to ask "why collect Nendodroid?" is like to ask "why people collect painting?" "why people collect sculpture?" nendodroid is just sculpture, and cute one at that, also more affordable and pose-able than stone or wood sculpture
Nendoroids are so cool because they allow you to make many different poses as opposed to scales which only have one pose and you can also switch pieces of your nendoroids with other nendoroids and create a whole new version of your favorite characters.
I like/love collecting my friend's origamis. She always makes a tons of origamis and when she's done, she just give it to me and keep them.....(what a memories)
This video made me go "awwww"!As someone who loves all things cute, collecting anime figures is in a way an extension of it. I love anime and what it has taught me. It opened my mind to new experiences, motivated and cheered me up when I was down. Getting anime figures make me happy because it means I can have my favorite characters who I love close to me. Life can get stressful and tiring, but when I come to my room and I'm surrounded by everything I love, I'm reminded of what these characters stand for and get inspired. It makes me forget the stress and can relax. It's kind of like therapy for me.
Nendo Now Kagamine Rin! I found her at a Kinokuniya in 2013( I think?) and thought she was really cute😁 I don't have her anymore, though the new Harvest Moon Rin and Len set is calling my name😍
Before I started to collect nendoroids, playing videogames was my hobby. I'm usually updated to every game news and releases but with having less and less time to play all the games I have bought. I just came to a point that I can't keep up with all the awesome games that are being released. So I had a tough decision of changing hobbies, and eventually I found nendoroid collecting to be the answer. Games and Nendoroids both cost a lot but with nendoroids, it doesn't demand any time to actually enjoy them. I can even enjoy them by just looking at them while I lie in bed after work. :)
I had the same problem you had, I would buy games and never play them cause I didn't have the time. But I didn't want to stop playing games either. I don't know where you live, but if you're in the United States my solution was gamefly. I can rent a game and when I'm done I can just send it back and they'll send another one. I'm actually playing more games now then when I first started collecting. And at 17 bucks a month for as many games I can play is a lot better than 60 bucks for just one game.
i collect figures because i really love art. i see them as statues and art peices. I really love nendroids because they are also toys, so i can play with them and have fun!
This was a nice video. It reminded me of why I like collecting horse models. I like their colors and molds that can look so realistic. Even if they're called "toys" which makes people think it's a childish thing to collect them, there's a lot more to it than that and that goes for every collector. You enjoy collecting new models of your favorite breed or color or famous horse. Breyer specifically has lots of models dedicated to real life horses and during BreyerFest (I guess you can call it similar to a convention) you can meet some of those horses and look at the model of them in your hand and look up to see the living, breathing creature that inspired the model. BreyerFest is 3 days of celebrating horses and you can see and learn so much from basic breed introduction to trick riding and competitions (horseball was super fun to watch! Also when they had full armor jousting) and you actually have fun standing in line to get the special models of that year cause each year they have a theme and then design models around that theme. It's a driving force for me to collect cause not only can I work on photography with the models, I can also respect and learn about the breed or horse and what they've accomplished
wow that's pretty awesome! And that's pretty cool you can have a model of a horse and see the real life version of that horse. Imagine if you could do that with anime characters haha.
Why not? They’re cute, chibi. You can collect and display a lot of them in one small space. They’re so worth the money, looking at the processes that go into making just one nendoroid. Even if you’re not into series that some nendoroids come from, you can still collect them because you love how cute/handsome they are. It’s brilliant
3:36 is the best message so far anyone has gave me thank you SO MUCH and yeah that part struck me because I’m not what people think people think I’m a normal matured 16 year old but no. I’m 10 times timid than others I just pretend to be cool and be a normie so people won’t judge me ever since I got my joker Nendoroid I was like yo I need more I started hoarding Nendos like genos Saito a Shōtō etc. and like you said I cannot let people know I have this kind of hobby because they might judge me and bullshit plus I’m in the Philippines, you rarely see Filipinos do this kind of hobby so yeah people think you’re some kind of weirdo and some shit but ever since I heard this part I immediately sent this to my girlfriend and said I confessed when I ordered online I wasn’t buying clothes I wasn’t buying ps4 games I bought Nendoroids,figmas,and SH figuarts and she said BOBO (dumb ass) she said why did you have to kept it to yourself I collect as well duh and omg I was in tears so yeah thank you for this Dave god bless you
I know this is a 4 year old video but I happened to see it in my recommended, even tho I've been a subscriber, recently I've been doubting myself on and off about how I like nendoroids about what others would think of me and how humiliated others would make me feel and I felt a deep shame and embarrassment to where I wouldn't even dare to let anyone know I liked anything anime-wise but seeing this video has really struck that fire for how much I love these little nendoroids, so I'm deciding to get some nendoroids and make my collection bigger and start collecting again, because who cares what others think, this is my hobby, and not theirs to judge so I'm gonna do what makes me happy! I have a very very small (literally two nendoroids) just because when I started getting into them that's what I had and I love them a lot so I'm gonna try to make my collection bigger and I hope if anyone else is going through this and needs to hear this, well hear ya go!
Currently my collecting habits have changed drastically. Going from Marvel/DC figures + Transformers...to a few SH Figuarts+ Figma...now it's turning into Nendoroids! Currently oogling Meta Knight and both Saber/Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay. Nendos are perfect because they're small (but not too small) and you can sit them on a shelf with a quick pose, then admire them! Plus if you bump into them they may be less likely to fall over (varies per figure I know) as opposed to larger figures. Lastly the price point makes me think carefully before I buy and I only get those I really like.
