>>6418771
surely you jest

>>6418807

No.

And don't call me shirley.

I have the first Griffon Youmu, but I'll be damned if I'm not tempted by this one,
even though the face is still funny looking.

>>6418771

Don't think I've ever seen that Marisa before. Where did you get it?

It's time for some mother fucking tea.

>>6418898
ooh tea

>>6418839
I want this.

You can really see the sluttiness.

Where did I get it? We need to think before answering. That makes you think of a theory that when we have a situation like that we can assume it's just a matter of winning or losing a game, I can play well or not, that's why people get beaten and then beat said person afterwards.

>>6418832
She looks fucking amazing, I have it. I also have the remilia with Gungir, which everyone says she has a derp face. Let me tell you, she looks so fucking good IRL, the pictures don't come anywhere near it. She's actually grinning like a badass, but looks so good.

My most detailed Figurine would be my Clalaclan Phirias from shining winds, in the paladinish armor. Fuck she's awesome.

>>6419010
look at that slut

Voted for momoko and that slut saten.

Got this today.

>>6419135
do her wings glow green by any chance?

>>6419135

Dem legs! nice fig.

this has to be one of my favorites.

>>6419201
That's this exact one I was talking about. She's pretty fucking cash.

>>6419227
this cracks me up every time

and then i get sad...

>>6419227
Wait, is that fig for fucking real? Where can I get one for the laughs?

Not quite a statue but this will certainly be my most detailed when it arrives.

>>6419268
Good fucking luck.

>>6419293
damn, now i have to go watch that AYANAMI WO KAESE scene again

WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO RIN?!

>>6419489
You mean why would they fix her face?

>>6419499

dat hand

>>6419506
Haha oh shit she's got 2 left hands

I can not do that. The most detailed one has not yet arrived. but it better be here soon! I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO VERY LONG!

>>6419589
What is it?

>>6419489
>>6419506
>>6419564
No she doesn't. Whoever put her together for that event is just retarded.

>>6419612

How do you make it to such an event, become trusted enough to actually SET UP the figure displays, get handed this truly exquisite kit, and put the shit together wrong. THIS IS FUCKED UP THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN THE WORLD.

>>6419612
>>6419564
>>6419489
Oh wow, whoever put that up is pants on head retarded. The real figurine looks fucking nice, to my dismay.(English is not my native language, is that word even possible in such a way?)

>>6419653
Yeah, but "much to my dismay" is more commonly used...

>>6419668
Noted, thanks.

>>6419612
her face looks kinda derp there

>>6420942
It does. For me, there's nothing that turns me off a figure more than a facial overhaul for the worse upon release.

>>6418751
I'm surprised no one have posted pictures of that figure taken from below yet. I'd have thought serveral /jp/ers have purchased it.

>>6420951

I have Momohime, but haven't taken her out of the box, and probably won't do so until my showcases are assembled as my current cabinet is full. I also don't buy figures for the OMG PANTIES MUST WANK SAAAARUHGH factor, I buy them for character attachment and craftsmanship.

>>6420951
Plain white panties.

>>6420951
Momohime is pure, get out.

I have the Kotobukiya Nanjou Ran which is pretty detailed

camera ain't working so I'll post this instead

>>6420975
One of the few Koto figures I like.

Like I was saying, IRL she looks stunning. Fuck the police, fuck the haters, I am glad I bought her. Love me some remi.

>>6420997
I can't wait until a good figure of remi/fran comes out.

>>6421010
Well, this one is good. Don't ship with faggots, some of the griffon figurines are good. I want a good flandre and a good nitori. Also, I fucking want the Patchouli that got released that she's sitting on books(not by griffon) she looks awesome, can't find her ANYWHERE ;_;

>>6421042
I'm not. I don't like her face or that big red staff.
I saw the patchy you're talking about with the reisen and the other one.. I think cirno. At a hobby shop 2 nights ago. I was going to buy them, but my pack was already full.

>>6421054
Sincerely, fuck you ;_;. I've been looking all the websites for the Patchouli, she's out of stock even on god damn toylet.

Also, what is there to hate about Gungnir? What I like the most about figurines are their pose and like I said I really love her face. Everyone's taste is different. How was the Patchouli when you saw it?

>>6418751
who is this character, what is she from?

>>6421071
I saw this one
http://myfigurecollection.net/figure/10877_patchouli_knowledge

and this one

http://myfigurecollection.net/figure/24270_patchouli_knowledge

Both were relatively cheap and NIB... Cheap considering no shipping costs. They're probably both still there.

