It honestly makes figures sticky and is better to just take them out and keep good care of them. Besides, figures hardly lose value when you take them out of the box. The box remains a b generally just from being opened and as long as you keep the figure above b condition if it has a high aftermarket value it's going to sell well. This isn't like western figures, there is literally no reason to keep your figure sealed.

To me, it shows a lack of love, caring more about the value of the figure than the figure itself. If you can't see and enjoy the glory of the figures, why bother? The only figure I'd ever consider putting into boxes are those that are replaced by strictly better ones. Say the bootleg-ish ones I bought in my poorer days or figure that are damaged and replaced(I'd never throw them away, mind you, but... if something happen to a figure I am buying another copy and display that instead)

@myne5689

For me it depends. I dislike when they're metal and are a lot of them, such as that princess connect figure of Pecorine I nearly bought. I also don't like when they're in the front. The aqua bikini figure is a good example of one I don't mind. The support only holds up her hair, it's clear, and you can position it away from your view. I find they sorta take away from the figure a bit and look a little tacky. It almost reminds me of scaffolding on an unfinished building or something. It just looks like it's not supposed to be there, which makes the figure feel less alive. There are also ways around the rods. Say someone's holding a big staff, you could add a little flame or water underneath it. This makes the figure look immersive, polished, whereas the rods look a bit cheap and unfinished. Of course, doing it this way will result in a more expensive figure. One good thing about the rods is they don't raise the value of the figure like effects do. I don't personally mind paying more for a more refined figure though, such as the estream ones. It's not that I hate rods in all cases, but sometimes I do avoid figures with them for these reasons.

This is a bit complicated. I'm not 100% against it, I have two figures that have them. But at the same time, I feel it should be minimized and only when it is absolutely necessary. The minimization need to be 1. clear and 2. strategic placement to be as hidden from view as possible. As for the necessity, well, both of mine are "floating" so there is no getting away from it. Dynamic pose (that's not jumping and thus not in "mid air"), on the other hand, might not actually *require* it. I have a LOT of figure that are on a single leg, none of them have support rod. Now, I didn't really pick them specifically one way or another, but it does goes to show that it isn't always needed. This is a result of a few design and production choices. First, material, some material are more sturdy than others and in some cases, I think a metal insert might be the way to go(now, due to thermal properties, there would be a lot of design and production difficulty with mixed materials, but it probably can and is done). Then there is design. Sufficiently good material will mean that it's not really an issue with supporting the weight, that's the easy part. The difficult part to maintain is when the center of gravity is not on top of the support, thus creating torque and will potentially cause the figure to lean over time. This can be counter acted via design by creating some sort of counterweight. It can be anything really, floating dress, a giant weapon, whatever. But the idea is you want the center of gravity as close to on top of the point of support as possible to minimize torque. Now, I haven't actually been consciously avoiding support rods. But I suspect that the reason I have a lack of them is at least in part due to buying mostly higher quality scales which probably took the above into consideration and avoid support rods when possible. Now, there would probably be time when it becomes unavoidable, but it would be fewer. I suspect that support rod might be more prolific in lower end figures as they take the easy solution because they kind of have to.
@genefactor007
3 жыл бұрын
I see it from both sides actually. In some cases they are simply needed for the stabilization of the figure. Some are needed for extra support and prevent leaning over time. So yeah, for figures with certain poses they are a much needed addition. However they can be an eyesore especially the ones that are something of a proximity piece to the figure. Not only does it eat up display real estate but for those who do notice it, they are very noticeable. I can forgive support stands that are part of the base but those proximity support stands, not a fan. I get their value but I just don't like them. All in all if there's a really cool figure out there that has a few variations, the one with the support rod would be my last choice every time. But hey, that's just me. :)

I first began collecting anime figures in 1995 at a convention in Atlanta. I found figures of characters from anime that I liked and brought them home. So my first and only real rule is that I will only collect figures that are connected to my favorite anime and meet my artistic standards. So I began with "Motoko Aoyama" from Love Hina and "Lina Inverse" from Slayers. I have continued over the years being very selective and only recently pre-ordered the two furisode figures from Yuru Camp and the Nadeshko "I can see it:Mt Fujj figure. . These were my only pre-orders for the year. One thing that I enjoy, is the enthusiasm of other figure collectors. They may not have the same tastes that I have, but they are fun to meet at conventions and to connect with on-line. People who are super-opinionated are boring, but true figure collectors are "enthusiastic" about their collections and tolerant of other's tastes. BTW I do not collect "bunny figures". They almost never appear in their anime in those costumes: except Haruhi Suzumia". LOL!

