I Lost $10,000 on Anime Figures.

so i spotted something outside if it's what i think it is i gotta get one yes they look so real [Music] you ever do something in life where you just look back and think well that was a waste of [ __ ] money hello if you didn't know i have a podcast called trash taste and last year we did a figure challenge where we spent 1 500 buying anime figurines to decorate our office this year thanks to all your support we've moved to a new bigger and better office so we thought why not up the ante and spend ten thousand dollars collectively on anime figurines to decorate so that's what we did if you watched last year the rules are going to be the same we're going to go to four stores in akihabara lushing ban a stop army army and mandarake with approximately three thousand dollars to spend we're gonna have a bunch of challenges to complete in each store with some also overarching challenges and this time we have to spend a minimum of 500 per store the winner is the one with the most points and the loser is going to have to do some sort of forfeit so this is what happened hello weebs and welcome to the anime zone i mean the yucky design you have to be so loud yes i did okay look we're starting off in the archiba zone if i don't win this first challenge as the anime zone i'm removing the zone from my name okay i'm just gonna be called the anime all right if you watched last year you'd recognize trashbox cone he's coming back for another year so we're just gonna withdraw the first two challenges now get a non-anime figure that's so easy though in here maybe it's gonna be hard in here are we counting like jrpg video games no that's not anime if it doesn't have an anime if it has an anime then okay okay okay i have oh get the most expensive anime figure you can find oh get the jojo figure do the exact same pose oh [ __ ] easy enough what the [ __ ] what the [ __ ] and my second one is get a figure that can beat goku get a figure from a game that connor has played are you [ __ ] kidding me do they sell apex or league figures good luck guard close your eyes and randomly grab a figure slash that's easy all right i guess without further ado we should uh go in the store and complete our challenges let's go but before we move on i just wanted to talk about today's sponsor surfsharkvpn come on guys it's 2021. you should know what a vpn is by now but in case you

just something about going into an anime store when it's completely empty i feel like a kid in a candy store right now so let's get looking before we go any further i wanted to introduce my camera woman for the day hey guys it's your girl okay is that it i don't know what else to say let's sit snap go subscribe all right give me the [ __ ] camera she's gonna be my partner in crime for the day for the day or for life all right so i've got two challenges i've got to find the most expensive figure and a figure from a game that connor's played now i know kind of plays apex i know conor plays league that's pretty much it so i have no idea what else he's played i'm just gonna have to like take a stab in the dark and even hope that he's played any of these games this one's already pretty expensive we've got some final fantasy figures for 110 bucks that's aerith though i'm more of a tifa guy really damn boy she thick i don't know how we've done this but we've inadvertently just walked into the hentai corner so this is just hentai figures can we show that on youtube sydney sydney sydney this is not your channel sydney no no please sydney i want to get monetized please both of these are 220 which is the most expensive figure thus far cynia what do you think of these figures i am very curious about this one just because the tits look so big i want this holy [ __ ] it's a yom figure this is a figure from one of my favorite artists he did the art for miri tights this one i'm definitely buying this is 121 oh [ __ ] the only thing that can combat lead figures for price is apparently fate figures because of course it would be holy sh this is 340 who is this oh it's this [ __ ] oh okay holy [ __ ] look how badass this is 550 for this [ __ ] this isn't the figure anymore we've gone beyond the territory of figure we are just at girthy statue we're gonna see if we can find a figure more expensive i'm really hoping we don't just so i can buy this figure anything more expensive than the fate figure i'm honestly just tempted just to like throw a hail mary and just hope that connor hasn't found something more more expensive because i actually just want to buy the fake figure oh that's pretty expensive is that more expensive than the fake figure i don't think it is i don't think it is you know i'm thinking i'm just going to go for the fake figure i'm going to put my faith in fate fans that they're gonna get me through this game we got some re-zero figures none that are as expensive as the fate figure though oh no that's a 700 figure it's ameliors wow i really want this figure i