I hope they do a rerelease of her.

Me, too. But it's GSC, so good-fucking-luck with that.

 

[Crazypanda_85]

Any 3A fans here? They have some of the best figures in the industry. I know I posted something in here before with no response. I hope more people check them out! Anywho, this is one of the recent drops from yesterday:

I was able to get the Snowblind colorway of this model (which was limited). It's a 1/6 scale model that comes with the missile. They just showed their second Lost Planet model and will have their Metal Gear Ray model dropping this December.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I hope we do get UtaPri 2000% figures, Ittoki Otoya outfit even and we can see his sides, want.

 

[kewlmyc]

This has been a very busy two weeks for me. Wish I had a better camera though.

Someone likes Madoka.

 

[sca2511]

Good gawd, how many Sabers does a man need? The only one that's ever really caught my eye, that I would buy for a reasonable price would be Saber Alter. But she's super pricey at this point.

Saber by Alter or Saber Alter?

On the topic of Saber, which would you guys/gals choose?

Distant Avalon

or

Golden Caliburn

 

[Freezasaurus]

Saber by Alter or Saber Alter?

Saber Alter. I know what I'm talking about. Otherwise I would have said "Alter's Saber."

And to answer your question, Golden Caliburn is superior.

 

[DeadRockstar]

On the topic of Saber, which would you guys/gals choose?

I own both of those and if I could only keep one it would be Distant Avalon. I think Lily is the best of her armour designs and GSC made it look great.

I realised my count of 7 is wrong as well. 7 displayed, 9 total. Come on double digits.

 

[kewlmyc]

Someone likes Madoka.

Yeah. Ultimate Madoka's accessories are surprisingly sharp. Pricked myself several times putting her together.

I might be in the minority here but I like Distant Avalon more.

Nah I am with you in liking Distant Avalon more. Thats the Saber I have

 

[gokieks]

And to answer your question, Golden Caliburn is superior.

This is incorrect.

E: Excuse to take a post a picture of Distant Avalon using the light box? I think so:

 

[sca2511]

Saber Alter. I know what I'm talking about. Otherwise I would have said "Alter's Saber."

Haha, I was conufsed, I didn't know of the Saber Alter by name until I checked MFC.

I'm liking both Avalon and Caliburn. Avalon for the armor/looking badass and Caliburn for the dress + exclusivity. Does she even wear the Caliburn clothing in the games/visual novels? That'd probably be the deciding factor.

 

[Bombless]

Mom's second order came in the other day. Since she's on vacation I went to pick it up for her.

2012 Racing Miku's box is pretty big. That was unexpected.

Saber Lilly isn't even in the games iirc.

 

[gokieks]

Saber Lilly isn't even in the games iirc.

She was created for Fate/unlimited codes.

I've been real close to buying a few but all my toy money ends up going to more Hot Toy figures

I have all the Madoka magica figures too. Every bit worth the money!

I have Saber lily Distant avalon. Thats my choice. The other is very elegant but I just bought the dress version Saber with that look and Imo its much better looking.

 

[Professor Renegade]

Preordered The Eren and Mikasa figmas off of BBTS, can't fucking wait till January and April.

Edit: unless...is it better to order off amiami or something like that?

 

[Bombless]

What's this Saber character from?

 

[DeadRockstar]

What's this Saber character from?

The visual novel Fate/Stay Night made by Type-Moon. There have been many anime, video game, light novel and manga spin-offs and adaptations since then though. Saber Lily is from Fate/Unlimited Codes, which is a fighting game.

 

[johnsmith]

Preordered The Eren and Mikasa figmas off of BBTS, can't fucking wait till January and April.

Edit: unless...is it better to order off amiami or something like that?

Yes, amiami is always cheaper. BBTS prices are awful. Eren is sold out, but you can still get Mikasa. $41 vs $65. Amiami is a better deal, no question. I'm sure they'll open up more orders for Eren later too.

negligible difference with the price for these figmas if you order with EMS for AmiAmi. shipping with BBTS will usually be $10 for this size with UPS. i'm ordering from AmiAmi these days cuz all i use is Registered SAL now. the difference in savings is worth it.

The only reason to go with AmiAmi is they'll ship it out sooner than BBTS.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

My Kotobukiya Steins;Gate Makise Kurisu got custom charged ='(, paying for it tomorrow, first one in a while from Amiami =(

I blame Royal Mail going public >=T I seriously hope it's not a correlation...

 

[Bombless]

Technically you should pay tax on all packages from outside the EU. Consider yourself lucky they missed you until now.

Thanks man, Im definitely going to be using amiami most of the time now.