I love watching your nendoroid reviews and monthly hauls. Everytime I watch your monthly hauls, it makes me want to buy more nendoroids even I don't know what anime they come from because they're soooo cute!! I still remember my 1st nendoroid and it's 2 star uniform ver. Of Mako from Kill la Kill from Anime Expo 2015 and ever since I can't stop buying them! Keep up for more videos! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just bought my first nendoroid, so now the door is open for me too! Who knows what the next year will hold lol. Can't wait to build my first dio for it. Nice collection man! Just subscribed ;)
seeing ur videos about nendoroids want me to collect nendoroids too! xD so I am planning to at least get one this year, and it's the chuuya nendoroid 😜 I love ur nendoroid reviews! 💕
I can't wait for your Aqua review! I was finally able to preorder her rerelease after missing her original preorders 😄 I like to collect Nendoroids because I always wanted to collect figures of my favourite anime characters but I really don't have the room or money for nice scale figures 😢 But I discovered some great Nendoroid Instagram accounts (and then your UA-cam channel) and fell in love with these cute little figures 😍
On the topic on nendoroid, I fixed my sisters Kinata nendoroid yesterday, she's from Lucky Star! She broke 2 years ago, and she thought she wouldn't see her fixed ever again, but I fixed her, she just has to be careful,though, she's leaning against so,etching since she has one leg up and one leg on the floor. And I have the mini ones, you can move their head, but you can't really pose them. They're all Vocaloid and I don't know where two are from, gotta figure that out.
Excellent video! I know people subscribe for your reviews (and rightfully so) but what makes me stay are these little videos that you share about yourself. You are such a positive light, and just so much fun. I've also always been a collector and I find people either get it or just really really don't understand collecting. Also, nothing wrong with loving cute things, and I say that about all things (cute, scary, gore, dirty, etc). You gotta do what makes you happy! and you make others happy, well done sir
Just found out about your channel recently when I looked up an aqua nendroid review. I really love the aqua nendroid and it looks really cute, but it’s sooo expensive 😭😭. Anyways, continue the great reviews, we all enjoy them 😊
I really like the Madoka Magica Nendoroid. I really like the show. It's so tragic, but it's advertised as being really kawaii. I get stuff off of Amazon, so Figmas are WAYYY out of my little budget. But with the 20-30 pound Nendoroids, I could probably collect much more of them quicker. :3
I love collecting and the art style on nendoroids is so perfect compared to chibi arts and other companies where they are slightly too big/small/wide/skinny.
I love collecting :) Nendos are great because they all look like a collection even though all the characters are from completely different worlds! And with their different face plates and accessories, I feel like they're a true embodiment of the character not some static object. They're charming!
I collect a variety of things myself such as Dolls (Variety), Pokemon tcg, Disney belle, hatchimals collectables, now I am starting to collect nendroids. I just preordered my first one which is Belle.
congratulations on hitting 3k! you deserve it and you should have more subscribers. when I see that you upload it makes me happy because you are so funny and I love your intros you are my favorite youtuber to watch.
I like to collect nendoroids because they have a meaning behind them to me, Madoka Magica nendoroids for empowerment and kindness; Kill la Kill nendoroids for empowerment and strength ... etc. I collect prints to remind me of the cons I've been to and the art is always fabulous, though those are easier to keep under control, collection-wise! I always love your videos Dave thank you for working so hard for all of us!
Aww you're welcome! And thank you for watching. I'm with you, I love these figures because of what they mean to me and what they mean as these awesome characters that entertain and inspire us.
So I collect both anime figures and nendoroids, nendoroids are just so fun to take photographs on and switch faceplates and all that stuff! It's so fun :3 and they're just so cute, and anime figures are just so stunning to look at. But since I'm only 17 and I live alone in my small appartment, I go to art collage I can't really afford nendoroids often. Like the Rin and Len harvest moon nendos I want them so bad !! And the re releases of the kill la kill nendos. But I won't be able to get them. So that's kinda sad
You are an impressive collectror. I really like that you are loving what you are doing without hesitating at any moment! Congratulations and keep going on collecting. I'm also an anime figure collector and there are times that is feel guilty of collecting because off all the expenses and the world's reaction but when i watch your videos i feel happy and relieved for what I'm doing!!
I started collecting nendos because of you i think. But i fell in love with Ryuko first and then Aqua. I couldnt buy Ryuko so i preordered Aqua, and then the first i actually owned first was Chitoge. I just loved how cute she looked and with her tsun pose i just wanted her too. I also recently started researching how to edit videos, equipment and all the good stuff. My videos will be about my nendos too, manga, light novels and videogames. However im a million lightyears away to be good as you. My vids are pathetic but im having fun making them and learning as i go through. Anyways i wanted to say thanks for all the hints and help you have given me. Keep up the good work.
I love nenderoids so much aaaaa, but since I’m a broke school student I only own an eren mikasa and Levi nendoroid, I’m currently searching for the banana fish nendoroids! They’re honestly super cute. Nenderoids are genuinely perfect for making customs as well! I love an anime called Mirai Nikki and Yuno only has one figure which is super overpriced- (one sold on yja for 251001 yen!) so I’m thinking of making a custom nendo of her. Love your collection!
I love collecting items as well. Especially anime merch and I love Nendoroids too. I already have 2 of them (a kimono Hastune Miku and Ciel Phantomhive) and I hope to get more soon. But since I'm still a teenager I always have to find ways to convince my parents or to get money. And my parents don't like the fact I collect things they think it's unnecessary and waists money. But I'm still going strong and I hope to sell tons of my older things for newer items to collect :). Edit: oh and by the way, I love your channel and I think you're really funny!
I sometimes think it's a waste of money too haha, but I'm a big kid at heart and would rather buy toys than other stuff lol. And thanks, glad you like my channel :D
Thank you for this video. ❤ I can't count how many times I've stopped myself from buying these kinds of things because of how expensive they are and I just couldn't find myself splurging money on stuff like these BUT just like you, I've also collected cards and other cute shit back in the days and long story short, while me and my boyfriend were looking for his Gundam, I've stumbled upon Nendoroids and lo and behold I've just pre-ordered my first Nendoroid a few days ago and I can't wait to have it by February. It's Joker of Persona 5 by the way! I'm so excited!!! ☺ I love your videos by the way! Keep up the good work!
I just want to pop in and say how much I love your channel! I recently got into nendos and your channel is super helpful and funny! My collection is about to go from 0 to 6 in just a few months. (Pre-ordered every Konosuba and KLK nendo!)
