Anime Figures in 2023!

[@Toonie]

Your January is more than my entire year

[@sleepingduird9539]

Did you put in that overtime?

[@evobsm2328]

Thats more than my entire collection

[@VanjaTrikic]

more then my entire life

[@evobsm2328]

@@VanjaTrikic but you know what they always say? Its not about the quantity but the quality and the history behind the purchase and your love for said series! I buy my figurines at conventions. I rarely buy them online. It makes you feel more connected and you have a lot more fun when buying them!

AND now i have a figure for july...damnit lmao Edit - i messed up on Artoria from estreams price in USD LMAO goddamnit, always atleast one typo, could be more. My Apologies

[@pancakeloser]

I'm personally super excited for Good smile Company's Hatsune Miku Gao Shan Liu Shui Ver., it's so elegant and luckily it's my only figure for OCtober so hopefully the shipping won't be too bad lol

[@kaze-xo]

It's always refreshing to see Japanese anime characters getting some Chinese costume, Hatsune Miku had a couple of other figures wearing Qi Pao which were pretty nice too

[@taigaaisaka6305]

After all the delays, I have 12 POs this month. I was fairly sure half of those would be delayed, but 4 of those, Silver Ash, Ifrit, Toga and Eris, are confirmed to being released next week, so now I'm panicking. Those 4 were ones I was 99.9% sure were going to be delayed, but here we are. Now I'm praying that a few of the others do get delayed, like Phat Roxy, they are the kings of delays so please, don't let me down Phat! Mimeyoi Bache and Duke of York seem likely candidates for another delay, but who knows. Moderoid Valimar, Stronger Illya, Vertex Priscilla and Surtr are a coin toss and lastly, GSC Marine, but thankfully I paid for this one fully in November during TOM Blackfriday Sale and it was a steal: 176$ total with EMS shipping, so fingers crossed this one doesn't get delayed lol.

[@marielcarey4288]

I also got SilverAsh Yorks Bise, first and probably only figure of mine, so excited to get it. It's been so long waiting.

[@JoshDLeon]

Last year I got a new figure for every month so I’ll definitely be going for quality over quantity this year. The ones Im looking forward to the most are Alter’s Summer Lambda and the bare legged bunny Chiyo and Mamako in the second half of the year

[@christiantoledo8448]

I'm really excited for the Code Geass C.C. Britannia Outfit Version by Megahouse. I hope they re-release the Re;surrection Pilot Suit version of her some day. 😊

[@user-Jay178]

So many good figures coming out, my wallet is already dead from last year lol. Love your content Ken.

[@adamastus56]

So many good Arknights figures this year. Had pretty much all of them pre-ordered except Ifrit and Eyja, and still praying that Amiami gets the Skadi Alter figure 🙏

[@riosqaartworks]

I am most exited for the NANA 1/8 figures from Hobby Max. Never thought I'd see the day where that series got attention from a figure manufactorer. This will be my first figure that has real stockings as well

[@cadence_la]

i'm so excited for Schwarz. i mean, my wallet isn't, but it'll be ok. 💀 Apex and Myethos doing some great things for figures in terms of quality and more affordable prices. i think some Myethos figures have gone up a little in price but in comparison, i feel other manufacturers would have priced what Myethos is doing way more so it's not as bad in my head lol. but speaking of Myethos, the other figure i'm super excited for is Time Compass. looking forward to it so much 😭

[@yinlu3610]

I missed out on ordering Schwarz on AmiAmi, do you think AmiAmi might reopen that Schwarz figure at some point?

[@cadence_la]

@@yinlu3610 i'm almost certain preorders will reopen. as it gets closer to release or every time it gets delayed, if it does, people will cancel. the cost for schwarz is a lot and some may not be able to handle it for whatever month it gets released. i usually keep things bookmarked and check every day ish if there's something i missed PO for to see if it reopens bc of someone's cancellation

[@Tibruk64]

Really want a Akane bunny to be released. Looking very forward to Bremerton and Surtr this year.

[@jamesgomez3455]

2023 has wayyy too many banger figures. Azure lane has so many good waifu figures I’m tempted to order and I don’t even know the series 😭

[@KenKen004]

My rule of thumb is to never buy merch from series you aren't invested into or heavily familar with, good way to save money and not get tempted lol but i can see how you feel

[@fabio.contu89]

Glad to hear someone ordered so much Azur Lane :) my pre-orders are 90% AL stuff... great year for me, terrible year for my savings!

[@williamfeeney257]

There are other figures besides Azur Lane ones heh

[@fabio.contu89]

@@williamfeeney257 I don't believe you, Azur Lane has clearly the monopoly on Figures 😊

[@yalo3162]

I don't even play Azur Lane, but their figures are godly, so here I am buying them lol.

