>>109793592Fucking took them long enough. Hopefully this helps the shipping prices
>>109793592Cover USA is a success
>>109793592they’re pivoting to the children’s market
>>109793592they really want to become the next Disney...
>Mori Calliope, Takanashi Kiara, and Ninomae Ina’nis, three of the most influential and recognizable VTubers in the world.Nooooot really... You might have been able to say that about Gura, but Kiara and Ina are not even remotely mainstream.
>>109796781"of the most" and "in the world" are doing a lot of the heavy lifting thereYes, they're some of the most influential and recognizable globally, but there really aren't many alternatives outside of japan. As far as vtubers go, yeah they're some of the biggest globally. It's all semantics, though. After Gura and Mori, there's a massive gap to the next few chuubas that would be known globally.
>>109796781but everyone is trying to push the my ina meme
Why the fuck is this community so god damn focused on consuning product?

Is this place filled with bots and mindless SEA retards and nothing else?
>>109797469Above that it’s malcontents, Kvetch and petulant people who have nothing better to do.
>>109797238Vtubing is entertainment bussiness, not a charity, commie.
>>109797583Shut up nigger. I've bought plenty of merch in the past for the two talents I like. There's been a big ramp-up in metch production in the last year and some change, and I'm tired of half of the focus being on spending money.>>109797541Crazy to think that probably half of this board is fags who came here from watching those shitty 'youtuber reads 4chan threads' videos.
>>109793592Took way too long so I won't bother buying merch until my city gets an actual event
>>109797238Cover needs INFINITE GROWTH for their investors.
>>109798108The investors? Me
>>109797784Sure thing, esl commie.
>>109798108Last time i checked blackrock have 10% of nijisanji stock while 0% from cover. Also a rumor they want to buy phase.
>>109793592cool
>>109799469God you fags are insufferable. I can only imagine how much bitching you'd have done when the earlier internet was filled with piracy. You gonna cry when I watch restreams of FES instead of throwing away $100?
>>109799568Seethe more, commie.
>>109795429>they’re pivoting to the children’s marketThe EN project director did vaguely mention that some talents might change direction to be more family friendly. JAKKS Pacific makes kids toys for North America. I am really skeptical that current 1.0 design Ina with her skimpy default outfit would be getting kids merch. A tiny skirt, boob window, and high heeled geisha shoes is not the type of figures and plushies they would usually stock at the kids section at Walmart.>>109796781>You might have been able to say that about Gura, but Kiara and Ina are not even remotely mainstreamGura figures could have been sold as kids merch so in several ways management actually messed up badly with stuff like the pedobait daki. That was such a short term mistake and so it's sadly ironic that only after losing Gura did they decide to start releasing kids merch. Also there is some implication that some talents are going more towards family friendly content.
>>109799667Just a salient reminder of what kind of people the majority of vtuber fans are.
>>109793592>Buy Kiara toys for your son>He grows up and becomes 18>Brings his first girlfriend home>It's a 30 year old white woman with a huge ass that cosplaysHow do you handle this situation?
>>109797238>>109797784>>109798108>>109799568>>109799780Just a reminder that you are fucking irrelevant
>>109800313Just a reminder that you are SEA.I probably have more Holo merch than your broke ass pretending that you actually spend money. Larping faggot.
>>109800274sex with austrian woman
>>109799757Stop projecting you're own fetishize on to ina>muh pedobait Saba is a lolicon who begged the jp staff for a dakimura slit your throat outfitschizo
>>109800329>Hololive fans only consume product>S-shut up I have more merch than you! Truly astounding levels of irony, you sure got him anon.
>The product line will debut with collectibles and consumer products inspired by Mori Calliope, Takanashi Kiara, and Ninomae Ina’nis, three of the most influential and recognizable VTubers in the world.lol, lmao
>>109801219Are they wrong though? Unless you're in Japan and are Japanese.
>>109801163I've bought a myriad of things over the last 6 years of watching. They've increased output of shit merch and collabs ten-fold over the last 2 years. Suck my nuts consumerist fag.
>>109801278>I've bought a myriad of things>Suck my nuts consumerist fag.
>>109801319It's like time isn't a concept to your faggot monkey brain.
>>109793592NOOOOOO MUH SECRET HOBBY MY SECRET CLUB. I hope they bring in TONS of normalfags and Vtubing becomes as mainstream and commercialized as anime was in the late 90s and 2000s just to spite ( you )
Just a reminder that Cover, not the talents will be the ones benefiting from this.
>>109801061>Stop projecting you're own fetishize on to inaAnon step back and consider whether a company that sells kids toys to North America retail stores would sell toys of default outfit Ina. That level of a sexualized design is standard with otaku figure merch in Japan but they definitely aren't going on shelves at Walmart. There is a huge shift going from the coombait merch in something like the "dive into Hololive" cafe merch and selling kids merch at western retail stores. Cover rushed out this announcement but it feels like it should have been done after the Drawn to Dawn concert. They usually are secretive when a talent gets a redesign but the only way this could be more suspicious would be Hololive announcing kids merch for Kronii.
>>109802641Holy shit you just love making shit up huh?
As a kid growing up with the WWE line by them, expect>Art deco skipped>Body molds reused (Kiara and Mori will likely have the same chest)>No soft goods
