really wish I had the deluxe face because it looks way better.

I totally get you about impulse buying pre-owned. I've been stalking Mandarake new arrivals and I've found some stuff for waaay below the market price elsewhere. I keep being tempted even when it's not something i actually want. It's not like I would try to scalp either because a) I find that distasteful and b) it's really hard to sell stuff from NZ. Still, I can't shake that 'but it's such a good deal!' feeling every time something like that pops up.

If I´d have to keep one of the figures you regret buying, it would be Luo Tianyi figure. She's so beautiful and unique! I'd love to have her in my collection 💖💖💖 I regret buying Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Lonely SEKAI Ver. I'm not interesting in collecting Miku nendoroids now so she still is in her sealed box.

I'm regretting buying Shiro Summer ver. from "No Game No Life"... that bent spine, oof. Where was I looking? I also do not like wedding dresses figures, but I have to say that if Azur Lane's New Jersey turns out well I will try to hunt for her in the aftermarket, she's genuinely the first wedding dress figure I found appealing and very much desirable. I also have the Lilly Relium you showed in the video and I love her 😆 And I did not like Laura so I'm okay with not having a complete set 😄 And I don't like China dresses either. Just personal taste. They were very popular and affordable when I was a young teen, they still leave a bit of a cheap aftertaste in my mouth. So happy you are back, your videos are always a delight.

Kudos to keeping Asuna! 💙 I don't have her in my collection yet but still really want her 😂 I totally regret buying the Zero Two Pop Up Parade though 😅 gonna sell her soon

Thanks for being real with us, in regards to collecting and it's ups and downs. 😁💓🤗

Most recently, I regret getting the dress ver. of Cloud Strife. All of the FF7R static figures are disappointing tbh, but I'll keep Tifa and Aerith. Cloud though doesn't even stay on his stand. Lots of people are reporting this same issue. It was a total waste of money.

welcome back! I love that Lou Tianyi, might have to pick her up lol

I'm a sort of meditative buyer, it started out with being frugal / unable to afford it, to now just being second nature. I'll add something to cart, look at reviews, videos, and let it sit in the cart... I'll spent a substantial amount of time thinking if I'll still love it in 5 years. I'll also only buy figures from shows / series I've loved for a long time (NieR, Made in Abyss, FMA), rather than what I'm currently hyped about. For example I own 0 attack on titan figures, even though I enjoy it now, I don't know if I'll love the rest of the anime or how it ends... I mostly collect nendoroids too, because they're cute and work well on the same shelf. So it's not as difficult planning themes or buying something that looks out of place on a shelf. The only figure I regret, is I got a miku noodle stopper, thinking it'll look good in my PC, sitting on my GPU... but it looked kinda lame and didn't match the RGB or internals. It was mad kawaii for a black PC. Facebook marketplace is pretty great to sell figures though. I'm doing my best to be minimalist and only hold onto things I really love, and declutter / get rid of the rest, with all things - my clothes, my belongings. Like if you wear a tshirt that you only like 5/10, you'll feel like a 5/10... wear something that you think is 10/10, and you'll feel 10/10. I loved the candid video though, and its always nice listening to someone have the same hobby. :))

I love most of my figures I've bought, even the really cheap prize figures I've bought in the past, but in hindsight I lowkey regret buying my pop up parade stuff. The line started off really good but after a year it just felt like they started to drop in quality, I dont hate them though, I just think I could've put that money towards a usually nicer looking prize figure or towards some more expensive figures.

I started keeping a spreadsheet in mid 2021 to keep track of what I purchased, how much spent etc. In the past two years I've purchased 62 figures, sold 17 of them when I decided I didn't like them as much as I thought I would and currently have three others listed on Ebay. I end up not liking every figure I purchase. The manufacturers make the prototype look so good, it's a disappointment when the finished product doesn't live up to the hype. Seeing you unbox your Alter Asuna has made me reconsider selling mine. She's so much cuter out of the box! I guess I'll keep her to go with my Alter Kirito which I had already decided to keep, lol. And the figure I most regret buying in the past two years was the Yae Sakura Dream Raiment figure. I seriously don't know what I was thinking. I don't like wedding figures, but her face was so cute. Anyway, I've since sold her and got back what I spent plus twenty dollars so I'm happy. I've also slowed down on my figure purchasing. I've gotten way more in tune with what kind of figures I really, really like and almost as important, I've put an end to the impulse buying.

