What were the announcements, kisama?

>>1463696
Merch

>>1463495
The plushies are cool

>>1463696
Shit tier merch and whatever the fuck an "Image Soundtrack" is (the girls don't know either). It's just shitty beep boop instrumental music.

>>1464020
Fuck you camellia is pog

>>1464786
I FUCKING HATE BEEP BOOP MUSIC

plushies > keychains = BGM > stands

>>1465502
>stands
?

>>1464858
I love beep boop music I'm very happy to hear we are getting more

>>1465502
Any images

>>1463495
I fucking loved the plushies

2000 yen for an acrylic stand.
3000 yen for a keychain

Before shipping.

Fucking hilarious

>>1465990
>Before shipping.
oh man

>>1463495
I'm buying all the plushies, seethe, nigger

>>1465988
Plushies are nice, but I might just stick with the keychains.

>>1465978

>>1465990
15,35€
23,02€
yeah, fuck no

>>1465990
>>1466251
>3000 yen for a keychain
Just one? Image implies its a set

>>1466374
It's all five yeah, but it's still a lot for 5 pieces of plastic

>>1465915
Acrylic stands like pic. The most recent ones to come out before EN's are gen 5's 3D celebration and crane game prizes of gen 5 and gamers I think

>>1466440
Seems relatively low honestly considering the astronomical prices a lot of idol merch usually goes for

>>1466374
It's a single keychain with 5 charms.

You cannot individually order charms.

>>1465990
christ, imagine the plushie prices.

>>1466615
50 shekels - if you seriously expected idol merch to be 'affordable', you were wrong, my good bitch.

Still getting it.

>haven't spent a penny on vtubers and hadn't planned to
>don't even have an oshi
>always had a soft spot for plushies
>always loved the tako design
>it was personally designed by ina
NOOOO I DON'T WANNA BE A PAYPIGGY

They aren't even that creative wtf. Commission an artist. Model something.

Why does cover hate EN?

>>1466939
It is one thing to pay an anime girl in the hopes she will read a message you sent. This is sad.
It is another thing to buy merchandise you genuinely want.

>>1465990
>>1466251
Speaking of the chain, they said it's going to be leather. Real leather or synthetics?

>>1466615
Assuming plushies are 20 cm they'll be at least 10000 yen before shipping.

>>1463925
>>1465502
>>1465988
>>1466175
>>1466939
Anons, the plushies weren't shown, simply announced.
Get your expectations in order.

Would it kill them to at least make some unique art for those shitty over priced acrylic stands? Trash

>>1466959
Using stock art for the acrylic stands is nothing new, they've done it for literally every holo before them (except ID, who haven't even gotten stands)

>>1467337
くそ

>>1467316
>tfw poor third worlder
>really want the tako
Fuck
Did they say when these are gonna be available and for how long?
Is other holo merch usually limited time or stock?

>>1467422
Yeah but i see so many better pieces of merch available for the jp girls. Like koronese cake head thing. Okayu and such. HoloEn feels like a low energy side project to cover.

>>1467365
This

>>1467552
>HoloEn feels like a low energy side project to cover.
Because it is?

>>1467422
Dunno, these stands look a lot better?

https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1149582329

Have a look and say thanks

https://youtu.be/LKTfBw0z2J4
https://youtu.be/LKTfBw0z2J4

>>1467451
It's Coming Soon™ so probably not for at least a month. As far as I know all merch is available for preorder for a month before sales stop.

>>1466251
man kiara looks so stupid with that dumb action figure shield and tiny fat sword, They don't fit the rest of her aesthetic at all.

>>1467747
They have dynamic poses so yeah

>>1467552
>HoloEn feels like a low energy side project to cover
That is exactly what it is

>>1467552
They got those cool merch things after a long time. HoloEN is literally only 6 months old, give them some time.

>>1466939
Paypig is just what poorfags use to cope, there's nothing wrong with buying merch.

>>1467793
Her aesthetic is being stupid

There is no lamer form of merchandise in the world than fucking acrylic stands. They're so fucking wack that I have to wonder who the hell is even buying these fucking things up. You know what this is? It's a miniature cardboard cutout that's taking up desk or shelf space. It's essentially a ghetto, poor man's version of owning a figure.