Saber by Alter or Saber Alter?

Distant Avalon

or

Golden Caliburn

All of them are amazing [I own all three], but I think I prefer Distant Avalon slightly more. She just looks more...prepared for battle with the armor and such, but she's more elegant in the Golden Caliburn Ver.

It's a great sculpt, for sure.

Thanks man, Im definitely going to be using amiami most of the rime now.

Yeah AmiAmi are amazing. They're extremely strict regarding cancellations so don't use them if you're not entirely sure of the purchase or not. They always ship out extremely fast for me, contact me quickly when I have a question to ask, and usually [99.9% of the time] have the cheapest prices on pre-orders.

I use HS for things that are sold out on AmiAmi and HLJ for anything that I'm not 100% sure on.

 

[RocBase]

Good gawd, how many Sabers does a man need?

lmao....I wonder this for Miku and that Sonico girl too. And I thought the Cloud merchandise was bad at the time.

I hope we do get UtaPri 2000% figures, Ittoki Otoya outfit even and we can see his sides, want.

whaaaaaatttt?????

where is this from? tell me it isn't a garage kit!

 

[Samurai_Heart]

=( You're harshing my buzz bro XD

All that Saber statues reminds me I need to finish watching Fate Stay Night and the others that are out =P

Also RAH of Neon Genesis Evangelion Rei Ayanami:

Which also reminded me RAH Link is out next month...
RAH Real Action Heroes Link at Wonder Festival 2013

Thank god I'm not getting the PS4 till February or so, next year.

 

[johnsmith]

I got my Megahouse Chie today. She actually turned out well. She's definitely the best Megahouse Persona figure so far, no contest. If she wasn't an exclusive I'd definitely recommend her, but seeing how expensive she is, you'd have to be a super fan like me to get her. She does come with 2 heads, and 2 torsos, so I'm sure that added to the cost. But probably not worth $128 shipped. Still glad I got her though. She's about the same quality as Wave's Rise.

One reason I don't mind preordering from BBTS. Cancel whenever.

You and I clearly have different concepts of "much higher". I was thinking you meant like, $20 or $30 more.

 

[Professor Renegade]

Let me know when they make an Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness chainsaw-hand.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Just wondering does anyone have any current issues logging into amiami.com?

 

[Ryuuroden]

Look at that pearl sash/thing. I liked her when all there was were full shots, then this image sealed the deal a thousand times. I had to put all my diplomacy skills into dissuading my mother from ordering a second one. There's no need for 2 of them and if this sells well there's a chance they'll go for a recolor.


Also, since Trigger is backed by GSC, I expect Kill la Kill to become an insanely succesfull figure line.

I am eagerly awaiting the Kill la Kill line

 

[meltingparappa]

So I received my Yoko/Nia mini-figures from amiami about a month ago, but my friend's crunchyroll preorder on them hasn't shipped yet.

Uh..... well, I'm sure they'll be shipped out any day now.

 

[dont call it a comeback]

Watching my first episode of Comic Book Guys on AMC.

Had no idea that action figures were this serious.

 

[Christina Mackenzie]

Just wondering does anyone have any current issues logging into amiami.com?

No problems logging in.

 

[chrono01]

Sorry about that. For some reason I had remembered/thought that she was around 10,000 yen at AmiAmi, but it appears that isn't the case.

It's really not so bad after all!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Easy mistake to make. She's definitely the most expensive Kotobukiya piece that I recall.

 

[DeadRockstar]

[Freezasaurus]

MOMO!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Well, it makes my November a bit cheaper while fucking my December in the mouth. I'm just waiting for Melty to get delayed again.

 

[Bombless]

Well...fuck. Another month for Bayonetta. Sigh. Watch it go all the way to December. I just fucking know it.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Well...fuck. Another month for Bayonetta. Sigh. Watch it go all the way to December. I just fucking know it.

At this rate? Yeah, December.... of 2014.

 

[Christina Mackenzie]

Another month's wait...

 

[Giolon]

B]· Changed from October to December 2013:[/B]
WING - Fiona: Shunya Yamashita ver.

Ah fuck me. That's my most looked forward to figure in the rest of the year.

I did pick up the other Wing Fiona on the cheap for 3750 yen from AmiAmi for B/B. It should show up any day now.

 

[Elixir]

Haha, Bayonetta has been delayed so many times it's almost Suzuha tier.

 

[RMI]

Kinda bummed about the Miku 2.0 delay. Both October and November are looking expensive for me, but at least this takes the heat off a little in the short term. My budget got a little hosed by unexpected vehicle maintenance this month so I can use a tiny bit of breathing room anyway.
