I think prize figures have seen a lot of improvement in recent years. Not long ago I purchased a Taito Miku Puss in Boots Wonderland figure and for the price she's amazing. The sculpt, coloring and quality are excellent. Even the base is really nice. If every prize figure delivered quality like this, I wouldn't hesitate to buy more of them, but, in general, I still prefer scale figures.

[@DTTCReviews]

They'll never fully replace scales for me but I'm impressed with the bang for your buck they provide! 😂

[@KellyAnneMarie]

I never stopped picking up prize figures, it's a nice way to have representation of characters/shows I like but don't want to spend too much on!

[@DTTCReviews]

Facts! I usually do that with nendoroids but maybe I should switch to prize figures instead... 🤔

[@KellyAnneMarie]

@@DTTCReviews I was getting some nendoroids but I find I set them in one position and really never change it so it seems like a waste 😅

[@lin77]

I'm actually surprised how well those prize figures are done

[@DTTCReviews]

Haha a good surprise for once! 🤣

[@bluerookie3819]

I've been collecting for almost 4 years now and have a love hate relationship with prize figures XD I feel like the designs for prize figures tend to be really nice and their price is spot on, but imo their quality just doesn't stand up to the scales in my collection. For example when I pair prize figures with my scales on a shelf they always look odd or out of place. My solution was to keep them separate on their own shelf but I just couldn't shake that they looked different when comparing to the scales, I ended up selling all of them except for two taito mikus as they were gifts and have sentimental value. Overall I think prizes are great especially for people who don't have the income for scales but they just dont do it for me anymore. Love the vids!!!

[@DTTCReviews]

Haha thanks for the support on the videos! 😅 Although I haven't sold off any prize figures I'm tempted in order to make some space... 😆

[@rurikaadachi6405]

I have been "conscientiously" keeping myself away from prize figures, simply because I have "no more room in my room." I keep telling myself: every last inch must be reserved for premium scale figures! With all that said, I can appreciate a good prize figure just like anyone. Taito prize figures are probably my favourite. I notice every time I visit the local figure stores, every prize figure that catches my eye is a Taito. That sleeping Pikachu is so cute! I don't know if it was an impulsive purchase, but I say it is totally worth it! :D

[@DTTCReviews]

Haha I'm usually the same way because display space is at a premium! 😅 Sleeping Pikachu was definitely an impulse buy, but I don't regret it at all! 🤩

[@kirahibiki5070]

For prize figures, I find Relax Time and EXQ from Bandai, Luminasta from Sega, and TTT from Furyu to be the best and well-made line.

[@masanobumaou]

I collected prizes back in the day when I had not much money, a year ago I sold most of them. However there are like 5-6 that I just can't say goodbye to. Like the SEGA SPM Gray or Taito Coreful Kurumi. I really love the Taito Coreful line, their Nanachi figures are amazing now. I bought two and gave up on buying any Nanachi scale ever, thats how good they look.

[@DTTCReviews]

That's a crazy good endorsement! I've seen a few scales of Nanachi floating around but I haven't pulled the trigger because of price so I might try her prize figures instead! Thanks! 😆

[@VitorDesenhando]

I do have few prize figures in my collection and I love them all,but I haven't been collecting them because I decided to be getting only scale figures. But I'll admit that angel Rem is so cute! Also,I remember you had pre-ordered that Bakugo from the S-fire line,so that figure might tell what the quality for the other would be like!

[@DTTCReviews]

The value in these prize figures tho... 🤯 I'm still waiting for my S-Fire Bakugo to arrive! 😭😭😭

[@ladyorlean3550]

As someone who's very limited to space and money, most of my figures are prize figures. I have the Ram and Rem in the penguin hoodie. I'm such a sucker for animal hoodies, just so gorgeous. There's also an Emilia coming up for this set as well. I can't wait. ^^ I am quite happy with the quality of prize figures.

[@DTTCReviews]

Hahaha I don't blame ya because these are so adorable! I think I need the girls in the Puck hoodie too... 🤣

[@noreluss]

Puck rem is very nice 😁

[@Your_Pal_AL]

I was given an FGO prize figure (Furyu noodle stopper Nitocris) as a gift, and was VERY surprised at how nice it looked! I guess it's coz I never expected Prize figures to look even decent but this changed my perception of them😂Since I'm very much an online shopper for figures (buying them instore retail is always way more expensive), I don't get to see the display units very often so I get iffy when buying these. But ngl, I really do like the quality on certain Furyu, Ichiban Kuji, Taito, and Banpresto ones! Hoping I can get some more furyu noodle stoppers in the near future ;D

[@DTTCReviews]

The dreaded prize figure gift! They seem harmless but it only takes one good one and you're hooked! 🤣 It's the same here for our retail stores, I'd love to pick up more but the cost to import directly from the source is just more economical... Here's to more prizes figures entering the collection! 🥳

[@omega592008171980]

Anything with wings I love. This was a great haul thx for sharing! Going to check out that website offer hehe.

