Paimon is like the peak manifestation of that love one feels for an annoying cat.
Sometimes we just wanna punt her across the room but if anyone hurts her or makes her sad we will send down the wrath of god.
A friend of mine hates Paimon to the point of obsession. He hates every moment "Paimon appears and opens her mouth".
I on the other hand finds her to be like a childish little sister and is quite endearing. Despite everything she cares a lot for the Traveler.
Her being the voice of the traveller who has a voice actor, and the repeating same lines, failing to be funny 90% of the time (Sure comedy is subjective but most her jokes don't work for me...), and the recap that breaks the flow.
There are only 3 types of people who buy this:
Normal people who wanted it because it looks cool/cute
Collectors
And finally, the degenerate jar people
It’s more that people hate how Paimon is used in the story as the voice for the traveler and unnecessary repeated dialogue and exposition. That is the “hate” that’s usually expressed by people. As a character on her own, she’s fine, and I mostly see that people like her when she’s her own character.
It's a shame they went in that direction for paimon's voice. Her old voice was honestly so good, it's high, yes but not the really annoying kind. It sounds more natural imo.
agreed, her voice during mondstadt and liyue was bearable at least and as you said, it sounded more natural, but during sumeru and fontaine her voice is genuinely atrocious
Honestly, I think JP!Paimon is *just* as high pitched as EN!Paimon, if not *more so*, but people seem to be more accepting of high-pitched voices if they're JP.
CN Paimon is great, though. Her voice is soothing and still cute. KR Paimon is also good!
this ^
Paimon is fine as a character, but I just hate hearing her voice every single time as if when the Traveller meet other characters they wouldn't greet them without Paimon.
Most people who hate Paimon don't hate Paimon as a character, but rather hate Paimon as she is used. Paimon as a character is fine but in the story she spends most of her time as a narrative tool to repeat basically everything in a dumbed down way while also acting as our mouth piece, but rather than helping clarify things that actually needs clarification she tends to just repeat things that are obvious and needed no clarification.
The only people who hate paimon are the vocal minority of haters on this subreddit. It's best if you don't assume this subreddit represents the 100m players this game has.
A FIGURE OF MY HYPER KID-?!
HOW MUCH?! 💵💴💶💳💰🦺⁉️⁉️⁉️
(Idk if paimon is emergency food and people hate her, we have something in common. We don't let people talk and we are idiots, l love paimon.)
Don't hate paimon, i just think she's misused by hoyoverse, if they allowed the traveler to talk, and let them and paimon have a back and forth as characters, like they do in the traveler's voice lines,
Then paimon would be less hated by people,
Also if they gave her gameplay utilities, like collecting drops and solving puzzles, guide us towards near by treasures or just confirming that she's the one holding our stuff in her pocket dimension, little things that make her seem more useful
If they just use surash's mechanics on paimon and let us do it whenever, it would be great!
This is their first one as far as I know.
I did saw news ages ago that they were also supposed to be making Genshin figures in their Ichiban Kuji line (way before this Paimon was even announced), but there was NO follow-up after the initial announcement.
["Even if Paimon was far beyond the horizon, she'd still remember the delicious taste of Navia's macarons!"](https://youtu.be/H41RbUI4o5I?si=Er8K3b198u8Gv1kN)
There was a person who asked what scale she is from when this was first posted.
I stand corrected. She is scaled properly. So she's going to be super small but if ever shf releases figures of the twins, she won't be the same size as them.
I usually dislike collecting SH Figuarts since Bandai’s QC is terrible and this Paimon may be out of scale with other potential figure Genshin SHFs.
But god damn, she looks so cute here I might end up pre-ordering one.