I don't give a shit about merch in general, but at least make it usable shit. I have seen acrylic stands for years well before the point I've even been interested in vtubers and I STILL don't get the appeal of these useless fuckin' things. Printing out the character's art on a piece of paper and then sticking it to the side of your monitor would get you the same fucking results.

Did other holos have plushies before?
Wondering what prices were if so

>>1467910
Based

>>1468021
A bunch just got announced for gen 3 and Sora-daisenpai, but I don't know prices. I have the Oruyanke from fubuki's birthday set, but that was 10000 yen

Globaltards expecting something good to be announced because they're too fucking new to realize they shouldn't get their hopes up makes me laugh so fucking hard

>>1467910
Based Luluposter

Just to compare, Vtuber for My Holo TV, who all have between 3000 and 10,000 subs all have a store where you can buy T-shirts, mugs, and wallscrolls.

Whereas Hololive EN, with between 800k and 2+ million subs can only get fucking overpriced acrylic stand and a keychain.

>>1467910
Fuck you, there are some really good acrylic stands out there. That being said, Cover can miss me with that lazy shit.

>>1464786
Camellia? That's pretty great.

>>1468375
They are probably using a generic merchandiser like cafepress

>>1466251
Power Ina stance, lets gooo

I was seething at first but now I feel bad for them because Cover clearly didn't give a shit but they still did the best they could to create merch on their own

I want a 5-man song from them so bad

>>1468472
You tell me: https://illusionryuvil.com/

>>1468179
Want to go full mast? I was expecting Cover to have contracted US & EU partners for the production and distribution of merch, not have to deal with booth or geekjack.

>>1468439
I would always rather have a high quality print of the art than a fucking stand.

>>1467910
I'd still put acrylic stands in a tier above keychains. Keychains are the laziest, most common merch and there's no way to display them besides plastering them on a tacky ass itabag

>>1468583
It never ceases to amaze me how these dumb fucking Japs cannot get the concept of proper merchandising through their thick skulls. They are missing potentially millions of dollars worth of profit.

>>1468179
I fucking knew it would just be shit merch, but the collab was so fucking bad that this was the final nail in the coffin for my ruined Friday night

Is it already all sold out?

>>1468709
Doesn't go on sale for another five minutes.

>>1468631
okay, i'll bite.
what's "proper merchandising"?

>>1468679
>collab was so fucking bad that this was the final nail
Highlights?

>>1468768
everyone died

>>1468766
Have you never looked at merchandise for literally anything else? T-shirts with a variety of designs, posters, buttons, figures, etc. And that's just considering WHAT to sell and not what's arguably handled worse: how to sell. American markets in particular love merchandise, so getting supply over here and a proper distributor without having to bother with proxies is a great step forward. I do not think you could possibly handle merchandise worse than they currently are.

>>1468584
I don't think the two are comparable. prints go on walls. Acrylic stands go on furniture. They're like compact figures that you don't have to worry too much about positioning correctly.

>>1467747
>>1467821
Those have dynamic poses but it's still just the stock idol outfit art they used for the holoFES blu-ray, not new art specifically for the stands

>>1468835
Except for Mori because the dumb fucking mod developers gave her immortality because of flavor.

>>1468768
It wasn't so bad if you're used to how shitty EN collabs are. Technical/sound issues throughout, no one can play the game well, Kiara being her usual self, etc.

It's just sucks that we're half a year in, and it's all still the same as the first day.

Yeah, I don't think so. I'll just buy knock-offs from Chinks on ebay.

I’m getting the album for sure. Gimme that chill bgm

>>1469038
That's without however much Customs decides to buttfuck you with.

>>1466939
Anon buying merch is literally something you own. If you buy a Pokemon or whatever other media franchise plushie, you aren't a paypig.

>>1469011
>It's just sucks that we're half a year in, and it's all still the same as the first day.
I'd say their chemistry has gotten a lot better. Ina and Kiara in particular really made the highlights with their ghost shenanigans.

>>1465990
$50 after shipping to US jfc

>>1466939
Treat yourself fag

>>1466615
Price doesn’t matter those things will sell out instantly

>>1469312
How quick compared to the GPUs this past release?

>>1466615
$150 if they're larger than a hand in size

>>1466102
shipping is $21. how are cover too fucking dumb for even the simplest distribution process

>>1466804
I don't want to start the console war, but....

