Nobody is rich enough for this hobby. I mean we paying to get a piece of pvc melted too look like fictional characters that have no other use than to make you regret buying them and gather dust on a shelf...
I need to buy more tho.

You sounded just like my aunt in the bolded. She doesn't mind me buying figures (my money), but she does give her opinion sometimes.
So far I haven't regretted anything, though there are three specific figures that if I had thought twice I wouldn't have pre-ordered.

Perfect description of this hobby.
Still don't regret my bishoujos, though. Or Kamael and Kotobukiya Squid Girl.
Regret everything else, tho
Oh no I think I might order this figure to accompany the Persona 3 protagonist.
Do you guys think this figure is cheap? Is there a better one from another manufacturer? It's only 3000 yen on Mandarake.

Life Pro Tip: If you wan't to save money for figures, ask your family for clothes and food at christmas./birthdays. Don't ask them to buy figures for you they might get the wrong one or a fake one because its cheaper!

This is why I always ask for money.
"- Hey, your birthday is coming, what do you want?
- Money"
"- Christmas is near, do you want something?
- Money"
"- I'm going to the supermarket, do you want something?

The truth that we've been blind to is that figure companies are gangsters. Alter, GSC and Kotobukiya are the new crime families.
least megahouse is still cool.

Will we get an anime series with Alter-chan, GSC-kun and Kotobukiya-chan where we'll watch as they rise on their ranks?
Ooh a Chain Chronicle player! Add me up : Friend ID:133511322
Not a fan of Aludra but there's SO many characters that would make great figures. There's tons of great designs in that game and for once the men aren't forgotten (though I feel there's less male characters than female).
I'm not a fan of figuarts. The quality is pretty bad for the money. I had the Chie and Yukiko ones but sold them, and will never buy any again. I have prize figures that are better quality for less money.

I need more Pokemon figures, even if they just make the popular ones (Charizard, event mons, etc).
I would start collecting plushies if they were in stores that I could order overseas.

Oh hi, another Chain Chronicle player? Add me!
And that's generally the case with these gacha games. Less males than females, though males are somewhat viable as units at least.

I've been watching Gundam Reconguista G and I would buy a Steer figure so hard, hnng.
Either her, Mick Jack, or Mashner. They are all awesome. Aida in the red dress (not her suit, the dress) would be instabuy too.

There's one by Megahouse that I have but it runs for 10k yen nowadays so it's pretty expensive. I have no experience with that one.

There's a 22cm prize figure Yu that's turned up on NY for ¥3800:

Timely.
Unfortunately I don't think G-Reco is very popular :/ would love an Aida figure though.

Yep I know, my friends all hate it (and are starting to hate me because I liked it, haha).
Nice to see fellow Chain Chronicle players here. I'm right in the middle of something, but I'll add you both as soon as I can.
Oh, before I forget, it seems Amakuni messed up Beelzebub. Well, more accurately, her base.
Remember 12+ months ago when she was shown with "GULT" on her base but then fixed to "GLUT" [for "Gluttony"] instead? Well....it seems the final product has "GULT". :/
They will apparently be shipping out sticker replacements for everyone who ordered her from them, but since I used a proxy [BIJ] I'm not sure how this will work. BIJ hasn't shipped mine yet, so maybe they're going to wait for the replacement sticker first before sending her out? I'm not sure.
Still, slightly disappointing to see.

On the plus side, the base is probably the thing ill least look at, with that crazy orange color.
But yeah, if shes like the other sins.. Ill just display her on the side of the base with her name on it, instead of the sin.
Honestly, the cast-off is there but I won't be using it.
As you said, she's a cutie, that's why I purchased her.
Yeah, I might display her name-side instead of sin-side out, or put her in the back so you can't see/read GLUT.
I'm still hoping BIJ can manage a replacement, though.
I have people in the house that play with my figures.
I don't think they'd like it. :lol
I'd rage on anyone who decided to "play with" my figures. O_O
The neighbor's kids love my Nendos! I gave one of my older ones to them. One's only a baby, though, so she don't get to touch 'em.
Ringing in the new year with a bit of hometown.
Speaking of hometown, seeing this on the front page of MFC made me realize how great of a job they did on her face.
7 sins gals are too lewd but I want to give in so bad.
I'm doing good in terms of selectivity, I can't stray from that now.
I won't.

I paid about that much for my Alter Selvaria figure. She goes for a good bit more than that now.
It's not their fault they're lewd, they're just drawn that way! And Mammon is fantastic. Hell, the whole collection is, engrish included.
Accepted and OMG level 60?!?
Yeah, I grinded out her levels pretty quickly, haha.
She definitely helps for clearing the wave on bosses, though.
YUUUUS, Kongo wooooweee, I can finally have her yay. She is also one of those figures that was annoying cause I ordered her from amiami so it's like "when am I going to have to pay for her!!!' Now I finally know.

Nanami delay am confirmed?
Allow me to rephrase, too lewd for me to comfortably display them publicly.
Yet I have MegaHouse's Amazon lol
Glad that Satan is no longer up for pre-order on Ami, eliminated any temptation for me to plunge into the collection.
Yes. They did so last night as well. There was at least 8 pages worth of stuff.
They do so every night to some degree.