Fly over here and buy them.

>>6421092
Where is ''over here'' heh. Also, I am talking about the second one.

>>6421091
Momohime from a wii game.

>>6421099
Tokyo.

>>6421100
dam was hoping it was an anime, Would watch the fuck out of it.

NSFW

>>6421101
Oh... I see... I might go to japan if I get enough money, which is unlikely. I rather go to mexico with my friends, cost only 1k and I get awesome hotel for 1 week, awesome food and alcohol free for 1 week.

>>6421091
>>6421103
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Just try it out, it's like Odin Sphere.
No need to worry about bad dubbing. It's subtitled.

>>6421111
I didn't even plan on going. I got sent here for a job. I'm mainly sitting in my room. I couldn't believe the shit I saw in Akihabara. If only I had a bottomless bag.

>>6421125
STOP, IT HURTS. Is there a lot of Touhou related stuff? I have absolutely no clue, as I never looked into it. The only ''Otaku related'' thing I looked up in Japan is the Comiket.

>>6420975
Nice, but I think my Alter Senhime beats her in the detail department.

Still, the best looking Senhiime fig I've seen so far.

>>6421137
When I was in Akihabara I saw tons of touhou related goods. Walls and walls of touhou music albums, doujin, art books, figures and plushies I've never even seen. Speaking of which I bought these. Couldn't resist.

>>6421137
there isn't that much Touhou related stuff in Akihabara. There is White Canvas which only sells Touhou merch but the majority of the stuff is cheap nasty crap, they don't even stock many of the games. They do however have an impressive selection of doujinshi, music and games on the second floor.
Go to Mandrake in Nakano for some better Touhou merchandise.

>>6421158
wow, sorry about the picture size.

Not quite a statue though.
But this is my latest work,
meanwhile my current project got stuck because running out the spray can and the store need a month for restock.

>>6421158
They're pretty nice.

Just restocked on selveras, and I bought a ps3 for this game, and it's my favorite game. Should I?

>>6421172
I'd say yes
(but I have a massive boner for Koto figs so you might wanna take that with a pinch of salt)

>>6421172
If you want to buy them, do it. You only live once. Why not spend your life with the things you enjoy? I think they both look pretty nice personally.

the alter sel is very nice also

so what do you do on this ??

>>6421181
>>6421183
I think I'll buy the selveras. Also, I wonder it's how much for one fig with SAL shipping. I took EMS last time for my Remilia/Youmu/Clalaclan, it fucking cost me 8200yen shipping AND it got inspected at the fucking customs, costing me a fucking 45$ taxes AND 25$ custom fees. 3 fig basically cost me 450$, it was fucking terrible.

>>6421195
Probably 1000-1500円, maybe a bit more if you get insured SAL.

>>6421195
SAL is quite a bit cheaper. I've always had so-so experiences using SAL. My boxes often have puncture marks in them, or are crushes on a side or two... Nothing major yet. It has taken anywhere from 2 weeks to 1 month+, and honestly I'd not use this shipping method for anything I care dearly for and want the outer box to remain intact. It's a gamble, but the price difference may be worth it.

>>6421195
8200 shipping what?
did you not combine orders or are they some ridiculous scale?

>>6421229
They were http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=FIG-MOE-1959&template=defa

So it was pretty heavy, the box coming here was god damn huge. Also...
http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=FIG-MOE-2277&template=defa
ult/product/e_display.html
Oh damn, I'm happy I got the original color one, this one looks stupid as hell.

>>6421244
that's still a lot more than I'd imagine shipping for those would come to

unless you live in antarctica or something

>>6421262
Canada.

>>6421263
Motherfucker, it was unexpected, and I came.

>>6421264
going by amiami's rates did it really weigh between 4 and 5kg?

also
>>6421263
I see your delicious etna ass and raise you this
(which I would buy if I could bring myself to buy a figure solely for its derriere)

>>6421279
Well with the boxes think they were all around 1.5kg. Well, what's done is done. Also, holy shit dat ass. But the thing is, I will always prefer Etna, because she has one of the hottest and best character design I've seen, alongside with her awesome personality.

>>6421296
fair enough
as a european I was just surprised to see someone getting a rougher deal on shipping that myself

>>6421301
Hey, at least we're not in Africa.

>>6421217
>It has taken anywhere from 2 weeks to 1 month+
Oh, so it isn't odd for SAL to take a while?
I picked it because it was cheaper, but 3 weeks (3 weeks today in fact) seems too long...

Is it me or is amiami's site somewhat slow?

