Momo, Senjougahara and Taiga just showed up. Yay!

Gotta work some magic this weekend to get them displayed. Room is super-tight until I get to IKEA to pick up a billy or something. But from what I can see, I love them all. Great figures. Momo is pretty breathtaking, though.

Taiga's forehead scares me....

 

[Freezasaurus]

Taiga's forehead scares me....

She's actually being issued for the third time (so she's the second reissue this figure has gotten). Taiga is great. Not only because she's 1/6 scale, but she's blushing as well. This Taiga in particular is from the last episode of Toradora. Such a great series.

 

[dakkumauji]

Pretty much if I have the ability to choose unregistered.

Edit: Gintoki figure to be up for preorder on Thurs 6th Feb and the P.O.P One Piece collector Excellent Model Portrait.Of.Pirates One Piece "MAS" Phoenix Marco on the Wed 5th Feb

Saw that about Gintoki on Twitter.

Not sure if I really really want it and if the preorders for it doesn't close out in an instant.

Yeah, I've seen Toradora. JCStaff's best Romcom. It's just that her face seems rather small compared to the rest of her head. Her forehead is bigger than her face... Just looks odd to me, that's all. Standard anime proportions I guess...

Ah Charmander my all time favourite Pokémon evolution line XD

Go with Nippon-Yasan or HLJ like me ;P, at least they can be easily cancelled with them.

And apart from Kyubei it seems Gintama figure sell quite well, the better G.E.M ones anyway.

*gasp* Are you leaving AmiAmi behind? I'd be tempted, though I don't know how combining orders works (or not) with N-Y. Is it all done via request by email? Can it be done at all?

But I feel like buying figures should be like a commitment...

Well, not really, but I don't mind the make sure I really really want something clause of AmiAmi as it makes me think for sure if I want it

Lol I have one last-ish order from AmiAmi which is the Mikasa figma ;P, will pay for it as soon as GBP to JPY rates increase a bit XD

I'm only leaving Amiami behind for now due to customs souring me (that huge ass customs, that I still haven't been replied to... Amiami order XD. I know it's not their fault but *sighs*) from buying them N-Y is great for Europeans as they mark it down. And you'll need to check on the combing order thing, probs can email them on it. But if you or more than 1 figure in a single order they'll only ship when both are ready so they'll combine it then.

Lol your choice ;P but if you want a higher quality Gintoki figure than G.E.M's last effort (like me) this seems to be the one XD

 

[dakkumauji]

I guess it depends on when it comes out and how many other things I'll be getting by then.

Im surprised I havent gotten a payment request or shipping notice from AmiAmi or HLJ. Megahouse hasn't released Kuroko or One Piece figs yet? Oh and Marco foes on preorder next week, brahnis going to bring down the sites....

My Kuroko is preparing for shipping (N-Y), so excited to get him!. Hopefully fedex truly delivers him in 2-3days.

He was released on the 24th. Not sure about One Piece figures though. Which ones?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

So yeah. Bandai is going to release SH Figuarts Mario...

I can't trust SHFiguarts until they are in my hand.

(And all the other G Gundam crew)

Huuuuuuuuh? That's definitely not Rikka. I'm talking about the third pic from the top. The first one is Mei Misaki from Another.

Malseena from Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger.

Yup

Cyril has arrived and OMG she is huuuuuge. Couldn't unbox her as I was at mom's (and she had the mental strenght NOT to crack it open and keep her forever) and now I'm at work, so pix tomorrow!

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Is there any way to see how much stock is left on a sideshow item?

Thinking of buying Mary Jane if she's still available when I get my tax return and/or bonus from work in about a month.

Sideshow are pretty useless in that regard. With all the cancellations and CC declines they get, they tend to not update their inventory quickly. They only bother updating it when stock gets really low (~100 or below). I wouldn't worry about it selling out within the next month or two. Statues with that many made usually don't sell out that quickly.

Cool, thanks. I'm probably gonna break down and order her as a birthday present for myself in a couple of weeks.