Why am I just seeing you now? I'm 5 years late 😅 but seriously you seem like a really wholesome person! :) I'm having a hard time lately, even if I just came across your channel, you deserve respect man. I appreciate you.
I feel you on learning how to play Pokemon card game, I went to an event to learn, and still can't play. I love nendoroids because they are so cute and I can get like 3 or 4 nendoroids for the cost of one scale figure. They also make nendoroids of characters that we may never get scale figures of.
- Nendoroid : the most action figure that i love,because the design is cute and it's fun to play,you can change any kind of pose you want. - Figma :quite like this kind of action figure,but i don't like with the joint hand of figma,it looks a little bit weird to me. -Scale Figure/Price Figure : every time i buy pvc i just feeling good at the start when unboxing it,but after that it's looks boring because you can't change the pose like figma or nendoroid,and the price of course(for scale figure),it's better if i buy 2 nendoroids than just 1 scale figure which i can't change the pose lol.
hey Dave, I'm travelling in the Philippines and came across this Rin Tohsaka Nendoroid in this mall here..this was my first purchase and seeing this vid is rather inspiring for me. I think I have to go back to the mall and pick up my own Aqua Nendoroid as well hahaha. I've gone ahead and subscribed, cannot wait to see what new content you have in store.
Oh, congrats on hitting 3K! I also like collecting nendoroids because I think they are too cute. I was the kid with a black trench coat, long black boots, and a pentagram necklace when I was in high school, so it's hard to believe but cute things are just too cute! I later found out that some people thought I was a Satanist and super scary when I was in HS, it's kind of amusing because I'm not scary at all. XD I also love the poseability, but lets be real here... I'm pretty sure most of us put them in one pose and don't mess it up unless we want to take pictures, haha. It's always fun to see your openings, I can tell you put effort in them to try to make them as funny as can be. Collecting is also something I have done since young, I still have a box filled with Yu-Gi-Oh cards somewhere in the depths of my closet. Keep up the great work, Dave!
Ose93 thank you!! and you don't seem scary at all haha. and yeah I'm with you, my Nendoroids stay in one pose and I dread having to switch out their pieces for pictures lol!
I love Nendoroids too!!! I have all the Zelda and almost all Pokémon Nendoroids. And I have Harry Potter (three first)! I think my collection will be bigger. I also loved collecting things as a child~ I love the different poses, faces and accessories too. It means it never gets boring like static figures! I wish there were no bootleg Nendoroids though. I haven't seen them yet, and I hope I never will!!! I also love how eg. Marvel Nendoroids resemble the actors' faces really well, it amazes me how they do that transformation to the chibi-format!
I can't express how glad I am to stumble upon this channel when I was scrolling at a character's pictures on Google (Bokuto, specifically). Your review videos are amazing, the quality, the effort, the commentary, my time is NEVER wasted. Your videos always makes me want to start collecting nendoroids of my favorite characters IF I BECOME A NENDOROID COLLECTOR (and I'm planning to become one) THEN YOU'LL BE THE REASON WHY ^-^
One of the things you should mention and its the reason I like to collect them is cost Not to bag on scale figure collectors, but they are very expensive. As opposed to nendoroids which can be had for $30-100 depending on the character/rarity. So you get more bang for the buck, and can get more of them.
I began to collect nendoroids when i saw Miku Senbonzakura. she was so cute with her little bike. i love hatsune miku so i collect all sorts of figures of her but i admit i really love nendoroids.
Nendo Now there are so many Miku ! i'm not even close to have them all. It's not very easy to find nendoroids in my small town in France (thank you internet). Anyway i love your videos and your passion for those cuties. Keep on the good work
There's also the Cu-Poche line made by Kotobukiya, of Frame Arms Girl frame. It's very similar to Nendoroid except they have more articulations as if it's Nendoroid and Figma combined.
I never really got into the expensive $150+ figures. I like to look at them but like you, I tend to gravitate toward cute things that make me smile. Nendoroids just happen to fit nicely with this interest haha.
Exactly...i was never a fan of cute things but for some reason i have liked more these chibi/nendoroids versions of my favorite characters than commom figures and i dont know why ahha
I just recently bought my first nendoroid! At fist I thought they were overpriced but I saw a megumin nendoroid and I just had to have it. Totally worth it!
I collect keychains. I have so many of them. Why? because they are less expensive and require less room :P I love collecting my favorite characters. Nice video btw My first ever Nendoroid Rin from Little Busters. I love her character and her nendoroid so much
I started collecting them after buying the Shomin Sample set from Good Smile, Miyuki is one of my all time favorite character and i wanted anything for her.
I’m still kind of a new Nendoroid collector, I went from collecting Funko pops to now Nendoroids more than pops! The first one I got was Naruto 682 as a present and didn’t really know what to do with it until I got bored with pops and sought out a new hobby. After accumulating money to fund my new hobby I found Jiraiya and Sasuke at a local meetup for pops and just used the money I made from selling to buy those two! My collection is growing and I currently have Naruto, Sasuke, Jiraiya, Gaara (Naruto line), Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu (Your Name line), Bakugo (MHA line), and Megumi (Food Wars line). I want to try to get the ones from Naruto and the Demon Slayer ones! The things I love about Nendoroids compared to Funko pops especially is the amount of creativity you can have with these figures, they hold their values so trading shouldn’t be too hard, and THE CUTENESS! My favorite one out of all my figures is Megumi because of her face plates so I really hope to see some more Food Wars characters because that anime is hilarious 😂 If any of y’all wanna see what else I got or possibly offer up some trades my Instagram is @janelmnop 😁
The Naruto nendoroids are some of my favorite nendoroids because of how detailed they are. And yassss the cuteness!!!! I love Megumi too! I'm surprised they never released more Food Wars nendoroids.
