The horror...the horror...

Got my Amazon.jp shipping notice on the threezero Tyrion Lannister finally, and Sega PM Ryuko and Satsuki showed up this morning:

Iconic poses, good sculpts, passable paint, a little too plasticy for my liking but for 2.5k each, I gotta agree with everyone else and say these are great for the price.

Bonus lewd box torn up pic:

So AmiAmi sends me an email "Sorry but we charged you too cheap of shipping, give us another three bucks but here is your entire amount refunded". And then PayPal puts a hold on the refund because PayPal gonna PayPal.

No money.

No figures.

That shit sucks so bad, I had it happen to me once (not with amiami) and my money got tied up for like two weeks before paypal unfroze it. Can you use your account and pay for your figures? If not shoot Amiami and email and tell them what happened so they hold your order, until you can get paypal working again...

 

[Ban Puncher]

Apparently it's on hold because the initial transaction hasn't been processed by my bank so I have to wait for that to go through before I can be refunded by PayPal. The thing is I could pay again but the refund coming will be in PayPal funbux so I'd rather not spend more real money and have a lot of credit sitting on my PayPal account.

Ain't much to do but wait and see then, but if by Tuesday it hasn't gone through I'd think about paying for it with real money, and transferring the refund into your back account when it goes through.

Good price, but big boxed or heavy? (or both)

Yeah, I wish I could say I learned from it the first time that happened to me, but I can't...

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Oh, the shame...

I offered my yum yum in sacrifice to them earlier but they didn't seem keen.

 

[Baka Zeitgeist]

Their still trapped in plastic, free them and watch the yum yum disappear...

Both. Was expecting the package to be not more than 2.5kg.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Oh, the shame...

One of us! One of us!

Edit: It's arrived, obligatory crappy phone photo:

Professional photos here:

Guessing this will be interesting to those who have SLRs but it's in Japanese so...

It disappeared... their NFC capability was no match for my greedy paws.

I have eight Amiibo now. Eight.

Edit: Oh god I just saw your Amiibofication of Yukikaze. I shall change my avatar in recognition of my shameful behaviour towards Figure GAF.

Haha down the Amiibo collection spiral we go XD

Also made this for Freeza seeing as he likes Northern Princess,

Amiibo surprise suits her well. All this reminds me that I want my Yukikaze nendo now now now. I'll pay all the monies...

Your move, GSC.

 

[Sölf]

Since I know pretty much nothing about KanColle besides what I've seen in the anime, I am currently going by looks or chars I like (which, currently, is only Kongou - but Shimakaze is also awesome, she needs more screentime! xD).

 

[jeffers]

You guys know of a decent posing guide? I never move my samus/link/motoko since it takes so long to get them into a semblance of a real pose

 

[CrazyMoonTalk]

Welp, just finished Hitsugi no Chaika season 1.

Why is there only 1 figure from this show? Such a cruel world...

Snk's favourite gif from Ep 4 (maybe even the whole series so far). They made her character exactly as I'd imagined it would be - hyperactive, playful, and a little lazy... but able to deliver the goods in battle. In a way I'm glad that Bucky is the flagship of the anime, Shimakaze seems better suited to bursting in at random and not dealing with anything as heavy as

Kisaragi going into the briney deep

Ques Q announces pre-painted version of Nitro Super Sonic Sonico Love Bomber
A pleasing announcement for Super Sonico fans comes from Ques Q, which recently revealed they will turn Nitro Super Sonic Sonico Love Bomber garage kit by the Takuto no Heya circle, released at and exclusive/limited to Wonder Festival 2014 Summer (July 27th, 2014), in a pre-painted PVC figure. Not much information is available at the moment, though we can guess that the 1/8 scale of the GK will be preserved in the upcoming pre-painted version of the figure.

Waiting for more information as well as for prototype photos, hopefully coming soon, from company Ques Q, here’s a few pictures of Takuto no Heya’s garage kit.

I was going to go with these until I realized they cost nearly the same as Figma but half the size and quality.

Still might buy a few though.

 

[WolfStark]

Oh, the shame...

I offered my yum yum in sacrifice to them earlier but they didn't seem keen.

As a huge Shiek fan I have to ask: How did her face turn out?

I'm still pissed I couldn't preorder Ike. I guess I'll have to import him too.

Turned out okayish, they are Amiibos.....so.....

 

[GamePnoy74]

Welp, I finally caved in and took the KanColle dive (pun intended?) by pre-ordering Nagato and Mutsu figmas from AmiAmi.

I'd want the Yamato and Musashi AGP figures from Bandai but they're too rich for my blood and too big to display.

My Kantai Collection starts and ends here

Thank you Samurai, i say it's absolutly buyable. But is the mummy-hat-thing really brown?

No worries they are terrible quality for their prices and here's an avatar for you for shipgirl month:

Think it's more of a greyish-brown the lighting at my place may have thrown it a little off as well XD

I have one right now.

And nine in the mail.
