>>9835186
did they announce a figma yet?

what is the best ecchi-figurine? And is there a way to search for ecchi figurines? I want one for reasons.

>>9835351
I like this one.

Lewd figs are sick you perverts!

>>9835177
I love Prisma Illya. It's a shame that her eyes look too far apart in this figurine otherwise I'd probably buy it.

>>9835351
are queen's blade figures good? there's a bunch of lewd ikkitousen figures too but a lot of them are griffon and /jp/ says those are shit. what happened to that plastic butt appreciator tripfag?

oh wait I forgot about this one. definitely the lewdest figure I've seen.

>>9837626
This one's been on my watch list for a while along with pic related. I would love to get them along with the maid version but I just bought a rather expensive fig.

>>9837846

What's the matter, Tier? Slow traffic?

>>9835351
Buy crappy price figure. Make improvements.

>>9838007
>Kuroneko
Wow, I wonder how many people have cummed on this fig over the year.

>>9845016
I hope not too many. My waifus are meant to be pure.

>>9835177
My figs are so weak.....
I will buy a really nice one and post it when I get the money....

>>9846067
You call that shit figs?

Why do you guys waste your autismbux on this cheap plastic?

>>9846067
btw I'm a grill

>>9846096
>>9846120
Yeah They are pathetic

>>9846114
Because they make me happy.

What do you waste your autism bux on?

>>9846114
what is the point of autismbucks if not to waste on autism art?

>>9846152
You need more cute girls.

>>9846016
>waifus
>plural

What?

>>9846114
Hey guys, some guy linked this thread over here on /a/. I'm interested in this "autismbux". How do I attain it so I can use this money to buy more figures? Anyone got a guide in your archives or a keyword(s) I can use to search for it?

do your parents ever give you shit for spending their money to buy plastic little girls

>>9846329
Try searching for "uncle remus".

>>9846347
Thanks! Found it in no time!

>>9835255

Yes, they actually did. Godoka's the current figurine flavor of the month.

>>9846067

That tiny Hidolfr is pretty adorable.

>>9846200
I would love to see some recommendations.

My general interests are in warrior culture (Samurai), Japanese movies/movies, Puppets, Manga, Kendo, Acting, Drawing, Painting, and ancient mysteries/monuments.....

If anything than the Figs I will be buying are kind of tough, like the Kamen RIder S.I.C. Ultimate Soul Horse Orphnoch Kamen Rider 555 [JAPAN]

>>9846449
get out of /jp/ disability-san

>>9846067
People actually like Inuyasha?

So I put all my figures in their original boxes because I am moving across states and the stack is taller than me. I'm 5'2 (I'm a grail). It's also a hell of a lot wider than me. It's cressay.

Knock yourself out

finished the face, just need to add a flat coat and I can glue her together.

>all these times when I am holding my breath as I take the masking tape off hoping its not fucked

test

Captchas are too hard

>>9846942
Her face looks like a pancake. I can't really judge from that expression whether she's truly happy or it's just a side-effect of mental retardation.

>>9846942
Not your paint job but the figure itself is terrible.

>>9846379
Thanks.
>>9846456
I liked the look of the figs, so I just went for it.
I liked it when I was 14......so...a long time ago

Griffons on a roll

>>9846640
Thanks.

>>9849569
How long does it take for even an unpainted model of this be done? As long as the face even looks remotely good on this I'll probably buy it.

>>9849582
>face
>good
>Griffon

>>9849605
Was this post really necessary, thats why I said if its even remotely good, as in if its at least bearable.

Surely Griffon's next figure will be Yuugi, right?
I can feel it in my bones ;_;

>>9849608
I would laugh too if someone is expecting something from griffon to be good. It is not all bad though, I think the rerelease Raymoo is pretty good. Probably their only good release.

>>9849614
Don't worry, My dad works at Griffon, he said Yuugi will be the next announcement.

（´・ω・）

>>9849572
Although I know what to expect (nothing), especially seeing as Futo's face and her peculiar expressions is one of her biggest charms, I can't help but be at least a little excited.

