best proxy?

I just spent $160 on the three retail fumos.
why is this shit so expensive?
>>24051962
i wouldn't recommend zenmarket. they mistook my fumos for being duplicates and cancelled the order, making me wait for a long time, and then they 'accidentally' cancelled 2 of my girls and only sent one and made me pay for domestic shipping twice.

>>24051962
Big in Japan worked perfectly for me.

>>24051962

FromJapan is good for smaller orders and is pretty easy to understand, but you don't know what you'll really be paying until after you've ordered the thing and it's shown up in their warehouse.

Buyee has super good implementation of Yahoo auctions Japan, but it has quite a few fees. The packaging is pretty good.

>>24054499
buyee is expensive and they charge you for everything.

Fumo birthday presents!
Cirno really wanted a slurpee

>>24055654
Are you also a mycology fan?
I've been getting into that a bit. I wish I had an assistant ze

>>24057037
Happy birthday fumofumo!

I see Cirno is being a baka

How often does Gift sell Fumos? i feel like every time I check they're always sold out. Need more Touhou.

>>24060731
not that often, usually around comiket or reitaisai

>>24060154
Seems popular with fumos.

>>24064444
It looks like an alternative cap for Suwako. Striking color similarity as well.

>>24055654
This is what Gensokyo used to be about.

>>24060154
You anons are so cool. It would be amazing to go walking through the woods looking at mushrooms with anons and fumos. The dream.

>>24067587
What a nice gift.

I recently scanned the Inu Sakuya cardboard box's front and back in case anyone wanted to make their own or make a vector from it. Sorry for not having the best quality but it's the best my scanner can do

>>24067587
I love photos like these. Where the two fumo expressions contrast perfectly.

Can you spot the bird in the trees?

>>24071969
Neat, but the closer to the top of the image the fuzzier it gets.

>>24051826

Is there any guide for a DIY fumo??

>>24072182
where?

>>24071969
I gave it a shot

>>24073436
Thanks for your work, I took yours and cleaned it up further by positing it over the original and cleaning it up.

Page 10 just won't do.

>>24067587
They're not getting along very well

>>24084286
now kiss

Working on making a Flandre 'cause I don't have $200 to spare nor the patience for waiting for her to go in stock anywhere else. Any tips on how to not screw her up entirely?

Kaguya up for auction. This is not a drill

https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/t730475359

>>24091293
i tried to bid on that but its a scam, im 99% sure the seller is using a bot to inflate the cost

>>24091346
I think you're right as well. Every attempt to bid fails.

kaguya re-release when?

>>24093730
I'm pretty sure finding her Fumo is a task to get her hand

>>24086623
Which one? Is it one of the auctions on Yahoo jp?

>>24091346
>>24094021
Misclicked.

>>24094049
>>24094021
yes its all the auctions by the seller "dwathm_452" they all dont work and are instantly outbidded which makes me think theyre using a bot to get more money

Somebody stop her

>>24094245
What if it's a Yakuza money laundering scheme using fumos to transfer money around. If they get busted with too much cash they can show their Yahoo auctions invoice and explain to the authorities that they just sold their leather jacket Reisen for ¥800000.

>>24094245
Damn, and I was checking out that Satori.

>>24094245
I think you're misunderstanding how Yahoo Japan auctions work. When you set a bid, you're actually setting an upper limit for yourself. So let's say you put down 5000 yen for an item, but bidding starts at 1500. That means that if someone were to put a bid down for 3000 yen, it would be outmatched by the next closest interval (3500) set by the first bidder automatically. This is how you can racket up bids and constantly get outbidded until the 5000 yen limit is exceeded. I checked the guy's auctions and there was nothing suspicious, especially given all the good ratings.

The reason why bids work like that is to discourage sniper bids and give people who have a set limit a bigger advantage so that if they're not available to watch the auction, they can rest easy in not getting beaten to the punch.

>>24095323
>Reisen for ¥800000
Uh...how much does a shirt Reisen cost then? I don't want to pay like, idk, 790000 extra for a fumo blazer

>>24096754
Doesn't surprise me, I know that's how eBay works. Figured the other guy was suggesting it was almost instant, like the price was accepted as max bid for a bit but quickly beat.

>>24097031
you receive an email notification when you're outbid, so that's still possible.

