Every time I see one of your videos no one compares for video edits for PVCs. The photos, angles and video editing is just pristine.
You have to have a professional background in these skills because it's just so far above the competition with other figure UA-camrs.
Fantastic job!
Figure looks pretty nice but man that shipping, I’m still waiting on Ägir and Chen’s Chinese dress to preorder it’s driving me crazy
www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-145851its up lol
@@KenKen004 bro the excitement I felt when I checked Amiami 😭
@@will-i-am7087 same lol, I plan to display her with Nian. They are going to look great together.
@@KenKen004 Kenken. I break up the boxes and put them in a chest. Don't know if u tried it, but it saves my 10 ft x 12 ft room the monstrosity of huge boxes.
@@LordKaraOfficial honestly breaking down the boxes is a fine idea, but i don't know where id put the blister packaging lmao, since i keep that as well and have it in the box.
You know i have the same problem right now. Waiting for an Albedo one to release, but i got an email that EMS is not available anymore and immediately wrote to customer service and they said and i quote "only FedEx is currently available for 75usd extra and surface parcel witch is wont cost any more but takes about 2-3 months to ship". Dude i think 75 is ok, because i can't imagine using surface parcel and when it will finally arrive it would be so beat up. Its tough ordering anything from abroad nowadays.
I personally always use surface
fwiw I always use surface AND an intermediate freight forwarder and the figures have always come in great. The wait you have to get used to though
Surface would be good for saving money but if your items get lost or damaged you won’t be able to get your money back so you risk losing money and figures
Honestly, much respect to non-Americans who are still figure collecting despite the high shipping prices over there. I couldn’t imagine paying for shipping that cost MORE than the figure itself. My limit on shipping is $60 and if it goes over that amount, then I gladly ship via surface parcel.
If I weren’t in America, then I think I would’ve quit figure collecting a long time ago (or at least took a break until shipping stabilized). The prices you guys have to pay for shipping (and on top of that customs) is absolutely insane! I don’t know how you guys do it.
Where you order from then? 😂 I live in Chicago I’d love to know how you manage to pay almost nothing for shipments, my Itachi from amiami was going to be $250 for shipping alone
@@taliban223ms3 I actually didn’t start preordering until recently (like one year ago) so a lot of my figures came from other people in the USA (meaning low shipping rates). When I started to get into using Amiami before the yen fell and when airmail was still suspended, I was using surface mail if DHL/EMS was too high.
Now that the yen has fallen and airmail is back, I’ve just been using airmail which runs me like $40 for 2 scale figures in one box (or $45 for one 1/4 bunny in one box). It also helps that I don’t order really big figures. I’m strictly talking about Amiami for this section since I mostly only use them.
AmazonJP also has some really good shipping rates in general (especially during the preorder period for 1/4 bunnies).
I am in Louisiana if that helps any.
Okita with minimal hair actually looks kinda dope
Instant Subscribe by the color grading of the video and the extreme beautiful shots
and for Fate's stuff of course
The MegaHouse GEM Itachi was 17000 yen for EMS, and 34000 for DHL. The figure was 38,000 yen. Shipping is killer if you’re a collector. That was just one of my many figures this month. I have eStreams Neon-City Rem and Ram coming soon, on top of some Native preorders due out soon.
That Itachi w LED base was only slightly bigger than my 2nd biggest shipment from amiami but it was like 4x more expensive . First time I used EMS but it only took like 6 days so it was well worth it
Great video dude! She’s definitely a favorite for me in FGO.
That shipping cost is garbage.
I need to grab those Yurucamp shirts/hoodies.
The hybrid solution is the cut the artwork cover of the box and fold the rest behind the cover art.
Bunch of new figures up for preorder and i had to made sure to use your aff link for TOM since I always look forward to your vids :D
Appreciated!
Still love the video despite not having the cinematic unboxing segment. That barely lit light background really helps to display it dramatically and making sure the figure itself shine more beautifully. Great as always.
Damn, I recently bought Jeanne d'Arc Alter dress ver. figure. Guess I need to start saving again for this one.
cant even imagine those who would throw out their figure boxes
nice vid! i also wish the base was a bit more creative, but the blade and hair look great
Statues are too expensive... But then again I'm not an avid collector of statues.
I like the figure, my only fate figures I have pre ordered is the Mordred figure, and Jean Alter re run by ALTER
I got my Hoshiguma figure an hour ago and damb she's gorgeous Furyu absolutely knocked it out of the park
Oh boi getting me excited lol, shes coming in tommorow for me
@@KenKen004 nice👍her box is surprisingly small as well that was a pleasant surprise too
I can't wait for her! She looks amazing. Sadly, I was forced to ship her via surface mail due DHL stupid price for shipping RIP.
