The PUP line gets a bad rep but honestly it's fine. It's an upscale prize figure line in the end and for the price there are way more hits than misses. I personally own the inuyasha series from it and they're gorgeous!
There's never a reason to talk about the hits, but misses will spread around like fire in the community. After this review though I feel more inclined to get the new panty and stocking pups so I guess I'm turning into a small fan lol
I got this figure about a month ago and reading about PopupParade prior made me a bit nervous. But honestly I'm super surprised by the quality, Its really detailed and colors look way better in real life. I've been waiting for this exact pose without blood for a while so buying it was an absolute no brainer for me.
I'm very new to the world of figures in general. I was lucky enough to find him available for preorder and took a chance on it since I had no intentions on spending over a thousand on a Berserk statue. I'm definitely impressed with how he turned out though and already preordered the Chainsaw Man popup parades. I would love to go scale but it's just way out of my price range.
Glad your first experience with Pop Up Parade was a pretty good one! At one point I had over 100 of them, but have been selling them at the local Book Off for other additions to my collection. I still get a few of them every so often, so I still like the line, but I have been more picky about them now than I used to be. I guess that's a good thing though since they don't seem to be slowing down.
That's a hefty fella! I think with him doing the pose on the pillar thing makes him seem like a nicer Pop Up, plus all the dark armor can mask any imperfections 😅
This reminded me that I received mine a couple days ago, so I had to go unbox it real quick lol. I don't order a lot of PUP figures anymore due to the hit-or-miss quality, but I also couldn't pass this one up! Very happy with how it turned out. Usually the PUP bases bother me but I think it's fine here. He looks great with the Berserk Deluxe volumes. :)
A. You should collect berserk! And B, how’d you guys get yours already? I pre-ordered mine back in June but it said that it won’t ship out til janurary of 23
@@Epikal3Productions Just depends on where you ordered it. The figure release date in Japan was mid-November, so AmiAmi shipped orders out around that time. But Good Smile US, for example, has to wait for their stock to arrive from Japan before they can ship orders out, so they set their release date for a couple months later.
@@cheshire2.047 Got mine from AmiAmi. Yeah, some stores ship REALLY far after the Japan release date for some reason. I've only ordered one figure from BBTS but its release date was November 2021 and it shipped at the end of August 2022. For another US-based figure store, I have a figure ordered that released in May and it's still not shipped. 🥲 Shipping costs are way more at AmiAmi but I'm so impatient that I usually buy from them anyway.
I had the same experience with shipping cost in the gigantic shipping box this figure and 2 nendoroids shipped in from AmiAmi lol. It makes me seriously reconsider future orders from overseas, especially ones where they will likely split it into two packages.
I preordered this from Goodsmile Company as soon as they announced it. A few months beforehand I went to a convention and was looking for anything Berserk related which then got me wondering if there was any statue with this exact pose anywhere and came up short. Opening up the box had me in awe just because for a budget line, it still looks really really good and a bit hefty. Still looks menacing on my shelf next to my deluxe volumes and just looks so nice overall.
Agreed, this was also a pose that I was highly anticipating and can't believe it took this long for companies to release one, especially at this price point!
I collect 1/8 pvc figures and 1/6 scale statues, this Armor Guts for the price is awesome, was the figure that I was more excited to get this year. Great video, new subscriber!
I just got my one (I'm in Australia), he looks so sick, and his price is so low for what it is. Really easy to assemble, looks amazing in person, has a swappable head where you can put in the light, looks badass and true to the manga. Honestly best figure of guts on the market right now, even disregarding cost, the other ones I've seen don't look as badass as him in the berserker armour.
@@culturess sheesh just looked it up (I got it on amiami too), well the figure was $7480 yen but the shipping cost was $6000 yen with $1348 in taxes too. So all up $14828 yen which is $167.90 aud or $112.31 usd. So ig it wasn't too much of a bargain with shipping, but honestly still a very reasonable price for it.