DHL was given an extremely wrong address and my package with 7 fumos is in a state across the country. I tried updating the address once I realized it was wrong and tried contacting DHL, but they have stopped responding and tracking now says "no information available" regarding the delivery date. Should have arrived 2 days ago but now it's just sitting in their delivery facility 20 hrs of driving away from me so it's not like I can just go pick it up.

Any advice?

Beer!

>>24101236
The tracking just updated and said "Shipment arrived at wrong facility. Sent to correct destination"

They're saved! DHL wasn't too responsive but it seems they certainly pulled through. Hopefully the cuties arrive quickly and safely.

They’re not impressed

>>24105669
Why are Reimu and Marisa asphyxiating Tenshi with a plastic bag?

>>24105860

That's why.

>>24106435
You're next, buddy.

>>24103682
How fortunate, mine are still stuck in a center and should have been delivered a week ago.

>>24107090
I hope your softs arrive safe, I'd be worried from the mass chimpouts going on nowadays

>>24107009
That's fine by me too, especially if 2hus are doing it.

>>24105669
Someone’s jealous...

>>24110741
Oh my lord...

I have a couple hundred dollars to spend, can anyone give some advice on how to actually buy these things...
I've had bad experiences buyfagging on /a/ trying to figure out how to use buyee in the past and I'd be grateful if you guys can help me before making a mistake

>>24109926
Looks like we all have our share of problems, I couldn't avoid the taxman. Hope you're safe bro
>>24114119
What's your issue?

>>24114119
Which fumo are you looking for?

>>24114119
>things
The first question to ask yourself would be if you are able to take care of a fumo. Remember you need to talk to her, drink tea and eat dinner with her. I would mull over how much attention you are able to give. Fumos have souls and feelings even though they don't openly express themselves.
Can you take her on walks?
Can you cuddle her in bed?
Can you clean her up when she gets dirty?
See, having a fumo is a big responsibility...

See that Cirno? You can tell she has a responsible owner.
She's having a blast

>>24127033
Of course shes having a blast. She may be the strongest fairy, but it’s no fun being the loneliest fairy. Having friends is very fun.

It's probably going to sell for way more than that, there are still a couple of days left in the auction. At least it's not like Tewi or Reisen

Reimu Hakurei, from Touhou Project.

>>24135724
That's wagyu right? Is that a fucking A5?

Today I decided to do a little fumo surgery on my third Yuugi. Given that I use older v1 flans, they tend to be a bit deflated with regards to stuffing. This was especially so with Yuugi 3. So I cut open the back of her head by undoing the stitches, and stuffed her head with more stuffing!
Before pic

>>24139258
And heres the after!
While it is hard to get rid of the long term effects of understuffing, as it basically was folded in on itself for who knows how many years, I did manage to fill out the most noticeable crease underneath her right eye.

>>24139268
When are you going to restuff a bootleg dekafumo?

>>24139339
I first would need to buy a bootleg deka!
As of right now I am waiting on a 40cm Yuugi plush I commissioned that is serving as a deka Yuugi for me at the moment, as shes over half the size of a deka!

>>24135692

These make me unreasonably happy

>Leg Reimu isn't real. She can't hurt you.

two months and my package still cannot be send to me
also there's Chen on Yahoo but i have no money, AAA!

>>24143943
That Chen is absurdly overpriced anyway.

Please do not buy overpriced fumos kudasai. All you’re doing is overpaying and further increasing the already inflated prices in the fumo aftermarket.

how much does a normal fumo go for in this day and age

Really interesting thread.
I've been considering buying a Remilia's Fumo, but it's my first time.
How much could it cost and where could I find it as cheaply as possible? (including second hand sites)

>>24156569
Have you tried looking through the OP sites for her?

fumos are so expensive :(

>>24158165
yeah i dont even own 1

Yeah no worry your package is just delayed, next thing I know it's being sent back. Guess I'll never use my country's EMS again

>>24158745
Yuyukos in germany?!
What is she trying to make, that looks like Pfannkuchen or maybe some kind of cake? Cant really tell the other ingredients

>>24161906
I'm sorry you have had to deal with this

>>24163030
I work in logistics so I know shit happens but if you can't deliver just give me an address and I'll pick it up. At this point I just want to prevent the package from leaving the country becasue I dread having to deal with EMS again + begging buyee from a refund.

It only took 2 months due to covid, but my Sanae has arrived, ready to become Keiki in order to trade with Ikuanons Suika

>>24163797
Suika and I are warmly waiting for your completion! Good luck Yuugi anon!

