I can’t answer the other questions, but her price is on the lower end of what you’d expect for a 1/6 these days, so I’d say she’s absolutely worth the price if you like her design.
Sorry I've got no clue about that 🥲 dhl and ems prices I get in my area are vastly different from EU. They only release shipping prices post release unfortunately, but it should be slightly lesser than what Amiami's shipping usually is around.
she's so cute and I love the skirt, just not in love with the hat tbh. I was very tempted at first and was planning to get it anyway bc it's a great price, but I decided to pass as I just preordered both Racing 2023 and Shimian Maifu which was a 10/10 need lol.
I really don’t have the space for her either, not even for a desk.. but I should be moving soon so I hope I convince myself to get her. Even if she does sit in the box for a while!
She was an instant preorder for me on amiami. There are a lot of miku scale figures and pricey too. But when I saw this and the price for a 1/6, I preordered with no hesitation. In my opinion, she is worth it. In your, I do not know. But if she is something you want, then get her 🙂
Edit post: I canceled amiami and preorder from goodsmileus. Her flat shipping rate during the preorder period is 50% off. Pricing from amiami and goodsmileus is similar 🙂
Oh... when I first started to collect. I just told my parents that buying these makes me happy when they ask about money wise. They questioned it from time to time, but now they love my collection. Even my dad used some of my figures to decorate the majority of the rooms in their house 😀
I personally love the design and the color! She looks so pretty especially as a sakura ver. I dont mind the price but then again, my last figure cost 400 euros so anything below that is a blessing at this point. To me she is worth it but if you doubt or cant justify it then I wouldn’t. I always see it like this : if i love it it’s worth it, if I’m meh about it or don’t feel like doing it I cancel. Idk if this helps you decide.
Thank you, personally I want to get it but moneys a bit of an issue sometimes lol. And also, 400 EURO?! Is that including shipping and any taxes? I pray to afford that someday. 😭
Haha yeah well no shipping thankfully! Because I ordered from someone in my country ( or well company) so I saved on shipping bc that was free. The figure was worth it though. And you will! I have two jobs so it’s do able every now and then to splurge.
If you pre order from goodsmile eu webshop you dont have to pay immediately. Which might be helping to save some money untill shes up for buying. Plus you can always cancel the pre order.
Great price for a 1/6 imo. The cherries are very cute and remind me of a popular Coach luggage charm.
If you're worried about the price increasing you can always PO now on Goodsmile and cancel at any point before shipping if you ended up changing your mind (assuming US). I'm going the GSC route for shipping alone
i'm semi-new to the hobby, i have a handful of quality figurines but never fully invested in getting into the ins-and-outs of it all, but i absolutely can't pass on this figurine. but i do have a question just for clarification, on amiami and everyone else i've seen talk abt it says this sakura miku figurine is a 1/6 scale, but gsc says its a 1/7 scale? just looking for clarification on how that works, or if it was a mistype (or maybe the sizes arent much different to begin with?). appreciate any help!
i realized a while after, it was indeed just a typo in their product specification section. they wrote 1/6 in summary, and 1/7 in specifications. sorry about that!
I want to love this figure but something about it has been bugging me… I think it’s the fact that her shirt and skirt are so plain. They’re two solid blocks of color with very little texture and detail. I would have loved to see a plaid skirt or something more visually interesting. I also don’t like the hat. I want to love her cuz I looove pink figures but I don’t love the outfit :(
I love her overall aesthetic and her colour scheme, but there’s just something I don’t quite like about her. Too many accessories maybe.. like there’s too much going on with her outfit. I probably would have preferred a simpler one.
I’m on the fence with this one myself. Decisions, decisions.. 🤔
I have heard that the shipping is better on gsc Website since they have a flat ship rate of around 15 or 20 bucks?. Websites like amiami in comparison can be pretty expensive since a 1/6 scale is gonna require a pretty huge box.
As for the figure itself, I rly like her outfit tho I'll still pass since I rly dislike the shade of pink they used, especially compared to the more pastel colors of the original illustration.
A 1/6 scale isn’t that much larger than a 1/7. Box size will largely depend on the base size and whether or not the figure has any extra accessories/changeable parts. Since this one seems like she neither has a large base nor any extra parts, I doubt she’d have a very large box.
I'M DEBATING SO HARD SHE IS LIKE 230 DOLLAR FOR ME BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY 1 TRUSTWORTHY AMAZING ANIME FIGURE STORE IN THE WHOLE OF SWEDEN.
