If this were GSC manufacturing them, I have a feeling the three mentioned would be guaranteed. However, since it isn't, the possibilities are endless!
Haha, Dragon's Crown does look incredible. I actually have my copy now [it came with that amazing art book], but I'm not playing it at the moment since I decided to start Tales of Xillia first [I'm having a lot of fun with that one!]. I'll get around to it eventually, though. You don't get many games of that style anymore, and it's Vanillaware. How could I not love it!?

I made the mistake of playing Dragon's Crown to level 17, then starting Xillia. When I went back to play Dragon's Crown for a bit yesterday, I just couldn't give a fuck about any of it and went right back to Xillia. I'm sure I'll pick it up again after I'm finished with Xillia, but a beat-'em-up with RPG elements just can't compete with an actual JRPG.
Still looking forward to those Dragon's Crown figures, though. Hopefully they won't feature the Megahouse Labrys-style pricing. Right now, I just want to see them painted.

Watched The Dark Knight Rises to get hyped for Selina Kyle. Debating on looking into the Batpod, but I'm sure prices are through the roof now. Need to check.
Anyway, figure Gaf. Im getting heavy into toy photography and will be getting a real cam soon and try to rely less on filters and more on lighting and focus. Follow me on instagram if you'd like.

I decided to not even open up Dragon's Crown until I've finished playing Xillia. Definitely want that Elf figure though.

That price, what the fuck? We'll see how it looks after the discounts... So if I'm reading this correctly, she goes up for pre-order on 9/27, and comes out in February?
Her facial expression is completely meh. She looks bored. I think I'm probably gonna pass on this one. Bring on the Megahouse Amazon and Elf.

^ Nice Eas. Lovely figure.
Got Elf today:
I'm really pleased with her. She looks great in person. Shining Wizard strikes again. Expect the cape to be a pain to fit though.
I think I've got 7 more figures to come this month, including 1 grail, so yeah more pics incoming later

Goddam. Another figure that interests me?
Bah, super skinny after all.
Eh, I dunno if I should jump in or not.
Anyone ver ordered from here? http://www.tsume-art.com/en/product/erza-scarlett-hqf still debating this Erza figure that Freezaurua was kind enough to find for me.

Up on amiami now: 10,280 JPY http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-001756&page=top
Not really my jam, but the paintwork and base are excellent.
Thanks dude.
I'm not really feeling the Sorceress' expression. She looks sleepy.
I'd like an Erza figure, but I'm not really thrilled by that one. Her face seems a little off. I believe it's an exclusive, though, so you can only buy her from that site.

Orchid Seed is making one too.
I'm buying her without hesitation. I think she looks really good and the price is about what I was expecting. I'll be buying the Orchid Seed version too most likely. Vanillaware is what got me into figures. Momohime and Velvet are 2 of
my all time favorites, and I'm going to grab all the Dragons Crown figures unless something disastrous happens with the end result on one of them.
My fellow boob bro.
You're not making my decision easier, johnsmith!
By the way, may you please add http://www.sideshowtoy.com/ to the OP's list of Western shop links? It's probably the best place to buy Hot Toys figures and I see quite a few people in the thread buy them. I'm one of those people that spends hundreds on Hot Toys, yet complains about a $100 Sorceress figure. Ugh.
EDIT: www.animarket.com and www.thegrandlineshop.com can also be added to the shop lists as those two shops seem to sell legit One Piece figures and are a good place to look if Amiami and the other main sites are sold out.

Ahahaha it's like the Udon artbook with DVD scenarioWhich means Bayonetta will de delayed again haha!I am cry
Ouch that price, don't think it will sell out in a while gives me time to decide, especially waiting on Dragon Crown's Eu release.
Great figure.
I only played lineage II briefly, but whenever I see this figure I'm reminded more of FFXI...

Good lord, ugliest Play Arts yet.
Once again a case of them overdoing it.
No one's posted about the Devil Survivor 2 protagonist nendoroid going up for pre-orders? You guys suck Lookit how cute he is! And there's an added Byakko with him too X3
Also, that Yami Marik figure is up for pre-order too~ Hurray for dude figures that aren't terrifying like the Batman up there XD
Have there been any updates about those chibi Digimon Adventure figures from GEM? I have limited 'net access (read: my phone is crap), dunno if there's been any info or release dates revealed for them yet

I dunno yet. I need to see what Orchid Seed's figure looks like first. If I get a Sorceress, it'll only be one of the two. No one needs that much tit-flesh, and I don't really like character redundancy in my collection.

No! Stay strong, brother. I'm waiting to see what the Orchid Seed version looks like, because the face on this one make her look like she's bored. I do like the base, but that isn't enough.
You can never have enough boobs.
Freezasaurus
Member
Of course you can't. But Sorceress has enough boob for herself and four other figures.
Same. But I think Orchid Seed puts out higher quality stuff, in general. So I'm hoping they come up with something good.

her tits look so unnatural. need to see better angles and proper pics without photoshop.
Which makes getting more Sorceresses a space saving initiative. Get more boobage per display space. Brilliant!
I'll have to give this one some thought. Her facial expression isn't what I expected and, while more "oppai" in my collection is never a bad thing, I'd rather purchase one Sorceress instead of 2. Hopefully Orchid Seed will have their sculpt ready soon, but then...this IS Orchid Seed. She'll likely be a year or two away from release. -_-
Well damn.
Sure my August is now ridiculously cheap but, with Insane Black Rock Shooter and Belldandy with Holy Bell, as well as Dark Elf and Yuki already scheduled for September, not that month is expensive. I was hoping to get at least Belldandy with Holy Bell or Insane Black Rock Shooter this month. Having to pay for them both [and their size] in addition to a couple other figures? Ouch.
I might just opt to ship one of them one their own via EMS. I can't imagine the EMS cost of shipping both of those together with more figures in addition...

You think the wait will be that bad? Is it just because they take longer to go from sculpt to painted to release?
They just take a long...long time with anything they do.
They seem to be releasing the Seven Deadly Sins line pretty consistently, although they have been delayed a couple of times, but that might be because they're under a more strict time-frame [with a few other manufacturers handling them, as well]. With Orchid Seed figures, it can take a year for a sculpt to show up [after being announced] and even longer to see it painted. It varies, but generally when it comes to Orchid Seed, don't expect the final prototype anytime soon. ~_~
Maybe Sorceress will be different. Maybe. I'm not getting my hopes up, though.

Hmmm. How is Alphamax for quality? If Orchid Seed is going to take that long, I may get that one for now.
Alphamax has pretty nice quality. They're definitely gotten better over the last year or so and their Tony Taka girls are great. I just recently received their Mai Shiranui [Red Ver.] and she's amazing.
Honestly, I'm tempted to just purchase Alphamax's release as well since I know waiting for Orchid Seed's version will be painful. I mean, the possibility that she will be released early is always there, but given their past history I wouldn't expect it.
To put things in perspective, they had another figure that was announced four years ago [Snow from Blassreiter] and she's not even painted yet.
Their Panty was announced over a year ago and she's only now been painted. They don't have any promotional shots of her yet either, so I can't see her being released for another 6 months or so.
