So what you're really asking is if he's a castoff?

[Bombless]

I'll be damned, woke up to a payment request email from N-Y for Megahouse's Sorceress. This is a surprise.

 

[Tempy]

Calling Ship GAF they know their audience =P

Oh god; this expression is soo tsundere :3

 

[Snkfanatic]

Would display like that. Tempted to order the Figma but I know I am getting the Nendo of her so not so sure.

 

[BGBW]

I'd swing a bottle at them!

Spoiler

Could be worse, in Japan they use a silver axe

hnnnnnnnngh

 

[omlet]

I'm so torn. On one hand, ugly Figma joints. On the other hand, best shipgirls.

 

[Einbroch]

Seriously, guys.

You don't even play the game.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Ya I can't stand the joints either....

 

[BGBW]

Seriously, guys.

But I thought everyone plays the game.

 

[Einbroch]

WE 2005 NOW

If we 2005, then this thread wouldn't exist and figures would be ugly monstrosities. At least Griffon still exists, so we can pretend.

 

[Bombless]

The world is not prepared.

 

[kewlmyc]

Seriously, guys.

You don't even play the game.

Tell me about it. It is however getting an anime in January so at least people not in Japan will be more familiar with the characters.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Why I gotta play a game to know I like something? I don't need some silly justification for Ship Girls.

They are like depth charges for my bank account.

 

[Einbroch]

Oh buoy. All this pier pressure may just make me cave. Although, I guess it's aboat time I board the ship. After all, we have to seas the day, and what could make a day better than a ship girl?

Moor often than knot I look at my shelf and think how good a Shimakaze would look there.

God, that hurt.

 

[omlet]

*Sirens wailing*

 

[GuardianE]

Tell me about it. It is however getting an anime in January so at least people not in Japan will justify existing pre-orders.

Fixed.

For me, if I'm going to drop anwhere between $40-$200 on a figure, I better be at least remotely familiar with the material. I'm probably one of the few who are like this though. Buying a figure just to say "oh it's based off some card game I've never played, but the character is cute" seems like it's not really worth it. Of course the anime will remedy this though.

boat girl figmas look great, but I'm not falling down that rabbit hole.

I'm in that boat as well (no pun intended). 7th Dragon 2020 Miku was the only exception, and to be honest it felt really odd getting her because of that.

so amazon and sorceress same month? wow. i need user pics soon.

I'm not really into collecting the figma [although I do own Shimakaze], but I really love that tsundere expression. HNNNNNNNNG.

I'll definitely be purchasing the scaled figure from Amakuni, though.

Have they released a prototype of the Amakuni one?

...not that I'm interested in buying it or anything.

Eh, I need to really really like the character before I get anything

 

[Snkfanatic]

Eh, I need to really really like the character before I get anything

Them multiple Ayu figures hehe

 

[chrono01]

...not that I'm interested in buying it or anything.

Not yet, only artwork that may or may not resemble the finished prototype.

Just enough that they're doing one is enough for me, I absolutely love their Shimakaze.

Not sure why AmiAmi doesn't sell those...

More so that the GSC one?

Amakuni is always exclusive from what I recall. You have to order then through Hobby Japan, so Proxy, Big in Japan, or N-Y are your only options. That or you can wait till it comes out for a resale or wait to see if any preowned ones show up on AmiAmi months later.

This.

And you will take pictures of them together as destiny intended!

 

[BGBW]

Only ever bought figures for series I'm familiar with. I consider it one way to support a show I liked.

 

[chrono01]

Not sure why AmiAmi doesn't sell those...

Amakuni do love their exclusives. :/

More so that the GSC one?

I can't say for sure, since GSC's version has yet to release but yes, I do prefer the look/pose of Amakuni's over GSC. It's more faithful to the original artwork, although I don't hate GSC's version. Both look great.

And you will take pictures of them together as destiny intended!

If it is destiny, I must.

 

[StayDead]

Seriously, guys.

You don't even play the game.

I'm waiting for the vita version as constantly vpin'ing is annoying.

 

[Ken]

Give me that battle damage I-168.

I'm so torn. On one hand, ugly Figma joints. On the other hand, best shipgirls.

I don't see Atago and Takao. What are you talking about.

 

[omlet]

I don't see Melons and Meat. What are you talking about.

ew

 

[Ken]

ew

THE BEST.

 

[kewlmyc]

Curse you guys making me look up all these different boatgirls.

It's Pokemon all over again.

 

[omlet]

Your search begins and ends here.

 

[kewlmyc]

Your search begins and ends here.

Well she has the cutest design of all the ones I've seen (which isn't much) that isn't ruined by a tasteless thong.

 

[Freezasaurus]

oh crap, I have to go to Gamestop tomorrow.

Got my Kotobukiya Kurisu and Alter Alvis & Lavie today.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Why not ask her out/start a conversation?

 

[kewlmyc]

Why not ask her out/start a conversation?

Because Freeza's apparently a hustler.

You know, I was never really considering acting on it... It's just an infatuation. It happens. I just hate not having control over how I feel. But now you guys have me second-guessing myself.

The funny part is that when I made the initial post, I was having dinner at a restaurant with a different woman. XD