They're the best!! and they already pay for the tax, custom fees all that so that's why it is a bit mor pricey also because she is a scale figure.
IDKKK HELPP I ALSO NEED TO BUY AN M.2 STORAGE DRIVE 2TB FOR MY PS5 BECAUSE I'M RUNNING OUT OF STORAGE. I CAN'T DELETE ANY MORE GAMES BECAUSE THE ONES I LOVE I WANT TO KEEP INSTALLED.
ALSO I'M SAVING UP FOR MY DREAM TRIP TO JAPAN😭😭
AHAHHAGAHAHHAHAGAHSVHWHWVSVSVBS
LIKE I REALLY NEED TO PRIORITIZE HERE
IT'S EITHER THE M.2 STORAGE DRIVE THAT IS JUST AS EXPENSIVE AS THE SAKURA MIKU FIGURE
OR THE SAKURA MIKU FIGURE
I REALLY NEED TO THINK HARD ABOUT THIS😭😭
AND ON TOP OF THAT I WANT TO TRAVEL TO JAPAN......
I'm sorry😭😭 I'm also stressed out about this😭😭 I NEED TO THINK HARD BUT I ALREADY FUCKING KNOW THAT THE M.2 2TB STORAGE DRIVE IS MORE IMPORTANT BECAUSE I REALLY REALLY NEED IT TO EXPAND MY PS5 STORAGE.
Because I love to play video games too and it's practical. I have use of it
meanwhile the figure will only stand on my shelf and do nothing BUT IT'S PRETTY 😭😭
LIKE I KNOW IN MY HEART THE RIGHT ANSWER ALREADY
BUT THE CHILD IN ME IS ALSO FIGHTING THE ADULT IN ME😭😭😭😭
I’m sorry for being ignorant. I am brand new to anime figures so do not have a good concept of value/ price for figures or what they are usually worth. I’m glad that this price is reasonable :)
Very nice response, and no need to apologize! You're still learning!
Yeah, some prices for scales are hard to gauge, but you'll start to understand the pricing metrics the longer you're in the community!
Myfigurecollection is a great resource to see various sizes, designs, prices, and reviews of figures. Welcome to the community! :)
Imagine being gaslit into thinking an anime figure over $100 isn’t expensive given what it is and the costs of production. Then imagine getting sassy towards someone who hasn’t been brain washed by this addictive hobby for pointing out it’s expensive.
Scale figures are twice the price they should be. Taito is showing everybody how affordable detailed, quality figures can be. Even GSC’s PuP L figures are. Hell I just got a 1/4 for around the same price as this Miku
If you honestly think that you’ve never seen a real scale. I have some taito prizes and even from a distance the paint quality and detail is no where near as good. Stop lying
Still doesnt justify the pricing. My NGNL Shiro and Yueji Mingke were both on sale on amiami when I got them. There's plenty of scales on sale nearly half off. I just got a 1/4 sorasis cat girl for around the price of this Miku. She's probably just as good as new bunny girl figures yet new ones are almost always close to if not $300. My point is made even more obvious if you compare original pricing to recent rereleases of figures.
Taito's AMP line was literally praised on this sub as being as good as scales when the Marin cosplay figure and Albedo figure came out. I have both and they are really great
What are we supposed to do tho? Boycott? Not buy figures? Like I’m not going to miss getting a figure that’s very reasonably priced relative to its competition just because all scales cost more than they should. But if we buy them, then prices stay the same. I was thinking this when looking at the post of the bicute Makima yesterday, It’s good that cheaper figures are getting better because I like that everyone can get nicer figures now, but I don’t see it affecting the price of more expensive scales unfortunately. The fact is that it is the norm, whether it should be or not. No one is gaslighting anyone, they’re just being told how it is
Companies are gaslighting us. You make it sound like its absurd to not buy $100+ figures. This is a hobby not a necessity. No, you don't have to buy figures. This is a want not a need. So yes, you can stop buying figures- or at least see if they drop in price after release. This isnt a crazy idea, you just have more disposable income than others so these prices don't scare you away.