And, order placed. Nice

>>1469436
Why bother when you know paypiggies will buy it anyway? I cannot fathom how someone can look at their grand total and be okay with large percentages of your payment just evaporate into thin air because they are too fucking lazy to distribute stock according to their markets.

i'm only mad about the bgm because i expected it to be original songs

>>1469588
Likewise. I thought Gura had been keeping shit under wraps for a while so when I saw her track I lit up. But when Mori's track kept playing with no vocals, I knew what was up.

>>1469470

>>1469504
If you are used to importing things from Japan expensive shipping is nothing new

>>1469588
It is? It's just not from the girls.

>>1469737
Well, this is exactly *why* I don't import shit from Japan or acquire it through third-parties instead.

Personally I'm more interested in how they refer to the group as "hololive English -Myth-".

It adds context to the statements from other Hololive girls that they aren't referring to HoloEN by generation. My guess is that future HoloEN talent will be grouped into units; Gen1 is the unit "Myth" and Gen2 will be some other unit like "hololive English -Legends-" or "hololive English -Traps-".

>>1467910
bro clear files exist. i cant think of any adult that would actually use those stupid ass things and japan just loves printing everything onto a clear file.

$60 posted for some keychains, I'm not surprised, just disappointed.

>>1470017
Gura gets $100 donations every 5 minutes. These payouts will absolutely buy this.

>over $60 for one(1) acrylic + shipping without customs

HAHAHAHAHAHA FUCKING COVER HAHAHAHAHAHA
MISS ME WITH THAT SHIT
CYA SUCKERS

I'd say vote with your wallet but paypigs are too retarded. Cover will keep this trend.

>>1470722
>paypigs are too retarded
Must suck being poor bro, can't even afford international products from a company you love. I doubt you're even a fan, just some poor fool that likes to boast about all the money he doesn't spend

>>1470722
It's really shitty both ways. You either don't buy it to protest the awful shipping, but if you do they'll interpret that as "they don't want merch". If you do buy it, then you're feeding their laziness and they'll continue this shit.

>>1470780
People who are smart with their money don't pay an extra charge of 20-40% just because the dumb nips they're buying from want to extort shipping fees.

>>1469737
EMS being expensive is nothing new, but there are much cheaper options for both volumetric weight and regular weight shipping.

>>1469962
I have like 10 clear files covering one wall in my closet. They're basically just small posters that you can jizz on

Every thing of this 6 months anniversary was someone's idea
>Ina plushies
>Ame game collab
>Mori music
>Gura keychans
>Kiara acrylics

>>1471006
No surprise that Kiara would contribute the worst idea.

>>1470886
Smart people save for things they want and have the income to support their hobbies. I don't see an alternative way to buy, so I buy. Better than getting is second hand or a fake from some chink site

>>1469774
It fathoms me how someone can buy something and think its of any value knowing its just a bootleg

>>1471120
>He REALLY doesn't know and it shows....

I am sure you're are the usual paypig who buys on Ebay and pays 400% markup price

I hate chink. But i rather go 2nd hand on MCR or even AliExpress than supporting cover jewness


Do your fucking reps newfang

>>1471271
>I am sure you're are the usual paypig who buys on Ebay and pays 400% markup price
I only ever buy from official stores.
>I hate chink
Clearly not enough

>>1471006
No surprise that Ina would contribute the worst idea.

>buying shitty acrylic stands and overpriced keychains you won't even use instead of waiting for inevitable figs or nendos

>>1471603
>Nendos will never happen because Cover knows they can't rip you off with them.

>>1471553
>worst
>the only merchandise worth a shit

>>1471603
I already own merch, I don't use the cup from Fubuki's birthday but I display plushes and will gladly add the keychains to my backpack

>>1463495
hololive merch is so shitty. why the fuck they don't just copy nijisanji like they already did for so many things?

>>1471675
You know several are being made right?

>>1470886
I know more about money than you do. You see, it's all relative. Of course you think $20 is a lot to pay for shipping, so you look for ways to save. But there are some for who that kind of money is like a penny to you, or perhaps you're so poor that even a penny is a significant sum. In that case there is no possible analogy and you can never begin to understand what's it's like to not worry about a sum of money.

>>1471271
Just leave it to ESLs to pretend hating chinks but still support the CCP.

>>1469370
takos will be gone instantly, next will be a tossup between bubbas and bloops. The death sensei's, and the chicken's will never sell out.

