The original Wonder Woman is not small. She's the same size as the more recent figures. Exact same size as Power Girl. You're thinking of the really old figures like the first Black Widow and Rogue that came out in 2009, but by 2011 they had increased the size. As for price, look at auctions (not buy it nows) on ebay. They are going for decent prices sometimes. Though most of these are US auctions, so maybe not such a good option for you.

Is there any website where I can find out if a figure will be delayed? March is going to be the death of my wallet if nothing is delayed (except Alleyne, screw that, give her to me already OrchidSeed...)
Thanks! Looking forward to getting it. I have to say, Canti seems to be one of the most photogenic figures I've seen. Really excited to get it
you actually surpassed me on how much I'm spending that month...congrats
Huh. I thought she was 1/8 as well. This...might change a few things. Still getting the new WW though!
Production pictures of Alleyne are up on MFC. I doubt she'll be delayed, thankfully.
Scales are useless. They pull them out of their asses. Always look at the figure measurements on mfc or the product page and ignore the listed scale.
And just got this. She's not perfect, there's some discoloration on her left leg. Can't tell if it's a QC issue or some damage. But she was only $130 shipped, so I'm not complaining.
So uuuUUUHHhhhh.....
Supposedly DMMd is getting an anime. lol. dunno how to feel about that honestly but i'm just glad this potentially means more figures and stuff.
Exactly, finally some male figures that are doing something other than standing. I'm not sure what took them so long to discover this was perfectly possible.
Oh shit, what magazine was this? This poster is incredible.

LOL. That is the damned fanciest cartridge holder I've ever seen.
At the very worst you can always resell them! If you're lucky maybe their price will skyrocket too so you could potentially even gain more than what you paid. I'd say get the two Free!s at least though, I have a sneaking suspicion there is going to be a PO war.

This was just a poster from a magazine, but looks pretty good matted in a nice frame.

I don't know. I found it on ebay. Here's a listing for one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Just-In-Las...159?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d49a37eef
I wasn't able to find any better versions, except for this one on canvas. Only $1500 (god I wish I had that kind of money to blow on junk like this)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRUCE-TIMM-...831?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5afce93dff
lol @ $1500 for the print. Maybe one day when I can wipe my ass with 100 dollar bills.
Though thanks a heap for the links.

I do like the original WW, but I don't know if I like her more than the new one. I'll have to wait to get them side-by-side before I pick a favorite. So I didn't realize the original WW bishoujo went up in price. Where is she sitting at, now? Surely not at Poison Ivy's $200 mark?
Yes and no. Box-rating takes the box condition into account. 99 times out of 100 it'll be a B, because it's near-impossible to avoid damage of any kind. I've gotten B/B figures where the only visible damage to a box was a tiny, barely-noticeable crease here or there. The Japanese are very anal with their grading system. I believe the figure rating is what takes into account whether the box is opened or not. If the figure has been opened, the figure is automatically a B. Just the other day I saw the first A/A figure I've ever seen, which was a P.O.P. Nami with guidebook.
For reference:
Goodsmile.info/en will post a list of releases and delays around the middle / end of the month for figures from all companies under the GSC umbrella (Phat!, Max Factory, etc.). MFC is also a good place to check.
Perhaps it's your lack of good taste.

Did someone say "hammer"?

That bad, huh? Well, its GAFs fault, I even pre-ordered a Rebecca just because she showed up in this thread and looked good. And a Satan. And another Sorceress.I don't even have space to display all these figures...
Thanks, guess I'm out of luck then, Alleyne should be ready this month, Prison School is confirmed March 12 and the rest is all March in MFC. Now if only I wasn't also addicted to LEGO, life would be good.
Perhaps it's your lack of good taste.
:O
Maybe ill pick it up when DCBS or Amazon gets it. And WOW at that Bruce Timm canvas, I want it so bad.

You're the first person I thought of when I heard about the DMMD anime rumor thanks to your icon. haha
I don't think I've ever sold a figure before, but they do seem pretty popular. I guess I'm afraid they'll end up over-saturating the market or something. Wonder how Amiami will handle the traffic once Makoto goes up for preorder. Probably nothing like some One Piece preorders, but if I recall correctly there was a bit of a stutter for Kagami when he first went up so who knows.
I want to shake the hand of the person who suggested. "Hey why don't we show them playing basketball?" Even the Slam Dunk figures, as lovely as they are, are also just simple static poses. Sports should be about motion!

