Figure GAF |OT3| You're Here Forever

I'm not 100% sure I'm explaining myself correctly so I'll put some pictures before:
(click to expand, lol don't worry about the last one, it's just imgur's weird placement of the thumbnail/crop)
I think pics 1 and 2 (especially the former) might help understanding what's going on: the "side to side" pivoting capability it's there somehow, but it's far far more limited on the right foot...
...which leads to pic 3, where you can clearly see the right foot barely touching ground!
I mean, by just looking at the first two pictures one might think it's a complete disaster, while actually it's not THAT bad... but still, it feels like this is *not* how things are/were supposed to be. :-\

So ANOTHER figure got delayed till December (Vivdred soft bust). Honestly, I expect it to get delayed one more time.
Man, I'm trying to fill in some price data on MFC for stuff I own.
This is tough... I got my first figures 8 years ago lol... Some stuff I have can't remember where I ordered it from... some stuff I know I ordered from an online store that shut down... most stuff I can't remember the price I paid for it...

Mind = blown. I've never noticed this.

Don't believe they do. Just checked my Reimu and Nodoka Figmas to be sure and they don't.
@Turrican3: Try sending those photos to the GSC website helpdesk to see if they can't send you a replacement foot. They're super good about it and if it's a more recent figma they will have replacement parts that they'll send to you for free.
That's a VERY interesting suggestion, I hadn't thought about this!
I'll contact them immediately, and see what happens: you know, this figma is definitely recent (it's a re-run that came out this very month) so they actually might be able to solve this issue... thanks again for your replies.
GSC gives replacement parts for MaxFactory products? I had no idea. Good to know.

Is it normal to have not received a confirmation mail from Mandarake after payment? It's been a few hours and nothing received...

I believe they don't send one...
You'll just have to wait and see if they send you a shipped email like the next day >_>
We finally have details on how the PG Unicorn LED Kit works.
It looks like it's a bunch of surface mount LEDs in custom enclosures to spread the light how Bandai wants. Pre-wired in sets that will then connect up to some part of the Unicorn (presumably the back) and finally hooked up to the base for power. Super cool. Assuming the inner-frame has all the wire channels molded correctly, which it will, should be fairly easy to assemble like this, too. Assuming that image is the real model, the effect is quite nice as well. Given their mounting multiple LEDs in custom enclosures for this, I can start to see where that price comes from.

That was...weird.
Postman rang, gave the box to my dad's girlfriend and just drove off. There's a 86 bill taped to the box, he didn't ask for the money. He didn't ask for a signature, he just drove off.
¯\_(ツ
you're lucky. happened to me like twice with smaller bills, 15-20. sometimes they're just confused.

So in that case do you just rip it up and not worry about it?
If they come back and ask for the money I'll gladly pay. If they don't, I'll gladly keep it. I suspect they will come back though.
So, the one question on everyone's lips : How does Marth look?
B... but the number of Luigi's in that picture is 0!

Honestly while not as perfect as the prototype, I want to say going by the hair sculpt, the image that's been floating around is a bootleg. It's definitely improved over that.
That being said his head is technically really tiny, as the figures themselves are relatively small.
Next month!
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure I'll be doing this again for series 2 & 3...
Hell I didn't intend to do it for series 1, but... it was payday, and... things happen...
Also a good idea.
I will say that Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and Villager are being produced in smaller quantities, as they all arrived at the Target I work at in the same shipping box (2 each in a box of 6).

Thanks.
That's... reassuring? Well I know plenty of folks here use them, so I'll take some solace from that and sit on my hands until a shipping mail turns up.

Marth and Villager was kind of the ones I was most interested but those photos of the downgrades =(
But with that in mind will try to get them first, but probs gonna get Link first cause Hyrule Warrior's spinner.

Welp, bought a PS4 off Amazon for that 50 dollars gift card.
Guess time to close up shop on figure buying for the rest of the year.
Luckily the big one thing I have left is Nanami and lol on that coming out this year.
This does mean I should stop looking on Mandarake >_>

Lol I was gonna comment on your twitter post about that. You didn't seem happy that you were buying it.

I'm pretty sure I'm pre-conditioned to feel dread on spending any amounts of money.

WAT!? No one wants the Wii Fit Trainer? She's the hottest Nintendo waifu there is. Dat yoga pose.

It was a lightning deal matching Walmart's deal of 50 dollars gift card for a PS4.
I wasn't interested one bit in any of the other Black Friday bundles so might as well. ~_~
-----------------------------------------------------
Surprised no one wants Villager. I would get him :/
Would also get Male Wii Fit trainer

Ah, I see.
YES! \o/
Oh, and concerning Musashi, I gave it some thought last night and I'm not considering cancelling my pre-ordered Devil Homura for Musashi. They're both at/around the same price, so it won't impact my planned purchases any. I'm not sure if I want to do it, though, since I love the way Devil Homura looks, but then Musashi looks great as well...
I'll give it a bit more thought before I commit.
Doesn't sound like a bad deal. I still have too many PS3 games to finish to be in the market for a PS4. Probably next year I'll be ready for one.
I saw that when I went to pay for her. I didn't want to give in to the hype but...it's happening, isn't it?
That's a good instinct to have around these parts, but utterly futile.
Enjoy the PS4.
I gave in and ordered a Kirby Amiibo. I think I'll collect the Kirby related ones, and Rosalina, obviously.

＼Let it go~♪ Let it go~♪／
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
The other day I went to karaoke all by myself and the most memorable song I chose was definitely Let it Go! You cant help but sing really loud which feels so great!!
Today Im going to be taking a look at
Nendoroid Elsa!♥︎
Ooooooooohhhh!!! (*´ω｀*)
From the popular Disney film comes the princess with the ability to manipulate ice and snow! Her braided blond hair gives her such a lovely elegant look even in chibi Nendoroid size! ♥︎
Even the hair accessory with a snowflake, and icy looking shoes have been beautifully sculpted! ◎
Her outfit has a nice translucent feeling to it! ♪
Not to mention all the lovely shiny parts the long cape in particular looks so sparkly! This is how she looks from the back!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Shell be up for preorder from the 26th November!! ♪
I feel bad now. Going to go buy a Villager.
I'll probably get the following eventually:
Villager
Toon Link (would get Link too but I can't get over that frozen pisssicle)
Pit
Dark Pit
Little Mac
Lucario
Mega Man
Lucina
Captain Falcon
Mewtwo

Time to play catch-up
- I love Musashi, but fuck that price, and fuck Light Armament version. All or nothing.
- That Elsa nendo is adorable, if a bit plain-looking. I'll probably nab her. Did you guys notice that the film version of "Let it go" had more lyrics than the Demi Lovato version?
- So many gunpla! It's like a Gundam orgy.
- Amiibo I'm buying: 0