>>9849582
>How long does it take for even an unpainted model of this be done?
Impossible to say. Griffon released Mystia and Murasa silhouettes over half a year ago.

>>9849614
If so than I am buying one.....some say she wont get one though....

>>9849725
And some say that Mima won't be in the next game.
But I can feel it in my bones, man! When have my bones ever lied to me?

>>9849802
>But I can feel it in my bones, man! When have my bones ever lied to me?
about that....

>>9849815
Fool!
With each passing game, the feeling only increases!
My bones just started feeling it too early, they were just too excited and predicted the game way to early.
But this next one.... this one feels oh so strong.
I can feel it.....

Okay, so now that Futo is announced and Miko released, it's not too far fetched that Griffon will make a Tojiko, who happens to be one of my favorite Touhous.

However seeing how her design is so simple, a fig of her would be 95% pose, and thus I see a 95% chance Griffon will mess her up.

>>9849852
Griffon messes up everything 100%.

Why the hell must I pay 23% VAT on figures like they were some everyday goods? They're art, I should only have to pay 9%.

>>9850132
It's 19 and 7 here. In what kind of capitalist shithole do you live?

Living in America sure is nice. No taxes or customs to pay on items from foreign countries.

>>9851281
Some countries require the paypal recipe, not the shops'.

>>9850132
Because you shop at places that dont mark down the value on the box?

>>9850173
Too bad about the exchange rate.

>>9851284
Anything below 23€ is tax free. Only if your package gets randomly inspected and there is no receipt inside and they suspect its not a gift they may ask you for a receipt.

This happens more often with EMS than with SAL since its a separate distribution channel from the regular slow packages.

>>9849614
I read that as, "feel it in my boobs".

Should I buy a Homu or a Mumi nendo?

>>9851753

Miko arrived today, and she looks great. Looks like the notorious Griffon CQ came through for me.

>>9851753
Go with the Mami

I'm not even gonna front. I filled the cup when I saw this figure. Does anyone know if it's going to be an exclusive or will plebs like myself be able to preorder it from the online vendors of our choice?

>>9851823

>>9851850
already out?

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIG-MOE-5794

>>9851884
Your point is well taken although I doubt she can handle as much alcohol as stoic Homu. Still, at least she seems like she'd be a happy, classy drunk. Homu has drunken grimdark riot written all over her.

>>9851921
>already out?

Ha, yeah, man. I was referring to the Ilya fig in OP's post. The Kyouko figure has already been acquired.

... well... i bought my first statues. i usually buy articulated figs- but these were so cheap and i love hisui's look.

>>9852947
Excellent choice. Their indeed pretty good for price figs.

If you really like the twins you can also try to track down the megahouse ones.

I got her recently. http://myfigurecollection.net/item/76

Anyone know to remove her head?

I haven't even played the dang game yet, but I found a place that has this one for around half the original retail price, and it's awfully tempting. I love her facial expression, and the pose is a pretty perfect reproduction of the illustration it's based on.

>>9846067
I envy you for the Van and Hitomi ones, though.

>>9854491
I hate puzzle games, but that figure is amazing.

>>9849852
I would love a Tojiko but Griffon's ghosty bits always look so ugly to me.

>>9854496
I'll be ordering the Out Law Star set with the android girl and main character soon too...Then the Tenchi Muyo set with Ryoko, Tenchi, and Ry-oh-ki (Ship Form). All the sets were released when I was in second grade so like 12 years ago I think....maybe.
I should have known to keep the Van and Hitomi in the box back then, but I was pretty determined to play with them...

Here you can buy the only ones left on the net it seems like

I see you

I got a box full of figma Marisa if someone missed out on orders
why did I even buy them I don't really like Marisa
I'd rather have a rerelease of the Aya figma

>>9856647
What does this mean?

>>9856506
True, but at least making a good-looking ghost in plastic would be hard for pretty much any manufacturer, so even if they mess that up I can understand why. In that case the rest of the fig would be less forgiving, if it looks bad.