So difficult to decide on this one. It is the only affordable Guts in a while, but should I settle for affordable? I feel like Berserk might deserve a "stupid financial decision". Or I will just buy a bunch of Displates.
I’m impressed with this figure for the price. Another cool thing about this pose is that it inspired Artorias from Dark Souls. As a huge fan of both Dark Souls & Berserk, it’s very cool to have a figure of this pose in particular
I paid 10,932 yen total (3901 for EMS shipping). He's my first pop up parade too, I tend to avoid them to save space for scales, but I'm quite happy with him. I wanted any type of affordable figure from Berserk, and luckily this one had pretty good quality to back it up. Really wish they made proper scales of the cast though. Nice review, excited for the Shuten one! From what I've seen she looks super good.
I just remembered that I originally had him ordered on Amazon Japan but they refused to let me change my shipping on it for some reason so I had to cancel. The shipping was around like 3k so I could've got a better deal but oh well. Figure is nice so it's all good
Unfortunately didn't see this gem when it was first announced and will have to pay around 12000 yen for it and I have to wait a few months but it's better than not having a berserk figure that looks nice
I wanted to collect Berserk figma figures until I realized how expensive they were so I just got the bootleg blackswordsman Guts. I also would love to find a way to 3d print the godhand because I don't have $2k to spend on figures 😂
i remember some seller was telling me off that the Pop up line is not budget entry at all rather the prize figures you win at arcades at more budget i like to think pop up is a good entry
Guts in Berserker armour is always badass! I had to give him up due to space... but I can't wait until I get to that point in the Berserk Manga. Great vid as always Zucco!
Huh, I am glad that this guts Pop up parade is pretty good! The Zero Two figure really did scare me because my local anime store posted the image and was too disappointed. I already pre-ordered Albedo from overlord because waifu but I am worried about the quality. I maybe new to the hobby but money will only be given if deserved. I pray that I don't get the fate of Zero Two....Good review!
Yea it should definitely had blood on the blade, it just looks too clean. And yea it would have been much better to have the rock being the base, like the Asuka, Rei, Mari Evangelion figures from Kotobukiya, I love those, the base looks great.
I ordered him from HLJ, shipped him alone using Registered Airmail, costed me only 1.7k. Took 2 weeks to reach my country and it is now on my state, so i should be getting it in a few more days. I dunno about everyone else, but I've basically stopped combining orders because the shipping price is always too high and instead ship them one by one. I'd say 8 out of 10 times their box is small enough to be sent though R.Airmail, which as you can see is not only super cheap, but the shipping is only about a week longer, at least to my country, than EMS/DHL. Which is literally a non issue to me. Rather wait 3 weeks but pay almost nothing, than wait 2 weeks and pay up to 10 times more. (Edit: I just checked and that Shuten Douji is also small enough to be shipping with R.Airmail and it cost 2.5k for me. In case you were curious. You would be able to ship the 3 items in your order for about 6k rather than 12k if you shipped them separately. )
It feels random for me when it comes to the optimal shipping strategies, but I saw the comments for both of my bigger figs on MFC regarding Shipping on AmiAmi to America and decided it wasn't worth splitting the order this time. For me on HLJ, Airmail is 8k for Shuten Douji, while EMS is 6k. I don't really know why airmail is currently so expensive to America right now but it might as well not even be an option
Yeaaaaaaaaah Vampire Miku is really good but I skipped her cause I was bummed out at the time she ended up being a Pop up. Definitely more interested to see how she turns out now tho
dam they did a good job on this pop up parade! i think the base on POP's have always been an issue for me but overall looks pretty solid for the price you paying. definitely feel your pain with increasing shipping prices! did Amiami send to you in the 140box? EMS to Australia for 140box is around 8900 yen now.
I don't like the sword being this clean, does not fit the vibe at all, but it's possible to print a version with visible wear and then add some dark red paint. The cloak might be repairable but i would not bother...
