How is Aquamarine for quality? I don't think I own anything from them.

How is Aquamarine for quality? I don't think I own anything from them.

Expensive as hell and usually not worth it until a price drop. Average quality though.

Here's their work so far. I'm waiting for their Chaika to go down in price.

Ah, yes. I like that Chaika, but the face doesn't suit her personality at all.

 

[kewlmyc]

You hate Chaika face? Chaika mad!

It's one of the shows last season I really liked and I don't know why.

Also the figure is based off one of the novel covers, face and all.

New season starts soon, doesn't it? I think I heard something about October.

 

[Jayhawk]

are you going to TGS?!

Yep.

 

[kewlmyc]

New season starts soon, doesn't it? I think I heard something about October.

Yes, in two weeks or so.

This is the illustration the figure's based on.

Hopefully we get Red Chaika too. The show didn't get great sales, so we probably won't. However they're adapting the whole series anyway so hurray for that at least.

 

[LiK]

Yep.

take some pics

 

[Snkfanatic]

I just wish they did a Chaika figure that looks more like she does in the Anime. Would be Day 1 for me.

is it normally to not hear anything for so long?

Well there's the Half Life 3 of Nendoroids which we've heard nothing about since the initial preview over a year ago.

I can understand since the anime art is more standard, but I prefer the novel illustrations.

Namaniku ATK is a godly artist. Have both of his artbooks preordered.

I have his books ordered as well actually lol. Sucker for anything Chaika, I did go back and forth on this figure a lot honestly. I am hoping the second season of the anime will cause another figure to be made. Otherwise I will try to snag this one later on.

yeah I saw 2 artbooks. Do you know whats the difference between the books?

 

[kewlmyc]

One is about all of Namaniku ATK's works (Muramasa and Chaika) and releases in October.

The other only features Chaika art and releases in March, right after the final novel releases.

She honestly doesn't look that great. I'm tempted because Chaika, but having been exposed to the smiling anime Chaika first...

 

[Einbroch]

I like everything except the eyes.

They look out of place.

 

[johnsmith]

hlj has amazon in stock, but not sure if i actually want her.
8.325 isn't bad, but the order i cancelled from amiami was 7,400.

Of course you want her. How can you say no to such life and hometown? And that face, doe.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[Vlaphor]

Well, my Alpha X Omega Viletta Nu came in today, and I am happy...but I may have spent too much on an impulse purchase. It's in great condition, and the box is better off than was advertised.

Is anyone here interested in buying it for $150? That includes shipping in the states.

I'll post pics tomorrow...

 

[Bombless]

Very much so.

XD

I paid slightly less than $150 when I bought her pre-owned from AmiAmi a while back. I like her, but yeah, it was a lot to spend on an impulse buy. That said, I'm not getting rid of her, as I do like her quite a bit.

 

[Freezasaurus]

oh man, Union Creative Hozuki:

Anyone hear anything about their Gravity Daze Kat figure? I've been holding off because of quality concerns, but I'm really just waiting for people who ordered her to chime in. If she's good, I'll buy her in a heartbeat.

 

[dakkumauji]

So I was check Mandarake to see what's new and as usual they had their Do you want to see R18 stuff but this time they had a new option...

Spoiler

I clicked it and it sent me to a page about a rare Pokemon card, lol

 

[Augemitbutter]

any user pics of amazon? i don't want any promo or shop pics with weird light.

Nendoroid Petite: Girls und Panzer

Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.: Part 2

"From the Hatsune Miku song that featured in a Google Chrome commercial, ‘Tell Your World’, comes a scale figure of Hatsune Miku based on the song’s album jacket illustration.

The colorful design of Miku made in collaboration between Fantasista Utamaro and mebae has been carefully transformed into a figure, keeping all the finest of details and feminine air of Miku as faithfully as possible."