>>6421355
I was wondering too heh. Yes, I guess it is fucking slow. Also, why is that Amiami always have the best god damn prices? They are ridiculous compared to other websites.

>>6421335
I've only used sal twice (both for magazines) but both times it took over a month. SAL is super slow and uninsured, i don't know why anyone would take it for semi expensive stuff.

>>6421335
First time I used SAL was for my last packet. I always used EMS. Somehow it got here faster than all my EMS packages. Total days in shipping: 5 days. WAT

But yeah, it will probably be a lot slower. I'm sending mine via SAL now due to being able to afford more figures that way. Let us see how long my current order is going to take.

>>6421367
5 days for sale, you are now confirmed as wizard.

>>6421371
SAL*

>>6421371
Goddamn ridiculous. And this was including passing through customs. Fastest I've seen my EMS packets arrive was 8 days. Usually those fuckers at customs keep it for couple of days. Of course on Thursday so it'll get released by Tuesday or so. Thanks for wasting a fucking week. And then they charge me 70 euro customs over a 180 euro packet.

They didn't even charge me for the SAL packet and I'm hoping it stays that way for my current SAL packet. Payed for the 7th, already left outward exchange office, which from earlier experiences means it's going to arrive in my countries inward office soon. Which is fucking fast again. If this is arriving within two weeks again I'll be fucking amazed. I hear nothing but 3-6 weeks from people about SAL.

>>6421390
Dear god. I got only 25$ custom over a 250$ package, I guess I should consider myself lucky heh. Where do you live?

>>6421390
SAL is all about luck. They don't ship the crates over until they fill up. It depends how long it takes the crates to fill. If your box is the last item to fill the crate you are lucky.

>>6421390
EMS comes to me incredibly fast, like 3 days. Faster than domestic packages. No customs bullshit encountered yet, knock on wood.

>>6421301
There was this REALLY awesome Fate Testarossa (youth) figure that someone posted on /a/ a while back. They PAINTED the underfold of her ass cheek. The bodysuit she wore had a flat finish and was skintight enough that you could see her ribs and abs...

GODDAMN, it's so good...

>>6421444
Same for me. Only time it didn't arrive in 3 days is when the 3rd day was a Sunday.

just arrived
i only started collecting them a few months ago so i only have 2 so far

i used SAL so far but it cost me 1800 JPY from Japan to Germany
how much would EMS be?
i used SAL 2 times and the first time the package arrived in 1 week and the 2nd time in 2 1/2 weeks.

>>6421669
depends entirely on the weight
http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgform=SimpleForm&template=e_faq.html#Rates

and you can ask them for a quote on shipping beforehand

Pic related.

Can't wait for Dead Master to arrive. Don't tell me it's been delayed.

>>6421684
4600 JPY would it be for me
nope i rather use SAL

>>6421695
that reminds me, I ordered the BRS nendoroid for 1100 JPY (less than €10)

prob still in stock too

Upcoming Griffon line?

If icon is doing Suwako-sama then I'm sold.

>>6421731
I've been wanting a decent Kanako figure for 3 years now, so I'll be extremely asspained if Griffon screws it up.

Then again it's Griffon.

>>6421695
Not yet, but I'd be very, very surprised if she was not delayed at least one month.

>>6421716
1100 JPY BRS nendo where? if you mean the one from amiami then they have upgraded it to Japan onry.

>>6422176
yeah

Oh COME ON.

i've been looking for a loligoth type statue with an elaborate dress

can anyone think of any?

Not about figures but has anyone ordered calenders form amiami? what the shipping like for ems? I'm not really sure what shipping option to go with for it.

>>6422355
Like this?

bump

>>6422631
yes, that's a good example
what's it from? are there more?

>>6422631
that's a little on the monochrome side
anyone know anything with a bit more contrast?
(say like suigintou's black and white)

>>6424331
Why not just get a Suigintou then?

>>6424640
because her dress design is actually pretty simple

>>6423822
Its an original figure from amiami. this is another version of her.

>>6424824
oh wow

I am still impressed by Lineage II Elf.

(This is her with the clothing removed and no weapons).

>>6424846
looked it up
that has a lot of fine details as well

>>6424894

Yes, it is ... here a fully clothed picture with the staff, there is also a sword as a option.

There is a 2nd run planned that have different weapons but so far no info when its coming out, Orchid Seed also have planned a Dark Elf but no pictures of the model exist of yet.

Forgot the picture ...

>>6425106
Her hips are HUGE.

>>6422631
This one is great but damn it comes out way too late for me.