I really like pop up parades. Its the perfect price range for me. And like in my opinion, you are getting what you paid for in most cases. Like, just dont compare it to a figure thats 100 lol
im honestly so excited to receive him. my bf and i LOVE berserk and though hes not as deep in to the figure hobby as i am, i got him this for christmas! should be here anyday now :3c
Yea I bought this from AmiAmi, I should have it in the next few days, I just payed the customs for it. But I do have a few of those Prime1 statues, I have Skull Knight, Griffith, Schierke, Egg of the Perfect World and the Hand of God, and I’ve bought the new Berserker armor Guts with the astral Schierke. But right after I bought that they rereleased the original Berserker armor Guts in a bloody version, I always wanted that one, it looks exactly like this Pop Up Parade here.
I have the full collection of PUP "Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari" figures, plus a P5 Queen figure, and neither of them has any problems, no missprinting, and the face details are also very decent.
My problem is I have absolutely nowhere to put this figure, these smaller figures I just put on top or around the manga that they’re from, and I already have the Hand of God to the left of the deluxe editions, a Behelit on top of the regular volumes and the Egg of the Perfect world to the right, I can’t fit it anywhere else on the shelf, it won’t fit on the top of any of them, it’s too tall. Don’t know where I’m going to put it, but I had to buy it.
Originally I was hooked in with collecting by Azur Lane. I fell in love with Wings Co.'s Azur Lane Jean Bart (albeit the QC issues with the table stand). She is actually gorgeous at 1/7 scale. I did not even care about the upscaled price as the stock was non existent apart from eBay resellers I bought it + ended up paying UK Customs on Her. And as a Berserk Fan boy since forever. I ended up buying the Pop Up Figure L with the Milight as well. He escaped customs charges bought from Plazajapan. (and then as an Fate Stay Night fan boy... Fate Grand Order (mobile game) figures a lot of it lol, all 1/7 scale Jalter, Scathach, Okita Assassin and Alter, Mordred by GSC...) but yeah. They are not cheap. But they are really really gorgeous. Specially one's made by GSC and ALTER. And I really really love the addition of LED light on guts. I hope or wished other manufacturer's can try and incorporate an extra part that can accomodate the Milight series of LED.
I think you failed to mention the alternate lighting option on his helmet. You can interchange it with a battery powered glowing eyes! Also nice Ouran pic, fan of Inio Asano as well?
I mention the alternate head piece at 7:35 but unfortunately didn't have the battery to show it off. Also yes I love Inio Asano! Oyasumi Punpun is one of if not my favorite manga. You can actually see my Punpun plush in the background of some of my footage lol
If gsc wants to push the l and xl line the first releases they probably don’t want to fk up. Expecting great things in this line until they get overwhelmed and become hit/miss cause of rush out release like rest of Pup
i have RWBY PUP figures and honestly i think theyre gorgeous and i thought they were a great price for the amount of detail that goes into them. i guess it just depends on you personally but i think theyre great and i would honestly recommend them for people just getting into collecting since there are so many character options at good prices.
My first figure was a Korone Pop Up Parade. And I think it's pretty good. Of course they arent like the ultra best quality but it has a great price. Great video you should more like this Also may I get that Korone Wallpaper.
I just wish they hired like 1 guy to put a bit more personality intothe bases every now and then, but they're serviceable for the line and the cheaper prices means I'm more likely to mess around with customizing down the line
Oh nice, that’s a Fate figure, when does that video drop? I’ve been looking at that figure, I love Fate figures, I only have 2, but I have 10 Nendoroids. But my favourite figure is a Fate figure that’s releasing next year, it’s Semiramis from Phat Company. The only place I could find it for sale was BBTS and it was $399, but I had to get it. They really mark up a lot of the Fate figures, there’s one on their site and they’re looking for over $600 for it, that’s resin statue price.
I don’t understand the need for blood for this piece in particular. The point is the dark brooding, like the calm before the storm, like at any moment he’s about to gore through enemies.
