She is sold out on preorder eveywhere, but thankfully one of my trusty sellers came good for me with Marika Tachibana

Has anyone used the marketplace on Amazon JP along with a forwarding service? Item I'm looking at, the seller has over 2000 ratings/97% positive so that's fine. I assume I can just use my Tenso address, just wondering if there's any issue with doing this...

Orchid Seed Push!! Cover Girl pre-order is going up tomorrow.
Personally very interested in this figure because of the sculptor.
How in the hell does that skirt situation happen? I assume it's in a state of falling down? How'd her other leg get out of there?

Want. Watch this be >14k.
I written about my experience on using Tenso to buy stuff from Amazon JP marketplace on my website. Shameless link to it lol.
I bought from 3 different marketplace seller and all is good. To be honest, I didn't expect the stuff to be deliver to Tenso within 24 hours which shows the efficiency of Japan Post delivery.

This is like waking up to an amiami pre-owned update and picking through the bones...
Pmed...
-------------------
Also gonna have to pass on that Hellboy statue I posted last night, having mountains of pre-orders will fuck you everytime, that and I'm expecting the ThreeZero Jon Snow pre-order will be soon and I have to pay that upfront...
Whoa, depending on how much I like the game this might be the first Gecco I go for wholeheartedly...

I know right? Gutted about Tharja. That ass cannot be denied.
Eh. The GSC statuette of her was much better.

Not quite related to figya stuff but I lol'ed at point no. 6 in your quick checklist xD
No one responded to you, so it's up to me to tell you.

That he was selling it at all took me be surprise, I see Tharja's ass daily and never tire of if, but I haven't played the game yet (working on P4G at the moment) and almost have a phobia about playing it as most people seem to hate her and if I never play the game I'll never run the risk of looking at her any differently...
Also Dizzy, Celty, and 2 Izanagi's were a surprise as well.

Same. I'd have stayed up till he opened the sale at 5am had I known.
FigureGAF, can anyone do me a favour in helping me snapping photos of any figures from several angles?
Just wanted to try and see if I can recreate the figures using photogrammetry technique since I'm taking a break from my usual work now.
Something like the following picture:
I need around 20 images circling the figures if possible. Preferably DSLR user and no flash!
Hoho lol indeed!

Jill Valentine statue I received yesterday.
It is part of the Capcom Builder series.
like the game logo or the S.T.A.R.S. or B.S.A.A. logo.
Not bad for 3,500¥.

Only wish the base had more to it than the character's name.

The scale? They're hardly comparable.

but tbh I'll be laughing at myself anyway since I might end up like them ;__;
hmm aniplex kaori is 1/8 too..... hopefully it is cheaper than Balzac

Got it in my head that I want to grab this bunch of 1/8 Kitakami.
Should look great with them all lined up.

Really want this but not sure if I will have the space for it. Hmm...
Let me see if I even like Bloodborne first.

OMG, day one
I was planning to do a shoot of the just-released Ciel Alencon figure soon, so I can do this at the same time, but I might not have time until Sunday.
Missed Kewl's super sale yesterday :-(
Mildly tempted by Elizabeth but maybe I shouldn't buy anything for a bit.
kind of bland looking.

probably similar to their previous releases. can't be more expensive than the MGS ones. not like that's stopping me. happy to see a high quality figure based on Miyazaki's game.

yea, it's not a bad figure but after platinuming that game, I rarely used that gear that the marketing loved so much.

Looks like it, some of these nendo print runs have to be really low.
Yeah, if demon/dark souls had these kinda figures I'd have little room for anything else other then Berserk and a few anime bimbos.

My amazon.jp order was a day late cause it had to be taped up:
Thankfully Kirigiri is still minty fresh, but damn take it easy on the handling DHL...
Now waiting for parcelforce to deliver my Feb amiami order...

I have wondered how much of a production run nendos, or figures in general actually amount to, at least those that aren't explicitly stated as 'only x number produced' by the manufacturer. It's going to vary wildly of course based on popularity and cost of production, but is it safe to assume around 2 to 3,000 for a nendo?
Much more, I'd say. Preorders to individuals only account for probably a third of the total number. Think of every retail store in Japan that stocks the more popular Nendoroids. Then think of the western stores that stock a few. Then think of online retailers that order a few dozen extra each. Adds up quick. I'd say that your generic anime-girl-Nendo probably produces 10-15k, and popular ones like Link probably closer to 30k.
Just on MFC, which is very niche even for a niche hobby, you have Nendoroids owned by 3k+ people.

Very well explained, thanks. Kind of makes you appreciate GSC having to make their decisions on what anime/game/movie they produce, especially considering the financial outlay on a product run. The likes of Miku and KanColle are guaranteed bank for them, but then the licensing costs (esp. on KC) probably carve into that profit pretty heavily.

at least it is better than what I received last month... they don't even bother to tape it and just let the box "opened" >.>
Fuck it, made some room. Let's go! Can't wait till it comes out in 2016.

So here's a LTTP Kirigiri mini photo shoot I didn't need to do as everyone else here owns her already, but it was an was an easy set up, once I softened her hair with a hairdryer that is, and kept me from looking out the window for parcelforce for a few minutes:
Definitely getting Nanami now, the pair of them will be a great little memento for each game...

But I'm glad you did
She was actually one of my Nippon Yassan cancellations from last year, if I see her going cheap then maybe I'll find a place for her.- Status
