I don't know about those two. You right that they have pretty unique designs, but I not sure I like them much. I actually like Wo-class a bit, but it seems her nendoroid was exclusive, and it been bit harsh in the aftermarket, and no scale figures for me.

Amatsukaze figma is coming in march...I have no figures scheduled for march. And that garterbelt... jesus christ.
Too bad she's moefied, if she was older like Musashi...oh boy.

First of the 4 figures I ordered
I probably wont open it until I can get myself a Detolf from Ikea.

Srsly. Musashi is the only boat girl I've seriously considered. I might still get her because dat dark skin.

If I ever make a bet about buying shipgirls, the day I will lose is when they announce a Bismarck and a Musashi figma.
I would gladly put on a embarassing avatar for one of them, no shame.

Put figma shipgirls into the figma tank = world implodes?
It's the GSC shop version. You can tell by the picture of the box. It has a slip cover over it with special artwork. Several (all?) of the kancolle nendos got this treatment.

Mandarake: ねんどろいど 加賀
Amiamia: nendoroid kaga
FWIW she's like $45 on amazon with free shipping which is a better price than an unopened one from mandarake if you're in the US. You could wait for an opened one but you still won't be saving much.
What does this mean? :v All of kancolle is moeified.
Fixed that for you.

I almost posted an Archer gif here but it would be too crass, even for me.
I guess lolified would be better then? I mean that she's too young for me, I like my figures a bit more mature, age does wonders to a woman's body.
Don't know, but you bet that if I have the money I'll do that.
Unfortunately you're right. But I plan on staying strong.
AHAHAHHAHAHA, wow, I was fucking mind blown at how atrocious that is.
Gotcha. Well, most of them look at least like teens to me (with a few exceptions, but Amatsukaze is not one of them) so I'd still nitpick that choice of words, too, but I do get what you mean now and this is not the place for me to start a drawn out war about semantics.
lol no ;_;
I'm sorry
Better set up that figinstock notification, then! It will be faster than a GAF PM, I'm sure.

I love this figure, it was the first one I displayed once we got into our house
The SDCC exclusive old school costume is beautiful too
I've seen random persona 4 figures but does anyone have their own personal list of the ones they really like? I thought the swimsuit ones for chie and mitsuru posted a few pages back were fantastic but they're sold the hell out(I didn't know those blogs existed to taunt me)
We only have the Elizabeth and an aigis nendo but really would like to get a whole bunch, but not sure of the quality of some of the releases I can find on eBay and stuff
What kind of lighting are you using for your Detolfs?

No problem, I understand what you're saying. I'll just say "too young for my taste" then, no predefined name.
¯\_(ツ
_/¯Those are DIODER light strips from IKEA. They are basically made with DETOLF in mind (though of course you could use them for other things). Here's the post detailing how I set them up.
They are a softer white LED light. Most of my recent pictures in this thread have been taken with just them (and room ceiling light) as the light source because I haven't gotten a good light setup for my tent yet.
I have an extra detolf under my bed that I will put together someday. I have shelving space out the wazzoo right now so no need for it now. If I did put it together, I would use it. It's just I do not want to further clutter my area with displays at the moment. Right now I have 5 and 1/2 Vitsjo's, 1 Metal shelving unit (size of a Vitsjo), 1 Full size Billy with Glass, 2 Detolfs (1 in use), 1 Hemnes Bookcase (need a second one, books are overflowing on the one I have), and a 6 foot by 6 foot DVD unit.
My figures are relegated to 1 Vitsjo, 1 Billy, and shared space with LEGO in the detolf. The rest of the shelving is for LEGO minus the Hemnes and DVD unit.
Part of my main reason for not buying a detolf is also because I don't think it would fit in my Corolla. They seem pretty long.
I drive a compact car and a detolf will fit in it no problem if I fold the back seat down. The boxes are about 6 feet long so they go from the back of the trunk to the back of the front passenger seat.
Not sure folding my back seat is an option since it's not exactly a hatchback or anything.

It's $65, you're not breaking the bank.
I have a Ford Focus non hatchback and it all fits in the car if I put down the back seat. You don't need a hatchback to slide something in. The Detolf box is really thin, less than 2 inches thick. Just check the Ikea site for package measurements and then measure your car. Ikea makes everything really transportable (before its put together) for a reason. The reason being, unless your lucky, you usually have a few hours drive to get to your closest Ikea.

