5 Anime Figures That I Regret Buying! 😥

[@uhsalt6388]

As another Aussie I totally get the whole “buying it because it’s all I can get” thing. I don’t collect figures but I definitely bought a lot of manga I wasn’t into just because I was able to.

[@edge6116]

I'm from New Zealand i get the same feeling but its harder to fine nice local figures, does anyone know of any New Zealand figure unboxing channels.?

[@starfuckerification]

I’m from Australia as well and i have a small manga collection. And i both understand what you and Her meant. 😅

[@WafflesX3XD]

if you need some help with buying certain items, kaika and anime at abbotsford are my favourite shops down here for anime stuff. kaika has more goods, but the staff at anime at abbotsford are really helpful ^_^ but yeah,, i do impulse buy a lot of manga and art books bc “oh, they have this here? guess i have to get it!” lmao. curse you kinokuniya

[@mioruki]

I felt that

[@leeshapon]

@@edge6116 i know this reply is a little late but Food4dogs is a great NZ unboxing channel!

[@nighteyesiv]

Biggest regret was buying figures at cons before I learned to recognize bootlegs. I have a gnarly Sebastian knock off nendoroid and a scale of Kuroyukihime from Accel World. Can't even sell them because I refuse to put bootlegs back out in the market 😭 I hate that feeling of wanting to love a figure SO much and then just not and staring at it every day trying to convince yourself you love it more than you do. I'm sure you can get a great price for Jeanne when you're ready to part with her!

[@hunternewitt2717]

I just recently got my first nendroid and it was the breath of the wild link one he’s currently displayed by by tv on his horse in kind of a battle styled pose and I love him

[@_coco_5812]

As someone who started collecting a bit more this year these are really good lessons to keep in mind. Nice video as usual! 👏

[@crimsonfists2712]

Gotta say it's more a rule of thumb that the figure is peak in the promotional image, I have had a few rare exceptions to the rule where they came in and it was just like a total wow! moment. Also loved seeing the Mushoku clip with the figure and Roxy's face haha

[@azureblueotaku]

I've never been this early! 😆 I think this video was very insightful and a good lesson for new collectors not too get carried away or give in too much to hype. I'm surprised you were only letting go of a few figures in your big collection so I think there isn't too much regret 😅 Can't wait for your new room tour! Let your creativity run wild~

[@nohelanikh6788]

Can we get an updated room tour since you moved? Love your collection, and your advertisement for your sponsor was hilarious 😂

[@Daijoububu]

Thanks so much! Finally a use for my 1:1 scale Wombat plushie 😂 and room tour coming soon! (When I finally finish unpacking figures D:)

[@saffiemoon4326]

@@Daijoububu Hi. Just wanted to say I love all your videos. They are amazing and got me started figure collecting. Also could you tell me where you got the bunny girl wall tapestry. Sorry for bothering you. Thanks again for all the amazing videos and information you give us on figures.

[@linusgustafsson2629]

My regret purchases are usually "character I love, but figure I don't like the pose/design of" and "pose/design concept I love, but executed poorly". After a while you realize that it is important that you like the whole end product, and not just half of it. I also have some 18+ mature figures that looked great with a huge censor glow spot, but become a bit too obscene in reality. And I also buy way too many tapestry. Even when plastering all my walls, I can't even put up 10% of what I got.

[@chai_burns]

I definitely have some buyer's regrets with some of my cheaper figures; my biggest disappointment was my GSC Lio Fotia breaking and it left me feeling so salty towards GSC for getting a faulty figure. Now I am more careful about buying cheap just to have a "collection". Thankfully though I haven't been disappointed with my pricier figures.

[@himeistrying]

ohhh you baited me really hard with that thumbnail, the toon link nendo was one of my first and is still one of my favorites so I was about to throw hands lol

[@sacredpanda3055]

I recently started collecting figures a few months ago, I am mostly just getting nendoroid characters from shows/games I love! I have sorta branched out getting different types of figures like Pop Up Parade. If work gives me a large bonus one day I’ll perhaps get my first scale figure but not now

[@kamenkards]

I'd buy the Kirusu Statue off of you, the pose is super dynamic and the swappable face is also really cute.