[@DTTCReviews]

Haha the angel Rem turned out sooo good! Thanks for the support and happy hunting! 😆

[@Cylver77]

As much as there’s like a million rem and ram prize figures there’s some really good looking ones! Proud to own a good amount in my collection

[@DTTCReviews]

I'd say they hit on a decent amount of them too! 😆

[@noreluss]

Thanks! I just found 3 of them on amiami pre-owned. They are so cute and cheap I couldnt resist . It is very addictive 😂

[@DTTCReviews]

Congrats! Amiami preowned is a godsend! 🤣

[@macaronfox]

I have a few price figures in my collection, mainly of characters that either don't have a scale (yet) or that I just don't like any of the scales of particularly much. I especially love my Nanachi price figure by Taito, she's adorable. Price figures have increased in quality significantly over the years, too. Some of them look really nice!

[@DTTCReviews]

Omg I need a Nanachi in my collection! Maybe I'll look into her prize figures options too... 😆

[@HannibalChau05]

I mainly collect prize figures and order scale figs for my favorite characters. Quality can be an issue, but have been seeing improvements in newer releases. Ichiban kuji are also good figs to collect.

[@DTTCReviews]

Happy to see prize figure qualify improving and some of the new Ichiban Kuji like that Anya are definitely on par with scales! 😆

[@small_world_official]

Not a single Taito figures :( Prize figures ranking: 1. Taito 2. Furyu 3. Ichiban Kuji 4. Banpresto 5. Sega You cant change my mind because thats the only TRUE order.

[@DTTCReviews]

I do have a few from Taito, these were just the options I had to choose from... 😅

[@Cheffish]

Your collection inspired me to get some one piece figures, and i think most prize figures are really good now

[@DTTCReviews]

I'm both happy and terrified for you... 😆 Happy that you're collecting some amazing One Piece figures, but terrified for your wallet... 😉

[@JacobHarina]

As a broke college student, these prize figures served as my gateway into the figure collecting hobby... And with various prize figure powerhouses such as TAiTO and SEGA with their high-quality figure lines such as Luminasta for SEGA and Artist Masterpiece and AMP+ for TAiTO, you can afford to buy a fig for your husbando/waifu without expending an arm and a leg... I gotta recommend TAiTO's AMP+ Mai Sakurajima for you to check out!! Even though its on the more expensive side of prize figures, I think its an absolute banger!! Good video as always 😊😊

[@DTTCReviews]

I'll check out that Mai! I mainly started collecting with scales so I guess I did this backwards... 😅

[@BananaAreKool]

I usually always collect prize figures mainly because they are cheap and pretty good quality for the price. It's nice when it feels like you can buy a lot more figures that are close to the same quality as scales for less than half the price.

[@DTTCReviews]

More is more and I'm guilty of that too... 😅

[@bewd6507]

Oh no… i’ve also told myself no more prize figures since i’m running out of room, but you’re very much tempting me to start getting them again T v T

[@DTTCReviews]

Hehe oh no indeed... 😅 Luckily they aren't that big right?

[@AlcoholAndAnimeNight]

The monster wolf Rem seems like a pretty good value for the size...

[@DTTCReviews]

Haha yeah she's adorable! 😁

[@wardystudios688]

I got a few from Banpresto when I first started collecting about five years ago and thought they were not too bad overall. I did noticed after a few years that the lines of the mold showed up down the legs especially. I think I have only kept two. It would have to be something I really love the design of and/or a character I may want more of for me to buy. Taito seems to be popular choice from people.

[@DTTCReviews]

Oooh, I've never heard of that happening before but that's crazy... 🤯 I love the different outfits they come in! 🤩

[@wardystudios688]

@@DTTCReviews I've never heard anyone talk about it before. It's strange. I've always kept them in proper conditions, so I don't believe it was my fault. Tons of cute outfits!