>>24194411
>i know a sewing/embroidery machine is used,
actually no, only a handful of custom makers actually make them entirely from scratch. I used sanae as a base fumo, and colored the eyes using acrylic paint.
and in my case specifically, i dont even own a sewing machine, everything i do is by hand

>>24187883

Shipping out of Japan is pretty screwed up at the moment. Japan Post is basically useless so you have to pay for courier (ie DHL) unless you can wait six months.

>>24196164
Shipping shouldn't cost that much for a fumo, but I guess prices go really high if you live somewhere where international shipping is inconvenient at the moment. Surface shipping only costs like 5 bucks here in America

>>24196436
That looks like Eric Cartman dressed as Flan.

>>24196436
Flan looses her hands and feet from diabetes.

>>24197277
Every fumo looks like cartman to be honest.

>>24197459
I can see the resemblance.

>>24187804
She is done!

>>24194494
i see, thats quite eye-opening. i dont own a fumo per say, only a nesoberi sanae which i wouldnt necessarily want to use as a template, so maybe ill try making one from scratch, perhaps only a head for starters

It's a nice memento I can hug, and didn't have to worry about forwarders or auctions, I could just go into a store and buy it.
If going to Japan is ever something you can afford, consider it. You can get some soft girls to join you on the plane home

Anyone here have experience customizing fumos? I've been trying to learn how to sew so I could make the Touhous I want, and I was hoping I could find someone who'd have more knowledge on turning fumos into different characters.
-How exactly do you go about changing eye colour on a fumo? Is it just done with markers?
-On the newer fumo models, I've noticed that the back side of the head sort of has the hair colour baked into it, is that something I should be troubled about? I don't think any fumo naturally has the hair/eye colour and secondary characteristics that I want for the character I wanna make.
Thanks in advance.

>>24258581
Eye colour can be changed with fabric paint. The scalp already being a different colour isn't a problem, you can kind of just sew another layer of fabric on top of it to cover it up. The most important thing is getting a fumo that has the facial expression you want, since that's kind of hard to change. Do also consider using non-touhou Gift plushies as a base.

>>24258581
>-How exactly do you go about changing eye colour on a fumo? Is it just done with markers?
do not use markers at all! I use acrylic paints for all of my custom fumos, just use a small brush, apply light layers, and go slowly and youll be fine
>-On the newer fumo models, I've noticed that the back side of the head sort of has the hair colour baked into it, is that something I should be troubled about? I don't think any fumo naturally has the hair/eye colour and secondary characteristics that I want for the character I wanna make.
yeah the scalp you can just cover up either by using the hair, or you can stitch a new scalp in your desired color on top of it simply enough.
as for what >>24259032 says
yeah expression is arguably the most important thing, but not necessarily a deal breaker, I made a ruukoto (pic related) that used a sakuya v1 as a base, and i simply used a needle to undo the thread for the mouth, and stitched in a smile, as i thought a smile fit ruukoto more than a frown

>>24258581
and heres an example of one of my customs with painted eyes. note, marisa v1 was used as the base

>>24251736
Too much soft.

>>24259032
>>24259084
>>24259101
Thanks a bunch for the helpful advice, anons. I've still got a lot to learn before I can actually start, but one day, hopefully soon, I want to make these plans a reality.
I'm definitely no artist, though, that's for sure.

Do you recommend that I use White Rabbit or should I use Blackship? If the friend I want gets reissued I want to be able to place my order before she sells out, and I'm worried that using White Rabbit will be too slow. Am I just being paranoid?

>>24260417
Oooh, very cute junko design!
for the design on the tabard and hat, you should use transfer paper for them, thats what my friend did when he made his junko! best of luck though friend, hopefully soon you will have a junko in your life!

>>24260417
wholesome sketch

>>24260501
I've never heard of Blackship, but White Rabbit is very slow. If you're ordering directly from Gift, you're better off using your own credit card and getting a proxy forwarding address from Big in Japan or Tenso.

Makes you think...

i got Tenshi half year ago, tell me why i should open here from plastic cage

(1) because she can't breathe
(2) so you can play with her
(3) because fumos are friends, not investments

Fumos are beating virtually every other class of investment at the moment.

Alright /fumo/, it's time for a round of questions.
Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
What made you get one in the first place?
How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?

Bonus points if you can post a fresh picture of your first ふもふも, here's mine.

