My recent impulse purchases were amiibos, because 1k yen.
Yep.

Got these in the mail today.
Be careful, I heard the Phat Company Metallica's hat falls off easily.
You don't like the Queen's Gate one either? I think that one looks rather nice.

Hot glue is the only option.

well, not 100% Noel, but that Alter Memory Mu-12 Figure(kinda nsfw) looks pretty fine, quite lewd yeah, but still good looking

It certainly does. The PC figure handles the hat much better but her supports are kind of iffy. I'm not really comfortable putting them in my display case since the door opens very violently. I may have to set them up in another room. They do like nice though.

Nice hats!

I wanted a Clear nendoroid (Dramatical Murder) or a Makoto Yuki nendoroid (Persona 3) but they're not one of the choices
So I voted for Scaled Clear instead, even though Chrom and Syaoran are winning. rip.
Also, you guys here are some rich people. My January orders came up to 21k, including shipping. That's the most I've ever spent on figures
in a year

Think you can comment what figure you want to see on the poll and Mamitan will put it into the poll, but this is more or less for fun/market research; so expect certain results but whichever is winning/wins won't be guaranteed to be manufactured.

how are you guys not voting for a scaled Yoko? Smh.
Maybe, but what most of the list is is write-in options from the "Other" option that people selected. Once the poll hit 50 options, though, that went away, so people who are getting to it late can only vote for what's there and can't add new write-ins.

Ooh...gotta vote for the idolmaster nendos
B-But Yuno Gasai figma! D:
I did comment, but I'm not expecting anything though.
I rather have Scaled Kamina instead. Or older Simon.

They should ban all gaming slang instead.
Edit: I am enjoying the amusing replies in that thread.

Help, Figure GAF!
My order came in with the Sentinel Hurricane Polymar, D-Arts Venusaur, and the Sentinel Iron Man. Mixed reactions to both Sentinel products, of which I'll go into detail in a following post. But for now, I need some advice from you guys.
The Iron Man figure seems to be defective. His head, which does not swivel independently from the neck, was not put on straight. With some light pressure I wasn't able to fix it, and with the electrical components running up the neck it's not something I want to mess around with. If I was to guess, I'd say his head is about 10 degrees off from the center, which is enough to really bother me, especially with the front of his neck being so defined. For a 15K yen figure I don't think I should be okay with this. Before I contact Amiami I just want to find out what you guys think I should do. I'd honestly prefer to just send it back and get a refund instead of trying to get a different one (or have this one fixed).

Paid my AmiAmi invoice last night for him. Haven't received the shipping email, but I'm guessing he'll be shipped out soon.

I would contact amiami about it. If they can't help, I'd try to contact the makers.

Hm. Okay, yeah. Seems my Snake Nendo is in stock. Waiting on Batwoman. And they still haven't moved the Kill Me Baby figure out of the order yet, as it got delayed until Feb.
We'll get a re-release of Saber Alter that's part of the Wonderful Hobby Selection product line. She'll come with shinier paint, and retail for 20,000+ yen.For all the bros (or sistas) that voted for Saber Alter, I'll buy you a drink if we ever meet irl.
Nothing's going to result from this poll, is it?
Just watch.

If they actually make a Yuno Gasai figma I'll buy one for everybody here who voted for it.
You'll get permabanned.
If you just ignore their payment request they will likely ban your account.
If you preorder figures you aren't 100% sure you want, you're gonna have a bad time.
Also, if you get banned I believe they ban you by your address.
I didn't pay for my September order last year, I prioritized something else over it, and I wasn't banned. Heck, they even took a cancellation request from me for one of my items in this month's order.
But you contacted them, I'm guessing? Meaning there's a difference in telling them you need to cancel something and simply blowing off the payment request.
In either case, one offense probably won't get you a ban but it would probably get you on The List, assuming Amiami has one.

Finally.
Now where am I going to put him?
It's time to get a taller shelf...
If I were you I'd email Koto and see if I could get that $55.99 price, and if not then I'd work out which one would arrive first, then which was cheapest and then determine if that price difference was worth the wait or not... You waited this long for her, so go with the cheapest option...
There are statue and 1/6 scale forums on the net with people that spend what I do in a year, per month, my bills aren't that bad...
I checked out alot of picture of Saotome Maria and I hate to say it, but I'm sooooooo glad I canceled... My major issue is her underwear are so transparent she might as well not have them on, I guess I do have limits to what I'd display. The other issue is it looks nothing like what they showed off:
If anyone wants to see her in all her glory, look her up on MFC, it's just too NSFW to link too...
Never had to deal with a defective item from Amiami, but all you can do is contact them and tell them what is wrong and and see what they can do for you. That said looking forward to your impressions, sounds like they didn't live up to your expectations and i'd like to hear what's wrong for future reference...
