Thanks for the kind words on the photos, folks. I'm planning to get a new lens soon that'll help me get even clearer photos.



Respectable? Looks like loli-jailbait to me. Did not order. It doesn't help that she's part of a line that consists otherwise of highly sexualized characters, so you can't really say "but it's not like that!". It's totally intended to be like that - let's not kid ourselves. But hey if it floats your boat!

Leviathan also has no pants, and is wearing only a shirt, a belt, and a Band-Aid.

Them be fighting words, and yeah that's the reason I didn't get Leviathan back when she came out. And when I said more respectable looking, I was defining that on a scale of all the seven deadly sins figures. Lucifer and Beelzebub are the only 2 I would feel comfortable with anyone I know seeing. I would still be uncomfortable about Leviathan but she would go in the display case in my room which visitors don't go into unless I take them there so I wouldn't have to explain shit in the first place. I used to be extremely prudish but I take more of the Johnsmith approach to figures now.

EDIT: and castoffs do not turn me off (like in the instance of Lucifer), I just would never display it with cloths cast off or for that matter ever look in the first place because strange as it sounds, it doesn't really titillate me to have naked anime chicks on my shelves, I find sexy clothing both in real life and on anime characters much more sexy then whats actually under it. It's the imagination of whats there that gets me.

Sorry, I didn't mean them as fighting words! If you like it, buy it! It doesn't work for me largely b/c of the issues and misunderstandings around loli content. It doesn't appeal to me, and I wouldn't feel comfortable buying Beezelbub just to complete the set. In fact she may have saved me money b/c she was the one that was an absolute no go and helped curb my "Collect 'em all!" tendencies. Leviathan I might've been able to convince myself "oh I could just back her into a corner of a bookshelf and it's be fine!" or say "Mammon's not that bad is she?" (She is...)

I think that Luficer is the most respectable of the line. There's nothing particularly outlandish about her outfit or proportions, which could also be said for Beezelbub if she didn't stray into loli eyebrow-raising territory.

I feel pretty much the same way about cast-off. What is the Johnsmith approach anyway?

Burka or no buy.

[Magna_Mixalis]

A random thought: for the Deadly Sins line, isn't it ironic that Satan and Lucifer are the two most tasteful and restrained designs?

For me, my only complaint for the line is that it's too damn expensive. They're generally well-sculpted, but not worth the price of admission.

The way I've seen Johnsmith go about based on my short time here is that he largely will not go for "scandalous stuff" but will go for the "revealing but classy" stuff like Dark Elf if its a mature woman. He can correct me if I am wrong but that's what I call the Johnsmith approach to figures. His shelf is full of classy ladies many might be wearing revealing clothing but none of them are "putting out" so to speak.

My line is pretty much still drawn at no topless figures unless I can leave the clothing on, I do not like massive boobs (in real woman or 2d woman or figures) and no figures in overtly sexual poses and definitely no lolis in overly sexualized poses etc. I guess I differ from you in that Beezelbub is completely fine to me because I can see no overt connection to sexualization even when I try to look for it and its really on its own just a cutesy pose. On my shelf since I have none of the other seven deadly sins, it will not have any of the sexualized connections at least in my opinion and I am very very strict on what I get that may have any connection to lolibait. For instance, I did not order that magic girl with the vacuum from square for that very reason even though I honestly did like the figure. If I can, I try to stick to mature ladies but like cajun, I do like the cute, and oftentimes the cute is what it is and some people tend to twist what it is when it isn't or sometimes Japan likes to take cute and make it just fucking wrong and sickening (like cake sonico -.-) That's the long short of it i guess

So guys I have a problem. I got EMS shipping for my Tharja but I work during the day. Mailman has tried to deliver twice and they want my signature.

Says something about I can let someone else be my agent? Can someone else pick this up for me if they have this slip?

They're going to send it back in two days. =/

If I am not mistaken you should be able to schedule it to be picked up at the post office if that is more convenient for you.

Yeah. You can pick it up at the post office any time they're open. If your work schedule encompasses the entirety of the post office's operating hours, then you can sign the card and give it to someone else so they can pick it up for you.

Dude, call the post office and tell them to hold your shit. You can pick it up yourself or send someone with the slip and your signature to get it for you.

Belgian post only does one delivery, after that it keeps it at the local office for like 3 weeks. I prefer that, even though going there to retrieve it sucks, it's quite convenient.

 

[dani_dc]

Nippon-Yasan will mark down packages for you, whilst BiginJapan will mark down the price to whatever you tell them when you order. So won't get custom stung unless you get unlucky.

How do you get BiJ to mark down your order?

 

[Samurai_Heart]

How do you get BiJ to mark down your order?

When you order a figure/item from them and then you go to purchase/order it you can type a message to them, i.e. "Please mark the value below £20" etc and they would do it for you. Credits to DeadRockstar for telling me before I made an order from them XD

I got one of those with my Tharja order. I assume it's because I've spent a shitload of money. That or they just decided to upgrade.

I know I've sworn off KanColle stuff, but I do like this WO-class joint. Can't wait to see her painted.

Also, whoever else Raptors has posting pics on her blog now, them motherfuckers need to learn how to tag shit.

I'm pretty sure it was. I've had that happen, though the actual gravity of the wording never hit me until the other day. XD

 

[Bombless]

Yeah, it's on the slip taped to the box. It's the customs declaration. Enjoy your used toys!

Edit : If the Kancolle anime is anything like this (fan made) gif, it'll be close to my Anime of the Year.

I know nothing of the source, I just find the premise [and the character design] extremely entertaining. I'm hoping the upcoming anime is good.

I also pre-ordered Holo at HLJ after seeing all of the other sites already sold out. They still have more available and allow easy cancellations.

http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYPP-582/Fig

I may or may not keep it, it all depends on how my July looks. That's why I opted for HLJ.

*Gasp* You traitor! Weren't we just talking today about how she was cute but not a must-have? People are drinking that Koto-Kool-Aid. A lot of their stuff is selling out fast.

broke down and ordered all three girls und panzer figmas on amiami so far. In for the whole crew now.

We were, and there's a 95% chance that I won't keep her. However, there's still a slight "need" there, and I don't want to risk her selling out and being impossible to find if I change my mind later on.

Honestly, if it weren't for HLJ and their easy cancellations, I would have taken the risk. However, since they're there, I figured I may as well.

Again, there's a very high likelihood that I'll cancel [I actually cancelled my Rebecca pre-order last night], it's more of a safety net than anything else.

[I actually cancelled my Rebecca pre-order last night]

oh shit, now that's just blasphemy.

 

[chrono01]

oh shit, now that's just blasphemy.

I know. :/

I went through my pre-order list and "trimmed the fat", so to speak. Rebecca looks great, but I think I'm done with One Piece figures. I've obtained the whole crew, as well as a couple of the secondary characters, in addition to variants of the main crew [such as Swimsuit/Mugiwara Nami], but I think I'm to the point where enough is enough.

I have full confidence that she'll turn out well, though.

BTW, Dragon Toy is doing what, I consider, to be the best Sonsaku Hakufu yet. She's expensive, and I won't be pre-ordering her, although I am tempted. The sculpt is just great, as is the coloring. That price, though...

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-005022&page=top [NSFW-ish]

I just don't love the series enough to warrant a pre-order. Well, that and the price.

No really. Unless they add another member to the main Straw Hat crew, I'm finished.

My order is waiting on Risty too. Megahouse sure loves to suddenly release their figures without a release date. It happens relatively often.
