Any news about Tharja figure ?
I received an email a few weeks ago saying that it will be shipped this month.

I got an email from Nippon-Yasan about it a week and a half ago. I paid for her right then. EMS and everything, can't wait.
Microfiber cloth, pvc hand duster, compressed air can.
similar stuff and i also use Swiffer dusters. they're great.
you just pushed me to order one now that AmiAmi has her back in stock.

Agreed. Did you get her from AmiAmi? She cost me about 11k even with EMS shipping from N-Y.
Will probably be getting my invoice for Thajra soon since I ordered a bunch of preowned figures at the beginning of the month, Amiami doesn't like holding preowned figs for more than 15 days, and my last two preorders for the month don't show up until the 28th. This month was decent money wise until I lost my mind and ordered 4 preowned figures.

kimono design is cute. I forgot what I paid for her.

Her face seems very weird.
Compressed air has that nasty bitterant in it. Cant do that to my beloved figurines.
Umph!
I can't...I can't. Even with the delays, this is an expensive month for me.
I mean, I would have been fine, but I found a sealed Menace repaint [Queen's Blade] with the bonus. I couldn't pass it up.
Then I found a sealed Suzuhime - Gemaga Ver. [already rare-ish] with all of the bonus items. I instantly hit the "Add to Cart" button.
THEN I had to order the Redjuice art book since...well...it's Redjuice.
But wait, there's more. I then had to find a sealed Sansai Muramasa, one of the figures I've been trying to track down for a while now. You know how this one ended.
Finally, I was just browsing Mandarake last night when I found a sealed Princess Bitch [Orchid Seed]. A raunchy take on Princess Peach? How could I not add her to my collection?
This is in addition to Alleyne, Tharja, Iris Hartley, Olivia and, more than likely, RIsty. I also paid for Lucifer - Swimsuit Ver. ~_~
I CANNOT ADD MORE TO THIS!!!
It is hell on the wallet to be susceptible to both sides. Trust me. ;_;

Hey, I bought the Redjuice artbook too! cdJapan shipped mine a week or so back via SAL. FigureGAF book club? I also bought the Rockin' Jelly Bean artbook, which I'm really excited to get.
Mine shipped around a week ago, too, via HS. I had to go with SAL Registered since I'm trying to save as much as I can, although now I'll likely need to wait a few weeks to receive it. :/
Oh well, I am patient!
Nice job on picking up the Redjuice art book, BTW. Have you seen the early pictures/reviews of it? The quality is amazing.
My first import ever for a figure so I hope the expensive shipping is worth it.

I don't know if I'd say I collect them. I have a bunch, but I just pick one up every now and then when one catches my eye. I often go months between getting new ones.
Same here.
I have a few art books, basically from anime and video game series, but I don't actively collect/seek them out. I just purchase anything that looks nice.
It's a good thing, too, considering how damn heavy [and thus expensive] they are to ship.
Also, what the hell is wrong with this Hatsune Miku? That face...

Seems like it but Im able to opt out of so many figures. I only have 9 more on order for 2014 (which is still kind of a lot)
Now that I have seen for myself how cute Nendos are I cant wait for this one http://myfigurecollection.net/item/153162
I wish I could say the same. :/
Yeah, Katsuragi is nice. Thanks for the pictures.
Word of warning, remember what you said earlier about "only have 9 on order for 2014"? Nendoroid is a financial black hole. They're adorable as hell, and worth it, but they're addictive to collect once you start.
If you are starting, however, Snow Miku 2014 is a great place to start.
Actually my first one is Yuno. Highly appropriate since nothing will top her cuteness. Snow Miku is going to be #3 since in the middle I believe Blazblue comes out and it comes with a Rachel Nendo.
Theres only two Yoshino figures but at least theyre cute.
The only way you want figures like those is sealed. God knows what foreign substances could be on an open one.
Never look at a figure with a black light on?

Those paying for EMS most of the times for packages? Impatient =P?
Probably save more money in the long run not using EMS, particular places with customs charges T-T, using EMS almost guarantees customs will probably check it for me lol.
Wonder if the same sculptor for Tharja will work on this one:

I sure hope so. I have a few figs by Shining Wizard and they're all great.

Yaaa I have a feeling that I will insta preorder her.
Just read on MFC that they apparently put up their exclusives online too? ): Maybe NY will have it, so there's a bit of hope it'll still be obtainable, just for an obnoxious price.Omg whens the preorder date!!!

Ya I have mine in the monthly. Have a Senran Kagura artbook preorder and a few used Nendos...oh man that shipping price is gonna be nasty.
i didnt buy tharja but i'll definitely buy cordelia if it's good
SAL Registered is fine with me. I'm not in a rush.
Holding out for 1/6 - 1/8 versions...hopefully they'll happen
Anyways being as I'm still a newbie, can you pros tell me if I'm just imagining something or does the pink version look way better in terms of quality than the blue one?
I bought the blue Haruka equivalent of this figure. Blue is based on the anime look whereas pink is based on the game art. Personally for me the anime Haruka has a better face. Since I don't have the pink one to compare it in person I can't say if there is a quality difference but I didn't notice anything off with my blue one.

i would never pay EMS for a figure, it's a waste of money. it doesn't really matter if it's sitting here one week earlier. it's just a figure.