[@DTTCReviews]

@wardystudios688 figures becoming sticky is probably the worst I've seen or heard if they are old... 🤷‍♂️ Pretty sure it's to do with the plastic chemical mix so nothing we can do about it... ☹️

[@DidierWierdsma6335]

Hey DTTC i honestly prefer prize figures and why? they are much more affordable than scales. Also nowadays prize figures do look amazing love them i could easily afford scales myself but honestly once again i prefer prize figures😊 Other than that a great haul and a great video keep up the great work👍 And greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱

[@DTTCReviews]

Hello from Canada! 👋 Unfortunately for me, my first figures were scales, but it sure would have been nice to start with prize! 😅

[@bassinjin]

My collection is a toss up between scales /mini figures and prize figures ...... my fav prize figures are the Masterlise one I just ordered Byakuya Kuchiki & can't wait to get him the detail on him looks so nice I also got the Beyond the Level G5 Luffy Ichiban which is super nice.... wish it was a hair bigger but I will live with it

[@DTTCReviews]

Solid additions to the collection there! I'd love to get some Bleach figures too! 😅

[@azureblueotaku]

I haven't been getting Rem prize figures as of late since there hasn't been much that caught my interest. I still think Taito does the best Rem. If I were to recommend some that I've been considering: -Taito Nurse Maid Rem & Ram -FuRyu Rem Bridesmaid -Sega Luminasta Rem Nyatsu day -Taito Rem Desktop Cute Cat Roomwear Ver. -FuRyu BiCute Bunnies Rem Cutie Style -Taito Coreful Rem Puck Outfit ver. -Taito Precious Rem Original Frill Swimwear ver. -FuRyu Exceed Creative Rem Little Rabbit Girl -Taito Coreful Rem Memory Snow Puppy Ver. Renewal -Sega Luminasta Rem Great Spirit Puck Ver. Luminasta Renewal (with Ram, Emilia, Beatrice) -Banpresto Rem Serenus Couture (with Ram) -FuRyu Noodle Stopper Rem Twinkle Party ver. (with Ram) Hope that helps!

[@DTTCReviews]

Omg that list! 🤯 I'll have to add a few of these into the collection I think... 😅

[@WayneLLC]

It definitely seems like prize figures are punching above their weight class these days, great pick ups. Personally I don't pick up prize figures, figma or nendo simply because I don't want to 'distract' myself with too many choices which just makes me poorer haha 😅 but I would love to pick up some nendo at some points to complement some of my figures. On the other note, looking forward to your next 'overhaul' video. Would love to also see your fav pick up list of 2023 as we come close to the end of the year.

[@DTTCReviews]

Haha I love having nendos next to other scales, adds a little extra flare to the displays so I highly recommend! 😆 In the process of that little makeover and I'm beat... 😵‍💫

[@WayneLLC]

@@DTTCReviews 😂 all the best and look forward to it

[@ClaudiaVeilsong]

All figures in general (nendoroids, scales, prizes, etc.) have seen so much improvement over the years. And as someone who does buy and collect a good number of prize figures, I would say it's just a matter of selecting very carefully which ones you'll buy. If you get the right ones, they have decent to very good sculpt and decent paint job. They also don't RIP your wallet for characters that you may not even fancy all that much.

[@DTTCReviews]

Haha I've even skipped some scales before but for prize money i might just end up collecting everything... Seen other Rem collectors online and they basically have every prize of her imaginable... 😅

[@ClaudiaVeilsong]

If you do, I look forward to seeing you feature the good ones in your channel! 🤩@@DTTCReviews

[@aowle]

Changed my mind about prize figures 👀

[@DTTCReviews]

Glad I could help! 😂

[@meimeihughes]

My best friend is a Rem fan so he has a whole detolf dedicated to rem and ram. Some of it is scale figures but most of them are prize figures. So whenever I see a cute set I think he would like I buy them for him I did recently get him the penguin ones and he loves them. I would say if I character gets a lot of prize figures there is a very good chance you will find some good ones.

[@DTTCReviews]

Your best friend is truly a man of culture and has impeccable taste! 😉

[@vorlun2594]

Try collecting Macross figures, they don't feel cheap and doesn't look like a prize figure, bc most of them have shading all over. Most Sega figures as well especially Miku.

[@DTTCReviews]

Macross designs are so beautiful, I'm considering adding a Sheryl Nome to my collection soon... 😆

[@NiniNyxii]

i have primarily Banpresto Figures but i love how they look like straight out of the Anime 😊 im on my way to collect all the One Piece Movie Red Figures because i love the outfits and the movie 😊😊💖 Oh and id love to see you customize a prize figure :3

[@DTTCReviews]

Ooooh there's so many Film Red options! I need me that Megahouse Uta tho... 😍 Hopefully after the lil room makeover I'll have some more space for painting... 😬

[@NiniNyxii]

@@DTTCReviews the one in armor? 😍 i love uta. I think my next bigger figure will be the one with uta on one side and shanks on the other side with crystals inbetween🙈 not sure if that counts as a prize figure.

