The Sayori Nendoroid has Arrived at Last and It's Time to Giver Her a Look! // Review & Unboxing 🌻

[@LuigisToyBox]

Oof, I need a nap after the export and upload fiasco Sayori has sent me spiraling down for the past two days.

[@AlexisGutierrezProductions]

The thumbnail is excellent

[@LuigisToyBox]

Ay, thank you so much! I really loved how this one turned out, too.

[@corellioncrusaderproductio4679]

omg did you see the new monika pop up parade that was revealed at the expo? It looks like anyone who missed the first one will get a chance to get her in a casual outfit! It looks like the casual outfits might end up being made after all!

[@LuigisToyBox]

@@corellioncrusaderproductio4679 YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I was fan-girling all day yesterday once I saw the announcement, lol. It was quite a shock to see her photo after looking at the Pomni nendoroid, that’s for sure. I actually have a short reaction video I plan to release either today or tomorrow, so I can share more of my thoughts on it. I usually wait to do those until the pre-order, but I couldn’t hold back this time, lol. Her new figure looks so beautiful so far! Plus, it feels sort of symbolic with how far we have come, as Monika can finally show us the causal outfit we never got to see in the game, haha. I mean, we do have the Valentine’s Day artworks with it, but it feels right to have Monika be the first to get a physical figure of hers and open the door of opportunity. But yeah, this PUP will also be a nice opportunity for those who couldn’t get her first figure, too. I am still baffled that scalpers are trying to sell her for $300+💀 Like, you could buy one of the DDLC watches for that kind of cash. But most importantly… with causal outfits being a future option… FIGMA IS STILL ON THE TABLE!!!

[@elioridacow]

I was gonna buy her but the pre-order was closed before I even got a chance to buy it and we know how DDLC merch pre-orders go once it's out it's gone until it restocks and it's pure luck if it ever gets restocked! Needless to say I don't know if I'll ever get my hands on the Sayori nendoroid which makes me sad as a top Sayori lover! I know it's so much for all four but if I at least had Sayori I would be happy while I would like to have the others I really want Sayori then I'd be happy

[@LuigisToyBox]

@@elioridacow Ah, I am sorry to hear that. All of the GoodSmile DDLC stuff really does sell out super fast; it’s crazy! Unless they get a re-release a few years down the road, chances are they will never restock on the main retailers once sold out. Your best bet is saving up and regularly checking the second hand markets for a good deal. For example, you could check AmiAmi’s pre owned section to see if one comes in. Most of the time they are like brand new, never opened, and just have a tiny bit of box damage. Ebay and Mercari are fine too, but you’ll usually run into scalpers or high shipping fees more often unless you get really lucky. If by chance you live in New York, I have noticed Sayori is being sold by GS at this weekend’s Anime NYC event. So you could perhaps get her that way? Either way, I hope you can find your little Sayori someday! She is a lovely Nendoroid.

[@LuigisToyBox]

Woo hoo! That was a great premiere despite all my setbacks. Thank you to all who were able to attend live! If you weren't able to, then no worries. I appreciate you stopping by at any time! I will see you guys back here for either the Sayori PUP review or the Yuri Finale video (whichever I get done first)! Have a great day, everybody!

[@avanguard4102]

Wahoo Sayori is here 😊

[@HeroPark6776]

Yayy the cat at the start! This review is so informative and fun! :33

[@LuigisToyBox]

Glad you liked Asher! Happy to hear you enjoyed the review, too! Thanks for watching! 😸

[@MariaV-x3h]

Noooooo wayyyyyyy I waited for this all my life!!! Can’t wait to see this video!

[@assomekid350]

It's the way I had both Sayori and Yuri in my cart for checkout but Yuri went out of stock the moment I went to checkout 😢 but I did get Sayori before the same happened to her. Both of my younger nieces love her though so that makes me happy 😊

[@LuigisToyBox]

Oof- that’s one of the worst feelings right there. I had something similar happen recently when trying to order Toothless and Bendy in the same order. I bet if you keep looking around you will find Yuri for a good price soon. Don’t fall for those $80+ traps. Glad you could get Sayori at least! She is such a cute nendoroid. Your nieces have good taste, haha. 😁

