Man, I kinda want this.

FigureGAF, am I a pedo?

According to some of the threads in Gaming Discussion, anything without ginormous boobs makes you a pedo. Unfortunately, anything with ginormous boobs makes you sexist pig. If you like pigs--with or without boobs--then you're a furry and the internet's whipping boy.

Sigh.

Anyone know when GSC is releasing Tsukihi Araragi?

Should be this month, but GSC loves delaying things.

I REALLY want to get her, but unfortunately I have 7 figures currently pre-ordered scheduled for release between now and the end of December, and I simply can't add any more to that. I'm praying she'll still be available into early January so I can get her then.
 
So apparently pre-orders for Elf and Morgiana [Megahouse] open on the 11th. I'm tempted by Elf, but I'm not entirely sold on her yet. Pre-orders will also open for Uchiha Sasuke and Marco [One Piece].

Any word on price or color variations? I like the original color but some of the other elf colors are bretty gud. Also lol at the love is war miku. I thought it was 42 dollars and then I did the math. ..

No, you're not. The figure simply has a flat chest, there's nothing wrong with that. She's not presented to be physically young or anything, she just has a slender body. Many Japanese females, or women in general, have this same physique. There's nothing wrong with liking it, IMO.

As for the figure itself, it's a pass for me.

Nothing yet, although considering that this is Megahouse, expect many...MANY variations. It doesn't help that the game itself had several different color schemes for the characters to choose from. >_<

I'd like to say that the price would be around 7k yen, but Megahouse have been pricing their figures a lot higher than they used to [not just them specifically a lot of manufacturers]. Given the popularity of Dragon's Crown, it wouldn't surprise me if they were at/near the 10,000 yen price [before store discounts]. :(

I might be down on this one don't like the Kai or Revoltech figures. Why can't we get a snake statue instead of the other stuff? I don't' get it MGSV better get one if Rising gets Raiden.
 
Should be this month. Unless she gets delayed. I had to cancel her. Too much other stuff coming out. :(

I really wanted the alternate color, but I didn't preorder her back then, however I still manage to get the regular version. Her and iron man are my only order for December..after I spend money on Black Friday..Christmas present, computer plus, ultimate madoka, Elizabeth..all put a massive dent in my wallet :/

The highest I'm willing to go for a fig is $200 and that's only for franchises I really love. MGR fits that bill.
 
Don't know what my figure expenses are going to look like in May, so I ordered Billy the Kid from HLJ. That way, I can cancel if need be. But boy is she a cutie.

I would love to get some of the figs on Sideshow Collectibles, but holy crap those prices. I really want their Pacific Rim line and upcoming Deadpool though. So tempting....

Hulk is all "Puny boxes."

I'm going to take HobbySearch on the refund option. I'll happily reinvest that money into figure makers actually worth a damn. I'll patch Kei up with some superglue once I come up with a decent pose for her and that will be it.
 
If peeps still love Capcom's blue bomber:

Later this month, the 25th anniversary Mega Man statue is being reissued through Big Bad Toystore and Entertainment Earth for $124.99. No telling how long pre-orders will last so if you missed out the first time, now might be a good idea to reserve yours.

For the uninitiated, the 10-inch statue features USB-powered LED lights on the base, helmet, and Mega Buster. Each one from the Capcom Store were individually numbered as part of its "limited availability." We don't know how limited this reprint is, though. Can't say if these will have numbers or not.

Hmmmm those are some sexy shippers.

I may have also acquired a Hulk only a few hours ago. Added to my pile of brown boxes too, so they are in good company. I need some new cabinets to display them in all their glory. I dont know how it happened but I got addicted to Hot Toys, always swore they were too rich for my blood too, but then I am weak minded...

Do you buy them from anywhere in particular? Ive dabbled in preordering from HK, but have settled with a local UK based retailer who are fecking awesome and look after me really well.

it gets easy after the first one, I remember when I couldn't even imagine owing a Hot Toy but as soon as I bought the first one I had to have more. Their flex-pay system is perfect for me. I can't imagine paying $250 or $300 all at once but I hardly notice $50 payments once a month
 
So tfaw doesn't allow cancelations of preorders. I won't ever be preordering from them again.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's mentioned in their FAQ. I could have told you that, I used to buy a bunch of my comic stuff from them. What usually keeps me from ordering statues and the like from them is the $30 in shipping they like to tack on to items like that.
 
Play Arts Kai prices are getting out of control, especially since the quality (and its debatable) has only slightly improved with joints, face paint, etc.

$99! Is BBTS just ripping me off? are these cheaper elsewhere?

Guess I'll stick with my MGS1 and Peacewalker Snake

I emailed them and got them to cancel it with a sob story, but yeah, never again.
 
Dam that raiden looks dope. I've been wanting a raiden or a detailed cyborg ninja/grey Fox statue for so long but all we really got was low quality stuff or play arts figures.

What scale is that raiden?
 
The answer to both of these questions is always yes. BBTS always has terrible prices.

99 times out of 100, sure. I mean, they want $110 for that $60 Aladdin figure MegaHouse is releasing this month!

But I ordered Koto's 1/6 ArtFX Batman from them for $90 + $12 shipping. It would have been way more than that to have shipped from Japan. It's going for $150 on Amazon.

Only Sideshowtoys gets the exclusives from what I know for NA at least. So you should buy there if you want those. They have a thing with Hot Toys.

7,800 yen, or $76.50

Well, to be fair, $99.99 is the US MSRP from their press release that I read on IGN.

They tend to price according to their distributors. For example, all their Hot Toys are the same price as others or lower. Never higher. Anything they usually have to import tends to be higher which is why their Japanese figures are almost always very high. They're known for their US figures more than imports anyway.