>>9856629
I might consider selling it if you're that interested!

>>9856665
Sell them. Touhou figma fetch pretty nice prices since they are somewhat limited in release compared to other figma, and Touhou is always high demand.

>>9856675
Actually I lied. I will not sell it.

These look.... Interesting.

How much does the average fig cost? I usually buy minis and they cost at least $35-$50 for one or five.

That of course doesn't include the $50 shipping.

> Pic related, the base cost for this one is around $50 not including another $50 for shipping.

>>9856695
It's OK, I don't have any money anyway.

>>9856707
Completely depends. Different sizes brands characters availability determine different prices.

>>9856758

Any sites that I could look through that's trust worthy?

> This is one around $500 for the torso/head, and an extra $250 per limb

Started packing my figs for my move. Stack is this big and I still gotta pack 18 more

>>9856788

>>9856786
Don't buy anything on eBay unless its being shipped from Japan.

Best sites are
Amiami.com
Hlj.com

These two will have the best prices.
But there's also
Otacute.com
And the infamous jlist.com. Jlist will be ridiculously expensive but they might have an item in stock that others don't.

>>9856680
yeah, I probably will

>>9856794
Hey, I sometimes sell my figures on eBay and I can assure you they're not bootlegs.

>>9856788
>>9856789
Moving? Where, like describe it. Is it nice? I think you need to invest in a new Camera anon. A lot of us collect cameras and special lenses.
I like your figs a lot too.

>>9856806
Links please.........You don't put your semen on them ever do you?
I don't think I can buy from you if you have came on them, like others have....

No way I hate taking pictures. I just use my iphone 4s. And I'm moving to Northern California. About two hours from San Francisco.

>>9856830
That's okay then aha. Do you have a shake in your hands? I think the iphone 4 has pretty good picture quality, but your picture was just a little blurry. I have a shake in my hands, though no one would notice it in person, so I am not all that good when it comes to taking pictures nor slowly taking a spoon to my mouth.
You live by Milk....or at least same state.....
>>9856794
Enjoy that radiation. Nom nom nom
No no just joking (Kind of)
But I find it so tedious when ordering from Japan. I always have to end up using ebay when buying from Japan and even then I cannot find most of the things I 'need'. I want to use ebay-Japan, but I can only speak a some Japanese (from watching all their subbed marital) and cannot read Kanji......
Even then I would have to convert all my money into Yen some how........then everything in Japan is so expensive

Oh Special Edition DVD Be-Bop High School 1985, you elude me everyday of my life.......

Then I need a Japanese DVD/Blu-Ray player too!

>>9856670
Potato, in this case, refers to the shitty camera you used.

>>9856874
Yes I have a bad shake. Its a side effect of my medications. And also I have like no lighting in my room. I don't cosplay or like milk so I have no interest how close I live by her.

>>9856902
I don't like cosplay either.

>>9856881
Epic joke. You'd get 100 thumbs up on YouTube.

So happy Orchid Seed picked this up.

>>9856983
there was a byakuren one too right?

>>9856995

>>9856975
I thought it was a well-known term. I suppose it wasn't after all.

>>9856822
Blacklight. Get one. I have one just because I thought it was neat but it does indeed have other uses.

>>9857014
I will, but I didn't know if he did or didn't.....
I am interested in buying from him too though.

>>9857035
Just remember 2 assholes from /toy/ BST intentionally hotglued their shit right before sending them out. Best to get your used stuff from a respectable webstore which ideally has done its own checks and certified the item. No hotglued figs from Mandy so far.

>>9857051
hmph Yes you're right. Though I don't know of that many and I always worry their going to steal my information somehow. I only use gift cards for buying things, so that helps, but then I may run into the problem of the site being fraud.
I know Amazon has some pretty high standards for when they buy items off of sellers, so it would be safe to say that Amazon just might be a pretty good place to go for some of these things too.

I don't know all the details to amazon, but I think, not sure, that individuals can sell their too....
I like to buy things pre-cealed to begin with anyway. I usually will never buy something unwrapped or unsealed, unless it's a one of a kind or the last one remaining.

