I did a thing, and went a little “Figurine Happy”, K-Nuggets. Do I have any regrets about buying a ton of figurines from various groups? No, I do not. I think they are a great addition to my collection, and they add an extra. dimension that isn’t just albums.
I do a lot of my album shopping on Music Plaza LA. Additionally, if you have never used Music Plaza before, this link will get you an extra 5% off of your first purchase!
You can also order a copy of the album from an eBay, as they typically have good prices. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the E-Bates extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is E-Bates?
E-Bates is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Ebates, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over 80$ back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used EBates before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using EBates. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Sokoglam typically has 3%. These percentages Many other major retailers are on there as well.
Things to know about these figurines:
- Wanna One Figurines
- These figurines come in 3 sizes:
- Keychain size
- 4 inch (although I want to say it is slightly shorter than that)
- 7 inch
- They have different ones for each individual member. I have 옹성우 (Ong Seong Woo) in all 3 sizes and 강다니엘 (Kang Daniel) in just the 7 inch
- The Keychain size also comes with a bus card… so I’m totally going to use that when I go to Korea… It’s hilarious (Note: not useful at all outside of Korea except for staring)
- These figurines are pretty durable and made of really good quality plastic
- They managed to not get the features distorted even when scaling down the figurine, which is impressive.
- These figurines come in 3 sizes:
- Chanyeol figure
- So I initially only ordered Chanyeol in these, as he is the only I cared about…. and then after looking at him, all by himself, I ordered the rest of the members and have all 9 of them (Lay included)
- The box is totally adorable, as is completely branded with all the Chanyeol things.
- There is also a photo card of Chanyeol being adorable on top of it.
- He comes with accessories: lightstick & microphone
- He’s about 5 inches tall (approximately)
- You have to be careful with their arms because they aren’t glued in so that you can fidget with them, so they can slide out when you use too much pressure (they don’t fall out at random though, only if you pull too hard)
- Youngjae figure
- He is really small, max 3.5 inches tall, but most likely smaller. He’s small enough that he is at home out of fear of losing him when if I ever have to move my desk
- He has a stand with a weak magnet that you can put him on (you can’t like shake it though with it on. He will fly across the room)
- This one is the most affordable and subtle out of all of them, as it is only about $20.
K-Points: 525/5
Honestly, I think having any figurine to support one of your favorite K-Pop group members is a good use of money. To this day, they still make me happy and I enjoy having them in my collection for the variety of. it. For that reason alone, I think it is perfectly acceptable to buy them. You may not want to buy as many as I did, but just one shows your support for that artist, which is. important.
If you could only buy one figurine. of an artist, which artist would it be, K-Nuggets? Let me know in the comments below.
사랑합니다!
