Figure GAF |OT| Where has all of my money gone?

Yeah, that's pretty much why I haven't gotten that one. Might look at some convention dealer's rooms this summer to see if I can get a look at her in person.

The local comic shop I have near me has her, that is where I got my Asuka figure. I didn't like it much either
only reason she is still there and not at my house
 
Make way, the tyrant lizard king is here!

It's...beautiful :'). This is the largest box I've ever had the pleasure of handling. It even makes my Fewture Ex Gokin Shin Getter box look small.

Where'd you get it, how much?


Know if Gojulas Giga is also available?
 
Thanks for the well-wishes, I need all of the cheering up I can get. As for figures, I have like dozen of them sitting in their boxes (I don't have space to display them). Basically NIB, though a couple I did unseal them, but kept them in the plastic clamshells.

We'll see what happens, but I might start listing them here...

*My waifuuuuuuus*

I am sure some of us will take a few off your hands. I know it is the last thing you want to do, but at least you have that to fall back on. Keep your chin up Magna, again hope things straighten out so you don't have to do that.
 
Asuka looks nice but I don't have the money
I don't want to part with it more like.
9k plus about 2k delivery and import duty...I don't love you that much Asuka :(

Nice for all you who pick it up. My budget for figures is around 4k to 5k tops and I'll stick to it!

I already have no more space for figures too...

Picked this up from Amiami. It cost me 16,130 JPY. Pricey, but this thing is huge and wonderfully detailed.
They have yet to make a new version of Gojulas Giga, but a lot of fan favorites are available such as Liger Zero and its armors, Geno Breaker and more. You'll find decent out of box builds for all the new Zoids under the HMM brand here.

Sorry to hear about your financial difficulties. That's never fun. I'm sure you'll pull through just fine, but all the best to you.
 
So, has anyone ever tried repainting a figure? Got Senran Kagura's Homura delivered today and she's looking a little... orange.
 
Got my EVA Type-08 Beta today. That thing is big.

Looks great!

Considering getting it, but might go with SAL instead of EMS, whichever is cheaper. Any word on how heavy it is? I try my best to avoid paying duty.
 
Sorry to hear that, Magna_Mixalis. Selling your figures, especially once you've become attached to, is never easy. It's difficult enough cancelling pre-orders of ones you've yet to obtain. I hope things improve for you soon!

Also, I'm starting to weaken on Alter's Asuka [well that didn't take long]. I keep going back and looking at pictures of her. I can't get over how amazing her face is. They captured her "tsundere expression" perfectly.

I always go with SAL small packet/eco whatever. No insurance, no tracking (unless I'm forced to). Haters gonna hate. Cheap arse gaffer represent!

Her lips look odd to me but it's I minor thing. She looks alright overall.
 
I'm kind of worried about clothing colors rubbing off and onto the skin of cast-off figures like Alleyne and Iris. It'd be a shame to ruin the paintwork like that. They both turned out superb.

I'm not sure if there's a reliable way to either prevent paint staining or remove paint stains afterwards.
 
Just cancelled Miku 2020; hopefully AmiAmi won't ban me. Just got a financial bitch slap and might have to start selling figures off...

I hate my life right now...

That sucks. Not this year [thankfully], but the two years previous, I would get my tax return only to have it swallowed up almost immediately by various, sudden life expenses. So aggravating.

I posted it earlier. So, this is what it's like to feel invisible.... ;_;

Hello? Is someone speaking? XD

I missed your post, that's all. It happens.

She was first out of the gate of the three of them, so I can understand why she doesn't seem to look as great. But I was expecting something a little more illustrious. Get it? HA HA.

No. No it did not. At least I lasted a night [somewhat]. >_<

I still haven't pre-ordered her, but will likely do so soon.

Just do it and stop pussyfooting around the inevitable. ;)
 
So... has anyone here gotten involved in any.. hot-gluing?
I'm assuming no obviously.. I only just found out that it had an actual term...

Is that where people actually jerk off on their figures? Unfortunately, I already knew that was "a thing". Really makes you wonder what grade those figures would get from AmiAmi pre-owned.

I wish I didn't know what this was. THANKS DABOOKERMAN.

ugh sorry to hear that, man.
 
I just...this whole thing makes me sad. Let's not go there.

I hate to continue, but seriously WTF people? It's not like the good ecchi figures are cheap. Why ruin them like that!

LETS CHANGE THE SUBJECT. I'm super excited for the sorceress from megahouse and orchid seed.

Me too! Orchid Seed one looks the best and most source accurate, but a)it's Orchid Seed so it won't come out for like 2 years and b) I gotta have the MegaHouse one to complete the set w/ Elf and Amazon!

I might end up buying both. :P

I like how the Skeleton in the Orchid Seed version is just shoving his face right into dat LIFE.

It's based on the best Sorceress art. Dat staff. Dat skull.

The only downside to the Orchid Seed Sorceress is the wait.

Oh man, that term is hilarious.
 
I completely forgot about that Noel Vermillion Distortion Drive figure. Seems I missed the pre-order for it. I think I may just spend the $200 on the original. :(
 
I can't stop checking my Japan Post tracking... for just the two MH Nendos. Not sure how you people don't go insane every month waiting on shipping.
 
I know. I saw someone ask raptors on her tumblr what she thought, and apparently, purposefully avoiding used figures from male sellers because they're worried about that is a thing. Can't say I blame them.

BRB, I need to email AmiAmi and ask if they guarantee all of their pre-owned items to be free of any and all DNA.

Check yours with a black light. I would hope amiami would check all that they get, but if they aren't and it turns out people are getting really "used" toys it could be a big deal on the internets.

I would imagine you could just wash them.
 
Well, I certainly learned something new today... Not sure I ever wanted this knowledge, but I can't unlearn it now.

... I gotta say the wait on the "Marth" figma is trying. I swear none of the other Nintendo figmas took this long.