Camera angle is just right...awesome positioning *wink wink...nice that you're uploading again...can't wait to see more 😊

I love alter too, and started to love even more after your videos

SHFiguarts Legendary Super Saiyan Broly. It's a small 1/12 scale action figure but is legit worth more than any of the scale figures in my collection. I got him for a "good" price but I could've gotten 5-10 SHFiguarts with what I spent. He's got an outdated design, doesn't pose incredibly well, and generally does a poor job at merging in with my other Dragon Ball figures. Just waiting for the right time to sell him...

The dsr50 can be displayed off of her base as she's stable just resting on the chair so if the base is putting you off (totally agree btw) then try her without it! Can also confirm first hand she looks great next to that OTS14 figure! 😊

I regret my fortitude Levi. I can’t believe I would say such blasphemy but I saw him in I think Gwyn’s video and was like oh Levi is my #1 boy I must have all the figures, so I spent WAY TO MUCH for him in the aftermarket because he was going up in price at the time, I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to get him later. I ordered him the next time I saw him for sale even though I didn’t love the look of the blood. I got him still wasn’t sold on it (I do love him now) and within about a month he go a re-release announcement 🫠🔫 if I had shown any amount of chill could have saved myself SOOOOO much money

Because of my situation, I can only get figures that I really really want, so I don't really wind up *regretting* them...But I do have one of preorder that I *will* regret, because it's a Revoltech figma-like figure and I hate figmas, and honestly the joints are so ugly...But the face plates and hair are so pretty and it's one of my favorite characters who barely gets merch, and I *should* be happy to get his scale and I am! And I should leave it at that, but I have to have it cause it's *him*...And the nendo when it comes out...I know, I'm pathetic rn

Loved this style of video! Really happy to see you back 😄

It's so nice that you are posting again! Welcome back!

I took a long break from watching videos during the endless "EMS not available" period. But I noticed I still did occasional checks on Amiami for whatever cool new stuff appeared. (And were also looking for a figure I really wanted, which I haven't seen yet and worry I'm missing it on some exclusive site). And I can kind of relate to the regrets that comes later in the collecting phase. Here is a list of regrets: 1. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun - Shirai Kuroko - B-style - 1/4 - Bunny ver. (FREEing). Reason being her head is huge and looks bad, and recently they have made a better figure. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun T - Shirai Kuroko - B-style - 1/4 - Bunny Ver., 2nd (FREEing). Ironically same company, same name, but now much better looking. 2. Ikki Tousen - Kan'u Unchou, couldn't find specific figure. Bought it because it was a tan-lines figure, but when I got her and opened her I noticed they got the skin colors horribly wrong and she looks like sickly-gray rather than tan. 3. 2 figures of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san - Cthugha. Not sure what it is, but I love the character design, the poses are not boring, but somehow they aren't quite what I wanted anyway. I'd probably buy a third one if I run into it, despite regretting both the previous ones. It is just hard to explain why I'm not satisfied with them, despite loving the design. 4. One Piece - Boa Hancock - Glitter & Glamours - Special ver. (Banpresto). Love the thorn clothes concept, but this figure was really bland and boring despite it. 5. Hololive - Nousagi - Usada Pekora - Figma (#529) (Max Factory). Love Pekora, but I'm not a Figma collector and would rather have a real scale figure. There is also the general "too much" regrets I feel sometimes. Like when i look at the pile of unopened boxes and see "Skimpy outfit vampire, skimpy outfit vampire, skimpy outfit vampire, skimpy outfit vampire". Tend to start wondering why I need so many. Can't say the same about my tan-lines figures though, which I have like 20 opened and like 10 unopened of and would still buy any figures I find. There is also a single regret regarding what I didn't buy. Which was the super expensive Azur Lane - New Jersey - B-style - 1/4 - Living Stepping (FREEing, Union Creative International Ltd). Been planning about selling some unwanted figures sometime, but worry about needing to pack stuff down and all. Just being lazy.

Hi, I'm so happy you're back! ♥

I have to say my orders/preorders of all 4 girls from Rent-a GF prolly regrettable purchases - I still haven't unboxed Chizuru and Sumi, while Ruka had been downgraded to surface mail (Mami's not out yet). I also think that with the current trend where 1. figures are pricier than usual 2. there is now a surge of preowned figures which up to now were then "rare"/brail (you have a better chance to buy the OG Ryuko Matoi bunny on AmiAmi preowned these days, for example) 3. figures can be bought on release without preordering - we can reduce the risk of blindly preordering just because.