Nendo Now right??? I thought that was strange that only Megumi was adapted to a Nendoroid. We can only hope for more characters since the anime is ending 🥺 The Naruto ones I still want/top priority are Shikamaru, Kakashi, and Hinata! Like I can’t get over how cute they look! 😍
congrats dave on 3000 subbied!, Awesome video your vids alway make me laugh ,there great fun. :3 epic sailor moon card collection so pretty!!! , i love to collect nendos cos there sooooo cute, & its like having tiny ver. of the charaters you love live with you, I can't help but smile when I see there lil faces they make me feel happy. I've collected alot of things over the years ,some i still collect , some i stopped, alot of charater figures/toys mostly whether it be anime, disney or other animated movies or old shows I watched as a kid like my little pony toys & care bears nestelgic toys , things that remind me of home & memories of when I was little, the memories of things/charaters i like & how they Made me feel the things I collect reflect that , they make me feel happy if that makes any sense hehe. :3 .
Aww thanks for sharing Lauren. And CAREBEARS!!! YESSSS!! haha I loved that show when I was a kid. And I'm like you, I collect because it makes me happy and remind me of nice memories of the characters I love.
I bought many nendoroids after watching your reviews. They're amazing! Now I moved to collecting Sailor Moon merch only as everything is so expensive and can not have everything xD I still collect the must have nendoroids for me, like the disney ones that they announced and the Hatsune Miku versions! There's a Sailor Moon variant from MegaHouse that is pretty much like a Nendoroid (Just saying since you mentioned you love her as well!). Thank you for your hard work!
i didnt collect nedoroids before because they didn't make fav. charaters and i ended up collecting the 1/8 scale ones but i didn't regret it but now i only collect nendoroids not only because of my fav. characters ( mostly male characters ) but it's much more cheaper than the big ones and also its easy to stock the boxes it wont take to much space. i still love the big figures and still some of it but i'm much more picky now than before . and that you mention the past i might be a collector when i was a kid i collecting cute little things ( small toys) that i found on the road.
I recently started collecting nendoroids. My first nendoroid was the Guardian stalker from botw. Now I’m trying to collect all the Zelda nendoroids and I’m waiting for kazuma and hachiman from oregairu to be announced
Congratz on 3000 sub Nendo! I always love your videos. They put a smile on my face whenever I watch them and they are a good relaxer after a days work. It is something that I aspire to be.
Looking forward to your review on Aqua! I preordered her a week ago when I found out she's getting a re-released. Along with a few other nendoroids. She's really a hilarious character. Love your Sailor Moon card collection by the way! Thought I'd let you know they're re-releasing those cards in Japan so you might still be able to buy them on various websites. I know Jlist has them but not sure where else.
Who cares what people think.
Thy are beautiful works of art.
I am 59 and collect them, I tell everyone. I am proud of my collection.
Loud and proud!!
You are amazing bro! Want to become you in that age of yours !
Wow u know internet

I love Nendoroids

-good price

Agreed to all of the above!
Indeed~ 😏👌
“Good price”
I hate them because they are expensive and I can't stop buying them
@@MemoryDealerr Same! 🤣
to ask "why collect Nendodroid?" is like to ask "why people collect painting?" "why people collect sculpture?" nendodroid is just sculpture, and cute one at that, also more affordable and pose-able than stone or wood sculpture
I am one of those lucky married men whose wife understands and feeds my nendoroid problem, primarily with Kancolle girls.
So lucky
You're one lucky guy

I just found your channel and you are absolutely adorable omg
reversingmemories aww thanks 😆😆
Nendoroids are so cool because they allow you to make many different poses as opposed to scales which only have one pose and you can also switch pieces of your nendoroids with other nendoroids and create a whole new version of your favorite characters.
Jazzy34 yup!! I love having my characters have different Nendoroid bodies. It makes it look like they are cosplaying haha
You wanna know why i collect nendoroids?
Read the nendoroid slogan on the box.
I like/love collecting my friend's origamis. She always makes a tons of origamis and when she's done, she just give it to me and keep them.....(what a memories)
Aww that's really cool. I used to make a ton of paper cranes, they're really fun to do. It's nice that you keep them.
If i'm not wrong,
if you makes 100 origami cranes and give it to sick person, it's symbolize you hopes them to get well..☺
When I first saw a nendoroid i thought they where ugly , right now i am waiting for 5 nendos to arrive home :'3
I was the same exact way haha.
This video made me go "awwww"!As someone who loves all things cute, collecting anime figures is in a way an extension of it. I love anime and what it has taught me.

Yay happy you did this video! wow those cards are beautiful
Thanks Jess! You're always such an inspiration :D
Go Figure I also have a Sailor Moon TCG collection - all the character starting decks! Was excited to see those.
is that baby Dave??
I still remember buying my first nendo. And now I can't stop...😱💸
Haha yeah, that's baby Dave! And you can't leave me hanging Celia, who was your first nendo!?!?
Nendo Now Kagamine Rin! I found her at a Kinokuniya in 2013( I think?) and thought she was really cute😁 I don't have her anymore, though the new Harvest Moon Rin and Len set is calling my name😍
That Harvest Moon set for the twins is cuter than I ever imagined. Gonna try and say no, but it's so hard haha.

i collect alot of gundam cause i feel so kimochii while building them
Haha that feeling of snapping pieces together is the best!
You can find them pretty easily, Tokyo Otaku Mode, Amazon, lots of hobby shops.
i collect figures because i really love art. i see them as statues and art peices. I really love nendroids because they are also toys, so i can play with them and have fun!
That's a really nice way of looking at it. There are definitely great artists at work when these nendoroids are being designed for sure!
How do you manage to budget your expenses with this hobby?
andrewkful he’s a UA-camr, he doesn’t need to xD
@@natalieJonesgee They just send it to him loll........