Same here >.<
My seats don't fold down in my Evo but luckily I can just go and borrow my parents van to go and pick one up.
I need to slow down on my purchases >.<

Nah, just buy more detolfs. You'll be fine.
Last two deluxes of the Transformers Combiner Wars Wave 1 came from Amazon today!
Individual bots are all about as good as they can be. The Aerialbots are less interesting designs to me, but they do work here. Firefly is easily my favorite because I super dig his head design and colors, but most people I see don't like him as well as the others so what do I know? Dragstrip is inherently way more interesting than the Aerialbots. He has way more personality. His colors and transformation are also far more interesting.
And here's Superion himself! Well, mostly. Dragstrip's standing in for Air Raid who'll be hitting next month in Wave 2. Superion is perhaps the best 5 piece combiner Hasbro has ever done. He has a great amount of detail and a surprising amount of posability. The upper body is wonderfully posable with almost every joint you could want. Great shoulder ratchets and the leg joints of the individual bots work great as elbows. Lower body is more limited due to the lack of ankle tilts and where the ratchets fall. It's hard to pose the lower part without doing a "Superion stepping up onto something" pose.
Positives:
-Great amount of paint.
-Super nice plastic quality, the likes of which I haven't seen on TF's in a while.
-Fun transformations between bot, limb and vehicle modes
-Good posability for a combiner
-Really nice classic, but still updated to be a bit more modern head sculpt for Superion.
Negatives:
-Lower body of the combiner is a bit weird on the posability end.
-Individual aerialbots are basically identical in terms of transformation.
-Individual bot weapons do nothing in combined mode
-Legs are a bit stubby, leading to a some gorilla style proportions
-Combiner pegs on the individual figures are different colors, which leads to a bit mishmash in color scheme that sort of bugs me.
-Wish Silverbolt's fists had a compartment they could fold into in torso mode, as they just kind of hang on the back of the legs.
On the Side:
-Alpha Bravo replacing Slingshot has bugged a lot of people. He's a really great figure, so I don't really care. Creates nice variety among the team too. I also dig all the remold potential. Easy to see Blades, Vortex or even Blast-Off coming from that toy. I can see why it bugs some, but I'm fine with it.
That may seem like a lot of negatives, but they're extremely minor nitpicks for me. He's an incredible toy, way better than Hasbro has been doing for a some time. If you're at all a fan of Transformers, you should get these guys. He's just so fun. Cannot wait to complete the Stunticons now.

lol just decided to buy this >.<
Oh fuck yeah, HHHHHNNNNNNNGGGG
Mine should be shipping next week, since I ordered from a domestic retailer. If her packaging is anywhere near the size of Kotobukiya's 1/6 Batman, international shipping will be murder.
Ah, yeah. My back seat doesn't fold down so it's probably going to be an issue for me. I guess I could possibly fold down my passenger seat and just see it'll fit that way. I'm lucky enough to live about 15 minutes from an IKEA, although I do have to cross a bridge to get there.
Yeah for the price Amazon has (plus I still have student prime for a bit more) on it, think that pretty good for a awesome looking nendoroid and a table.
And on different note since I planning to look into Snow Miku 2015, I just want some clarification. So for preorders on the GSC store, you reserve at the time slot given but you can pay for it whenever till they start shipping out the figure is that correct? Does this applies to the Snow Mikus, or do you have to pay right there and then before the end of the preorder time slot?

Welp I did it.
Ordered Lynette to come in with Raiden at the end of the month, and I managed to find another Autumn Miku lottery prize figure on Mandarake. I feel dirty.

You should. Not as much as if you had ordered Lucchini, though.

Kaga ordered! Should arrive by Thursday.
Now I want to see the show now which will then probably push me into getting more of the figures!Nah I not going to let that happen.
I have 6 Nendos already and that was before the show even aired.
Many more on order too

If I had the money I would get OrchidSeed on my speed dial, just to get every figure that they come up with.

Admittedly, if I didn't live with my parents I would probably buy the Chouhi Ekitoku.
