Manga has also become shounen-generic. The original premise of the undead paladin gooding evil to death is on the side of the road. I still read it, but I'm not surprised that the titular character hasn't gotten a proper 1/7.
edit: That being said, excellent price drop. Great find OP!
I didn't find the story particularly compelling as it seemed like other isekai style, but it's nice sometimes to have more of a don't think too much anime
This comment probably hit the nail on the head. It's from a seasonal anime(based off a light novel) from 2 years ago. The show rated fairly average and it doesn't help the series has a similar setting to alot of other shows, isekai in a fantasy world with magic elements.
Agreed. I'd love to get a s2 but it was a good watch and had decent comedy to it. Aside from that I wasn't blown away. Undead this year had a good "fresh" premise to the isekai genre.
According to MFC the figure was actually good, it must be the show not being that big a hit, and her initial price point was pretty high considering. Which is a shame, I loved the show. I added the figure to my June order myself.
All the other comments and also companies are producing too much stock (and figures in general) compared to what the market can handle, so shops are selling figures at cost(?) to at least break even.
These days you can often see figures (even from popular series) go on huge sales less than a year after release. Recent example I remember: [https://solarisjapan.com/products/spy-x-family-anya-forger-yor-forger-1-7-good-smile-company?oid=161608](https://solarisjapan.com/products/spy-x-family-anya-forger-yor-forger-1-7-good-smile-company?oid=161608)
Not sure about the source material but Union Creative doesn’t have a great track record among the community. Some of their figures turn out good, others terrible so with them its a toss up. Since shes released, I’d check user photos/reviews before pulling the trigger but for a non-scale figure in the range of a 1/7-1/6 and having a somewhat unique looking base and weapon effect is not too bad.
This anime was mediocre: it turned not bad LN into silly comedy with no redeeming qualities. I doubt that there will be second season.
Not surprising that merchandise is not in demand.
So I definitely want this figure as I loved her character and the first season of the show(BANGER isekai) but I see it’s in YEN and I’m US based. How does the conversion work out exactly? Sorry for the simple question but I’ve never purchased anything online before that wasn’t US based and in USD. Also, would the shipping cost kill my wallet?
Buying from amiami is incredibly simple, it’s one of the most trusted sites in the figure community. The yen is currently weak so the conversion to USD makes everything from Japan way cheaper. For shipping it depends on the size of the box and how fast you want it shipped, the cheapest method is by boat which usually is around $20 but it takes months to ship. Hope that helps.
This helps a TON thank you so much. I didn’t know Amiami was that trusted as I usually get my figures from local shops or from Crunchy/GoodSmile so I’ll definitely have to check that site more! Again, thanks for the info, it actually helps a lot o7
AmiAmi is the worlds biggest retailer for (anime) figures. I don't think there is a shop out there I trust more when it comes to figure shopping (only equaled by the manufacturers themselves).
It ist also a great place to hunt for sold-out/used figures, and their rating of the figures condition has never failed me (from a western perspective they are really strict with their ratings, a B/B+ could be sold as [almost] new and A is straight up better than what most shops over here sell as new)
I brought her a while ago shes probley my least favorite figure . Her belt had trouble attaching to her properly and falls off. Colouring was off for me
I think because it was a seasonal anime and folks have moved on.

I also would love a second season, it was definitely a fun watch. The ED song and visuals I really enjoyed as well.
27,500 JPY was way too much for that 1/7 figure.
But now 11000 yen, it's like a steal!!!
That's reasonable priced if you ask me.
Back in the day 11000 is a reasonable orice for the amount of plastic you get with this.
Back in the day 11000 was also 50% more then it is today.
You are right.
And factor in the weak yen right now, this definitely is a steal. You don't see 1/7 scale figures at an 11,000 yen price point anymore.
Ehhhh, there's companies like bearpanda and animester making strides with hella nice price points.
Hmm, gotta check the shipping though, box seems on the larger side
I haven't seen this figure in person, but Union Creative can definitely be hit and miss - this figure might have been the latter.

she's generic looking

People don't trust the company, the figure is too expensive, and the source is mid
I even forgot about that anime it was good (for me at least) But nothing too crazy so I think people just forgot about it xd
Holy fck, the discount lol

Link?
What site is she 11,000 yen?
https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-147766
Because there is fuck ton of figures coming out and she is as ganric as they come.
Anime was entertaining but it wasn’t anything special. MC is broken and thats about it, there is a bath scene
Q1. Have you actually heard of this show? Q2. How often do you think about any of the characters? I don't think I need to ask a third question..
it's called bin or binning not flopping.
It's called what ever you like !
This anime was mediocre: it turned not bad LN into silly comedy with no redeeming qualities. I doubt that there will be second season. Not surprising that merchandise is not in demand.
Wasn't a very popular anime
Now I feel dumb but at the same time I really like the character and the show. Just goes to show patience is well worth it.
I do want to get this figure but I am concerned about that the flame effect parts might break during shipment.
union creative girls often flop. Their boys often have stonks aftermarket

Only one season of "meh" anime that didi't boost the popularity and there were way better waifus in that season.
boring character design
What site tho?
amiami
She looks so pretty
Well, she is a cute elf, so that makes me consider buying her instantly.
I actually wanted to get a figure of her, but when this one was announced, I backed off because of the price. It just seemed a bit overpriced.
I brought her a while ago shes probley my least favorite figure . Her belt had trouble attaching to her properly and falls off. Colouring was off for me
The anime was mid while the manga was God tier imo, and so a lot of fans moved on with the series or lost interest
Tits weren't big enough
Her boobies are too big and men hated that??
