On July 3, 2023, popular streamers Matthew “Mizkif,”Emily “Emiru,”Hasan “HasanAbi,”and “Ludwig”Ahgren got together at the ongoing Anime Expo 2023. During their interaction, Ludwig revealed that he had spent $1,000 on a Trigun figurine. The YouTube Gaming personality said it was the “most expensive”item available at the convention.

Ludwig’s expenditure on the anime figure astounded Emiru. Matthew then recalled spotting impressive merchandise featuring the popular anime series One Piece at the Anime Expo that was also valued at $1,000.

Ludwig mentioned purchasing an anime figurine at the five-hour mark of Emiru’s livestream. He provided details about it, saying:

“It’s a thousand dollars. It was the most expensive figurine. It’s from Trigun.”

The One True King (OTK) co-founder then urged Emiru to look at the item. She exclaimed:

“This is a thousand?”

Mizkif joined the conversation and mentioned seeing One Piece figures that were significantly larger than what Ludwig had purchased:

“Emi, you remember those sick things we saw for $999? Dude, literally, like this big! It was $999. (HasanAbi asks where Mizkif saw the One Piece merchandise) Inside. It’s awesome!”