really want this figure so bad oh no do you want a wind guard or do you want to have taste i don't know i feel like [ __ ] subaru right now immediately you're just [ __ ] me over we got badasses compared to [ __ ] amelia come on really are you really gonna make me choose what's it gonna be you know i'm i'm gonna follow my heart my heart says this [ __ ] a 700 media statue i've gotta go with this are you with me on this sydney yes i'm with you okay good that's why i'm marrying you connor what you done connor what have you done kind of just like thieving the [ __ ] store already all right we're gonna quickly find a game is it the figure that we need to buy [ __ ] it is a figure [ __ ] i'm more out of luck we don't have much time to wiana okay 15 minutes 15 minutes to find a figure from a [ __ ] game that god has played connor why could you not play more jrpgs jesus christ is this monster hunter has conor played monster hunter this is love live bang dream and idol master i shouldn't be here right now um fate figures connor's played fake go right he's playing fago surely surely he used to play arc knights but there are no arc knight figures around i'm like drawing out straws here this is my last chance does yu-gi-oh count as a game has connor played yu-gi-oh mega man mega man [ __ ] would have played mega man there's a bunch of figures here anime anime anime love live love live love live sword art online that counts as a video game right connor why have you not listened to me and played persona 5. i've been recommending this game to you for about five years now but no you refuse to play jrpg god i hate you it basically comes down to i got it we got it boys we got it we got it mario thank you thank you chris pratt thank you so much it's a me and mario oh i could just be simple and buy this pikachu one i'm gonna save a budget i need every cent okay here's what i'm thinking do i buy the emilia no is it worth losing a point let's just go buy our figures so that came out to uh 670 dollars i can barely hold the girth of this thing look at that i think i've actually found a character figure from a game you've played oh really oh yeah yeah well how to see it or is it a surprise no it's not a surprise so that was lushing ban um i don't know if i've made a massive mistake by not buying the amelia figure but i guess we'll leave it to fate so we'll see you in the next door i get it what we'll leave it to fate so here we are the second store we are back in the archiba zone this time we're going to a-stop which is the same store we went to last year so once we go in you're probably going to recognize it but before we go in let's find out what our challenges are cindy how do you think i'm doing so far well you've spent the most so far but you know i kind of took an l on one of the don't say that don't say that jerry's right there trashbox [ __ ] round two jesus christ joey ah sydney get something super etchy buy a figure from a shonen series oh what the [ __ ] i think you got that last time i did i did get a character figure from fifth and all-star okay thank god this you might actually have a chance here no i do i will have a chance i've seen them sell it here my second one is get a figure from a series that you recently watched get a gojo figure get a female character figure okay the gacha gods are finally online you can literally get two points let's go so once again we are in a stop and as you can see i am surrounded by figure boxes i got figure boxes to my left this is my right i got bigger boxes to my left i got connor right behind me i think our first mission is to find a lewd figure now cindy we've got two eyes working for us right now that's a good nipple right there that's some good nipple i like them i like them a lot do you think this video is gonna be monetized no so how this store actually works is that this is actually a secondhand figure store all these boxes are owned by someone and they're the ones who set the price it's basically just real life ebay so like because i was so focused on the challenges for the previous thought i forgot that we have some overarching challenges as well which are on screen right now so now that i have a bit more time to focus on other challenges apart from just figuring out if i want to spend 700 on amelia i think the one i'm gonna try and find is a figure that's close to uh sixty nine dollars or four twenty dollars let's see what we can find [ __ ] like there's there's a gojo figure there's a gojo figure right there who's go joe are you are you serious oh that's pretty lewd cindy can you like not put a pants can you not put her panties on the screen sydney this is 438 which is pretty damn close to 420 and it's a lewd figure worst girl though she is but we're here to play a game 69.69 see if you can find something 69 holy [ __ ] oh you know what i kind of want a uh what's her name again how have i known for [ __ ] sake echidna that's it i get 50 off everything in this box so i can get echidna