      Okay but imagine unboxing your own digital soul in physical form. 😭 That’s such a cool flex—stream with the avatar and have your mini-me chilling in the background. I feel like this is where VTubing meets anime merch meets main character energy.

        This gives me major Tamagotchi-to-GameBoy-era vibes… when digital characters started bleeding into real life. But now it’s you as the character. What a time to be alive. 😄 Curious how they’ll handle updates though—like, what if I redesign my avatar six months later?

          Love the concept, but I’m wondering about scale. Like, will everyone get the same quality regardless of how complex their model is? I’ve seen custom figures before and sometimes they nail it, sometimes it’s like “oh no baby what is this.” 😅

            Wait, so this is basically VTuber Pokémon evolution. You start as a PNGTuber, become 3D, and then BOOM—now you're also a shelf collectible. Next step is having our avatars host our funerals in 2075, right? 😂 But seriously, I love the physical-digital blend—it’s where fandom is clearly headed.

              I’m curious if this could spark more “phygital” meetups too. Like, VTuber cons where everyone brings their figure and swaps stories or accessories like mini anime idols. I wonder if they’ll open up customization like clothing or seasonal looks post-launch?

                I have literally been dreaming of having a mini version of my avatar on my desk. This sounds unreal for that price.

                  Is this actually full custom or just preset mashups?

                    I have been wanting to get into VTubing but the prices were killing me. If this works, it might actually be my way in.

                      I just read about this too. The idea of holding your own avatar in your hands? It’s weirdly cute and kind of wholesome.

                        Lowkey tempted to draw the weirdest possible character just to see if they’d actually make it into a figure Imagine turning your cursed sketch into something real.

                          From what I read, they connect the digital and physical versions with a scannable tag or code. That’s kinda futuristic to be honest.

                            Curious if the physical version is just for fun or if it connects to anything else?

                                @EchoBerry This actually sounds super wholesome. Having my little avatar just sitting on my desk while I stream? Kinda love that idea.

                                  @EchoBerry I’ve never thought about my VTuber model as something I could hold. Now I can’t stop picturing it.

                                    @EchoBerry Okay but what if they let you pick the pose for the figure? That would seal the deal for me.

                                      @Liveloop Yes, from what I saw in the post, that would really make it feel like your actual character, not just some generic print.

                                        @LoopTheory Yeah, it just hit the Kickstarter phase, so there’s not much firsthand feedback yet, but it looks like the launch is happening soon. Definitely keeping an eye on it.

                                          @speedybee Haha, fair question. From what I gathered, the digital model is stream-ready; you can use it like any other 3D VTuber rig. The figure comes along with it as an extra flex.

                                            @CloudSpinner Yeah, I had the same question! From what the blog mentioned, the figure is supposed to be based directly on your custom avatar, so the detailing should be close.
