Are the otakus okay???

This showed up in my YT feed and it was too cursed not to share. What gets me is that this is an officially licensed, SquareEnix-approved product what-the-hell

It's seemingly made by one of those Chinese companies that make incredibly realistic and expensive action figures for rich nerds so it's technically not a RealDoll but there's probably a reason why its life-sized and why they chose the HoneyBee Inn outfit

Imagine visiting someone's house and seeing this thing on their couch

spoilerAlso imagine what it'll look like in 20 years once the silicone starts to degrade

officially-licensed

Where are you seeing that? I'd assume this is unlicensed until proven otherwise like those resin statues of Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen with his cock out

It seems I just naively assumed you wouldn't be able to produce something like this without SE having a say about it

It was also sold alongside more legitimate looking merch

...it's generally prudent to assume that any foreign-branded merchandise produced in china for the chinese market is more likely than not unlicensed...

For some reason I assumed unlicensed merchandise would always be cheap
