Saber Dress Ver., Naoe Kanetsugu, Amane Suzuha, and KOS-MOS have all been delayed to "After August".

At least that lessens the burden on July somewhat, but adds to the cost of the following months. -_-

Wow, how was it so cheap? What did you pick?

EDIT: Damnit, she sold out :( Knew I should have ordered it earlier.

I always go unregistered sal. I've never had a problem and it leaves more money for figures. Though I'll be doing ems for any December orders since the holidays are awful for sal.

If you set up an alert on figinstock there's a really good chance you'll be able to grab her in a week or so after people don't pay for theirs and more become available.

Gorgeous figure. If you don't have her already, definitely pick one up.

I agree 100%.

She, as well as Samurai, are absolutely flawless. Max Factory's 7th Dragon 2020 line is incredible. I'm looking forward to Hatsune Miku [hopefully we see her painted at Wonderfes with a 2014 release date, I can't afford anything more in 2013... -_-].

I really like the different expressions this character has.
Any details on the figures or their origin series (anime, manga)?
Click to expand...

Little late but the series is Steins;Gate.
based on a vn, was great as an anime.

That character is the main character, probably one of the best protagonist in anime.

I missed her initially too, then got her on a figinstock alert. I've gotten about 5 more restock notices since then, so yeah, keep watching.

o man I almost wanted to splurge just now. I wanted to get panty/stocking but I guess i'll wait for orchid seeds panty. I don't really like alter's stocking due to the hair paint.

I still want append miku but I'm trying to wait for the 7th dragon version.

I want some of the strike witches and Hyakka ones as well. But I think i'll wait for a re-release. Got the new jubei PO from NY so that should hold me over.

On top of this sudden urge to get ultimate madoka as well. =X

So many figures that are coming out. Its daunting.

I've got Alter Stocking. Mine hasn't got the paint issues, but I dunno, it's not one of my favourites. Wish she had her sword or some kind of prop to be honest. The sculpt is good though and the clear PVC part of her dress is nice with light through it.

Also watching Strike Witches season 1 right now. It's a lot better than I expected it to be. Perrine is the best character so far. Not sure if I would buy any figures yet but Perrine does have glasses. Can't have too many girls with glasses :p

Waaaaaaaah! That Bodacious Space Pirates Marika is an exclusive.

what I'm curious about, is what the final version will look like. Is that foot just going to be hanging there? Or will it have some awesome prop to support her? I'd be disappointed if it's just a transparent support pole. Probably be a deal-breaker.

Price may be a deal-breaker anyway.

Marika [Bodacious Space Pirates] does look look very nice, but I'm passing.

I meant what I said earlier, no more figures pre-orders this year for me [unless a Seven Deadly Sins goes up for pre-order].

Maybe if one is unveiled and scheduled for sometime in 2014 I might pre-order them, but for 2013 I'm done [once I pre-order Lab Coat Kurisu from GSC].

Found a new figure I want!

Velvet Batrass. She's the one sitting on the treasure chest. Similar pose to Fiona, and she's sitting on something relevant to her theme instead of just crates!

The real news is the new Alisa. I think it might be better than the first one.

There is that, yes. I almost bought the first one (post-release) but didn't feel like paying over $100 for her. Thise one looks nice, though. Is this the same company that made the first one or no?

remember me
Plum did the first one. The new one is Alphamax.


I got the first one after mandarake for 5k yen before the price started increasing. Hoping I can grab Kanon cheaply too.
