yea I had a feeling that it was skytube. From just looking at the samples I think they are the best at making (lewd) Tony figures. I recently looked at few of the ones coming out soon but this one looks the best so far.

It's already a Day One pre-order for me.
I just need to wait until AmiAmi lists her, hopefully with an exclusive bonus that they usually do for Alphamax/Tony Taka figures.
That alternate expression...HNNNNNNNNNNG
Up at BIJ now.

She might seem expensive but, she's 1/6 scale [sitting at 16.5 cm, 19.5 cm if you include the leaf] and cast-offable, which always demands a higher price because...well...more PVC [also, the "lewd" nature of it all]. I'm getting her with absolutely no intention of casting her off [I have this mentality for all of my cast-offable figures], I just really love the look of her and, as you said, she'll compliment Alleyne well.

10k is the norm for skytube stuff. I assume its licensing. I mean almost every figure before the price jump was around 9-10k for skytube. Nothing has changed.
what are you doing. you passed up shiro for her?!
Oh, I know I own a couple of Skytube/Tony Taka figures, and they're well worth the asking price. As you said, it's normal for them.
I was just explaining why I felt it personally demands the higher-price tag, since the last couple of pages had several mentions of PVC figure prices going up. I didn't want people thinking that Skytube was doing the same when, in actuality, they've remained very consistent with their pricing [for Tony Taka-related figures].
Yep.
No Game No Life is a popular anime, so the possibility that more manufacturers [GSC, Alter, etc.] will release sculpts of her during this upcoming hobby event is decent, and Kotobukiya prices generally fall after release and/or are usually easy to find on third-party sites for/around MSRP, oftentimes cheaper.
The Skytube/Tony Taka stuff, on the other hand...good luck. I mean, some you might be able to find for at MSRP [if you're lucky], but they have a tendency to increase in-price pretty rapidly, just look at the first two Fault! figures released by them.
Basically, I like both [and haven't said a permanent "no" to Shiro], but if I'm going to pre-order one of them, it will be Sugie San. Shiro I'll try to find for a bargain post-release, assuming GSC/Alter/etc. don't release one that looks even better.

it will get delayed. Most skytube figures get delayed for one month. Happened with the last...4-5 figures? maybe more
Ah, I see. Think I will put down a pre order then.
but it's just a girl with some leaves zzz
I dont see the appeal of this figure at all. No interesting outfit or design. If it was Xiaomei maybe they would have something but ugh.

NY is fine....if nothing goes wrong lol
as in?
Ive ordered several things from there without a hitch, including Rikka.
Why is that figure so expensive? theres nothing to her design.
Scale I guess.
I suppose. Without a good outfit, Tony Taka character designs are really...just there.

Figure manufacturers are taking hints from the sports car industry where less is more.
but what good is less clothing?
The exclusive stuff is usually added later.
If you want to pre-order now and email AmiAmi when the exclusive item goes up to switch to that pre-order you can, or you can just wait like I am. I won't lie, though. I was hoping for more of a discount from AmiAmi.
I might hold off on pre-ordering myself just in-case something else is announced for November.
It's standard for Snow Miku's starting with 2013's Strawberry Miku
Now I am even more disappointed, that my favorite Snow Miku 2014 didn't win.
Yay! I've been waiting on this one.
EDIT: DAT PRICE DOE. Why? She's large at 1/6 scale (so she matches Alleyne), but c'mon. Iris was 9,400 and at the same scale. The only difference I can tell is that there's a better base and two expressions.
And these tend to sell out, too. Pre-ordering is practically a must.
Under soft lighting, Alphamax body sculpts look pretty phenomenal. The big leaf is cute, too.
how long do they usually last before it becomes sold out?
They might be available for a week or two. At least, that's been the M.O. for the more lewd Tony Taka figures in the past. The cast-off ones tend to sell out quick, whereas ones like Daisy and Velvet can still be gotten second hand at a decent discount. They're either more popular or Alphamax opts to make fewer of them.

Hmmmmmm, BiJ has the black uniform Tetsuya up for pre-order.
Very tempting...Generally there's no problems with ordering from them right? The whole immediate payment thing though :x

Hello figure GAF. Recently received my first ever figure, so this will be my first time posting in this thread, of which I learned existed mere hours ago
It's a Cold Cast 1/6 prepainted figure of Kei from the 80's classic anime/manga Dirty Pair. Yuri (the other half of Dirty Pair) will soon be on her way to join her companion.
Please forgive my crappy pictures as the only camera I own is on my iPad
Hello and welcome! Stick around a while and join us in our wallet destroying rituals.
BiJ are great, they've been my go-to figure shop lately.
9200 is kinda expensive for Kuroko though, I imagine that's exactly the same sculpt as the standard release but with the black jersey yeah? You're free to buy whatever you want of course, but I guess I just wanted to warn you that he's pretty tiny for a 1/8 scale.

That's too much for Kuroko with just a black jersey....
Though I wasn't too impressed with the series, I am hoping the Space Dandy figures go up for preorder soon.....

Yeah, 9200 is pretty expensive, but he is exclusive to two stores only (both of which I don't expect any discounts from), so 9200 isn't too bad >_>
I think it's pretty hard to find the first release for less than that though :x
Hello BubblegumCrisis, welcome to Figure GAF, nice to have you here with us.^^ Nice decision for your first figure, never saw Dirty Pair but read about it and you've got a decent Kei figure there. As soon as Yuri arrive, share the pair with us.
Welcome.
And absolutely. Stuff gets updated on myfigurecollection.net immediately. It's remarkably up to date and complete.

Welcome. You have excellent taste both in name and in figure choices.
Be careful with coldcast, its very fragile.
Ahhh that's true lol
Wasn't he supposed to get a re-release though? Whatever happened to that
Welp. I ordered this girl - http://myfigurecollection.net/item/98982 .
I hope to get her friend http://myfigurecollection.net/item/95937 soon as well.

Crunchy Roll is selling nanami, $114 or $109 if you have a membership. Free shipping on orders over $75, so it seems a good deal if you can stand waiting the extra month or so it's going to take to come out.

I never get the appeal either. They pretty much all looks the same for me beside the head and sizes.

Again thanks for the wishes guys.
Here's another great birthday gift to me from Alter.
Thanks god. They mentioned him last Tales Fest, then never mentioned him again. I wonder if we're getting anymore Alter Tales figs announced this year since Tales Fest is this weekend.
Damn, that Lloyd looks good.
==================
On another note, I wasn't aware until recently that Alter's Minase Iori got a one month delay from this month.
Goddammit.

Oh it's your birthday? Happy Birthday man:
Almost missed that Lloyd and it is so getting delayed XD, I just want Sheena and Lloyd from Alter =P but don't think Sheena is popular =(
She isn't in Japan, which sucks.Oh it's your birthday? Happy Birthday man:

Wow pretty pricey for a figure I already have...
I think my next kurobas figure would be Takao.

Yeah, considering I was probably willing to drop up to $100 dollars if I saw Kuroko on sale at AX, I think I rather go for one with an uniform I like more.
This is me totally trying to justify this purchase I haven't made yet
Stop thinking about the past. We should all hope that Ludger gets an Alter figure instead.
