So I just came across this Kickstarter project called Phygital in a VTuberLab blog, and it honestly blew my mind a bit. It’s basically a fully custom 3D VTuber avatar plus a physical collectible figure of your model, like your avatar on your shelf. The wild part? Pricing starts at $399–$499 for early VIPs.

Compared to the usual $2K+ you see for full-body models, this feels kinda disruptive. I am curious, has anyone here actually tried it yet, or planning to? Or is it just a hype?

I think the virtual me is who I wish I could be in real life, more confident, expressive, and unapologetically weird. It’s freeing in a way.

@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.

@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.

@lunar I have been thinking the same, having a tiny version of my avatar just chillin’ on my desk?? Waw.

@cloud From what I read, it’s supposed to be fully custom, not just pieced together presets. The blog mentioned model + figure are built from scratch per person.