[@wr3nche5]

yayyyy! i was waiting for your review on the cinnamon bun!! (loved the cat cameos) i definitely agree that she is lacking in parts, but like you said, she really thrives off of the other three and their accessories. that's actually kind of fitting for her... of course she'd do better with the support of her friends! lack of individual accessories aside, she is absolutely ADORABLE and i love her SO so much. her and yuri arrived in *two days* after shipping *from japan,* and i was so happy and surprised to get them that fast. i take sayori on every car ride now, i can't go anywhere without taking this little, painfully relatable, bundle of sunshine with me... she's just unreasonably cute xP also, i got her PUP in, too! it looks great! now i'm just waiting on goodsmile to release yuri and natsuki in that line, and then reunion part 2 can commence AND... did you see sanshee's 3 new plushies of the club members? i remember you saying monika looked kinda silly, so i'm curious on your opinion of the new ones! i need sayori's plush asap, but they don't release until winter, sadly... they also released new keychains of the four that feature mouse cursors that look like they're holding them up. it's super cute! and also kinda meta serenity forge also recently released some japanese-style-scroll-poster-things of the girls, and they look _beautiful._ check those out if you haven't already, they're really really nice! and i may have preordered sayori's, because... sayori. ehehe...

[@LuigisToyBox]

Ayyyyyyy, you have returned, Wr3nche5!!! It's been a while since I have seen you around. Hope you have been doing well! Ooooo, I love that thought! I didn't think of it like that before, but it's very fitting symbolism. Looking past the parts, I must admit the figure itself is super cute, and I love looking at her next to Monika and Natsuki :3 She is a little cutie patootie and thrives quite well in the Nendoroid format. DANG, that is some fast shipping! Did you order from Good Smile Global? Awww, it's sweet to hear you enjoy your little bundle of sunshine so much! I don't dare take mine out of the house for fear of losing a piece or having them damaged, but it is really cool to see people taking theirs out for photoshoots in the wild. Always nice to bring some moral support with you! Also, in case you didn't know, be wary about sun exposure to your Nendoroid for long periods of time. Since she goes on car rides with you, be careful that she doesn't sit in direct sunlight for too long as that can damage the plastic and sun bleach her over time. Depending on how long and often it happens, the process can be faster or slower, so just be mindful of that. It's good to hear that the PUP looks nice, too! I have mine on the way, but from the few pictures I have seen, her faceprint looks a bit questionable to me. Like It's too smooshed or too far down on the head? Maybe those were flukes, so hopefully, mine turns out okay. I can't wait to put her next to Monika and Miku, at least! Yep, I most certainly did! It was quite a surprising announcement as they just poofed in out of nowhere. I was almost starting to think they would only do Just Monika after all, lol. As for my thoughts on them... I think they are ok. Yuri and Natsuki are the best-looking out of the lot, and I love the custom expressions on them. The sutble eye squint on Yuri to show she is nervous is so adorable. And Natsuki's little intimidating face is very fitting for a plushie of her stature, lol. Sayori's, though... that one legit terrifies me. I think it's the mouth or eyebrow placement, but with those big ol' blue eyes paired with that small smile, she stares uncomfortably deep into my soul. Like this emoji but in real life: 🔵v 🔵 I thought Monika scared me before, but I think Sayori trumps that for me, lol. Perhaps that sounds a bit odd to you as you are a Sayori enthusiast, but there's always been something a little off about those plushies, so I guess it's that for me. I really want the original ones to come back someday, as those have been, by far, the best renditions. Ah yessss, the cursor keychains! I love the art style and design on those, but I don't like that they are primarily rubber. Rubber keychains never seem as durable to me as metal ones are. I would consider picking them up for my doki shelf if they ever go on sale. Have you seen the new OIS acrylic keychains? They got new glitch variants, and I am tempted to re-buy Monika to get my beloved Glitchika, lol. I also think Yuri looks really neat. It seems everyone has collectively decided to adopt the "half glitch face" to represent her in Act 2 now. The wall scrolls do look so pretty!!! I love their framing and decoration, plus how beautiful all the girls look in kimonos. I was tempted to snag the set, but I had to decline once I saw that price tag. Also nice to see a resurgence of some older poster sets, too, like the date series. Makes me wish they were metal prints or something as they would look stunning on glossy metal. I am really excited about the new shirts coming to the YeeTee store. I was eager to see how they would look after the whole "red vs. pink" poll Team Savato hosted (I'm still sad red didn't win), and the designs are so unique and gorgeous! They almost remind me of Omocat in the way they used symbolism and a more detailed style. Very tempted to pick one up, but then again, there are 4 to 5 I like at this point, so I must choose, haha. Lowkey was kind of disappointed in the Insert Coin Clothing collab. It started out very bland, and still, the only good things were the jacket, the pins, and the hoodie. Oof, sorry for the info dump on DDLC merch. I do find it a super interesting topic and will babble about it if I get the chance, lol. I am glad your Sayori nendoroid and PUP measured up to everything you had hoped! And may your other Sayori merch look just as cool when it ships out!