Yesss keeping the Asuna one! promise SAO is worth it to keep going!

I’m so happy you’re back! I love your videos. If you’re down for something like this though- I’d love to see a Fate tier video. Rating the best Saber figures or saber Alter or Rin, or any of the servants really ^^” or just commenting on them?

alter's sao figures are just amazing. i bought the kirito last year and it looks awesome (aside from the stupid sword holders)

Omg I like seeing figure regret videos cause I too have bought a lot that I regrettt!! Too much browsing on preowned and being influenced by content creators and their figure purchases ugh,,!😭 Didn’t help I was early in my collecting and wanted everything, also working minimum wage jobs so I always had a money flow. But now that Ive quit to focus more on school, has really helped me consider my figure purchases a lot more.

I’ve never regretted a figure, but I do regret what I’ve PAID for a figure. My first figure I ever bought was Ribbon Heart Miku Prize figure, and I paid $54 on Amazon for her😭

Asuna is super pretty and I don't even SAO. Alter knocking it out of the park every time tbh. My biggest regret was Preordering the 1/7 Tsukioka Kogane Face of Treasure GSC figure before I knew that most idol figures tend to tank. I really like the figure itself, I would have liked it a lot more for 17,000JPY less like she's going for now 🫠 She's a steal at her current price though! A figure I outright regretted buying though was the 1/7 Aizawa Azusa 1/7 from Medicos Entertainment. I loved the concept of her and she wasn't *bad*, but she was surprisingly heavy, I didn't love her quality in person, from most angles the hat looked less like a witch hat (which was why I was getting her) and more like a blobby cowboy hat, and she was difficult to display on mid-to-high shelves because her skirt is sculpted in a way that gives a pretty unavoidable panty-shot, which wasn't the vibe I wanted from the figure at all.

Slight regret is my Trick or Miku scale because it stands out too much with the Halloween theme compared to every thing else in my room and I don't even like Halloween that much lol. My biggest regrets are all the prize figures I got before I got scales, I couldn't afford scales at the time but now the prize figures are just sitting there because no one wants them and I'd feel bad throwing them away

Congrats on your new baby! 🎉 Glad your back in yt.

If you like SAO still and it has positive memories for you definitely keep it ! The nostalgic happy feels is probably what made you buy it to begin with. I haven't finished SAO either and while it's not the perfect anime it is a really good "beginner " anime A middle of the road kind of show

I regret some cheap figures and some that I bought because I knew my friends also liked them? Like I got excited thinking oh this is great because it’s so cool to have and show off and bond over! Now I need room abd I wanna sell them and the cheaper ones but I’m afraid to/don’t know how to go about selling

I completely agree about disclosing the support poles!! Can't tell you the amount of figures I've been disappointed by bc of the surprise poles 😭 Figures I regret buying would probably be: - Tenten from the Naruto Gals line by Megahouse I don't even know her! Idk y I ordered her tbh. Ig I liked the promo pictures, but fell out of love once I saw her base and surprise support pole - Nishizaa san (the girl coming out of the drawing tablet) I liked the concept and thought it was original, plus I do digital art. But, I'm not a fan of her design at all so it's a huge regret

So happy to see a new video! Will you be making an updated manga collection video soon? I want to see what you been reading and what new series you been getting into.

I wouldn't say regret 'buying' but I do regret pre-ordering the Albedo (overlord) China dress ver by FuRyu. I'm really glad I canceled after those support poles were revealed T^T. If I ended up actually paying for it, it would have stayed in the box and then sold off right after lol.

VTubers are streamers that use an animated avatar, and VSingers are a subset of that who focus on, well, singing. Arguably the most famous group of VTubers are Hololive; I understand their first concert in the United States sold out within minutes. The dedicated VSingers of Hololive are IRys and AzKi, though this distinction isn't immediately apparent. Luo TianYi is apparently a Vocoloid that's popular in China. Unlike Hatsune Miku who arguably has some international fame, Luo TianYi is really only popular in China. In fact, this is the first time I've heard of her. As far as figures that I've regretted buying, I think that goes to some gachapon Samurai Shodown/Samurai Spirits figures that I went out of my way to buy. For figures that cost less than $5 USD each, they're surprisingly good; that said, they're still $5 figures. Among other problems, they don't stand up correctly and are otherwise prone to leaning over time, assuming that they stood upright in the first place!