[@kevynlub2655]

W sponsor transition

[@nate3315]

You have a lot of Arknights and Azur Lane there and so many in the 30kyen range. Figure prices have been going nuclear lately so if possible I try not support figures in around the 30k+ range unless they look truly worth it in terms of complexity and scale and I really really need them! Note for everyone but just remember if you cancel figures on Amiami or most places they may close your account so always think twice, budget and plan so some extent before ordering. I think most collectors have had a rough time last few months with all the figures delayed until end of 2022 and early 2023.

[@Jayniro]

Thought I'd bring it up since you're getting Genshin figurines, but definitely check out the Honkai figurines coming out this year, ESPECIALLY the updated design for Herrscher of Flamescion. The past Honkai figurines have been awesome as well especially Herrscher of Thunder and Herrscher of the Void. Also Aether and Lumine figurines?

[@KenKen004]

I dont play honkai so i dont buy figures from it but they definitely got some real nice ones!

[@RenKohana]

I also preordered Agir (light version). Super excited for her! I didn't know there was a "heavy version" on the Japanese AmiAmi. It looks amazing! But I agree, it's massive. And unfortunately, space is a luxury. That, and it's 126,000JYP.

[@syeco49]

I already Pre-ordered 1/7 Makise Kurisu the day they announced, can't wait!

[@KenKen004]

Definitely gonna be THE kurisu figure to get if she looks as good as she does in the promos!

[@alestar4724]

Looking forward to the scale figures for Shimarin and Chen (Arknights). Also waiting on Alter Skadi. Great videos as always. Really dig the transitions with information.

[@slemmadesu]

I had only ever bought second hand prize figures before, but god have mercy I couldn't resist that Race Queen Taihou. I impulse ordered her for ¥45k. I think she'll be worth it tho, it's for sure one of the most beautiful figures I've seen!

[@Pulpxx]

Been following the creation of the VSK-94 from Girls Frontline figure for 3 years now, it comes out this December and it looks super sexy seeing the fully painted photo shots. I seriously can't wait.

[@ElitePortraits]

Its kind of ironic living here in japan and not having a single one of these figures or any of them in general taking in consideration that my room in Spain was full of figures and stuff from japan, now i just go to the store and take photos of them, but pretty sure ill buy something to my friends when i come back for holidays.

[@Agent40infinity]

From my understanding New Jersey's bunny is the biggest bunny yet, height is 40cm while half her body is still bent over and she's 50cm in width and 32cm in depth.

[@harveydent706]

1 _ how can you afford all these figures 2_ what do you do with these figures 3_ how do you find the time to actually keep up with the lore of so many animes and games

[@gachayuri6064]

I'm going to rant a bit. I ordered a Ningguang figure off of Amazon back in November and it should've arrived on Decemper 28th. It got delayed until January 3rd, Fine, whatever. It still hasn't shown up. Now as of today it is saying it is lost in the mail. The seller of the figure said that if I want a refund of the figure I need to wait for the package to arrive then ask for a refund WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE BUT WHATEVER! sorry I'm just kinda ticked off because the money I got to afford the figure was from my brother for my birthday last year.

[@KenKen004]

Rip, i dont personally order off amazon but that sounds pretty bad

[@thehnoskos]

I couldn't get Taihou pre-ordered in time. I have Prince of Wales and Duke of York is coming soon. Hoping I can get her on the aftermarket without a huge markup.

[@ivy5554]

Shipping prices are getting so out of control, my December AmiAmi order was a hard reality check 🥲. I canceled a bunch of stuff, moved some to GSCUS that was still available to PO and paid for a few others up front on Meccha Japan. I think I'm down to maybe 8 scales this year too but a ton of nendoroids (which is fine with me honestly because I'm low on space and love nendoroids cute chibi style). August is the only concern now but I cant imagine everything scheduled for that month is actually coming out. 🤞😅 I think I'm most excited for the Megahouse Sakuyamon figure and re-release of the Kotobukiya Lillie and Cosmog figure.💕

[@turbosnail6119]

Shipping sucks right now. AmiAmi charged me $90 for Belfast Oath last month. I know it's a big box, but like... $90? What the hell. Every other order I've done with them has been at most $55 shipping

[@ZaneTheDragonMaster]

My biggest and most expensive figure for the year will be MX-Chan. :3 I just started collecting last year (mainly RWBY stuff and Nens!). She will be my first scale figure so I’m both hype and scared. XD

[@KenKen004]

Danm very thicc choice, i would order it myself but i dont normally buy original character figures.

[@starwolf7365]

ooooh. That Agir full equipment is massive... I'll take the light version thanks.

