tempted.... It would finish my collection of hyakka samurai butttt I have a feeling she will get a master samurai version
So far 1 of the 4 dark samurai is sculpted, and 1 of the old cast has a master samurai version coming (matabei). Which means only 1 (hanzo) is left without a master samurai figure.
....tempted to get the OG but it cost a ton, but I probably will wait for alter to make a master samurai version. Makes no sense to leave one of the members out.
edit
I'm retarded. Naoe doesn't have one either. BLEHHHH maybe i do have to get the OG.
2nd edit
EMS only so yeah... fuck that. Not emsing one figure lol. especially if its not something I really need to have. I'll just wait for alter's master samurai version if they ever make one.
Indeed.

Finally got Bome Nono!.I like her hair as you can see
It cost me 99p
Nice! The hair is the best part of this fig by far
Not as bad as that one time

I bought all 5 GSC ones and then Ultimate Madoka. There better be a
demon homura
Figmas, not sure.
Scale figures, yes but it will be Aniplex+ exclusive. They have a US store now though.

Yep I was planning to get Sayaka, Mami, Kyōko, and hopefully
demon homura
yep, his work is fantastic. If you're all at into Catherine I highly recommend tracking that one down, it's great. Also Nuclear Fusion Rin Kagamine is awesome. Tharja too, of course.

Want that as well, no telling on the figma side though their character selection is all over the place. Though that is one that I would take any version of.
probably going to skip the school uniform versions.

I have to say, I can't really recommend the Ultimate Madoka figma. It has got to be the most finnicky figma I've ever dealt with, and I have quite a few. She's so heavy that her stand doesn't work very well, and a piece of her hair actually broke when I was trying to put her parts together (it was a seam break and easy fix, but still).
I love the others, though.

I like my GEM Naruto this year, so many parts and faces and hands, and good pose. Sasuke I didnt like because it has way less than Naruto.
I guess I judge this line by how much it comes with.

Yeah GEM series are weird, at times their are tons of accessories and sometimes none, but they are primarily good figures imo, depending on what the figure is based on can probably get some cheap XD
So yeah they're good.

Great display!
Alright, cool. I might preoder but I think I may wait to see if I can get it a bit cheaper, thanks.

figma in general just became too finnicky for me, and I've all but stopped collecting them on account of that.

My figma eren and nendo eren finally shipped from goodsmileonline, but i wish they had combined them in the same order as it seems a waste to make two different shipments on the same day...
Anyway my first nendo and figma, curious how they look in real life.

I've gotten used to most of their quirks, but yeah I get what you mean. I thought I was done with figmas, too, after Kirito and Asuna, but then I watched AoT and had to amend that. Those characters were really made for figmas.
As far as finicky is concerned, the Revoltech Skeleton from Jason and the Argonauts is really difficult to get it to hold a pose. They look cool though, and I should use some supports to display it properly.
Other than that I also have the large, transforming Escaflowne Guymelef which has the tendency to fall apart - http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2004/escaflowne_guymelef

Not (re)buying the first set since they just released the original version of it earlier this year. At least not for two recolors of the characters.
I uh, think already ordered that third set. Maybe? I know I ordered some upcoming BASARA set, lol.
I am sorry to single out a gender. Surely a changed woman is also a guarantee.
With time you will give in.
Oh yes...
Shining Wizard has done:
Sansai Muramasa:
Catherine:
Zero Suit Samus:
Elf:
Tharja:
Samurai:
Hacker:
7th Dragon 2020 Hatsune Miku:
Psychic [not yet released, but looks amazing]:
He's done some other releases too, but these are his most impressive works [in my opinion].
As you can see, he is quite-skilled. There's a reason why he's recommended by so many collector's, myself included.

Thanks,
Seems awesome that Sayaka and Mami figma come with 8 swords and rifles.
I expected maybe 2 each.

Didn't he also do Elsie which is fantastic as well.

She's the only SW figure I own beside Thajra. I want Catherine, but screw that price.

What is Samurai from?
Samurai, Hacker, Psychic and Miku are from 7th Dragon 2020, a videogame. (Miku sings the opening song)
Finished Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere. I ended up liking it very much. Shame the anime ended so fast, just as things got good.
Will definitely grab Kazuno and Tomo later this year (Kazuno came out a while ago and is still being sold, and Tomo will probably be the same since she's crazy expensive). The latter's Life reminds me I also have to try to fit Meiko Shiraki in the 2nd half of 2014 budget somehow.

catherine was going for like 6-7k for the LONGEST time.
The only problem with her is the yellow they used for her hair. Its kinda green tint yellow

Yeah, I didn't mention her, but she's another nice figure. I don't own her, though.Didn't he also do Elsie which is fantastic as well.

I'm still trying to track down Catherine for a decent price. :/

I always had a problem with her face. It looked too hawkish and elongated. The source art always has her face looking very flat, and round, and sort of heart-shaped. It didn't translate to 3D well.
Damn. She's like 10k+ now.
Yeah, I'm also bothered about Catherine's face. I would had jumped on her otherwise, I loved the game.
I'm going to end up with quite a collection of girls with giant weapons at this rate. Kazuno's concrete swords look wicked and Tomo has nothing to envy in the BIG

You can love it. It just doesn't look very much like the source artwork.
Again, crazy. It looks exactly like her.

I'm inclined to agree for the most part. It's not spot-on, but it's damn close.
Me too. Hopeless feat so far.
agreed, she's amazing. I was trying for the hardest time to get her via figinstock and obsessively checking mandarake with no luck. Managed to snag her on MFC and not get scammed.

Bought a used figure from AmiAmi, because I thought I might as well get something along with the Xenosaga perfect works reprint.
The thing is still completely sealed and is a hassle to open up lol.

Unless the figure was in A/B condition, I'm relatively sure that they do some resealing work on their pre-owned items with tape and plastic sheets.
tomoooo
Oh, not a problem! I wasn't offended, but since I'm turning into a bit of a regular here I just thought I'd correct you
Jeeze I could really see myself collecting those 7th Dragon figs. I haven't even played the games yet but I've always loved the designs
