Well even those are going up. MSRP is $70 now on bishoujos. Though still a bargain compared to the other guys.

If prices keep rising, I'm going to end up buying nothing but bishoujos. I'm not paying $150 a pop for 1/8. But if prices keep rising, the figure market is going to crash when a lot of people are priced out of the hobby either by willingness or means.

Labrys is available now on HS [15,900 yen]:

For that price...I'm passing. They're beginning to get as ridiculous as other manufacturers, but it makes my decision to cut back even easier.

I'm already putting $200 down on Akuma Homura in December, plus I'm thinking on getting the GSC Ninja Turtle collection with will be around the same price (for one) but much better and memorable. Yeah, I think I'll pass and wait to see if it ever drops below 10,000 yen used.

[Barrel Cannon]

Is anyone else disappointed with the base they chose for the jubilee bishoujo. I'm not a big fan of clear bases. Id rather have a solid colored base. The see-through yellow looks a bit tacky

 

[Freezasaurus]

Same here.

Spoiler

I know, shocking.

That's too much for a 1/8 scale. It's even very steep for a 1/7, but I let myself splurge on Himeji. I like her a lot, and I love her base, too. Labrys is probably going to have a fairly standard base.

Chamber is up at Amiami. 15330JPY, May 2015 release. That is one killer price. Will need to think it over.

Why is everything so fucking expensive nowadays? Wasn't getting factories in Japan supposed to make costs go down? That costs more than Riobots, some of the best mecha figures in the business and are around the same size.

I'm in the same boat...I want it and it's not like I haven't spent more on one figure before (looking at you Akuma Homura) but that is still really expensive.

Figure I post here about forwarding service in Japan (no pun intended).

Anyone here got experience with Tenso? I planning to get both light novels and books from Amazon JP and also figurines from Amiami but to ship separately is costly for me.

So I thought of using forwarding service to consolidate all the items so I can cut down on the shipment cost.

Spoiler

Also hi FigureGAF mainly a lurker here and my wallet is nearly dead. /back to doing art commission to pay off this month orders

I'm interested in forwarding services too since Yokatta is taking ages just to reply to a single request.

So, uh...unless Kahotan's announcement was merely a joke, we're getting a Venus de Milo figma.

[Dandy Crocodile]

AmiAmi's got this F/SN Yui Nendoroid up for sale for 36k.
After doing some research to see if they made a pricing error, turns out it's just crazy rare.
I think it's interesting to see stuff like that when it turns up.

I used Tenso to order my Nendoroid Red from Amazon.jp!
They were very fast!
They just required identification with your address on it for legal reasons and proof of residence.
The only downside I noticed was the only shipping option seemed to be EMS, but if that doesn't bother you then I wholeheartedly reccomend them!

AmiAmi goofed on the figure details. Yui's not even a character from F/SN. She's from Koharu Biyori.

Regarding X-Eros Cover Girl, I found another review about her and she looks a lot better in it. Her hair has more of a gradient and not nearly as dark as the previous pictures. Perhaps lighting has something to do with it?

Definitely NSFW

Edit - I removed the link, just in-case it was a bit too "NSFW". I've instead posted a single/updated picture.

Good to see Samus got pushed forward.

Karma naturally dictates that my next preorder figure will be delayed repeatedly.

It certainly looks better than the initial 2ch photos(Obviously the review site has a lot better lighting condition and equipment) But I still think the gradation is nowhere near the original sample.

I do think she will still be a good figure. But the downgrade from sample still hurts.

Yeah, not quite up to the level of the prototype, but at least it's not a flat gray.

Still, I'd have preferred she look identical to the sample images.

and i was making the observation that she didn't have barbie/ken private parts. thought there were indecency laws and what not in japan that applied.

There's quite a few figures that have detail "down there". Mostly from Native and Skytube.

It's not really a selling point for me, since I generally display my figures cast-on.

Thanks for editing out the link, by the way. I'm not sure the level of "lewd" one can post [even with a NSFW warning], so I figured it'd be better to be safe just in-case.

So uh, is anyone picking up Labrys?

I kind of want her but then I kind of ordered that PG Unicorn in December and I don't think Gunpla are good at delaying things.

I'M SO CONFLICTED.

maybe i'll wait for an elphelt figure instead...

Then I saw the price. -_-

There's no possible way she'll make the January release date, though. I mean, this is Alter we're talking about. So if you're worried about it arriving so soon after December's pre-orders, I wouldn't be concerned.

Amagi Brilliant Park - Sento Isuzu

Today they showed sneak peak of the colored version.

I love the character design from the anime so excited. But the figure is based on LN artwork, so not as extreme body as the anime it seems.

 

[Freezasaurus]

What in the fucking fuck!? T.T I have to think on this one.

It's your money, but that much for a 1/8 is ridiculous.

Chris Yukine: Bunny style

From the anime series that has claimed fans all over the world, ‘Senki Zesshou Symphogear’ comes a 1/8th scale PVC figure of Chris Yukine! The figure features Chris dressed up in a bunny outfit, based on an illustration by the character designer and animation director of the series, Satoru Fujimoto! The illustration was used on the cover for the ‘Staff Book’ sold at the Satelight Booth at Comic Market 85.

The original illustration only featured the upper front half of Chris, so Satoru specially drew the remaining areas in order for the full design to be transformed into a figure by sculptor Abira. Each and every change was also supervised by Satoru himself to ensure a faithful rendition of the original! Everything from her curvy bottom, bountiful bosom and long slender legs have been beautifully sculpted for fans to enjoy! Even the slight frown on her face has been faithfully preserved!

Oooooohhh!! (ﾉ*´Д&#65344ﾉ

As if Chris-chan wasn’t already cute enough, she is now coming to us as a 1/7th scale figure in a sexy bunny girl outfit! ♪

Just look at the way her hips are twisted… or that embarrassed look on her face! Not to mention the shiny pink outfit and sexy stockings creating a very sexy appearance!

The figure is based on an illustration by the character designer and animation director of the series, Satoru Fujimoto, and sculpted beautifully into the 3D world by Abira (Purazuma Houriki Mokei)! The figure is released by AQUAMARINE!

Which means of course that as of this month, AQUAMARINE’s products are bring distributed by GOOD SMILE COMPANY!

So let’s get right back onto the figure!

This is how she looks from the back! ♡

From the back you get a good look at her long and curly hair which also features a lovely purple gradient! The hair is also sculpted to match the flow of her twisting hips, adding to the dynamic feeling of the pose! ♪

The stockings are also painted so nicely!
You can tell how soft the skin underneath them is!

The sacred relic ‘Ichii-Bal’ is also included! (in a very comfortable place!)

How is Aquamarine's quality? Also do they usually sell out?

Seems like their qualities are alright saw this comment on one of their figures:

This figure is way over underrated. I know there are complaints about the paint job. But these are really minor when you consider the overall quality of the figure. Not an Alter definitely but closer to a kotobukiya.
Many things in this figure is great, from her melancholic expression to that awesomely sculpted flowing hair and her beautiful leaping posture.
The overall feel that she gives is so unique and special I feel sad that she was not loved by more people.
This figure is easily one of my top favorites.

http://myfigurecollection.net/item/120935
As for selling out or not most of their figure seems to be still in stock/cheaper at least for several months but I have no idea how popular the source material is...
