Indie will always be superior to corpo

>>79904163
how much do indies have to pay in order to get this deal anyways?

>>79904163
My guess would be connections. Probably some of the myriad of artists she commissioned knows a guy who knows a guy who works for the company that makes and decides who to Nendoroid.

>>79904163
>nendo
>funko
all space-wasting slop

sisters... when will she stop winning...

She really should be thanking nijisanji, the suicide grift is the best thing that's ever happened to her

>>79905090
Nendos have actual articulation, face options, and accessories. They're action figures. Funkos aren't.

>>79905157
Niji didn't realize the hornet's nest they kicked off when they tried to pull a Zaion on her. Witnessing their downfall feels so cathartic.
>>79905280
I'd argue that even in the timeline neither Niji nor Doki mentioned any suicide attempts, Doki would still get the overwhelming support of companies, gamedevs, artists etc she got in this timeline.

>>79904163
But that's an old model.

>>79904163
>Doki vs Holo
Hey, Antonio Silva. Slow day?

Wake me up when she gets a Figma.
Love Doki BTW.

>>79905570
figmaballs lol

>>79904163
She probably threatened suicide if she didn't get one. The last thing that company needs is for someone to find an obese Chinese woman with an electrical cord wrapped around her neck.

>>79905509
Toy production takes time.

>>79904163
>Nendo of OG Doki
>Right after she ditched the model for a yellow Selen rehash
???

>>79904163
Real recognize real.

>>79904163
She's bigger than all HoloEN combined

>>79904163
Good smile is basically a twitter artist with commissions, they'll put them off to hop on whatever is trendy at the time

>>79904163
>gets a nendo before Advent despite streaming on doki just recently
How is she more powerful than Yagoo?

>The reason why Justice doesn't have a fifth member is because Doki is that secret 5th member.
I like this RRAT.

>>79904163
Turns out networking is important in business, who knew?
She was smart enough to build herself up as a brand while in Niji, instead of coasting and being a wallflower.
You can't just do the bare minimum and expect the same level of success. Most of the time, at least.

>>79905952
Indeed.
???

>>79905702
Now can you type it again without crying

>>79906367
>Getting a shitty piece of space wasting plastic is good networking

>>79905090
Nendos have eyes and mouths

>>79905509
Kek what would they think?

>>79906543
If the plastic makes money, absolutely. Now you're starting to understand capitalism, anon.

>>79906398
Do you feel that it's not a risky business when people may not purchase it because it's an older model?

>>79906398
>Sell old model
>Collectors will see it as fomo
>Release new model next year and don't produce anymore older models
>Make more money

>>79906851
"Oh wow a doki model before she got her redesign, this is gonna be a collector's edition and worth a lot of money in the future!"
Same reason misprints and first print versions of things are worth a lot of money.
Granted we're talking about a vtuber here, but we're seen people lament not buying mio's jacket the first and probably went on ebay or whatever to buy a scalper's fee to get it.

>>79906678
Do they have capitalism in brown foot land?

>>79906192
>before Advent
Gonna be waiting a hell of a long time for that. they haven't even gotten around to finishing kiara's yet.

>>79907254
Capitalism is an economic ideology not cultural. Even the chinks practice it even while pretending they're not a communist shithole. Someone somewhere is stupid enough to get scammed by even you. You just have to find them.

>>79905351
>>79906654
you completely missed the point

>>79904163
bait fags don't even know of the cover and good smile deal

>>79907815
>bait fags don't even know
Could've stopped there honestly

>>79905509
Which means it won't be done ever again, which means it'll only grow in value with time, get it today anon

>>79905090
What about Youtooz?

>>79909475
pretty dogshit, i would be embarrassed to get a funko or youtooz deal. nendo is the way to go

>>79906367
>You can't just do the bare minimum and expect the same level of success.

>>79909475
Her mouth isn't even crooked. What the fuck is this trash?

>>79906851
No, it's fine because it's gonna be bought anyways.
One of which will be by me.

>>79906851
OG Doki is pretty iconic. It's like how Pikamee's OG model was still beloved even after she got a bunch of newer ones.