>>9856822
Sometimes I sell figures. I am female so I couldn't hot glue them even if I wanted.

I just have a mini rin Tohsaka nendoroid I wanna sale right now though.

>>9857085
Amazon has bootlegs. Be warned.

>>9849551

I like Cirno...

I like Advent Cirno...

I dont like this fig's face. it looks awkward.

>>9857093
Okay well thanks for the heads up.
I come here a lot and most recognize me by my posts, so just let me know if anything else comes up sometime.

>>9857104
Well are you looking for specific characters or characters from a specific series? I may have some other ones I'd sell.

>>9857093
>I am female
That's stating the obvious. We're all little girls here on /jp/!

>>9857098
Thanks. I will keep that in mind.
I mostly buy obscure figures, so they are rare to none that I find that aren't real.
>>9857120
Well Like I said I buy pretty obscure things, like Daimajin, Kamen Rider(Not really Obscure), Ultraman(Not Really Obscure), Sonny Chiba, Hiroyuki Sanada, Cromartie High School, Wolf Guy, and pretty much even more obscure ninja movie paraphernalia/related products.
But you never know, I just might pick something else out.

>>9857104
Why don't you put your trip back on?

>>9857173
This is why......
One guy said if I put it back on he would do something mean.

>>9857120
Me here.

I also have other jp related stuff I want to sell that aren't figures if people are interested. I have tsukihime and higurashi manga that's in Japanese not English. And for you hotgluers I have a waterproof shizuru bath poster from Rewrite. And also another waterproof poster of the little loli chick with red hair from Ro ku bu.

>>9857181
YO BROOOSKIIII. What are you doing here?! Sober even?! Let's go raid our rival alpha beta gamma phi epsilon house. Steal all their beer and fuck all their girls. YOLO Sean my man!

Cookie face is done, going to take "pro" photos tomorrow （´・ω・）

My Senhime arrived with September's order. She's absolutely flawless, completely beautiful.

>>9858163
Pretty, I like it.

Tao legs

Can't wait for this. Hotglue then assign a bunch of Homus to guard it.

Oh shit, it's on now.

Just got previewed on mikatan's blog, not entirely sure I like her eyes though.

Anyone else feel like building their own Yotsuba?

キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!!!

>>9838007
Doesn't it feel weird to have many of the same character? I mean, that way you can't really talk to just one of them.

>>9856788
I'm moving myself in another 6-10 months (depending on when I quit my shitbird job), and looking at this picture and being confronted with the agony I too will soon know was kinda chilling.

>>9854558
I know right.

There's another one being put out this month by Art Spirits, also based on an illustration I like, but... I dunno, I'm just not feeling it. Their Katherine-with-a-K figure looks nice though, happily.

>>9859090
Yukata is so gorgeous that I don't really care.

>>9859865
And I don't see anything bad about her eyes, either.

>>9859839
Good luck bro. Its a pain in the ass. And when I actually pack them they'll be in plastic storage boxes cause I'm too afraid the will get crushed in a cardboard box.

>>9859754
It's true but they're just so beautiful that I might be able to get over it.

at least you aren't moving out of country
i'm going to have to put them in one of those rent a storage places and hope they don't fuck up my payment processing. don't want my shit to show up on one of those storage auction shows.

>>9859754
As long as you like the character and the figs are well made I don't see the problem. I imagine coming home and asking "who homu here?" and my multiple Homus will all stop what they're doing, look at me, and point to themselves. That's right. You Homu here.

>>9854496
Do you want the same models?
I have link to the only one left on the web for sale.....

>>9858056
I can almost see a tear coming out of her eye.

>>9853766
>the megahouse ones

Those were made by Sol International.

Was that an offshoot of Megahouse?

So how is Griffon's quality control these days?

>>9859754
>>9862768
Exactly what I do everyday.

>>9863610
I want to hotglue your collection

>>9862768
Why would you buy multiple figures of Homu? Are you one of those filthy homusexuals? God hates you fags.

