oh man, this is rad as fuck but super-pricey. Hello new figure-prices.





Bah, remember Raven? She'll probably get delayed even more.

the previous Neptunia figure i got has such a better face. this face looks kinda crappy and the price is beyond ridiculous.

this is the one i have:

Going to have to disagree with you on that one having a better face.

But the price truly is absurd.

I already own or have ordered 3 other Yamato 2199 figures and have a big shipment pending for this month anyway, so at that price, I really can't not buy it...

Eh, honestly, she's not the most exciting figure in the world to look at. At that price though, I totally would except this is exactly the kind of shit I'm trying to stop. So I say unto thee nay!

Besides, Wonfest. We'll all be lamenting our spending forecasts soon enough.

Man, those Star Trek Playarts Kai AHAHAHAHAHA.

I think I prefer her without the glasses.

Bonus : the ecchi version. NSFW obviously. I thought it was cast-off but it's simply a different torso. The tiny skirt slides off the lower section. She's quite..uhh..detailed. I will display her clothed, of course. But I wanted to see what she looked like once.

You're in luck, looks like its being sold separately.

Mario comes with 1 coin and a few other things for 2,500 JPY
and then there are 2 diorama packs for 2,000 JPY.

Lucky! Shame they have May release. I'll actually be in Japan late March/early April so it would have been nice to pick them up in person. Well I'll just look out for some non figurine based merch while I'm over there.

Also realise this removes any reason to look into an weird looking Luigi Nendo. Still ook forward to seeing the WW Link Nendo though.

Damnit, I got it for double that thinking the sale would've run out by this point. My intuition sucks.

Yeah I very rarely like these "young, cutesy" anime girl figures but this for some reason got to me.
Maybe they overproduced? Like with that happened with that big GSC Madoka figure.

Ah, awesome! I'll just wait for a potential Mario nendoroid to add to the set then.

So at the start of the month my Mio Sakamoto figure got delayed indefinitely. To my shock, Amiami sent me an update that it would be ready end of the month. They then sent me a payment request and I gladly gave them my money. Wake up this morning to a refund, the figures still aren't ready, status returned to indefinite.
Stop playing with my heart!

That Yamato Girls fig is nice but I don't want to open the floodgates of random cute anime figs in my collection.

Basically no chance that the upcoming figs in the series will do the same, right?

Doubtful. Melda already sold the fuck out. I think it was just the boring yellow jumpsuit that did in this one.

figs on the bottom shelf of a detolf get no love, being away from eye level. I thought of boosting mine with something but I don't think it's worth the effort.

I assume you lay it on its side. I wonder what's the maximum number of detolfs you can put on it before it breaks.

But if you put on one of these shelves johnsmith posted, the figs on the top shelf get no love. Dilemmas, dilemmas...

Mine are currently just on the ground. Eventually they will get EXPEDIT base units, but right now I really don't want to expend the effort to clear them out and figure out how to move it on top (which is probably not a 1-man job).

I'm just as captivated by her massive feet as I am the rest of that figure.

I watched a couple of episode of High School DxD randomly one day and I never understood why they just didn't make it a full on hentai. It was clear as day that's where they wanted to take the show.

So I got a huge box today, wasn't expecting her to be so big.

Wow, I've never seen that one before. According to the MFC listing she's over 13" tall? (!!!)

You know what they say about women with big feet...


In other news... I like that Yaya figure from Kotobukiya, even though the face is way off. But 8.6k? Fuck that shit. Kotobukiya is suddenly thinking they're MegaHouse, who thinks they're releasing some God-tier shit. Fuck these prices.

And here's something surprising.... Yet another Sansei Muramasa figure... this one from WING.

I don't mean to complain, since I like choices and I won't pay exorbitant prices for the Max Factory version.... but WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY ALL COMING FROM!?

God damn...I was going to purchase Iris but decided to sleep on it first...

Found a letter from the federal Tax Department when I woke up...Apparently I forgot to pay my 2011 bill. No more new figures for me for a while :|

Amazon. There's a French shop selling her for 129€. Not cheap, but it's already in the EU so no taxes to pay over.

Nah, I'm probably going to cancel my Benten order from N-Y, fuck that shit. You know how much cool non-figure stuff you can buy for $200? If the prices for regular figures go up by that much, I'll be cutting down quite a bit.

Yes yes man, join the darkside, become a minion of the LegoForce! you can get awesome expensive LEGO sets for that price :D

I own 1 and it was a mistake, I plan on ebaying it as soon as I finish moving. The other figure I am selling is not griffon but company accidentally sent me the wrong item so I have 2 of them. Its Koto's Vash the Stampede and its never been opened.

decided to email plamoya about my heather figure and they tell me that she won't be in stock until march 26th. so not only did my preorder mean nothing but they charged me for it upfront. I'm never ordering from them again.

I actually own one Griffon cold cast statue I got a few years ago. Not sure if their quality went down these days but the statue i have actually looks great and looks just like the figure on the box.

Another Dangan Ronpa figure

8,060 yen for 1/10 and only 150 mm tall? Lol ok good luck with that. These guys did Solange, but that was a masterpiece, this doesn't look anywhere close as good.
Click to expand...

Wow, 1/10? Where did that come from? The only 1/10 stuff I'm familiar with are figmas and those Marvel / DC Comics ArtFX+ statues that Koto puts out.