[@wr3nche5]

@@LuigisToyBox yesss, i'm backk! i've been doing good! just busy with other things, yk how it isss yep! it was GSG! their preorder dates are a bit sooner than the US site, so for preorders, i tend to order from there. including the new miku V3 nendoroid that i'm super excited abouttt!! i've always loved her V3 design, so i just had to get that one, even if i focus more on DDLC merch nowadays, ahaha ahh, noted about the sunlight exposure! i keep her in the middle of the back seat out of the sun, but i'll definitely keep that in mind for future reference. i also try not to leave her in the hot car for too long when possible, cuz i imagine that wouldn't be too good for her either... hmmm... i do notice PUP prints can be kinda off sometimes... i think it's a quality control thing. mine looks pretty good though, thankfully! my monika face print seems a little off, though... i can't quite put my finger on it... ehehe... i know what you mean about the plushie's big stare xP. i do kinda wish they made her mouth an open smile just to differentiate it from monika's face a bit, but oh wellll. nothing a bit of printed paper can't fix! and yes yuri and natsuki's faces are great, hahaha (i'll probably have all 3 on preorder by the time winter rolls around). but yeah, nothing beats the original chibi ones! the rerelease of the 2019 jumpscare monika chibi gives me at least a little hope, though! butttt, i'm not sure if they'd wanna rerelease those right now when sanshee has theirs for sale. team salvato might not wanna step on their toes perse, yk? which is unfortunate... but fair yeahh, i saw the new OIS keychains! i was gonna mention them, but my comment felt so long already that i didn't, ahaha. they look great! i didn't expect them to do that, but it's super cool that they did! speaking of which, kind of unfortunate news about the blep monika keychain i ordered... USPS ended up losing it in the mail between my state and washington DC, so... that's delightful... i'm more sad that one of ocean's products got lost like that than anything, she puts a lot of passion into those. OIS customer support was really nice about it though, and _were_ going to send me a new one, but they were out of stock, so they just ended up giving me a refund. so i bought their sayori pin! and it is SO cute! i just need to get natsuki's OIS pin, and i'll have all four! i understand the hesitation on the price of the scrolls xP, once i get mine in, i'll be sure to tell you how good the quality is and if i think it's worth it. they're printed on actual cloth, and i thought that was really unique, especially for regular merch. and yes, the date series is really cute! i was kind of going back and forth on getting sayori's or natsuki's date posters, but then i saw the scrolls... ah, yes, the new shirts are sooo cutee! i miss the omocat shirts... i saw their twitter posts showing the shirts themed after the side stories, and i was so sad that they weren't available anymore. the side stories are probably my new favourite thing now, so any merch referencing that would be wonderful. yetee has that one diorama with the side story names on a chalkboard though, so... insert coin clothing's current selection is definitely, interesting. the varsity jacket is kinda cool, but the color scheme isn't... ideal... i instantly fell in love with the chibi pins though, because... *the original chibi sprites omg-* (also the sayori-themed socks are niche but also cute, but i'm also biased lol) nooo, i don't mind! discussions of DDLC merch (or any merch of something i'm interested in) is always fun for me! and thank you for the well wishes of the sayori! i have things to say about yuri's nendoroid, but i'll save that for your video on her. oh, also, forgot to mention in my initial comment; MR. COW CAN TURN HIS HEAD???? my mind was genuinely blown when you said that, like woah. also didn't know for sure if the cookie could be removed, mine was kinda tight and i wasn't gonna fight with it xd

[@LuigisToyBox]

@@wr3nche5 Ah, that Miku is super pretty! I would be afraid of moving her twin tails as they look quite fragile on that model, specifically. But then again, when is it ever not scary moving Miku's hair in fear of the joint breaking, lol. The only Miku I can think of that I'm currently looking out for is Winter 2024, as I love her cozy cooking cabin vibe. I missed my chance initially, but I am in no rush, so I can wait until she pops up again. But Cinamon Roll Miku has been a bit tempting as well... Ah, true true. At this rate, I fear the OG plushies will never come back, considering the deals with both YooTooz and Shanshee for their plushies. Maybe it would be a cool idea to re-release the OGs on the game's 10th anniversary as a one-time thing? Would make it feel pretty special! I never realized that the Jumpscare plush got a re-release, though? That's pretty cool. Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about your keychain! That is very unfortunate. But at least you are enjoying the pins instead! They are super cute in that collection

[@wr3nche5]

