This is so informative! I've always been curious about an actual in-depth review of these yoshitoku figures. Yeah for that price, there should be no excuse for the joints not fitting easily or having something that's not a plain black base! Thank you for doing these reviews, I like that you go into detail about sculpt and paintwork in a way that no one else really does. I'd love to see what are you guys' favourite figures!

This figure is probably more akin to a Japanese doll than any scale figure. The workmanship looks high quality.

Given the price, I agree. Far beyond a 1/4 figure. We may be going back to Japan in December. I'd love to find an actual Yoshitoku doll and use it for comparisons to these figures!

Thank you for the review, the value section was great. I have a few of these dolls and to me they feel like they are worth about 2.5 - 3 binding 1/4 scale figures. Apart from Pekora who's probably worth 4! Her facial expression is so good you can't help but smile when you see it. Even if furyu does a poor job of the actual pvc character designs on some of them I think the finished products have been quite satisfying so far.

Ah! I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you for leaving a thoughtful comment 🙂 The value section is one of our favorites! It can bring a lot of perspective, especially with large figures such as the 1/2.5 Kurumi! Agreed! The end result is just stunning, flaws and all. There's a reason it's Senpai's new favorite. We can't wait to get more! We have Pekora and Miku preordered

Welp this looks good but for the price I expected better, I'm gonna go with the 60k yen value since IDK what would make the kimono 100k yen, even most of the details are just printed although I was never planning to buy it in the first place

Agreed. The price does more to harm the figure's reputation than anything else. So much more would be "forgiven" if the price point was 70,000 yen as asserted in our latest video.

@@KohaisCollection that is great to hear, now I can have a trusting source to thoroughly review it first! Not to be mistaken that I wish for prices to drop - I personally do feel that these 1/4 are one of a kind, and with the craftsmanship and collaboration involved, their price tag is to be expected. Pekora for me was a must get since I do follow her as a vtuber - and while I am not a hardcore fan by any means, I feel like the figure of her would be a symbol of my trip there in Japan during January when I saw her 1:1 scale at Animate, and given that this is the year of Rabbit. However, I really need to clear my POs (dam these orders that have been shifting dates) before I can look to secure her. I guess the only consolation now is that I can get to see her on your channel in all her glory, can't wait!

While it seems they cut some corners on the base and some paint aspects, she looks absolutely stunning!

At the end of the day, we are exchanging cash for fancy plastic. We definitely see it as a noteworthy way to objectively measure a figure. You can check the description for our data :) We think it is rather interesting. Alas, the scale is not good for these figures due to the cloth component. So the subjective opinion becomes important!

I'm really surprised that the pattern on the kimono itself is printed, not embroidered. Brocade is so easy to find and make a kimono out of😅

We had to really look at it multiple times before we realized "wait a minute. It's all printed!". I assume it all just comes down to machine time. It's faster to print vs put on a loom. Though for a doll company, just like you said, I'm surprised they don't just source a pre-made design. I sure wouldn't have noticed if it was used on a previous doll of theirs. Hell, given the size of this figure, I would think they could purchase scraps from another company in volume.

This is what really sucks about these figures. Furyu thinks that the kimono alone is enough to make a figure great and just does a lazy ass job, really disappointing. I'm fine with little shading, but the fact that her connections are crude and that base... 😱

It's definitely frustrating! Before Kurumi (with maybe the exception of Rem and Ram), I've been unimpressed with how the PVC character looks. Thankfully, that aspect seems to be getting better with the advent of Kurumi, Pekora, and Miku. But it's asinine that FuRyu doesn't hold up their end of the bargin and make the PVC elements the best they possibly can. The kimono is perfect. For this price, why can't the PVC be? Why is plastic more difficult than the kimono? If I were marketing at Yoshitoku, I'd be pressuring FuRyu and do better in future collabs.