The accent change on ""Which one do you think is better VaLuE?" got me dead

My figure regret... I was super quick to preorder the bareleg Zero Two bunny, I had always wanted the red OG version with the fishnets but her aftermarket is waaay too wild. It's been almost 18 months now and she's still sitting unopened in my room... not only have I run out of space for her, but I thought I would like her new white bunnysuit but from every photo I've seen online it makes her look ungodly pasty white. I've seen some people say she gives raw chicken and I can't unsee it 😭 The paintjob on her hair is super flat on the rerelease too. All around just a disappointing final product. Icing on the cake is I think she was over-purchased because she severely binned and even in unopened condition I don't think I'll make the money back 💔

Asuna/SAO may not be THE most popular anime series, but it touches a very unique story theme, and obviously an unrealistic wet dream for MMO gamers, so yeah... SAO waifu will always have places in our heart ❤❤

I know a lot may disagree with me, but I still really enjoy SAO. I loved part 1 of season 1, but even though part 2 and then season 2 caused SAO to fall off a bit to me; season 3’s part 1 and 2 had so much positive feedback that I gave it another chance. It was really good! I loved all of the Alicization Arc/War Arc. Definitely give it another chance

Haven't made a purchase that i regret it until now, but of course, that's because i'm just arriving to this hobby. I'm barely making my first purchases and waiting for them to arrive. For now i'm giving priority to the characters i like the most, that are from Fate/Kaleid. I understand about those impulsive purchases. The only reason i haven't made them so far, is because i've been short of money. But currently i'm beginning to earn some money, so let's see if that happens to me. I don't know. My house is short in space, and i'm already struggling to find out where i'm going to store so many boxes 😅 But i want a lot of Fate/Kaleid figures so badly!!

I'm glad I broke out of wanting to collect sets since usually there's always the well-done ones compared to the rest of its set. Also I aint got that kinda dough to splurge XD

I enjoy watching your figure reviews. awesome job

The Asuna figure you have, I just saw one yesterday at a store here in Japan for only 4000円 (~$29). I thought it was too expensive, so I put it back.... I need to go back & get it!

A figure I regret buying is the Mai estream figure. It came with a set and it just felt like a toy. I thought the figure itself was fine but it just wasn't worth the extra price. I'm also a bit regretful of the Dialga/Palkia GEM EX figure. I loved the ghost pokemon GEM EX figure but the Dialga/Palkia one had quite obvious seams and joints which I don't really like

did a double take at 4:38, that was hilarious!

My biggest regrets are the prize figs I ended up buying at the very start, as well as the Wonderful Works Yui Yuigahama Rocker Ver. 1/7. Love the figure, but she has never really fit my collection, and she's not high demand, so it's very tough selling her and I'm praying I can sell her with my Kotobukiya SNAFU figs. lol I also regret getting the Tsukuyo Megahouse fig from Gintama, but only because she was pricey and her quality is definitely not comparable to the price I paid. Still love the character though, so I'll keep her around. lol

The only figures I own are the two Kotobukiya Bishoujo Leatherfaces. They are extremely cute and I love them and you can really tell how much better at this they've gotten doing these Horror Bishoujos since the Freddy Vs Jason ones.

The figure I regret picking up the most is the Iron Maiden Judith by Myethos. She has some quality control issues, and the face on my figure looks quite bad. I also don’t really like gothic style. She was an impulse by because I really wanted a myethos figure, and I am now planning on selling her.

I regret impulse preordering from native. It’s the tanned Caroline Yuri bunny because I just don’t care about it anymore. So yeah 😅

My biggest pre order regret has to be the New Jersey Bunny, just because I can afford it doesnt mean that I should and this 66k lump of awesome has been forcing me to cancel so many things because of all the delays. I'm sure I could probably find someone to sell the pre order to but frankly A. I would be nervous about doing so and B. I still really want it.

I regret preordering my SpyxFamily and JJK nendoroids. They're pretty much all still in stock at amiami and on sale. Glad I have them, but I could've saved at least a hundred bucks

The horror bishoujo Chucky from Child's Play is the GOAT. She's expensive in aftermarket now.