@@LuigisToyBox yess, so true. i just move it very slowly and carefully... ahaha. cinnamon roll miku is ADORABLE! i would get that one too, but i can't justify it with my sights set on other things atm... but it is really neat! there's also those bunny pajamas for her nendoroid doll, and those are really cute too! yeahhh, an anniversary release would make sense! and 10th isn't... that far away........... i feel old....... and yeah, the jumpscare plushie did rerelease! it was put on target's website? kind of an odd choice... but they also put it on another one called toynk, which i can confirm is legit, cuz i have mineeee! and she is very real and official and makes me want the chibis back even moreso. her hair is like silkkk ooooo, yessss! brown and green for monika (even though that might not look great xd), yellow and blue for sayori, purple and...black? for yuri, and pink and pale white for natsuki! that would be soo cuutee, i wish they did thattt mmmm, tell me about the hair on black clothing... we have dogs _and_ a cat, it's horrible for black clothes xd _Doki Doki Momento Mori!_ i knowww! like, i don't think anyone except OIS has really even acknowledged monika's love of coffee? they could do something with that, and also "Just Monika." popups, and delete buttons, and... well, you get the idea, ehehe... yessss, everyone must know that mr. cow has a neck joint! that way he can watch over sayori in her sleep like a guardian angel... or stare into your soul while _you_ sleep

[@LuigisToyBox]

@@wr3nche5 Fr fr, It feels just like yesterday I was there celebrating its 3rd anniversary, and all of a sudden, it will be 7 years old this year! And Plus will be 3 at the end of this month!!! Crazy how fast the past 2-4 years have flown by in particular. But it's still really impressive to see such an old VN alive and kicking from its fanbase and creators, so I have high hopes it will flourish for many more years to come. They deserve it! But dang, that's wild to hear a comic con exclusive item got re-released just to end up on Target, lol. I may have to look into picking one up. As I may have mentioned before, I may be a bit of a Glitchika fan, haha. Ooooooo, a little coffee cup pattern sounds adorable for some merch! OIS included so many unique details in that line that I really appreciate. Alternatively, I feel like it's been a while since the whole music/piano aspect has been used, so maybe a music note pattern would be nice to see. Heck, maybe even that hilarious full-on piano pattern that the Nendoroid pillow used on the back of hers, lol. ... yo, that is actually such a good idea for a stop-motion bit. I may use that in the future, haha! It also sounds like Monika has competition for nightly stalker duties now. O - O

[@LuigisToyBox]

@@SUTAZZZ Haha, thank you! I was surprised I was able to talk so much about her, too, but I am glad I could make it an enjoyable experience. It definitely helped to go into the “Sayori experience” completely blind so I could have the most surprises, lol. Yeah, it was a shame how little of the budget Sayori ended up getting compared to the other 3. I was ready to eat my words from the reaction video if she turned out better, but sadly, she lived up to those expectations pretty closely. They were so close to at least the bare minimum, but fumbled the ball and did her dirty instead. 😔 She is at least pretty cute, so she has that going for her. Looks lovely to see the whole group together. Ah! Were you the person who was excited for Leon? I have been seeing lots of people talking about him lately, so it seems everyone is very happy about the release. Congratulations on finally getting your first!!! 🎉 How do you like him?

Hey friend Luigi's toy box I got my anime baby sayori nendoroid action figure pre-ordered when will she usually arrive for me by the way....

[@LuigisToyBox]

Hello again! To answer that, it would depend on where you live and where you purchased her from. If you live in the US, she probably should have shipped by now if you ordered her from a direct store. If you live outside the US, she could be taking longer due to distributors getting her later than the US or Japan. Depending on the type of shipping you chose, you can usually track it to see where it is at once it ships.

[@everglxdes]

I need a friend for my Yuri nendoroid (when I make up the money to do so) who should I get next?

[@LuigisToyBox]

If you’re on a budget, I would suggest Sayori next as she isn’t too hard to get yet and isn’t super expensive. Next one I could suggest is Monika as she is still available on GoodSmile US, but if you wait for a sale she usually drops down to like $45 base price vs $70. There is also Natsuki, but she is very hard to find + is super expensive right now. So she will take some diligent searching for if you want her for a somewhat reasonable price. If you have a 2nd favorite girl you would prefer, you could save up extra for that one in particular. I know Natsuki would complete the dynamic duo with Yuri, after all. But really any of the girls look great together, so whatever you choose I am sure Yuri will appreciate it. :D This is just the list I could recommend that wouldn’t be super hard on your wallet all at once.

[@SergioGarcia-or5jk]

Sorry. Do you know if is there a special edition of this?

[@LuigisToyBox]

@@SergioGarcia-or5jk No worries! For this nendoroid, this is the only version that exists.
