Confirm multiple real-life photos of the same product. Understand that prize figures can be a &#8220;hit or miss.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Failure 2: Did not imagine the actual size<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Judging by the scale notation alone without checking the total height.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Always check the total height (cm). (1\/8 scale \u2248 20\u201325 cm, 1\/7 scale \u2248 23\u201328 cm). Compare with the dimensions of your intended display area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Failure 3: The effects feel cheaper than expected<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cause:<\/strong> A mismatch between price range and expectations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Do not expect scale-figure quality from a prize figure. If you prioritize effects, choose a scale figure costing at least 15,000 yen. Clarify what you value most (Face, Pose, or Effects).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where Do the Price Gaps Come From?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The price of a Satoru Gojo figure is determined by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Facial sculpting precision (especially the painting around the eyes).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Size (Scale and total height).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presence of effect parts (Technique reproduction).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brand power and the manufacturer&#8217;s production process.<br><em>Expensive items are not just &#8220;marked up&#8221;; their production costs and completion levels are set high from the start.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Points to Check Before Buying<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Confirm Real Reviews:<\/strong> Check multiple unboxing videos and social media posts from buyers, not just official images.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Size Notations:<\/strong> Confirm the total height (cm) in addition to the scale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Availability of Reprints:<\/strong> Popular items are often re-released.
