Azz Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 So today it was revealed that Edelgard will be getting a figma by Good Smiles Link This is the same company that gave us the Lucina and Corrin figmas, the Tharja, Cordelia and Camilla statuettes and the Marth, Caeda, Corrin, Elise and Sakura nendoroids. Hopefully Dimitri and Claude also get figmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SockPuppet Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Ooh, take my money if they make Claude!! I have their Lucina, and she is AMAZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Yeah, if Edelgard gets one, the guys each deserve one too. Not everyone favors Edelgard. I like her, but Claude is my favorite... Though figmas are so expensive anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yexin Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 yeah, let's not fool ourselves she's the only one getting a figma, and another female character's gonna get another quite pricey static figure, and nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Yeah, it's not a coincidence that their only FE figmas are female characters. Don't hold your breath for Claude or Dimitri. F!Byleth or whatever other female character gets popular is all I can see happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I don't get why only females have gotten figmas. That's really not fair at all. In fact, it's super shitty and basically a fuck you to the super popular males and their fans. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially between the most popular males and females. I have no doubt an Ike figma would sell like crazy. He is possibly the most popular FE character period. I know I would pay the expensive price for him, especially if it was RD Ike! Though it would surely be PoR Ike instead because he's liked a bit more. But maybe we'd get figmas of both too, who knows?

It makes no sense. "Oh, Ike is more popular than Camilla, but Camilla would sell more anyway because she's a woman with big boobs." Where is the logic here? (I'm pretty sure Ike is more popular than her too, given how high he's scored in several FE popularity-related things. He was first place in a Famitsu poll, first place for males in CYL as well as having the highest combined vote total there, and he and Camilla faced off in a Heroes gauntlet too, and Ike's team was bigger by far.) I'm not as into chibi as I am realistic figures. I'd rather have a realistic Ike figma. Edited July 26, 2019 by Anacybele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer figmas. Chibis can be cute, but I just prefer the more realistic figmas. Unfortunately, no characters I like enough have gotten a figma.

Any appeal to other audiences is a mere coincidence, these things are being made for the otaku crowd exclusively because that group will buy every figma they make as long as it's waifu material. Even as someone who loves Edelgard and hardly cares about the other two lords at all I know they're not trying to get my money with this choice.

Got any proof/evidence that only otaku people buy them? I'd buy an Ike figma and I highly doubt I could be called an otaku. 1 hour ago, Yexin said: don't ask me why IntSys' guys do what they do, i don't work for them talking about 3H, personal preferences aside, they probably agreed with GS company to make an edelgard figma months ago, and since she's undoubtedly the most pushed character of the game, it honestly only makes sense for them to push her even more wih a dedicated figma, despite how much people can dislike this (me being one of them) i don't know what sells more between vagina or penis, probably no one knows for sure, and maybe neither IntSyd does this is... literally just what they ususally do, there's no point in complaining about this (here in particular) either every single person on this planet stops buying figmas representing female characters, or nothing will change Sigh...

Dimitri Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 oof. I saw it coming. I was thinking the other day how cool it would be if they dropped figmas for all.of them specially their time skip designs. Not holding my breath on Claude and Dimitri though. If the company wants more money I'd do all three because serious I'd drop the money for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But among the people who buy figmas in Japan, and especially at the time the Camilla figma was released, it's a no-brainer that a Camilla figma would sell better than an Ike figma.

Cyan1456 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 That... that was REALLY fast. I'm not usually a collector (aside from that Fate/Prototype Arthur Nendoroid) but I'll be curious to see if they add the other lords. I'm personally hoping for an Ashe figma though it isn't likely.

Interdimensional Observer Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I'd rather have Waddle Dee: Very simple, and not yet painted, but cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Villager Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Yeah, don't get your hopes up for Dimitri and Claude figures. FE has rather bad record with male ones: they either aren't made and when they are made they don't sell that well. Marth nendoroid was shelfwarming for a long time and people weren't super eager to buy him even when he went on sale. I don't remember much about Chrom chara-forme sales but the figure has some issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSbardock84 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Heck yeah, that's awesome. I haven't liked the other characters they've done enough to buy one. I love Tharja, but that one is too sexualized . . . Anyways, these are ridiculously expensive though. We'll see how much for me to decide to buy it. So far Edelgard is my favorite Three Houses character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainer_derp Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Guess who's going to be featured on "that" figurines subreddit... Shame we'll never get the guys though. I'd totally buy Claude and post timeskip Dimitri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SniperGYS Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Good Smiles favor the girls always... is the same with Pokemon, most of the figures girls 😞 Ufff, no Good Smiles, if you want my money gimme Dimitri! And Gladion from Pokémon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