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
Alice V1 was my first fumo and i have her for around 3 years now.
>What made you get one in the first place?
A japanese friend of my brother at the time, told me about fumos since he knew i like touhou and visited the cons often.
He visited his parents in japan regularly so i asked him to get me one if he can.
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
I only have the V1 Alice and recently (like 4 months ago) bought a Reimu V1.
There is a lot of fumos i would want like Reisen, Yuuka, Tewi and some more but the ones i really want would be either Yuyuko or Mokou.
All of the ones i want except Yuuka maybe, seem to be very rare but im sure i will get a Mokou or Yuyuko at some point!

My Alice seems to have a factory error on one of her eyes, so she has bad eyesight.

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
Cirno is my first fumo and I have had her for 3 years.
>What made you get one in the first place?
Fumo threads. My friend was going to Japan, and asked if I wanted any souvenirs. It reminds me of him and the memories we shared together. We don't really talk anymore, but she reminds me of time in Japan, and happy memories.
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
I have 4 fumos. Maybe next time I am in Japan I will get another Fumo

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
Tenshi
>What made you get one in the first place?
I wanted to have someone that could see the world with me, someone I could take anywhere and experience things with me
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
Just tenshi

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?/What made you get one in the first place?
Yuyuko! I've had her since maybe 2013-14? She was a gift from someone I used to know.
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
3 strong currently, I'd like to complete the Moriya trio with a Suwako and a Sanae at some point, it's just a matter of finding them at an affordable price.

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
Satori was my first fumo 6 years ago
>What made you get one in the first place?
when I saw the fumo threads back in 2014
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
I have wayyy too many fumos now. I am missing Hatate, Meiling, and remilia. I have mostly everyone else, a few of the off brand touhou plushies, and all of the touhou nesos.

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
My first fumo is Yuyuko 1.5, and I've had her for about 10 months now.
>What made you get one in the first place?
Always saw fumos within touhou communities so I eventually caved in and bought one. Plus I love the way they look
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
Currently got these girls in pic related, and a Sakuya in shipping purgatory. Really want a Meiling but she is rather hard to get if you don't want to spend $100+ on her.

>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
Inu Sakuya, found her about five years ago for relatively cheap because she was missing her box.
>What made you get one in the first place?
I wanted some Inu Sakuya merch, she's such a cute pupper. That and I kinda wanted some soft things to break up my collection a bit from all the 40k/Gunpla and being an avid gamer, touhou was a good fit.
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
I have added a handful of fumos. Remi and Flan, Reisen and Yuuka. I don't really plan on expanding anymore as well, I already have the ones I wanted. Although part of me wants to get a custom of either Seras Victoria or Schrodinger for a little Hellsing flair.

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
Flandre technically, although she was bought with the sole purpose of becoming Yuugi, and was Flan for about 10 seconds total before I began turning her into Yuugi. And I made her back in August of 2018, so almost 2 years.
>What made you get one in the first place?
I wanted a cute plushie of Yuugi!
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
Counting the Fumos I have in the mail I am at 20

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
My first two fumos were Cirno and Mokou, they both arrived on 9/9/19, the strongest day.
>What made you get one in the first place?
I like collecting things, and as soon as I learnt they existed through chance on JP, I got one
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
I currently own 13 Fumos, and there are many other Fumos that I'd like to collect. Although they're still too expensive for the time being.

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
I got lucky and got a fumo of my favorite 2hu suwako
>What made you get one in the first place?
I see these threads everyday when I go on /jp/ and I thought they looked cute.
>How big is your fumoly now, and do you plan on expanding it?
I ordered a Tan Cirno 3 months ago but she got stuck in shipping hell but now shes at a buyee warehouse, I wish Buyee wasn't so expensive because I'll probably have paid 130 aud by the time she gets here.

Tenshi at the algae-filled pond!

I think my EMS managed to get my soft lost while sending it back. Buyee doesn't have any info, neither does any tracker. Rip Arisu

>>24289630
Yukari and Ran, got them both in 2014.
Strong Touhou obsession at the time, spare cash, /v/ Soku threads, probably never really got past the desire to hug stuffed animals from when I was a child.
Reimu (fumo), Reimu (nendo plush), Yukari, Ran, Remilia (white dress), Flandre (1.5), Sanae, Reisen, Marisa (blue eyes), Sora (OJ Plush)
Don't have the spare cash and now really isn't the time to order stuff. In general, I probably have too many.

