Fantastic. The Dark Night / Sonico mash-up is pretty awesome too


Didn't have much time this weekend, barely managed to get my Black Widow out of the box. Excuse the crappy cellphone pic.

It's amazing how she has this blank,dead stare in pictures while she looks very lively and focused in person. Or it's just that I suck at taking pictures, I don't know...
Didn't know how I'd feel about "doll hair" but it's perfect, really.
All in all, I'm fully satisfied with my purchase

I found this gallery to be super helpful.

EDIT: It took me forever to dig up, but a FigureGAF poster by the name of H3XAntiStyle also wrote a lovely guide to help us take better photos.

Also a strong NSFW warning due to the subjects, but here is a FigureGAF recommended lighting guide for figure photos.

And I guess have this article I'm using on composition too.

She does look good, though I miss her IM2 hair.

Drive-by post time

PSA: There will be a TPB figure sales event in the coming weeks. I'm planning on boxing up what I'm selling first, which will ensure that I can ship out as fast as possible to any potential buyers. I'll say that FigureGAF lifers get preferential prices, but I'm also prepared to cut deals for newcomers, multiple buys, etc. cos I'm nice like that, y'see (^^)

I'll give plenty of notice in advance and post the full list at a time of day that is as globally kind as possible, allowing everyone a fair crack at what's on offer.

From Indianapolis to Scotland in 11 days:

Thanks Kewl!

 

[StayDead]

Hoping some can read this but I think this is a new Prison School figure.
NSFW obviously.

Something makes me think I should read the Manga all of a sudden.

Looks real good. What scale is she ?

What are you waiting for.

 

[Baka Zeitgeist]

Looks real good. What scale is she ?

Box says 1/8th, the colors are vibrant and the hat is magnetized to her head, first Ques Q piece and I'm pretty impressed.

 

[Yaari]

N-Y has the duo Sayaka and Kyouko up for 26,980. That's better than the 29k on BigInJapan.

 

[LiK]

good lord, 2 weeks in Preparing to Shipment. Seller hasn't canceled my order nor replied to me. I wonder if Amazon Japan can help me with this.

Wait, is it actually the seller or are you tracking it through a mail website?

 

[omlet]

I have not seen this on here but who else is excited??

http://myfigurecollection.net/item/297589#tab/other/date/1/1

Oh, that looks promising. I have her original katana/kimono figure which is really pretty. I'll need to see the paint job on this new one to see if it catches my eye.

N-Y has the duo Sayaka and Kyouko up for 26,980. That's better than the 29k on BigInJapan.

So about $111 per figure, plus shipping. Judging by Madoka and Homura's boxes, which are pretty small, shipping should be pretty cheap but I wouldn't risk SAL on these, so I'd estimate 4k for shipping? So that would be about $128 per figure, shipped, unless the yen gets stronger during the year, which would drive the price up. Edit: I forgot N-Y has a shipping calculator. They actually want 5400 to EMS the pair, or 133 per. SAL not available for shipping the two together. If you order them individually you can RSAL them for 2100 each... for figures this expensive I'd rather just EMS for a few bucks more.

BiJ wants immediate payment for these, IIRC, so you can lock in the 120ish yen/usd rate now. NY doesn't require immediate payment from what I can tell, so you can bet on the exchange rate staying in your favor...

Now to just wait and see what Righstuf wants for them.

 

[LiK]

I'm checking status in Amazon Japan site. It's a reseller on their site.

 

[omlet]

omg mandarake's new site is so shit

>search ねんどろいど
>get lego set and figma
>only 3 of the top 12 results are actually nendos

I tend to just use SAL whenever. But for a duo, I probably use their custom evading Trans-Logistics. I'm sure to get caught buying something of value like 2 figures, and it is probably another 30 EUR that I'll be saving.

I also have a discount code available but I'm not sure how much that actually gives me. I figured theres no better thing to use it on than this one though, I don't see myself buying anything more expensive soon.

No problem. Glad it actually got there when the tracking didn't say anything.

 

[dani_dc]

So tempted to buy Brook, but considering it's been there at that price for two weeks and I don't think they sold a single unit, I'm just going to wait to see if it ever goes even lower at this point.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

More photos here.

Bring it on. So excited for him.
I don't even play Touken Ranbu. I probably never will play Touken Ranbu.

