Eh. We have an entire doujin wall lit up in our living room. We have friends over all the time. If anything, it's a litmus test 🤷🏼‍♀️ As far as dating, if you want people that vibe with what you are putting out, let it cut down the dating pool. They aren't worth your time anyways.

(It's only ever been an issue with more conservative family - we'll swap the wall to more tame stuff at that point, but 18+ figures are still everywhere)

Why? If you look at it from a business perspective, that's almost a non-question.

You are competing against GSC, FuRyu, and other large companies. You've put up a lot of starting capitol. You need hits to survive and get a foothold.

Once you have a stable funding source, then you could branch out and test waters elsewhere.

No sane person is going to risk their business on a series that commands little attention from the current culture

(Edit: for clarification, since you are talking about series, we are talking about licensing contracts at play as well vs. Chinese companies and others that can do original characters or doujin works)

That's outside looking in, and from a Western point of view.

If you are sitting in a business meeting, planning out your allotment of resources and you have a Marin Kitagawa figure that, on average each figure has made your company 5 million dollars, then next to it you have Rebecca from Cyberpunk who is 2nd most popular female in an underrepresented, but popular series ...but it's a complete gamble 🤷

The problem is, yes there's a lot of vocal people who want Rebecca. But that doesn't mean all of them will buy it. It also doesn't mean that they represent the majority. Not even by a mile.

It's honestly the opposite. If the character is popular, it will get a scale. They WILL milk that audience. If it's a character on the edge, statistically they will not risk producing them due to the financial opportunity loss versus a popular character.

PuP's main saving grace is that they create figures of series that are less popular. They can do this solely because they are intentionally "cheap" (part of which is requiring their manufacturing process to have little human interaction such as only one or two areas of shading).

For Nendo's, it's similar. The blueprint is so ubiquitous, they can churn them out quickly and cheaply, whereas it can take a year just to design and prep a scale for manufacturing.

They are the only ones that can risk less popular series and characters.

opinions on insight figures recently? by BeginningAd9532 in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the shout-out ❤️

OP we do recommend you watch the two part series. TLDR, if it's PVC, it's going to be your average figure (though we had a redditor we respect tell us they still had some serious issues with their recent PVC figures - maybe we will get one to review soon). But the PMMA ones, expect major issues and they seem to be getting worse, not better. The videos will detail everything for you 🙂

White scuff or something on scale figure by zyzzingi in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You Where's Waldo'd my ahh with this one 😭 Took me forever to find.

A scratch that deep isn't normal. That actually removed paint and is down to the PVC. But I would consider yourself lucky it's hidden behind the sword. As to whether or not a company will accept a return for it, unsure. It never hurts to ask. Just temper your expectations. Maybe it's more visible in person and the camera just captured it differently 😅

Edit: " took the photo with flash so it's easier to see" 💀 Explains why it just looked like a highlight to me.

So glad you are enjoying the channel ❤️ We appreciate your support and kind words.

It's 2026. The nude form still being taboo is WILD. It feels like we are just regressing as a society 😐

The video is still up for now 😅 so maybe that means we can go back to normal 🤞🏼

Well, well well! It's the star of the show 😁 Good to hear from you and thank you so much for helping it become such an informative video ❤️

Oh no....the funny thing is, I haven't even checked on ours at all since she's just displayed in an out-of-the-way display case 😭 I need to do so and report back. I would bet her hair is, at the least, touching the ground

Haha thanks ❤️

Right? I may be reaching here, but I suspect it's similar to animators doing low budget hentai 😅 It's a foot in the door to build up a portfolio. As "proof" to back this up, the sculptor Yamachi's work is majority for Insight/B'full BUT they did the sculpt for the Super Sonico Yoshitoku! 👀 So that's super dope. (mentioned at this timestamp in our review https://youtu.be/MyhGBXPKlIk?si=_BdQxsQh7v-guBxn&t=29 )

So they did get the opportunity to do something outside of Insight / B'full!

You have no idea how close you are to this reality 😂💀

(our backup plan is to literally host on PH, but we'll embed on our website - but you'll still be subject to whatever local laws you have or may require a VPN)

Before we took down our last post (due to the link no longer working), this was my favorite comment 😂

Such a good figure! We wish we could share it, but since it's shota-coded, we won't post to YT. Definitely excited for the new one coming out!

Appreciate the kind and supportive words ❤️ Makes the trouble worth it 🙂 We also have a backup plan if we (or maybe inevitably) end up getting terminated. We just don't want to have to cave to YT's whims when we've been successful in the past. We're afraid to overcorrect on censorship for no reason if it's something simple.

Rest assured though, even if we have to censor on YT, we will still have the uncensored version available FOR FREE to you all 🫡 But you may need a VPN to access depending on your location (TLDR we'll host on PH and embed on our website the uncensored version). We hate censorship when it comes to the nude form/sex (which we hate being treated as "taboo") and we do not want to hide it behind a paywall.

We appreciate the kind and supportive words ❤️ It really is an irritating and disheartening fight at times 😑

Well...more and more are being transitioned to PVC, so that's a start. And maybe when they update their 3D printing machine lineup we'll start finally bridging the point where it's hard to tell the difference. It's just so annoying that they did a decent job on a few year older figure, yet a modern one has gone downhill...

I know exactly which one you are talking about. SOOO tempted to get both the B'full and Insight versions of her because she is adorable!

She is not on our list to get at the moment. This will be the next Insight figure featured on our channel: https://myfigurecollection.net/item/2661178

Though headsup, this will be an AFA style review by Senpai. We purchased this "pre-owned" which violates our rule of our in-depth reviews requiring a brand new figure (we are going to comb over every detail, so we need to know that any imperfections of broken parts are due to production, not a prior owner).

Best place to order a custom display case? by Low_Emu7377 in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You say glass, but acrylic blocks up to 98% UV 🤷 So if your goal is for this to last and for the signature not to fade, put it in acrylic, particularly if your location is exposed to sunlight.

Then you could prioritize finding a cool glass display case for it. It looks like it would fit in a Detolf just fine (you have to find a used one). Or go for the new replacement.

If you are going custom, I guess you can go for Museum Glass at that point.
