"Oi! Quit tracking mud in the house!"
SPEAKING OF FALLING APART...the head of that stupid Tron Sora PAK won't hold. The thing just plopped off one day when I shifted it a bit to the side of where it was standing, and I haven't been able to make it stick since then. Blaargh.
Hahaha yeah I remember this was my exact reaction when I received my first figma.
Though I've come to appreciate their size now, compared to Hot Toys they take up a lot less space so they're great to work with in numbers.
lmao

Hopefully. Supposedly she was entering QC about a week or two before her original release date last month. If she's still not done, they've got problems. Maybe 99, and the bitch IS one.
What was the date for her to go up on the GSC store?

Save up your change for Gintoki ;PI guess I'm just expecting to spend a bunch at AX in July for whatever reason.

Goes on Amiami to check out new figures etc... still not connected after 10mins, yep I think an One Piece figure is going up XD
I kind of wanted the Aki-Sora figure that got cancelled...what a shame
Sucks, but Megahouse's Aladdin is sold out, so we will probably be getting more scaled Magi figures from then in the future.

Yeah it kinda sucks for solo characters but they have so many full series it works perfectly for those.
Then you have stuff like the Eva figures who all include entry plug cockpits.

I need my money in case I find some crazy expensive thing there!
I'll just wait for it to go up and consider it then. Unless it sells out or something.

Throw away your feeling of preordering with commitment and order it with a website that allows easy cancellation =P
I finally found the Rei, which was the only one I needed to complete the set! I ended up walking into Madrake on a whim, hoping that they would have new stock. It's crazy how fast they rotate through stuff.
As luck would have it though, I'm finding it extremely difficult to put them all together - pretty much gave up!

Is that a GK?

was it combined with any other order? I thought about it but I couldn't really think of an excuse since it was combined with that month's order lol. And I didn't want to risk it since they didn't let me cancel normal melty.

Ah, I probably couldnt get away with it since I have 3 other items with that order lol.

Man, Cerberus Project keeps cranking these out. This is my favorite one since the original elin.
Very intresting
Hair and tail seem fine.
Any word on a price ?

Yeah, that's the standard email. They don't seem to alter it one way or another. Ever.
It's a garage kit, so chances of seeing it in PVC is slim to none. They did have 2 of their previous elins who were picked up by PVC makers but the 2nd was changed to a fucking school swimsuit version, so I'm afraid of what they'd do to this one if they picked it.
Freezasaurus
Member
Dude, if they had made that second one look the same as its GK, I would have bought it. School swimsuit.... it defies logic.
Naw, considering this is a sculptor that's had a lot of his work mass produced, and the previous Elin sold out, I'd put the odds at 50/50 at worst.
I'm still not convinced the swimsuit version isn't just a variant. We'll find out at wonfes for sure, I think.

What's in her eyes? Are those stars or flowers or what? Is it a plus sign? Do mathmatics get her hot and bothered?

missed that =/. Cheapest I've seen it. Thankfully there will be another version (master samurai version) by alter sometime in the future.

Seems like CR fucked up big with maiko madoka. A lot of unfulfilled orders and refunds...on an exclusive figure that is now going for 14-16k

Most Play Arts Kai figures are terrible, but I do like this:

For those who don't already know and are interested, black armour zero is available on amazon.com and other websites to purchase. As a Canadian it is not on amazon.ca or basically any other website so you will have to pay an import fee, but with taxes all in it was about 51 dollars. I already have type 2 zero with normal armour, so I don't know why i'm buying this exactly, but I wanted figure gaf to be proud of me

A reasonable price? I would totally buy her for one.
Oh shit. Sound like a shitstorm alright...

I caved on that Snow Miku nendo and ordered from N-Y before they sold out. It's going to be my only one though.
I didn't know they came with cockpits. I might actually grab these now, since they'd look more substantial in my display next to the larger figures. I don't know why I assumed the expensive Vertex sets were the only way to get an Eva cockpit.
No seriously, it will be.

They are pretty nice, the cockpit even has articulation.
also the standard figma base plugs into the cockpit so you can display it up in the air and such and not just sitting at the bottom of a shelf.
I plan on giving Mari's to a Muv-Luv girl when I get around to buying them.

Being able to raise them up is a nice touch. I had a quick look to see prices and they're totally fine as well. I need to get around to arranging my collection properly with risers and all that, so I can see where they might go. It's pretty haphazard right now.
Bought Misaki at 2500 yen in December, now it's 1500 yen. Someone give me 1000 yen so I'll feel less bad when I place an order for a 2nd one:

Oh yeah some pics of the Marika figure: link

At 1500 it's a goddamn steal. Added to this month's order.
There's a lot of figures that have been in stock for months, yet aren't as heavily discounted at this one is. Why can't the Devil Survivor 2 figures be as discounted as this one is....
jesus christ they're basically giving this thing away. must...resist....

Just received my first broken figure ordering used.
Saber Lily's ahoge was broken off in the box.
Other than that she is an absolutely gorgeous figure.
Though for a "special" figma she could have included something extra.

Welp, I figured what's going in my August order...
I don't even like dolls, but I can't pass up on these. It's pretty crazy and amazing to me that they're still making CCS merch over 13 years after the anime ended.
are those AZONE cuz they're gonna be pretty pricey. loved CCS but gonna pass on them. i have two AZONE dolls (Haruhi and Oreimo) still sealed. might just resell them.
