I'm thankful every day that I haven't succumbed to the evil called Nendoroids.
Yeah. My mother will be all over that.
I got her this
and now she wants more. I've made a huge mistake...
hahaha, Nendos are the devil
Damn I clicked on the link and what did I see on Amiamis Item Ranking? Good ol' Risty!
Didn't know they would rerelease her, just saw her image awhile ago but she was sold out - now that! I really have to save some money for the next year.

kongiku for 8k. I was debating it for awhile. The face and overall aesthetic don't sell me that well. Better to somebody that will appreciate it more

Did she really sell out already? I bought her about ten minutes after AmiAmi first put her up. I'm not a huge QB fan, but I love her character design.
EDIT: Uh.... She's not sold out. AmiAmi still has her up. If they listed her as Sold Out before, she isn't now.
I believe they were referring to her being sold out prior to the re-release, unless I'm mistaken. Either way she's definitely a great figure. I think she'll look nice in my collection.
As for that Snow Miku 2014...I must have her. I don't purchase many Nendoroids, since I already collect enough figures and anything more than that can be troublesome, but I do make exceptions for those that look as nice as Snow Miku. I'm glad that the Good Smile Company online store has now started shipping from within Japan and not out-sourcing it. I haven't experienced the faster delivery times yet since I haven't had an order ship from them after the change [although I will have Makise Kurisu - Lab Coat Ver. shipping at the end of the month] but I've heard good things.

Ah, alright. So I did get to episode 8 of Queen's Blade before I had to stop. My reason for stopping was "this is terrible". And it was, my friend. IT WAS.
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.
At the very least the character designs are good/unique, which makes for some interesting figures [as in the case of Risty]. I'm sure you won't regret your decision to purchase her, despite not liking the series she's based on.
You were stronger than I was. Don't think I made it past the 3rd or so. Still, if Risty was the same scale as their DC Amazon I would had POed her. As such, meh.
HA! your fortitude is commendable. I don't think I made it past 4 episodes.

Maybe I'll check out a bit of Rebellion, but holy shit I can't go back to the original series. It's so baaaaaaad.

^ Those are adorable. I re-watch Totoro at least once a year, along with Whisper of The Heart.

Release dates:
Does this debunk the Bayonetta conspiracy theories and instead suggest incompetence? That's for you to decide!
None of the delays affect me this time, surprisingly.

Ha! Bayonetta.
Total excluding shipping : 33217 JPY or 245€
I am torn. On one hand I'm actually a bit relieved this happened because with my trip to Paris to see the Miku opera I ended up spending a bit more than reasonable, on the other....it goes to fucking december now. God damnit.
Edit : Mom just called. She got the payment request for Love is War DX but she screwed up and selected Paypal as payment (she was nervous as hell while ordering, was with her on Skype). Gonna go over there and set her up with a Paypal account now (she's been asking for one for a while).
They should just cancel it lol

Should get Nintendo to fund it. Although then it'd probably be released exclusively at a single store in Japan that nobody visits
What chrono01 said, she sold out before the rerelease. I am not a big Queen's Blade fan either, even though I have an japanese PSP game which I can't play because I can read japanese as good as I can speak Pashto but her character design is what fascinates me too.^^

I pre-ordered her, since it's Alpha x Omega and not Megahouse proper like the other Yamato girls. With them I waited for pics of the retail product before buying, so I skipped Akira and got Yuki and Yuria. I hope AxO show Kaoru's sculpt soon as well.
You should check out the show, it's very good despite a slow-ish start.
Maou-sama and figma Samus are in. Unboxing now.
The Demon King's box is big, but not as big as I feared. Comparison pictures ahoy!
Her box is almost square. She's all in one piece, with an extra hair bit if you want to display her without her horns (which is blasphemy, but I digress).
One foot has the 2 pegs, the second touches the base as well, but doesn't lock in. The figure is quite heavy (dat useless flesh no doubt) but the base is wide (and isn't very light either), so no wobblyness here.
Her majesty herself is nothing short of fabulous, as expected.

Bayonetta...delayed...again...
She had better be the most incredible figure to ever exist when she's released to make up for all of the delays. I'm really confused as to what's taking her so long. I can understand a few delays since her pose is somewhat dynamic, but this many!? It's nearing a year of delays, and honestly I would be surprised if it makes the December time-frame. :/
At least it lessens the burden on my wallet this month, but then now I have next month to worry about. Of course figures from there will likely be shifted into January, which will cause the cost of that month to become troublesome. It is never-ending!
I'm still excited to receive Bayonetta [if I ever do], but all of these delays have definitely been a headache. I didn't even pre-order until a few months ago I can't imagine how those who pre-ordered at the time she was announced feel...

I'm not familiar with it either, but I did find the girl in the yellow suit with pigtails charmingly cute. She was 50% off on Plamoya, so I snagged and ended up paying some $59 in total I wouldn't have bought her otherwise.
Speaking of which, it's been a while since I made that order, hasn't come through yet...
>hoping for figures of male characters
there is your problem
dw i feel your pain ;__;
Kotobukiya's Shinobu up at HS. 7,020 yen with an April release. Expect this to sell out quickly, like within a few hours or so [given the popularity].

I'm passing, though. I'm really interested in seeing how Alter's version turns out, though.

We haven't even seen Alter's sculpt yet, have we? I'll see what amiami wants for it. I'm kind of a sucker for Monogatari figures.
Not yet.
We've seen a silhouette of what the figure will likely look like, but not much else.

This one is from Koto, so it's not like she'll be hard to get a hold of after release. Anyway, bishoujos are my top priority in 2014. Too many good ones coming out, and it'll help me spend less on figures next year.

Sweeet. Thanks for the heads up. Pre-ordered along with Band of Hawk Guts figma.
I share your pain.
I shouldn't have watched Muv Luv Total Eclipse...Eyeing the figures now..
Edit : Looking at the picture of Maou's base, I get the impression there's paint missing on it. Doesn't bother me, but it's odd coming from Kotobukiya.
Edit2 : "These breasts take the shape of God's teardrops as he weeps for his disgraced child."
