i would like to buy a nendoroid miku, but i can't find anywhere ...

I don't even like Miku and I'm gonna grab it. This thing is wonderful.

Also, picture related is my first fig. Yes, it was worth it.

You'll feel a lot better about yourself when you buy it. Many people are put off by spending so much on a figure but honestly it's the same shit as buying expensive lladro statues; they're their for just decoration and your own personal enjoyment.

My first figure was this one right here.

Do you live in Europe?

Their shipping charges can be a little expensive though.

>>4164150
This is what my stuff looks like now-ish. Probably missing some stuff but I'm not gonna bother checking.

>>4164156
yes i live in europe
thank you very much for the link!

>>4164150
>You'll feel a lot better about yourself when you buy it.
True. My first figs were "OH GOD OH GOD It's finally here, oh god, it's awesome, FUCK YEAR"
Now it's kinda closer to routine, but I still enjoy having them.

What Kos-mos is this?

>>4164156
Come to think of it, are there any other decent European sites?
Still rather reluctant towards buying a figure, but cutting down shipping cost wouldn't be bad.

Then again, dollars are so worthless that it is probably cheaper to order from the US.

>>4164127
i don't collect figures but i was gonna buy that miku figure too it's awesome

I haven't found one I want yet.

>>4164226
I don't know of anything else, sorry. Buying from the US will probably be cheaper if the shipping is really cheap and they'll pay the import fees for you (assuming they apply), but you also have to consider that there may not any in stock and it'll take longer.

While Archonia's shipping is steep, it's well packaged and quick.

>>4164127
Yuki Nendoroid, didn't regret it then, don't regret it now.

The way I see it is, I don't really buy anything else with the money I have. And for obsessive fags like me, it's enjoyable. The hunt is the best part, sifting through the various figurine sites, ebay, etc., to find the cheapest price, there's a sense of accomplishment attached to it then.

mikuru maid 1/6 was my first unfortunately couldnt find the pink ver :(

for eu sites try stuff like kamikaz.co.uk and tokyotoys they may have it im not sure tho

Seeing as how this is a fig thread, does anyone know where one could buy this?

>>4164174
If it's not too much trouble could you take a close up of that Noriko? I've never seen any Gunbuster figs.

My first was Ohno by Yamato for like $10. I ended up selling to make room in my collection for newer figures though.

Also, I don't like the face on that Miku. But I'll probably end up getting her anyways.

>>4164382
It's the Monsieur Bome figure.

>>4164396
Very cool. Shame she isn't doing the cross armed pose though.

My first was Kotobukiya's Sakura.
Once you buy one, odds are you will continue buying more.
when I bought it I never expected having so many just a year or so later

>>4164290
>>While Archonia's shipping is steep, it's well packaged and quick.
depends. it took almost 3 weeks for this to arrive for some reason, while usually it's around 1 week.

>>4164410
Well, you've got Nono for that.

>>4164174

That Black Rock Shooter fig looks fucking epic. I prefer it to the blade version.

You guys wasting your money for SHIT.

>>4164470
everyone wastes money for shit.

smokers waste it on cigs which are even more useless for example, since you can't just put them on a shelf and stare at their boobs.

>>4164470
it may seem like a waste to you, however if we did know you we could probably point out your money wasting habits.
Everyone has the right to spend their money how they see fit.

>>4164470
And you're wasting your TIME posting an image of CHEN on /jp/ along with a SHIT reply.

Figures are great if you're into them, you might get odd eyes from your friends and neighbors (provided that they're out of the loop)

This is the best BRS IMO.

>>4164532
>CHEN

PROBLEMS?

>>4164552

>>4164578

>>4164549

sauce.

Found it in a local anime store. The box was all dusty so I guess it was sitting on that top shelf for quite a while. I had to ask the girl working there to clean it for me.

>>4164127
Keep in mind that you're opening up a whole new can of worms; it's hard to stop once you buy your first figure (as long as you have the spending money of course). The appeal of them is one of those things you never understand until you get your first figure.

>>4164590
>I had to ask the girl working there to clean it for me.

You fat lazy bastard can't do it yourself?

>>4164376
Anyone know?

>>4164612
Probably just being a dick as compensation.

>>4164612
That kind of laziness is actually a turn-on for most women.

