Are your finances in order?
If so, buy it.
When you are old and can't work and welfare can't support you, you can sell your figures for food and medication. Better to regret having to do that at the end of your life than go through the rest of your life regretting that you never got them in the first place.
At least, that is my justification for this:
Well, that and the fact that I finally decided to not preorder God Eater Ciel after all.

NOT
;_;
Now to just find a non-bootleg maiko Madoka (I have figinstock alerts set but if anyone knows of where I can still get one of these please let me know)... RIP my wallet.
Just secured a NECA 7" Dog Alien via TRU. Missed the pre-order at BBTS, which was a bit cheaper ;_:
But it is beautiful. And this is my favorite Alien design.
The epic Figma Guyver 1 is supposed to come out this month. I have been waiting years for this guy. Had him on pre-order with BBTS, since day 1.

Can't believe that Detective Conan Edogawa hasn't gone up to preorder yet. Are those Gintama mini things up yet?

Maybe get one instead of both?
Decided to cancel two of my November preorders (Vertex Kawoshin and the Union Creative mensHdge Levi). I was just looking at the total of my order and thinking that these two really won't be worth much aftermarket, considering how poor the latest pictures are. I might try to pick them up for cheap after release, but probably not since I don't really have the space.
Plus with the huge influx of CCS merchandise I really need to tone back everything else to keep up.

You'll be so regretting it when those two hit the bargain bin in a month or two. A lot of MegaHouse stuff does. The Dragon's Crown ladies are a minority.
That's a good point. And if they're not exclusives they probably won't be too hard to find, especially since that show supposedly isn't really that popular in Japan, I think?

Already jumped on them myself, but that they can still be pre-ordered this close to release might mean they can be picked up cheaper later... I just want mine before the holidays, and they won't be in the bargain bin until next year...
If your hesitating, let 'em go...

Preview: Yamato Girls Collection - Space Battleship Yamato 2199: Yuki Mori (Pilot Suit Ver.) 1/8 Complete Figure by MegaHouse
This is Meshi, here to serve up another heaping helping of figure previews. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 went back to the future to give modern flair to the old school sensibilities of the all-time classic anime. Today's figure in particular has benefited from this rebirth--the last 40 years have brought amazing leaps in moe technology! Let's dig in!

Hyahoooooooooooooo!!! (´□｀｡
Chanmio with a lovely smile in her sexy white and orange outfit! ♥︎
She should be reaching anyone who ordered her shortly!! I still cant get enough of those little star accessories from her belt and other areas! The detail on the outfit is amazing!
Not to mention her adorable winking expression! (*´Д｀
Honestly, I used to be really strict about which figures I bought. If the figure didn't fall within the rules completely I'd pass. But I've come to regret not buying enough of them that I just purchase them anyway now. :/Are your finances in order?

Thanks to my pretty good financial situation in the last year or so, this is becoming me, too... Well, there are much worse things I could be wasting money on. This isn't a cheap hobby but it's pretty benign, all things considered.
Also, please let me know if you notice a maiko Madoka in stock at that place you found yours!
Can't be that surprising can it? She is getting a re-release after all.

I have a fetish for many things.
Nice art.
She's being re-released, that's why.
Yeah my financials are good, I'm more worried about space honestly. I'll probably take Freeza's advice and wait a couple of months to see if they hit the bargain bin.

I'll be surprised if they don't. And the Space Dandy figures look pretty plain compared to other figures MH puts out.
I think MegaHouse may just be flooding the market with too many figures, and that's why a lot of them hit the bargain bin. After release, MH figures hit 5-6k within a couple months. This may also be why MegaHouse has started to move to 1/10 scale for some series.

To me it looks like she's sucking her lips in, I like it, but I was planning on going with the tongue out look myself, more playful. Then again I'm going for the orca toys Sansei Muramasa, the one everyone else was calling duck faced, I'm the weird one...

One has her tongue sticking out. The other looks like the smile was literally carved into her face.

If you're looking for Wario, looks like some guys on Amazon have him in stock for $12.99. Not too bad considering how much of a hassle it'll be to hunt him down.

I also found these new Poké Doll plushies at Walmart of all places. Even did a huge comedic double take in awe.

Are we suddenly back to fat Pikachu?

He's not fat, he's big cheeked!
I'm scared that we're suddenly going to get an influx in Poké Doll plushies. I feel obligated to buy them all because it makes my room a Secret Base.

I think they were $12.97 each, give or take a few cents. Way too cute to pass up. Strange to find them in Walmart first.
... I think I need to go to Walmart... Those are so friggin adorable.
You could check out Pokemon Center as well.
Dunno what Wal-Mart has, but there're a bunch of different ones.
Did they have standard plushies too?
Might start getting there instead of Pokemon Center.

I already started to have some (bought a Chespin when I got X/Y) but I been holding off on making a Pokemon Center order cause I fear how many I would end up getting. >_>

They only had those four in a hanging box labeled "Pokémon Center". Like the ones LEGO uses for their Minifigure Series. Squirtle seemed like the hardest to find.
I'm so sorry, Figure GAF. I never wanted any of you high-classed Figuarts-level aficionados to think about going to Walmart for toys.
I only go for exclusives and other rare toys. >____>

POP figures are not rare or exclusive.

what is a POP! figure I have never heard of it WHOOPS HOW DID THIS LINK GET HERE
I go every once in a while because our local Walmarts put out a lot of waves of figures/Hot Wheels early. It doesn't feel great, but you gotta do what you gotta do for Transformers and the like.
I mean, in terms of cost, it's honestly not that bad.
Far cheaper than scales and Figmas/Nendoroids.
I'm just freaking out over space.
At the rate I'm going, I'm probably gonna have to throw out my bed next year.

I mean luckily, I only really want a Goomy one and maybe an Espurr one so far.
It just feels like Nendo, once I get one, I don't know when I'll stop.
Whoa... they are finally being released in other retailers now??
