Figure GAF |OT| Where has all of my money gone?

Monogatari is an odd series. You either adore it or don't "get" it. I'm the lather. I enjoyed Bakemonogatari, was bored and then confused with Nise (will never look at a toothbrush the same way again), super bored with Neko, and haven't even bothered with the second season. Very interesting cast of characters to say the least. MC is great when he's not trying to molest his sisters. Still mad Kizumonogatari isn't out yet.
 
? Yeah some One Piece characters have ridiculous proportions but they rarely get figures, unless they're Franky or something...


=O You haven't read to the latest One Piece chapters Lik? You've got some explaining =P

So glad I didn't go the P.O.P route for One Piece figures, cause space and the battles to preorder one from sites XD

Nah, I don't read the manga. I watched the anime but I'm way behind. I stopped during the Sky arc which is years ago. Haven't felt like catching up yet.
 
I know a lot of you guys are probably getting this figure

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-003848

I want to order it but I have one major concern. Her eyes...they seem really off. Have you all seen any better pictures of them? The pics that AmiAmi has make them seem blurry...Megahouse a good figure company?

Your mileage may vary with Megahouse. I like most of their recent works, but a good number of people here been disappointed with them in the past. Their Persona 4 line was good excluding Rise and Yukiko. I'm getting the Elf and Amazon, and maybe the Sorceress if Orchid Seed takes too long. They seem fine so far, but we have no idea yet how it'll end up since it's just a prototype. Keep track of it on figinstock.com and buy it after it's released if you're so worried.
 
Fuck you dude! I just impulse bought it lol. I dunno this character but what a cutie.

Why? She costs more at HLJ.
You are welcome. >:)

As for my reason to go with HLJ, I'm not 100% on whether I'll be purchasing her or not [since I'm not confident what August will hold], so I wanted to go with HLJ for ease of cancellation.

I'm surprised she's still up. Must not be that popular of a character.
It surprised me too. She should be more popular. :/

Oh well, I like her.
 
All those Makoto's

Got my (small) February AmiAmi shipment in today. Kotobukiya's Shiki Ryougi is not as good as GSC's, which is not hugely surprising but still kind of disappointing (especially with the price inflation on all figures now):


RIOBOT Jehuty, on the other hand, is pretty damned awesome:

 
I find both the face and the sculpt on the kimono to be better on GSC's. And sure, it's not the most expressive pose (or facial expression), but I find that very well suited to the character.

I'll be picking up mom's box at the post office tomorrow. I think she looks great.

I'll also be picking up my Amiami Feb. box, with the Ikkitousen nurse. I'll leave her on mom's table in the living room, she's gone on vacation for 2 months. The nurse I picked up today will arrive before she returns too. She's so going to freak when she gets back hahaha!
 
Kuroko is getting a re-release! So glad I waited and that MH are responding quickly to the demand.

My K-ON figures arrived today. Being prize figures, I wasn't expecting too much from them... but they are actually really good quality, not to mention very tall!

These are prize figures? They look damn exceptional, who made them?
And really nice photos!

Nipples? On my Frees? I feel sick...

This is how they should've been.

Poison blonde version, 16K. Man. I want one of these so bad.

I was hoping this would be gone by now so that I wouldn't have to convince myself not to splurge. Poison bishoujo by Koto couldn't come fast enough.

I noticed they were starting to meet demand because Kagami went up again last week.



And what the heck are these 300 dollars P.O.P that people are after? Sailing Again Franky? Bellamere?

Ah seriously? I didn't keep track of that one, so he's sold out again? Damnit.

Soooooo tempting. :|

Though if it sells out again, would save me from being indecisive if I want it or not.
He looks REALLY damn good though, even the shittiest of photos haven't been able to ruin his overall charm. And if he's released at the same price as his first release then I really don't think it'll be a waste.

I actually had a considerably easy time. But I'm assuming it's because I was on-the-spot, and the demand for this one wasn't at the levels it usually is for a new P.O.P.

Fuck you dude! I just impulse bought it lol. I dunno this character but what a cutie.

That's no way to talk to your enabler. XD

She's great, but I'm not touching One Piece. I got myself in enough trouble with the Seven Sins already.

Eh, I just bought her because she looks like an awesome warrior character to go with the Risty reissue I'm getting this month. The metal bikini reminds me more of Red Sonja than anything else.

Was browisng AmiAmi pre-owned last night and this caught my eye... She looks pretty cool, but she's from an eroge series. AmiAmi also has an A/B GSC Triela (Gunslinger Girl) for 14,980 JPY. A bit steep, but someone might be willing to pay it.
 
That looks pretty dope. I wound up passing on Eleanor but this might be impulse purchase territory...

Too late, I just out-impulse purchased you. XD We really don't get enough sci-fi type figures.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't even read your post until after I ordered her. I'd been sleeping on it since I saw her last night.

Yeah, that's pretty much why it's pretty tempting.

I'm always hesitant in buying figures though. :x
 
I've never stopped the source being eroge stop me as long as the figure itself is classy. That's not my cup of tea but it's not too bad.

I have a thing for sci-fi figures, because just like dark-skinned figures, they're just not as common. This one is from Alter, and I think she'd go great on the shelf with my Zero Suit Samus, Matoko Kusanagi, bishoujo Shepard and Jaina Solo.

You're getting soft.

Last week I posted a totally NSFW pic because I didn't even bat an eyelash at it. Now I'm being overly cautious. XD

Ha no big. I was 50/50 on buying her anyways. Lord knows I probably don't need to spend anymore money of figures this month with Tharja coming and Bishoujo Jun from Big Bad Toy Store. I already spend a pretty penny on Alphamax Mai and wasn't sure I wanted to spend the $60+EMS for Metatron. You did me a favor, breh!
 
True Demonbane got started as an eroge, but so did Fate/Stay Night and no one gets creeped out at buying Saber figures. Demonebane ended up getting a manga and anime series, iirc.

Glad to hear! I passed initially due to being iffy with Megahouse (they seem to be hit or miss with figures), but people seem to enjoy the first Kuroko release, so I have high hopes for the line. Still undecided just how deep into Kuroko figures I want to get as I'll be tempted to get all of them, even if I don't have the space/money for them all. haha

The Makoto seems underwhelming to me, but I have a few friends that will be overjoyed to see him (nipples and all).