>>9859754
Talk to them? What are you, high?

>>9863626
No she doesn't. If anything God probably favours homusexuals who'll help watch over her beloved.

>>9863626
I would actually buy multiple homu if they made good figure of her.
The one by GSC and GIFT are both fucking atrocious. Figs company cannot turn ume wideface into 3D.

>>9864289
I actually really love the GSC one. GIFT is indeed atrocious, I agree.

>>9862780
Yes please!

Relatedly, I just became aware of the existence of this kit today. Too bad I've never made one in my life and would probably suck, because it's super cute and I love that CD cover image.

>>9836084
I want to see her for other angles.

>>9863649
You don't talk to your figures?

Then how do you keep your sanity?

>>9864579
Here you go my friend. Looks like this just came up yesterday. There are 4 now for sale, while the other set was bought. How lucky for you!

I've noticed that on some of the sites, the prices are in yen. I've used Google to convert the prices and noticed it's slightly cheaper then buying minis.

Is there any terms I should know about before buying?

> This one is the Tau Manta. 25 pounds, 2 feet long and around 4 feet wide, it costs around $1750. All for a toy ship.

>>9865317
That's interesting and somewhat shocking. No need to greentext it, though.

>>9865317
That's just because Forgeworld specializes in overpriced stuff for an already overpriced game that takes advantage of neckbeards that want to play space men.

>>9865364

True. Real neckbeards scratchbuild their stuff. Like me. I scratch built some Warhound Titan and Necron Pylons. Gave them to my friends and guess how they repay me? By breaking them and asking for new ones.

>>9865224
Wow, great news. Thanks a lot for the heads up.

>>9863584
I hear its still bad. But that looks great from griffon! I guess touhous are mainly there worst ones.

>>9865444
You're welcome.

>>9865416
Please refrain from talking about Warhammer in a fucking fig thread, bros.

You don't see us on /tg/ discussing onaholes.

Thanks.

>>9868321
She's so flat and lifeless. Why is everything so matte?

2

>>9868407
Well when I sculpted it 2 years ago I was going for a SD slash nendoroid look but I look back at it know and yeah it is pretty lifeless. But it was my second ever figure I sculpted so it is not like I can get it right the first time. But this one I have the mold for so might as well make more and maybe sell a few.

some detail, I had a friend make me custom decals that are awesome, expect when you just notice you fucked it up ><

my set up, it is pretty bad. Need new background paper.

>>9868464
you're fig looks like shit d00d.

>>9868470
take it easy d00d

I think it's cute in its own way.

Does it wobble because of the tumor?

>>9868498
Yeah it's pretty cute and he made it himself to top. I'd buy one. These guys are just being super picky.

>>9868498
It is a issue, but when I glued it with epoxy glue it is fine, it also has brass bars that hold it up ( pretty standard for resin kits). I have a idea that if I cast the back hair piece hollow then might be better not sure.
>>9868504
thank you bro, I don't expect that many people here to like it, PVCs are made by people that have been doing that for a living for years, I am just starting out. But this is pretty much the only place on 4chan I could post it.

>>9868531
I look at things like that as an artist and appreciator rather than as a consumer or jew so I love things like that. I would love to make figs but I need to practice some more. I've made many things out of clay over the years so I have some experience sculpting.

Anyone else preorder?

>>9868545
on top of that if you are going to recast it you have to then think about the parts as they are being filled with resin. So like cutting up the legs so they cast fine etc.
I still need to do a lot more practice to get something that would be a Wonderfest and likes

>>9868564
Can you do stuff that's like normal scale? Or is that too hardcore? I must know.

>>9868606
not sure I am working on and off on one that is normal scale. which would be my first normal scale figure.
I think it might be harder since you have to add more detail and stuff but not too bad.

>>9868547

HOLY SHIT

>>9868547
Meh...

>>9868547
I didn't due to funds but she is really awesome. They nailed the Vanillaware surrealistic proportions. Great looking figure. Very stylized.

In other news, you're getting closer, Griffonshit. Not bad.

