I like you.

Koto's Eren is actually the first attack on Titan figure I like. Great action pose.

Yeah, but dat price.

Yeah he looks incredibly baby faced. Still gorgeous overall though, PO'd.

Yeah, I'm worried about the price and I'm not the fondest of his face (mostly those lines under his eyes). The rest is fantastic though. I feel as if all AoT figures are going to be around or over 10k, so waiting for GSC probably won't do me any good (I'm predicting Shimikaze levels of ridiculousness for Mikasa and Eren). I'll probably just wait for him to be released in the west since Koto USA usually has way better shipping if you're patient.

Seriously, GSC have been the worst offenders by far with this price increase balls that I'm honestly expecting Benten levels of ridiculousness. The only reason why I'm waiting for their Mikasa to go up for PO is to see the damage.

GSC slander aside I think the 10k range will mostly effect the more elaborate ones like Koto's Eren, and as pathetic as it sounds considering the source, elaborate AOT sculpts will probably be the exception as opposed to the norm so there probably won't be a huge selection of rad but expensive figures to choose from anyway.

Dude, GSC Mikasa is going to be at least 13k, but I wouldn't be surprised of they tried to get 15k. The latter is what Benten should have been, but dat greed.
 
Koto isn't much better for their non bishoujo figures. Their 4 Leaves Ikaros is around 12k when the previous figure in that line was only 7k.

Koto finally realized how good they're getting. XD

The Ikaros though, she's 1/6... So of course she's going to be a bit pricier. Daisy was 1/6 and wasn't much cheaper. One Koto piece I'll buy no matter the price - Lum Invader. She will be mine!
 
It includes Max Factory. I didn't even order that adorable Tsurugi figure that went up for sale last night because I don't know if I can swallow 9k for a 4.68" figure. Even if it is Max Factory (and completely adorable).

Height measurements aren't really fair for a seated figure :p I ordered from BiJ because 8.5K was palatable, but yeah the RRP isn't great. More than Mea in fact.

Still though, that's a far cry from Shimakaze costing more than Saber Bike and Insane BRS lol.

I know, I know. I'm actually pretty fond of seated figures now because they really help fill out shelves without obscuring anyone. But she still seems a bit pricy. I'll have to think about it a bit more.

Yep...same here I passed on it for now till I give it some more thought. It is adorable but I didn't expect that price.

Also I want to be able to order a Mako Nendo....

She's sitting down, so I thought that would affect the price somewhat, but I guess not.


Ha, both of those are exclusives bundled with the anime BD limited editions. So if you're only getting it for the figures, that's about 8k for a Nenderoid.

9k for 4.68" smh

Christ, does the figure have some features that makes up the extra 5k?

Oh don't forget the price increase by Play arts, even though they aren't really justified...cept maybe exclusive series...

I know it's a business thing that they are upping prices but still smh. Have the quality of figures at least improved with the mark ups?

Wasn't the anime also terrible as well?

I've almost done that. 7k for the Akari~n but I did buy it for the CD too...
 
Finally my Tharja figure has been shipped.

Note that I pre-order it on August 07th, 2013 and since them I had a place in the shelf for her. And this is my pre-order record.

Now I just need to sit down and wait for her for a few weeks.
 
I thought you had to buy your wife a dress. Good to see your priorities are in order. XD

In all honesty it started yesterday when something I thought was sixty bucks wound up free (car service). Then, I had some silver dollars that I got when I was a kid from the tooth fairy that I sold for $100 at the coin shop. Price of silver is insane. That left me 48 dollars away and my wife made me promise to cool it for awhile after this.

You should've sold the coins somewhere in 2011, there it was 50 Dollar the ounce for a short time, at the moment silver is on a pretty low price. However, this isn't BullionGAF^^ Great that you managed to get the money for this, it's looking so romantic, really great statue.

That was 3 silver dollars for 100 so I got some collectible value too. 1900, 1922, 1924. Still have 1898, 1900 and 1922 still. The 3 I sold were the worst ones also.