Thanks God I dont have to worry about shipping cost, we have many local sellers here in my country
This is dope.
And so is the Kama Assassin figure too.
For example...
I didn't know Kama's second Ascension dress is open on the back... She looks like she's wearing a bikini. All this time I thought nit was the most modest older Kama Assassin outfit...
I have it, and she's massive. I'm worried about the long flimsy sword that it'll bend over time. When I unboxed it I thought her hair that needs to be attached was another figure.
hey rll nice video, congrats.
Btw which fukashigi no karte remix did u used on the background?
I got her off Good Smile. Her base price was higher, with basically no "discount", at 24800 yen. But somehow shipping was only 2000 yen... and it was air mail (you don't get to choose method, I thought it'd be sea, but it turned out to be air, got it like 2 days later and I was quite surprised)
So overall... better price than most places due to how expensive shipping is.
There is actually a tad of a story on shipping. I originally bought her off nin-nin, with a lower base price and an actually reasonable amount of shipping cost (sea mail though). Then, prior to release, they informed me that additional shipping is required. Which isn't entirely unreasonable given that shipping cost *is* going up but... It lead me to look elsewhere just in case (and I found the GSC). Thing is, nin-nin required paying up front, and I ordered her before the yen dive, so the refund ended up being more than what paid for GSC, it would in fact be more than what I would need to pay for nin-nin with the increased shipping if converted back to yen. I guess... they aren't very good at math or something when they asked for more money. In any case, contrary to some posts I've seen in places, the refund did go smoothly, money went back to my account quickly.
Saw this figure available in stock on an trusted shop a while back. The photo did her so dirty I pass it up. Guess it's time to save up
I been waiting this figure but I always see something else I want when I go shopping. Always love your videos keep it up ❤
Aside from obvious cost savings lol, I want to say the other reason they went with a plain black base is a nod to her NP animation where the space around her is entirely black as she does her skid right before the area turns to white
you do make a good point haha still kinda boring tho LOL
Looking forward to your Nian and Ningguang figure videos 😍
I always use proxy services when I want to ship things from japan. Have packages delivered to the service’s address in japan and they would help you ship them overseas. I live in HK and the one I use only charges by weight (around $3 usd per lb) without additional handling fee so it’s a much cheaper option.
Are those trustworthy?
In conclusion, DHL is a ripoff and they suck.
Ems soon trust!1!!1
im thinking pick this up soon
I would highly suggest shipping it to a mail forwarding service in America if you want the other shipping options. You can pick it up yourself if you send it to a city close to you, or pick a forwarder that does deliveries.
Good video👍🏼.. funny I just recently had to throw out my boxes I just got tired of seeing 92 boxes in my space looks much cleaner now lol
And i got almost 200 lool, never getting rid of them though.
@@KenKen004 crazy i mean if you got the space then it’s okay lol
I live in France and DHL is actually one of the better options for me.
The default shipping method most sites use is express postal delivery, which ends up going to a company called Chronopost. This is a company that not only is slow to process packages despite being an express-only delivery company but also has 100% chances of getting your packages checked by customs because they ask you for a 21€ administration fee for clearing it on delivery. With auto VAT (country + European) on packages checked by customs, you end up with 25%+21€ to pay on top of shipping fees. The worst part is that you need to pay cash on delivery & they don't give change.
It ends up being worse than paying amazon international delivery or DHL.
Whenever I buy anything from Japan and there isn't an option, I pray it doesn't go through Chronopost.
Tu as dit qu'il faut payer cash au moment de la livraison ? J'ai l'impression que les frais de ports sont chers
Amazing video as always hoping to get my Nian figure soon because I am so excited for her
I agree. Wish they did more with her base. That ridiculous shipping fee tho 😅 pain
You have no idea on how much I want that figure, someday I will make it mine.
I love these videos and the cinematography. I was wondering what is the camera you currently use?
I dont exactly collect figures but for some reason I find your videos really interesting!
That is a LONG ASS FUCKING NAME! It's the Fate series so its spot on but holly shit.
Had to change from DHL shipping to EMS. Last time DHL took me from behind with no lube. smh.
Can’t wait for next year to see how much shipping will be for Freeing New Jersey.