>>9864648
Is it crazy that my Rin Tohsaka figma keeps on telling me to man the fuck up and lift more? I should ease off the meds. At least I actually am working out more and eating better though.

>>9869491
What type of medication is causing you hear your figures talk? Wouldn't that be more likely the result of a lack of medication.

Almost a week now since the last SAL update （︶︿︶）

>>9870306
Let me correct that.

>>9870309
Just Zoloft right now. Although I suspect my insomnia (had it before taking meds) also has something to do with this. Will be meeting the doc about this. But since she isn't telling me to burn down my apartment or jump out of it I don't really mind. Makes me feel less ronery having someone who cares even if she's just a figment of my imagination. ;_;

>>9871547
Hallucination must be pretty weird. How is your time perception?

>>9871553
In a nutshell, inconsistent. Just like my sleeping habits when I can get some.

>>9871547
Your figmas talk to you and tell you to improve yourself?

What's the problem?

>>9871547
Get on geodon. That cleared all my hallucinations auditory and visual right up.

>>9871553
oh god I hate my time perception.
It's one of the reasons why I adopted my tripcode, so I could go back in the archives and keep track of what happened when.

>>9871598
how are you possibly going to pass your psych eval

>>9871606
I don't need a military psych eval because I'm not joining the military because I'm pursuing a degree in Aerospace Engineering.
Stop thinking I'm Robert. Also, is he really joining the US Army, or was he just wearing someone's fatigues?

>>9871547
I was on that for a while too. All it did was make my penis numb and give me vertigo while tapering off of it. I've since tried a few other medications and they've done nothing to help me in the slightest. For me personally I think my issues are just a big part of who I am and I can't really get rid of them.

I wish my figs would talk back to me other than in my mind, though.

>>9871598
Why would you do that?

>>9871958
because without it I can't properly remember when things happened. I need a well-established reference point or else everything is out of order.
I guess technically if someone really wanted to fuck with me, one could hack the warosu archive and re-arrange all the posts I've made.

>>9872019
Well I get that, but I'm wondering why you even care if you remember things in order or not. I barely remember a damn thing about what i do and it doesn't bother me any.

I think I entered to win this somewhere...

Really looking forward to the Inaban thats coming out. March seems like so far away though. Pardon the jlist watermark

>>9871553
Why the emphasis on time perception, is that a common feature in people going "crazy?"

>>9872309
No clue why I asked that. I guess I was just interested.

>>9871562
Just Rin. The problem is I'm scared that I've grown too attached. She came to me when I was at an all time low and has essentially goaded me into learning and studying harder. Even not being so scared of strangers and doing the small talk. When I actually started going to lectures again I initially took her with me in a lunchbox as moral support and once she threatened to stop talking to me if I didn't pull my shit together for an exam. I actually got scared and studied my ass off to pull off the 2nd highest score. Helped my mark alot though she told me to get first next time and to start going to lectures alone. It's the grow-a-spine or I'll bitch at you routine for going to the gym and talking to strangers too. But the reality of it is blurring since she's become more of a 'person' and I actually find myself slipping up sometimes and thinking of her as said person. More than just odd murmurs in early days. I'm actually hesitant to mention this to the doc since being so ronery I might regret seeing her go.

But that's another problem. I'm afraid of this hallucination becoming too vivid and out of control given time. So far nothing crazy has come to pass but I know it's a slippery slope. If I start 'seeing' her walking around and stuff I know I'd be damn freaked out. I'm crazy enough already. Ironically she's been pushing me to seek more medical/psych help. I wish I were making this shit up. >>9871581 I think I need new meds and something that'll help me sleep too.

Hurrrrr?

>>9873660
Urrrrrr!

Do you have any info about this figure? I can't find anything.

>>9875598
biginjap.com/pvc-figures/5819-one-piece-scultures-big-vol7-.html

After much searching I've finally come across a decent figure of my're waifu in the right colors for sale. However, the packaging has some fairly significant damage, but the figure itself seems to be undamaged. I'm not 100% sure if I should go ahead with it now, or continue searching.

