Fumos: The Good, The Bad, The Very Very Evil

Fumo Fumos are the most digusting thing since my son.
Touhou Project is home to these little idiots, and they have caused me so much pain, lain, slain tainted rain of sadness (and joy) that these wonderful(ly weird) parts of the plush world had caused onto everyone.
Thanks to them being owned by a company known for artificial scarcity, their prices are weird, so let's take a look into the HORRIFIC WORLD that is fumofumofumos!

"I thought u already made a fumo video" 😱 This is the redux version, the new and improved masterpiece. I'm planning to remake a few of my older videos with modern Suwawako expertise -- BIGGER, BETTER, "FUNKIER", all you could ever want. Fumos are still weird. Fumos were hurt in the production of this video. Take that as you will. Twitter --> @Suwawako2 Instagram --> @suwawako ko-fi.com/suwawako (Got demonitized i will beg this time politely)

How to get Fumos for cheap (and earlier than Ami ami’s preorder cycle). Step 1: Go to Japan. Step 2: Find out when and where Reitaisai is being held. Step 3: Find Gift’s booth and wait in line. Step 4: Aquire Fumo of choice (unless sold out while in line). Step 5: Question your life choices. Edit: This will only work if you have saved up for the trip, have disposable income, or be in the military.

Fumos continue the trend of fanworks in touhou that get stupidly big to the extent they eclipse the franchise they come from and are generally known through memes, I love them as plushes though with their dinky, pan-faced expressions. I own one that I bought impulsively from Amazon that is almost certainly a bootleg, in fact I'm pretty sure it's the same as the one at 16:16 (it's a Koishi btw). I would have defo tried to order them from Japan through ebay, buyee, ami or otherwise but I was running low on money at the time so I had to compromise. And I regret nothing!

@XquizetBlix 5 ай бұрын

Calling them "bootlegs" has a negative connotation, which is why I prefer to call them "replicas". It's basically what a fake Mona Lisa or Starry Night is to the originals, it's the same beauty from a different origin. On another note, Gift has tainted Sakuya's name

Yo Suwawako, thanks for the vid tbh. I would've not thought of fumos as having an accessibility issue so thanks for bringing it out. But basically, if figurines and other plushies can be sold year round, with many older and newer designs sold together, why can't fumos do the same? We are the community which has made multiple bad apple mvs, we shouldn't just blindly follow the crowd as that would mean we've become stagnant, and stagnation is how any culture dissipates. Do a Moriya Shrine, accept the faith of the alternative goddess, and go get some bootlegs. They still look epic in photos and videos.

@Suwawako 5 ай бұрын

It's actually maddening that no one talks about how fumos have accessibility issues, genuinely so annoying that you gotta spend $80+ on something that you can get 95% of the deal with bootlegs for $25. It's worse than the iPhone vs Smasnug debate -- at least the iPhone deserves its prestige!

@@Suwawako When I started looking for my fumo's, the first thing I went to was discord- luckily it wasn't one of those uhhhhh _private servers._ Anyways, from there I found that buying and trading fumos privately has become a bit of the norm and was how I was able to sort out a good deal with people from within the community. Bootlegs have definitely become the norm and have grown in popularity in that discord, it just sucks that those potentially interested would instantly be put off by all the effort it takes to do so.

Honestly, I am curious as to where the money goes for official fumos. Who designs the fumos? How much of the money do they get? It's interesting to look at the Fumo Economy in terms of supporting custom/bootleg artists (the distinction between custom vs bootleg is another can of worms). Unfortunately they don't have the characters I want... I think that Fumos are a great example of the spirit of Touhou, where doujin culture allows for little things to have a big impact.

Well, my experience buying a fumo was very positive except for one thing in particular, I was scouting for the Futo Fumo for the entirety of 2023 and finally last month it went back on sale on amiami, I didn't have the money at the moment and it took me quite a while to get it actually (starving myself for a week), but the orders stayed open for almost 2 weeks along with the other fumo re-releases, my only gripe is the cost, the shipping took 2 days as soon as the order was confirmed. DHL made me pay ANOTHER 30 EUROS for Customs Clearance, making the total money spent on it 85 euros.