Saber is kind of the "face" of fate franchise, there is a saber face in I think every Fate. I believe it's heavily influenced by the creator of the franchise. And while I like Rin more, Saber is a good character. Both bunny and scantly clad figure are kind of the same thing. IMO, it heavily depends on the character. For example, the Sabers I got are in her full battle dress. Same with actually the majority of my figures, most are properly dressed(though some are in anime armor so there is still a fair deal of skin). However, I also have some scantly clad where the character "works". Kurumi, for example, is very sensual. While I have her in her spirit dress, I also have her in lingerie. Then there is my Horo figure, which I can honestly say is of the artistic nude variety. It fits her character, it feels right. And honestly, I didn't pick it because she's nude, it was the only one where the face didn't look derpy. I was looking at the one with a basket first but... the face.... And finally, there is my nekopara figures. It's nekopara.... If you know what it is, you know how it *should* be. Mine are dressed as they should, in the "recommended" configuration if you will. So I'd say I'm kind of a "moderate" on the subject. I dislike over-sexualization of a "serious" character but at the same time, full stop hate of them is also excessive IMO.

@@justanoman6497 For 1/4 scale figures that are as attractive and well made as they are I think they're perfectly priced. If anything they are among the few figures I see as being truly worth it these days, since regular 1/7 and 1/8 scales can regularly be just as if not more expensive. That being said, I still buy them, even the estream ones because I can afford to. For me, the bunnies are more of a luxury item you get for your waifus. I don't collect them, but if they make one for one of my waifus or a character I really like then I buy it without hesitation. My favorite is still the aqua bunny. If anything figure prices have been inflating a little too much these days and I hope *everything* goes back down a bit but I'll still keep buying them because I love it lol.

The problem with Figma, as many people have stated, are the joints. They look ugly af. Now, when the joints are hidden by cloth, it's totally fine, but those are far and rare in between. The other compromise is swappable parts for different poses, that's also totally fine but obviously means you only have a finite number of poses. Beyond that... honestly if I want multiple pose, I'd just have to pray for multiple figure releases. Honestly, if they ever figure out a new flexible material that allows posing without degrading overtime, I'd totally go for that. But until then, the ability to custom pose just aren't worth the cost of joint eyesore--I'm not gonna pose my figures everyday, but I am going to look at them everyday. P.S. joints are totally fine when the character are mechanical in nature, be it robot or power armor. But... that's a rarity in anime/games, more so for females because female anime/game armor designs. I have a Reinhardt with joints and it looks fine. As far as female char goes... I reckon plate armor joints like 675895 is probably the best they are gonna get. That one... I can stand.

Loved to talk to you on Reddit regarding the Yumeko bunny! Really good video. One of my unpopular opinions would be that a lot of the collectors in the anime figure community hate on funko pops too much. Who cares what others collect to such a length? Yes, they are far from the same quality as most anime figures, but Funko provide a lot to choose from for a good price. I don’t collect them anymore as I focus on scale figures nowadays, but I can see the appeal for people with a limited budget. Another unpopular opinion would be that the figure community, especially Reddit, talk down on the shop Nin-Nin-Game too much. They have amazing prices, different shipping options, pack well, and ship preorders very fast (faster than most other shops I have tried, if not the fastest). I have only used them for preorders, but I have heard people mainly have a problem with their in stock items and costumer service, but I have had good experiences with their customer service at least.

Before I got into figure collecting, I recycled my DvA and Isabelle's nendo boxes and I keep all their little bits in a tupperware container. Less space overall. Of course that hurts their resale value, but I don't care. 2) I know cute anime girls sell, but where are the nicely posed/outfitted male figures??? Shows like Banana Fish and Yuri on Ice have a lot of interest, but they don't have a lot of figures and the ones they do have are super expensive. Or what about older anime?? More figures for older anime!!

I definitely see the "keep my figures in good condition" point from both sides, especially if you live in a decent climate. The one thing I'm worried about with my figures is the Australian summer, which is coming up in a few months. I have had figures melt in 40C heat; clean-up job sucks, and I don't want to lose some of my prized figures. My old Ace (One Piece) figure got it so bad, his legs melted to the point where he could no longer stand on his base. The day I binned him was a sad one.

I think the industry is still way too swayed in the direction of female figures. Though the climate has changed (and improved) a LOT since I started collecting in 2010, the ratio is still deeply uneven. Male characters don't get made into figures nearly enough. And when they do, the quality usually isn't as good as their female counterparts. I think there's still a misunderstanding the market of figure buyers is male predominant, an attitude that needs to change.