I collect figures in general because I love having physical objects of my favorite chracters. plus I like them for there cute/coolness.
sam Toy Wiz Kid I love having physical representations of my favorite characters too😍
This was a nice video. It reminded me of why I like collecting horse models. I like their colors and molds that can look so realistic. Even if they're called "toys" which makes people think it's a childish thing to collect them, there's a lot more to it than that and that goes for every collector. You enjoy collecting new models of your favorite breed or color or famous horse. Breyer specifically has lots of models dedicated to real life horses and during BreyerFest (I guess you can call it similar to a convention) you can meet some of those horses and look at the model of them in your hand and look up to see the living, breathing creature that inspired the model. BreyerFest is 3 days of celebrating horses and you can see and learn so much from basic breed introduction to trick riding and competitions (horseball was super fun to watch! Also when they had full armor jousting) and you actually have fun standing in line to get the special models of that year cause each year they have a theme and then design models around that theme. It's a driving force for me to collect cause not only can I work on photography with the models, I can also respect and learn about the breed or horse and what they've accomplished
wow that's pretty awesome! And that's pretty cool you can have a model of a horse and see the real life version of that horse. Imagine if you could do that with anime characters haha.
Expensive, but I wanna start a collection as well!
Why not? They’re cute, chibi. You can collect and display a lot of them in one small space. They’re so worth the money, looking at the processes that go into making just one nendoroid. Even if you’re not into series that some nendoroids come from, you can still collect them because you love how cute/handsome they are. It’s brilliant
Having my first Nendroid makes me wanna collect more😅😅
Why do I Love Nendroids?
- Cute, Stylish, Chibi
3:36 is the best message so far anyone has gave me thank you SO MUCH and yeah that part struck me because I’m not what people think people think I’m a normal matured 16 year old but no. I’m 10 times timid than others I just pretend to be cool and be a normie so people won’t judge me ever since I got my joker Nendoroid I was like yo I need more I started hoarding Nendos like genos Saito a Shōtō etc. and like you said I cannot let people know I have this kind of hobby because they might judge me and bullshit plus I’m in the Philippines, you rarely see Filipinos do this kind of hobby so yeah people think you’re some kind of weirdo and some shit but ever since I heard this part I immediately sent this to my girlfriend and said I confessed when I ordered online I wasn’t buying clothes I wasn’t buying ps4 games I bought Nendoroids,figmas,and SH figuarts and she said BOBO (dumb ass) she said why did you have to kept it to yourself I collect as well duh and omg I was in tears so yeah thank you for this Dave god bless you
I know this is a 4 year old video but I happened to see it in my recommended, even tho I've been a subscriber, recently I've been doubting myself on and off about how I like nendoroids about what others would think of me and how humiliated others would make me feel and I felt a deep shame and embarrassment to where I wouldn't even dare to let anyone know I liked anything anime-wise but seeing this video has really struck that fire for how much I love these little nendoroids, so I'm deciding to get some nendoroids and make my collection bigger and start collecting again, because who cares what others think, this is my hobby, and not theirs to judge so I'm gonna do what makes me happy! I have a very very small (literally two nendoroids) just because when I started getting into them that's what I had and I love them a lot so I'm gonna try to make my collection bigger and I hope if anyone else is going through this and needs to hear this, well hear ya go!
Happy to hear it! Do what makes you happy!
Currently my collecting habits have changed drastically. Going from Marvel/DC figures + Transformers...to a few SH Figuarts+ Figma...now it's turning into Nendoroids! Currently oogling Meta Knight and both Saber/Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay.
Nendos are perfect because they're small (but not too small) and you can sit them on a shelf with a quick pose, then admire them! Plus if you bump into them they may be less likely to fall over (varies per figure I know) as opposed to larger figures.
Lastly the price point makes me think carefully before I buy and I only get those I really like.
I just got Meta Knight in, and he looks pretty awesome!!
Nendo Now awesome, very jealous though! Haha!
YO is that simple and clean playing Cx
You got it!! :)
I love watching your nendoroid reviews and monthly hauls. Everytime I watch your monthly hauls, it makes me want to buy more nendoroids even I don't know what anime they come from because they're soooo cute!!
I still remember my 1st nendoroid and it's 2 star uniform ver. Of Mako from Kill la Kill from Anime Expo 2015 and ever since I can't stop buying them! Keep up for more videos! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! 2 Star Mako is an amazing Nendoroid!
Just bought my first nendoroid, so now the door is open for me too! Who knows what the next year will hold lol. Can't wait to build my first dio for it. Nice collection man! Just subscribed ;)
Pretty cool that you're doing a dio for your new nendo!! And thanks for subbing!!
I had the biggest smile watching this! I can tell how happy and passionate you are about nendo’s ☺️
seeing ur videos about nendoroids want me to collect nendoroids too! xD so I am planning to at least get one this year, and it's the chuuya nendoroid 😜 I love ur nendoroid reviews! 💕
Yassss Chuuya is soo good. Can't wait to get mine, and thank you. Nice to see another collector born!
I can't wait for your Aqua review! I was finally able to preorder her rerelease after missing her original preorders 😄
I like to collect Nendoroids because I always wanted to collect figures of my favourite anime characters but I really don't have the room or money for nice scale figures 😢
But I discovered some great Nendoroid Instagram accounts (and then your UA-cam channel) and fell in love with these cute little figures 😍
There are so many awesome Nendoroid instagram accounts. Makes me want to collect more too haha.
i want to start collecting them just because itd make me happy. there shouldnt have to be more of a reason for someone to collect something
I started collect my Haikyuu nendoroids because of you, Dave. Thank you
Haha, yes another Haikyuu collector I help joined to the dark side. And Touken Ranbu too!! Yup, our wallets will be screaming for awhile lol
On the topic on nendoroid, I fixed my sisters Kinata nendoroid yesterday, she's from Lucky Star!
She broke 2 years ago, and she thought she wouldn't see her fixed ever again, but I fixed her, she just has to be careful,though, she's leaning against so,etching since she has one leg up and one leg on the floor.
And I have the mini ones, you can move their head, but you can't really pose them.
They're all Vocaloid and I don't know where two are from, gotta figure that out.
