We used to make streams, now we make money

>>72307429
Excuse me it's 230$+taxes+shipping

>>72307429
thats called being successful vtuber anon

>>72307429
I'd buy a Lamy one in a heartbeat, Gura? nah

>>72307429
That shit is 200 dollars?!? What the FUCK is cover thinking???

>>72307429
>Make a hoodie for a character
>It's not even the same design as the characters hoodie
Would it have killed them to add the little red mouth design and pouches?

>>72307563
$230 + tax + shipping. But don't worry. If you buy it in Japan it's only ¥25,300, or $167. Because fuck her non Jap fans, like always.

>>72307429
I'm assuming the price is because it's not shitty Chinese made garbage but I'm not buying it regardless, for don't even know who this streamer is

>>72307712
>I'm assuming the price is because it's not shitty Chinese made garbage
Anon, I..

>>72307712

KEK.

>>72307661
>English vtuber with a primarily American english-speaking audience
>Target merch primarily at JPs
Cover still doesn't know how to deal with EN from a business prospective huh. It's been YEARS, they have three gens, and you're telling they haven't even bothered to get a merch manufacturing and distribution deal closer to the states?

>>72307712
>Not cheap Chinese shit
LMAO they didn't even bother to match guras design

>>72307661
you're getting fucked with an 8-inch dick and what stands out to you is the guy in the next stall only getting 4 inches?

>>72307429
Seems like a pretty good reason not to stream. What's the problem here?

>>72307836
I'm not getting fucked cause I'm not buying that garbage. I hope this is their worst performing merch deal so shit like this doesn't come around again.

>>72307661
Unironically probably cheaper to buy from the JP site and pay their shipping.

>>72307563
They're thinking $$$, and there are many chumbuds who are happy to give it to them.

>>72307429
who made the hoodie? arcteryx?

>>72307712
Well it's made in Taiwan so technically you're right.

>>72308604
Taiwan is China so technically he's wrong.

That had better be a high quality hoodie. The inside might be laced with gold or something.

>>72307776
This is why they are creating an office in the US. Its late, but finally they are doing something.

>>72308604
Is it made in Taiwan? Because the product page clearly states China.

>>72309001
It is, Gura told me so.

>>72308873
Yeah but it's the better china.

>>72309111
The majority of hologoods are made in Taiwan

>>72307429
Blame Cover instead of cherry picking Gura. They said they'll do this.

>>72307429
Based, giving us the merch we asked for

>>72309304
Why should you blame cover for providing merch?

>>72307429
>>72307563
>>72307661
stop being poor

>>72307429
The brand is known for expensive things, not really a pricing decision on Cover's or Gura's part.

>>72309232
What do I care about the majority? It says China on the product page of the hoodie in question.

>>72309304
what the fuck is anpanman

>Composition / Outer shell: 65% polyester, 35% cotton Other fabric: 100% polyester Lining: 100% polyester
265% plastic. You're buying a mega-binbag.

>>72309739
>vtuber merch is overpriced garbage
no shit. people buy acrylic stands at 10 times the manufacturing cost

I think this newest batch of merch looks great,
the deep blue color is 10/10 for me

>>72307429
Woah! We're eating good, chumbs!

o p t i o n a l
m e r c h

these people are acting like she's forcing fans to buy it.
there's a significant difference.
she's offering fans the opportunity to buy it.
gura's fanbase loves her merch, of course that encourages more merch. it's the way that goes.

>sisters getting mad other corpos are selling merch that isnt AI art shirts or some shitty keychains
LMAO

>>72307776
Most asian companies still don't have a clue how communities outside of japan work. Their attempt of copypaste home policies and norms to overseas is always the source of much comedy. Not even limited to vtubers.

>>72310031
>this makes it okay to charge 200$ for cheap Chinese garbage
Okay

>>72310273
Find me a single other vtuber that sells shit like this for cheaper and then we'll talk

Jokes aside, it's a mascot for some kids show, where man has anpan as a head.

>>72307429
I'll be honest, I want my oshi to be successful, but i don't want her to turn into PIkachu level of success.
I'm kinda happy Gura takes all the attention away from the other ENs.

unappealing

>same poorfags that couldn't pay for capture the moment are now whining about merch prices

>>72307712
it's "designer" clothes, aka made in sweatshops in Asia/India then shipped to Taiwan to have a zipper put in and now they can claim it was made in Taiwan.

>>72307661
Cover does have that Disney mentality where they rip off customers by charging different prices for Hololive merch depending on the region. That will only get worse after the opening of Cover USA since the main reason for that subsidiary is to increase revenue from merch sales. Hololive going after the luxury market during a global recession is a little tone deaf.

