Good Smile Company Releasing Fire Emblem: Three Houses Byleth Figure, Pre-Orders Are Now Live

At least people can stop complaining about her not getting a Smash Amiibo now.

They chose the correct Byleth for this 👍

@JR150 never 😜

@Longondo $220 for a toy that does nothing is low price to you? Must be nice.

A "trusty sword"? Yeah, it's only a legendary blade called "Sword of the Creator"...

I really hope we get another Fire Emblem game this year.

@Longondo My guess is it's PVC for that price. You want something more expensive? Try resin. That'll cost you at least twice as much. But it will be more fragile than PVC.

My True Form Midna (Definitive Edition) statue from First4Figures cost me $899, because she is made of resin, but it also included a black-lit glass case, a rotating base, and LED-lit hair. The basic statue alone (without a case, a rotating base, or lighting) would have cost me over $400.

In comparison, my BOTW Zelda (Exclusive Edition), also from First4Figures, cost about $130, despite having an LED-lit base and Sheikah Slate, because she was PVC and not resin, like Midna was.

In all honesty, for PVC, this is a little bit on the expensive side, if you ask me. I've bought PVC statues from for way less (not just Zelda, but two Hinata Hyuga statues from Crunchyroll).

If it was a figma I'd get it, but I'm not going to spend that much, sorry.

Thanks for the heads up! Can go with my Lyn preorder, will order next month. Budget is maxed this month.

Still wish she’d gotten an amiibo though.

Edit: annnd preordered.

Yeah, really would have prefered a Beles amiibo over a Beleth amiibo.

Not going to spend more than $40 on a figurine, amiibo or otherwise. And I collect all the amiibo!

Since pre-orders are available until July, I’m going to wait a bit to buy this. It does look nice.

@Nf157 LOL. It’s just like the SSBU reveal; male Byleth gets booed and the waifu is accepted.

Looks great, but I prefer the male variant.

@RubyDevilNine
im curious: what would an ironic interpretation of their comment be?

For some reason I look at this and mostly feel like anyone who was in a sword-duel-to-the-death with this woman would immediately think "maybe I should just stab her in the belly button".

I really, really need to play this game. And get the figure at some point!

@Royalblues Real weebs get a Yui Hirasawa tattoo that takes up half their arm like me 😁

@kurtasbestos video game armor for females staple: leave all vital organs uncovered. It’s stupid, but doesn’t seem likely to change.

@Ryu_Niiyama who cares? It looks cool!
I think clunky armour doesn't suit female characters as much anyways.
I don't really care for practicality in fantasy games.
I'm sure if we delved into it a lot of male characters have impractical armour too.

@VexingInsanity I care, and it doesn’t look “cool” to me. Otherwise I wouldn’t have made the comment. Otherwise the person I replied to wouldn’t have pointed out how impractical the armor is in the first place.

You thinking something that should keep a character alive doesn’t “suit” female characters is exactly the reason why this nonsense happens. Do females have impenetrable skin around vital organs? Nope, it is just sexually arousing to dudes to see women half naked no matter the situation. And before you go “oh it is a video game” the male characters should look the same if it doesn’t matter, but we all know why they don’t. Also aside from the barbarian type, most male video game armor covers up the body (especially the vital organs) in full. And since there are different social acceptances to a shirtless man and a shirtless woman, even that isn’t equal.

i read the comment. now ive read it twice.

i can't imagine how their comment could be taken as ironic, or how your preference would be that it was intended ironically. but it doesn't matter. cheers!

@Ryu_Niiyama Almost like sexual standards for males and females is different.
A man in bulky armour can still be seen as hot but women are held to a different standard hence the different armour.

Nobody says it's impractical for Dante from the devil may cry series to have his abs out or even kratos. Not everything has to be accurate down to the armour because I'm sure you'll find that a lot of male armour is impractical as well. HECK that guy in the DLC is literally shirtless (I don't remember his name)

I don't care if my characters are kept alive by their armour because it doesn't affect gameplay and I'd rather they look cool.
But it sexual appeal applies to both genders in the game and it doesn't matter cus you don't have to like it. Other people do. It's hot on both the men and women.

@VexingInsanity Almost like female objectification exists. And again I already mentioned that there are differing standards for males and females (I just simply think it is unfairly weighted in order to put females under a predatory male sexual gaze). Not only that, those social standards change over time (just usually very slowly or one step forward two steps back for females). Like I said said, it’s stupid and it isn’t cool. You obviously disagree, good for you, I don’t really care, but it obviously bothers you so much that you interjected yourself into a comment that was not initially directed at you.

That’s what happens when you talk to another person, their lived experience allows them to form viewpoints and opinions different to yours. However that has absolutely no bearing on my comment or the one that I initially replied to. You said who cares and quoted me directly and I responded. You keep trying to say what you think looks cool, and again good for you. My opinion however remains unchanged. I’m also not going to stop expressing my opinion to make you feel validated.

Also I have see men complain about shirtless men (mostly because they don’t find it sexually attractive especially the “pretty boy “ types like dante so there is an exception to everything…consequence of over 7 billion different viewpoints in the world).

Anything else? Or would you like to move on?

@VexingInsanity
there are people who are attracted to women for reasons or attributes other than what you imagine. alot of people.

@Ryu_Niiyama I don't know why this topic makes you so aggravated.
You posted your opinion online, I disagreed in another post, and now you're all up in my ass for disagreeing.

I could not care less that you don't like it. I do. I don't think we should be changing this stuff because some people don't like it.

There's always other characters in real armour. They exist in the same game ffs. The pegasus knights wear full body plate armour. The heavy knights like Edelgard wear full armour. It looks cool as well. But I like female byleth's design too.

@-wc- Yeah cool. But if this wasn't what is generally found to be attractive it wouldn't be everywhere would it.

I like some things that aren't generally standard, but that's just it, they aren't standard. Still OK but again I don't think it matters, if people don't like F,byleth then that's OK. I do and others do, that's OK.

@Royalblues I guess you don't know much anime? She's from K-ON!

@VexingInsanity You seem to be confused, as you started this entire exchange. So I suggest you re-read from the beginning as you are the one that opened with hostility. I merely gave a detailed response. However no problem goalposts have been moved since you don’t have an actual response, have a nice day, please don't tag me again.
