Do want.
I like how she's sitting on the treasure chest. It's similar to the pose Fiona is in, only with a more interesting object under her bum. It's a sexier figure than I usually buy, but I think I'm going to have to pull the trigger on that one. She's not exclusive, is she?

Anyone pick up the American release of the Tamashi Nations Green Ranger?
Yeah, she looks great. I love the pirate-look.
Nope, she's not exclusive [thankfully]. She'll be available at the regular/usual sites. d(^_^)v
(Pre-owned ITEM:A / BOX:B)Excellent Model CORE Queen's Blade Grimoire P-1 User of the Darkness in Wonderland "Arisia" 1/8 Complete Figure(Released)
6,380 JPY
One of my favorite Queen's Blade figures. I paid 7,200 new, and she's sold out everywhere. So this is a good price.

She does loo great, but I'm not compelled to own her in my collection.
Did you have as much difficulty getting her clothed as those on MFC? I've heard some terrible things about her in that regard.
I still haven't taken her out of the box. =/
That sucks. You would think Square would improve the qc of their figs considering how freaken expensive they are :\
I kinda want Faora, but 80 is just too much for playart quality.

a lot of people are saying that the clothes are fragile. I found quite a couple on mandarake at 6k~. Seems like they used hard ABS on the clothes and thus its more fragile.
Ah. You might have a nasty surprise should/when you do! I've heard some horror stories regarding her clothing...
O_O
Still a great-looking figure.

What is it with people and Queen's Blade figures? Admittedly, I've never seen tbe anime, but is it anything more than an orgy of fanservice?

Now that, I would buy.

I just like some of the char design thats all. Not all of them though. I'm more of a fan of hyakka.
Dunno if they'd work for your setup, but I just bought a few of THESE from Lowes, they were on clearance for a bit over $5 in the store I went to (I bought the last 3 that were left there XD), I guess ymmv depending where you go. They're expandable width-wise but can be separated and still stand on their own, pretty decent for that price~ Hope this helps another fellow Canadian :3
Speaking of, are there ever any sales/deals on those Detolf shelves? Or is there something similar and/or cheaper available in Canada? In the process of moving and want to start planning my geek room for when I get settled in
I can finally post a picture of the painted Velvet Batrass [promotional shots released]! She'll be 9800 yen [without discount] with a scheduled release of January 2014. Pre-orders might open tonight.
I won't pre-order right away, but I know I'll succumb to the pressure soon enough...

kinda iffy on the face but that body sculpt is great
Also on the subject of risers, you can get creative on what to use. Found this video with lots of ideas.

I would have never thought of using this as one

She's a nice figure. You don't have to be strong this time. Go ahead and pre-order immediately.
Is she from a specific series, or is she an OC?
She's from Shining Arc on the PSP [Japan-Only title, obviously].She's a nice figure. You don't have to be strong this time. Go ahead and pre-order immediately.

I'm not too familiar with it, but I do love the look of her!
Indeed, saw that today on a site and was like helllzyeah, bout time, now just give me an Akane to pair him with
I was thinking of going to a hobby shop and trying to find some trusses to build a tv studio like this.
And this gives me a great idea to get some extra stands for my P4 Taito figures. The yellow bases they come with are way too big.
Sweet. Amazon sells them and they're not super expensive.

Ooh, that looks like a white Besta... maybe I should go white instead of black/brown.
Anyway, I bought 12 of these configurable stands shown below more than a year ago. At $8 per stand plus shipping, I found them to be very good since you can customize the stand's configuration. I used them to prop up old Play Arts before I moved and packed everything up.

I'm guessing yes, most likely to September as well.
That seems to be the popular month to release any/all figures. It's going to crush me.
my taiko drums arrived

Damn son. So good.

I dunno. I like the figure, but I already have Miku2020 in January, and I don't know what else might pop up. I don't really want to order more than two standard PVC figures per month next year. And they're charging high prices for 1/8 scale figures all of a sudden.
New Years resolution starts now.

That's why I'm holding off on pre-ordering her. I want to cut back on my orders for 2014 so I don't want to unnecessarily pre-order anything suddenly. I'll give it some time before I commit to see if it's something I need to have in my collection.I dunno.

As am I! Yessss!
While she's a nice looking figure, I don't think she's one I can't live without. I daresay that for that pose, I think Fiona is a bit more interesting visually. There's more to catch the eye.
Omg, amiami is taking orders for this posters set.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=CGD-3598
I'd originally seen them in this guy's pic, but they were sold out at the time. Might have to pick them up.

It's basically fan service. Before the anime they were strategy games in booklets or something with a lot of ecchi art. They're all castoffable as well so that's another reason. I like a lot of designs.
my taiko drums arrived
Is that a Taiko drum for the Wii or some sort of figure? It's not this model I'm assuming.
Amiami even has an AE Vewlix machine model for preorder! Makes me want to build out an arcade.

You can get those for a lot cheaper than $8 each. They're 266 yen (~$2.75) apiece from HobbySearch. I bought 11 of them a couple years ago for my Play Arts Kai collection (that I've since sold off most of). My total cost was 4,506 shipped - approx. $4.22 each.
But yes, they ARE awesome.
I hate this thread lol, man its a plastic kit too? I'm going to have to grab one.
They just replied and refunded my CC. Pretty fast. Looking forward to your Jordan pics.
I'm really excited about this one! I really hope they add Rajon Rondo to their basketball releases, I would not mind having an all sports detolf for the den.

Colossal Titan figma kneeling down trying to play.
Some interesting ideas there. I really need to get some risers, and I was thinking of just investing in some tools for bending acrylic and making my own, but that's a considerable amount of effort, and there are some nice alternative there.
Also, after a week of long working hours preventing me from receiving any of the shipments that were sent to me, I finally made it to the post office and picked up the first 3 of 4 Mandarake purchases:
Now to wait on that Azusa wedding figure...