[@farrtlol]

One of the only figures I like better then the prototype is the Yumeko Jabami bunny figure. She looks soooo good in person but she looks kinda derpy in the prototype lol

[@NeonsplashkittyAJ]

I started collecting this April.. I currently have 20 scale figures and 42 figures all together. I did regret like 8 nendos that arent in my collection anymore. But I thats because I realized scale figures are beyond any nendo in my opinion. And honestly I saw a bunch of people preordering new figures coming out and everyone seems so excited about some I just couldnt get behind, If your gut says you dont like it then dont try to force yourself to understand or give in to hype that doesnt make you feel anything period , I understand that. But i totally bought one I didnt care for too much so oops

[@mycatboo3152]

ive just started collecting figured a couple months ago and i feel like some of those lessons are something i should listen to. especially the whole "dont buy figures youre not 100% sure about just because theyre all you can get" one. i work right by the mall in my town and in the mall theres a store that sells a lot of figures so its a store ive found myself going to a lot to see if they have any new figures. the majority of the figures ive bought there i absolutely do *not* regret, and hell i have 7 miku figures now and only 2 of them i didnt buy there, and i love all of them. i love the iroha figure i got there. however, i bought a madoka figure there that i just dont like. i bought her because i love madoka and she was there but upon opening here i was just. *not* impressed. so far that figure is he only one i regret buying. even the *other* madoka figure i bought that i refuse to touch unless absolutely necessary because she falls apart so easily i dont regret buying. i have the first madoka figure on display, but i would not waste a tear putting her away

[@alexamone4321]

Have you ever done a video on the figures that you regret not buying/ your favorite figures in your collection?

[@justanoman6497]

Disliking a figure for space constrict is a problem that many would be envious of. Most of us do not have enough figures for that to be a problem. While I am running out of shelving, I also have plenty of empty room in my room for additional shelving. I like Jalter plenty and did consider buying that one, but decided on the nice big set by Licorne instead. I feel if I'm gonna have one Avenger Jalter(also getting the berserker), it should be a "proper" one. I also considered getting the Shifuku ver. Because I like Salter a lot more and it would have been a nice set(I ship jalter and salter!). But finally decided to pass as I really need to cut back on fate figures. I already have 4 salter (including those that are not here yet).

[@Armyoffreaks123]

Hi! I'm new to your channel and I instantly love it. I agree with you a lot when it comes to mindless collecting since you will regret some of them later on. I'm a gunpla fan and I've already sold lots of kits that I bought when I started.

[@saberphoenix4152]

I want the Jeanne and Astolfo racing figure so bad. 😭

[@AshXXMayftw]

The only figure I've ever regret buying was a Fate Stay Night Archer figma. At this point I hadn't been collecting for that long, maybe a few months back in 2014. But for the $59.99 I paid for it I expected something of equal quality. The overall size of the figure was pretty disappointing, but what really turned me off was how easily his arms would snap out of socket when trying to push the blades into his hands, and they would hardly ever stay in properly. It was so bad that I've never bought another figma since then, even for characters I really wanted.

[@foreal7712]

I regret buying one of the Collector Editions of FFXV that came with the Noctis figure off a scalper on Ebay back in the day. I won the bidding war for about $400. The hinge of the steel case had a slight crack so I was always scared of opening/closing it. And after beating the vanilla game, with all the controversy of it being unfinished, and the price of the game discounted to oblivion I regret bidding for it due to the hype.

[@samuelbourdeau1545]

Thank you for your thoughts 💭

[@kaikanphase]

How you said in your video, Jeanne Alter figure is gorgeous but something seems off. In my case I think it's the dress color. That blue color doesn't match with her hair and base so there are many different colors there. A black dress (like her armor) could be better choice.

[@weirdokate8840]

i only have one "real" figurine from jojo - its jotaro with his stand like half coming out and around him. i dont know if ill ever get really into collecting but if i ever do, itll have to be only characters i really truly love

[@Bane_Amesta]

I remember getting the Sora Play Arts Kai figure, and it was actually fine, but the poor boy had dead fish eyes. The paint job on his eyes was literally terrible and bland as hell. Probably a little dot of white paint would made a huge difference, but it was a long time ago, and I didn't wanted to mess the whole thing out just for a little experiment. I managed to sell him and got my money back, but god it was a difficult choce to make. Also I'm thinking of banning PAK figures from my collection because they're way too stiff to be articulated an I don't see that changing anytime soon. The only exception would be a 2 or 3 old figures that I don't have, but probably never get, thanks for nothing inflation (?) About nendoroids, I sold my Card Captor Sakura nendo, yes, I'm a sinner, but hear me out. She was so pretty, but the accesories and pieces were just too much. I never managed to pose her like in the promo pictures, and in the end it was just a waste of energy, so to speak. So now I avoid nendos lots of pieces of huge dresses, or going for the more articulated ones. Another point is looking for the disney/based on actual people nendos, all of those have the exact same face, which I get it, artistic style, but sometimes is like is one character doing cosplay...