does anyone know how to properly clean a fumo after they are done adventuring outdoors?
not too sure how to clean one without damaging the hair fabric since i cleaned my sanae fumo and her hair turned a bit more rough after air drying her

>>24289630
>Who was your first soft girl and how long have you been a fumo owner for?
A bootleg Remi! I bought her back in 2013 and I was still a kid, so I didn't know she was bootleg until I started lurking /fumo/ and did research

> What made you get one in the first place?
I was a huge Touhou fan at that time and found her at the local anime store. Silly of me for buying a bootleg item, but she is still my soft girl <3 There was seldom any Touhou merchandise around me back then so I just wanted to get my hands on anything Touhou I could find without thinking. (I have a lot of bootleg Touhou things from my childhood now lol)

I don't have other fumos because I am into Nesoberi plushies now, but if I had the money I would get a (legitimate) Flan for Remi!! (And if i were rich, the whole SDM!)

Youmu, no!

>>24308446
Oh no. Don't serve up your soft friends to your master Youmu!

He put it in the description of a different video:

Although I imagine any mild, color-preserving detergent will do. His more recent videos have more tips on technique and how not to damage the delicate details of the fumo clothes (e.g. ribbons, fabric glue, rubber stripes/decals)

There is an original EX1 deka Reimu and original EX2 deka Marisa available on Suruga-ya at the moment, for someone with a suitable home.

lolno

Suruga just slashed all their prices on their fumos as part of a flash sale! You can get a v1 Sanae for 3200 yen, a Cirno for 4950, and so on! Don't miss out!

Update on custom fumo Mayumi: I re-did the hair using double stick fusible interfacing on fleece! Its much thicker and perfect for her hair. I haven't finished making her armor yet, so I gave her a little scarf to keep her warm.

Ran playing Sega!

>>24322850
Unless you miraculously happened to get one of the EX6/EX7 dekas from the recent release, that is pretty much the going rate - such is fumonomics. I paid ¥61k for a deka Cirno in January 2018 and ¥58k for a deka Marisa in March 2018, both in excellent condition, and there were few choices in the year or so leading up to that. Conservatively, I would say that ~10 dekas come up for sale on YAJ + Suruga-ya combined, in any given year.

As >>24323940 said Suruga-ya has a sale on until 2020-06-21 23:59 JST - Reimu is ￥52,800 and Marisa is ￥44,550. However, if anyone is interested, you will have to order in moon runes directly via Suruga-ya's website and ship to a forwarder (like Big in Japan), because Buyee *will* fail to purchase during the sale and will then cancel your order due to the price difference being above their threshold. Forwarding a deka to your country will likely cost around another ￥10k.

>>24325659
>that is pretty much the going rate
But it shouldn't be, which has been previously discussed. Don't support price gouging.

>>24324214
She looks absolutely adorable anon! I can't wait to see her with armor!

>>24328625
That's about what they go for in auction so it's not really gouging. It's a historically accurate market value. You may not be willing to pay that much, but other people are and that's why they go for so much even at auction. A couple sold on YAJ a few weeks ago for about that much when the starting bit was way lower than that.

>>24324773
Fumos seem to have an affinity for Sega.

Oh no! Cirno got an F in Fumology and now shes in summer school!!! Keine is definitely gonna need her teaching assistant Mokou for this job

Anons there is any fumo about maid dragon?

>>24335170
What a baka! And yet I can't help but feel sorry for her.

>>24335170
I could never write that clearly on the board

>>24337895
There are plushes, but no fumos.

>>24333387
>It's a historically accurate market value.
As further evidence of that, they had sold within six hours of my post. Whilst I'm not suggesting that my post had anything to do with it, it would be nice if it was a fumoanon(s).

what do you do with the tags?

The elastic string keeping Kokoro's mask got super loose. I didn't even notice. I'll have to repair it somehow.

>>24340376
I removed them without damaging them, and place them in the top right drawer of my desk
Sometimes I look at them

>>24324773
Wow that's an old TV.
Was there a reason you never made the switch?

>>24340376
I cut them off and put them in a plastic sandwich bag with the others.

>>24342232
It's a old photo, Ran got a better TV!~

Does buyee still deliver to europe? Netherlands to be more specific?

Youmu is 6600円 on half day sale. Is this legit or a scam technique to lure poor saps like me in? Can suruga-ya be trusted?