>>6425149
It looks like one of her thighs is bigger than the other in the previous pic or something. I'd still hotglue it though.

>>6425165
>hotglue

>>6425197
now now, lineage elf statues were made for hotgluing

>>6425340
Sorry, it just fucking disgusts me how someone can do that to their figurine.

>>6425345
I make it a habit to hotglue my nekoarc every morning
no, not really

>>6425430
i'm sure somewhere in japan

http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=CGD2-00431&template=defaul
t/product/e_display.html

I just ordered this. It ain't figure related but I'm sure you can appreciate this. Oh god this is the most embarrassing thing I've ordered so far.

>>6426081
A 4400 yen school swimsuit and postcard set. Why in the fuck?

>>6426125
Oh yeah, and I get postcards. So yeah, why not?

>>6426129
Because it is a school swimsuit and postcards

You're more or less paying just for the postcards because the school swimsuit isn't exactly exclusive or anything

>>6426132
I've been searching for one before, just casually. And I wasn't really able to find any except for some on j-list. Which aren't the type I wanted, and aren't a lot cheaper either. I don't care.

>>6426081
i don't understand the appeal or context

>sal
>ems

What about fedex and ups?

>>6426293
Her tits are gigantic.

Then again it is a 1/72 scale figure.

>>6427385
There is no such thing as a company called SAL or EMS. They're just ways of Japan Mail to send shit. For me I receive it at home from my country's mail and parcel deliverer.

>>6427483

Actually ..
http://www.ems.coop/

SAL stands for Surface Air Lifted, its a type mail service (EMS is too but organized differently).

>>6427385

HLJ is the only that I know uses a private mail service, FedEx.

Of course why would you want that? Costs are high unless you are a merchant and are buying in bulk.

what's the shipping fee on Amiami ? their stuff are pretty cheap but i'm scared about the ship

>>6427686
see
>>6421684

>>6427686
same as all the others

The hair and the dress are very detailed. The panties and ass are also very well detailed.

>>6427748
I would add some detail to the interior of Nanoha's sexual organs if you know what I mean.

Why EMS is so expensive? Typical situation: at first I was like "wow, pretty nice price, gonna buy this", but then "holy shieeeeeeeeeeet +40 euro for EMS". It's not like shipping costs as half of a figure or anything...

>>6428677
i usually don't buy something in that case unless i want it so much i just don't fucking care anything

>>6428677
Never really bothered me.

>>6428677

Because its being priority shipped FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE!

>>6428677
If you cant afford them then use SAL like the rest of the poorfags or dont buy at all.

>>6428850
>If you cant afford them then use SAL like the rest of the poorfags or dont buy at all.

Oh wow, you're sooo rich and cool guy. Mommy gives you some money for school breakfasts?

>>6428866
nah, I'm also a poorfag who uses SAL for years and dont understand why some idiot refuses to use them even when they are poor.

>>6428677
Because you're buying things that come in large boxes, I guess. When I order doujinshi it never costs that much.

Also I would never ship this expensive shit by SAL, but that's just me. Why spend tons of cash on these jewels just to entrust it to some crappy budget courier?

if i can't comfortably afford a luxury item, i just don't buy it
i don't get what is so fucking hard about that

If you can't afford the shipping you can't afford the figure.

Of course; anon The reason is, I am buying things that come in large boxes, you guess; how logical. When you order doujinshi it never costs that much? I recognize that this is already solved by somebody. Wealth and fame come with maintenance costs.

I haven't had a bashed up box from either EMS or SAL. One just gets here faster than the other as far as I'm concerned. It goes onto a plane in Japan, flies over to San Francisco, offloads, and then onto the USPS truck and to my house.

Seriously, I get camera lenses sent by $10 UPS Ground and those cost a shitton compared to figures in a much smaller box size. They probably experience a lot more bouncing around in the back of a UPS truck across the entire country (as it seems half the large camera sites are in New York) for a week than my figures do on their way to me.

>>6429186
In my experience the books weigh more on a inch by inch basis but that's because you can cram a whole shitton of books into a box and it weighs a ton afterwards. Half the box for a figure is air and the bubble plastic that surrounds the figure. Lot of empty room.

That was uncalled for. I am not a piece of shit, please don't insult me. The box would probably be dirty though and not very shiny.

>>6429186
You sound perturbed. Why don't you go collect some aluminum cans to recycle so you can scrape together the money to afford your shipping?

>>6429200
>>6429193
/jp/ you've stopped making sense

>>6429423
I started feeling bad and rereading my posts because I thought I had called some object shit and now it was talking to me.

>>6429433
you better be high