Man I want that Wolfwood fig so bad. Everywhere I look is sold out!
Try Crunchyroll's store. It's where I got mine from. Use the code SHINJI75 to get free shipping. Took about a week and a half to get to me.

Wow I wasn't aware Crunchyroll had a store. Thanks man.
Edit: Just checked. it's like 100 dollars. I just blew a hundred on the Riobot Gurren Lagann last night, looks like I'm going to have to wait

Well my caster figure and Etna nenderoid are still being held hostage by customs. In the meantime a pleasant surprise arrived yesterday:
Still haven't unboxed them.

Nice. I think she's one of the better P.O.P. figures. But I'm not looking to get into another figure line... Rebecca-Chan was just because I like the warrior look and I think she'll look good next to Risty.
Excellent purchases, my friend. Especially that Maeda Keiji.
Enjoy them!
Most definitely.
I am indeed!
You probably know this, but the reason the items are separated in the plastic [after being wrapped in a thin sheet] is protect the items from damage [hitting each other] and paint transfer.
But yes, to those that don't know any better, it might be very disconcerting for them. All of this "dismembered" heads/arms!
You lucky dog, I keep missing out on Momohime, she is one of my last two mission oldies I must find, 3 if you count Kino from Kino's Journey but I'm holding out for a re-release on that due to votes.

I'm with you on Kino. GSC had a recent poll over which re-releases people want most, and she was one of the top voted figures. Hopefully GSC can get the licensing hammered out.

Haha! This pleases me a little more than it should lmao idk why.
I swear I must've been the only person on GAF with one for the longest time, but lately I've been seeing quite a few members with one pop up here and there. Good. Let it catch on. Have you played it yourself?
Kuroko was already sought after, he's been going for 8k-9k since his release and would've hiked over 10k if he wasn't getting a re-release, I'm sure of it. It's true that re-releases tend to ove-rsaturate the market a bit, but we'll see what happens once he's released again. As for server mishaps, yeah I don't suspect they'll be any server crashes but I do think the boys will sell out pretty quick.
Yes! Yes I caught those Slam Dunk figures, how disappointing that they weren't doing anything remotely cool when the manga and illustrations was rife with material. Hell even characters from games that actually fight, I was upset that Yu from P4 got a boring card holding pose when he could've been doing anything with his sword. Mid action slicing, guarding, idk just....not what was chosen.
If you don't have to pay tax then I think so, the rates get cheaper the heavier your order is. If you pay two EMS orders that weigh 1kg, you'll end up paying a bit more than if you just combined the two. This discussion of combining orders came up a few days and I know there were a couple that spoke against it but I can't remember what was said.

.... wow goddam thats sick!A little hot glue makes these sturdy enough to work.
What company are those mother figures from?
@johnsmith I love what you did with that display. Looks so good!
@snkfanatic Those photos are so crisp, great work.
In figure related news, I bit on the Miku 2.0 and Meiko nendos. Will gift Miku to mom (I suspect that will make her jump again, can't wait haha) and will keep Meiko for myself. Hopefully they'll make a figma of her soon so I can add her to my Love is War set. Rin & Len too pls Max Factory!
Who's this? Younger Mokoto from the new anime?

Yeah Motoko from the Arise movies they also have a smaller prize figure from Banpresto that came out last year. This just got released last month.
Thanks guys. These were made by Banpresto and came out in 2010.
It's a prize figure so probably not great.I don't know how I missed this anyone pick this up? How is the quality?
It's like a cut of a knife. I decided to make a picture of it, so imagening such a horrible scenario isn't necessary anymore.^^
Photo said:
I hope so for every single person who buys it. Would be a shame to see more of those pictures.
This isn't the prize figure this one is a 7.5" release.
It's still a prize figure. That's all that company makes. You can see the giant A on the box? That's because it's an A rank prize. Prize figures aren't bad though. I have a few, and they're pretty damn good quality for how much you can get them for.