>>9879344
Unless you're considering reselling or you're picky about the boxes, I wouldn't worry about it.

The figure itself should be fine.

>>9879369
I still like to keep the boxes, personally. I can understand.

Where to cope

Anyone got an opinion on the Revoltech Yamaguchi line from Kaiyodo?

How do you guys buy these if you're NEETs? Parents or autismbux?

>>9881925
revoltech is pretty low quality in general

they shipped me 2 of these. only paied for 1. comes in today.

>>9882180
Wow lucky. I wish such a shitty character/anime didn't get such an awesome figure.

>>9882146
Bummer. I really want a tachikoma fig. I wanted to get the nendoroid rererererelease but the backorder was sold out before it was even available.

Megahouse is pretty good.

>2012年秋発売予定
where the fuck is this

am i safe to assume all the good figs will show up on amiami as they come out, or should i be checking elsewhere?

>>9882828
The one in your pic was an exclusive IIRC.

Check Tokyo Hunter, Big in Japan or Yokatta for those. Exclusives tend to be a good chunk more expensive though.

>>9882843
well shit, it's already been sold out on Tokyo Hunter and BiJ. I was just expecting it to show up on ami/HS sooner or later.

I guess I'll have to wait and buy it overpriced as cock on mandarake.

>>9882828

I preordered this sometime in janurary or December from tokyohunter. Havent heard a word since.

>>9881377
I keep most of mine, too, but I wouldn't let the condition of the box stand in between me and and sweet deal.

>>9881925
I used to have a ton of Revoltech shit. It's pretty terrible. The sculpts are lovely and will fool you. Even knowing what I know I have almost purchased both Evangelion and Muv Luv stuff by Revoltech.

When you pull the thing out of the box and realize that it's made out of plastic that is the exact texture of string cheese, you will experience buyer's feel.

I'm experiencing a bit of my own regret at not preordering this one by Alter.

figma godoka

dat foot

>>9885882
Such a good choice for her pose. I haven't bought a Beach Queen in over a year. I might have to get her...

>>9885870
Why cant they make more figs of the girls in their pilot suits?

>>9886370
Why would you waste your time with a Beach Queen?

>>9886448
Hey, they've been improving

>>9886448
Occasionally... Occasionally... they do something for me. Like, I really like my suntanned version of Azusa because that is a memorable beach scene from the show. Same thing with my Kuroko in the micro-bikini.

I like Nyarlko's kick because it's a signature move and she looks cute in a bikini. BQs aren't bad for the money. They're less than half the price of most figs, and the level of detail for the price is good. Just not great.

>>9885874
Looks like I'm getting a madokami after all.

>>9883751
>>I'm experiencing a bit of my own regret at not preordering this one by Alter.

It's currently in stock at AmiAmi if you were still looking for it.

>>9868547
I did. But mostly because i really liked her in game and i thought that she will go well with momohime. Its not a bad figure thought.

Found these yesterday. A good catch, but my figure shelf really is getting full now...
The P&S ones are the best, and only 3000 yen for them all, demons included. Gotta love Mandarake.

I ordered 6 figs. Mandarake Akihabara marks the box as having 2 worth 1200yen. Not getting hit with customs rape fees are nice, but seriously? First time buying from this location but at least make it somewhat convincing. Does Akihabara even lift?

PO both of them

>>9889299

I'm pretty sure most Mandarake stores declare low values. At least all the times I've bought from Mandarake the contents have been undervalued.

Which figures did you order out of interest?

>>9889299
Incidentally, I also received a fig today from Mandarake (Akihibara). It was one fig worth 5000yen valued at 1000yen and declared as a gift. First time that I didn't have to pay customs. I was really surprised. I'll post pics once I get a microUSB cable for my camera.

thoughts?

>>9892276
It's Griffon ┐(´ ～`；)┌ After seeing "those" pictures from their Yukari I'd be too afraid to order anything from them.

