I can't resist a good chocolate elf.
Worst part about that purchase? It's just the beginning.
So weak.

Great choice though, now I get to sit back and watch if you fall down the same path I did about 3 months ago.
Dare I ask?

Started with one now I have 7 and a few preordered. That is not counting Nendoroids
So weak.
This was the starting point for me.
The first figure I bought was from Akihabara when I went to Japan, bought it as I thought I would never come to Akihabara again.
Then I saw this, and preordered a figure for the first time in the internet.
And after that I have been clicking preorder after preorder...and even started to buy used figures...
I really need to stop but I just can't!!! My mouse is hovering around EX-Alleyne preorder page.

I've said it before, as a public service, Amiami and others need to start taking cash up front.

Haha...I would hate that but honestly it would be for the best. They know what they are doing though.

The new Berserk Figmas have been terrible. The first Gatsu and Griffith figures were of at least acceptable quality. After these last two, I'm pretty much done buying them.
I was never a fan of Figmas in general but their quality had been improving and the Nintendo branded ones in particular have been quite good.
Yup, it's perfect

some people complain of QC, but mine has no issues.
anyone have any experience with this site? They tweeted the link to me and it looks legit but I dont even know if US residents can buy from it.

They only deliver in the EU and Switzerland.
Ok. I figured as such but just wanted to make sure.
I second this so hard. One of my favorites. She looks stunning.
Hmmm. This is highly unusual for Alter. Typically you get extremely good quality from Alter. wonder if this was stored in a warehouse in the heat for a while?
My Alter Kanna for example is flawless. Just a gorgeous sculpt and paint.

Welcome, brother.
Are you talking about Alleyne? I really wouldn't consider her lewd. Native figures are lewd, as are some of Orchid Seed's other pieces. But scantily-clad doesn't automatically = lewd.
Are you saying lewd figures can't be cute? Blasphemy!
Don't get another Alleyne, get Arshes Nei. Then after that buy another Alleyne.

I already have Arshes Nei. She's amazing. Can't wait to have Alleyne and Arshes Nei on the same shelf with my other 1/6 figures. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee.
Between Arshes, the new Alleyne and Echidna, I'm going to have a chocolate elf shelf soon enough.
As always quality control varies from figure-to-figure, but as a whole, Orchid Seed are generally great with that.
On the subject of Alleyne, yes...she's perfect.
You need a Sansai Muramasa figure too [preferably the one from Max Factory].
I would already own her if she weren't so expensive. Maybe I'll grab that one from wing if the quality is good.

Now every time you visit amazon to buy some toilet paper, they going to recommend you a bunch of figure you can't resist.
I think I going to start buy figure from amazon more, the 3% from the amazon credit card, faster shipping, and no surprise shipping cost.
Yeah, that one looks fine, although obviously not as nice as the one from MF. You could also wait for the Swimsuit Ver. from Amakuni. The sculpt already looks amazing, and would look nice standing alongside Alleyne. She will be an exclusive, but that will not stop me.
I'm throwing money at my tablet, but nothing happens. I'll have to keep an eye on her.

I don't know. I almost bought the MF one a few times in the past, but stopped short of pulling the trigger. I think what bothers me is that the face has this look like it's just painted on. And while I would usually agree to go MF over Wing.... Dear lord, dat ass.... The Wing version is cast-off, and.... dat hometown.... Amazing.
I generally can't turn down any good dark skinned figure. I own the megahouse irma even though her character is astonishly boring in the show. It's why I like Arshes so much. She's proof that there doesn't need to be a life/hometown debate, both is the correct answer. It hurts me so deep that figures like that are so unusual.
Really? One of my favorite things about the MF version is her face. I love it.
As for the cast-off options, Wing definitely wins in that field, although the version from Amakuni will also be cast-off. The only way to truly win is to purchase all three.
That will likely be me. ;_;
Seeing how far Irma's price dropped is depressing. I don't regret the purchase, though.
I only paid about 1500 JPY above the current prices to get her. Absolutely worth it IMO.

Who is she? I only got about 8 episodes into Queen's Blade on account of it being one of the most awful things I've ever tried to watch.

Hey, Chrono.... Since you have her ordered, too - Do you know if Range Murata's Muse from Alter is getting delayed? I'm assuming so because Alter, but I'd like to have her sooner rather than later.
She's an assassin of the fang that was trained by Echidna. None of the plot of QB really matters outside bouncing breasts and ass.
I mean,the whole show is a farce because
Leina wins but doesn't take the crown.
