I ordered Link Nendoroid from Amiami as well hope I don't get custom stung ;__; kind of the reason I stopped using Amiami as brilliant they are T-T
That is absolutely epic.
Those are really awesome as well! I'm super jealous of that Eddie Riggs.

There's some on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00I8M6SCQ/
You need to be really really careful when choosing somebody to buy it from though since there's counterfeit ones.
Where does one go to buy this:
I don't even know who it is, but I love how it looks.
i preordered it from BiginJapan originally.
It's the latest one for her on MFC.
Ugh what a weekend. So many things I wanted to do, but didn't out of laziness. I still haven't taken pictures of my Halloween display, and the longer I wait, the less relevant the pictures become. I'll probably still leave it up through November, though. It's pretty fall-themed.
I got Metallia mostly repaired, complete with rods in both of her legs, but her scuffed-up hat is a complete lost cause. The finish is matte, which makes it impossible to take off paint scuffs without removing the purple airbrushed on. It's going to have to be repainted. I would just display her without the hat, but the hat was like 70% of the reason I bought her in the fist place. Sigh. If she bargain-bins, I might just buy another one.
Reasons:
-From my favorite series in the world
-It's almost 14 years old, and still in near perfect condition
-It's expensive (retailed for 18,000yen, bought her for around 25,000yen) and fairly rare, and remains the only polystone figure I've bought from Japan that arrived unbroken

Bro on top of buying that read it if you haven't yet. Download the Viz app and start at the beginning.

Great-looking figure. Perhaps a candidate for the museum putty treatment though.

I'm scared! And HOLY CRAP at the amount of little doodads that came with this thing, the pommel comes off the sword! There are like a million hands! I am nowhere near dexterous enough to assemble it, I feel like a bull in a china shop...
It's kinda awesome.

WW Link is my first Nendo as well, but it hasn't come in yet. Your post is scaring me.

Got my ArtFX+ Rocket Raccoon w/Groot base in the mail today. Holy shit, was the pricing ridiculous. He was like $45-$50 for a figure that's not even 4.5" to the top of Rocket's head.
He's cool. but man.

This reaffirms my opinion that 1/10 is a fucking shit scale. I only ordered it because I was on a Guardians of the Galaxy high.
Hype is a cruel mistress.

Wow that looks incredible. On par with the 1/8th scale Ultimate Madoka.

My Ryuuko prize figure showed up today out of the blue (I didn't even realize it had shipped!) This is one of the two (Satsuki being the other) that HLJ screwed me out of when they canceled my pre-order. I managed to snag them from BiJ, and Ryuuko is out! She arrived today to my surprise since they never sent me a shipping notice.
Quick cell phone pics:
She's bigger than I expected, about 7-8", similar to the Bulma prize figure that came earlier in the week. Overall detail is good for such a cheap figure. Her hair is relatively undetailed and has a pretty bad seam and there's some random tiny paint splotches on parts of her clothes. The scissor base is freely placeable anywhere, and the scissor itself has a nice metallic coat of paint.

Shit is she still available to buy? HLJ screwed me over too.
Eh, it's mostly Freeza driving himself into a frenzy and regretting it after the fact. He does that a lot
That Ryuuko looks good from a distance.

She's not.
I set up in-stock notifications on Big In Japan's website, and had to try 4 or 5 different times to catch them before the sold out again.That's a good way of putting it. As long as you don't inspect her too closely, she does look pretty great. Sadly it may be the best figure we ever get of her standard outfit, since the big scale PVC companies seem focused w/ the skimpier battle versions.

Chocolate Alleyne doesn't have pink nipples like the limited edition...
Why did I look that up? Now I want it ;_;
October nearly killed me. I really need to stop being lazy and sell the stuff I don't want anymore.

My Momohime figure, I love taking pics of it. Here is one I shot around the time I got it.

Was lucky with my last order from AmiAmi, a Ryuuko nendo, so I'm semi optimistic it'll ariive here with no additional cost.

That is a really fantastic photo!
i put them in a large box (Ive got those exact figures as well) and keep them away from heat and damage
Honestly she is still worth it. Its a great sculpt and her colors are absolutely beautiful.
the main flaw is the hair molding/painting but only directly on top.
my figure had some paint errors but thats hit or miss. I took a small exacto blade and scraped away the white paint and the underlying pvc is a similar purple to the painted skirt so it actually blended ok.
Looks much better now.
While it's not necessarily my favorite figure (which would probably be GSC's Distant Avalon Saber Lily), and the source is something I have zero attachment to, GSC's Happy Wedding Miura Azusa is almost certainly the rarest, the one I paid the most for, and the one I longed for for the longest (due to the cost):

My Shiro should be here in a day or two, so I'm interested to see if the paint thing is widespread or not.
Thanks for the pic and summary. I still haven't paid for my shipping...was going to cancel it but your pics look nice. I would have thought my PayPal invoice would have been void my now. No idea.
Didn't pay for my AmiAmi order for Link nendo too...I've been a wreck recently lol.

Sega makes awesome prize figures. Well worth the prices they charge.

I know that feeling, too much stuff not enough space, and if you check the prices and see how much they go for it's hard to not want to sell things no matter how much you like 'em. Case in point my 1/4 Enterbay Joker is starting to reach sell for £600 and if it goes any higher I might have to sell it.
Well to me a grail is something I don't own, but want badly, so my holy grail is this:
I wasn't collecting statues at the time of release but now that I've started it eats at me that I don't have her. I grew up reading my dad's B&W comic magazines, Conan, Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella. Jose Gonzales is why I'm an artist, and everything I strive to do with my art can be dated back to him, and her, so it's probably the only figure on the market that I feel a deep need for, and I don't have her cause I won't buy her until I sell a single painting to cover the cost. I'll probably never actually pull that off though, so it will remain elusive and just out of reach...
Yeah it looks nice. Total came to 2670Yen with delivery...but still not sure if I'll pay. I'll probably just end up waiting until the invoice is void and I'll shrug. Money issues so bad I have to stop and think about a 2k figure, how the mighty have fallen.

OH MY GOD so amazing!
Since I'm too lazy to post my own pic:
It will never be removed from my "main display".
I...I can't just pick one... ._.
Well, okay, I guess I can. Ultimate Madoka.
Not my pics since I don't have a real camera...
Runner ups are Twintails Olivia (released this summer) and Akuma Homura (scheduled for December):
...I guess there is something in common with these...