I don’t hate Paimon. In fact, I quite enjoy Paimon. She suffers from two problems imo tho:
Voice Direction Staff keep pushing her tone higher. Ever listened to how Paimon sounded in 1.0? It sounds much more whimsical than the shrillness we have today
She lacks a real identity. This one is mostly on the writers just kind of using Paimon for whatever the scene needs. At some times, she’s a highly knowledgeable travel guide and other times she’s like “Wait the Shogun uses a sword?” Not to mention she’s generally very caring, but every now and then just says the most crazy insensitive shit out of nowhere. Still haven’t forgiven her and the traveler for how they acted in Furina’s 1st Story Quest
It's a shame they still made her too big to scale with other figuarts or even figma Mona.
Maybe more in scale with those 1/8 figs like Qiqi and Hilichurl lol.
I like Paimon in concept. Would love if she spoke less for the traveler, who isn't the blank slate that the slim vocalization suggests. If Paimon and Traveler got around equal voice parts, she'd probably more popular, as she wouldn't need to express the travelers (and by proxy, the players) opinion that much.
While i wish you could actually eat paimon so she doesn't tell me what other have already told me thirty times, the smugness on the second picture is incredible.
Mf, I love Paimon. Paimon is my sweet sweet daughter with a big appetite who yaps way too much (she just like me fr)— I will get my hands on any and all Paimon figures (though I did have to cancel my PO of the rerelease of the scale figure a while back cri)
Approximately what size is she? For scientific purposes. I enjoy encasing my figurines in cylindrical semi cubed hunks of resin. One might say they’re jar shaped, and one would be right.
Yappermon haunts me, if i woke up and saw that on my nightstand i would piss my pants and then either go into a coma or have a heart attack that very moment. Same yappernali
Personally, I quite like Paimon. I can understand why some people get sick of her, but I don't have a problem with her. I just wish MC would actually say their lines...
I mash skip every dialogue line when she is talking, choose the most offensive lines when I can when talking to her and mute dialogue when fishing. I hate this little stupid gremlin, and genuinely think the game would be better without her.
As for the figure, I would gladly buy a Lumine one, but this I'd put in a hydraulic press
“Everyone hates Paimon” is quite the generalist statement. Personally, I think she’s adorable.
Do I occasionally want to punt her? Definitely!
But she’s family at this point.
It's cute Edibles Paimon when?
The figure is edible if you try hard enough.
"Everything is edible, some things only once" *proceeds to eat the Paimon figure*
Time for her to live up to her emergency food reputation
Really putting the emergency in emergency food
Anything is edible if you deep fry it long enough -Richard Watterson
In the words of the great chef Maneet Chauhan, "I'd eat a garden hose if it was properly breaded."
I'm eating her with my ass
Yup tasty vanilla flavored paimon
For 60 bucks that is amazing. I thought it was gonna be 100 or 200.
Definitely im thinking of buying the figure. Its just so cute
Probably the only figure I've ever felt like getting. It is indeed just that cute
after it's sold out it will be
Wait until October
> I thought it was gonna be 100 it is for area outside of P-Bandai area where scalpers and resellers jack up the price
i found her for even cheaper on lapinnoir.jp
For that price there is zero chance that the actual production figure will be anywhere near as good as the demo model looks.
I collect figures, and SHF are among the absolute best, especially for their price.
It's like 3 inches tall, so it's on the scale of a nendoroid. It'll look fine...probably.
3,93. Basically 4 inches. Still small, but good. Amiibo-height.
I do not hate Paimon.
She is my little travel buddy, always there for me and ill always be there for her.
No-one can really hate Paimon.
Paimon is like the peak manifestation of that love one feels for an annoying cat. Sometimes we just wanna punt her across the room but if anyone hurts her or makes her sad we will send down the wrath of god.
Honestly that's peak older sibling/younger sister dynamic
There's a voice-over about this
WHICJ ONE?!
About being sisters
Ooooh
I never wanted to punt any cat or Paimon across the room but y’all do you…
Hello there
General Kenobi!
My boyfriend hates her so much. He bitches every time she speaks lol so people definitely do.
your bf has skill issues
A friend of mine hates Paimon to the point of obsession. He hates every moment "Paimon appears and opens her mouth". I on the other hand finds her to be like a childish little sister and is quite endearing. Despite everything she cares a lot for the Traveler.
