pluck my tasty grapes
I saw someone putting amiibo's in a detolf, not with mid tier or high end stuff, just amiibo's.
That has to be a faux pas, like mixing Coke with a Single Malt, or eating pizza with a knife and fork...

Hey now, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Hah. My (4) Amiibos go on the prize/trading figure shelf. Even mixing them in with the SH Figuarts or Nendoroid Nintendo figures would feel off.

Kancolle can pretty dark depending of how you explain the game mechanic. We know for sure that when the ship girl sank they turn into the enemy.
Don't even ask what happen when a ship is dismantled for resources, or sacrificed to upgrade another ship. You also allow to have more than one copy of the same ship girl as long as they are not in the same fleet (hide it from them?).

Do Abyssals eat brains too? The bolded reminded me of -western comic spoiler-
The Walking Dead.

Thats a pretty good price, it certainly looks like it oozes quality from those pics.
Both are fantastic figures. Definitely worth the price.
You have obviously not eaten Chicago Deep Dish
I sort of regret getting the Excellent Model Space Dandy. He's my first non-interactive/non-poseable figure and while he looks pretty good I don't think I'm interested in collecting anything that's not pose-able and larger than a couple inches. Now I'm going to have to try and cancel my 1/8 Kill la Kill Satsuki figure at Amiami.
I can also breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the already limited types of figures I'm interested in (Nintendo characters and old school super robots/Tatsunoko characters) is now much, much smaller.
On the other hand, the SRC Getter-1 and Figuarts Luigi, Play Set A, and Sailor Moon also came in. Getter 1 is amazing, just like the other SRC's I have (what an amazing line!). While Figuarts continue to be pretty crappy but OK in the end. The Figuarts Mario and Luigi are so limited in their articulation but once you get them set up in a good pose they look great. Sailor Moon is all kinds of rough around the edges but once you set her up in a way that hides the figure's flaws she looks pretty good too.

This isn't a faux pas, it's a cardinal sin.
To be fair, some of the Amiibos look great. Kirby, Pikachu, and Yoshi for example. But yeah, feelings on Amiibos aside, they're too tiny for a shelf to be devoted to them.

I'm going to have to demand a figure of this magnificent drill hair.

They haven't taken a dime from me, yet. No boatgirl has. Maybe they never will. :O

Yukimura Nendo complete!
Probably the hardest one to build yet. Doesn't have the traditional stand but one that you have to insert up from behind and below to basically get him to sit on it. Expect his head is stupidly heavy so he's about ready to fall over, lol
Also one of his headbands just refused to fit into the weird hole so that was a struggle.
I like that he has an unique base but I'm probably absolutely terrified to ever move him in case something falls off and I'll never be able to place it back on.

abyss fleet ntr boat girls according to literature
Yeah those old slot in nendo bases are the worst. I propped Luka Megurine and Saber Lion with poster putty to make sure they stay upright.
Also that first KanColle group image :O

No, she's not. Still, don't let it stop you.
How many figures have you bought recently? Slow down there a little.

I dunno, man. I gotta buy that Sideshow Black Cat statue, and she's gonna be about $250 or so.
DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE!
but yeah way too many. Seven of those are preorders at least....
Was more thinking this one:
hello
Soon, you're run out of space to put them, then you'll have to start buying furniture just to put your figures on. Then you're run out of space for the furniture, then start looking for bigger apartments/houses just so you have a place to put more figures. It's quite a conundrum. One reason why I won't accept a one bedroom apartment unless it has a study or a loft or something.
I eat pizza with knife, fork and ketchup. Come at me brah.
I've already ran out of space. Had to clear off room on my bookshelf to put stuff. The stupid boxes take up a ton of space in my closet too. I was looking at shelves the other day, might spring for some soon. I want my figures and Gunpla displayed properly but I'm not that into glass case things. We'll see.
Also really considering cancelling Alter Maki. It looks amazing but fuck it's expensive and was a total impulse purchase.

kewlmyc giving cautionary notes about figure addiction?
It's time to go to bed.
It's time to go to bed.
It's still good advice, in all seriousness. Don't let all the enabling in here make you get too carried away (a little carried away is okay ). The moment you catch yourself regretting making purchases/preorders is the moment you need to hit the breaks and do a little introspection.
Especially for some of you guys newer to the hobby, don't get too caught up in day-one-preordering for things you weren't already waiting on for a while--you'll have time to think about them before preorders and that will be less trouble than canceling orders!
Not trying to be condemning; we just don't want to see you guys burn yourself (and/or your wallet) out and then ditch the hobby out of regret. Everything in moderation
As an side, lol at the amiibo in detolf thing. Maybe I'll get a bucket of army men and set them up in a detolf, too!

You know, I haven't watched this show yet, but I am a big big fan of Space Pirate Cobra, and Bebob and Dandy are inspired heavily by Cobra.
I am afraid that if I start watching this show I am going to go straight to amiami and order those figures, the show definitely looks right up my alley.
Also, after some delays my nuclear haul is finally coming next week, in preparation I went looking for acrylic risers for my Detolf and I was horrified that getting 2 acrylic risers equals a Detolf itself and I am not paying 20$+ for a riser so I went to Dollarama (Canadian equivalent of the Dollar Store) and ended up buying some glasses for like 1.25$ each and I am pretty happy with the result.
These are cheap more than fit the bill, the rest of glasses I bought are waiting for my haul next week.
My problem is that when I get into a hobby I go from zero to a hundred with it haha. I'm already at that point where I regret one pre-order. Still though, super excited for everything else I have coming.It's still good advice, in all seriousness.

I have had tomato soup in a bread bowl before...
Then again so's putting ice in it... Truth be told I'd still be drinking Jack 'n Coke if I didn't move to Scotland... 13 years later and I've still only sampled a 1/4 of all the Whiskey on offer here...
I only have eyes for you
Works well with what your using them for, and Space Dandy's great but don't go in expecting a Cowboy Bebop or Cobra experience, it's more parody then anything else...

Sorry for the late af replies, I was at work
I actually got mine on Mandarake, no idea why it was priced at 10k because she's in pristine condition. Sucks to hear about that blemish though man, is there some what that you can touch it up?
Just over 7k and he's still available!
THOSE MAZINGERS THO
THOSE STARDUST CRUSADERS THO
This display is the fucking greatest GOAT of all time.
I guess I will keep an eye out for another one in that price range because I have no idea how I would get this off without risking ruining her face by trying to do paint touch-up. I tried wet q-tip scrubbing and that did no good so it's seems like a paint problem not just some grime.

They are awesome however collecting them is like being part of a freaking con, you have to buy 2 figures to complete a character since a character without his stand or a stand without his owner feel kind of incomplete, so in that picture there are technically 7 characters but 13 figures in total, damn you Araki!!!
I see, I'll watch it sooner rather than later, is the series over or is it seasonal? Also does anybody know if Space Dandy is available in Canada yet?

Thank you bro, it's always nice and humbling to find people that likes the same series and and hobbies.
Yeah, I've seen worse, but it's right on her face and I can see it from 2-3 feet away if I'm looking for it.
Most other figures in my collection and I wouldn't consider replacing them for something so minor, but it's mai meguca D:- Status
