That Luffy looks better than the megahouse one. Prob lower quality but I like the sculpt more. Feels more in the spirit of Gear 5

This Bishoujo line is the perfect reminder of the Transformers' Japanese roots. 😎 I also appreciate the 80's nods with these, like Prime's cropped bomber jacket & Bumblebee's leg warmers. I hope Soundwave comes next!

I've always thought the Koto Bishoujo line looked good, but never bought any until they started the Star Trek series. Have the Vulcan Science officer which I love and am looking forward to Uhura this month. It's been my experience that Figuarts Zero is kind of iffy when it comes to quality but am happy to see your Luffy turned out pretty good. Thanks for the unboxings!

I'm not even into One Piece but that giant Gear 5 Luffy to me looks stunning! I think a little bit of shading on the white parts should make it more finished, but I wouldn't take it too far. I like the simplicity of the shading as it fits with the cartoonish style of the design.

CA$22 EMS + no tax? That's amazing! I would buy more figures if shipping was this affordable. Transformers girls always look cute! I love her expression - it speaks Starscream. >:D I used to visit Toyka Collectibles periodically in the west side of Vancouver. I was disappointed when they moved, but understood why. I am sure they are getting more traffic at their new location.

Hey Derek, I really enjoy your content! Quick question for you from a fellow Canadian. I’ve recently started collecting resin. I’m starting with one piece and then want to do dbz and Naruto. I own 3 Jimei palace pieces so far (perona, big mom , boa Hancock) in order of which I bought first. Big mom and boa are on their way to me via sea since express shipping was so damn expensive. I have another 3 on preorder but so far if I tally up what I spent on those 3 alone not including shipping it’s easily over 5k cad. I know this hobby isn’t cheap but how can I save money in the future on good quality resin, or is that even an option? I figure those were so expensive due to being aftermarket when purchased. Sorry for such a long post. Appreciate any advice you can give me!
@DTTCReviews3 ай бұрын
Heyo Canadian friendo! 😁 Normally shipping isn't too bad with surface parcel since you don't get hit with import taxes, just have to watch out for the aftermarket... 😅 Most of the time prices go crazy on popular characters so the preorder period for new releases is your best bet. Another tip is to check your local FB groups or marketplace because sometimes you get great deals there too! 😉
@ImSumYungHo3 ай бұрын
@@DTTCReviews thanks for the quick reply and will do. I do appreciate the payment plan option given. When I seen your big mom unboxing video I fell in love with the quality and needed to buy it! Big moms shipping by dhl would have been about 900 cad 😱 so I opted for the cheaper option. I’ll keep an eye peeled on FB market! The wife says I can’t buy anymore this year lol but it’s such an addicting hobby.

I love your videos and I’m new to collecting anime figures! Could you pls explain the sizing on these pieces, I never understand 1/4 and everything when referring to the sizing
@DTTCReviews3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the support and welcome to the hobby! 😁 Scaling is basically all based off the characters "official" height and then divided by the number. So 1/4 scale is 25% of the full height. So if they are 6ft in the anime then 1/4 scale would be pretty massive. 😅
