It would make sense. They're doing tbat with the Spider-Woman bishoujo, so they obviously keep that kind of thing in mind as an option.

Bishoujo Wonder Woman is up for pre-order on AmiAmi for interested parties:

Nice jehuty on amiami, but MAN what a price tag on that one.
Odd that the image shows her redheaded and with the pistol in hand. The pistol is from the blackhair Shep.
Weeks of getting spammed by FigInStock for POP notifications finally pays off. Snagged an unopened, box damaged version of Nico Robin NEO (http://myfigurecollection.net/item/890) for 5000 yen plus shipping. I still want a few more from the NEO line.

I do want to grab the Armored WW, but I've already got 3 figs in April, including the all-powerful Mara Jade bishoujo. So I can wait an extra month or two for her to pop up on Amazon. I should have about a billion rewards points on my Amazon Visa by then. Other bishoujos are a higher priority anyway... like Starfire and Canary.
Speaking of which... Now that crunchyroll is carrying One Piece, I watched my first episode and.... HUH!? I know it's episode 619 and I'm a little lost on the plot because one can only glean so much from wikipedia, but that has nothing to do with the issues I have with the show. My reaction was more along the lines of what the fuck is this ridiculous bullshit? Sorry guys, and no offense - but if I had to sit through 600 episodes of that nonsensical dumbfuckery, I'd kill myself.

thanks I ordered it due to a friend pressuring me. Shes an enabler.
Chrome accidentally auto added a line in the 2nd address line. Is it an issue? I can't change it I think after the order was placed. I live in a house so I usually leave it blank but chrome sneaked it in.
Anybody know?
Picking an arbitrary episode in the middle of an arc 600+ episodes in is a terrible way to judge a series that is so strong and popular that it crashes our fave figure sites when a new figure from the series is released.

Maybe. But I honestly don't think anything could make me like this series. Just because a billion people like it doesn't mean I will.

dark elf coming out nov 14 according to ohno
alter sonico po open up tomorrow
alter sonico po open up tomorrow
This month is going to be expensive, what with Amane Suzuha, Belldandy with Holy Bell, Dark Elf, and others being released. I made a cancellation with AmiAmi for one of my other figures [thankfully they were accommodating], so that lessens the load somewhat.
I'm still unsure of Alter's Sonico, though. She looks really nice, but I kind of wish she wasn't Christmas-themed. I'm not sure how she will look year-around among my other figures. Still, this is Super Sonico with Alter's quality/attention to detail. She also looks extremely cute. ~_~
I need to decide whether to pre-order that one or wait for Orchid Seed's 1/6-scale Cheerleader Ver.

Max Factory - Dark Elf
Max Factory - Dark Elf: Brown Skin ver.

I thought 1 figure was shipping for me this month, now it's 4
Hype. PS4 at the end of the month as well.

I considered alter Sonico, but it's just another version of her in a bikini.
I'll go for OS Sonico simply because it's a bit different. Plus 1/6 scale is always good.
Can't wait to see the Shunya Yamashita version of her.

YES! That Shunya Yamashita version needs to have its sculpt shown, and soon. I absolutely love the artwork.
By the way, who wants to bet that Bayonetta will be delayed...again...this month?
As Jayhawk mentioned, even with the most amazing series it can be difficult to jump into it at episode 600+. I really enjoy the series, but I started from episode 1 and worked my way up. I know, it's a massive commitment to someone just getting into it, but it's really hard to judge a show so far in without any of the previous backstories.
Speaking of, my Mihawk Ver. 2 [One Piece!] and Kobato Hasegawa [as well as Maria Takayama Nendoroid] figures arrived today!
Lately with all the random bargain bins I kinda lost enthusiasm for buying more anime figures, even Max Factory isn't a safe bet anymore and don't get me started on Kotobukiya... though I think thanks to the exchange rate the biggest hit was Ultimate Madoka.
Got into an argument with a guy on MFC (god, why?) over figure prices as he's unwilling to pay more than around 50% MSRP it seems, check the used figures he was selling, everything at MSRP price or more. Maybe you lot are less creepy

So does Alter's Melty have a solid release date yet, or is she still roughly "Autumn 2013" or "Delayed Into Oblivion"?
Dabookerman
Member
Yup! Probably haha.
Even though I have that on order, the only Bayonetta I'm dying to see more of is the Mitsumasa sculpted one. It's so amazing looking.
The Mihawk figure looks nice. I haven't started collecting any of the Shichibukai figures (except Hancock), but I plan on starting that collection next year.
I am a little crazy. I have watched the first 555 episodes of One Piece since starting my journey at the end of July, with a daily commitment to watching at least one episode whenever eating a meal at home. I have only skipped the seasonal specials and cross-promotional episodes.
I remember when I first saw a dubbed episode of One Piece years ago and thought it was stupid. Even the first few episodes had me skeptical and I was not a fan of the art style. As I continued to watch the series, the art eventually grew on me and I started to appreciate the show's mix of goofiness and feels.
In most shows and games with a group of good guys, I often dislike at least a couple of people in that group. With One Piece, I find myself liking all members of the Straw Hat Pirates thanks to their great back stories and character flaws. As a figure collector, I also love how One Piece has a vast collection of figures out there that features side characters.
I really should apply for the Amazon Visa.

I initially got it because it chopped $30 off the price of the Poison Ivy bishoujo. XD
If anyone wants the limited cleaning version of Levi and doesn't mind paying now, Crunchyroll has some in their store.

Also Super Sonico [Alter] on HS:
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10249972
8,280 yen isn't a bad price, and it is being released in April [hah, more like the end of 2014 knowing Alter] but I'm not going to pre-order her right away.

Got a bit of slack from a girl I'm dating about dizzy and woody pre orders so I cancelled them :'(. Woody I can sort of understand, because that face is the stuff that nightmares are made out of.... but Dizzy isn't even that bad aside from that shameless backside that would be covered by the wall behind her anyways
...and yet I am allowed Tharja. I don't understand women

1 hour later.
Reports of a gamer John Smith, committed suicide on Halloween. Upon some research, his friends talked about his obsession with demons and evils. His last words was the name of a demon collecting game "Persona", in which the players committed suicide to summon demons.

Neat, but I'm risking having anything that looks remotely like a gun in this day and age.

Couple pics I took recently:
Solange was a recent pick-up. Bought to have that Nishimura swag in figurine form, rather than because of Code of Princess. It's the manufacturer's first figure, which is pretty impressive to me. The sculpt is right on with the artwork it's based on and there are relatively few manufacturing errors. She's large and the details are all cleanly painted. The belt is kind of a nightmare to position, and relies on friction to stay in place, but now that it's there it seems like it won't slip. My picture doesn't show it, but there's a diorama stone base that's made well, sturdy and makes a nice change from plastic circles, even if it does make her quite tall. It seems to be a trend with figures I like, but she takes up a fair amount of space because of the angle her sword is at and how far back the material around her waist trails(although you can leave that off if you want), so that's worth keeping in mind. Overall I'm happy with the figure and thought it was worth a few words because the company is new and previously unproven. There's a black/red colour variant with ash toned hair that's nice as well, but I went OG to match the artwork.
Oh, and that sword is fucking crazy.

I still haven't ordered a single AoT figure. I'm waiting until GSC starts putting out the scaled figures.