[@taliban223ms3]

I feel like most of us can agree we like all of our figures , there’s just some we wish we paid a bit less for😂😂😂

[@cheebs1754]

I love the evangelion reference in the third time stamp lmao-

[@defaultchan2115]

no bulge on astolfo is a massive oversight

[@T.K.9]

There usually is a criteria that makes me or made me buy a figure. Like for example Azur lane Jean Bart by Wings Co. . I don't even play the mobile game but I played another game that had a collab with it. Hearing her voice overs. Boom fell in love and bought the figure all the way from Japan to UK. I just love it. Same thing for pop up parades Berserk armor. I love the manga and series. But then there are other figures like from Azur Lane that I have not personally saw yet character wise but the price was so good to pass up and the figures do look good. And cause its already in the UK and it is at msrp price without the 50 gbp delivery and 50 gbp customs tax.

Some figures could be better in term's of pose or paint job for example but I buy figures of character's that mean a lot to me so if their figure version is not perfect its not a huge factor for me as most figures are good and bootlegs are of course the worst, something I would never buy.

I would have regret buying any anime figure. No not becuse it´s bad or anything but becuse when plastic/resin figures cost 2-5 times more than my income yeah no. I will never understand why they cost a fortune.

this just sorta cemented the regret i feel for the kotobukiya Edward Elric 1/8 i have on the way. fma is my favorite anime and i already have the Roy from the same set, so it made complete sense to buy Ed as well... except he's already vertically challenged in the show, a 1/8 scale and posed kneeling down. plus his base is inferior to the roy from the same set and a limited alternate version that wasn't reissued :/ maybe i'll like him better in person (although that sentiment's probably missing the point of the video entirely lol)

[@elusnuga]

I am proud to say that it's been 7 years since I started collecting figures and I don't regret buying any of my figures. Well, I do have a pretty small collection. I strictly follow these three rules when it comes to figure collecting: 1- I only buy figures of characters that I love. NO EXCEPTIONS. 2- I don't buy a figure just because it is a character I love. I need to love the look of the figure as well. For example, I like Kurisu a lot, but there isn't a figure of her that I'm completely satisfied with at the moment (just my opinion) 3- Let's say I love the look of a figure and I love the character as well. I still won't buy it if the price is insane. For example, I'd love to own Rin Tohsaka -Unlimited Blade Works- figure from Good Smile Company, but the aftermarket price is just crazy. (fingers crossed it gets a rerelease at some point...)

[@rhaeasoul8531]

Same. Oh those 200$ ones look amazing but for a statue it’s a little difficult for me to swallow so more recently it’s been the pop up parades since I don’t look to closely and they look pretty good for their price.

[@dizzymint277]

As someone with a smaller collection, I love hearing people’s rules for figure buying. It’s a great way to frame my future purchases.

[@Ghost-hr3rq]

I literally bought figures of characters I love but never seen the anime like re zero I'm only on like episode 2-3 but I love the twins so I own figures of them

[@rhaeasoul8531]

I have such a small collection I’ve seen all the anime’s at least once. I don’t even like apocrypha nor am I really a fate fan but I bought astolfo when I saw one in store within my price range. At that point I hadn’t even seen a fate series let alone apocrypha but you gotta love a femboy.

[@greenteadreams5182]

0:23 forget the owned amount, having 96 figures on order is just plain impressive. I look forward to seeing them unboxed on this channel.

[@allysoncygan5110]

As a new figure collector I really appreciate this video! Your reflections on why you regret them and the lessons you've learned are really helpful, especially with regards to characters I love but just don't love the figures.

[@AliciaMc89]

Your point about lying to yourself about liking a figure because you wanted to like it really resonates with me. When I see figures and merch for an anime I love which doesn't seem to have much merch I am so tempted to buy it, but then I really have to consider whether I actually like the item or if there just isn't anything better available to choose from.

[@PerfectMistfit]

I can easily see myself wanting to buy a figure just because I want a new figure. But one thing I always do when I online shop is that unless I it’s a mass rush sale if I like something I wait on buying it. If I still like it after a couple days I’ll buy it but if I forget about it and remember later than it wasn’t meant to be. I also am picky and so there’s a lot of characters I like but if the face ain’t cute idc if their my favorite character I’m not spending $100+. I can spend that on something else.

