GK?

Prize figure. There's also one with Darumaka. I'm rather fond of the Zorua one actually. It looks pretty nice for a prize figure IMO.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

Yeah, but didn't Red end up being pretty readily available in the end?

After release there was a small window where he was up on Amazon US (I think 4 days?) but now he is back in oblivion again.

Looks nice, thanks.

I'll get that instead if I find it.

Casshern is up for 7,160 JPY for those who were interested

CASSHEEEEEEEEEEERN HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

I've been dying for a good Casshern figure, but he'd be way out of scale with Figmas/Figuarts. But Casshern...

But what if there's a Figma/Figuarts Tatsunoko line? But...Casshern...AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH WHAT DO I DOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's super effective.

Man, Einbroch up in here slinging Nendos the way some people push dope.

Glad I'm not that into Pokémon.

I like it a lot, but not worth the hassle.

Cynthia's not worth the hassle.
Plus, Pokemon's been good about getting most of the stuff over here anyways.
Might get if she comes here, but not really gonna jump through hoops for this.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

I can make Red and Cynthia have an adorable miniature battle soon...
This is good.

Yep, she's almost on Lightning's level of "Hey, you do want more of her, right? RIGHT?"

Being real, I would do this hassle for a Gold/Silver nendo, though. Steven too, if he came with a Metagross, can't pass on the dreamboat.

 

[Toki767]

Cynthia doesn't seem that special. Would have loved a Blue nendoroid though.

Red vs Cynthia, only possible with nendos

What's the process to join Tenso, and how difficult is it?

Although, I feel like opening up Amazon Japan is going to be trouble...

Just out of curiosity, how have they responded to other nintendo figures? Like Red, Luigi, Mario, Link, and Isabelle nendos. Link, Pit, Samus, and Lucina Figmas?

I generally get the impression the larger part of AmiiboGAF is new to figure collecting and those seem like they'd be excellent gateway drugs.

I use BIJ's proxy service instead. I already have an account there and I've never had issues.

lol @ hassle

It's like a 30 second sign up. And when you buy the item, it's like another 10 seconds to look up your account number and address.

There's a wide gulf to be crossed between buying an Amiibo and buying a scale figure of a random anime bimbo.

 

[FrostyCollects]

Cynthia...I'll be damned...well, further damned. I'll get her.

Red, you're back on my want list.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Tenso do requires you to submit ID & proof of address though before using them for the 1st time. That might be a little bit hassle

I'm not sending my ID anywhere overseas, fuck that.

They also want my ID.
Absolutely not worth it.

I just found a 60k yen Latios + Latias set on Mandarake, what the fuck is that? Can't find info on it, the only thing that I managed to get from the title is that they are related to a movie called "Pocket Monsters the Movie: Latias and Latios, the Guardian Gods of the Water Capital". Apparently the movie bombed hard.

Unless you have forward knowledge of a new shipment, and are at the store waiting, nendos and amiibos are about the same price at this point.

Not a problem!

I've used them twice already and they've been great.

 

[Caladrius]

Are there any general recommendations for buying out-of-print figures? I've got the capital to buy the Labrys figma and Teddie Nendo but I wasn't sure if there was anything I needed to be aware of as far as the secondary market goes.

Playmoya has a good selection of hard to find figures but at fairly inflated prices. If you can spare the cash then I'd try them.

Not a pro here, but I'll tell you what I do: if the site says it, look for A/B, B+/B, B/B figures. This usually means they are in good shape. Other thing to look for is opened/not opened, I usually only buy not opened figures.

For sites, usualy AmiAmi pre-owned or Mandarake.

AmiAmi's preowned section, Mandarake, and Anime Jungle are three sources that won't sell you bootlegs.

Amazon, eBay, and MyFigureCollection are user sales which come with counterfeit risks (besides obvious condition questions).

I was looking into their service before, also BiJ tends to get a wider selection of prize figures. I'll have to do some more research, but lots of options are always good

Yeah, I'm looking for something sealed, and I can pay premium prices for them.

I was actually about to buy off of amazon before second-guessing it. (granted, I was only considering sellers with 90%+ Feedback and >500 ratings, but I suppose you can't be too careful with money.)

Wait a new pokemon nendo?! Rather had something from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but she is pretty nice looking.

Yes, amazon japan or pokemon center exclusives.

Don't know why they chose Cynthia, you'd think after making Red they'd move on to Blue.

Sealed figma Labrys on Anime Jungle for 7k yen.

After picking up Monokuma, my mind is now all "I NEED MY JUNKO!!!"

A Wo-class nendo popped up on Mandarake for 11k. Nabbed it and hopefully it goes through.

Aww man! It'd be great if there was a weepinbell option piece where you could place James inside (like nendo Kuma but opposite)

Desu!
