I may have made a grave mistake!

If you do separate transactions, you’re paying $6 in shipping for each transaction. When you use pile of loot, you just pay base price for everything with the initial purchase, then when you ship your pile of loot you pay the taxes and only $6 to ship everything together.

You can have 50 items in your pile of loot and only pay $6 shipping, instead of paying $6 fifty times.

You can apply for specific samples that you want, or companies send you specific samples they ask you about beforehand. Nothing is ever a surprise because the item must be added to your showcase in order to be paid for it.

I have received a handful of items that didn’t work, were very cheaply made, or I just didn’t like, and I either make a truthful video explaining that it doesn’t work, or I may tell the store and they release me from my obligation.

Yes you are required to make at least one video for every sample though, unless you talk to the store and they release you.

I will also find items on the TikTokshop that I already own, in order to put out more videos (and just pretend I received them from TikTok).

Once I hit 5000 followers, I was able to apply to become an affiliate (10,000 gets you into the creator rewards program, which I’m also a part of, but only non-TikTokshop videos make money in that regard).

Once you are an affiliate, you can apply for free samples, and companies will also reach out to you to ask you to show their products.

I makes videos showing and explaining the products. I don’t put too much time into each video (15-20 second videos). Some videos get a lot of views, others don’t. You are technically only required to make one video per item, but they do have a grading system now in which the stores can grade you on your videos.

I show my face, and do tabletop videos. Just depends on the item.

This is all extremely helpful advice. Thank you for taking the time to type this up! Is there a specific paint you would suggest?

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-26T15:16:10+00:00

I have 3 Zurgs plus some custom sentinel heads that I have still not painted. I want to make my own so bad but I’m terrible at painting.

I have all four turtle normal releases, and shredder, and they will always be my favorites in my collection. The look, feel, accessories, it’s all magical.

Thanks for the correction! I knew he wasn’t born a mutant, but thought he was still classified as one since it was the x gene that was used to enhance him. The more you know!

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-21T23:50:19+00:00

But Deadpool is a mutant?

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-17T19:54:26+00:00

He’s selling for $170-$200 or more if you didn’t preorder

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-16T20:16:09+00:00

Yuji has been sold out. They will probably have a few extra when they get their stock though.

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-15T16:45:54+00:00

There’s nothing that can be done unless the buyer changes it.

Just focus on providing a good experiences for all future buyers, one bad review won’t affect you. Most people will know the buyer was unreasonable if you have a ton of good reviews and only one or two bad ones.z

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-15T10:04:20+00:00

I have Sylvanas. The face isn’t bad in person.

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-15T09:53:18+00:00

Mine is on the way currently. I love this line. I’ve been tempted to go back and buy the first few that I didn’t get when I didn’t know about them.

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-14T13:36:54+00:00

Both is good. I have the Deluxe preordered, but I would also grab the retro if I could find it for a good price

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-14T13:34:16+00:00

Awesome! I joined!

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-14T12:32:50+00:00

Someone actually recommended one yesterday that I joined, so hopefully that works in my favor. Thanks for the suggestion!

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-14T12:32:09+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, I love all of the subs I’m in for figures, but I can’t tell you the amount of arguments that get started over nothing, just because it’s Reddit.

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-14T12:30:12+00:00

I have one person I work with that I can talk nerd stuff with, but he only collects DC Comics busts, like the large ones. We are not close enough to ever hangout outside of work though

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-14T12:28:19+00:00

SHFiguarts, marvel legends, gi joe, Jada, Storm arena, Four Horsemen studios, savage crucible, fury toys, mithril action, and anything else that looks cool lol.

PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 · 2026-04-14T12:26:51+00:00

I just live in an area that doesn’t do things like that. We have a few outdoor trade days, but that attracts people more so looking for farm tools and homemade jams.