>>72307776
You are a side gig, baka gaijin

>>72310273
fuck off vaush

>>72307429
The backpack seems like the only good thing of the set. For the love of God don't buy that watch, it was made by inexperienced chinese hands and it's probably incredibly shit.

>>72310746
>poorfags
nigger I went to the EN concert and multiple conventions across the US, shut your ATM ass up.

>>72311324
Sure you did

>>72310746
My man that's a chinese made hoodie, why would a sane person buy THAT instead of a knockoff that would be exactly the same but for a tenth of the price?

>>72311414
yes I did I've been to the sofi stadium multiple times for charger games and even bought second row seats for connect the world, that's worth more than this cheap garbage that's marked up at least 200% cause gura is wearing it on concept art.

>>72307776

"Good" business decisions.

>>72312022
Goddamn you are butthurt
Your seethe is delicious
You've been shedding tears over Gura for 4 years now with 0 signs of stopping, are you going to put it on your grave how long you wasted your life antying hololive?

I still don't get why you subhumans seethe about some random merch of a vtuber you hate. Just don't buy it?

>>72312022
>"Good" business decisions
with how successful it is,YES

>>72307776
Have sleeping under a rock for the past month or something? They are opening a subsidiary in US for that sole reason.

>>72307776
Is not all that relevant who she is targeting as a streamer. Most of her events and collaborations with companies have been in Asia, and her merch has been selling like crazy in Asia.

>>72307833
Maybe because this is something you can actually wear, without looking like a fucking weeb in public? Something fans of Hololive, especially those in the West, have asked for years?

>>72311506
Proof or fuck off

>>72312605
PLEASE.
SELL.
FUWAMOCO PLUSHES AT REASONABLE PRICES GOD DAMMIT.
I want them but I'm too poor to buy a ruffian for 120 USD with that shipping, let alone two!

>>72307661
Yeah, and a manga volume is 3.3 dollars in Japan, and $9.99 in America. Is it the first time in your life you heard of prices adapted to the purchasing power of the country? Plus, there are no tariffs and duties in Japan. While they have to pay additional taxes when they sell in US and other countries.

>>72312736
kill yourself

>>72309304
Hello Kitty chads stay winning

>>72309304
I'm kind of surprised that Shonen Jump doesn't have a higher merchandise percentage.

>>72317330 (me)
Oh, One Piece, Dragonball and Yugioh are separated. That makes more sense.

I love that none of these arguments ever come up regarding suisei, only gura. Curious...
>but muh streams
Lol so one has to pass an arbitrary number of streams first before they can legit rip you off? Kekerooo

>>72307429
she doesn't decide the prices or the amount of merch that is sold so how do you twist this as something she did wrong?

Gura antis are so stupid.

Price + design is not worth it. That’s all. Not like gura chose how it looks or whatever. Probably was just given a draft and she mumbled yeah it looks cute and never thought about it again.

>>72320822
>>72321343
>>72321597
Yeah it's really stupid at this point when other Holos have whole streams decided to showcasing the merch but it's crickets when that happens. Anyway if anyone really cares blame Cover.

Have you seen Faunas merch? Gura may not decide the prices, but she definitely has responsible for design

>>72322165
They aren't carrying built up animosity like Gura is because they (at least pretend to) give a shit.

>>72307429

It looks cheap as fuck

>>72307429
I'll buy two just to shit on these poor seanigs

>>72307429
And all that money is gonna get funneled to Holostars EN projects lmao

hee hoo sisters

>>72307712
It would be an amazing great price if that was the case, I'd happily support that, but it's not, sorry. I even like the design desu.
You pay for the brand and not the quality and in this case the brand is Gura.

>>72307429
my poncho has almost the same design... and cheaper.

>>72307429
But that's not Elira though???

>>72307429
okay, faggot

>>72324620
>schizo straw man
Nah but thanks anon.

>>72309036
In California, anon...

it could always be worse

It looks lower quality than something I could get from fucking walmart for 30 bucks...

>>72307429
Mascots aren't streamers

Imagine being poor.

>>72307429
>buy bargain bin unbranded blue hoodies in bulk from some indian sweatshop

lmao

>>72307429
lol

>>72307429
:3

>>72307429
Gura doesn't have female fans, so who would even wear this besides trannies?

>>72307429
You dont understand. If we buy enough hoodies cover will congratulate her on selling out her hoodies and then shell have to at least say "Thank you chumbies! I wuv you!" or something to that extent so by buying a hoodie we at least get some form of communication from her

>>72307429
>2XL
That's a large in japan.

>>72307429
thanks for me reminding me to buy it