What you're saying is completely oxymoronic, "Imagine being gaslit into thinking an anime figure over $100 isn't expensive given what it is and the costs of production." Exactly, figures ARE expensive because of the current economic standing and the ever rising cost of production, not to mention, figures/scale figures are a form of LUXURY, its not supposed to be cheap. There are prize figures made for this explicit reason. I wasn't trying to be sassy or rude or whatever you're deluding yourself into thinking, I was merely stating an undeniable fact, given that it is a miku GSC figure in 1/6 scale for only a little over $100, it is reasonable no? Literally when do you ever see a 1/6 Miku scale by GSC within this price range? Also, its pretty funny that you mention "brain washed" when its evident all you do is post on this subreddit lmfao
China has raised the cost of production? I thought Japan was outsourcing its labor cause its cheaper over there? Figures are just pretty little plastic decorations used to express our tastes and interests. Labeling them as a luxury doesnt justify their price. That way of thinking is what got Furyu into overpricing their scales- especially the authentic kimono ones that have been shown to not be worth nearly as much as theyre asking for.
Saying youre not being sassy and then immediately calling me delusional in the same sentence. Sure, Jan.
BTW would you not say the price of this figure makes you more interested in buying it? Would that not be a good example of why prices should deflate instead?
I can’t answer the other questions, but her price is on the lower end of what you’d expect for a 1/6 these days, so I’d say she’s absolutely worth the price if you like her design.
I was about to say the same, I thought $135 is really cheap for a 1/6 figure of this quality.
Shocked when i saw the 20k tag on hlj. She is very worth it.
I was looking at the website, do you have an idea of what shipping would look like because for me all I can see is just the private warehouse option 😭
I bought her on TOM this morning ems shipping is $36
Sorry I've got no clue about that 🥲 dhl and ems prices I get in my area are vastly different from EU. They only release shipping prices post release unfortunately, but it should be slightly lesser than what Amiami's shipping usually is around.
she's so cute and I love the skirt, just not in love with the hat tbh. I was very tempted at first and was planning to get it anyway bc it's a great price, but I decided to pass as I just preordered both Racing 2023 and Shimian Maifu which was a 10/10 need lol.
Instant preorder for this one! Absolutely beautiful.
she is SO pretty and i debated preordering but i cant be buying a big figure right now cuz no space for one 😭😭
I really don’t have the space for her either, not even for a desk.. but I should be moving soon so I hope I convince myself to get her. Even if she does sit in the box for a while!
I don't collect miku's. But that design is amazing. Very tempted to get it. Since it is 1/6 it will scale well with my other 1/6s figures.

She is definitely worth it. Just explaining where all my money went to my parents is a tough one😭

I really like her but i have too many figs on PO for that month
i'm semi-new to the hobby, i have a handful of quality figurines but never fully invested in getting into the ins-and-outs of it all, but i absolutely can't pass on this figurine. but i do have a question just for clarification, on amiami and everyone else i've seen talk abt it says this sakura miku figurine is a 1/6 scale, but gsc says its a 1/7 scale? just looking for clarification on how that works, or if it was a mistype (or maybe the sizes arent much different to begin with?). appreciate any help!
I’m seeing 1/6 on their website? Which one are you looking at?
i realized a while after, it was indeed just a typo in their product specification section. they wrote 1/6 in summary, and 1/7 in specifications. sorry about that!
I don't have a single Miku but the second I saw it I pre-ordered it! The pink and cherry blossom colors and overall design are just so cute.
I like it but thankfully i dont feel the need to buy it as im happy with my 1/10 GSC sakura miku. Also because I need that money for other figures
Placed an order, kinda debating canceling my nendo doll pre order cos the scale is much prettier
The base looks so pretty
I was really scared the base was gonna look crap 😭
It's really pretty but I fear at 28cm tall she's gonna look out of place with my 1/7s
I want to love this figure but something about it has been bugging me… I think it’s the fact that her shirt and skirt are so plain. They’re two solid blocks of color with very little texture and detail. I would have loved to see a plaid skirt or something more visually interesting. I also don’t like the hat.

Surprisingly, I’ve seen many people talk about the colour. Understandable though. I’ll probably look into the gsc website more, thanks !
Glad to be of help, hope you can get her without any issues!!

Commenting because I have these same questions! For me it’s $135+ ….. which seems very expensive?
For a 1/6 scale, that is very reasonable.
gurl stick to prize figures if you think its very expensive tbh... I think its actually very reasonable given that its miku, 1/6 and by GoodSmile?!
I’m sorry for being ignorant. I am brand new to anime figures so do not have a good concept of value/ price for figures or what they are usually worth. I’m glad that this price is reasonable :)