Unrelated, but does anyone know if someone makes holiday hats for anime figures? I have a figure I would like to customize for the upcoming holiday. For example, Bunny ears for April, or a Witch hat for Halloween. Maybe there's an Etsy shop that sells them?
It depends on the figure really. When I bought guts, it was combined with 2 other figures and the box was rather big. EMS ended up being cheaper. I don't really have a preference tho, I just pick whichever of the two is cheaper
It depends on the video I guess. Since this video was written out, Normally I record a bunch of B roll of the figure first, then record my voiceover. in this specific case I had a rough idea of when I wanted to be on camera and when I didn't need to be, so I did all the off camera voicework in one take, then the parts where I was on camera. Sometimes I make mistakes or don't like how I sound when I'm rewatching the footage so I'll do it over. I also one have 1 camera which is just my phone. I'd love to upgrade to a real camera and plan to, but right now im just using what I got
It's a Bloodborne shirt from Fangamer. Lately they've been raising their prices which is a bummer but here's the link if you're interested www.fangamer.com/products/bloodborne-blades-of-mercy-shirt
It's super old and fairly hard to find. My Older brother's best friend was throwin shit out years ago and he just grabbed this and gave it to me. Random as hell and I don't even have the box for it. The company that made it is called Uplark if you want to look more into it
I'm a bit late to this and preorders are closed for the sites I see mentioned below. Any recommendations on where it would be safe to purchase from now?
Definitely trickier these days. I'm not sure where you are from but I see rightstuf still has preorders open. Not sure what their shipping prices are though. I think there's still a wave of orders that haven't made it to America yet so that might be your best chance to get him at retail price, unless you find him used on the aftermarket which is also very possible if you give it some time
Preordered this on AmiAmi for 7480¥ (almost 1/3 the price of other sites) but when it released & I received my payment request with an additional 15,340¥ s&h added to the invoice I just pretended I never saw the email & let it auto-cancel 10 days later. 😅
Wished there was a separate base for my PUP Hinata from Haikyuu, the large hexagon plastic is just rly ugly, I rather no base and prop up against a wall. Any aftermarket bases for PUP?
Unfortunately I've had that Gintoki figure since like 2013 so it's probably not super easy to find for the cheap price it used to be. It's a solid figure for something almost 10 years old, though there might be better options now. Here's a link to the one I have myfigurecollection.net/item/9921
Consider me jealous as fuck lol. How would you say the aftermarket prices are on them? I feel like i've seen some that were around MSRP at later dates but truthfully I don't even know how many there are
@@ZuccoFigures depends on which pieces, some have had rereleases, like the 1/4 scale guts got a bloody version. thats why both are around msrp and you can also find them on sale on the prime1 store. but the 1/4 scale zod is worth 4000$ now and so is the berserker armor 1/4.
@@Rizzilante777 Couple days? Depends on the shipping method you use of course. AmiAmi and alot of other stores are about to go on break for the holiday tho so it's a bad time to order if you want something fast lol
@@ChungMyers sorry, it corrected myself but it was 17200 yen for DHL or EMS, I changed it to surface which was 9500. Yes I'm in the US. The other package is also fairly large but yes, still. The only other figure that came close to the shipping price was Ning Guang but her package was about 20 lbs.
I forgot to mention this in the video but I originally had him ordered on Amazon.jp but had to cancel there for dumb reasons. Regardless, the shipping was way better (like 3500 or something) so I feel like I missed out on a good deal, but moving forward I think any figures like Nendoroids or Pop up's are probably best ordered from stores in my country instead for shipping sake. 17200 is insane though. How big was this other figure?
Depends on the store really. The figure released in November but stores outside of Japan will have to wait till they get their stock in which can take up to a few months

Prize Figures are always some of my go to. Nice representations of my favorite things even if the quality isn't jaw dropping.

So difficult to decide on this one. It is the only affordable Guts in a while, but should I settle for affordable? I feel like Berserk might deserve a "stupid financial decision". Or I will just buy a bunch of Displates.