Excellent video! I know people subscribe for your reviews (and rightfully so) but what makes me stay are these little videos that you share about yourself. You are such a positive light, and just so much fun. I've also always been a collector and I find people either get it or just really really don't understand collecting. Also, nothing wrong with loving cute things, and I say that about all things (cute, scary, gore, dirty, etc). You gotta do what makes you happy! and you make others happy, well done sir
Thanks Val!! I'm really glad you enjoy these videos!
I think its so cute that you love cute things!! But yes I agree, seeing cute small versions of your favorite characters is so nice
Collect all the cute things!!!
i like the kingdom hearts simple and clean in the background
I love your nendoroid collection !!! 😭❤️
Thank you!!
Just found out about your channel recently when I looked up an aqua nendroid review. I really love the aqua nendroid and it looks really cute, but it’s sooo expensive 😭😭. Anyways, continue the great reviews, we all enjoy them 😊
I just got my first nendoroid the other day and I’m in love 🥺
I really like the Madoka Magica Nendoroid. I really like the show. It's so tragic, but it's advertised as being really kawaii. I get stuff off of Amazon, so Figmas are WAYYY out of my little budget. But with the 20-30 pound Nendoroids, I could probably collect much more of them quicker. :3
Yeah, Nendoroids are really accessible in terms of price, some of the time. haha
i can relate to always having to collect stuff,lol. I'm thinking of doing a manga/nendroid collection soon!
I love collecting and the art style on nendoroids is so perfect compared to chibi arts and other companies where they are slightly too big/small/wide/skinny.
I love collecting :) Nendos are great because they all look like a collection even though all the characters are from completely different worlds! And with their different face plates and accessories, I feel like they're a true embodiment of the character not some static object. They're charming!
Completely agree Katie!
I collect a variety of things myself such as Dolls (Variety), Pokemon tcg, Disney belle, hatchimals collectables, now I am starting to collect nendroids. I just preordered my first one which is Belle.
Awesome! Glad to hear it! Belle is a beautiful nendoroid!
congratulations on hitting 3k! you deserve it and you should have more subscribers. when I see that you upload it makes me happy because you are so funny and I love your intros you are my favorite youtuber to watch.
Fluffy O'Bannon aww thank you!! 💕💕
I like to collect nendoroids because they have a meaning behind them to me, Madoka Magica nendoroids for empowerment and kindness; Kill la Kill nendoroids for empowerment and strength ... etc. I collect prints to remind me of the cons I've been to and the art is always fabulous, though those are easier to keep under control, collection-wise! I always love your videos Dave thank you for working so hard for all of us!
Aww you're welcome! And thank you for watching. I'm with you, I love these figures because of what they mean to me and what they mean as these awesome characters that entertain and inspire us.
So I collect both anime figures and nendoroids, nendoroids are just so fun to take photographs on and switch faceplates and all that stuff! It's so fun :3 and they're just so cute, and anime figures are just so stunning to look at. But since I'm only 17 and I live alone in my small appartment, I go to art collage I can't really afford nendoroids often. Like the Rin and Len harvest moon nendos I want them so bad !! And the re releases of the kill la kill nendos. But I won't be able to get them. So that's kinda sad
Yeah, being in school and a collector just doesn't mix. I didn't start well after college so hang in there, your collecting days are ahead of you :D
You are an impressive collectror.
I really like that you are loving what you are doing without hesitating at any moment! Congratulations and keep going on collecting.
I'm also an anime figure collector and there are times that is feel guilty of collecting because off all the expenses and the world's reaction but when i watch your videos i feel happy and relieved for what I'm doing!!
I started collecting nendos because of you i think. But i fell in love with Ryuko first and then Aqua. I couldnt buy Ryuko so i preordered Aqua, and then the first i actually owned first was Chitoge. I just loved how cute she looked and with her tsun pose i just wanted her too.
I also recently started researching how to edit videos, equipment and all the good stuff. My videos will be about my nendos too, manga, light novels and videogames. However im a million lightyears away to be good as you. My vids are pathetic but im having fun making them and learning as i go through.
Anyways i wanted to say thanks for all the hints and help you have given me.
Keep up the good work.
I started to buying and looking for the Nendoroids because of you~ hehe you inspired me! Thanks!
haha that's awesome!
I love nenderoids so much aaaaa, but since I’m a broke school student I only own an eren mikasa and Levi nendoroid, I’m currently searching for the banana fish nendoroids! They’re honestly super cute. Nenderoids are genuinely perfect for making customs as well! I love an anime called Mirai Nikki and Yuno only has one figure which is super overpriced- (one sold on yja for 251001 yen!) so I’m thinking of making a custom nendo of her. Love your collection!
I love collecting items as well. Especially anime merch and I love Nendoroids too. I already have 2 of them (a kimono Hastune Miku and Ciel Phantomhive) and I hope to get more soon. But since I'm still a teenager I always have to find ways to convince my parents or to get money. And my parents don't like the fact I collect things they think it's unnecessary and waists money. But I'm still going strong and I hope to sell tons of my older things for newer items to collect :).
Edit: oh and by the way, I love your channel and I think you're really funny!
I sometimes think it's a waste of money too haha, but I'm a big kid at heart and would rather buy toys than other stuff lol.
And thanks, glad you like my channel :D
Thank you for this video. ❤ I can't count how many times I've stopped myself from buying these kinds of things because of how expensive they are and I just couldn't find myself splurging money on stuff like these BUT just like you, I've also collected cards and other cute shit back in the days and long story short, while me and my boyfriend were looking for his Gundam, I've stumbled upon Nendoroids and lo and behold I've just pre-ordered my first Nendoroid a few days ago and I can't wait to have it by February. It's Joker of Persona 5 by the way! I'm so excited!!! ☺ I love your videos by the way! Keep up the good work!
Congrats for the 3000 subscribers!!! you're one of the best youtuber ever!!! You are an inspiration to us :)
Aww thanks :D
I just want to pop in and say how much I love your channel! I recently got into nendos and your channel is super helpful and funny! My collection is about to go from 0 to 6 in just a few months. (Pre-ordered every Konosuba and KLK nendo!)
