Is this thing on?
Oh! Okay, there you go!
Hey guys!
It's Vanessa, and today
I'm gonna be doing a little
something something related to
a certain yellow Pokémon
I wonder who that could be?
Hmm, hmm, hmmm.
Alright, well, there you go.
Oh, dear. Oh dear Lord.
Hoodies and this wig do not go together.
Alright
But yeah, there. Today I am
gonna be talking about
the Figuarts Pikachu.
Alright! So, uhm...
I grew up with the
first generation of Pokémon, obviously,
and I was particularly fond of
Pikachu. Uh, who wasn't? I mean...
I watched the anime and I was like
"I want a Pikachu following me around everywhere!"
When I found out that Figuarts had released
a Pikachu figure, I was like
* G A S P *
I NEED IT IN MY LIFE.
Alright, so... I guess this
is gonna be some sort of unboxing -
slash - review-ish video?
I have absolutely no
experience with Figuarts stuff so
this would be my first.
I actually - oh dear Lord. I keep
forgetting that these things
come with Scotch tape
on them.
You know what? Give me a bit.
I'mma be back in just a few seconds,
I think I need to get scissors for this.
Do I need scissors?
No, I do not! Ha!
The wonder of having slightly longer nails.
There you go, alright! So... let's see.
I'm used to Nendoroids, so
I found the box slightly... small, actually!
Like... I expected it to be considerably bigger.
But yeah, there you go.
So we'll just pull this out...
How do we do this?
Well, okay, I just pulled out a piece of cardboard.
That was the backdrop, apparently.
Alright, let's put that back in.
Okay, so I expected it to be
a little bigger. There you go.
Let's see... can you see that?
Is it focused? Yes? No?
I'm not sure.
Well, anyway-- Ooooh!
Okay, when I was peeking in the box,
I was like, "Oh, I wonder what else is included?"
And I'm like, "Okay, two faceplates."
What I didn't see was that they have
extra - I believe these are hands?
Which is...
* INCOHERENT NOISES *
Okay, I... I don't think I'm doing this correctly.
Oh. Oh, there! There you go!
Alright, I really wasn't doing it right.
Alright, there you go.
So let's see, let's--
AAAAHH I'M SO HAPPY!
Dear God, that sounded horrible
but I'm so happy because like,
I adore Pikachu and like oh my God!
It's a little poseable ---
Ooooh.
I have never, ever handled
a Figuarts anything before, and
I'm not quite sure how the
articulation works on this.
I... okay, yeah, I guess this is just
an unboxing video of me
being a spaz.
I have a Pikachu in my hand!
Oh my God, he's so adorable.
Are these movable? Do these move?
Do these move?
Uhh... I guess that counts as movement?
Does that count as movement? I'm not sure.
Am I doing this right?
I might break it. I'm not sure.
He's adorable, look at that.
Is it focusing? I'm not sure.
I wanna see if I can-- How do you
How do you?
* INCOHERENT NOISES *
I feel like I'm trying to just
rip his face off.
Am I doing this right?
Oh dear God one side is coming off--
Came off!
Alright, so he's got that
open-mouthed smile, that looks
kind of creepy, I'm so sorry!
Uhm, he's got... the...
* INCOHERENT NOISES *
Am I doing this right?! Ugh.
I don't know if I'm doing this right,
I feel like a little kid!
There! HA, I DID IT!
He also has this default
sort of neutral face?
I'm not sure. (again)
And then there's this like
super angry...
I'mma...
Well, it's not an "I'mma cut you" face.
It's the "I'mma electrocute you" face.
So far, that's it.
What I found really funny though,
like it was unexpectedly small.
This box was entirely too small
for like, what I'm used to.
And uh, I think there's a --
Oh, there's an instruction pamphlet
which I didn't look at, at all.
I sort of just thought
it's gonna work the same way
as my Nendoroid faceplates,
and I'm so terrified of losing those tiny hand parts,
let's try not to lose those.
And I'll probably post a review
of this on The Toy Van, my figure blog
in... a week or so?
I'll try really, really hard to do that.
But yeah, what I found funny though
is that it came bundled with this.
This, I believe, is the Bandai Tamashii Effects
and it's the
Yellow Thunder version?
But thunder is the sound, not --
This is lightning!
But you know what, I'm not gonna fight with the
manufacturers. It's a cool thing.
I'll probably take it out some other time,
maybe for when I do my review.
But y'know, I found it hilarious
that Pikachu was yea tiny, and
the lightning effects were like...
this huge. So I'm like
Okay, you know what? Whatever.
Whatever floats your boat.
It's kinda cool, and I wanna try it out sometime soon,
but maybe not now.
Because for now, I'm gonna spaz over this --
OHMYGOD YOU CAN MOVE THE TAIL
I'm so sorry.
Alright, so I'm not sure if I should do any more
unboxings on video
because like...
Well, clearly, I'm gonna spaz like a child, and...
ohmygod it's so cute!
I'm sorry, I can't get over how adorable it is, like...
Look! Look at that tiny mug!
It's like ahhhhh *squeals*
So yeah, there you go. That is my spazzy
unboxing of the Figuarts Pikachu.
I'm not sure where you can get this if you're outside of
the Philippines, but there are a couple of dealers who
I think still have this in the Philippines.
Not sure, not sure.
What do I --
I forgot what I do in my videos.
Okay, so I totally went back and looked at some of
my older videos just to remember what else I do
here on my vlogs.
Uhm... outfit breakdown!
Can't believe I forgot this!
This hoodie is from Authority Hoodie.
I will leave a link in the description box, and
this is the Yaki Blonde Mix lacefront wig
from RockStar Wigs. Again, I will leave a link in the
description box, or whatever passes for
a description box wherever this gets posted.
So that's it! Thumbs up if you liked the video,
thumbs up if you like Pikachu!
Tell me in the comments if you want to see more
unboxings here on my YouTube channel.
and I will see you next time, alright?
Don't forget to subscribe! :D