 

[souhait]

More photos here.

Awww yeah. So that was what, a month between announcement and preorder? Damn. GSC is coming for those otome wallets.

 

[SerTapTap]

Was looking for Neptunia stuff on AmiAmi and found...pens?

Still can't decide which Sonico to get. The Paisura Bikini one looks good too, also considering the After The Party and tanned cheerleader one. Nice to have options but now I can't decide.

Oh god, Good Smile is recommending I heat up the Alisa nendoroid to fit the tab in her slot. That...does not sound good at all. Anyone done that before?

No, you need to get it forwarded by Tenso/BiJ/etc.

Ugh, how much extra can I expect to pay for that?

And here's the Hinata Nendo. Pretty awesome it gets the volleyball court as a base and comes with his own ball and net. Can't wait for the other Haikyuu nendos now.

The base is brilliant

so jealous I missed this

Thank you for the new gif

 

[omlet]

Ugh, how much extra can I expect to pay for that?

Not very much, actually. It will be about 7000 yen, including shipping and forwarding fees, and 5400 of that is the nendo itself.

Where is he from?

 

[meijiko]

Where is he from?

Touken Ranbu. He's a sword boy.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Where is he from?

Touken Ranbu, a browser game like Kancolle

 

[omlet]

Where is he from?

That's a Japanese sword, can't you tell?

 

[Einbroch]

F-Fine...I'll buy you.

I-It's not like I think you're cute or anything!

As reported last week, Vertex reveals today information about their “Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha” Naruse Mio Dwell figure, announcing pre-order start date and releasing official photos for the Mio’s 3D version. Demon Lord Candidate Naruse Mio is proposed by Vertex in the pose she has on the cover of the first volume of the novel.

The figure comes with alternate body parts as Vertex previously revealed, including one with her uniform open on the front revealing Mio’s generous breasts barely covered by an unattached pink bra; today we learn that the figure will also come with a castoffable skirt, so to be able to display her in her pink panties for a more sexy and provocative result.

“Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha” Naruse Mio Dwell figure by Vertex will be officially up for pre-order starting tomorrow, March 24th, 2015. Price, release date, and scale are still to be announced.

Hey there, Shizu Mecha here. I've introduced my fair share of NXEDGE STYLE figures:

Preview: RAH GENESIS: Kamen Rider Drive type SPEED by MEDICOM TOY

Let's go for a ride!

RAH GENESIS: Kamen Rider Drive type SPEED [MEDICOM TOY]

Hey there, Shizu Mecha here. RAH (Real Action Heroes) is launching a new line called RAH GENESIS and who better to take the series for its first spin than Drive? From Sunday morning TV to the AmiAmi Blog, here's RAH GENESIS: Kamen Rider Drive type SPEED! Read on for our full throttle preview before orders open on midnight, March 24th !

RAH GENESIS is starting off right with the most popular of Drive's many types--this hot red body and black tire combo otherwise known as type SPEED.

Sure he looks great from the front but get a load of the details around back! Special materials were used to bring the driving suit to life and at big 1/6 scale its intricate detail makes it look like he leapt right out of the screen!

Talk about a newly waxed sheen! The glossy fabric has a touch of glitter mixed in that has to be seen in person to be believed. Folds in the suit give it an extra boost of realism.

The LED light gimmick inside the Speed Aero Met lets you turn on Multi Highbeam Eye and Signal-D!

Phat needs to wake up. 7+ Parfoms announced, one a year old at this point, and only Aigis has been released. No word on preorders for any of the other ones.

I was super looking forward to getting a collection going. Now I don't know if they'll ever be released.

 

[BGBW]

That KMB box is beautiful.

 

[omlet]

That new Madoka figure is pretty cute, but I think after maiko set I'm gonna have more than enough Madoka figures.

“iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls” Futaba Anzu

I bit the bullet and ordered her through the Koto Store for the exclusive sleepy face. August when.

Agh I just don't know about the Sailor Moon Crystal Figuarts Zero line. I like the style better than the original anime but the poses they've shown so far are kind of boring. I'd also like a full set of the senshi. Bandai's iron grip on the license is frustrating.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Why is there a boxed pic of Shizuo? Is that the reissue? He didn't go up for order yet did he?

Never seen IdolM@ster but I really like that Anzu.