Hey Nick, that's so awesome. I'm glad you enjoy my videos and your collection is off to an amazing start!
Why am I just seeing you now? I'm 5 years late 😅 but seriously you seem like a really wholesome person! :)
I'm having a hard time lately, even if I just came across your channel, you deserve respect man. I appreciate you.
I feel you on learning how to play Pokemon card game, I went to an event to learn, and still can't play. I love nendoroids because they are so cute and I can get like 3 or 4 nendoroids for the cost of one scale figure. They also make nendoroids of characters that we may never get scale figures of.
Yeah, there are so many nendoroids coming out of characters who I thought would never get one! I'm so excited to see all the announcements to come.
I have 2 nendoroids, and i am jealous of your collection
- Nendoroid : the most action figure that i love,because the design is cute and it's fun to play,you can change any kind of pose you want.
- Figma :quite like this kind of action figure,but i don't like with the joint hand of figma,it looks a little bit weird to me.
-Scale Figure/Price Figure : every time i buy pvc i just feeling good at the start when unboxing it,but after that it's looks boring because you can't change the pose like figma or nendoroid,and the price of course(for scale figure),it's better if i buy 2 nendoroids than just 1 scale figure which i can't change the pose lol.
Yeah I agree with you! :)
hey Dave, I'm travelling in the Philippines and came across this Rin Tohsaka Nendoroid in this mall here..this was my first purchase and seeing this vid is rather inspiring for me. I think I have to go back to the mall and pick up my own Aqua Nendoroid as well hahaha.
I've gone ahead and subscribed, cannot wait to see what new content you have in store.
Oh, congrats on hitting 3K! I also like collecting nendoroids because I think they are too cute.
I was the kid with a black trench coat, long black boots, and a pentagram necklace when I was in high school, so it's hard to believe but cute things are just too cute! I later found out that some people thought I was a Satanist and super scary when I was in HS, it's kind of amusing because I'm not scary at all. XD
I also love the poseability, but lets be real here... I'm pretty sure most of us put them in one pose and don't mess it up unless we want to take pictures, haha.
It's always fun to see your openings, I can tell you put effort in them to try to make them as funny as can be. Collecting is also something I have done since young, I still have a box filled with Yu-Gi-Oh cards somewhere in the depths of my closet.
Keep up the great work, Dave!
Ose93 thank you!! and you don't seem scary at all haha. and yeah I'm with you, my Nendoroids stay in one pose and I dread having to switch out their pieces for pictures lol!
Im about to start collecting nendoroids this coming january and you really inspired me alot
I love Nendoroids too!!! I have all the Zelda and almost all Pokémon Nendoroids. And I have Harry Potter (three first)! I think my collection will be bigger. I also loved collecting things as a child~ I love the different poses, faces and accessories too. It means it never gets boring like static figures! I wish there were no bootleg Nendoroids though. I haven't seen them yet, and I hope I never will!!! I also love how eg. Marvel Nendoroids resemble the actors' faces really well, it amazes me how they do that transformation to the chibi-format!
I can't express how glad I am to stumble upon this channel when I was scrolling at a character's pictures on Google (Bokuto, specifically). Your review videos are amazing, the quality, the effort, the commentary, my time is NEVER wasted. Your videos always makes me want to start collecting nendoroids of my favorite characters
IF I BECOME A NENDOROID COLLECTOR (and I'm planning to become one) THEN YOU'LL BE THE REASON WHY ^-^
Thank you, you're very kind. Hope you enjoy your soon to be collection!
One of the things you should mention and its the reason I like to collect them is cost
Not to bag on scale figure collectors, but they are very expensive. As opposed to nendoroids which can be had for $30-100 depending on the character/rarity. So you get more bang for the buck, and can get more of them.
Yup, that's definitely true!
Cause there cute, anime and nendoroid💕 and yup love Pokemon💕 yea collecting does fill that void in your heart❤️
It definitely helps fill that void a little .... haha
I began to collect nendoroids when i saw Miku Senbonzakura. she was so cute with her little bike. i love hatsune miku so i collect all sorts of figures of her but i admit i really love nendoroids.
hklmaz There are so many Miku Nendoroids you could have a whole collection based on that haha
Nendo Now there are so many Miku ! i'm not even close to have them all. It's not very easy to find nendoroids in my small town in France (thank you internet). Anyway i love your videos and your passion for those cuties. Keep on the good work
Nendoroids are the figures of the gods. Keep going. And don’t give up. WE BELIEVE IN YOU.
As long as you're happy! That's what's truly important. Kudos
This is pretty sweet! Unlike a brand, I love collecting figures, cards, keychains, straps, plushies, and more of Hanamaru Kunikida
Aww I love Hanamaru!! ZURA!!!~~ Keep collecting what you love, no matter what anyone says!!
There's also the Cu-Poche line made by Kotobukiya, of Frame Arms Girl frame. It's very similar to Nendoroid except they have more articulations as if it's Nendoroid and Figma combined.
I have two Cu-poche. I don't really like to collect them though cause I don't like joints on figures.
I just bought 4 different ones, I can’t wait I want to start a collection as well!
Imagine walking into someone’s room and seeing the shelf behind him in their room. I would be hella intimated
I love this video! I can't believe I got addicted to buying these things. I can't stop!
Hi Dave, hope you do another room tour! It's been almost a year!
Maybe towards the end of the year :D
Louder 😌 i’m starting to collect them but the one i want are so hard to find and more expensive but they are worth it 🥰
I never really got into the expensive $150+ figures. I like to look at them but like you, I tend to gravitate toward cute things that make me smile. Nendoroids just happen to fit nicely with this interest haha.
As long as it brings a smile to our faces...that's all that matters! :D
Exactly...i was never a fan of cute things but for some reason i have liked more these chibi/nendoroids versions of my favorite characters than commom figures and i dont know why ahha
because of you i want to continue collecting nendoroids
Aww that's awesome!
