Inspired by the last thread I have purchased my first (four) figures. This miku, figma madoka, nendoroid madoka, and the azusa with the cat.

It cost me $240, shipping and all included. They don't arrive until September. Am I going to regret this?

That Griffon one has a lot of problems from what I heard. She can barely hold her umbrella, some people had paint issues with dark spots all over her body and in the most extreme cases her finger wasn't pointing to her mouth like shown.

I'd go with the one in the right. It's not only safe from all those problems but I personally I just find the pose better. I really like the fact that she is sitting on a gap. But yeah it's a question of personal preference, just be aware that Griffon figs have issues and that Yukari one is particularly notorious for it.

Well, if you want to get technical on why they look like shit, it's the fact that he's using a high ISO and posting such large files so people can pixel peep and see the noise. He's also getting a shutter speed like which suggests he could definitely lower the ISO and still get usable shots handheld with better quality. He might take the pictures straight from his camera, resize them and then upload them, which could also explain the noise and weird colors.

Actually, looking at the EXIF it was a raw file, so I'm guessing he either doesn't care or doesn't know but his profile says he's a film student. I've got no idea what film student normally means, but I'm guessing he really should know better since these things are pretty universal with cameras. It's now bothering me too. In the EXIF the photographer's name is entered as Ricardo Miyada so I'm going to assume that's him.

Can't speak to the P&S, once I started learning how to use a SLR I couldn't stand them.

For that though, you'll want a macro prime lens, with a focal length of around 35-50mm. You'll also want a flash (preferably 2) and radio flash triggers for them (I use Cactus V5 triggers, they've worked well for me so far and are dirt cheap compared to something like a pocketwizard). A tripod might be nice if you have issues handholding.

The key is really the flash kit, as that gets you the light that lets you reduce your ISO and thus all the nasty picture noise. If your camera has one of the standard ways of triggering external flashes (PC terminal, hot shoe), you could use the off camera triggers.

In terms of cost, a low end SLR + decent macro lens would probably be $800-$1000, a pair of manual flashes and the cactus triggers would be about $350.

speaking of figures and amiami... anyone got any weird shipping calculation?

See pic: basically, bought Kuroneko Nendoroid (lucky as it was the last one), and 6 cards sleeves (yeh, TCG fag here) and few other light crap.
Then, got a whooping 5560 yens shipping fee for Europe (so basically a 2.5kg package).

Not being a braindead guy, I've sent a mail, asking inquiry regarding what's up with the weight, and they updated it into 3700 yens (1.5kg, which is actually true when it arrived).
They say it was a miscalculation, but that's sort of incredible to literally bump the weight of a parcel by 1kg.

Anyone got the same kind of stuff? Not going to go paranoid on this helpful shop, but that was a bit too close for comfort. Thank god I knew the actual average weight of a nendo / sleeve pack.

Using other sites was also a good way to determine if I wasn't going nuts or careless about weight in general (HLJ and hobby search are at least helpful regarding this).

Thing is: you can always check out the weight and thus the shipping fee on the package, since the japanese post is responsible of that. But at this point, no idea if you can ask for a refund from amiami after the payment and shipping (I guess making a picture of your package may be an OK evidence, but you never know with that kind of crap).

You should be able to tell whether you'd like the fig or not before you get it. I've always thought that Momiji had kind of a weird face. And I like Momiji too, I wanted to like that Griffon statue.

Griffon does occasionally do good figs though (see Suika, Keine, their original Remy), it's just that because they constantly use different sculptors (many of whom suck shit it seems), don't at all expect them to be consistent.

Chua Churam was my first figure in my collection.
I bought her for 60USD at the time!
Now you can't even get a mediocre 1/8 scale for that price... I blame the economy & the overall inflation in the figure industry.

Even though she's so old, she's still one of my favorites & remains one of the best.

People have begged Alter for a re-release, but rumor has it that Alter isn't planning on re-releasing any of their figures that retailed in 2008. Supposedly they got rid of the molds or something.

Chu x Chu Idol 2 came out before the recent Winter Wonfes. I was hoping Alter would pick up the series again, with new figures or at least a re-release of Chua Churam. The fact that they didn't do anything about it indicates that they've dropped the notion for good.

Actually, that's not a correct comparison. Michelangelo could only produce things imperfectly, slowly, and eventually would die. The mold could be recast numerous times, extending the lifespan of the series indefinitely. The process by which they make the figures is also perfect, quick, and only ceases when they choose to.

It's more like they made 100 copies of the Gutenberg Bible, and then decided to destroy the plates. Or, they made 100 Honda Civics, and then destroyed all the plans, manufacturing equipment and facilities, and then killed all the assemblers.

It makes sense to value the works of a person who makes something imperfectly and creatively each time. It's another thing to value a piece of mass-manufactured sculpture, made for commercial distribution, and designed to have artificial "rarity" attached to it by destroying the original production capacity for it.

Well shit.
It seems like I might be going to Japan from july onward for at least 3months.
I have tons of shit preordered that is coming around august/september. Mikus, holo, hobby japan reimu and other miscellanous orders like touhou nendos and suika figma.
I think I can probably ask them to ship it to my japan address but how the fuck am I gonna carry a bunch of huge boxes through the airplane/custom? Anyone have any experience in bringing them back?

I tried to buy a figure at Mandarake, but I didn't read that I could only use an e-mail that was used for a paypal account. I haven't gotten a confirmation mail, so I guess they will just ignore the order? How long will it take before it will restock?

>>7452890
the largest size PO box is 22x12x14 and it costs $205 at cheapest, up to $300 depending on the location, for a 6 month block (they only do 6 and 12 months). given the size of figure boxes you're probably looking at 1-2 large figures to fit in one PO box. it'll probably be cheaper in the long run to have them delivered to your japanese address and send them via SAL back to your american address. let's say it's 1500 yen (might be a little less) per large figure to ship it SAL. if you really want to be cheap you can send it via surface ship which took about a month to cross over but my stuff arrived fine (but they were books).

Here is she compared to the other Griffons. Needless to say she is miles better than the older model, the hair is more detailed, the facial expression is less bland and the pose is just generally much better. Besides the size the wings are pretty much the same though, it shows that the same company made both.

I don't know what to do with my older Flan now, maybe I'll buy 2 more and have myself a complete set.

Max Factory's VN02 is very.. eh.
I bought her, looking at the pics you'd think she'd be a super solid figure. She locks into the base with a metal peg, but the base itself is made from a very malleable vinyl...

If you look up reviews, you'll see that she leans in all directions, depending on the product. It's kind of odd. Still, I love this figure & do recommend her. She can be found on mandarake from time to time for very modest prices too (about 90-100USD usually, despite having retailed for 120USD)

Please take a look at these reviews & judge for yourself:

with that in mind, box that shit up and check it to begin with. if japanese handlers are like american ones they are going to toss, cram, and smash that shit as much as they can in order to fit it on the plane. better have sufficient cushioning.
