Very nice figure 👌. I didn't get a Christmas figure but the only figure i got this month was the Blue Archive Aris maid figure by goodsmile. I love this figure its a simple but very detailed and has an adorable pose that flows very nicely

Great choice! It’s all about the face and details, I really like her pose on the broom and looking closely even the toy at the end of the stick has a lot of attention. I like the squares behind her head though not sure what they are lol

No Wonder barley any germans are painitng Figurines. 200€ for a Figurine that will takes you More then 15h to prep and Paint is just not enough. Plus the Tax you have to Pay for selling or -30%. Great Video, but how does these Painters afford to live

Thanks for watching! Yeh I do wonder, could dig deep into the issue but I have a sad feeling it might lead to cheap labour in Asia… that being said I think the advancement in 3D printing might mean more of these will be done by machines, which could mean lower prices (but also loss of jobs for painters)
@kwk9415Ай бұрын
@otakuoverlordx I mean, the loss of jobs for painters might be a bit strong, because yes, I am lucky that I am already returning customers. So I would say it will get harder to get into the commission business when you can already get good figurines for 200€. So like any business you have to get good and need the skills to get like anything to live in this case.

Big piece of advice when importing into the uk do not mark anything as a GIFT, sadly the uk import threshold for gifts is only £39 as it hasn't been upped in years so by marking it as a gift you woul expose yourself to a higher amount of fees. But great video as always! The reason using amiami points to adjust the price doesn't work is the parcel needs to be insured to full value so you could claim money back if anything went wrong. Also try using Solaris on certain figures as their import slider at checkout can adjust the package value!

Thanks! Great advice! I'd also add that, and this might only apply to US shoppers, but Good Smile US has amazing labor day sales, like 40% off on so many really incredible figures. In general though, AmiAmi is going to be much cheaper most of the year, and even on some figures during the labor day sale. So sometimes, if the price doesn't seem to be budging, it pays to be patient
@otakuoverlordx3 ай бұрын
Thanks! Lucky the US folks have such sales and hopefully majority of collectors are aware. 100% agree with you that patience is key most of the time, just need a strong will and believe the figure won’t get sold out

There’s a lot of fakes on the Chinese websites for Japanese figures and if you go to the right stores in Akihabara you’ll get a decent price that’s close or better than the official Japanese online retailers like AmiAmi, GSC or Solaris Japan. The Chinese figures (APEX Myethos) are worth buying from TaoBao but you’ll have to go via proxy which is inconvenient for the Westerners

+1 on the "don't pre-order" tip if you're really tight on money. I bought 1/8th scale fate lancer alter (third ascension) figure recently for the original price of ~66,000 Yen.. Lo and behold, it is now ~46,000 Yen.... also don't ask how much i paid DHL to ship the damn thing since it's classified as an oversized package thus driving the price up to the moon. ... that being said... i pre-ordered the latest Aegir from Azur Lane a few months ago..... don't follow my bad examples

@@otakuoverlordx I was very tempted to; however, I actually don't have any more real estate to realistically fit more figures. When the Agir figure arrives next year, i m definitely going to be questioning my previous self why I bought it....
