My BTS TinyTAN "Butter" figures arrived yesterday!
These mark the third official TinyTAN figure set, with "MIC Drop" and "Dynamite" preceding it. (It is the fourth BTS mini figure set overall, if we include Mattel's "IDOL" figures released in 2019 before the TinyTAN brand existed.) All the figures come packaged in yellow "Butter" themed boxes with clear cellophane windows in the front. Each member has his own distinct box with his name and his own comic strip-style graphics. Each figure comes with a yellow stand with the name of the respective member on the base and two stickers each to decorate the stand. (The two stickers are exactly the same, presumably to have a back-up in case you ruin one.) The figures measure 7.4cm and are made of PVC and ABS plastics. Each figure retails for ₩19,000 or $17.65 USD (approximately $23 CAD) on Weverse Shop Global.

As per usual, I need to mention that global shipping on Weverse Shop is extremely inflated as it uses DHL, so there definitely needs to be some consideration before purchasing, especially if you only want one or two figures (in which case shipping can be more than the actual product itself). Moreover, there are duties/taxes/extra fees from DHL upon delivery of the product which further inflates the cost. Living in Toronto, each figure ended up being about $27 USD ($35 CAD) after shipping and DHL fees for me, adding a whopping $10 USD per figure. On the bright side, DHL is extremely fast and usually gets delivered within 2 days, including weekend days. I guess whether or not the price is worth it lies in how much you want these figures. As I'm a collector, I would buy these regardless, so I'm really just complaining for the sake of complaining. Until Weverse Shop switches shipping carriers (please, please, please, I am begging you to go back to EMS), I'm at the mercy of DHL.

As for the figures themselves, they are, as expected, FREAKING ADORABLE. My only qualm is that they didn't give Jimin his pastel unicorn hair. I realize upon re-watching the MV that Jimin does have blonde hair in the scenes with these particular suits so it's technically accurate, but like, the pastel unicorn hair is ICONIC. Sigh. I suppose they're letting Funko Pop have it instead. (And yes, I pre-ordered already.)