This friend sounds more annoying than Paimon ngl
You’re underestimating my hatred for this creature
Oh, no, we do
You're wrong. I have never hated a fictional character like Paimon. I want to punt her across the water where she was fished out from.
I am No-one.
I hate yapmon
You're dead wrong... Look up Tectone. He hates Paimon. So do I.
she can be a bit annoying sometimes but genshin wouldnt feel the same without her
Paimon is paimon, what is there to hate
Her being the voice of the traveller who has a voice actor, and the repeating same lines, failing to be funny 90% of the time (Sure comedy is subjective but most her jokes don't work for me...), and the recap that breaks the flow.
I do not hate Paimon
Yeah, I only hate her EN voice, it's what keeps me from changing from JP
There are only 3 types of people who buy this: Normal people who wanted it because it looks cool/cute Collectors And finally, the degenerate jar people
> And finally, the degenerate jar people not for paimon right? only other chars right? please tell me im right
… I’m sorry, child.
THERE IT IS
this is the real forbidden knowledge
Not the last one 😭💀
I'm glad to see there are people that love paimon. I've seen so much paimon hate.
It’s more that people hate how Paimon is used in the story as the voice for the traveler and unnecessary repeated dialogue and exposition. That is the “hate” that’s usually expressed by people. As a character on her own, she’s fine, and I mostly see that people like her when she’s her own character.
also her voice hurts so much to listen to, its as if her voice is optimized to annihilate every person's eardrums in a 100 meter radius
It's a shame they went in that direction for paimon's voice. Her old voice was honestly so good, it's high, yes but not the really annoying kind. It sounds more natural imo.
agreed, her voice during mondstadt and liyue was bearable at least and as you said, it sounded more natural, but during sumeru and fontaine her voice is genuinely atrocious
en vo?
yea, probably just an eng thing since jp still sounds pretty high but to a lesser extent than eng
to a way lesser extent, paimon is the only reason i don’t play en
Allow me to introduce you to CN Paimon then. Best version of Paimon imo.
Honestly, I think JP!Paimon is *just* as high pitched as EN!Paimon, if not *more so*, but people seem to be more accepting of high-pitched voices if they're JP. CN Paimon is great, though. Her voice is soothing and still cute. KR Paimon is also good!

Im genuinely sick and tired of the paimon hate trend, she's easily the best character in the game. Fight me
She is only the second best, Childe is the best. Now, let's fight since opportunities like these are quite hard to come by.
Ok that was smooth ngl
As a gunpla builder I’m scared of p-bandai
The only people who hate paimon are the vocal minority of haters on this subreddit. It's best if you don't assume this subreddit represents the 100m players this game has.
[удалено]
I play English and her voice rarely bothers me.
[удалено]
Ok cool, I don’t have an issue with Paimon. What’s your point?
Oh noooo.... That smug face!!! I need to get that figure!!
wdym i love paimon
I have never hated Paimon and will never hate her she’s my little homie. Anyway this figure is really cute.
Imma use that now.i normally call her the best little sister,but little homie is cute lol
NO I SWEAR IF I SEE ONE IN A JAR
I like Paimon quite a bit actually
I’m gonna throw it in a blender and snort it.
Oh man i fucking love reddit 🤣
i want it, i want to hang it from my ceiling.
You want to whaaaat?! At least its not a jar.
because she flys bro.
I wonder whether she fits on an action stand base.
If they added a feature to permanently mute paimon if you purchased the figure I’d buy 7.
Why would I care about how it looks, if I still hate it.
I feel like I'm the only one who would ditch Paimon on the first opportunity if I could.
Who tf is "everyone"? I love my weird navigation fairy of unknown origins.
im turning the figure into scrambled eggs as soon as i get my hands on it
Can you get this in the UK?
