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.

Ahh gotcha, the other little one I have isn't bad might jump on this.

Yeah, some aren't bad when they're only around 1,000 yen, but when I see some rarer ones of for 4,000 or more, no way are they worth that.
 
This page reminds me that I still need to play Earthbound...

In more figure related news I got a import duty slip from the royal mail :( I assume it's for my Samus figma. I don't mind paying the 20% but the £8 handling fee kills it. Damn you!
 
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.^^





I hope so for every single person who buys it. Would be a shame to see more of those pictures.

ah i see, doesn't look as bad as my imagination made it out to be. I'll hope for the best

looks more like a scar on her boob which isn't so bad.
 
Fuuuuucking fuck fuck fuckerduck. I was dusting out my detolfs today - dusting figures, windex, the whole deal- and when I was dusting Kongiku's feet, the lantern just dropped right out of her hand in pieces. As it turns out, the glue holding the top of the lantern (the slightly dome-shaped thing) decided to wear away, so there was nothing holding it on. I re-glued it, so hopefully that'll hold. Other catastrophes include Max Factory Etna's tail deciding not to stay in anymore. It was tough to get to stay in in the first place, with a tiny slot up her skirt (not THAT one, there's another....not THAT one, either) but you can't wedge the tail in there at all anymore. Other than that, mission complete.

I'm going to run down to IKEA tomorrow for that billy I wanted to get. After discovering what a pain in the ass detolfs are to clean, the bookcase is the obvious choice. If it works well, I may get another billy down the line and reserve detolfs for the bigger stuff. I know Olivia is going to need a shelf all to herself.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. :(

Well, I tried but 99% likely i was too late, since I didn't see this till 2 hours after posting. Hope I am not tho, since this would make my needs drop to just Bounty Hunter Yoko and Kino.

EDIT: maybe I have a better chance afterall, the order went thru, now just a matter of if its still on the shelves >.>
I wish you luck!

My order from Mandarake has been "Checking the Stock" for the past three days. If I don't hear anything by tomorrow, I'll be contacting them. :/
 
Borrowed my sister's camera to take some pics. I have no idea what I'm doing with this thing. Too many settings.

Oh cool, I didnt know you ended up buying her. How you liking the piece, and more importantly where/how are you gonna display it

^also thanks freez for the sale links. I just wish jun were as cheap as them too.

She's sitting on my desk. As much as she cost, I want to be able to look at her all the time.

Here's what I said when I got her.
So, overall she looks great. She's a good size, and the face is beautiful. But she's also overpriced. The paint quality just does not match what the best Japanese figure makes can do. Max Factory could make this same figure in pvc, and it would cost half as much, and the paint would be better. She just looks sloppy on the details. If Japan hated Junko, they would loathe this even more.

I don't regret getting her, but I definitely will not be making a habit of buying from Sideshow (or any other non-Japanese) statues again. You're paying for size and the polystone. But PVC for life.
 
MJ's lovely overall but the paint job looks so sloppy I was a bit more disappointed than I thought I'd be considering the asking price. Despite all this I'm still looking forward to Gwen.

Noiz please,but then Id have to find away to get the Aoba since well otp.
I like your taste in fictional men.

And here's my latest figure pickup. He's been delayed for a full year for me. Tharja ain't got nothing on his delay lol
Incredible, both the figure and the year delay lol
 
Damn it. Mandarake really is a dangerous site. ~_~

So I've been wanting a specific figure from Samurai Spirits Zen, namely of Suzuhime [maybe NSFW?]. I absolutely love the design, and it's both sexy as well as elegant. Unfortunately, she was released in 2009, so seeing her around [especially new/sealed] is rare. Very rare.

Well I just saw that she was available on Mandarake for 10,000 yen, WITH the bonus items. Considered she retailed at 8800 yen back then, and usually goes for 12,000+ yen [even without the bonus items, sometimes] this was a great deal. So, despite my March being brutal, I hit the "Add to Cart" button. ~_~

I need to stay away from that site.
 
So I'm looking to beef up my Tekken bishoujo collection. I have Christie and I've got Jun on order. Most of them don't really seem like must-owns for me, but I think Alisa looks good, as well as maybe Xiaoyu when the price drops a bit. What do you guys think?

I think you already have the best two from the line. While the rest of the line is great i felt all the other pieces have something that I didnt like about them. Christie and Jun on the other hand came out so well. Kotos bishoujo are such good bang for the buck when I think about it
 

As for alissa, i just didnt like the character in tekken 6... but as you can tell from johns pic though, shes marvelous.

Alisa seems to be getting scarce. AmiAmi is sold out. I got her from HLJ for 6.4k, but I stuffed her in the private warehouse, as I have the new Kotobukiya Shinobu shipping from them next month anyway.

As for Lili, meh. I liked playing her in Street Fighter x Tekken, but the bangs on the figure are beastly.

Edit: Just got an email from cdJapan - they shipped my redbox ; redjuice artbook today. Yay!
 
Thank you for ordering with AmiAmi.

Order has been canceled as requested.

1 x RG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia Plastic Model


Order cancellation is not accepted in principle at our store, however.
While we can cancel your order this time, we would ask that you try to keep cancellations to a minimum in the future.

If you have any questions regarding this order, please feel free to contact us.
Again, thanks for your business!

AmiAmi writers know how to strike fear into my heart in the nicest sounding way possible.
 
That's actually their standard copy/paste cancellation email.

You don't want their other one, trust me.

Hm, I never got this before when I cancelled some 'Tales of' Alter figures so it was surprising. But I'll trust you and not try to get another red mark on my AmiAmi permanent record!

It might depend on the one cancelling your order, but that's always been the response I've received [well, in the last several months, at least].

But yeah, I try not to cancel unless it's absolutely necessary, despite giving them great business. It's always a stressful experience, worrying if I'll get banned or not. >_<

The pricing on those figures is hilarious. It'd be cheaper to just buy the statue that came with the most expensive version of the game.

You did it to yourself. XD

Is that with SAL or EMS shipping? For something in that price range, EMS is the way to go.