for six dollars sometimes you just gotta look out for good deals oh my god [Applause] i don't even care if it's sword art online i'm getting this point oh but it says 70 off oh sh [ __ ] the one time i don't want a discount and there's a discount oh berserk we've got berserk we can do berserk or we can do goblin slayer they're both the same thing right i swear to god sydney i i swear to god that's so close that's so close why is every sword art online figure 69 or close to 69 is this chapter 16.5 all over again um but it's 20 off are you kidding me god what do you keep getting i keep getting 69 dollars but every box that has a figure that's 69 has a 50 or 60 no come on japanese people why is no one pricing their [ __ ] 69 exactly sydney stop stop is this black goku or goku black don't shoot he's not black this man isn't black oh it's a rent a girlfriend come on i've got it i've got her that's the cheap chisel figure i'm getting that i've just bought waifu so far i didn't know that uh when two girlfriend freak is already out so i'm really happy i got one for that jeep initially i thought look how cool this guts figure was until look at the color of his face why is he green it's seasick guts this is what happens when you spend 12 years on a boat man he's spilling his guts oh my god sydney stop you know what i'm gonna get black goku that goku deserves to go on our wall [ __ ] i just realized that's an anime original film but it's so expensive i found another promo figure for much cheaper i'm gonna go for it i don't think i can get a better price than that what is that that is nightmare fuel is this what happens when you put the anime figure in the [ __ ] jar all right so we've got 10 minutes left so we're just gonna cash out now we've spent over five hundred dollars and i hope that we've just got three points with one figure i'll be honest i don't remember what some of these figures are but i'm gonna keep them on anyway how do we buy the figures and they stop we note down all the figures on the piece of paper and then the store clerk will get all the figures for us and confirm which figures we're actually buying oh yeah i did put a chizzaroo figure in there of course liked it what are we doing okay and that is it we spent 572 and 50 cents that is it for a stop so we will see you at the third store which i believe is amiyami once again so see you there finally some representation for my ethnicity linny look it's uh your favorite store it's the minion store all right so we are finally in miami and uh this time we have to wear these face cards for this store specifically but we're gonna be doing three challenges in miami all right let's do the first one go for it get a figure for an anime that joey has watched in 2021 good luck with that oh no get something chosen by the other two get a figure from an incestuous series and shout i love incest why can't i get that one get a figure from a show that the boys have not watched good [ __ ] luck with that good luck with that this is doable but i'm gonna be hurting do a squat for every zero figure i see buy a wall easy get a male character figure oh thank god thank god i got an easy one get a character plushie get a figure of a character that is american all right let's go all right let's let's just get a plushie let's get

something gundam i know alan wants me to get something on them i have to build all of these these are all model kits why can't mecca just like have like a figure that i can display what is this og mecha fans where are you at i would prefer if there was a mecca that i actually knew this looks like a really cool [ __ ] ava figure i think i might just want this for myself like how big is this [ __ ] massive that's how big look at this chunky boy look at that hey gaunt hey i'm going to scratch your back what's an incest enemy because uh i'm just gonna be blunt i don't watch that [ __ ] joe just find a kiss like this you know yeah yeah dude i'd be all over that [ __ ] if i found it you gotta think outside the box okay it's not about the incest anime it's about the anime with incest in it i'm not gonna solve the issue for you but i'll give you some wise words incest is in the heart it's what was shown out on the sleeve sometimes you've got to look within to find the incest just find a little sister and see where that goes oh it's eris i didn't know they made mushoka tensei figures now no i made it i got a by the way okay you seen this can you do this spot real quick oh oh nipples it's me what's sydney what the [ __ ] why are you here again i don't i don't know what figures to buy honestly let's get a hentai figure cena you always want a hentai figure hey this is just like hello i'm a discord mod and i watch anime at this one i'm just shopping basically completed my challenges i am happy though because i haven't found a figure that's more expensive than the fake figure i've bought yet what's the coolest figure here i don't know there's quite a few cool ones in the hentai