I see them on the real ship, but the sculptor 100% interpreted them as greebling given they've added triangular, stacked vents inside and didn't model the pontoon edges. You are right, they should be pontoons, flat on the inside, with rope netting holding them on. But even in the original art, they aren't pontoons.

Heavily anticipated figure review and thank you for the comprehensive views yet again. Picking up on the blue stripe was stellar. Great work! Just wish to clarify if the point on pose was marked down due to lack of dynamics, although it followed the skin/illustration? Agree that the price point doesn't really make sense, plus my wallet really doesn't allow me to do so, hence sticking to buying the simplified versions of both St Louis and Honolulu - I was thinking to place Prinz Eugen centre while each will be by her sides. I also personally like St Louis more (blue/purple haired ladies like Rei just appeal to me more)! I am also really anticipating the phototype of the other St Louis' skin (Luxurious Wheels), the one when she is alighting from a car.

Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for your commentary as always~ That is correct and thanks for asking for clarification! We addressed this exact same point on pose in one of our adjustment videos. When we first started reviewing, we would give 10/10 if the pose followed the artwork. However, that literally meant that any figure that received high marks on Art vs Model, would immediately receive an equally high (or perfect) score on pose. We decided we had to take the stance of "just because it matches the artwork, doesn't mean the artwork translates to a good figure". This way, all figures can be judged equally. Basically, we don't want a figure that just stands straight as an arrow to receive a 10/10 just because that's what they are doing in the artwork. It would go without saying that maybe that specific artwork wasn't a good source material. I don't mind the Light Versions as all, TBH. For collector's sake, sure, the boats are nice. However, the smaller footprint and focus on the females (which of course is what makes the characters most unique) is still *chefs kiss* to me. St. Louis is an absolute babe, to be sure

Hey! Sorry for the delay. We're trying to formulate an appropriate response for you~ Knead: -I have first hand experience with Knead. I own the Enterprise Mary Star Version as well as Ayanami, Demon's Final dress version. -Have unboxed Enterprise. I like the figure overall and am pleased. Modeling is clean and paint has shading and is well done. -I have not unboxed Ayanami, but looking through the packaging, the modeling is again good, but she has no shading at all, so she's very flat in appearance. -2nd hand experience, we've heard of Knead's Asuna having some QC issues. -Overall, they are still a new comer to the scene. Seems like they have growing pains and are still hit/miss. But their prototypes do excite me and I like the direction they are moving in. AniGift/AniGame -If we go by MyFigureCollection's split of the companies, neither Senpai or I own/have preordered any AniGift's, so we have no first hand experience with them short of seeing some protypes at WonFest, so we cannot give an appropriate opinion on them as they are very new. -AniGame, we have ordered figures, but haven't received them yet. I've ordered Le Malin. She just hasn't shipped yet. We're going to preorder Taihou for sure (she looks stunning!) and Senpai is considering Chin Hai. Taihou will probably up for strong consideration for review from us given her popularity and how much I like her as a character. -So as of right now, the only opinion I can really say is that AniGift doesn't have anything that personally excited us to preorder, whereas AniGame has prototypes that do excite us to the point of taking a chance with them to find out if they are worthwhile or not. I hope that helps you in some way. I know we can't give insight into AniGift/AniGame, but few persons can since they are so new. And we most certainly aren't just going to make up experience that we don't have with them :)

@@KohaisCollection Nice. There are a few things to note on the Among the Stalls figure. It does not come with instructions (at least I'm pretty sure mine didn't). The hair is difficult to put in, and the small decorations in the hair seem to pop off easily. One of them popped off as soon as I picked up the hair ( It might've just been me being clumsy though). Lastly, the Ahoge hair piece was impossible for me to put on in such a way that it was stable. I ultimately decided that it wasn't necessary and just left it off. The figure still looks great without it. There might be some figure assembly tricks that I don't know about since these two Honolulu figures are the only figures I've ever bought, but hopefully my comment will be a little helpful when you get yours.

It might be easier to put the ahoge piece in while the face plate is off, but again I don't feel like risking it. I don't think I'd ever want to swap the face plate anyway. Honolulu pouts approximately 99% of the time, so I really wouldn't want to swap a rare smiling face for another pout (even if it is cute).

@@timthirsty3816 honestly, KZitem has been kind to us. The optimist in me thinks our analytical format shows that we're not doing it for "sexual gratification" which is part of their ToS. Nudity is allowed on KZitem, though monetization may/will be limited. None of our 18+ videos are monetized (nor do we ever expect it to be) but we are fortunate our channel as a whole was approved for monetization. KZitem has done quirky things to our channel such as not allowing chapters anymore 🤣 probably due to the 18+ stuff and maybe the fear we'd just skip to certain NSFW points? But when speaking to KZitem they just said "keep uploading stuff and it may fix itself" 🤷 On top of this, we do have to be careful how much exposure our 18+ stuff gets. Our channel could be demonetized as a whole IF our content is majority 18+. So we are going to do what we can to keep our 18+ stuff about 30% of our views as to stay on KZitem's good side. Regarding the stuff in the background....we're human and know what to look for. Too small for AI. Though we have covered up the more obvious stuff in our newest videos 🙂 And then lastly ... We hate hate hate repression of sexual things 🤷 it's not gross to us. So we don't repress it. We'll play by the book as much as we can of course, but we're not just going to back down. As we grow, this may change as more eyes are on us or if cruel people report us. So only time will tell. I can promise you this though, we aren't going to go down without a fight and will strive to keep 18+ content on this channel 😎

how is price per gram am objective metric at all? seems completely arbitrary and nonsensical to me. the final measurement of weight is not indicative of the amount of man hours spent sculpting or painting, it isn't even indicative of the amount of mass spent producing the figure, each figure will have a different amount of waste material produced after being molded, sulpted and sanded.
@KohaisCollection

It's the definition of an objective measurement. Ultimately, we are exchanging money for plastic. It's the only way to compare using a number based measurement. It's not arbitrary at all. You can see our data in the description and where the points come from. It's measured across a miltitude of figures and will only get more accurate the more figures we add to the list. As you state though, other factors can determine the final value. This is why we have a subjective measurement. But ultimately a lot of what you say is a wash as this is already incorporated into the price of every figure ever made. Some companies are better at giving you more for your money. This can be in the physical sense, as well as quality. Quality of course being measured subjectively. Keep in mind, companies take all of this into account when pricing their figures to compete in a competitive market. So we could estimate 90% of what you stated is already in the price/is a wash since all figures go through the same. Many things can be measured like this due to the basic financial exchange. LEGO is an easy example as it's roughly $1 = 10 bricks. But from there, the price fluctuates based on certain pieces, R&D, Licensing, etc. So you need to also subjectively measure worth. Edit: just to clarify though, price per gram is completely objective. It's raw, measurable numbers. BUT, just as you noted, there are extraneous variables (such as quality) that can't be measured by weight. Thus why we have a subjective measurement right after. Fully opinionated. Something can score low on PPG, but then redeem itself on quality. The bonus of PPG is that we get insight into how manufacturers are pricing things. Our review on the 1/2.5 scale Kurumi is a great example of that. She's huge and crazy expensive. But she scores a 3 on PPG. This shows us, she is priced linearly for her size and is no different value-wise than your average 1/6 scale figure. "You don't get more for your money" so to speak. But in her case, she still subjectively feels too expensive given her quality. So she scores lower there. You really need to interpret the full value section as a whole (as that's what that section does) to give a greater picture of value that you can then use to compare other figures.
