Ill put it this way. This is a Kotobukiya and they are starting to get as good as some Alter figures I have. http://myfigurecollection.net/item/143934
They are a slight step down from the very best but still up there. They make some good quality cuties

Ah I love that one, still want to get one sometime.
I have quite a few Kotos and Im quite content with them.
Max Factory does good work, too, though they don't seem to be as prominent as they used to be (or maybe they're just making figures/characters that don't make it on my radar).
As for the Shiro, cute, but not "wow" enough for me to buy for 11k. I don't like the giant crown.
Other than Koto's Mikasa, I have nothing in October as well. Was going to get a MGSV case for my iPhone and GSC's Mikasa, but I'm just going to cancel those.

Trying to stay away from the Titan figures...but if I did get one it would be a Mikasa.

Enablers and the ones driving up costs of figures >= dang it you guys X'D
Soon we'll be paying 15k for a 1/10.
What about those new 1/10 beach queen figures that are being priced at 100 plus dollars each....lolololololol
I bought one of those a few years ago cuz she was an exclusive. Oof, never again.

Not me. Not EVER.
I'm really not crazy about the coloring they went with for Utena. Pass.

Is it good or bad that I'm managing to resist on that Shiro purely because I literally won't have space to display her without packing up or selling some older figures?
I just did a quick count-up on my collection and I have 13 Koto figures. Their older stuff was... not bad, exactly (their QC has always been solid, and the sculpts are competent at worst), but less detailed and fewer fancy airbrushed paint apps, etc compared to Alter/Max Factory/etc's output (I have a few of their Strike Witches that I picked up to complete certain pairings because Alter were being slow, and the contrast between the Kotos and the Alters was pretty stark), but they've really raised their game in the last few years.
Although I did get their Kuroyukihime last year, and she arrived with two lower right wing parts, rather than one right/one left, but luckily AmiAmi sorted that out for me pretty quickly, and a packaging mistake like that is just bad luck.

They are polystone resin, so not quite directly comparable. They're more akin to the Sideshow stuff than typical PVC figures.
Still, I see no value to that material. It's so brittle and heavy. They say it allows for increased detail, but I've seen some damn impressively detailed PVCs.
You say this now....
Yeah, he'll come around, you just watch.

Nah, I mean it. 1/10 is a shit scale that shouldn't even exist. It's so small I wonder why they even bother.
As for Shiro, I'm still tempted to get her. But I'd have to kick something out of my October order. Either Jason bishoujo or Alleyne recolor, because I neeeeeeed the bishoujo Batgirl reissue. I'll probably leave things as they are, because if I did cave and pay that insane price for Shiro, it would only encourage them to keep up that kind of pricing.
I'm sure I'll have her ordered by the end of the week anyway.
Hahaha, yeah I don't blame you. I have a 1/10 and I just put it on my desk because it looks awkward next to the 1/8, 1/7, and 1/6 scales. Not really happy that the Kat figure is under 8 inches tall even with the floating stand.
I'll probably get the Shiro eventually if it goes into the bargain bin or has a cheap used version.

Yeah, I don't even know the character/show, but it's nice enough that I'd purchase at a considerably lower price.

Snow Miku 2014! Randomly stumbled across her (someone reselling from last week's Comic Con in London, UK), she is great

Standard nendo boxes are a dime a dozen, but this one is huuuuuge - she has lots of parts, two hats, a couple of leg sets, etc. The replica book is pretty heavy too, so I guess it all needed a sturdy bit of packaging.

Man that's good packaging. Even has history/who is Miku page, impressively done GSC.

I finished my Nonon sculpt for a competition I did (some of you guys who follow me on twitter will have seen it), but the coloured render turned out shite in zbrush. So for fun I rendered a non coloured one in keyshot to see how it might look if it was printed out (which I hope to one day do!)
What do you guys think?
Once I work out how to get this looking great in colour, I'll update
Also gonna try and get an interactive turntable working.. once I work it out.

I saw on the Facebook group, your Nonon was my favorite. Why don't you try to render in other program?

I was going to check the price and pre-order this after I saw the picture, then I got a bit disappoint when I found out it is just a render
Nice job!

Doesn't even look that big on the picture but makes sense yes. A great package in any case.

Look like it's right off the anime, pretty good. The notes in particular.

Cheers guys
It's all polypainted, and I kinda don't have the time to set it up in something like Maya. I'd need to unwrap it, get textures all setup etc
Also, wanna learn how to get nice looking renders in zbrush, because it does do a great job, just has a longer learning curve.
Aye. I looked at the coloured version and just barfed. If you guys wanna look here's a link. But it was done with such haste and I was super tired, it just didn't have that "figure" like quality i was after. I'll have it sorted soon enough though

Danger of buying Nendoroids from cons and such are bootlegs. That Snow Miku is dirt cheap on aliexpress.com for example. Then again, I have no idea how poor quality Nendoroid bootlegs are.
EDIT: I'm wondering why my Snow Miku directly ordered from the Goodsmile shop still hasn't shipped. July release date? Why does everybody else have it already?

That is why I bought them straight from the GSC booth and stayed clear of the other stalls' Nendos.
Edit : people with Snow Mikus already have bought them from GSC at various cons. Online Store release is later this summer.

The ones sold at cons and such are from a separate production run to the web orders - they make a limited number before the Sapporo Snow Festival/Winter WonFes to sell there (and presumably now they set some aside for overseas events), then do a separate production run later in the year after the web orders are closed, which usually ends up shipping in July.

Yeah, that one skyrocketed in price after it sold out. Crazy, man. Kotobukiya has a 1/7 Rikka figure scheduled. I don't think they revealed the sculpt yet.
So awesome! Great costume, and I love the base. FigureGAF should cross over from collecting to figure production.... Only fair we should profit off of an industry we've put so much money into. XD
