That is a fair date
@Metallman Sweet review thank you so much! Can’t wait to get my box.
Thanks! Your kind words are much appreciated! I’ll sure you’ll be getting yours soon enough!
Here is my post from Instagram, same user name as here.
I just got my second box/bag in yesterday and did my review.
I also used Google Translate on all the Japanese text.
Unfortunately the bumper sticker was mangled beyond use on the edges and my Christmas ornament was shattered in my second box, or should I say bag. Everything that came in my upgraded box was fine.
Also the button, featuring Ais Wallenstein from Danmachi, its the same art that was used back in December 2020’s box, just slightly zoomed out. well at least I was able to get the none-ecchi version this time as well.
Liz, small suggestion? maybe ship out the basic none upgraded option (no scale figure or t-shirt) in a smaller box to avoid damaged packaging, stickers, inserts, an broken fragile items in shipping.
Also any Holiday themed stuff should be included in the month before, like Christmas stuff in Novembers box. that way we have a chance to use or display them for the holiday since the boxes ship out after the 24th and usually do not arrive till the following month for most people.
Also I voted for Lucao for the art vote next month, and Zombina for the figure.
(still hoping for a Rachnera figure one day)
I really need to start my own blog page, to get my reviews off of being only available on Instagram, since I’m not starting up a Youtube channel ever again after getting kicked off the platform from false reports from copyright trolls.
@Keiffer I don’t really suggest a YouTube channel, I had one along with many others to do reviews, but we all got kicked off the platform including Liz herself due to a copyright troll.
Maybe rumble? or a blog? I’m still on instagram for now, but thinking of starting a blog instead.
You do a great job! I do something similar on my blog but what I do different is I write a little blub about my thoughts on the items. The blog is for the review and the instagram is for the pictures. Works out pretty well for me. I strongly suggest you give it a try!
Yeah I did the YouTube thing for 2 years, reviewing boxes from The Otaku Box and others like Nihon Box, Crunchyroll Box by Loot Crate, Boxu-chan, Lootaku, etc. I also did Figure unboxing reviews and meme videos as well, all under the same user name as this one with the same profile picture. Well one day myself, and a few YouTubers I know of including the official Otaku Box channel set up by Liz were hit by a bunch of copyright strikes getting our channels removed, all by RemoveYourMedia LLC. A made up lawfirm that has a history of striking videos to claim copyright on them for other companies, in hopes the other companies pay them for their work.
Only my Otaku Box unboxing and review videos were hit, so that tells me they just searched The Otaku Box and did a mass copyright claim on every video they came across. I thought I got the strikes due to the intro video clips which were well within fair use as they were meme videos using scenes from anime relevant to the boxes i was unboxing, but when they claimed the videos by therealpicklerick_1, a friend on YouTube, who makes review videos raw and uncut with no such material or music or anything, I knew it was a troll. Probably one of those disgruntled subscribers that complain about everything.
Of course disputing the claims on YouTube is pointless, as they only listen to the big name users, plus they are only able to be contacted by twitter. That should tell you what you need to know about the people that work at YouTube. Any dispute on the YouTube platform itself is all automatically done by bots, so human eye’s never see the issues.
Thing is, this same guy also got Liz’s Instagram removed as well, that’s why I’m thinking of starting a blog instead of doing my reviews on Instagram.
I know most the items in TOB are not 100% licensed and most art is fan art commissioned by TOB, but that does not diminish the quality of the items, and I find them great! and the quality keeps improving with each box! But, I also think that is the reason, I’m gonna assume, Character Names and Anime/manga Titles are no longer used on the inserts, packaging, and advertising, even though its obvious who the characters and shows are. Basically since everything is based on commissioned fan art, its legal grey area akin to Garage Kits, Doujin, etc. At least that is my educated guess on why the names of characters and anime titles are no longer included on the inserts or packaging or the figures, etc.
I want this Milian figure. I just saw a dope one on pre order it’s her on top of remeru in slime form.
Great review. If I had social media I’d follow.
Quite the price jump lol
Oh yeah there you go!
Hahah yes it is. But you get what you pay for,least I feel so.
O 100% I completely understand the price it looks great and I have zero room to talk on price paying lol
My box finally arrived on the 17th but im missing my VIP item. Anyone got the link to someone that can send me it?
Yeah I’ll give them my money. Especially if it’s good quality.
You try messaging @liz and her crew.
I’m just seeing this. I mean the mangas and light novels are great and all but….this figure looks way better!!! Hands down….plz get this.
Bro that’s long enough to save up. Better late than never!
Yeah she is. What you mean a set of two. Can you link the set?
Ummm yeah that is well worth every penny. If you don’t get it I will lol.
Support can send you the missing items. Just contact them through support@theotakubox.com
If i had that box and received the dishwasher, would have made it in to a belt buckle for one of the girl friends…