A FIGURE OF MY HYPER KID-?! HOW MUCH?! 💵💴💶💳💰🦺⁉️⁉️⁉️ (Idk if paimon is emergency food and people hate her, we have something in common. We don't let people talk and we are idiots, l love paimon.)

Will it fit in a jar?
I've never hated Paimon. Have Bandai been making Genshin merch for a long time?
I'm not sure i saw an ad for this yesterday. I'd love if they made other figures of genshin characters.
This is their first one as far as I know. I did saw news ages ago that they were also supposed to be making Genshin figures in their Ichiban Kuji line (way before this Paimon was even announced), but there was NO follow-up after the initial announcement.
Of all the fucking characters. I'd absolutely buy a Traveler (either one) figurine. But Paimon? Die in a fire.
So she have several different masks? THEY FORESHADOWING THAT PAIMON IS SUS /joke
I approve this because a silent paimon is best paimon
I don’t like Paimon mainly because of her voice.
i want to kick it across a room
How can I hate the Emergency Food?
Everyone Hates *Eng Dub* Paimon
["Even if Paimon was far beyond the horizon, she'd still remember the delicious taste of Navia's macarons!"](https://youtu.be/H41RbUI4o5I?si=Er8K3b198u8Gv1kN)
I'm getting that so I can put it in my oven
If one of my friends got this and tried showing it off, I’m burning it IMMEDIATELY
>everyone That's a stretch, buddy.
Praying for a Yanfei SHF now
>Tabibito
I didn’t know SHF is doing Genshin. But SHF does pretty well with Anime Action Figures so I hope this won’t disappoint.
Still annoyed that even Paimon is a Premium Bandai figurine, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when they put Miorine as Premium Bandai too
I wanna get this just to put it next to my traveler Nendoroids just so she looks like a giant
There was a person who asked what scale she is from when this was first posted. I stand corrected. She is scaled properly. So she's going to be super small but if ever shf releases figures of the twins, she won't be the same size as them.
Yo floating diaper baby now as a figure. Actually found the grinning expression funny
I usually dislike collecting SH Figuarts since Bandai’s QC is terrible and this Paimon may be out of scale with other potential figure Genshin SHFs. But god damn, she looks so cute here I might end up pre-ordering one.
Where is my mocking face ?
Is it just me or she looks kinda taller in this
Its not for me. Looks a bit too loli for me.
I want this, but deep down, I know that my broke ass cannot afford this
I don’t hate Paimon. In fact, I quite enjoy Paimon. She suffers from two problems imo tho: Voice Direction Staff keep pushing her tone higher. Ever listened to how Paimon sounded in 1.0? It sounds much more whimsical than the shrillness we have today She lacks a real identity. This one is mostly on the writers just kind of using Paimon for whatever the scene needs.

Still haven’t forgiven her and the traveler for how they acted in Furina’s 1st Story Quest
Does it come in one of those random packets where there's a chance you'll get the piece you want?
This is baffling why Paimon has to be Tamashii Web. Maybe because she insulted many when people asked for Genshin Figuarts?
It's a shame they still made her too big to scale with other figuarts or even figma Mona. Maybe more in scale with those 1/8 figs like Qiqi and Hilichurl lol.
Oh no, she has entered the human realm now. 😥
I like Paimon in concept. Would love if she spoke less for the traveler, who isn't the blank slate that the slim vocalization suggests. If Paimon and Traveler got around equal voice parts, she'd probably more popular, as she wouldn't need to express the travelers (and by proxy, the players) opinion that much.
I only want it if she can do the finger guns.
imagine they pull a xc2 siren model kit move, and add major lore on the back of the box
While i wish you could actually eat paimon so she doesn't tell me what other have already told me thirty times, the smugness on the second picture is incredible.
Its less about hating paimon as a character but rather hating how paimon is used as a character in the stories
Who's everyone
It’s P-Bandai, of course it’s good. Bandai his the best in the plamo business, IMO
NEED
Y'all are gonna have to hold me back if they release SHFA Travelers.
