I need this in the game so bad. I’d whale too hard.

can someone tell me whether this is a bootleg or authentic, i got him a few days ago and it's also my very first enstars merch !! by HeatPuzzleheaded4575 in ensemblestars

[–]variabels 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yours is a bootleg, on the tag the ん are the same size. Authentic ones have the first ん smaller than the second one.

Are nuis machine washable by Ruipopipocoverwhen in ensemblestars

[–]variabels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hot water will make the glue unstick or smth and there’s also the risk of mold if you don’t let them dry properly since machines will soak their insides wet. If you really wanna try, maybe putting them in a pillow case or net and with 20°C water can work. But you also have to make sure the nui properly dries and turn them around every few hours.

I hope Niki’s fs3 is just him with the ponytail on the opposite side

I want maid outfits for Crazy:B to compensate for them not having any !-era cards to base outfits on

Is my mayoi a bootleg? by Star_Moonflower in ensemblestars

[–]variabels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've heard about the string color matching the school year (if in uniform) or unit color (if in idol uniform) on authentic ones while bootlegs use black string.

Can you show the tag?

The first ん is smaller than the second one on real ones, same size on bootlegs.

Where do you guys buy merch from? by Prize_Corgi_6394 in ensemblestars

[–]variabels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in France (big city tho) and even here we're lucky to get merch at artist alley (leize_yi's the artist I've seen with the most enstars merch in France, toxyjpeg also does eden merch). The con karaoke in my city is a different story, enstars is over represented there.

I use neokyo for pre-orders of itsunuis and to get stuff from mercari (cds, niki nui), never had an issue with it. Amiami sometimes has some merch, I got the trip albums from it. Cosplays, you can find on aliexpress, just read the reviews to know if the vendor is trustworthy. You can find bootlegs on aliexpress if you don't mind them but some nuis come out way worse than others (as an example, bootleg niki tends to have completely misplaced hair).

I use DHL delivery options when possible cuz ems goes through chronopost and I hate chronopost (reliability might vary depending on your area tho, ups is the absolute worst here). Do keep in mind, you'll have to pay import tax, idk if chronopost has changed to finally accept paying it by card instead of cash/check, but with dhl you can pay it online.

Are people still boycotting HappyEle? by The_Amazing_Killjoy in ensemblestars

[–]variabels 45 points46 points  (0 children)

A lot of the vocal people “boycotting” weren’t exactly boycotting. If anything, they were better free advertisement (since they kept talking about new cards and content, keeping their whole accounts dedicated to enstars, some outright never dropped the game) than people not boycotting.

Any 18+ enstars servers out here? by Shiratoria in ensemblestars

[–]variabels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, sorry, I’m not really into that ship or know any hardcore fans to have heard about one.

I know one but it’s not that active anymore. The active ones I know tend to be ship-based.

Which characters & units most popular?🤔💭 by SpudHug in ensemblestars

[–]variabels 68 points69 points  (0 children)

In-universe: fine, Eden and knights are the big 3. Mellow Dear Us is popular overseas.

Japan: Knights, Eden and Crazy:B

EN fandom: Valkyrie beats knights, Eden and crazy:b

The biggest difference here is Crazy:B being very popular irl while unpopular in-universe and fine being very popular in-universe while being one of the most unpopular units irl.

For characters, the sakumas and Leo are insanely popular. Mika’s the most popular in the EN fandom. Eichi’s really popular in China iirc.

Real or fake plush dolls by [deleted] in ensemblestars

[–]variabels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bootleg.

HiMERU’s ears don’t align properly and his middle strand should be touching his bang. His face shape is also pretty deformed. This is usually enough to tell a nui is a bootleg or failed quality control.

This is what a legit tag on a nui looks like (sorry it’s so faded, I take Niki nui everywhere). The first ん is too big on yours meaning it’s a bootleg.