For figures I regret, I regret literally every Vocaloid Nendoroid I've bought. I like Vocaloid music, but I wouldn't say I'm really in the fandom. I only collect figures from a select few series, and nearly every time I've bought a figure outside of that series other than maybe 6 instances (all of which were figures from series I probably would collect if they had more figures and/or more accessible figures), I've regretted it and sold it. I've had a hell of a time selling the Vocaloid Nendoroids though, and honestly just want them gone and want to get my money back to buy something I actually enjoy... I do kind of regret buying some prize/lower price figures in my collection (Banpresto Zenitsu, Pop Up Parade Giyuu, Zenitsu, Tanjiro, and one of my Ichiban Kuji Giyuus)- Demon Slayer is the main focus of my collection but the Banpresto figure is just low quality, the Pop Up Parades are mediocre quality with annoying bases, and the Ichibansho Giyuu has the most massive base that's shaped like a triangle, so it's nearly impossible to fit him anywhere despite the fact that I like the figure itself. He can't even be removed from the base either, so it's not like I can make a smaller base for him, which I'd be willing to do because otherwise I genuinely like the figure! The Banpresto Zenitsu I'm casually selling without much urgency, but the others I haven't bothered to because I like them enough and other than their annoying bases, they match with the rest of my collection.

Hands down my figure regret was the Swan Girl by Wave. I was so hyped to have a ballerina 🩰 but due to her pose I can’t fully enjoy her, to see her face I hardly see her dress and to see her dress I hardly see her face. I also thought her dress would be more light pink but it is more transparent which isn’t bad just not what I was looking for. But ya it’s just her pose is epic but I can’t find a right angle that I like to display her in.

I accidentally bought the same figure twice, about two years apart. That's when I finally realized that I had collected too many 😵

I have a few figures I was disappointed in but I don't regret too much. If I had to sell something, I don't think I could for most of them. My biggest regret is my Ye Xiu Nendoroid because I actually wanted Lord Grim but got this one instead. He can't even hold the trophy accessory and the cigarette one fell out of his hand and I lost it in just a few days of owning him. I probably can't even sell him for a decent price.😅

Even your "rejects" are quite excellent. My regrets are usually more tied to the price declines many of them (especially POs) have experienced. The Fate 15th Celebration set comes to mind in that regard, amongst many others.

As a collector of various types of figures but being picky about what I get, honestly bases are typically the reason I regret buying a figure. Some figures (especially prize figures) have obnoxiously big bases. Its to the point I may try starting to customize my own bases for prize figures for the sake of them being smaller. Only other figure I regret is actually my husband's that has a major leaning issue. ;-;

I guess for me the figure I regret buying is pre-owned Nico Robin figure in her timeskip Revolution Army attire. And I realise now that I bought her because she was cheap, and I actually kinda hate her costume so yeah... It's not a bad figure by any means, it doesn't have much defects and is actually pretty nice looking it's just not for me. I bought her with Perona figure and I actually love Perona figure much more than Robin. So I think I am going to sell this Robin somewhere.

I didn't know the Yae Sakura Wedding figure needed support poles. That really sucks cause I wanted this figure, but since they edited out the support poles it feels misleading and kinda sucky. 😓The figure I regret buying is the Nijisanji Kuzuha Kotobukiya figure. I am a big Kuzuha fan and he is my favorite Vtuber, but the drop in quality on his figure is way too noticeable. He legit looks like a bootleg compared to the prototype display photos. I probably would've still bought him if I saw the actual pictures first but then I wouldn't feel so ripped off. 😡

Not in the anime alley, but for me it's the Transformers x G.I. JOE collab Megatron and Baroness figure. I preordered thinking that the Megatron Figure would be big and solid, but it was hollow when some prototypes were shown but I cannot cancel it anymore. :(

My biggest regret figure is a Shigaraki figure i got at the mall with some friends. I was being indecisive on wich figure to get because there were so many amazing beautiful figures in there, all of wich being from series i collect figures from, so my friends were getting frustrated at me and were running out of time till we had to go to a restaurant reservation. Because of the pressure, i made a bad decision and got a cheap looking Shigaraki figure. I dont even collect figures from MHA (except for Uraraka figures) and its so bad looking. It falls apart so easily (its a figure you assemble) and it just looks so out of place in my extremely pink room. Would resell it, but my mom likes it so much she doesn’t want me to and I love my ma. So its stuck with me.

My regret is the 1/8 Ultimate Madoka. Don't display it anymore 'cause I'm terrified it'll break, the box is so huge its preventing me from getting more, and I don't know what to do with it or how to sell it since its so big...

regret buying the prize figures. I've come to realize that space is a much bigger issue for many of us collectors.

