    I don't think I have ever seen a box this huge! I refuse to believe that some of the choices, like keeping all that hair in one piece, or the multiple circle bases, were necessary 🧐
    She is so classy though! 😳

    • @TheSilentConnoisseur
      @TheSilentConnoisseur  Рік тому +2

      The box design and some design choices, like the size of the ponytail, are certainly questionable. Alas, the figure itself is still very nice with that bunny bun trying to bend the metal rod, haha!

    Great showcase as always!
    My thought on this figure: expensive, good body sculpt but not too many details, and the face is kinda off.
    I will take Apex's wedding NJ over this any day - the pose is divine, the amount of small details is godly, insane customization (three face plates, veil on/off, dress tail on/off), and it's 1:7 which is always a plus for me personally. I prefer smaller scale because I feel like small equals good craftsmanship... and it takes way less real estate 😂
    Btw Import tax is 10% at my place, but duty free for packages under 2m VND (about $90). Normally the seller can produce a "friendly" invoice to take advantage of this, but NJ's box is so big it will damn sure be raising custom's eyebrows 😂

    • @TheSilentConnoisseur
      @TheSilentConnoisseur  Рік тому +2

      Many thanks! And oh yeah, the Oath New Jersey by APEX is also on my list! While this Bunny New Jersey has its flaws, it is still a nice figure to have. Certainly not suitable or affordable for many collectors out there but I am just weak to bunny shipgirls...urgh! I just cannot say "No!" to them!

    Word of advice! Be careful when putting the metal pole into the bottom part, apparently if you push to hard, can come right out of the bottom of the plastic base! Looks amazing!! The flat parts on the bottom of the hair is slightly rotated / un-level, anyone else figure out how to have the flat parts of hair level with the base?

    • @TheSilentConnoisseur
      @TheSilentConnoisseur  8 місяців тому

      Thanks for the advice. Some hair strings with flat bottoms are not aligned properly because of the material. It is rather elastic and less stiff and reduces the chance of accidentally breaking it. One way to affix them to the bases is simply using a bit of double-sided tape, preferably thin and transparent ones because they are easy to remove without leaving stains or marks and are quite strong (if you buy from a well-known brand).

  • @raremessagefound7138
    @raremessagefound7138 Рік тому +2

    I still think for a figure that big plus shipping; it would of been nice if they did those bases a bit better. Such as detailing rather then plain looking. Otherwise a impressive figure.
    Side note: december is coming with new releases such as my favorites coming from arknights, which is one of my favorites. Unfortunately i cant get this figure because my list for December already exceeds my wallets budget....

    • @TheSilentConnoisseur

    • @TheSilentConnoisseur
      @TheSilentConnoisseur  Рік тому +5

      1 main base and three support bases to level the hair and prevent sagging. Excessive, yes. Necessary? No, because you can literally use anything else to level/prop up the hair. Like using the base of other FREEing figures because their bases are also too large but are all the same height, haha!

    • @TheSilentConnoisseur
      @TheSilentConnoisseur  Рік тому +4

      The bases are typical for FREEing: plain and sometimes too big - no matter the price tag. And yes, the shipping costs are the main reason why many collectors and commanders outside of Japan won't buy it. Rather sad because despite the flaws and high price tag, the figure itself is still very good. And that bunny shipgirl bun? **chef's kiss**

    • @TheSilentConnoisseur
      @TheSilentConnoisseur  5 місяців тому

      Customs might got suspicious of the overall high price and shipping cost for a collectible figure. I also wished that certain parts like the hair would have been made better or differently, which would have decreased the price and size box. Alas, we can only hope that FREEing is learning for that. NY buttocks is still "mind bending", hehehe!