aisle stop what's going on baby oh i want to get the aeros so unless i can find roxy for now i just wanted to show a tennessee figure oh for [ __ ] sake all i did was turn around my legs are jelly right now my legs are actual jelly oh man they got wargreymon what the [ __ ] is this [ __ ] i've seen ava before okay i don't remember there being a giant enemy lobster get in the crab shinji is this pre-built metal build damn it if only alan was here so he can answer if this is pre-built or if you have to build this yourself i'm gonna guess you have to build it yourself honestly i would love something mecca for the studio but i have to build everything these are all plastic model kits mecca can you just give me a figure that i could just put on my desk without having to build please i'm begging you no one says i just needed to get one character plushie we've got the among us plushie what can we add to that how about steve i think stephen among us would be a good duo so i'm gonna just gonna put that down there we are back in the hentai corner i'm not going to leave this place without buying at least one hentai figure and you know what i'm going to let the queen of degeneracy really pick herself so here's some nice b-roll while sydney chooses the figure because i don't want to show all the figures that she's going through right now sydney what are you thinking do i want that big titty succubus or do i want that girl eating a condom keep in mind we need to show this in the office sydney i have made my decision i'm going to choose a figure that is literally just an ass an because god comes up with things in mysterious ways oh my god my son we gotta get that what do you think of this figure it's just an ass it's just an ass you're welcome there's no front it's just an ass don't let the boys see oh shh i forgot i have to buy something that they asked me why would i want that would the ram won't be any better or would the ram one be better which one are you going for you can have either remo there exactly look at the mama car give me a milk well actually it's 300 bucks oh yeah okay yeah yeah sure you could have that wait wait wait how much is this one we are making an official statement here on camera we have chosen forgotten to buy the milf i've got some cool figures i want to buy you don't have to do it for the point you can fall for the point i'ma [ __ ] do it i won't do it that was a 300 figure [ __ ] i got 330 i want to spend left i want to buy another fate figure a key to ulta hell yeah so you're not going to spend anything in mandarake sometimes you roll for a character and you don't get them so what do you do you buy them irl okay all right well i think we've got a pretty good haul here so let's go cash out i kind of forgotten how much i bought it i think i've spent about a thousand i bought a lot i bought a lot of figures what the [ __ ] okay we're at 1020 did i buy anything else no no okay yeah yeah and that is it boys i'm not quite sure how much i have left the last place i don't think i have over a thousand see you at the fourth store and we are at the final place which is mandarake i don't know why i pointed at this like there was like a logo here anyway if you don't know what mandaraka is it's a really really big secondhand store that has anime stuff a lot of collectibles so you can find some really really rare collectible here that you can't find anywhere else i'm excited to see if we can find some really cool stuff but i'm also scared because i'm not sure how much of a budget i have left and out of all the stores it feels like this is the one store that won't have a cap on like the most expensive item you can find really rare items here for like upwards of like ten thousand dollars maybe even higher all right last challenge of the day get a figure of a fake character that god does not own on fgr yes get a figure from a show that all the boys have watched that means i've got the same challenge that i did last time i think which was ask the store staff to recommend a figure for me and buy it in japanese why joey let's go all right so i think this is a bit unfair because uh jerry's got nabi as the cameraman who is a fate expert i'm gonna call [ __ ] we're not checking your account we're making a well-educated guess as to what you might have joe joe this is meant to be on your own fake knowledge what if it was an actual tactic that i invited navi as my camera have you not been listening to all the times i've talked about fate if you did then no it should be it should be an easy question i haven't got because i don't give a [ __ ] this boy cheating again my god so this is mandarake and as you can see there is a totally different vibe when it comes to the pricing okay as soon as we walked in there's one figure that is already our entire budget that is a 3080 ava figure just to give you an idea of the pricing that we're working with we could have some really really expensive stuff but we could have some really cheap stuff so