[@DTTCReviews]

@NiniNyxii haha bingo! 😄 I think those 2 would be considered prize because Megahouse is the only manufacturer that produces their scales. 🤔

[@WickedRegal]

I don't get many prize figures but when I do get them I actually tend to lean toward Sega. Out of the different ones I used to get when I started my figure collection a couple years ago, I was alwaya impressed by my Sega ones the most. But haven't gotten any prize ones in quite awhile as I have limited space and 1/4 scales coming in so 😅

[@DTTCReviews]

Haha yeah, Sega seems to have some of the cutest designs! Quarter scales get priority! 😂

[@ivy5554]

I've always found Sega prize figures to have really bad paint and finish quality so I'm pleasantly surprised that these ones were decent. Not enough to resolve my past trauma with the brand and get me to buy from them, but really happy for you haha 😊

[@DTTCReviews]

Haha I don't blame you! Quality is a bit hit or miss on Rem prizes but I'm glad these were good! 😅

[@chantallatorre4122]

Prize figures have been getting better but I think I'm always gonna be scales all the way with occasional pups and nends. Speaking of nendoroids, what were the little risers you get from amazon?

[@04Author]

The Taito "Artist Masterpiece" Line from taito is my fav prive figures also out of topic but why does genshin hardly release figure despite the game being so popular, most of the figure from them is garage kits, the money that they would make if they release a 1/7 scale for every single character would be out of this world lol, i mean players already spends thousands of many in their game.

[@DTTCReviews]

I'll definitely have to take a look at that line! 😁 I have a feeling that Hoyo probably sees it as a big expense and just releasing new characters to roll on is more cost-effective? 😅

[@maryus786]

The only prize rem i dont like is the rain coat one. Her face on that one seem... off. But two figure that i think you'll like there one where you can have swimsuit ver of rem and ram holding like a tube floatie. There also a halloween theme witch rem.

[@DTTCReviews]

Yea the rain coat Rem isn't the best... I'll definitely check out the other recommendations though, they sound really cute! 😁

[@no.9423]

The first time i bought a figure it was a prize figure, it was very small and looked cheap. I was so dissapointed that since then i have been exclusively collecting Nendoroids, however just a few days ago i saw a Sagiri (Taito) figure that just has to be mine, i really hope i don't get dissapointed of prize figures again. Also just wanted to point out that i started collecting seriously because of your videos

[@dimitryryutta]

I do think prize figures deserve a bit more credit,yeah they may not be the highest quality,but some of them are legit prety impressive in the quality they offer for a very good price,and they're a god send for a Ram and Rem fanboy like myself,since there's a LOT of cute prize figures of both of them

[@xelaw16]

I feel prize figure gets a bad rep, they normally aren't too bad.... I would say its a good entry level for new figure collectors to get their foot into the hobbie. I have a few prize figures and a bunch of the hatsune miku prize figure aren't too bad. They are just sometimes hard to find, i'm sure there are sites that sell just prize figures. But a good entry level point for new figure collectors to start.

[@DTTCReviews]

Yea I agree, these are a beautiful gateway into the hobby! Mixing it up every now and then for a season collector isn't so bad either! 😆

[@uncrstbl]

Personally not a huge fan of prize figures anymore, for every couple hits there's *literally* dozens of misses. I'm of the (probably unpopular opinion) that prize figures peaked around the mid 2010s. Lots of creative sculpts / intricate dioramas / actual effort put into paint jobs (even if it was just a simple black wash), even if the quality was usually worse and they tended to be smaller than they are now, you could tell the ambition was there a lot more often than it is now. Nowadays I only buy prize figures on a whim, very few of them wow me and if they do there's a chance that it's a rerelease of something that came out around 2013-2018

[@DTTCReviews]

I've been won over by this recent batch of prize figures and I can't wait to collect a few more! Luckily, I've seen quite a few rereleases of older sculpts so maybe I'll grab something there as well. My biggest nono is getting prize figures in the characters iconic look/ design. Fun casual outfits and cosplay ideas are always welcomed tho! 😆

[@uncrstbl]

@@DTTCReviews Hell yea! My biggest no no for prizes are boring / static sculpts, so I don't really mind the outfit as long as the figure is creative enough. Since I know you're big on op, a figure like Scultures Strong World Luffy is to me a peak prize figure. Interesting sculpt, unique but official outfit, decent paint. great unique facial expression. Only problem is the plain black base but for people that dabble in customizing that's no biggie Really love your content btw, it's nice to have some bigger voices in this hobby! And the production quality is great 🤗
