So recently i came across toy2r's new line of Domo Kun Qee's
Basically expensive vinyl collectible toys for ages 15+
They look like this.

Being the mad fanboy of Domo Kun i decided to buy a Series 1 Blind Box Display Case. Theres about 15 blind boxes in this bad boy and getting different colors of Domos are based off of ratios that are written on the boxes. Each box is sealed so you don't know which color you get. On top of that, each Domo Kun comes with one body part of a clear Domo Kun so you can build one while collecting.
So i finally got my Display box today

I was freaking excited so i opened that bad boy up. I really wanted the mystery chase figure(the one that isn't advertised on the box) which was the Gold Domo Kun so i prayed before i opened each one up.

Btw here are the ratios for each Domo Kun

Opened that display box and behold, nerd-gasm
+ Show Spoiler +

So i opened each one
Box#1
+ Show Spoiler +

Ok i got a real common color but thats ok ^-^ They say that they save the best for last

Box#2
+ Show Spoiler +

No duplicate so far! Come on come on...give me something rare

Box#3
+ Show Spoiler +

Fair enough this ones bound to pop up.

Box#4
+ Show Spoiler +

gtfo >:l

Box#5
+ Show Spoiler +

Finally something decent

Box#6
+ Show Spoiler +

I don't want to see you

Box#7
+ Show Spoiler +

I squealed like a little girl thinking it was the GID(Glow in Dark) one but it was white. fml.

Box#8
+ Show Spoiler +

Purple lol

Box#9
+ Show Spoiler +

Atleast its not a duplicate

Box#10
+ Show Spoiler +

I spoke too soon

Box#11
+ Show Spoiler +

Way too soon

Box#12
+ Show Spoiler +

At this point with 3 boxes left, i felt like shit :,[

Box#13
+ Show Spoiler +

Another basic freaking color

Box#14
+ Show Spoiler +

imo this was the only highlight of the entire stupid box

And Finally Box#15
+ Show Spoiler +

Best way to end it

So basically i got screwed over. I'm out $100 and i pretty much got the basic colors excluding the plaid and rainbow.
+ Show Spoiler +

I'm like mad depressed right now because i atleast wanted the 1/60 plaid vers, wooden vers, gold, and silver domo. FML

Am i probably gonna buy more? yea
Am i probably going to regret it in the long run? yea

Get this...remember the clear Domo Kun parts i talked about earlier? I have like fucking 8 arms, 3 bodies, and 5 legs. Guess what i'm missing. A fucking crotch. My Clear Domo Kun is missing his manhood. Out of 15 blind boxes i could not find a single crotch piece. What the hell.

P.S my pics got cut off in this thread

if you want to see full versions just right click and click view image or double click the image
The End.

I swear, any time when a company sells you packages with randomised items inside, it's secretly an elaborate marketing ploy to never give you what you want and force you to waste huge amounts of money for vanity items. And yet I also keep falling for them.

Good luck with your next Display Box. Hope you open up one with all the colours you're missing!

Series 1 is discontinued.. It took me FOREVER to find someone selling a display box.

My younger brother collects quite a bit of Domo stuff, from Domo energy drinks, cups to key chains. Thought he was hardcore...

You should do a giveaway or something with the duplicates ;D

...but that sort of sucks

I can't believe that it all cost $100 ;__; poor you T_T

Randomized collectibles are evils...I remember trying to get TC back in the day...damn good this I was poor and had no money to spend. At least domos are cute...cards are just cards...

I like the light blue one :D

Man i miss you lets hang out soon lol. The question mark one is a gold domo kun. Thing is freakishly hard to get because.
A. everyone who has one would rather trade their mother than sell me theirs
B. its ratio is above 1/120

I know your pain. Today I went to Kukje and blind boxed two Vocaloid puchis. They were both duplicates >,< I ended up selling them to my friend and buying Luka from the display case. Blind-boxing is so much fun though ^_^;

From the special edition series...

All i'm missing is the kittens one and secret chase figure(iono wtf this looks like).
[image loading]

The Crew!

I'm seriously loving the love green domo figure and the rainbow one. By far the best of the bunch!
[image loading]

Heres my retarded ass clear domo kun. I just realized i'm also missing his right foot. Crippled Domo ftw.
[image loading]

@ NeverGG
I've bought couple blind boxes before and i have to admit the Domo line is the most horrible one(referring to their ratios). Not to mention their patterns are starting to get unoriginal, they keep repeating some of the patterns =_=;;
I'm thinking about quitting blindboxing for Domos and strictly sticking with open box purchases.

Nice.
I'm a Bearbrick fan myself

Same style of collecting (blindboxes)

The designs are way cooler imo... amazing featured artists!

@NokCha: The furry green and pink sparkly ones are awesome. I noticed there are so many places to get them in Seoul too. I don't usually go into Kinki Robot, but they also had these more 'fashionable' style blind-boxed ones in Hobby Square too.

Please come join us in the Figure Maniacs blog thread - we're talking about things like this as well as other figure-related stuff.