>>4164631
No wonder you'll never get laid, Anonymous-kun.

OP how the fuck did you find this? Its a comiket exclusive.

Yeah, I got the World is Mine figure recently and while it's not a standard figure I really enjoy it. Seeing it every time I enter my room is a treat.

>>4164590
lucky bastard

>>4164649
What? No. Pre-orders are easily available already.

>>4164678

>>4164661
I heard a lot of them have quality control issues like kimono version of Shiki. Was your alright?

My first. I'd say she was worth it. Removable skirt too.

>>4164704
I have not throughly inspected it but on the initial glances I did not notice anything.
Is there something I should be looking for?

>>4164752
All kinds of defects. Tighthighs aren't glossy, fucked up hair, no "World is Mine" words. That's just the things I heard here.

>>4164768
After looking at it closer I can see that the hair ends need more paint. You can only see it at an angle and up close.
Mine is on a high shelf so there is no way you can notice these things from just looking at it.

Besides that everything else is fine.

>>4164794
Well, congratulations, I suppose.
I'm going to get one myself in the next month and hearing all that stuff was kinda unnerving.. I just hope the brown framed won't be sold out everywhere. hlj has already run out of them.

Might be able to save some money at Amiami.

>>4164827
same as previous post,
amiami is the less expensive place i've seen selling figures, worth the shipping difference going to the other end of the globe.

ault/product/e_display.html

Not sure if it just mine, but her stockings are a really washed out shade of black, almost grey. Its a bit hard to compare to enhanced photos

My first figure was Revoltech Yotsuba - basically a requirement if you're a toy collector and also lurk 4chan. I was kind of late to the statue scene. My first was either Range Murata's UJ-14 or Max Factory's Haruhi.

My personal grails are GSC's Kino and the second Strike Witches gashapon set.

>>4164827
And mine was from AmiAmi

Max Factory 1/8 scale Asahina Mikuru.

I had many small non-scale figurines before her, but I don't consider them to be 'real' figurines. After Mikuru-chan I bought GSC 1/8 Miku and Rin, Alter 1/8 Haruhi, and Kotobukiya 1/7 Nono.

Preordered that VN02 mix Miku, along with 1/7 Watarase Jun.

Definitely getting the GSC anime version of BRS once her preorder opens.

>>4164794
What? The ends of her hair is supposed to be see-through. It's not lacking paint.

>>4165252
Really? If that's true then I guess I'm in the clear.

I saw that one a few days ago as well and felt the urge to get it.

>>4164150
What would you do if the sword breaks? ;_;

>>4164127
tempting.

I'm blowing all my money on VNs and manga now, so I'm not sure if I'll have enough left though

>>4164584
No sauce yet... hasn't been officially announced. Can see more here: http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/25369/BRS+Anime+Version+Figure.html (Yeah, yeah, Danny Choo sucks).

>>4164549
By the way, what site is this image from?

>>4164150
one of the worst leaners

>>4166415
i feel ya, mine is supported by a thread to prevent leanage

oh look another copy cat image dumper out to trash /jp/.

Dump fag if anyone gave a shit they could easily outpost you image dumping script. But you are a moron so that never crossed your mind.

I just wish spambro would come to /a/ and spam the shit out of KS threads.

Keep up the good work Spambro.

Well, at least I have confirmed my suspicions that the spams were done by someone from /a/.

>>4167169
He doesn't seem to understand text posters can beat him he can spam images all night an not derail a thread people actually wanted to post in.

>>4167172
Are you aware that at some point there was no /jp/, so, unless a person is very new, he is from /a/?

I'll help hijack.

>>4167212
Mod this shit UP!

So, I have $80 or so in my paypal and amiami open.
What do I buy?

I'm agonizing about the Flandere griffon fig. On the one hand I do love Flan. On the other hand I've heard griffon is shit.

figs are just to costly

AoRF is the faggot image bombing this thread with no real good reason for wasting 4chn resources.

I save money on my figures by painting them myself

I should really finish this one of these days

Bought an Aeris model, which I never finished putting together, sigh. Bought a Siren resin statue, which was so-so. Bought Yuna from X-2 and then Melissa Seraphy.

I'd like to consider myself going towards better models and caring less about what they are from.