On topic of quality, i'd say there is a little improvement between a genuine fumo and a good bootleg one, but its no deal breaker. Get bootlegs if youre not willing to go neck deep into fumos! I honestly dont get what it is with some people shitting on bootleg fumos, thankfully its not alot. Most people ive seen in the fumo community do love them just as much! Fumo is Fumo Is it worth it to spend so much on genuines? maybe not, but thats just me being nuts about my interests XD and yeah, very weird to see Gift be so tacky about selling them, theyd sell like hotcakes even if they were sold year round. This current model would make sense if Fumos were this globally known insanely popular luxury brand (like Supreme or something), but its not, making the artificial scarcity odd

It's Such a Shame that there's no Fumos of both Metal Gear Solid And Resident Evil Characters....

I'm a big fan of plushies and have a huge collection of them from many series. Don't have a fumo yet, but would love to obtain some one day. In my eyes they represent the love people have for the characters and world of Touhou, all in a huggable fashion. Yeah, Gift's system is pretty stupid, but seeing others post about their fumos makes me happy to see online. Fumo culture IMO is a shaft of light in a dark tunnel that is the internet...minus that one subreddit we don't talk about.

A note on international shipping: If you plan on buying multiple items it's worth looking at the specific limitations provided by the shipper to see what the total allotment of weight and cubic area is for one shipment. Most of the Japanese airmail carriers have a restriction of 30kg (72lbs ish) and somewhere around 1m x 1m cubed give or take. If you look at any available weight / volume metrics provided for the products you're buying you can figure out exactly how much stuff can cram into one shipment. The transfer providers like Tenso (That runs Buyee) usually offer holding and combining parcels for a small fee per item. It's possible to order many things from several different places and have them all packed into one box so that a lot of money can be saved on the expensive shipping. You can get 6-8 fumo sized objects in one box and pay one fee.

I mean, I bought Flandre, Remilia, AND Sakuya when they were restocked back in September(iirc). It was $32 + ~$15 shipping per fumo for 2 week shipping, so about $130 for 3. I dont regret it one bit, but the recent price increases have prevented me from wanting to buy the restock of Yuuka even though I have also wanted her for a long time...

You know what is interesting? There's actually a Nendoroid Plus for Reimu and Marisa. I happened to own bootleg versions of them. They are nearly forgotten due to the existence of Fumo dolls. They came out around the time when fumos for the two characters also came out. Their size is similar to the medium sized fumo that's only recently released. Oh, I beg to differ on the keychain ones that was ignored. Apparently, it was ignored on the first batch. Subsequent ones seems to sell out. I know that, cause I was on the first batch of buyers. After that, I missed all the subsequent sales. There's one thing i suspect. A possibility i find is that some bootleg fumos are possibly rejects. Given original fumos are also made in China. And now, we have an Azur Lane (and Hatsune Miku) fumo by GIFT. But they don't outsell Touhou ones, ironically. Until the actual fans find out about it....late. Like with me for GIFT-Fate Stay Night plushies. 😂

Didnt amiami rework their whole pre-order methodology so that theres actually a chance to get one now?

@YTSirBlack 14 күн бұрын

Not just Fumo, there are plenty of plushies made by Gift that after years, they never want to re-stock it (like the Infinite Stratos plushies)

I bought my official fumos off the new runs through amiami and yeah paid a slight premium but I wasnt tracking release dates or rushing to buy them. I even waited a few days. Most of them were not hard to buy. Not saying those issues didnt happen, but things have normalized quite a bit more and yeah the scarcity is manufactured, its just not as bad as it was.

I have a severe form of crippling depression due to the amount of debt that I’ve accumulated over the past few years, it gets worse as each month pasts. It’s fine because I’m doing this for Yuyuko. I am currently sipping on chinese tea, good grief.
