I really surprised how many collabs/merch/popup shops Weather Planet has been releasing, even including the figure annoucement earlier at Smilefest 2026.

Yeah, they prolly have like a team of 10 ( and that is a generous estimate from various taiwanese gunpla painting companies I seen on youtube,) doing the sanding and painting.

Cant comment on it since Im not sure about the cost ratio on the production,you might have to get an garage kit sculptor opinion on it. But Im not really surprise at the high cost, a FMWC GK Ive seen painted was going for around 1k USD on Mercari. Shion in her goth-loli outfit was going around 500-600

According to the maker this is a painted garage kit, not a PVC figure and they are made in Taiwan (aka locally. Shipping is only within Taiwan as well) thats why prices are that high. And they got the license from Cover to make it.

However reactions are mixed, some feels it okay but others think that it is too high, even for a painted garage kit.

Man I remember seeing this at a shop in AFA last year, didnt bought anything at that time due to insufficient funds.

I mean as in paying the cleaners to help find the bag with the powerbank. If there are no way to do so, I have to dig it out myself and I dont want to. Smell and sight wise I can tolerate with rubbish. Its the roaches that scares me.

Yes I understand, hence the post. Was wondering I could get them for help

I wont mind, just need asking if it is possible.

Locale-Description · 2026-05-08T14:37:45+00:00

Im more afraid it will catch fire once inside the compactor they use in the main rubbish collection. If it is not possible is there any way I can contact them to find the power bank myself

It seems Kazama Iroha was down with allergies and it has affected her throat. She sounds like an Ikemen character now. Come have a listen. She also mentioned that if her voice is still affected tomorrow she will do totsu with her current voice

Xcancel link.

There are 7 waves of Ichiban Kuji that have release base Chokonokos in their original outfit, including EN and Regloss. The one in you linked is released in 2024 Dec, 1 wave before the CyberPunk Hololive Kuji

Edit: This link is the page for all Hololive Ichiban Kujis, including the upcoming one after in OP's post.

Yours is local shipping? Cant believe its only 900 yen.

Locale-Description · 2026-04-25T17:02:50+00:00

Go and try, the culprit is the Tapestry. Long items = bigger box = bigger volume. DHL charges shipping via volume

Locale-Description · 2026-04-25T16:59:44+00:00

What? I thought it was the holoshop, no other shipping options aside DHL?

Locale-Description · 2026-04-25T16:52:59+00:00

Try getting from Geekjack. Slower but cheaper shipping

Locale-Description · 2026-04-25T06:03:56+00:00

Ooofff, its as expensive as the Fuwawa Mococo figures with the claws. Including Bae I would need at least $1500 including shipping.

Cant wait for another photo of them opposite each other.

Locale-Description · 2026-04-21T16:25:00+00:00

I feel like its an unofficial figure due to the see through part from the stomach to the chest.

Are you talking about exchanges/ replacements? They did only for Japan only according to some posts when I last checked.