I can definitely wait for that lmao
trails music makes any video better
This one looks neat! 🤔 Got her Summer Version scale figure. Hair is also separated and putting her together’s a little bit of a challenge since she’s supposed to be flying 😂
this is why i order in a GSC partner shop in our country instead of ordering directly from GSC, to save shipping cost
although ik that there are some items that are limited, especially since they put stickers like "sales outside japan only" on some products
Release also takes longer in other countries
You'd think in a sword fight she'd lose big chunks of hair being cut off as it flops around.
What province in Canada do you live for it to be that expensive? Have ordered stuff from them before (may 2022) and it was no where near 270$ worth of shipping for 1 single figure, got a big one coming in December and I'm slightly worried since I live in Canada as well and don't wish to pay more than what the total cost of the figures I've got coming are
I was glad to take advantage of the yen being so low i picked up the megahouse Itachi susano w LED base which I was already expecting to be my most expensive shipping but I didn’t expect DHL to cost the same as the figure. Box was incredibly massive but I’m glad EMS was available saved me at least $100
I really wanted this figure when it was shown. As a fellow waster of money of figurines I have no regerts.
what do you think is better between (Alter Ego/Okita Souji Absolute Blade: Endless Three Stage) or the (Assassin/Okita J Souji) thank you in advance.
Rip to all NA ordering from AmiAmi with DHL shipping increasing this month smh, well mostly for Canadians cuz we still have only DHL
Been meaning to cop this ever since I saw it a year ago, I just kept forgetting and newer figures kept getting my attention. Hopefully it's its still up for sale
posted some links in the description, should still be up
@@KenKen004 yep, saw the links after commenting and immediately bought. I ain't waiting anymore
2:48 Weapon name correction, Nodachi.
Katana were never that long.
Seppy boy sword is also a nodachi.
thanks
@@KenKen004 I may not be able to remember various dere or anime super powers like others but at least I know weapons.
Don't give up KenKen
KenKen whats your record on figurine delays ? For me this figurine i order on agustus 20 2020 arrived at agustus 21 2022 exactly 2 year
I'm glad I live in Aus. Shipping isnt that much for me from Japan. 27k yen is crazy.
the base makes me sad they could have done the cracked ground with her feet digging in the grooves with the flame effects
Exactly what i was thinking
Dang, I really thought we were past the meme of international shipping costing more than the product. But imo for Okita Alter its worth (RIP wallet)
I’m still waiting for my phat Hokusai 😭😭😭
Got that one in, have yet to open it, hope it turned out good
Can’t wait to spend over more than 100$ for the Skadi figure from Arknights
Wow that is a lot for shipping. The figure is priced as they are but holy fucking hell that is soooooo much for shipping! The only Fate figures I am getting is Illya. Nothing but Illya :D
Bought Belfast from HLJ. 21800 yen for her and 8060 yen ems to the UK.
I think it was not bad.
Then I bought Okita from Amiami was 20560 yen ems cost 11400 yen to UK at 20k for her nice figure it's pretty nice.
HLJ also copied the same pricing by putting a sale on their postage but was too late as I bought the amiami one already.
In the other hand, I checked FedEx and dhl pricing and yes they arrive fast but they were at 25-30k yen. Crazy.
But yeah, postage aside.
Is Okita alter worth it?
DEFINITELY.
As for really big boxes or some figures I wanted. I had to pass cause the delivery gets crazy prices. Unless I really want them.
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH FATE MERCH 😭😭😭
Damn my dude you have some highly cultured figures in that opening shot. Can you show off your whole collection? How do you decide what to buy? Where to shop?
have a few room tour videos up, and also another video dedicated to just showing the figures. regarding on where to buy stuff, there i made a video about that as well, but you can just check the description. has two stores id recommend.
she's literally the best FGO girl ever, besto chocolate
was supposed to buy from amiami but also saw the shipping, was not willing to pay a second figure in shipping.
I can feel you man... I bought the Ningguang figure and the shipping costs doubled the prize >.
Wow, don't you have access to Good Smile US or international. I just received my Zero Two for my darling from Good Smile US and it was about the same size box and i paid a whopping $7 shipping.
Oh I’ve been thinking about getting this. But if you think that shipping is bad, I’ll be paying over $750 for my Prime1 Guts statue, and all the rest of my resins were at least $375, so figure shipping prices are cheap to me haha.
Damn bill gates!
That’s like 2-4 massive boxes I bet
I know the pain of the shipping haha wanted to buy the Yukata version of Honolulu and the price of the figure wasn’t that bad like 24k yen but man the shipping with DHL was 18k yen was the first time I have to pay that much for a shipping but fortunately EMS is available in my country so i ended paying 11k which Is still expensive haha but hey hope the figure is worth it
I’ve recently got into anime figures, and I had to ask: Where do you find updates on new figures? And how do you keep up with them?
