DEAD on Preorder Day 1: Union Creative's TACCO Art Figure

When you try an anime figure based on an original artwork for 25,000yen, but a competitor offers a similar figure for less than one third of your asking price - that is the situation Union Creative has gotten themselves in in this week's anime figure preorders. This week is full of bunny suit anime figures, for some reason. On the third party resin figure side, you get the usual - Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd, Nier Automata, and all the popular game titles. Which figure will you preorder this week?
Disclaimer: The statement in the early parts of this video - on how artists only receive 5% commission when their artwork is licensed into an anime figure is not based on facts, and solely made up for comedic purposes.

The diss against Union Creative in the beginng made me laugh so hard 🤣

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

They have probably my favourite line of figures, the To Love-Ru Darkness line, I have them all. They’re not the best figures you can buy but I love everything about them.

[@nameinvalid69]

Props --- yeah... I really wish there is some company have a PROP ONLY category.... why is no body making scaled prop 1/8 to 1/6????????? Not just for photography, it's also very useful to make personal display more interesting.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

25:37 I really like Frieren, I read the manga & it’s an extremely well written story, there is more action towards the end of the anime.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

39:06 Oh nooooo!! Why does that have to be a futa? The face is so cute, if it wasn’t a futa I’d buy that solely for that face.

[@あかさたな-v5d]

Two B by Imagination studio caught my eyes. But the right price and size haven’t been released yet. I’ll wait for announcement.

[@Nerv987]

The Rose figure I like the Bear Panda one the best. I have heard that the prototype has a leaning issue so that is a problem. Hopefully it can be fixed before release, but I wouldn't preorder one and wait till it comes out and see before I get one. If fixed and can still get it at that after release then I would.

[@suhben]

I saw a post about that on Reddit; the lean was atrocious. I’m steering clear from cheap Chinese figures balancing on a single foot going forward

[@Nerv987]

@@suhben I still have hope. Its still a prototype figure so can still be fixed, but just showing it off if its that bad does have me worried. Its not something I would preorder, I'll wait till after it comes out and see what people say then get it if fixed.

[@sasamiadachi]

Your detailed breakdown of Rose's thigh truly fascinated me. 3x the right thigh + PVC tail, 3x the price? (￣ω￣;)

[@EXkurogane]

Thigh enthusiast here bro

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

30:09 Infinity Studio isn’t part of Prime1 is it, Infinity Studio is a different company that usually makes resin statues, they do a lot of Marvel statues, including those big $5k silicone lifesize busts that I hate. Prisma Wing is Prime1’s PVC figure department.

[@rodri30arg]

The Bastet figure by PURE has the tights welded?? 😢 7:54

[@hokustronk64]

Huh ur right. How could they make a loli character with thighs that filled in? >: (

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

32:45 Is it “Jellyfish Can’t Swim at Night”?

[@franzbugtong2327]

bro is an onichichi enjoyer

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

8:02 Oh yea, this figure really appeals to me, she’s so nice, wow. That 1/6 is calling to me. The only thing I don’t like is the sculpt of her booba when she’s cast off. She’s ¥2,500 more expensive on AmiAmi.

[@PettheW]

Infinity Studio has nothing to do with P1 ,the only P1 figure line is PrismaWing from what I know.

[@timthirsty3816]

Should I buy New Jersey wedding figure from azur lane? I think the aftermarket price will go up and apex is supposedly selling it in few quantities which I believe makes it a must buy but again I dont like the character that much and she's kind of expensive but I really like her XD face. What should I do in your opinion?

[@EXkurogane]

The one that goes for over 40k yen? That is one of VERY few figures that i have a preorder placed on.

[@timthirsty3816]

@@EXkurogane yep that one

[@charlestonjew7587]

I love the face on that Daiki Kemomimi Maid but the rest of her is 'mid'. She'll be an aftermarket consideration if the price is right.

[@Firemaster128]

nice skit at the star haha

[@ExiledGundam]

Actually the fur is more expensive. The pvc tail you just make the mold one time, then can reuse it quite a lot of time (until the mold degrade, but usually after thousands of uses). But the fur you really need more manual work, which contributed to the higher cost. It's the same as including stitched fabric with a figure.

[@EXkurogane]

I see the furry tail as no different from furry accessories you see in some straps or keychains, which cost like a few cents each when mass produced in China. That's why i think it's cheaper to do that.

[@Nerv987]

@@EXkurogane I think having a furry tale like that makes the figure stand out and look so much better if done right. I just worry about quality and how well that holds up over time. I've seen other figures do stuff like this before, but has never been anything I've had interest in so don't really know anything about it.

[@Ozai75]

Unfortunately I don't think they have a whole lot to worry about, considering the Bear Panda one is already leaning. Their prototype has a 15-20% lean already. So unless Bear Panda fixes that issue fast, Union Creative (Despite being way over priced) won't have to worry much. And if you want proof it's one of the top posts on the /r/animefigures subreddit.

[@EXkurogane]

I saw that post. I wouldn't be too worried because that is just a prototype. And also, the titles i come up with for my videos are hyperboles on purpose lol. No, Union Creative's figure won't be dead, just that it'll sell way less than BearPanda version.

[@Ozai75]

@@EXkurogane That much I agree. And I've heard that Bear Panda's really good with taking feedback and making adjustments. I'm glad that Chinese companies are really starting to show up their Japanese counterparts. Lets hope they pull the prices downwards, instead of following Mytheos and raising them.

[@Nerv987]

@@Ozai75 I really do hope it gets fixed, I like the figure and the price is really good. As far as prices of other figures I do agree that it has started to get a bit out of control. Only thing really saving it is the Yen to USD exchange rates, but even that might not help if they keep going up. I don't really see prices coming down for most figures tho unless they can start doing figures from newer / bigger shows, but original's I could see it happening. It has made me be a lot more picky about what I get.

[@Ozai75]

@@Nerv987 Or waiting until after preorders. I want the 1/4 Kashino something awful, but I'm terrified it'll end up being cut in half in price when it's released.

[@j-frame]

I have my eye on 3 GK figures

[@Reuizi]

25:41 ohhhh HELL YEAH my NAKAMA ! , i did not watch Spice and Wolf bcos of the same reason why did not watch Frieren ( i dont even finish ep1), its SLOW AF . i do watch SnW when it first came out, but to watch it again???? why ???? .

[@franzbugtong2327]

21:36 nice i thought i was the only one who thought her thighs werent symmetrically rthicc

[@Laevateinn-]

[x] Touch fluffy tail.

5:13 I prefer bare leg bunnies so much more than tights, but I seem to be in the minority with this.

Ayo is that what I think it is? 💀