[@Heizaki]

Already done my pre-orders on most of the AK figures ☺lookin forward on Surtr and Schwarz the most. We eatin good this year fr. As for the rest of the budget 😅gon' be using em on the upcoming banner lol

[@GuardianEPlays]

Stacked preorders! The year of Azur Lane indeed. I have pretty much all of your picks also preordered. RIP wallet. Killer selection here and great taste as usual. Can't wait to see your showcases! Apex recently announced preorders will go live for their Baltimore Race Queen 1/7 scale on the 15th. I'm torn between going for that or waiting on Mimeyoi's 1/4 scale.

[@Frostea]

1/7 Baltimore is probably a safer bet in terms of space. Can't imagine how big the flag would be in 1/4.

[@nekro_nemesis]

Kuriru is definately a must get. Also +1000pts for the Persona Music :)

[@pookyuni]

The only preorders I have this year is Marin Kitagawa's nendoroid in March and the 15th anniversary Miku figure in December

[@TheGeorgiio]

Do you watch and/or play all things related to the character you are buying a figure of? Or do you buy figures you like, even though you don't know the character or their origin content?

[@KenKen004]

I dont buy characters from anime or games i havent watched or played, seems like a waste of money for me if i did that so anything i do buy is from anime or games i really like lol big reason why i dont buy original character figures .

[@EpyonRules]

7:19 "I like the tanned skin." Truly, a man of culture!

[@MagiTacti]

Im probably the only one excited for this, but im very hyped for the ViVignette "Burn the Witch" Ninny Sprangcole Union Creative figure thats slated for Dec 2023 Dont sleep on it!

[@AriaMasterofChaldea]

With so many figures coming, I personally am excited for the Fire Emblem Three Houses figures: Dimitri, Edelgard, Claude. But they all got delayed till February and March on my side 🥲 I'm also excited for some Punishing Gray Raven and Hatsune Miku ones

[@Penguin_Tree]

All these arknight figures, still waiting for Haze. Id be very happy with just the default look and pose, just love her look

[@MazDconDecepticon]

Thanks Rin for explaining Buyee

[@turbosnail6119]

I've got 10 figures on PO right now, might become 12 in a day or two lol. But if I get those two to make it 12, I'm tapped out for this year. Absolutely no more unless it's a prize figure or nendoroid. In April, I've got 3 prize figures (The RWBY girls minus Ruby herself by Goodsmile) and they're already paid for. One, Yang, is actually a christmas present for my friend, he knows bout it and agreed that it would count for last Christmas as I didn't get him anything due to it. Then I don't have anything until August, besides Otakon 2023 in July, and then pain starts. August, I have 3 figures, one from Solaris (Nino Nakano Date version by Goodsmile, already paid for), and two from AmiAmi, those being Graceful Beauty Emilia (Kadokawa) and an OC, Bien/Miyan (Neonmax). Debating cancelling Bien because she's an OC and as beautiful as she is, I just don't have any connection to her compared to other characters ya know? I say that but one of the two that I'm debating on PO'ing is also an OC and releases in August, Bunny Lume by Lovely? Hobby Sakura? Idk, AmiAmi has two brands listed. Then September hits with Aniplex Marin and PHAT Sundress Utaha. October has APEX Miss Pink Elysia and then December, in that same Solaris order as Nino so already paid for, is Itsuki's date figure. The last figure of the two I haven't PO'd yet is Star Guardian Ahri by Goodsmile Shanghai, it literally just went up last night. I'm a League player, Ahri's been my main for 8 years, she's a guaranteed PO, just gotta figure out how to budget for her lol. Honestly, if I cancel the OC figure, I might just use that budget to get the Yor and Marin nendoroids + some prize figures of other characters I like. I have a checklist of favorite characters that I want at least one figure of. I could use that budget to pay for the Ahri figure yes, but also I'm greedy and dumb.

[@BoredkidzProduction]

I've seen the prototype for Bunny Neru and I've been dying to place a preorder for her. so far the only blue archive figure i have preordered is Swimsuit Iori

[@brokenredflag]

Angelina is gourgeous!! My favoret so far.

[@roboiago]

cannot wait for both asuna and bremerton. had to pre order them immediately when they went up. Excellent video friend.

[@kuro_san032]

Mom, look! I'm in the video lmao. Jokes aside, I live in Malaysia so maybe I got the surtr figure early cuz it's close by with China? Just a guess here lol. Also excited for the schwarz figure. It's gonna look AMAZING. Another figure that I'm looking forward to is Xiao releasing in July, I think? I might buy the Chen one as well but I don't know if my wallet can survive after schwarz and xiao haha.

[@syrianslime6475]

Definitely looking forward to getting my freeing b-style Junko this year Keep up the great vids bro!

[@Symphonixz]

Cool and Informative!!! Subbed, great info!