let's go have a look from my first impressions we have got a lot of like old-school [ __ ] we've got transformers we've got old-school mecca oh we got uh yeah zoids what is the last time since i saw zoids jesus christ so this is actually the eighth floor that we're on right now mandarake is eight floors most of the character figures are on floor seven and eight so that's what we're going to be focusing on today but i want to go into the other floors to see if we can find some like interesting things what is that i am a hero curry plate that's such a unique item are these real katanas should i buy a [ __ ] katana i'm gonna play a costume we have a lot more lewd figures all right let's start on the floor below we're going really old school now this is marzinga z i don't know og mecha fans where are you at my og mech knowledge is just non-existent thank god i didn't get the must buy the most expensive figure because i'd be absolutely [ __ ] this is six thousand dollars that is more than double our budget right now what is that is that marzinga z we got the super sentai corner it's like og kaiju stuff because we've got marzinga there we've got ultraman you've got trading cards as well we got fake go cards no [ __ ] way this is ghatra in real life we've reached the pokemon corner we've actually got charizard and blastoise it's like 700 for a charizard i'm sure someone who knows a lot more than pokemon cards than me will tell you if this is a good deal okay so i've gone on one of the other floors uh just to have a look around this is like mazinger z right tetsujin 28 go can truly be considered marzingazi right i think so my god mecca fans are gonna like crucify me now i swear to god what is that astro boy what is that so i spotted something outside if it's what i think it is i gotta get one yes so they just straight up cell airsoft bang bang bang what the hell look at that look at that oh my god what's in it i got an idea trash chased we love to [ __ ] on america a lot right but what if we embrace part of american culture i'm going to buy like bang bang bang and i'm going to present it to the boys that looks like a [ __ ] american bang bang bang how much i have left my budget we got to buy them should i get that one are you able to take that one home let's do it let's do it let's do it we're going full american on this podcast wait wait can you get demonetised for showing bang bang bang but it's an airsoft bang bang bang right this is so [ __ ] big and girthy they literally have to dismantle the shop to take it out that's how big this thing is i can't believe i'm fighting bang bang bang this is this is heavy this is actually heavy holy [ __ ] this is real metal um how do i get away with this i think my biggest worry is that i get arrested on the way back uh that's that's what i don't want to happen i just spend a 300 for one reaction that i'm not getting able to show the product so uh let's hope it's worth it i've completely forgotten that i have to do my challenge so i'm just going to do that now uh character uh anyone anyone you recommend one piece yeah sure let's go one piece robin then can i uh can i get that one yeah good choice i i found someone with good taste thank you very much all right and that is the last point done so let's try to fill up the budget now can we get a hunter i know you want more hentai figures sydney okay this is not what we're here for i want to find like a gundam figure or something or a mecha figure so i just googled it and uh we found a mecca figure this one's for you alan because my editor alan will not shut up about gundam hathaway okay so i'm buying this for you alan now we can stop [ __ ] talking about it does that mean we have 300 left over yeah can i get a hentai figure then okay you can get a hentai figure sydney oh my god sydney stop you want the asanagi figure there's so many i want okay i like this one a lot cause it's just really aesthetic but also asanagi so i kind of want awesome why do you want the asanagi figure because it's culture it's beautiful we can get the asanagi figure okay okay we're looking for something for 2000 yen 2015. it's a it's a saber t-shirt sure why not how much is it oh no it's 2 200 right i think i've calculated this correctly that's just like a plushie i don't [ __ ] know man this is just a plushy of i don't recognize this and this is a phone case holder no this is too much [ __ ] i did something for like exactly 2 000 but everything is like two thousand two hundred yes was the tax included i can't remember that are you gonna take the l i'm going to take a risk i hope i haven't gone bust we are going to go downstairs to pay away from the rest of the guys and that is it i'm not gonna reveal my final price right now you can find that out on the trash taste podcast where we're gonna basically figure out who spent closest to 3 33 so with that said i'll see you outside with the boys and gamers that was it if you want to see their reactions to what i've bought then
