i'm always surprised by how little official merch there is. Animate had HoloX and Holostars only. Well, you can buy BDs of the lives and Calli and Suisei's CDs too I guess

Don't they have stuff you can find in the Lawson/Family Marts still?

Looks like 11 nendos to buy from HL but Polka where.

Skadi is tempting

Stan Lee Nendo why
Shinobu scale huh
Atelier Ryza fans are either hobos now or must be oil barons.
I see as many Thighs as Clocks

Anything under 135 not including shipping to UK won't be subject to import tax/customs fees.
Suisei nendo showed off at the end of her live looked fucking cute.

Marine's Showa era live yesterday was a really good idea too.

Mikeneko suicide baiting again huh.
Didn't realise Kiara x Pomu finally collabing after all this time.

Woops

I recognise most of them, but getting tripped up by a couple.

Ayame Nendo pre-order get!

Smol plushies out

Anyone else into the big Holocure update?

Sakura Miko on the way.

It's been a minute since the new Holo Nendos went up for Pre-Order.
Not sure what's the hold up, but I do want me Suisei!

Now we wait for the rest to put out their solo versions.

Hololive Summer Fes just isn't the same this year.

I only recognise the first 2 waves of NijiEns, just how many are they up to?

Good MV with all the Hololive mascots, think the cover itself was good too.

Name that unit!

Oh apparently they're already calling themselves Star Animal

That DLC will hopefully do well.
Korone had appeared on many a stream in collaboration with the Sonic people so it's good to see it pay off.

With Hololive summer I thought I'd be hyped for the outfits but since they're all the same, it's the Yukatas that ended up being more hype.

While we get elaborate MVs from Marine, Aqua, Polka etc, Shion out here grabbing Kanaria for her original song.
Though that's a lot of originals lately, which is cool.

Polka's Live whew, tops if off with a new original and it's one of the better animated ones.
Upper tier but not quite Marine level, good song though

we got more Niji viewers than Holo here.
But how many are checking out the Koshien tournament, that appears to be their biggest event of the year.

This 5 person HoloID AoE stream was a great idea.
Moona and Kaela in arms races while Kobo chills.

so more Hololive Nendos were shown at this GSC thing.

So I'm now on the hook for 9 Hololive Nendoroids, as much as I like to whale on figures this does actually price me out of gunning for the Quintessential Quintuplets movie scales, Summer Melt, Lycoris Nendos/Scales, My Darling Dress Up scales, but will try to gun for the Skadi scale.

Kinda also wanna try switching from too many figures into other products like tapestries, wall scrolls, rubber mats and plushes which Hololive provides plenty of for birthday and anniversary events.

A ton of Fate stuff, they're back in a big way.

Gonna grab all the HoloNendos.

The scale for Lamy and Noel look good, but I wanna see if eventually Suisei will get a concert scale.

My Rushia is shipping and the other day another Saber arrived

and privated because of it.

Who are the main names to watch out for in SFV?
Are the top players still mostly familiar names or has a lot changed recently?

Mumei was responsible for the Challenger crash.

Marine got to 2m in a flash, she's streaming less than before, guess due to her voice, but feels like she's on a really hot streak where all her streams are either collabs people are really into, her doing event stuff, or playing games that suit her strengths.

Wonder if she'll have to do a 2m celebration live before the end of the year.

Miko had her 3D Live and followed it up with a original song with lyrics and music from Deco 27.
This is on the high end side for the merch though, 20k yen for the set, but she went all in with some larger items.
We've in the past seen some talents only offer tote bags with some pins/stickers and maybe an acrylic.

and we've got Holosummer to look forward to on top.

I assume this is also having an impact on not just PC, but consoles as well when it comes to games they might want to stream?

Just an hour to go until the Sana send off.
It's a shame it didn't work out, but maybe she'll still contribute good art for Cover.

The annoying dog name is a bit of a giveaway

Marine always goes all out with her original MVs, her Bday live was a hit, new outfit on top.
Seems like she's gonna hit 2m subs before Pekora.

and as per usual whenever Hololive talent have merch that includes handwritten signatures, those sell out in minutes.

Koyori's the best player in that final even though she's not been particularly lucky with her hands.

Also whoa

Ollie made the main channel

It seems like there's a good prize for winning the tournament.

But it's good to see a Mahjong game that isn't MahSoul just to see some variety

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/2/8/AAE33rAADgTI.jpg

That is some heavy duty promotion a bunch of these streams are them watching the main channel stream.

Rushia nendo paid for, I'm running into trouble as it seems now until October I'm gonna get a deluge of pre-orders go live and it's all having to be paid for at the same time lol.

How does one go about displaying 30-40 nendos

Gura nendo has arrived
Now to procure a jar

Manga, kinda feel that on average, the great manga panels will look nicer than the anime adaptations.
Also many manga series I read have a conclusion.
Lot of anime series where I watch a season then it turns out the show wasn't popular or that for some other reason we're not getting a 2nd or 3rd season.

Or it'll come out looking rushed cutting a lot of the source material and looking inferior to S1.

Considering I didn't pay any import tax (on Haachama at least), I'm definitely going to keep ordering directly from their Japan site for now.

Anything under 135 not including shipping won't incur import taxes.
So in our cases buying directly from GSC global makes more sense.

Now if you moved to say Ireland or Germany or w/e then flipped to EU would make more sense.
I wonder if just shipping directly to France from the EU store won't be better if I were to buy pricier figures.

JackMan posted...

Oh hey, my Haachama Nendo finally arrived. Gura's on the way some time this week too.

Came back from annual leave to find my Haachama.
Gura is also somewhere, waiting on Marine to get sent out.
Tokino Sora is on a boat with the remaining 2 Gamers.

Also for us merch buyers, GSC will be opening up in Europe.
Could be worth monitoring.

Though with the yen being so weak buying up and using their cheap standardised shipping fees has been a benefit.

I didn't watch much of her solo stuff, but she did good in collabs.

Shame that the Ina collab was essentially a send off as that was what many eagerly wanted from the get go.

I mean...it is

Streams featuring Fubuki still full of Chinese bot spam.
It's all so tiring

Most skilled trainer without plot armour?

Kanata and Coco are no longer living together it seems.

It's a pretty distinct voice

Oh wait they got Rushia too

I do wonder if this means that going at it solo just doesn't cut even for someone like her.
The line was always she's doing for creative freedom,but I'm sure there's still a tradeback for joining Vshojo in exchange for w/e resources they may provide that she didn't have on her own.

Also guess that puts the kibosh on her showing up as Coco for like special guest appearances?
Always felt that although she graduated the door was open for appearances whenever she felt like it.

Yeah, thought she was done with being corpo.

DHL can be higher than the cost of the item on Amiami and on GSC's shop it's EMS only

As of July 1st EMS is back on the menu for the UK.

I am now anticipating a deluge of figures to come in from GSC assuming no fuck ups.
Marine, Gura, Haachama and Miko nendos + Fate shit.

Fubuki/Mio popups with Tokino Sora Nendo on a boat though so I expect that shit to arrive in October....

The backlog is slowly reducing.

They are selling the Marine Nendo in a limited run.
My Marine Nendo has not yet shipped even though I've paid for it because UK is fucked thanks to current ongoing conflict blocking the skies.

So anyone else trying out HoloCure given that it's free?