Ugh, my condolences on that shipping cost, oof... I ordered directly from GSC, so had another issue; they charged her price pre-yen value drop. So, while shipping didn't murder me, I paid basically $240 for her anyway... *sigh
The yen seems like it’s just dropping every single day now
night and day difference when compared to the one made by Aquamarine.
Visually she looks amazing and cool . Ive had the Figma ver. of her there are a few problems posing due to her massive hair connected to the Head and the Feat that cant stand properly on its own
Others watching the figure while legends are busy finding out the cultural stuff in the back ground 😂
what is that okita alter wallpaper at @1:20
The way I see it, you pay for the box, they decorate the shit out of it
I got her too and her box getting a box surprised me. I was so worried where I put her. Also didn’t you have a video about what vns you have? Got through muv luv and was looking for what to read next😅
i do have a video recommending 5 visual novels but if you've played those already id say try Baldr Sky or subahibi
Looks so damn good :) For my location DHL is a lot cheaper than EMS 90% of the time so I might look into picking this up.
That’s something I noticed on all my recent orders my DHL would be slightly less, then I ordered the GEM Itachi and DHL was $250 almost as much as the figure I was shocked asl😂 I used EMS for first time instead it was barely more than 100
loved the video, keep up the quality
Thanks ✌️
oh no... I cancelled this preorder a while ago and have been low key regretting it ever since... problem is I don't have almost any space left, either for the figure or for the box 😭 so torn...
The pictures on AmiAmi show her with support poles for her hair. Did they come with the figure or did they solve the hair droop after prototyping?
They either solved it or decided they didn't need it. Doesnt have it on the instructions nor included in the box so lol
Hey ken, what do you do for a living?
I have a question. I'm planning to sell my FSN Saber Triumphant Excalibur and FSN Saber Royal Dress just to buy this figure do you think its worth it? Since i really love this Okita Alter at the same time i kinda don't want to sell my Saber Triumphant. What do you think?
I have those two, and imo i wouldn't do it xD id just try and save up the money and then get okita, so you can keep the figures lol but thats just what id do
@@KenKen004 well there's a problem, it only have 1 stock and I don't think i can make that much money immediately.
Rip
no amount is too much for BEST GIRLLLLL! tho to be fair 2x the price for shipping is painful
that shipping price is fucking nuts
DHL the biggest earners here instead of amiami lmfao
I had this exact same situation with Ningguang from Genshin Impact 😩 She was 30k yen and her shipping for me was 21k yen 😭 The blow was little "impactfull" (really, no pun intended) because I knew she would be expensive and saved some money for her, but still 21k yen??? 😔😔 Bruh...
Rip 🙏, i only had to pay 14k for ningguangs shipping, i was honestly expecting it to be way worse
Yeah I was going to order an Emilia figure, it alone costed 36k yen?
But the shipping was close to 20k so I just decided to cancel
Bro what? Ive always used dhl and never paid over 50$ for shipping 200$+ for shipping this holy crap
Yeah welcome to my life lmao
I feel for you man all my scales shippin were reasonable and im also in Canada
Sir, do u buy ijn azuma azur lane from alter ? If u buy i will buy too 😂
How big her box compare to 1/7 Jeanne d'arc (Alter) by Alter
I just got my first ever anime scale figures. I'm glad my country has EMS. Otherwise, I won't be able to get them
That's nuts, I've had resin statues shipped for less >.< rip Canadians
It's real rough, im hoping that when japan opens up, ems will come back to canada lmao
I got this figure too but haven’t opened it yet.
Totally underestimated its size when preordering🙈🙈🙈 The box is huge and the figure itself is not small either. I still can’t find a place for it…😢
Just from the hair and the sword i knew she was gonna be big haha
@@KenKen004 Lesson learned😌
Majin-san Daishori!
Still waiting for the Surtr scale (My first scale so im pretty excited)
Nice! Cant wait for her as well
kusso! now i really want to get it myself! since yen is dropping~ jackpot! hahaha
Oof the shipping price.
yup definitely overkill
You sound a bit sick. Get well soon
Something something awesome beam!!!!
Majin-san daishouri~
Holy shhhhh, I buy stuff from Japan all the time and max I ever paid was like 40$ for shipping but you got robbed.
Literally got this same figure today.
👍 keep bein awesome Ken ken
I want this so bad shipping can get me up to 480 usd but I would get it nonetheless
