I got my first scaled figure in the mail today from Mandarake. 1/8 Nessa from GSC. She is a beauty and my awful picture taking skills don't do her justice.
I was absolutely floored by the detail in her sculpture and her paint. I don't know if my next figure will be able to top Nessa.
Any one else remember their first scaled figure? Is it still your favorite?
Congrats! What a cutie~
As for myself I've only gotten one scaled figure:
Rita Mordio (Tales of Vesperia) 1/8th from Alter
She was my favorite for a little bit, but has since been trumped by my current favorite non-Trading figure:
Not my pics because I've left my Miyako Nendo unopened thus far!
Miyako (Hidamari Sketch) Nendoroid from GSC
I enjoy both of their characters, but love Miyako much more. Additionally, my desire for a nendoroid of the goofy penniless genki was far greater than my want for a Rita figure (as much as I like it). In fact, my sister recently convinced me to keep the Rita figure when I thought of selling it.
However, with this new figure I'm looking at on the horizon (hopefully one of my last for real this time!), the crown is up for grabs for what may be forever:
Minase Iori (The Idolm@ster) 1/8th from Phat Company
I dont even like Iori that much but that figure is so squee.

This one is better than Koto's. Who's the sculptor?

She wasn't too bad getting her pre-owned on Mandarake. The newer stuff i have pre-ordered, like Alter's 1/7 Asuka, is twice her price! D: Figures are crazy expensive right? i wish I collected earlier when things were less.
Wow that Minase Lori is wonderful. I really love gravity defying figures. The movement in her hair is awesome!
Kami-sama, with some help from some plastic surgeons.

theres heavy seams on the top thoooo
Not interested in this at all but it got me insanely curious...is it common for figures to be in half steps (1/5.5 rather than 1/5 or 1/6)?

As they get larger, it seems to be more common b/c the larger the scale, the more effect a half-step has.
just realized I might~
that does make sense, I guess I was just so surprised at see a .5 that I wasn't thinking straight
why does she have so many milk bottles who drinks that much milk
Rather disappointing there was never a Yuuko nendo. I would have bought one.
Milk does a body good. In this case, a lot of good.
how else do you think they got so big?

Those aren't milk bottles; they're sake bottles.

Maybe I could squint at a Mako nendoroid.
But King DTL, "NSFWallet" includes all genders and creatures!
Let's be real, this has become a thinly veiled waifu thread.

Ehhh, give your snapping some credit! I'm no photographer myself but the picture's still really nice on the eyes.
My first scale was some stone figure of Cruella De Vil. It's not my favorite but I still love it a great deal. This is it: http://www.disneystore.com/wdcc-cru...retched-figurine/mp/1200184/1000276/#longDesc
With Marvel already in on it, I'm patiently awaiting the day Koto decides to have a crack at Disney scales.

Voted for NSFWallet as the next thread title.
I find it hilarious that most of the wallet destroying threads on GAF are not on gaming side, no, they're in OT community instead.

Ugh. The pricing on the KanColle figures is nuts. I'm interested in buying one of the Wo class figures, though.
Hahahaha, fuck that. Let me remove it from my wanted list.

119.90 Inc.Tax. so equivalent of $163/£96

http://www.tsume-a*******/en/product/vega-hqf Strange official site is banned...are they a problem site?
yea, they're overpriced like hell.
Ironically, the Shimakaze I prefer is also the cheapest one available [around 9,000 yen] and also an exclusive [the one from Amakuni]. It's kind of insane how the regular/standard editions cost so much more than something that's exclusive.
Oh well, it worked out for the best for me this time!
one of these does not belong
If you like Persona 4 at all, that Izanagi is a great figure. Would highly recommend.
wow, Figuarts aren't popular at all eh?

Wow at first I thought someone just put the legs there.
Well this is an interesting predicament I'm in. I apparently preordered a Houki Shinonono AGP figure a long time ago, and forgot about it. Then I preordered another one from amiami a few months ago, and both just came in.
So now I have two... and no place to display both of them.

New image of Alleyne EX Color Ver.
Damn it, Orchid Seed! I already own the original version, and now I'm tempted by this one. Why do you do this to me!?
In before a third version with tan lines.
I never got the appeal of tanlines.
i'm sorry
