Glad to hear it was still available! That's an amazing price considering what those people on Amazon were asking for it.
I love that KanColle Fubuki figure. Really wish I had more space in my room.

Okay episode 4, I'll buy a Kongo Nendo.
What? Sold out everywhere?
Lame.

This still looks like it'll be the best Sinon.
The Kotobukiya has mixed reviews on MFC.
Also I need to stop seeing those LL Nendo Petites. I decided not to get them and need to stick to that choice...

Just saw Kancolle episode 4. I prayers were answered by the admiral.
Also, I need a Kongou nendo now.
Yea I'm preparing myself for that price range so when it's available on Amiami, I won't feel too bad preordering. I already the first three figures and, should be receiving the 4th one sometime this month. 5th one is on preorder already.

Help, Figure GAF! (Part 2)
I contacted Amiami about the Sentinel Iron Man figure and they said the best they can offer me is a 1,500 Yen partial refund (for a figure that cost 15,120 Yen). I think that's ridiculous that they won't allow me to send it back for a full refund. What are your thoughts GAF, I've put a picture of the issue below. Is this a fight worth having?
In case you didn't see the previous post, by design his head does not move independently from the neck. You can see in the picture below that his head was installed off to the side. That means that if I have him looking straight forward his neck (which has a very defined front to it) will be angled to the left by 10-15 degrees. Minor, perhaps, but not something I feel I should be dealing with in a premium figure.
Side question:
This is not something that particularly bugs me (though maybe it should?) but in the pictures below you can see a ton of little cracks that are really easy to see when you use a flash on the camera or in certain angles in direct sun light. For the most part, they're really faint and hard to see when its on display naturally. Is this part of the material or is this typical for the kind of metallic paint that was used?

OMG why is that Sinon showing us her butt?

Why did you have to say that. WHYYY
I was ignoring her picture on the amiami front page but now... ;_;
You should contact the manufacturer. If the neck + head is removable they might be willing to ship you a replacement. If not just get the refund from Amiami, 1500 yen is better than nothing. I agree it's ridiculous for such a high price however.
As for the paint issue, it's probably due to the metallic paint and the way it was applied.
Yeah, let's keep it focused on the girls and not the audience.

That price....and I like Koto so far, all their figures I have from them are great. Not Alter quality or anything but still amazing.
Due to the LED in his head, the head is not removeable from the neck, at least not to my knowledge. I will definitely contact Sentinel if I can't get Amiami to give me a full refund.
And if Amiami doesn't budge I think I may tell them to cancel all my future orders as I won't be doing future business with them. I don't exactly want to support this kind of customer service.

I am sorry for the issues you are having with this figure, I can tell you won't be happy keeping it, my advice? Get the refund, sell the figure for a competitive price, try eBay or my fugue collection.net and buy it again, with a little bit of luck, you could have your new figure in a month or less

Phew, it took my EMS package 9 days to to arrive in Chicago from Tokyo.
I'm glad it's not lost but damn, talk about moving slow.

Kongou nendo still in stock at amazon jp with international shipping. It's where I got mine a few weeks ago but the price has gone up since I ordered.

Or you can play the waiting game for preowned which really won't save you much money, not with how kancolle goods are moving right now.

Looks like the paintjob coat was sort of overdone. This is an issue in some of the Hot Toys Captain America shields where there's small paint cracks within the finish.
Damn, 15k yen?

I seriously don't know what to do. Was just gonna buy Abyssal girls, but now seeing that Bucky..... But I can't I can't I can't.
Maybe I should just shore up the defenses and stick with castle girls.

I could have sworn I had seen a prototype of a Figma Abyssal girl at one show
but can't seem to find anything about it now.
Was I just imagining it or was that some other line?

THAT'S WHY IT'S SUCH A PERFECT PLAN.
Well KanColle is a game right, so you could always make a thread for it in Gaming Side much like the Love Live community is based off of the School Idol Festival game.

I was thinking about setting up an OT for it a while ago, but was talked down/talked myself out of it. It would make more sense once the Vita version comes out, as there are currently too many hoops to jump through for Joe Punchclock/Sally Housecoat to get up and running to play the browser version. Perhaps once it makes its way onto Vita that will change - but I'm curious how the online will work... I wonder if a DMM account will still be required? Time will tell...

I hope the MFC seller ships the Wo Class Nendo today. Payed on Tuesday so I am being a bit impatient but still.
Just followed a bunch of people.

Don't need to follow me. I really don't tweet. Mostly just use it to upload pictures quickly from my phone. So if you want to see some pictures of my dog or house or something, you'll be enthralled.

I say no to Tweeter. Never liked it much. (I do, however, accept Samurai's hard-found research he takes from it!)
Also Twitter BGB-Doubleya is so straight-forward and not cynical that it scares me. Oy Oy.

Followed and added to the list =)
Mostly because I have so many other outlets to say what I want to say that I hardly post on Twitter. Maybe I'll make a bit more effort to post on there. I did move my Twitter widget to my primary home screen on my tablet so I'd see it more so that's a start.
Though mostly when I look at it it's just Theonik just posting pixiv links to whatever he is currently getting his rocks off to.

Never really used Twiiter, and only reactivated my Facebook account because of work.