>>9892280
I've got every kourindou ver. but Marisa and they all seem pretty well modeled/painted
seen those faulty figures pics myself but I'd like to think they are one in a million.
I'm kinda disappointed with Youmu but maybe is only because I was expecting Sakuya to be released..

>>9892276
Myon is more splurt-of-cum-like than ever.

Where's mah Sakuya figma.

>>9892367
You can get one pretty cheap on madarake I'm sure.

>>9892276
I hate the shoes. Otherwise I think it looks nice.

>>9892391
Shit's fly, dude. Hitops, yo.

>>9892379
3.000 yen? my NEET pocket can't take it anymore. Time to look for part-time job or something.

>>9892276
I think it's cute. I really like Griffon and I'm not sure why it seems a lot of people don't.

>>9892482

They all look the same.

>>9892582
I see. Griffon seems pretty hit-or-miss to me in this case. I have their clear Patchouli and I love her.

I'm waiting for Monday when I'll most likely have my micro-USB cable so I can take pictures of the unboxing. I am so excite.

>>9892716
You dont have a smartphone?
Get a ftp software and just transfer it through wifi. Or just upload it with your phone with wifi.

>>9892847
>smartphone camera

>>9892565
im just not seeing it...

>>9892847
Not anymore. I didn't see the point in it (minus the camera) and sold it to my dad.

>>9892073
That's one of the reasons I like Mandarake. But I think the point was to at least make it convincing. It's pretty easy to see the difference between 6 and 2 figs/boxes.

>>9868996
preordered, imo that face is perfect. That hand, though. Oh well.

Anybody have that shadow dio figure they want to sale?

>>9892073
Got everything in this pic except regular figma Homu. Setup was for something else so didn't really bother adjusting for non-Homus. Definitely makes the apartment feel cozier given barren shelves. Can't wait for Godoka statue to arrive. She'll have an entire squad of Homus guarding her if I can remember to pick the others up when I go back home for winter break. Back to midterm prep.

Missed my Mandarake delivery this morning, guy couldn't wait for five seconds.
I'm never showering again.

>>9897376
The fucking delivery guy here just does a courtesy knock and then darts back to his truck.

>>9897384
Canada post always just puts the notice on my door where to pick up the parcel. I don't think I've ever heard them even knock, they actually just put the notice and get the fuck out as fast as possible.

>>9897394
At least you guys get things delivered to your door without having to pay your ass off.

>>9897394
Weird, Canada Post definitely tries ringing the doorbell first for me. I only get the notice if I don't answer.

>>9897588
I've seriously never had them knock once, and on multiple occasions I won't even get a notification card. Instead the online tracking thing says "Attempted delivery. Notice card left indicating where item can be picked up."

>>9897394
unregistered SAL: postal worker throws it at my porch. seriously. Just throws it a good 20 feet.
EMS: guy has to write a notice and I have to go pick it up the day after
UPS: usually ditches it and runs if no signature.
Fedex: fuckers always want a signature

>>9897376
Picked my homu up just now.
At least they were fast, I ordered this last Monday.

Sold out on amiami.

>>9899296
Didn't it go on preorder just today?

>>9899296
I want to lick her

>>9899306
This isn't rare, especially with a series as popular as Oreimo.

>>9892919
Maybe you're just blind

>>9899337
Artificial stock limit? I mean it's still almost half a year until her release.

Anyone's had bad experiences with unregisterd SAL in the past?

>>9899409
I personally haven't. Just takes 10-30 days.

>>9886650
There's no way I can afford her now. My budget is already fucked until January. Thanks, though.

>>9892276
I think the Kourindou figures are really pretty. The only one I have is Reimu, but I am strongly considering Youmu because I don't have any figs of her at all.

>>9899409
Once took over a month for me, but that was right around Christmas so it was understandable.

>>9901313
Wasn't that announced together with these? Is there any news on the others?

>>9879309
I wish the shorts didn't look so silly with the rest of her gear. I think I'm going to buy it anyway.

Nitori looks pretty decent. I think Meiling could have been done much better. I mean what the fuck is she doing, getting ready to throw a frontal high-kick and saluting someone at the same time?