"who cares what people think about your hobbies" well as long as they are legal
i watched that aqua intro at least 100 times
I want to collect them because they are cute also finishing an anime i check to see if that anime has a Nendoroid counterpart
I love nendoroids I have 5 of them, I have the type moon petit set coming in the mail and I am so excited!
Yay, those are so cute!
That Thumbnail😭😂😆 Umaru chan
Umaru, the ultimate otaku. There was no other choice for thumbnail. haha
I have 13 nendoroids now and im collecting ;.; i love them
I just recently bought my first nendoroid! At fist I thought they were overpriced but I saw a megumin nendoroid and I just had to have it. Totally worth it!
I collect keychains. I have so many of them. Why? because they are less expensive and require less room :P I love collecting my favorite characters. Nice video btw My first ever Nendoroid Rin from Little Busters. I love her character and her nendoroid so much
Thanks! I have a small collection of keychains too!
I started collecting them after buying the Shomin Sample set from Good Smile, Miyuki is one of my all time favorite character and i wanted anything for her.
‘Sees renge from non non biyori in the background’
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well
I’m still kind of a new Nendoroid collector, I went from collecting Funko pops to now Nendoroids more than pops! The first one I got was Naruto 682 as a present and didn’t really know what to do with it until I got bored with pops and sought out a new hobby. After accumulating money to fund my new hobby I found Jiraiya and Sasuke at a local meetup for pops and just used the money I made from selling to buy those two! My collection is growing and I currently have Naruto, Sasuke, Jiraiya, Gaara (Naruto line), Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu (Your Name line), Bakugo (MHA line), and Megumi (Food Wars line). I want to try to get the ones from Naruto and the Demon Slayer ones! The things I love about Nendoroids compared to Funko pops especially is the amount of creativity you can have with these figures, they hold their values so trading shouldn’t be too hard, and THE CUTENESS! My favorite one out of all my figures is Megumi because of her face plates so I really hope to see some more Food Wars characters because that anime is hilarious 😂 If any of y’all wanna see what else I got or possibly offer up some trades my Instagram is @janelmnop 😁
The Naruto nendoroids are some of my favorite nendoroids because of how detailed they are. And yassss the cuteness!!!! I love Megumi too! I'm surprised they never released more Food Wars nendoroids.
Nendo Now right??? I thought that was strange that only Megumi was adapted to a Nendoroid. We can only hope for more characters since the anime is ending 🥺 The Naruto ones I still want/top priority are Shikamaru, Kakashi, and Hinata! Like I can’t get over how cute they look! 😍
@@janelgozum603 I got Hinata's Nendoroid recently and yeah she looks amazing!!
Nendo Now lucky!!! By any chance do you have an IG account dedicated to your Nendoroids?
@@janelgozum603 I do. I actually just followed your account. @nendo_now
congrats dave on 3000 subbied!, Awesome video your vids alway make me laugh ,there great fun. :3 epic sailor moon card collection so pretty!!! , i love to collect nendos cos there sooooo cute, & its like having tiny ver. of the charaters you love live with you, I can't help but smile when I see there lil faces they make me feel happy. I've collected alot of things over the years ,some i still collect , some i stopped, alot of charater figures/toys mostly whether it be anime, disney or other animated movies or old shows I watched as a kid like my little pony toys & care bears nestelgic toys , things that remind me of home & memories of when I was little, the memories of things/charaters i like & how they Made me feel the things I collect reflect that , they make me feel happy if that makes any sense hehe. :3 .
Aww thanks for sharing Lauren. And CAREBEARS!!! YESSSS!! haha I loved that show when I was a kid. And I'm like you, I collect because it makes me happy and remind me of nice memories of the characters I love.
Awesome video! Even though I've never even met you, I relate so much to you =) I used to collect those Sailor Moon cards too!!
Aww it's nice to know I'm relatable haha. Always thought I was kinda weird lol
lol i never said you weren't weird. =P id like to think im quite odd myself haha
me: *sees a LOT of nendoroids in the background*
*screams violently and subscribes*
I bought many nendoroids after watching your reviews. They're amazing! Now I moved to collecting Sailor Moon merch only as everything is so expensive and can not have everything xD I still collect the must have nendoroids for me, like the disney ones that they announced and the Hatsune Miku versions! There's a Sailor Moon variant from MegaHouse that is pretty much like a Nendoroid (Just saying since you mentioned you love her as well!). Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for your nice comment!!! I really need to scale back my collecting too haha.
I share the obsession to collect stuff I can relate so much!!!
i didnt collect nedoroids before because they didn't make fav. charaters and i ended up collecting the 1/8 scale ones but i didn't regret it but now i only collect nendoroids not only because of my fav. characters ( mostly male characters ) but it's much more cheaper than the big ones and also its easy to stock the boxes it wont take to much space. i still love the big figures and still some of it but i'm much more picky now than before . and that you mention the past i might be a collector when i was a kid i collecting cute little things ( small toys) that i found on the road.
I love big figures too, just wish I had more space to display everything!
I recently started collecting nendoroids. My first nendoroid was the Guardian stalker from botw. Now I’m trying to collect all the Zelda nendoroids and I’m waiting for kazuma and hachiman from oregairu to be announced
I also love collecting stuff especially figures
Congratz on 3000 sub Nendo! I always love your videos. They put a smile on my face whenever I watch them and they are a good relaxer after a days work. It is something that I aspire to be.
Thanks.
Looking forward to your review on Aqua! I preordered her a week ago when I found out she's getting a re-released. Along with a few other nendoroids. She's really a hilarious character. Love your Sailor Moon card collection by the way! Thought I'd let you know they're re-releasing those cards in Japan so you might still be able to buy them on various websites. I know Jlist has them but not sure where else.
iTiffanyi Cool! Thanks for letting me know! I love Sailor Moon so much 😭😭😭
1/ they remind me of Little Sisters back in Bioshock
2/ they're cute
3/ they're making me feel calm
Tuan Cuong Pham Those little sisters were so creepy haha. Though nendos can be creepy to sometimes 😂😂
for example, Kotori training version if you look at a different side
