I don't buy Nendos, but I may have to make an exception for that Colossal Titan. I go gaga for Attack on Titan.

Really beginning to hate Neogaf... So many things just wanting me to spend my money!
So wanting to preorder this.
No idea of any of what its about (Now know it was a tv series), but its so damn cool...
Thing is with Girlfriend and a baby how do I justify what many people may perceive to be childish (I'll be 29 when this comes out)?

Sideshow emailed me that my Iron Man Mk7 has shipped!!My first Hot Toys figure
Congrats, the slippery slope has begun
That's the thing, you don't have to justify anything. It's a hobby like any other (and figmas are one of the still relatively cheaper side of this hobby).
I jumped on that figma without knowing the source material as well. It's just incredible.
Also Giolon,sir, I approve of your ruthlessness. I didn't want to be too pushy with george_us and you dove right in.
I'll add this : if you get PeeGee you need to get her alter-ego!

I stayed away from Supergirl. Mainly because of her current price, but also because they fucked up the "S" logo.

Going to order some figures, a quick question, I've noticed that some figures have clear plastic stands to put them in certain poses. Do these come with the figures or will i need to purchase them separately?
also any Gaffers from UK ordered from playasia? Are they good?
Looks ace and for my girlfriend as she lovesNightmare before Christmas... Sweeten her up up for:
Just need to play the waiting game

What exactly do you want to order? I'd avoid playasia due to the pricing. There are better places to get figures from, but it depends on what you want. My personal recommendation is Nippon-Yasan.

Already ordered them.
Pricing seemed ok, know there are cheaper places, but it seemed good. Will keep Nippon-Yasan in mind tho thank you
The OT op has plenty of options for you to buy from. Those are the best imo.

Figmas, Nendoroids and all those posable figures come with stands.

People like Dragon Crown here, so Garage Kits:

Hurray, this Waver Velvet Altair came in!
Couple things that differ from the promotional material...
The stand that you place Waver on is brown, not clear, and Alexander has his own clear stand.
You can't lock Waver into the big stand though, which is kind of annoying. He stays firmly in place, but if you wanna move it around, gotta hold both. Just a very minor thing. Alexander locks into his stand though.
Got him up with his more dere face.

They almost always show figures with clear stands in the prototype and promotional photos. I actually wish you got clear stands with them more often, because a lot of the solid color plastic stands look sorta cheap. :S
This figure looks really cute, though.

Some figures end up having bases that are just unnecessarily large. It factors in when you're trying to position them in a detolf without making things look crowded.
That is LEGIT AWESOME. I might pm you with questions later.
kinda want to try my hand at it.

So what's with these new Tales of Symphonia statues out of nowhere?
Is there something happening with the game?

HD Collection was announced:
Tales of Symphonia Unisonant Pack announced for PS3 [US/EU release confirmed]
So this is 4chan's figure guide.

Not bad besides the 4chan attitude and vulgarity. There sure is a lot of emphasis up front about self control and budgeting. Maybe there's stories about people ruining their lives buying these things?

got lucifer from HLJ. Atleast I order it and got an email confirmation of the order!
Okay GAF, I have wishlisted everything I want to track on mfc when it comes to prepainted figures, but now I want to track some garage kits. I found these images on Tomopop and I am wondering if anybody knows if they have an mfc entry or if you are able to just help with character names and series. I figured out most of the rest I was curious about.

Ahh, this's the probably the 1st time (besides Pit and Pittoo) I've gotten something during release, so I didn't see any post release pics or anything.
Though I do like the base, it's colored to look kind of like wood, and it looks nice to me.

any issues with the chain rusting? MFC is mentioning it a lot
Giolon
Member
Mine did come rusted, as a commenter there pointed out. XD It really isn't that noticeable in person, but after seeing some folks post pictures of stains the rust left on their figure I ran out and bought some CLR and scrubbed the rust off. It wasn't too hard. The question is how to keep it from rusting in the future.

Ali Baba from Code of Princess is up for PRe-Order at AmiAmi.
A bit pricey. Didn't meltingparappa want this?

She's a garage kit, unfortunately.
Nice pictures! It's nice to see a fellow NeoGAF member taking on the quest to collect all of the Seven Deadly Sins. It will be expensive, but worth it in the end. I love the idea/theme around them as much as I do the character design. Nishii does some great stuff!
My Lucifer should hopefully ship today. I had her in my AmiAmi combined order for the month so I couldn't have her ship out on-time. 39,000 yen with shipping, not nearly as expensive as last month thankfully!
August is looking to be pretty expensive, though, if some items aren't delayed...

I did and OH MY GOD the titan nendoroid is up there as well!

Wha? OMG! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I said I was done for the year. Whyyyyyyyy!?!?

I hate myself.
I hear you. -_-
I'm right on the verge of pre-ordering it myself. Someone stop me...

Actually, it's fine now. I just off-loaded Junko onto someone else (to buy for me) as a Christmas-ish present.
EDIT: Question about the Titan Nendo - the amiami listing says it includes figure and base. What about all the other stuff that's shown in one of the pics (as well as at WonFes)? I assume it's all included. The price being what it is.
Wow, nicely done! I'd love to get Junko for Christmas...if you know what I mean!Actually, it's fine now. I just off-loaded Junko onto someone else (to buy for me) as a Christmas-ish present.
Heh Heh...Heh...
Too creepy? Yeah, I thought as much.
Stop encouraging him/her! Before you know it they will be selling the clothes off their very back to purchase figures!Now you need Huntress.
...You should purchase her, though. They would look great together.
I know, I am not helping things...I am sorry.
Two's enough already!
Although that Huntress statue is less expensive that I thought it was...
Edit: Ordered lol.
Double Edit: Nope nevermind. Nearly forgot that Dragon's Crown comes out next week.
Do it. Peej and Huntress go together so well. They look great side by side on my desk.
YES DO IT! For my next figure I'm going to be making it into tutorial-like videos. I have a bunch of apoxie puttie so I was going to sculpt the hair with that clay. And thanks : )
I'm pretty much finished I just need to add the eye decals but that tattoo paper I bought only has two sheet so I put it off for today lol... (dat shadow on that bumpy leg...) I didn't think acrylic paint could look not that bad
I did! Yeah, i'm a huge fan of Danny Choo. Especially since he originally grew up in Hackney which is where I'm from! Totally inspirational guy. I missed out on a chance to meet him when I was out in Japan
I hope to one day afford to get a 3D Printer though, so one day I can do figure requests perhaps
I'll definitely ask you for any sculpting advice though, thanks
Haha that's too bad but don't worry I'm sure he'll still be around for awhile (especially after he makes those robotic dolls! Who hasn't been waiting for their own real persocom lol). Ok I'm not a pro but I'll try to help : D
OMG YOU'RE A PRO AT FIGURES (why am I trying to give you tips LOL) (I love the hand btw those joints look so nice. You need to post your stuff online do you have a deviantart or tumblr I can follow you on?). Sometimes when I put clay in the oven with foil inside air bubbles pop out and make bumps but nothing has exploded yet. I'll keep that in mind thanks : ) Ahh the only reason I wouldn't do that now is because I want to get figures ready for casting and cutting up the body with foil inside would be horrible.
Your figures are beautiful don't fret I hope you're working on some figures too atm?

Yeah, I'm kinda worried about the pricing of the Megahouse Dragon's Crown figures now, after the Labrys fiasco.
Attack on Titan Colossal Titan Nendo is up for preorder. Bought.
