Bamco just announced that the PSVR hit Summer Lesson will be released on retail on May 25th, alongside that they announced a bunch of figurine's of the game's main character, Akira Miyamoto.

Including a human size figurine that its planned to be sold at 2.700.000 yen, or about 22.000 USD at 1.6m in height.

However if you can't shell out TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS videogame merchandise then they also give you the economic version, the same figurine but at a height of 21cm for $90.

There's also a swim suit version I won't be posting pics of.

No preorder yet, but you can sign up so you'll get more details directly when they show up.

smh

gross

 

[CountAntonius]

Bought.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

I mean, just getting the VR headset and the game is cheaper.

 

[Cess007]

smh

gross

Bought.

Lol

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

based harada

 

[Dead Prince]

$22 is cheap.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Die hards with disposable income will buy it if you provide it. The "Pick up of the month" thread proves it to me every few weeks lol.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I was like "$20, what's the big deal" and then I realized the OP was using Euro-commas.

 

[ezekial45]

People will buy it. I expect them to sell out, actually.

This is a smart move, actually. The fan base for these style of figurines will eat this up.

 

[FHIZ]

I'll use it as a stand for my PSVR

 

[ULTROS!]

Can't you buy a car with the price of that figure?

 

[BlitzBlake]

I think you meant to use a comma and not a decimal point.

 

[Phu]

Isn't a human size figurine just a statue?

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

What a steal!

 

[Kindekuma]

Can't wait to go from a virtual girlfriend to a girlfriend made of PVC and various plastics IRL.

 

[Rappy]

Including a human size figurine

Okay, once it becomes at least that size, call it a statue instead of a figurine.

 

[Line_HTX]

Forget her, where's the blonde guitarist?

 

[Gestault]

I'm confused by the decimal usage. I read that as $20 USD. Obviously it's not that price. I know it's supposed to convey ~$20k. Is this formatting that means the opposite of what it's mathematical usage should be?

Edit: Dangit European formatting. Stop being terrible. As Titanoboa pointed out, "1.6m" sure isn't 16 meters.

Can't you buy a car with the price of that figure?

You can buy a nice car for that price.

She's coming in Summer Lesson 2: Dog Days

June's GAF pick-up thread

"Hey guys just posting my haul from my recent trip to Japan, you wouldn't guess what I found..."

 

[Jimrpg]

That's one expensive summer lesson.

 

[Amir0x]

these sorts of things are usually more for marketing than actual people buying it.

they get people to talk about their game and their bizarre $20,000 figurine now

 

[Gxgear]

$20,000 not $20.00 right?

At 20k you might as well get the real thing on retainer.

first thought is op doesn't live in the us. but then why the conversion?

 

[Brazil]

Meh

Worst girl

True Summer Lesson Experience > Nice Honda Civic

 

[Carl2282]

wow 20 grand, But can I have sex with it? I'm asking for a friend.

 

[DrkSage]

I'm laughing, but deep down I know someone, out there, is going to buy it without a second tought.

 

[Alucrid]

why would bandai namco agree to make their vr game redundant like this?

 

[UpUpDownDown]

So, i can fuck it?

wow 20 grand, But can I have sex with it? I'm asking for a friend.

Brofist.

 

[NeatoKuni]

Does it come with the game? It's a steal if so.

 

[Branduil]

That's a lot of point-dollars.

OTOH, a small price to pay for what would surely be the greatest of all conversation starters

Spoiler

or enders.

 

[killatopak]

Want?

 

[HeelPower]

she's so generic.

I don't understand the fascination with school uniform.People want to get OUT of that shit.

School uniform is shit.School is shit.

 

[HardRojo]

At $20k I'd rather go to Japan, find some really nice looking escorts, do my business and spend the leftover money on figures, games, manga, anime, food and some other stuff a decent gaffer would do.

 

[dlcnotincluded]

All I could think of was getting that through customs would be a nightmare.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

[-Mutsukki-]

I'm sure somebody will buy this, this really is the new Tokimeki/Love Plus, except now it's not in Konami's hand anymore

School uniform is shit.

...nah

 

[Maxinas]

A 1/9 scale? Eh for $90 i guess its okay, looks too generic for my tastes though.

 

[killatopak]

Forget her, where's the blonde guitarist?

The only relevant question in the thread.

 

[ULTROS!]

Or buy the figure like what a decent gaffer also does.

Spoiler

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[HeelPower]

...nah

I really doubt there are any students that love their uniform.

I bet most can't wait to change by day's end.I know I did.

 

[Dyle]

The full size version is actually a good deal though. If producing it cost the same per cm^3 it would cost $39,805. So of course everyone is going to buy the big one

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Man there are gonna be some weird videos made with that thing

 

[jiggle]

$20?

 

[DrkSage]

That's a lot of point-dollars.

"I love Buddha statues and small figurines!"

"Oh nice, funny you should mention it, I also love statues and figurines!, I actually own a live sized Japanese school girl statue in my room!"

"What?"

"What?..."

 

[Maxinas]

We aren't talking about students here, but shutins with plenty of disposable income. Like myself, yet, i find this particular figure boring.

"What wrong it's just a statue of an underage schoolgirl, nothing weird about that."

Should've been first post 😂😂😂😂😂
