Serious question, do the IDs deserve their own nendoroids/figmas? Can their fanbase even afford it? I think only Kaela has a chance at getting one desu.

The IDs don't even deserve 3D models.

to be honest. NO they dont ,,,. maybe moona or people like kobo but others no

What a dumb question. If there is money to be made, there is no reason not to.

>no id3
looks like id3 is getting nendos

If it was just some random stuff then sure treat everyone equally
But Nendos are basically an NFT-level scam with "fake scarcity" so what the fuck is Cover supposed to do? Big number talents have to come first.

Begging is in their blood

It's not about whether they "deserve" them or not but whether they would be profitable. Personally, I think they could be produced and sold for a profit.
There are basically few fixed costs (design work, marketing to some extent) and the variable costs (unit production) could be calibrated based on expected demand.
As long as they limit production to a small batch and limit marketing to streams and social media (which are basically free), I think it would be feasible.
The main problem isn't that they wouldn't make money, but that the amount of money would probably be a lot lower than other things Cover could spend their time working on (the so-called "opportunity cost").

>>103187023 (OP)
Yes. Also.
>Desu
Leave parasite.

>their fanbase
Which one is that?
ID? They speaks EN half the time.
EN? They speaks ID half the time.
Their failure is swinging between ID and EN. Kaela and someone like Michi could succeed because they're consistent pandering to EN.
So does picrel if they were consistent targeting their own market.

Let this be a lesson to you, be consistent in everything you do. Whatever it is.

"Getting" a nendoroid isn't guaranteed to get you a nendoroid . By the time GSC gets to produce them Promise will be likely down to one member.

>>103187023 (OP)
It was bretty funny when the indogs were complaining about Pekora and Marine getting new alt outfit nendos while the IDs couldn't even get a prototype mold.

kek I can imagine Iofi seething at the twins for getting their nendo first

>>103187680
didn't they remove the promise ones from the slate

>>103187312
>other things Cover could spend their time working on
it's way more likely GoodSmileCo thinks it's a waste of their designers' time when they could instead be making mega-popular-anime/manga/game-character-X that will sell tons of figures

If buy an Ollie figure yesterday if I could

>>103187023 (OP)
They don't deserve them, they enabled homos.

>>103187312
Limited resources, goodsmile has to weight between churning out popular anime chars every season or some indo vtuber who will only sell a couple hundred figures at best.

>do the IDs deserve their own nendoroids/figmas?
'Deserve' is a strong word. They can do whatever they want. Whether it's going to sell or not is a different matter.

Their audience isn't known for spending much money on merchandise, and the management is aware of this. This could be the reason why they haven't got one.

TL;DR: It's not that they don't deserve one, but rather that they don't have a strong enough fanbase.

>>103187156
What the fuck

>>103188421
Seems more like legal shit to me.
Doki got hers set up in under a month, is in talks for a second one, and the first wave ships this month.
Though it could also end up being priority for higher popularity stuff. They even brought Doki's back for a second and third wave of preorders. Same with her goodsmile plush. (Which some people already have already)

The alternative is that Doki's asia team is somehow faster than the entirety of hololive, but I doubt that.

>>103188938
The ccp has a lot of clout.

>>103187023 (OP)
>deserve
figures are a business
if hololive ran itself more like a business ID wouldn't exist

>>103188845
hello saar

I don't buy nendroids, so I don't care.

>>103187894
It's a shame these two are in production purgatory too. Always thought it was some damn bullshit that HoloX got nendoroids, figmas (think only Koyori doesn't have one) and 3D models out the fucking door
>>103188091
Last time i checked Mumei and Fauna were removed from the group shot.

>>103188212
This, A+ design

>>103187023 (OP)
All of them should get one except for Iofi, just for the luls

Frankly I would have watched them more if they restricted indon within a certain time period.
Random indon streams during peak western hours really kill the vibes