(・∀&#12539 “Plus as a special event to commemorate her going up for preorder, we’re running a little campaign!”
The campaign can be found here:
⇒ http://event.goodsmile.info/tell_your_world/

(・∀&#12539 “On this special page, you can write down your dream or wish and it will appear for everyone to see on a design similar to the original CD jacket! The site itself is only in Japanese, but feel free to write your wishes in English and submit them! Simply click the white button, fill in your name and your wish and submit!”

I added my own dream to the wall! The dreams of everyone are displayed at random, so refresh a few times if you can’t find your’s after submitting! ♪

(・∀&#12539 “Note that some of the dreams that are submitted will be used on the actual package design for the figure! Your dream might be there too!!”

Nendoroid Kotori Minami

"From the popular anime series ‘Love Live!’ comes a Nendoroid of the gentle μ’s member who designs the group’s stage outfits, Kotori Minami! She has been sculpted wearing her outfit used in the song ‘Bokura wa Ima no Naka de’.

Kotori comes with both a winking expression and a blank expression that suits her gentle personality perfectly. She also comes with a large number of parts that allow you to recreate the dance moves from the opening of the first season! Be sure to display her together with the previously announced Nico Yazawa, Honoka Kousaka and other upcoming members of μ’s! ♪"

(・∀&#12539 “As with the previous characters in the series, she also comes with a GSC Online bonus!”

Ooooooh?! Σ(･ω･&#65417ﾉ
A sample of the bonus has finally arrived for me to take a look at!

(・∀&#12539 “Yep! Nendoroid Kotori comes with the same bonus as Nendoroid Nico!!

· Special Chequered Base
· Small and Large Nendoroid Base Extension Parts

These are all included as a bonus!”

…are these long flat things the extension parts?!

(・∀&#12539 “They can be folded into a square, silly!”

Ah! *nod* *nod*

This thread has the best luck.
I complain about missing the nichijou nendos on mandarake, and they both appear again within 3 days of each other! And I was awake to order them!
So excited for next week~

 

[RMI]

So good. So very good.

Amazon, Elf, and Sorceress are going to look amazing together.

the face killed it for me. The only one I regret cancelling was Elf. That was probably a mistake.

 

[BadWolf]

MGS2 Snake looked better before they colored the face :/

 

[BGBW]

Snake seems to have a curse when it comes to figurine faces.

Well done Nendo Snake, you won the game.

 

[dakkumauji]

That box~

Spoiler

And I'll actually get him this month, hahaha

Oh yeah? I love her face, but I could see how some might be turned off by it. Can't really blame you at all for canceling Elf after the cone business. I nearly canceled myself but I had already cancelled something with AmiAmi the prior month.

Koto seems to like using that transparent box for a lot of their animu figures.

Cancelling Dragon's Crown figures is blasphemy perpetrated only by infidels. Pray for forgiveness.

No need to open it. I'll display it like that lol

 

[kewlmyc]

Thinking about getting Megahouse's Dragon Crown's Sorceress since Orchid Seed's probably is still 2 years away from release.

 

[chrono01]

Yeah, I really love Alter's see-through boxes. I think they started with Asuka [Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.0] and their following releases [Asuka from Senran Kagura, Super Sonico Christmas Ver., etc.] have all had them. They're beautiful.

By the way, I'm weakening on Event Girl. All that Life and Hometown is making it difficult to say "no"...

 

[Vlaphor]

Box is a little worn, but fine. Figure is in perfect condition. I'm asking $150 for it, and that includes shipping in the United States.

Sounds like buyer's remorse. I love mine. Think next time before dropping that much.

 

[Vlaphor]

It happens. Still, my loss is everyone else's gain. I had to wait five months before the figure showed up at that price.

it's accurate to the artwork but she just looks sleepy to me. I guess I don't even know what I would want her expression to be like.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely regret paying 15k for her, but I really like the figure just the same. I bought her because I've wanted her for a while, and she really doesn't seem to pop up for sale too often.