I preordered that arknights alter figure. I do play arknights a lot so I can justify the buy (kinda). But I know she’s going to bin with how expensive shipping is probably going to be on top of her price 😭 I thankfully don’t regret most of the figures I’ve bought for rn. I usually buy based on aesthetics, and very picky, so even if I love a character if I don’t like the figure I talk myself out of spending money. I also am not a completionist so if I only like one figure in a series I only buy that one.

I think of all the scaled figures I have, I regret buying the Sonico White Cat version by Union creative. It just doesn't appeal to me anymore. HOWEVER I do have about 40 nendoroids which I regret maybe about half of them lmao. I started collecting alot thinking it would be cool to pose and exchange parts but I enjoy scale figures more now.

The one figure I regret buying so badly was my first ever figure that I paid OVER $300 for. It was my first figure I ever bought so I had no idea there were dedicated stores for figures so I went straight to eBay..already off to a bad start. found ONE listing and got it. First seeing the price I just assumed all figures are that expensive because I would always hear how figure collectors were broke and how expensive it gets soooo I thought that made it legit... 😅 It was the Ichinose Kotomi 1/8 (Kotobukiya) second hand. My "waifu" at the time so I REALLY wanted her buut I defiantly got scammed. Original price was $40 and I've recently seen it on AmiAmi for $90. I will never be able to sell it for how much I paid for so I still have it years later in storage. ❤❤❤

Figures are a totally different artistic medium than anime, video games, movies, etc. It doesn't matter at all if you know the character or source material. We appreciate figures because of the artistry and beauty that went into the sculpting, color production, etc. I love Cowboy Bebop but I don't have any figures from it because I don't find the characters that visually appealing. On the other hand, I don't play Azur Lane but I have several Azur Lane figures because they're gorgeous. For Cowboy Bebop, I have the complete series on blu-ray and that's good enough for me because I love the story. I don't play mobile games, but I buy their figures because I love the character designs. Simple as that. Don't overthink it! If you find a figure to be beautiful and visually appealing, that's all that matters! Remember, anime is for watching, video games are for playing, and figures are for displaying and admiring. They don't have to overlap.

I think the Asuna figure is very beautiful and like the only good ALO-version of her. I also got mine at like 14k yen so I think she's an absolute steal with that Alter quality with the jp yen conversion right now!

Only one I've impulse bought and regretted was the Beatless - Lacia - 1/8 - 2018 Black Monolith Deployed Ver. Only reason I regret it is because it is from a show I have not watched or have any attachment to, the figure it self it cool, I guess a second minor regret is the space it takes up.

haha the alter schwarz figure bit made me laugh, schwarz is literally one of my fav arknights girls and I still play daily and even I couldn't convince myself to preorder such a huge expensive fragile figure even if I want her soooo bad!

this is a situation i literally fear to be in as a collector. if i bought figures that i thought looked good then I’d have no space to put them cuz there’s so many and to avoid wanting to sell my figures i just stick to shows that i really like and characters i have an attachment to. any figure i buy i make sure i buy to keep and not to sell so that im not buying and then regretting it later 😩 and if i run out of space I’ll just make more space somehow cuz i can’t see myself selling anything i have in my collection 😭

The Yae figure support pole!?!? Ummm, she does indeed float and does it without any support pole. Matter of fact, it doesn't even come with one. I would assume it was for promotional display purposes because Yae does infact turn/move putting her out of place and venues have high foot traffic thus resulting in that support pole to keep her steady. Only thing I agree is the box. Its stupid huge due to the base and the hanging part being together instead of seperate.

I ordered all 5 of the quintessential quintuplets pajama figures, probably should have just used that money for a scale figure lol

i regret buying my nanami nendoroid, because i'm not that into jujutsu kaisen anymore, and he isn't even my favorite character. i also regret preordering tokrev nendos because their prices dropped so much after release! i could buy them now way cheaper... luckily i'm very picky when it comes to expensive figures so i'm happy with all of my scale figures (6 + 2 on the way)

I'm from Brazil and I don't miss one of your videos. Post more again. ❤

I actually think the Freddy one wasn’t bad. I didn’t like the color of her hair. But I’d keep it.

My only regret is getting a Sonic Bunnygirl figurine. It's not bad or anything, it's rly cute but I've realized I don't even like Sonico that much? Don't dislike it, I'll keep it too, but I'm always like "hmmm" when I see it