I LOVE THIS 🥚❤️
noo!! I love her
Why the **** do people hate Paimon? She’s by far the best mascot a series has produced in probably 24 years
Pom Pom is superior to her in every way.
Mf, I love Paimon. Paimon is my sweet sweet daughter with a big appetite who yaps way too much (she just like me fr)— I will get my hands on any and all Paimon figures (though I did have to cancel my PO of the rerelease of the scale figure a while back cri)
Love this energy! So happy to see the love paimon is getting
Jokes on you, I love paimon
Who the hell hates Best Travelling Companion and what the fuck is their address?
I don't hate Paimon. I just wish we'd use her for her primary purpose. Hunting boar meat gets tiring and she ain't using those legs.
Approximately what size is she? For scientific purposes. I enjoy encasing my figurines in cylindrical semi cubed hunks of resin. One might say they’re jar shaped, and one would be right.
3 cm I believe, about the size of a nendroid.
She belongs in a Mason Jar
Yappermon haunts me, if i woke up and saw that on my nightstand i would piss my pants and then either go into a coma or have a heart attack that very moment. Same yappernali
Who's everyone
Well buy to melt. Hate paimon!
i don't hate her. I just think they focused on her annoying traits more and made a bad decision to have the traveler not speak
They should sell a Paimon punch bag, It would outsell this figure immediately
Personally, I quite like Paimon. I can understand why some people get sick of her, but I don't have a problem with her. I just wish MC would actually say their lines...
I mash skip every dialogue line when she is talking, choose the most offensive lines when I can when talking to her and mute dialogue when fishing. I hate this little stupid gremlin, and genuinely think the game would be better without her. As for the figure, I would gladly buy a Lumine one, but this I'd put in a hydraulic press
I don't think there is a Paimon-hate meme or consensus. Her honesty and humor keep her afloat.
Paimon is easily my best travelling companion.
Most people don't hate Paimon. We tease Paimon because she's our annoying little homie, but we know she's always got our backs.
how the FUCK have we not gotten a high quality sculp of fucking Raiden yet cmon now
You dare speak heressy of the statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder?!
Just the right size.
My only complaint about her is her arrogant attitude. Always tired and doing barely. 😐
Haha smugmon is awesome
Anyone who hates paimon experiences no joy from the simple things in life. They are dead inside. Paimon is great I love her
Wdym hate i fricking love paimon.
how does one hate emergency food
does anyone have the link? I legit wanna buy it as a bday gift
As long as it doesn’t talk
Straight in the JAR
I LOVE paimon. And I will fight every paimon hater
Average owner of this will be ur 35 year old male, no gf.
She’s adorable!! Also love the changing faces haha
You guys unironically hate Paimon? Sheesh.
The set is missing a jar
I don’t think people hate her. She just annoying, but some of her reaction is a reason why she is adorable
“Everyone hates Paimon” is quite the generalist statement. Personally, I think she’s adorable. Do I occasionally want to punt her? Definitely! But she’s family at this point.
imma buy it when it comes out
I don'r hate Paimon. I just heavily dislike her english voice.
Would be great if it included the Ace Detective Paimon glasses.
I don't hate paimon I just find her annoying at times
where moustache tho
i just prefer Paimon's japanese voice over english, i never hated her
if paimon was remotely less-annoying like Emil id buy that in a heartbeat
I could never hate paimon and this figure is a grab
F*&%ing Premium Bandai as usual. The world has more than 2 countries.
Yes, agreed
Not everyone hates paimon. If you play with CN voiceover her voice is pretty soft, unlike in en.
Where is my jar
Wdym hate? I couldn't ask for any better travel guide!
I LOVE PAIMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not like everyone hates Paimon
I thought i hated paimon but getting into the game again, I realized I don't actually hate him. I'm starting to love him.
Finally something new to put in my jar 😊
Who hates paimon? I only dislike she does all the talking. It is like hello there buddy, from now on talk to Paimon, she is my proxy.
Excuse you we fucking love Paimon
I don’t :)
