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

A few people wanted to see my March orders, so delivering.

Might have gone overboard with that tax return.

That's a sexy order. Gwendolyn and Mercedes are probably two of my top five favorite figures that I own.

That reminds me, I still kinda wanted to get Zelos...
 
Heh, yeah... Won't spend this amount of money on hobbies until this time next year though. Having your yearly bonus and tax return show up the same week is amazing.

Yeah, I was lucky this year that some random life expense didn't suddenly pop up and eat my tax return. That happened the last two years in a row. XD

Enjoy your movie. Still haven't seen The first one myself.

The first movie was pretty awesome.
 
Any chance the box can be used as a "homeless box home" XD, did you get any queries/stares from the post office/delivery depot =P?

People at the post office were bewildered at the fact that it took the clerk 4 minutes to find and carry my package to me. A little girl said "wow" when I got my box. It was funny.
 
Could use some outside opinions on this figure:

I've been thinking of tracking it down because it's the only Needless figure that was made available, but I can't help think that the paint job isn't that great.

Been thinking of grabbing the Max Factory Zero Suit Samus as well, but I also really want to get this gem. I can't decide D:

Meh. If you could find it for like, $20 or something, sure. But I wouldn't pay more than that. It really doesn't compare quality-wise to what you can buy now. Even if they didn't make many figures based on a given franchise, you don't need to buy whatever they do release in order to justify your fandom. Especially if it's not high-quality.

It looks...fine? Maybe $20-$30 seems an appropriate price for it. I wouldn't go crazy far over that.

Eh I feel the opposite. I'd rather dedicate my resources to a single show or a select few that I feel really passionate about, buying as much as I can both low and high end. Not because I feel obliged or forced. On the contrary, I feel so because if I love a character and show so much I want to indulge in them as much as possible. That doesn't mean you should pay over the odds for something however.

Why do you think I'm buying those kill la kill figures? Because I love the show and characters so I want to have them on my shelves. I have better ways to spend my money all things considered but if I love a show soo much I feel that I want my collection to be a visual representation of that love.

The shitty thing is that BBTS has it for $65, on sale.
 
Shitty pricing and BBTS do belong in the same sentence. XD

But it's worth noting that $65 is more or less what her list price was when she first came out.

Hmmm, I'm going to have to seriously budget this time around. I won a PS4 this week and now I need a cheap HDTV to play it on, might not even be able to buy Eve :(
 
These two figures are easily some of the best figures to come out this year so far. I expected Tharja to be godly, but I'm super impressed with Raidou. He's flawless, and pretty damn big for a 1/8. If you're into SMT or just good figures in general, consider buying him when he's cheaper or used. Megahouse outdid themselves.

Glad to hear Raidou is awesome, just a damn shame that it's the figure that Megahouse priced higher than their regular line ups...then again it's Raidou!! Hope Atlus makes another based on him soon T-T

Hehe next time should just say: "Look for a very large box" XD
 
HHNNNNNNGGGG

Aniplex Homura:


I think her face looks a smidge wider than it should be in relation to the vertical length. The SPOILER Homura from the third movie has the same issue, I think.

I really want to buy her, but the GSC madoka I got is 1/8, and this one is 1/7. The difference in size really bother me.
 
Enjoy your movie. Still haven't seen The first one myself.

Thank you. It's a great sequel. The first is very good. I would recommend you see the first movie before this one just so that you a privy to how intense the fights are and how good a fighter the lead actor is.

Alphamax Sorceress 1/8th Scale, so she's the smallest of the 3 figurines in my small collection.

I'd say they captured how ridiculously interesting the character design in Dragon's Crown is.

ROFLMAO those breasts! In-game and in the official artwork, her boobs are maybe half that size. AlphaMax really took it over the top. It's a very nice quality figure, and the detailing is quite nicely done, but holy crap they just went too far.

Thank you for the photos.
 
The Alter one? Doubt it. Scaled figures may have swappable parts, but they're never poseable. The only one I recall where you could swivel her head was the Mass Effect Shepard bishoujo.

Yeah that's what I liked most about Bishoujo Shep, guess you can't always get what you want. I'm going to have to sleep on this before I punch in that preorder.

I hope we get Thanatos in their Game GX line next. They seem to be sticking to Atlus characters and the P3 movies are still coming out.
 
Managed to resist buying too much. Mostly because I spent most of my time seeing the sights rather than shopping. That and Akari was impossible to find :(

Thanatos, hmmm I don't mind, but wished they also released a scaled figure for Makato/Minato as well, he's long overdue =/

Did you find any impulse buys that you really love/fell in love with?

April 10th preorders open for Tsukuyo =D also PoP Sailing again - Bellamy from One Piece:
 
I can understand that. His prize figure isn't enough, and his other figures are 1/10 scale, which sucks.
It's really annoying when I think about it the so, so, so many figures Aegis have gotten XD, I mean I get the appeal but I want a Minato/Makato scaled T-T...I thought a movie would have upped the chance X'D
it's finally here and she's gorgeous:

I start 1 year ago and now there's no more room in my shelves, I'm scared.
You are among friends, it'll be okay ;)
A Haruka fig. Funny, found it for 8000+ in Osaka but it was only 4000 in Tokyo. Also found the Haruhi movie nendo.
The Haruhi figure seems like a good find, especially when it was released several years ago. And it was a good thing you shopped around for that Haruka, saved a bundle, I remember overpaying only slightly for a figure and found it cheaper in another shop after I bought it from the expensive one T-T