Especially nowadays, where we're starting to see incredibly high quality figures drop for way less than they would have ten years ago.

Unpopular opinion: I think prize figures/Ichiban Kuji figures (Banpresto, Good Smile Popup Parade, Taito, Bandai Spirits, etc.) are better than scale figures. There's a few reasons behind this: 1) They are smaller and don't take up as much space. This goes for the figure and the box. This allows me to collect more of the franchises I love, fit more figures in my displays, and take up less storage space to house their respective boxes. 2) Environmental factors. Because these figures are smaller and less intricate, they use FAR less plastic. Unfortunately the end life for a majority of our figures is going to be landfills. As much as we hope that the people close to us will take our figures when we die, the majority will be thrown out with only some select figures being passed on. 3) There's less fluff. Don't get me wrong, an intricate base and effects around the character can be nice, but often times the massive amounts of effects surrounding the character take away from the character itself. Plus, again, it's a huge waste of plastic. 4) They honestly look just as good from the distance you'd normally view them from. Sure, if you get close, like within inches, you might see some imperfections (although I have quite a few prize figures without any imperfections at all), but from a normal viewing distance of a few feet they look awesome! Many of them are even in very cool poses with a lot of motion to them. 5) Price. They are obviously quite a bit less expensive with prices ranging from $15 - $60 on average while scale figures tend to range from $120 - $300 on average. This makes the hobby quite a bit more friendly on the wallet and on people who might otherwise not be able to afford this hobby.

My unpopular opinions: 1) Nendoroids are amazing. They are cute and are high quality and go for much lower prices than a scale figure that may not be up to par in terms of quality 2) Figures with ridiculously large bust sizes look weird to me. No offence to anyone who likes them, this is just my opinion. I just find that the size of some of them aren't proportional and make the figure look odd. It almost always turns me away from a figure.

As someone who can’t afford all the figures I want of the characters I love, I hate HATE seeing people buy figures of characters they don’t know. I’m jealous. I’m salty. I’m a hater. It’s your money so do what you want but I will resent you.

I feel like I'm the only one to never keep the box (except if there is extra face or anything) My room is so tiny, I have no place to store empty carton box, so I just throw them. People always get angry at that.

Same here! I think the main reason people keep boxes is to resell the figures, but I don’t want to ^_^

I'd rather have a boring/ugly base than an annoying support pole.

Love your content! I..actually like a clear base? I feel that sometimes, bases that are either too simple or two crazy end up cheapening the look of the figure. Atleast with a transparent, clear base, we can see the figure for what it is. A good example if Pop Up Parade figures. I LOVE the idea of them but.. I absolutely hate the frosted haxagonal bases that come with every single one. 😅

Love your videos, and I’m always excited when I see a new video ❤️ ...and I guess to some this is my unpopular opinion, but I watch your videos because your not overly succinct ☺️ If someone is looking for a super concise unboxing or figure video, there are KZitemrs out there that provide that experience they can watch. No need to tell you how to change! You simply have a different brand that is chill and casual. It literally feel like I’m talking with a friend because you’re neither overly formal nor too all over the place. And maybe I am biased as I can certainly ramble and talk a point to death myself (case is point is likely this comment)😅 Anyways, I guess my point is I agree! The charm of Gwyn Collects lies in the fact that you just show us your personality as it truly is. Keep doing what you’re doing!

My unpopular opinion: Is that I don’t get selling a figure.If you already have the figure thin just keep it.But I still understand if you sell a figure because there is some figures I want but can’t get if it wasn’t for people selling them.But I still don’t like the idea of it.

Srsly, ppl act like they need to preserve their stuff for when their clone is created in 10,000 years and their consciousness revives. Paint and plastic ain't THAT big of a deal.

My Megahouse figure is the poorest quality figure I own. I only keep it around because it's my first. The quality is close to what I'd assume a prize figure is (I don't own prize figures so can't directly compare).

Megahouse slaps tbh. Personally even if they have clear bases the poses are way better than the kotobukiya ones Unpopular Opinion : DBZ really need to take a break and free up some production for other types of series in the craneking/banpresto line.

Love love love the prize figure in the PC comment! So true! I through my prize figures literally anywhere I want. Lol most of them are not even in my collection room. :P My unpopular opinion: Nendoroids are the biggest/stupidest waste of money in figure collecting. P.s. MegaHouse's QC is some of the worst out there.
