So tempted to grab the Toys Works figures for Strike Witches:

Which version? Curiosity piqued.

Sorry, are you interested in the Yoko figure? If so, it's this one

Manufactured by Alter, came out July 2009 for around 9k, goes for 25k+ to 30k these days. Sold mine for a hair over 25k.

Oh dammit. I might need these.

 

[Ryuuroden]

I bought my house solely for the crawlspace. I will never run out of storage.

And when you someday go get the boxes you find 5000 Brown recluse spiders, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hahaha, you heard about that, right?

 

[Baka Zeitgeist]

Oh lawd I have a problem. In my effort to do more research into that Cyril figure to see if I really wanted her enough (a resounding yes), I discovered Yamato's Iris figure. It also just so happened that Midtown comics had her in stock and well...fuck.

I passed on both and regret it, now they both sit in my wish list as I look for an opening in my pre-orders to pick them up. The only reason I passed on them was having too many things on pre-order at the times they were released. Pre-orders are gonna have to go...

Now I know I've mentioned it before, but I really need to get rid of some figure boxes at this point. For realsies. those of you that toss figure boxes, what criteria do you use to decide which ones to toss?

So far I just toss bishoujo boxes. If I didn't need them for moving house I'd definitely toss everything under £100, I'd only really keep the high end stuff.

Anyway my loft's done, and my boxes have started making there way from my mother-in-laws house to mine.

It's like moving in all over again, hope to be done by the end of the week...

I'm damn glad to live in a country where these don't exist.

Haha she's a cool figure, wouldn't have bought her in the 1st place if I didn't think so. But I think it was more the rarity that attracted me. She looked cool, but not holy grail cool. But I'm weird I guess, I love my Canti more than anything! That's my type of figure. She was alright, but I wouldn't hold it against someone if they loved her. Just not a big Yoko fan myself in any case.

I ah see, to each their own. Personally, I usually wouldn't buy revealing or lewd figures, in fact I think I own more robot figures than human characters. For me though I would buy MB Yoko (providing I have enough money) in a flash because Gurren Lagann is my all time favourite anime.
If I didn't like Kill La Kill as much as I do, there would be no way in hell that I would have ordered Phat Satsuki. It's gonna be awkward if my parents see it (I still live with them), but she's an awesome character from a great show.

Same, I'm not into voluptuous figures but hey I own the Morrigan Max factory. I don't have this fixed rule that I never break. It's just tastes and what you're going for in regards to what kind of collection you want etc. I know people who just buy Asuka figures for example or Gundam units.

Most of my figures I own are female humans sure, but that has a lot to do with the market and what's being made but also the fact that it's easier to say compare Yoko figure #1 to Yoko figure#2 where as comparing say Gundam units is more tricky or the million different Eva Units from Bandai or Revoltech or the rebuild films etc.

Yoko is a nice figure in terms of sculpt and paint and design. She looks badass with her torn up jacket and her superconducting sniper rifle. Yoko doesn't wear much, but the figure imo is super tasteful all things considered. Just not OMG amazing in my opinion, but I did like her. Sad to see her go since she was rare but oh well who knows maybe our paths will cross again.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

ok so I want the EVA racing nendos but I have a dilemma.

I was about to order them off GS online but RightStuf.com just put them up for preorder for $64.24 (shipped) a piece. That comes out to $128.48 (actually $115.63 since I get a 10% discount). From GS it will be about ~102ish after shipping. However, that it going off the yen value today. Anyone think the yen will get stronger by next May? lol

You gon' get mugged.

 

[omlet]

Who was it that was looking for Alter Sora? Midtown is still taking orders. Only $160! XD

That was me, but no way; if I wanted to pay more than amiami was asking I would have preordered at Hobby Search for only a few hundred yens moar weeks ago after amiami stopped taking preorders the first time.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Still feels weird being able to look over and see Kyoko physically in the room. She really looks great.

I just noticed that Titan head, haha.

 

[Busaiku]

Man, I always suck at setting up Nendoroids and Figmas...

 

[Ryuuroden]

Hahaha, you heard about that, right?

yeah man, gave me the willies

 

[Bombless]

Gave in and ordered figma Mutsu off GSC's online shakedowntore. Can't pass up on that smoke heart, no sir.

 

[omlet]

Welp.

Willpower defeated, thanks a lot Elixir._.

I will justify this by saying it's a late present from some of the cash I got from my grandad a couple weeks ago for my birthday. If only he knew what I was actually spending it on...

I've heard a lot of bad things about the Totori figure but for that price I'm taking the chance, and mainly I just want the Chim! Chiiiiiim! Chimu! Chimchimumu!

 

[dakkumauji]

Who's ready for more Senbonzakura.

 

[Freezasaurus]

yeah man, gave me the willies

That shit has always been my worst fear since I saw Arachnophobia when I was a kid. It's amazing no one died.

Mefmera is up at HS for 10.6k

She's gorgeous. I really like how the bases of each figure in the line match in style.

Cannot......resist......

Ears....... so squee.

Must.......pre-order.........

 

[Einbroch]

I think she'll hold her value, so preorder away. The other figure might not as much, but this one's a cat girl from Alter.

Do eet.

 

[johnsmith]

Too expensive for an impulse preorder for me.

 

[kewlmyc]

Cute, but I'm not even remotely familiar with the series. No thanks.

 

[Caladrius]

I've never wanted a scale figure, buuut...

No no no no I need to find work to appease daddy dearest beforehand.

Yeah, I didn't order the other one because she looks like a fairly generic female adventurer. Mefmera looks pretty unique.

One day they will release the Senbonzakura Meiko and I will weep for not getting the others beforehand.

I like how you're lamenting it while you can still prevent those events from coming to pass.

The completionist in me is lamenting, Main me doesn't give a damn about the rest of the cast.

Nendo Rin is April. Noooo. Racing Miku is April.

APRIL DEATH MONTH

 

[Bombless]

2 nendos is death? By that measure unit every month of mine is an apocalypse.

 

[Einbroch]

Racing Miku da scale.

And we're just now seeing March Nendos.

It's not a death month yet. I just feel it will be.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Nendo Rin is April. Noooo. Racing Miku is April.

Hahahaha. Himeji-sama + Racing Miku tag team say hi.

Except Max Factory shipping on time would be lololololol

I haven't done a tally of preorders for the remainder of the year and 2015 yet. I really should be doing that soon.

 

[Freezasaurus]

oh man, I know we saw some of these already, but so many new Figuarts Zero.

Anna and Elsa Figuarts? I'm down. Also in for Starsha. HHHHHNNNNGGGG

 

[Busaiku]

Glad they're doing a double pack.
Saves about $15.

Probably the only time Frakken will get a figure but I don't have any interest in Figuarts Zero.

[Toki767]

Amazon Japan already shipped my Belldandy + Holy Bell statue. They're using DHL and it should be here by Friday already. Way cheaper shipping/speed than anything Amiami or Mandarake does.

 

[Busaiku]

Yeah, they're great generally.
The only problem is they don't ship a lot of stuff.

DHL will likely charge you handing fees though.