Brb, sleeping until Wonfest.

Watch it be a huge disappointment.

 

[UpperCaseN]

got the mikasa figma payment request from amiami an hour ago. now to decide on EMS or SAL registered, I ordered 2. hmm

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Lol.
I normally do but right now is just a little crazy.
I have 3 shipments of figures out that im waiting on, also there are a few figures that im just getting impatient to see like Figma Marth(actually I just want to know if its

Spoiler

Lucina or not

then I can chill on that).
NY toyfair that i have also been waiting on for American stuff also mid February(I collect some GI Joe lines and such)
And to top it off I have no good games to pass the time at the moment until FFXIV's PS4 beta on the 22nd.

Spoiler

Watch it be a huge disappointment.

Probably.
Though if we just see SHFiguarts Injustice Batman, a near complete Figma Marth and anything Log Horizon,
I will be satisfied.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I would welcome it. If there are three or four figures that I wanna get, cool. GSC Mikasa, Alter Labrys, maybe that awesome God Eater 2 chick from GSC...

More realistically, there're going to be like, eighty figures I want. FML.

Benten is in Amiami's Top 5. I see only raised prices in our collective future

Nah, I'm probably going to cancel my Benten order from N-Y, fuck that shit. You know how much cool non-figure stuff you can buy for $200? If the prices for regular figures go up by that much, I'll be cutting down quite a bit.

You actually preordered? Oo

In other figure related news, I've found Iris on Amazon. Will clarify with HobbySearch what's happening with my January order and probably grab Iris afterwards. I want to charge it to my CC now so I can pay it as the month cycles.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Yeah, I'm still on the fence purely because of potential profit if he sells out. If I buy him just to keep sealed and sell later... well, $$$$$$$$$$$.

Yeah, I've had my eye on that one yet I've never quite found her cheap enough for my tastes.

Got my Chun-Li Bishoujo delivered today.

You guys are cray, she looks fantastic.

Ordering Cammy Bishoujo for sure.

another AmiAmi order paid. slowly lowering the preorder list.

Haha, that's exactly my feeling these days. If I could get shit down to one or two figures per month after I get through my current pre-orders, I'd be happy.

Until Wonderfes, that is.

When the numerous [amazing] figures are announced [and hopefully, subsequently put up for pre-order], our wallet(s) will never be safe.

To a certain degree, yeah. But it won't keep up forever. I don't want to go through my whole life fretting over how many pre-orders I have each month. XD

I'm going to learn to pick and choose the figures I really need.

 

[kewlmyc]

Estelle has been moved to Feb. I don't believe AmiAmi's lies....

oh man, this is rad as fuck but super-pricey. Hello new figure-prices.

Yeah, I'm focusing more on exclusives or ones that I feel will be difficult to find later on. Others I'm planning on waiting until release to see if they're worth it, I just don't pre-order anything/everything anymore.

Also, that price on Purple Heart...NO THANKS!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Also, that price on Purple Heart...NO THANKS!

lol, I know. I looked at the figure and was like "yesssssssss" then I saw the price and was like "noooooooooo". Good lord, they think they can ask for 15k for something from WING? Holy fuck, what sick twisted world is this?

 

[johnsmith]

Once we all have too many figures and need to trim our collections we should have a meetup at an anime con and get a vendor table.

Yes, we can get one right across from the GSC booth and shoot spitballs at them until they reissue Love is War DX.

MANNN PURPLE HEARTTTTttt


wtfffff. 10k is kinda ok considering how much shit is going on with the figure. 15k!? wtf. I paid 15k for figures before but those were long sold out aftermarket prices and/or exclusives

 

[Danferno]

oh man, this is rad as fuck but super-pricey. Hello new figure-prices.

I was interested when I first saw it as I've been casually looking for a Purple Heart figure--this one flew under my radar. But the price... yikes. Unfortunately, I also just had my first "something's not right with the face" moment. Not sure how I feel about that...

 

[Josephl64]

sadly if it was Blanc, I might have caved...