>>24345631
surugaya is an actual chain of secondhand doujin/anime/manga/game goods within japan, them selling fumos is as legitimate as it gets on the secondhand market

>>24345631
buy her before someone else does

>>24345631
Suruga-yu is definitely legit and I have successfully bought a number of items from them. As I mentioned >>24325659 though, you will need to order via their website and ship to a forwarder. There is about 80 minutes left in the sale. They have sales about every 5-15 days, IIRC.

I never realized how useful Tewi's ears could be.

>>24346450
Are you not afraid of overstressing the wires and breaking them? I'm super paranoid with my Reisen.

Side note: wish I had a Tewi too...

>>24345932
>>24345648
>>24345846
>They have sales about every 5-15 days, IIRC
I missed it since the time zones are different but thanks for the advice, I willkeep an eye out for the next sale

>>24346450

>>24346943
They'd probably have to be in that position for years to break them.

>>24347977
Overstressing happens due to repeated bending of metal, time isn't really the important factor. If you bend the ears back and forth too much, the wires can break. If you contort them into more extreme positions, this could accelerate the process.

>>24351628
you mean work hardening?

>>24346450
Don't bend your bune ears too much

>>24351628
>>24353567
I don't really intend to keep bending them back and forth, I'm satisfied with the position they're in right now.

>>24354375
Good

>>24335170
she will lose her tan color after staying inside the classroom whole summer

>>24351849
Yeah, that's the term. Thanks.

be sure to love and care for your fumo !

>>24357541
I don't know if this is exactly loving.

I made a rough, tutorial-ish thing on how to cover up a fumo's scalp for custom purposes!

Thanks for the video though, i was thinking of starting making customs!

Now that is one smug bug

how can i buy Chen if she's out of stock?

>>24335170
Couldn't Cirno just take the fumotography course to compensate for the lost credit?

>>24363671
All those customs...
Amazing!

>>24119303
This is why I can't get fumos or dakimakuras. Too much responsibility. Besides, I have a beard and that can supposedly damage the dakimakuras.
I'm still considering actually getting a pillow, just without the pillowcase: It'd be nice to have something to hug while sleeping.

>>24370070
jesus christ how horrifying

I highly suggest you do extensive research into dakis before purchasing one because its pretty clear you haven't.

Ive been wanting to get my first Fumo, and I'm wondering what is the average price for a Remi or Koishi?

>>24370714
Check the fumo information spreadsheet here, someone has been keeping an up-to-date price list and rarity for the fumos. Not sure why it isn't in the OP

Remis are common and always on sale somewhere for a decent price, provided you're ok with it being second hand. Koishi isn't as common but she isn't as expensive as many others

>Not sure why it isn't in the OP
There are a few things which should be in the OP but aren't.

>>24375954
Wow!
So good!

>>24370603
Don't worry, I'm not planning on getting one. That was just the only relevant image I had on my computer.

>>24377670
Do "anime shops" even exist now?
Eshopping should've destroyed all of them.

>>24378440
not him but they exist here in america in varying quality. some are just glorified nendoroid and wall scroll shops, while others have gunpla and plushies added to the mix, i have yet to see a fumo in one though

Yuugi-anon here with another custom fumo im gonna make! Please place guesses as to who it could be! I already have other fabrics for other parts of the fumo, the hair will be the same color as my kisume. Please wait warmly while things ship!

>>24382510
Will you get her any accessories?
If you're still ordering fabrics, now could be the time to consider it!

>>24382866
aside from parts on her body (which are being made from that grey fabric), this character doesnt actually have accessories!

>>24382510
Wakasagihime?

>>24382893
Correct! The fins and tail will be made from that nice blue grey fabric!

>>24370070
Time to learn responsibility fren

What's this mysterious box? Mayumi investigates!

Heave ho! Mayumi is working hard to see what's inside!

Mayumi INSTANTLY recognises who she is! She hurriedly pulls her out of the box!

It's KEIKI FROM YUUGI ANON!

A big warm reunion hug! Thank you, now Mayumi isn't alone! I hope my Suika arrives to you very soon!

I know Suika will arrive soon to be reunited with her Oni friends!
Thank you very much again for doing the first custom fumo friendship exchange! And I'm ecstatic that it turned out this well!!

>>24387666
Congratulations on your new fumo!
Her clothes look really pretty.

>>24377670
Where is this? I know this is in Ukraine but what's the shop name?

>>24397567
Pulsar, it's somewhere in Kiev.

>>24397567
I think the video has been manipulated, and they don't actually sell fluffy-hair Eternity Larva fumos. Very sad.
