HoardingFigures's Review With pictures(6)
Light Team Studio Future Diary Yuno Gasai Statue
HoardingFigures: She had an unfortunate jam & toast incident!

Her eyes are glowing in these photoshopped renders. That shading really looks good, but I wonder how much that will come across in the finished version?

Stabi: I think they might have used some black light for the shot, and her eyes were painted with neon paint. Maybe?

HoardingFigures: That's a CG render, not an actual photo.
Digital Monster Studio 1/20 Pokémon Tyranitar Statue
HoardingFigures: Oh, that took me a minute to figure out that one split color is just showing the two options together. I was very confused for a second, lol.
[Pre-Order] Black & Niuzi Studio 1/6 Jujutsu Kaisen Satoru Gojo Statue
HoardingFigures: I'm always wary of renders that rely too much on special lighting. His head will be in shadow with forward-facing lights (top and bottom), or direct overhead. You could rotate the figure, but that background screams "put this flush at the back of your display".
Ocean Studio Super Mario Mario Cup Statue
mikey!: This is so cute! I wonder if it's actually big or safe enough to drink from? Probably good for cold stuff
HoardingFigures: In one of the shots you can see the inside looks like it's got a metal lining. So maybe!

HoardingFigures: Those early renders with "realistic" hair made me wary, but the more recent solid design where it's solid resin looks so much better! What a great looking piece!
HoardingFigures: Oh no, I misunderstood! Those aren't older concept renders, those are silicone versions. Huh... If it can actually look like that, maybe... but I'd need to see a finished version.
[Pre-Order] PlanB Studio 1/6 Dragon Ball Gogeta Statue
HoardingFigures: I'm confused with that base. Is that yellow coloring paint or an LED? At this price, I doubt it's an LED, since that's additional complexity and cost. So the feet, legs, and tip of his belt are all yellowed in the design?

Stabi: I'm sure it's some sort of lighting, because it would look weird in the light with that kind of paint.

HoardingFigures: I'm not sure about that. If they just stuck a light sphere in Blender (or whatever modeling program), I wouldn't expect those deep orange parts on the wrinkled "cloth" of the belt.

I definitely would need to see a finished version before pulling the trigger on this one. That coloring is so distracting.
RS Studio Spirited Away No Face man Statue
HoardingFigures: This might just be my favorite looking Studio Ghibli figure ever. I can't really explain why, it just seems like a perfect piece to add to a Ghibli collection.

I think the bird is a little big, but it's been a while since I've seen the movie to confirm.
WeArtDoing Studio Original Sushi Fairies Statue
HoardingFigures: All of these food fairy figures are so weird to me. Like, they look cool... but to collect them?

Stabi: It feels like some kind of acquired taste... In other words, fetishes. I don't even know where these would fit

HoardingFigures: Ha! Acquired taste!

I dunno... In a hobby that's 90% lewds by volume, these food things almost never are. They fall into the art side of things IMO. I just can't see collecting them, but every time I see a listing, I do think they look cool.

If someone reading this has ordered these, please comment!
WeiYang Studio 1/6 Touhou Project Remilia Scarlet Statue
HoardingFigures: Oh wow, that's not a render, and it looks great! These are some well-lit and focused pics, so you can see some subtle light from that red ball on the bottom on her dress. It looks glowing - is there an LED in there?
[Pre-Order] Star Man Studio 1/6 Street Fighter Cammy White
Stabi: Man Cammy is so sexy even without showing a lot. This action figure though has a face a bit stiff imo. In the game her face looks very relaxed normally.
HoardingFigures: I agree, that face looks really off. I even went and looked at some SF6 pics to compare, and it's far more accurate than most silicone figures, but it just seems off to me.