[@alonso.m26]

Did you see the Fate/Stay Night [Heaven's Feel] Sakura Matou Makiri's Grail Ver. 1/7 from Alter that was just announced?? Pretty good looking figure in my opinion, it's coming out on December I believe, did you pre-order already? :D

[@calweeb1282]

Wow, your pre-orders is massive and amazing! I am planning to preorder the Crow Armburst and Renne Bright figures. I am still thinking whether or not if I can buy the Rixia Mao figure. I am excited for my Valimar Moderoid figure coming soon near my birthday. Thank you so much for your content!

[@Luca-ci9vi]

I'm most exited for Ägir, shes also my only preorder for now.

[@kurosakiichigo6453]

Even if I definetly won't be able to get my fingers on many figures this year, (lots of important stuff going on), at least I can always rely on you and your content xD

[@marielcarey4288]

3:09 I ordered this one. It looks so good, can't wait for it to arrive.

[@ed61730]

Nice list!What do you think of the new ultra premium Fate/Grand Order Lancer/Altria Pendragon coming this year? I'm loving the horse pose

[@cy4n_knight_q8]

My main question is how can you afford all of this. On avarage it could cost more than what a tech buys

[@DTTCReviews]

Damn, your Janurary is packed! 😱 Heads up on the Aniplex figures, you can get most of them from Nin Nin... 😅

[@KenKen004]

I got most of mine before from rightstuf, but id rather just not preorder them at all if they aint on my prefered site of choice lmao i like having everything on one site. Easier for me to remember that way

[@DTTCReviews]

@KenKen haha that makes sense, it gets a little hard to manage with too many sites... 😅

[@brokenredflag]

Dang!, if your happy with this, were gona eat this year. Wohoo!!Nice list. Their all so preatty. I loved angelina omg!

[@TheMiyazakiMan]

Arknights, Azur Lane, Genshin Impact, the holy trinity of Gatcha figures!

[@keefestrong14]

You good sir have found yourself Subscriber I never knew figurines could be this expensive Like looking at those prices have already hurt my wallet and I'm not even buying

[@glazeddonut9494]

With all the figures you have and how much they are all worth I genuinely wonder why you and others I see don’t upgrade your shelving? My figure collection is sitting at around $9,000.00, with I’d say about $3,000.00 on order this year and I felt the need to upgrade to Moducase that will arrive hopefully by June. The constant dusting takes too much time and I’ve had a couple figures get damaged just from the light stress of dusting. I purchased the silver and white SIXTH series which seems perfect for anime figures.

[@KenKen004]

Space and pricing for me i guess, with all the film gear i have and the furniture and shelving i already have, anything bigger would either not fit or would fit if i got rid of the old shelving but might block up too much wall space. I liked having detolfs cuz they looked good and were cheap (well they aint that cheap anymore lmao)

[@AngelicxKaede]

Seems like an expensive year all around haha.Really debating the Myethos Skadi figure...its so much cheaper if its not deluxe, but man the deluxe version looks great.

[@chuckthetrooper]

I have about half of those on PO and have no idea where the hell im going to display all of them! I’m worried I may have to get rid of some to make space

[@ram3n_no0dle]

My wallet when arcueid figures drop just disappears lmao to a great 2023 kenken :3

[@MariNate1016]

Waiting on amiami to send my January invoice as well. Lena, Menou and Eris are my main 3 this month

[@Shinewing167]

I got the formidable figure from Alter. Its amazing! No issues either. Definitely a centerpiece figure ^^

[@KenKen004]

Good to hear! Can't wait for mine lol

[@frostifrosti6373]

mann i wish i got in on that Agir preorder, she looks incredible

[@MiloTheFirst1]

I was thinking, maybe the Zuikaku and Shoukaku figures would look great as a set if you were to place them facing back eachother. specially on a turn table

[@KenKen004]

gotta be a pretty big turn table for TWO 1/4th figures lol plus itd be weird not seeing both of their faces at the same time, but thats just me.

[@MiloTheFirst1]

you are right. I hadn't taught about the size. will have to see what they had in mind

[@xXxJinzxXx]

Really excited for both Kaede Danganronpa figures I have pre-ordered. This year will be more tame than the last because I'm running out of room lol

[@mariogut2299]

January also will be a month which I will spent the most which I’ll also be getting marine and surt figure with a justice nendroid for a friend birthday present

Excited for Mimeyoi's Taihou and can't wait for Takao and Atago to finally be revealed and open for preorder. Been contemplating preordering the ones by Alter (preferably separate as they personally look better individually and can make for more display options) but seeing as their swimsuit versions also got a rerun i'm not too sure which I should go for... As for Max Factory's Karin, i've got my eye on her but i'm honestly more so looking forward to MFC's take on the two bunny gals. All that said, i'm also one of those guys who preordered both versions of Summer BB lol. Couldn't decide on one and can't simp for her hard enough
