Ikea.com has the black DETOLFs in stock, not available at any of my local stores, though. Shipping kills it, I checked for 2 and 3 shelfs, $129. Hopefully this is a sign that stock is trickling in

What is she? Another Rage of Bahamut figure? Glad I ordered Olivia, and I would have bought Dark General if she wasn't exclusive, but fuck having dogs for hands. Yeah, Cerberus, the 3-headed canine who guards the gates of Hades. I get it, ha ha.
Yeah, she has the same eyes as Olivia, so I suspect Rage of Bahamut.

Well after some hard thinking over a 3 way tie I decided to order Saber Lily.
Found a decent price and just can't pass that version up especially after having already owned the classic version. Too bad she only includes Caliburn but I already have both from my broken saber anyway

That is one sharp looking figma.

Does Alter/Altair do a similar list?
If you missed out on the Mafex Spider-Man like I did (grumble... never saw it restock either), you can finally put away the hankerchief cause they are releasing a new ASM2 version, which you may or may not prefer:
The figure will include a figure stand an web shooting effects pieces. It stands about 16CM (just over 6″
tall. It’s due out in September and will sell for 3,990 Yen (about $38 USD).
Now, many of us recently received the new Figma Spidey, but if you watch a lot of reviews comparing the figma to the mafex, a lot of reviewers prefer the mafex. I think I'll be getting one of these. The Mafex will be a bit taller, which while not major does kinda suck. Spider-Man is not over 6" tall so the figure is not really a true 1/12. TECHNICALLY he should be 5'10"
I know the joints are not everyone's thing but you really want this in a Spidey figure so you can maximize the possibilities for ridiculous and awesome spidery poses.

They do. There's a shipping guide that lists things that have solid release dates. I don't think they announce delays publicly, but they have Alter and Altair schedule pages that seem to reflect the delays.
This month is UtaPri reprints and Saber Alter so far.
Thanks!
....looks like Zelos has been officially delayed. Sigh... Just waiting for the AmiAmi confirmation now.

That reminds me,
saw new pics of RAH Chun-li and Cammy.
Chun-li looks great definitely buying. Cammy's face is nice but the body looks awful.

You could technically buy for the head and get a better body for her.

I kinda like the dog puppets on the Cerberus. They add character -makes for a very unique figure.
Then again I think I was the only one here that liked The False Songstress so maybe I'm too hipster for yall.

Ugh! I like her for being unique, even though those dog/hand puppets are a little..."strange". It does add to her uniqueness, though.I like the handy infographic that depicts some of the ways you can hug your new centaur pillow girlfriend. You'd think the first one would be the funniest, given that it's riding, but it's the third with its casual wine drinking pose that got me.

MF painted Cerberus:

Pre-orders are tomorrow. The sculpt is impressive as hell, and the paint is nice, but I can't deal with the silly hand puppets.
I'm going back and forth between pre-ordering her or not. Do I really need someone like her in my collection? If she sells out quickly I'd hate to pay the aftermarket prices, since this is Max Factory so it'll never get a re-release.
I'll decide by tonight, I guess.
buy her while you can. Alter made another cute masterpiece again.
Freezasaurus
Member
I bought her. Only thing I don't like about her is that her base is a bit wobbly. She's better suited to low shelves or something very sturdy that doesn't vibrate when you walk by. Of course, I don't imagine this is an issue with ground-floor rooms. I'd move the detolfs downstars, but I don't want to move those things. Nightmare fuel.
InfiniteBento

How much did you buy her for? And where'd you buy her through?
I want to know what my pricing options are for her before I commit to this cutie.
Freezasaurus
Member
She seems to be cheapest at AmiAmi. She's not cheap, though. You're going to end up spending about $100 after shipping.
This is true, but worth every cent.
I still can't believe the lines on her leggings are painted and not a decal. They have some master artists working there at Alter...
Razgriz-Specter

Yeah but for that price it should be alot better

Its the tights/legs that really kills it for her.
They work well for Chun-li though.
InfiniteBento

That's not too bad.
I was planning on ordering a few things from AmiAmi so I can add her to my list.
I need opinions ! I'm torn between these Kuroneko's:
I really love the first one but all of them are great.
I'm torn on which to choose ;___;

When in doubt, Goth Kuroneko is best Kuroneko.
DeadRockstar
Member
That third Kuroneko looks dangerously like a Griffon figure, so not that one.
For real. Those skin-tights are quite bad. It's painfully obvious the green camo paint on her legs is just dye on fabric lol

Ha ha, wow, good eye. It IS a Griffon figure. The other two are from Koto.

Thanks for the heads up ! I didn't realize.
I love goth Kuroneko but I also really love the sweet lolita.
Maybe I'll shit out the funds and just get both. They're too adorable.

I see what they are going for but god Cammy isn't the best character to try that on.

Go for it. We're nothing here if not horrible enablers.
Yeah, well, there's no way I'll be enabled on that Cerberus.

I bet she gives the worst handjobs ever.
A little bit more information on Cerberus here:
http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2014/01/14/17th-scale-cerberus/
It's interesting to see that, despite her lower legs/feet not being visible in the original artwork, that they worked side-by-side with the illustrator responsible for it to make sure it was up to his liking/suited her appearance.
I think it convinced me to pre-order her. I can see why the hands might prove to be a stopping point for some, though. I personally don't have an issue with it.

Doggone it, you just had to go there, didn't you. Got to admit, the experience would be a tad ruff...
Okay, I'm done. I think I'll grab it, though, depending on release date. It's a cool figure and I appreciate the joke, such that it is.
Freezasaurus
Member
oh my god, you're such a pushover. XD Holy crap.... 12.7k JPY before discounts.
In other news, how is Wing? They have a Sansei Muramasa figure coming out, and I've always liked the Max Factory version of her, but now N-Y wants $150 for it. FFFFUUUUUUU
In other words, her handjob skills bite.
It's not specifically her hands, the figure simply doesn't appeal to me. It's not her fault, she's just drawn that way.
Well, to be fair, I was already 50/50, so it didn't take much to push me over the edge.
As for Wing, I don't own any figures from them, but from what I've seen they're pretty decent. I've been wanting a Sansei Muramasa in her more...regular clothes [although the Maid Ver. from Max Factory is amazing], so I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this one.

just finished nisemonogatari. Now I want a Karen figure but none are available at mandarake. Amiami is like 3k more expensive lol

Haha. I swear I have other, more useful skills than this.
You know, pidgeon-toed-is-cute trope aside, the thigh-highs and silver trim on the feet are probably my favourite part of that figure. Good job MF.
Niiiiiice! This one's miles better!
Maaaannn, WonFes is going to be depressing. Just spotted this awesome looking sculpt of Strider Hiryu which no one outside of JP will ever own: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/193321

I'm quite fond of her. She was an impulse buy, so I ended up paying the full $90-ish for her. But she's pretty great. The ridiculous base is what draws your attention to her, but the pose is a perfect depiction of her.
You gonna get Tsukihi as well?