I fell in love with Wings Co.'s Azur Lane Jean Bart (albeit the QC issues with the table stand). She is actually gorgeous at 1/7 scale. I did not even care about the upscaled price as the stock was non existent apart from eBay resellers I bought it + ended up paying UK Customs on Her.
And as a Berserk Fan boy since forever. I ended up buying the Pop Up Figure L with the Milight as well. He escaped customs charges bought from Plazajapan.
(and then as an Fate Stay Night fan boy... Fate Grand Order (mobile game) figures a lot of it lol, all 1/7 scale Jalter, Scathach, Okita Assassin and Alter, Mordred by GSC...) but yeah.
They are not cheap. But they are really really gorgeous. Specially one's made by GSC and ALTER.
And I really really love the addition of LED light on guts. I hope or wished other manufacturer's can try and incorporate an extra part that can accomodate the Milight series of LED.
Azur Lane figures are simply superior! I was thinking of getting a Jean Bart into the UK too previously, but was scared of customs!
just a reminder that they already announced a Guts nendoroid in the works
I'm glad it turned out well. Hot take, but I daresay that this one is better quality than other scale figures.
I think you failed to mention the alternate lighting option on his helmet. You can interchange it with a battery powered glowing eyes! Also nice Ouran pic, fan of Inio Asano as well?
I mention the alternate head piece at 7:35 but unfortunately didn't have the battery to show it off. Also yes I love Inio Asano! Oyasumi Punpun is one of if not my favorite manga. You can actually see my Punpun plush in the background of some of my footage lol
If gsc wants to push the l and xl line the first releases they probably don’t want to fk up. Expecting great things in this line until they get overwhelmed and become hit/miss cause of rush out release like rest of Pup
i have RWBY PUP figures and honestly i think theyre gorgeous and i thought they were a great price for the amount of detail that goes into them. i guess it just depends on you personally but i think theyre great and i would honestly recommend them for people just getting into collecting since there are so many character options at good prices.
i will say tho ive seen so many people make custom bases because the hexagon bases are just so weird and out of place
is that the Katana Zero ost i hear in the background absolute legend subbed
My first figure was a Korone Pop Up Parade. And I think it's pretty good. Of course they arent like the ultra best quality but it has a great price.
Great video you should more like this
Also may I get that Korone Wallpaper.
Thanks, I enjoy making videos like this but sometimes its hard to find the time to lol . Also here ya go i.imgur.com/jnE6e23.jpeg
Mad jealous of that Lloyd Irving.
It took forever to hunt him down, but I'm glad I eventually found him. Alter should really rerelease him for the remaster, whenever that's coming out
I guess I got lucky, I got an original Figma Guts for $109 and a seller on ebay cut me a deal for Slan without Conrad or the box for $150
I was a bit worried after POing PUP guts since the recent PUP releases were all subpar, but happy to see that PUP guts turned out great
There's a chibi guts figure that was supposed to come out on December 2023 but got delayed till may24 2024
It's a great figure and looks amazing..only thing is at least mine tye shipping was expensive
Im loving the figure and for the price yeah its awesome. But yeah the shipping price was a shot in the gut
He looks great overall! I do have a couple of PUPs and I don't mind them, although I just wish the base colors matched per series line at least.
I just wish they hired like 1 guy to put a bit more personality intothe bases every now and then, but they're serviceable for the line and the cheaper prices means I'm more likely to mess around with customizing down the line
Oh nice, that’s a Fate figure, when does that video drop? I’ve been looking at that figure, I love Fate figures, I only have 2, but I have 10 Nendoroids. But my favourite figure is a Fate figure that’s releasing next year, it’s Semiramis from Phat Company. The only place I could find it for sale was BBTS and it was $399, but I had to get it. They really mark up a lot of the Fate figures, there’s one on their site and they’re looking for over $600 for it, that’s resin statue price.