>>1471675
You know Fubuki, Matsuri, and Aqua are getting nendos

>>1471271
>I'd rather pay more or the same amount for a preowned thing
You dumb spic.

>>1471675
Matsuri nendo was revealed long ago, Aqua figure up for reservations and Gen 3 figmas were revealed a while ago as well, lurk more anon

>>1471792
>only mori and kiara have non-retarded fans
hmm

>>1467910
You're just mad because you didn't have 4000 yen (plus shipping) to buy Lulu's acrylic stand while it was available.

Guys who will be the first to do this?

>>1471675
Where the fuck have you been? There are multiple nendos, prize figs, and even figmas in development
Senchou's even getting a stupidly overpriced statue

>>1471764
>>1471867
>>1471799
We're talking about holoEN and geekjack jewish situation

>>1471898
i worded it a bit badly, Mori's will sell out, but Kiara's will not. KFP will be too retarded to buy in bulk for their oshi, and would prefer giving a portion to youtube.

>>1471951
Just wait a year. And geekjack doesn't decide their merch, it's a shitty distributor that only idiots use.

>>1466261
It is meant for simps. That way you can give your oshi money without Jewtube stealing %

>>1466440
All of them are blessed with their respective pussy juices.

>>1471951
>geekjack
>selling nendos
They don't even carry like 90% of holo merch...

>>1472016
>2022 Holomyth Nendo announced
>$199 + Tax only on geekjack cuz that's all that Cover cares about EOPS
And you guys will still buy it

>>1471951
you know this overpriced shit is on booth too right

>>1472155
You can buy nendos on fucking Amazon, Anon. Just stop.

Shitty products, but it's a better way to support them than giving Youtube/Google money.

>>1472155
...Goodsmile and multiple online retailers would be selling them (like the others in development
do you not know how this works

>>1466939
Tako design is just objectively great. I really hope they're affordable because its the first merch I would actually give a fuck about. All these keychains and stands are boring.

>>1466183
I only want one not all 5 fml

>>1467824
And yet Calli and Kiara are printing money while RBC and Mel are still laggards.

>>1466578
But that is because most idol merch is artificially expensive since it is connected to the brand of a popular girl, the items by themselves aren't worth that much and the same is true for the EN merch

>>1472214
Nah fuck that, sure it is nice to support the girls, but the second they start offering some merch the fans stop being fans and become customers. and customers need to demand a certain level of quality from a seller unless they don't care about being ripped off and have the seller settle in selling mediocre products, criticism in this type of cases is a good thing

They didn't even bother to make new art for the acrylics. The cheapest shit possible. they could have at least given them a unique pose or something.

>>1466183
Same I really like all the mascot designs but not willing to shell out for the plushies even though the keychains were expensive enough

>>1467222
Matsuri's plushie was 80cm that went for 10000 yen. I can definately see them going for 5000~7000 yen.

>>1468619
I bought them to look at in a couple years when this is all over

>>1469237
I’m 10000% certain I’ll resell my keychains in a ten year for a fortune, Vtubers will replace talk show hosts and the original holoEN girls will be looked at as timeless celebrities

>>1469943
HoloEn Queens and you’ll fucking like it white boy

>>1469693
Agreed; was excited, and then a bit disappointed.

Might've misheard the count due to tiredness cuz wageslavery, but I'm pretty sure during the MC stream where she was moving her house, mentioned she had (some/5) songs in the works.

Correct me if I'm being retarded, though.

>>1467316
I never pictured Bubba so chunky

Why they gotta do this to me man. $70 bucks just for Gura and a keychain. God damn.

>>1478581
But the keychain comes with 4 charms and an extra thing!

>>1478303
I'm sorry anon.... they're gonna be worth 100¥ at Mandarake at best

>>1471898
Nobody gives a shit about Mori's or Kiara's mascot. Not even they themselves do. It's just something thats there.

>>1478820
Pretty much. Ame cares most, then Ina, then Gura.

>>1478820
Only Ina and Ame care, Gura never even mentions hers it’s a shame cause Mori’s looks good and was part of why I got the keychain

>>1464786
Eh, the tracks sounded like generic garbage. Gura was trying REAL HARD to pretend she liked it.

>>1471006
No surprise that Ame would contribute the worst idea.