[@Rhinestoneshark]

Most of the figures I’ve collected as a kid were “figures I buy because I can”… lol

My biggest regret was buying a kencolle nendoriod, watched the anime but wasn’t enough into the series or the character I bought to justify it. Still sealed in the corner of my room 4 years later

[@linusgustafsson2629]

I have plenty of KanColle, but the sad reality is that since there are so many ships, naturally my favorite ships never really got figures so I only really have "Kind of like" characters and not characters I love.

[@pixelpudding3914]

That moment when the character you bought is part of a set (talking to you love live) but you don’t like a character/character’s outfit but now you kinda have to buy it cause it’ll annoy you so much to have one missing and you’re just sitting there like 👁💧👄💧👁

[@neyuse]

One figure I looked into was the native aoba figure because at the time, I didn't have money nor I knew where to get figures so I looked for people seeing it to get an idea of the price and then I saw how the final figure turned out in comparison with the prototype and have never feel to disappointed and betrayed. I admired that figure for years just to find out the downgrade but at first look you don't find those pics, so I'm glad I didn't spend the money because it would have been an instant regret. If there is a thing I have always been picky about figures even before wanting to collect them is the face and hair

[@johnjozefowicz2022]

I clutched my pearls at the Alter figure disappointment

[@AVLadle]

Love the chapter titles 🤣. I also feel the same with the Link BotW nendo but he goes so well with Toon Link I cant split them apart. They're in my nendoroid video if you're curious.

[@Daijoububu]

Yes! Glad someone noticed 🎉 Love toon link's sneaky faceplate too

[@2dreprobate927]

I’ve had a couple of figures that I’ve pre-ordered that when they came, I found that the face was a little messed up, or the base was really bad; basically things you can’t foretell unless you’re buying unboxed figures bc of QC

[@meimeihughes]

I find the Link thing so interesting because toon Link was my first Nenderoid and I actually have a bit of buyer's remorse with him. He didn't come with a lot of pieces and he is difficult to pose. He is with my BotW Link and I feel like he is so out of place. I can never really find a good way to display him like I can my other nenderoids. Windwaker was my favorite game so I want to love him. I also probably won't ever sell him because he has been with me for so long but I wish he wasn't so awkward.

[@alejandroalcazar2258]

I respect your opinion, but my toon link nendoroid is awesome for me!

[@meimeihughes]

@@alejandroalcazar2258 he is awesome, but he is definitely my most awkward nenderoid and he doesn't fit on my shelf well. Like I said I will probably never sell him because I have had him for so long and I am attached to him, but he will always be my black sheep.

[@UltimateSakura64]

I’d have to say that some of the figures I regret buying/spending money trying to get are 3 that I got from Toreba the crane app game. They were a Zero Two, Kaoru, and Joker prize figures. I guess the one I don’t regret getting from there is the Hatsune Miku spring uniform version from Taito since that one’s very cute. Also I’m interested to see if Gwyncollects or Animebae have any regret buys, but I feel like Animebae had some in her 1 hour sorting video. Great video and some of your choices I saw beforehand and some I did not which was interesting. Keep up the great work! ☺️👍

[@elusnuga]

I agree with you about the Kurisu figure so much. Her pose and base is great, but her face is just off... and you didn't mention this, but I think her body proportions are also off. The GSC figure is way better in that regard. I mean, yeah, they made her skinny, but the Wing Kurisu looks too tall and her build just looks kinda masculine to me. She is TINY in the anime. I don't think the Wing figure did a good job on that.

[@johnsbanana9404]

How about a room tour? I would really like to see this))

[@Daijoububu]

[@RickCZ1]

Can you maybe make a video about the selling process of the figures once you find buyers of those figures you don’t want anymore? Like always use PayPal, what site, getting and packing the box, shipping and for how much can we sell them? I have maybe a couple of figures that I would like to sell but I’m worried I would mess something up and lose the figure and not even get the money as I’ve never sent anything to anyone and definitely not outside my country.

[@Msis03]

I am also a big fan of Kurisu, but I just can't get myself to buy any of her figures except for the Freeing B-Style figure which I have on order. The bunny figure looks awesome, but idk... her character in the show has such skinny legs and no butt. I am a little worried the bunny figure just won't capture her essence and I will be left wanting for another more faithful figure.