If I get it done on time, aiming for around Christmas. Still have to get out another video first which I'm behind on. Busy busy busy
Hold up hold up, is that Katana Zero I hear in the background? 👀
The L pups so far kinda fire, I think I might have to get the upcoming Panty for sure!
Also as for this one IT'S FINALLY OPAQUE, ITS FINE.
I think it looks great just spot on
Foe the price and quality i name this the best berserk figure
the catch is you'll be sacrificed to pup so they can make more of these
I don’t understand the need for blood for this piece in particular. The point is the dark brooding, like the calm before the storm, like at any moment he’s about to gore through enemies.
Blood isn't a necessity, but the appearance makes the sword look unused which is a little strange to me
I will definitely put it on my wishlist !!!
I can only imagine how much the dragonslayer greatsword would be
Unrelated, but does anyone know if someone makes holiday hats for anime figures? I have a figure I would like to customize for the upcoming holiday.
For example, Bunny ears for April, or a Witch hat for Halloween. Maybe there's an Etsy shop that sells them?
Damn that's high cost shipping o-o glad the yen is down , helping my wallet lmao. Do you use DHL shipping ?
It depends on the figure really. When I bought guts, it was combined with 2 other figures and the box was rather big. EMS ended up being cheaper. I don't really have a preference tho, I just pick whichever of the two is cheaper
Hey man, which song do you have playing in the background during your outro? Definitely comes from Valhalla, but which one?
It's Safe Haven
Nice figure how much does it weigh?
A little unfortunate you cant display him without the base. Mine is traveling by sea mail so cant wait to open him in 4 months :P
Definitely the smarter move lol
i like the katana zero ost in the background
It’s like $80 on crunchroll but you gotta wait 6more months. I don’t regret getting it from amiami though
Crunchy has pretty good prices for figures like this, though at the risk of it getting damaged lol
love the katana zero ost
Do you do several different recordings or just do the monologue and add in the rest later or have multiple cameras set up?
It depends on the video I guess. Since this video was written out, Normally I record a bunch of B roll of the figure first, then record my voiceover. in this specific case I had a rough idea of when I wanted to be on camera and when I didn't need to be, so I did all the off camera voicework in one take, then the parts where I was on camera. Sometimes I make mistakes or don't like how I sound when I'm rewatching the footage so I'll do it over. I also one have 1 camera which is just my phone. I'd love to upgrade to a real camera and plan to, but right now im just using what I got
DUDE. I love your shirt. What is it from?
It's a Bloodborne shirt from Fangamer. Lately they've been raising their prices which is a bummer but here's the link if you're interested www.fangamer.com/products/bloodborne-blades-of-mercy-shirt
This is just a plastic cast of Geccos resin sculpt. No complaints
Ordered it and waited for the shipping fee. It doubled the price.
Would have ordered it elsewhere had I known how heavy/big it was gonna be in the end
Their Eren Yaeger looks awesome wdym?
Now for a slan figure
Bro using the Katana Zero ost
Chad
Need to know where you got that kamina dude.
It's super old and fairly hard to find. My Older brother's best friend was throwin shit out years ago and he just grabbed this and gave it to me. Random as hell and I don't even have the box for it. The company that made it is called Uplark if you want to look more into it
>Ruins your Emerson
Are you kidding? You're just nitpicking if you're upset that the cloak has a few small parts
It's a review so yes I'm looking for downsides. I very much like the figure overall
I'm a bit late to this and preorders are closed for the sites I see mentioned below. Any recommendations on where it would be safe to purchase from now?
Definitely trickier these days. I'm not sure where you are from but I see rightstuf still has preorders open. Not sure what their shipping prices are though. I think there's still a wave of orders that haven't made it to America yet so that might be your best chance to get him at retail price, unless you find him used on the aftermarket which is also very possible if you give it some time
Yeah the Dragon slayer can be easily remedied with a little black wash.
