It's the eyes. In that outfit, she should have brown eyes, not all black.

It's because she has NO SOUL!
oh, guys! guys! I think I'm picking up my Maya Kumashiro tomorrow, who shipped in mid-December via SAL. XD
It's too early for my January shipment to be here already.
Y u so lazy. It would take literally 2 seconds to dust the top of a detolf, the only part that might get dusty.
Same as last time, dioders.

Some people complain about the yellow light, but I like it. There's nothing I hate more than harsh white light.
Am I a bad person for having no lights whatsoever on my Detolfs? I'm looking at the lights you posted and I'm not even sure how you'd install them. One strip per shelf?

Make sure whatever you buy doesn't give off heat. Don't wanna melt your figures!
Yeah, that would be enough. Dioders don't get warm at all, so they're really good for this. I would definitely recommend them. They make your figures just pop and look better.
Hahahah, never change, AmiAmiBlog. Never change. They're the best.
horny bastard
Is he always like that?
The GSC one? She's great. Nice catch!
I'm pretty sure they're doing those reviews like that on purpose. I loved how he switched to serious mode for 1 sentence then WHAM back to business!
Yep! She looked really good in the reviews, but I wasn't familiar with the show and she's a little plain. But for that price I just went for it.

o man sorry John =/
I was eyeballing that Rise. I was debating if I wanted that one or the MH one since they are the same price but that lack of nose in MH bothers me too much.

No, I'm glad somebody else got it, 1 figure was more than enough for tonight. Was it you? Definitely go with Alter's. Megahouse's version isn't worth it. Don't buy it.

I'm already halfway there! Just one fire sister to go!

most of the time? nothing.
Ironically all my damage figures (2) were marked A. The thing is, because they are unopened, they just guesstimate that things aren't broken or damaged.
A big start! I'm proud of you.

Congratulations! Nice choice.
Late February. Hopefully no more delays.

hmm apparently I can fit 2 figures into sal register. Amiami only charged me 1.5k for sal and 2.5k for EMS lol. Went with Sal because im in no rush for rise.
Did I goof?
Got my amiami payment confirmation for this month. Last month my CC charged me a fee for converting currency from USD -> JP so I said fuck that and changed the card on my order to a different one that won't do that. But now amiami said I have to wait for a new invoice, sigh. Their system sucks so much.
But it won't affect my order right? Mikasa is in this order and I really don't want to get bumped and have to wait for a future shipment or some junk. It said I have to wait for a new invoice during their business hours.
Grrrr...

This is nice. I like seeing figures that are high quality and that I also have no frame of reference for. It reminds me of a time before my wallet was dead and buried.
Got my payment request for Dizzy today. Am excited.

Any time I've made a change to an order that I already received a payment confirmation for (such as combining it with another order), it usually takes about 24 hours for them to send me a new invoice. (longer if it's the weekend)

She's alright looking, but at that price I think I'll pass for now.
same for me, she looks good, but a little costly
Probably tons of stuff. All the Megahouse Dragon's Crown stuff for one.
Question- I've been vacillating on whether or not to pick up Hot Toys Ada Wong. Like, I love the accessories, and think the figure is really detailed but I'm wondering if I don't do it now if it turns into a $600 Sheva situation. Any impressions?
Also, what's up with Gaming Heads statues? I like their Lara Croft, but I'm not sure how well it's built.
Forever lurking, and praying one day we see Bishoujos of DOA & Soul Calibur fighters :/

As much as I'd love that, I hope we don't. I'd go broke so fast.

I think they're pretty content with what they have now, though I get the impression the Mass Effect line isn't long for this world (and it's a bit redundant when they have a bishoujo Star Wars series anyhow). They might kill it after the next ME bishoujo figure.
What was the size of the boxes, I will be getting like 3 of those and one of the combo ones next weekend for my Lego sets. Need to know if I have to borrow my parents SUV or if I can get it in my Focus. also getting a bunch of linnmon tables to build my city display on.
EDIT: also what are the size of billy's, I think I may go for a billy/detolf combo as I have different areas that would suit one over the other.
EDIT2: NM finally found the package sizes on the website, never been to Ikea before or used their site so I didn't find the info right away
I actually pre-ordered Elf yesterday! I also pre-ordered the two new Seven Sins.
OH! Yukihime finally was released. I checked on MFC and I paid for her through Tokyo-Hunter In August of 2012. Just got my shipping invoice a couple days ago.
Bishoujo DoA figs should be a thing that exists :'(

There were actually Kasumi and Ayane Yamashita Shuna figures several years ago. I have this one: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/556
I'd just settle for some good quality, DoA figures period (not counting the swimsuit DOAX line. Swimsuit figures don't count).

Same here. I have this one, which looks better in person, but could be nicer.
I'd really like some Soul Calibur figures though, especially a Hilde figure.

I like Miku figures but this one, somehow did not interested me. Her face is something that I didn't like.
Ikea lists the sizes of the packages on their website
Package measurement and weight
Width: 15 3/8" (39 cm)
Height: 3 7/8" (10 cm)
Length: 78 3/4" (200 cm)
Weight: 60lb (27.4 kg)
I fit 2 of them in my Mazda 3 hatchback.

Haha I had those kasumi pieces too back before i even knew who shunya yamashita was. They were nice but I sold them to buy a textbook for school a month after I bought them. Im a bit surprised they are still cheap on ebay after all these years considering how ridiculously overpriced some of shunyas other old pieces have become.
They are also one of the better kasumi figures and imo the best available atm. I hate the bent over one and I agree that swimsuit ones dont count.
