Certainly, but at that point I still wouldn't buy her. Just because I'd buy a figure for 4k doesn't mean I'd buy it for 4k plus another 4k for shipping.

Was Inori really EMS-only? I almost bought her a few times, I'd have been pissed to discover she was EMS-only.

No, Inori wasn't, but she got down to like 3500 yen.

Inori definitely wasn't EMS-only. Her box is ridiculously small. I believe he was referring to Ultimate Madoka.
 
Holy shit, I thought you liked everything. It must be awful if Chrono dislikes it. :D
I don't know if I'd say that I "hate" her, but she definitely didn't live up to my high expectations. She's extremely small, even for a 1/8 scale [she's more like 1/10], and her coloring/details differ quite a bit from the prototype. She deserved better. :(

Maybe worth 3500 yen if you can find her for that price, especially if you love the character. But no more than that.

Also, I just ordered Shimakaze!

No, not the GSC version, the one from Amakuni. N-Y still had her available [without the bonus patch, which for an extra 2k yen, I didn't want anyway], so I can now easily pass on the one from GSC. She was a lot cheaper too [well, by a couple thousand yen, at least], and being an exclusive means she likely won't hit the bargain bin later. As much as I love the expression of the release from GSC, Amakuni has a much more accurate face [although I'm sure the upcoming anime will make the GSC version more relevant]. She's all I have pre-ordered for July too, so the month is completely open!

So yes Freezasaurus, you were right, but only partially. I did pre-order Shimakaze, but not the one you expected me to.

Bwahahaha. Either way, you still caved to the KanColle marketing machine. :)


You got a problem with Jean Grey?

I'll admit I didn't think the Jean Grey bishoujo was that amazing until I actually had her in front of me. But she's great in a way that pics really can't convey.
 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, JUST KILL ME NOW!! Just watched Log Horizon 22, I swear to god, Akatsuki is tooo fucking cute its killing me. If a figure comes out for her i am so dead. If she gets a nendo or a figma it will probably be my first ones of those even if i have managed to swear them off even going so far as being able to hold out on snow miku. gaaaaaah dammit.

Man, even I ordered Snow Miku, and I have exactly 0 Nendos. What kind of monster are you?

I knowwwww. I am buying every cute Akatsuki figure that gets made.
 
I got Naoe even though I can't stand the anime itself. I plan to have a Big Hammers collection. She's great.

Narika looks like a leaning hazard.

Edit : Naoe is also a leaning hazard if you do not use the hammer stand.
 
Thoughts on either of these?

Harika has caught my eye before, she looks pretty cool. Naoe, I actually own. She's really cool, though the support post for the hammer is a bit of a pain in the ass because it doesn't match up exactly how it is in the pictures. You do need it to be as close to the main base as possible, though. The hammer is pretty intricately detailed, too.
 
narika isn't a leaner. Its been a few years since she came out and zero issues.

Naoe has no issues so far as well. Just use the stand to help out.

GET NAOE! Narika is nice as well. Pretty stable so far
 

Get the hyakka figures. ALL OF THEM! ALLLLL

I have to admit that they look good together. That arrangement doesn't do it justice though.

I recommend getting some risers to raise up the ones in the back row. Somebody recommended some clear ones earlier that are for jewelry displays or something. I don't remember who though.
 
Is the Noel Vermillion Nendoroid hard to find now?

I'm wondering if I should keep my BlazBlue Limited Edition pre-order with the Rachel Nendo.

Pretty close to impossible, as she was part of the Japanese LE and Aksys only got a hundred or so to sell in the states. Don't know if she's worth anything, but I don't think I've ever seen one up for sale.

Disclaimer: I work for Aksys, for whatever it's worth. Also, the Blu-Ray is kind of cool if you're interested in some of the back story of BB. Oh, and Rachel is a Nendo petite, if that helps/hurts any.

Honestly, I was more curious than anything else. I've pre-ordered every BlazBlue release in NA, and LE if possible. This will be no exception. I missed out on the Noel nendo, though.

Where's my Litchi nendo?! I'm seriously hurting for Litchi merch.

Oh, I didn't even realize it wasn't a full nendo. I currently own zero nendos, so I didn't know there was a nendo petite.
 
Is the one for CP going to be a full Nendo? That's what it says in the product description.

doubt it since the JP one was also petite. let me find a picture of it.

If you want it I'd probably not risk trying to find a standalone after release. I do recall the publisher selling standalone Noels at their booth at Anime Expo many years ago.
 
Elin on mandarake for 16k. gd it. Why did amiami have to list one for 10k at 2am on a weekday. I would have caught it if they had put it up earlier with the bulk of their stuff.