Preordered this on AmiAmi for 7480¥ (almost 1/3 the price of other sites) but when it released & I received my payment request with an additional 15,340¥ s&h added to the invoice I just pretended I never saw the email & let it auto-cancel 10 days later. 😅
I don't blame ya for not wanting to buy it after getting that price. Surprised you didn't get banned tho lol
You could always get a 3d printed New base for the figure maybe could comission one witha 3d artist...
Not a bad idea. I'm just very unfamiliar with customs or where to go to commission someone to do it
@@ZuccoFigures cg trader is a good start i have comission a couple of designs but finding the right artist will take a while
Wished there was a separate base for my PUP Hinata from Haikyuu, the large hexagon plastic is just rly ugly, I rather no base and prop up against a wall. Any aftermarket bases for PUP?
I've seen people make custom ones though I'm not sure if they sell them
Good job
Where did you get that gintoki figure in the background? I'm really looking for a quality gintoki
Unfortunately I've had that Gintoki figure since like 2013 so it's probably not super easy to find for the cheap price it used to be. It's a solid figure for something almost 10 years old, though there might be better options now. Here's a link to the one I have myfigurecollection.net/item/9921
awesome video 😊
Sold out already :(
Still available on AmiAmi! though you may want to ship him surface mail to avoid the high shipping fees
@@ZuccoFigures amazing, thank you!
Price in usd? Figure looks amazing honestly 👌🏻
Depends where you buy it from, but before shipping its around 60-70 dollars I think
katana zero ost , blessed
I have the full prime1 line and its worth every penny
Consider me jealous as fuck lol. How would you say the aftermarket prices are on them? I feel like i've seen some that were around MSRP at later dates but truthfully I don't even know how many there are
@@ZuccoFigures depends on which pieces, some have had rereleases, like the 1/4 scale guts got a bloody version. thats why both are around msrp and you can also find them on sale on the prime1 store. but the 1/4 scale zod is worth 4000$ now and so is the berserker armor 1/4.
Mine was only 2000 yens to ship using UPS.
Where did you get your display cases?
They're detolfs from Ikea. I wish I had more of them but they've been raising the prices of them which sucks
Dope
Where did you get the Korone Inugami figure from, please share
I bought her on AmiAmi earlier this year. She should be in stock still. It's made by Spiritale if you want to look into her more
@Zucco how long did it take to get her?
@@Rizzilante777 Couple days? Depends on the shipping method you use of course. AmiAmi and alot of other stores are about to go on break for the holiday tho so it's a bad time to order if you want something fast lol
@Zucco thank you 😊
Mine was also guts + one other figure, shipping was 9500 yen for surface, I knew I should've just gotten from GSC US or TOM smh
If I didn't get surface, it was 17200 for shipping
@@MlkXiu 17200????? Wtf? You in the US? And was it also amiami
@@ChungMyers sorry, it corrected myself but it was 17200 yen for DHL or EMS, I changed it to surface which was 9500. Yes I'm in the US. The other package is also fairly large but yes, still. The only other figure that came close to the shipping price was Ning Guang but her package was about 20 lbs.
I forgot to mention this in the video but I originally had him ordered on Amazon.jp but had to cancel there for dumb reasons. Regardless, the shipping was way better (like 3500 or something) so I feel like I missed out on a good deal, but moving forward I think any figures like Nendoroids or Pop up's are probably best ordered from stores in my country instead for shipping sake. 17200 is insane though. How big was this other figure?
@@ZuccoFigures other figure was the tushan susu 1/7 figure from Fox spirit matchmaker by solarain, it's a 1/7 but I can tell that the size is big.
Wait, i could've sworn i pre-ordered one of these, should i have gotten it by now?
Depends on the store really. The figure released in November but stores outside of Japan will have to wait till they get their stock in which can take up to a few months
@@ZuccoFigures oh okay. I'd pre-order mine on the GoodSmile US store so that would explain it hopefully. Thanks so much for the info on that!
You remind me a bit of TobyFox