>>79904163
Really simple actually, licensing fees basically. The profit margins of a holo with the licensing fees means they essentially have to stagger out holo nendroids to turn a profit because of the licensing fees. Doki's fee's are probably practically non existent despite the fact that nendo will probably on sell a fraction of a holo's nendo.

brushing off nendos is tribal cope
getting one is genuinely a huge deal, not only because they always sell extremely well but they're a sign that the vtuber has truly made it. zentreya announced hers saying it was one of her career goals and I believe it because I've heard lots of indies say similar things

>>79911467
I should note I'm not saying this isn't a sign doki hasn't made it. Just more explaining from the business side why this is a good idea and why nendo doesn't just charge ahead with more holos.

>>79911467
>her

>>79906029
All of Myth have Nendos, Figma and Pop Up Parade figs in production.

>>79911559
oh yeah for sure, I feel bad for holos who want nendos because they have very little control over if and when they get one. if an indie gets to a certain size it's practically guaranteed that it'll be offered eventually but if one holo is much more popular than the other then the other has a much lower chance even if both are still massive

where mint nendo

>>79911962
high chance next year

>>79907459
Correction: you completely failed to communicate one.

>>79904163
I bet this retarded bitch is going around bribing companies just to dunk on le ebil japanese corpo. She's stupid with money. This means nothing.

>>79912760
Type this without seething.

>>79911467
getting a nendo is a huge career milestone for any otaku. probably why Niji management refused to give Pomu one while knowing it was her dream.

>>79912760
that's some good nijiseethe right there

>>79909475
Nendo is better than youtooz is better than acrylic is better than 3 year old tier crayon drawing is better than funko.
I'll put the doki next to my himawari, that dumb sunflower is the only decent thing left in niji

>>79905538
I hope that guy's found something outside of fighting. getting slimed as much as he has and not even being able to get treatment for that pituitary gland disorder has to have taken a couple decades off his life

>>79905090
based
but nendo buyers dont want to believe that they just bought weeb funkoslop

>>79905464
>Doki would still get the overwhelming support of companies, gamedevs, artists etc she got in this timeline
Not even close. The suicide attempt gave her exposure.

Rather have a Funko Pop. I'll buy that instead when she gets one.

>>79904163
japanese bureaucracy, you can do things faster with a decent foreigner management and budget, being independent is always the end game.

>>79915798
That didn't stop NijiEN management from fast-tracking a Vox nendo

>>79915676
>First Youtooz
>Now Nendoroid
It'll probably sooner than you think

>>79904163
>japanese funko po
Ew, don't call them that.

>>79905952
she's not going to ditch the old model, she said so on stream.

>leave Nijisanji
>get a pc case, youtooz, nendoroid
It's literally a legal cheatcode, why noone else does it?

>>79922086
They drank the nijisanji kool aid that made them think they are worthless without nijisanji

>>79909778
Amen

>>79922086
One of Doki's strengths was building connections outside the company that allowed her to get that kind of stuff. I'm not sure there's a single other person from NijiEN who did the same.

>>79904163
Negligible

Good Smile wants to cash in on her popularity. Strike while the iron's hot. They are smart unlike Niji.

I can't believe Niji got rid of someone this popular. The writings were on the fucking wall. She didn't win two vtuber awards for nothing. And that was all fan voted, no bias judges.
Why didn't Niji get her those sponsorships like nendorid or fukopop when she was there? They could have been making that money. Instead they had to fuck around and find out. Really you fucking retards? You had to fire your most beloved and popular vtuber and then have the nerve to say that she's negligible?

Congrats on Doki for climbing out of that hellfire and then dealing the biggest blow to Niji that they've ever fucking seen. She basically headshoted the entire EN branch and there is no chance for them to recover.

>>79915584
I take my nendos out of their boxes and play with the accessories
Funkoslop consoomers buy them thinking they'll appreciate in value (they won't)

>>79928464
>play with
Autistic

>>79928780
they're action figures retard
I'm using them as designed

>>79928780
What the fuck are the accessories for if not to play with retard?

>>79905623
damn fukken got eeem

>>79928848
nendos are not action figures just because they have minor articulation. for all intents and purposes, they're statues
