its not that bad, its just topless. I have QB figure that can go topless as well but none of them are >_> except for siggy since that one has like zero options anyways.
TURN BACK NOW!
You know not what you tempt yourself with...
Nice choice. Native does some great work.
As for "NSFW" figures, I own several. As long as it's not from Giga Pulse or something, that's too intense for me. Having a seductive figure [in a state of un-dress] that's tastefully posed? I see nothing wrong with it!
Enjoy your venture into R-18 Land.

That's the literally the Angel/Devil on my shoulders.
Don't worry, I dispatched of the Angel. There will only be enabling from now on. >
Ichiban Kuji figures are basically won via a lottery. You purchase a ticket [for a few hundred yen] and, if you win, you get the figure!
That's why the value of them usually increase over-time, given their limited nature.
I guess I don't feel too bad paying the price then. I wish shipping wasn't another 2400 yen.

EMS is for suckers. Live on the edge and go with SAL.
"Will it arrive safely? Have they lost it? Did it get crushed under larger packages? Insurance? What insurance?"
These are the thrilling and burning questions that you too can experience.

What is the difference between EMS and DHL? My Sabo figure shipped via DHL and arrived in Texas in three days. Son't think EMS can beat that.
How much did your DHL cost?

1,500 yen. It might just be the same stuff.

I know, I only bought one so far. As soon as I got it...I am resisting the temptation to get a few more.

EMS is an express mail service offered and operated by the country's own postal service.
DHL is run and operated by the company with it's own infrastructure.
I guess it very much depends on where you live whether or not it's faster or cheaper
Update: Elf finally has a tracking number, 1 week after I requested shipping... *grumbles*

SAL is fine but be smart and use registered especially if you don't trust where your packages are delivered.
Just buying one is enough, you don't think about getting hooked. It just happens.
I bought one like two and a half years ago and now I have 41 (not including petits) It's a rocky, dangerous road.

Wow, two more Code of Princess figures popped up on AmiAmi about an hour ago (one of each variant) and they're already gone. She moves super fast.

Been reading the manga instead of watching the anime but only realised how small the head of the clossal titan is in proportion to the body (anime/manga wise anyway) XD
Edit: Lol

The anime's definitly have awesome art and animation, the manga's art is something that really needs to getting used to, whilst reading I sometimes confused the characters, the art is that messy lol.
Probs will start watching the anime again likely at the best jumping in point, no need to watch the recap episode and will not be driven crazy by weekly waits lol.
Still undecided on the Colossal Titan Nendoroid, the amount of extra seems worth it though.
Yea, just skip the one recap ep and you're fine. I didn't mind the "slow" eps., tbh. Some people are so impatient. They're too used to watching anime series that are completed already.
I think the Nendo is well worth it. Really love the sculpt and yea, the extras are pretty damn cute.

How muxh do you think the Colossal Titan will cost?
Eren and Mikasa figmas will be mine regardless.

Depends on the size. I don't think he'll end up being too much larger than other figmas. So I'd venture to say he won't be more than $50.
I hope you're right. I hope they don't jack it up based on popularity.

Very happy with BBTS right now. They allowed me to cancel two things that were sitting in my Pile of Loot for months now. They usually only give back store credit but the CSR even asked me if I wanted my CC refunded instead. Which I just replied with a yes.
Not sure if this is standard practice since this is the only second time I canceled an order in my Loot with them in years so maybe they're nicer to me about it. Their policy on the site is way more strict.

That's pretty cool of them, I've had good dealings with BBTS as well. I normally pick up from sideshow first for the points but its nice to have reliable backups. They just (FINALLY) shipped my Enterbay Michael Jordan #23, should have it next week
They just replied and refunded my CC. Pretty fast. Looking forward to your Jordan pics.

Hm, so figma Mikasa has a January 2014 release date. Has there been any word on pricing yet?

My Naoe Kanatsugu just got it! Glad I got it, even though I know nothing about the series she comes from (and really couldn't afford it).
...I now have five figures sitting in boxes, waiting to be freed...
Oh,a question for Figure-GAF: Due to negligence, work schedule, etc, My Tony Taka Miku has a horrendous case if dust build up on her hair. For those who have this figure, her hair was super-tacky/sticky, so light dusting/water isn't working.
Any ideas, suggestions, tips on how to get her hair shiny clean again without damaging the paint?

I'd guess general figma pricing, so around 3,000 yen.
my taiko drums arrived
my cases where i keep my better figs, i have another trud case where i keep my older ones
I really need risers for my case, but i'm too poor right now, and amazon canada is has terrible prices compared to us, i might have to look locally
link to haul post
i had almost an entire luggage case (the big ones) dedicated to it
i had to debox a few of them to fit it in, i mean, if you dont care about the boxes, (in my case) if I deboxed everything, i could have probably fit 5 to 8 times more stuff
the luggage itself was relatively light
found it at mandarake for 2100 yen or something
i loved searching through bins at mandarake, it was like treasure hunting
Nice pictures, Anony! Thanks for sharing.
So many new sculpts/painted figures announced today. All I know is that 2014 is already shaping up to be a great year.
Velvet Batrass [Alpha Max] - Painted!
Aty [Alter]
Iris Hartely [Alpha Max] - Painted!
Asmodeus - Bunny Girl Ver. [Amakuni] - Unexpected, but pleasantly surprised.
Sailor Jupiter/Venus S.H Figuarts[Bandai] - Painted. That was fast!
Senjougahara Hitagi [Kotobukiya]
Probably more I'm forgetting...
Granted I probably won't purchase ALL of these, but they're now on my radar.
