They should make a Robin whatever so I don't have to hunt down the stupid amiibo.

Nice man, so you finally got Asuka. She's amazing.We all do. It seems like the minute you cave and pre-order something you want for a given month, then everything else you have your eye on gets piled into that month, too.
Speaking of things I've had my eye on, I just [NSFW-if-you're-offended-by-jiggly-bits] ordered this from Mandarake. Hope I get it. She doesn't seem to pop up too often and I had one bought out from under me the other day. Feels bad, man.
Congrats.
Oh! My MFC "Top 10" tags:
long_hair (137)
thighhighs (88)
blue_eyes (66)
large_breasts (60)
miniskirt (59)
blond_hair (57)
twintails (54)
ribbon (53)
high_heels (52)
short_hair (41)
[I filtered the manufacturer/meaningless tags]
Yeah, I actually ended up really enjoying that series. Utaha pre-order sooooo justified.

Nice, she's a great looking figure. Hope you got her.

Any Robin would be good.
I do still need to buy Estival Versus, too. But I figured the game won't become scarce the way Asuka is.
I'm glad a Figure GAFfer managed to get her! She's one of my favorites from last year.
I think the LE for Estival Versus has sold out at most places by now, but regular copies should be easy to come by.

This is why I'm afraid to watch so many animes, my will can only hold for so long.
Yeah, she's a great sculpt for sure. It's actually a big reason why I'm so tempted to pre-order this Swimsuit Ver. of Saber.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/de...9$s_maker=Alter$pagemax=40$getcnt=0$pagecnt=1
Since:
A) She's done by the same sculptor as Asuka [Ryou Hashimoto]
B) She's 1/6 too, and would look great sitting alongside Asuka
I still haven't pulled the trigger yet, though.
You finally caved!We all do. It seems like the minute you cave and pre-order something you want for a given month, then everything else you have your eye on gets piled into that month, too.

I was just taking pictures of some my papercrafts for my art portfolio, so I figured some of you guys might be interested in them. All of these are free for you to build, too, and all it requires is scissors, glue, a printer, and paper (I use other stuff to make it look better, but those 4 are all that's required). If you have questions about the models just ask, I would be happy to answer any questions.

WARNING!
--Holy Grail Alert--
Mandarake has a sealed Sansei Muramasa - Maid Ver. [Max Factory] for 16k yen.
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-790420.html
I know, expensive, but she's absolutely jaw-dropping, and definitely one of my favorite figures in my collection. Her face is utterly perfect. Actually, everything about her is perfect. I managed to get her around a year ago for 12k sealed, but that was an extremely rare chance. This is her standard going price now [at least sealed] and, if it were any other figure, I'd say she wouldn't be worth this much.
However, this one definitely is.
There's also an opened/box damaged/box-inner package yellowish for 14k yen.

I hadn't realized she was done by the same sculptor, but it makes sense since she looks really good. I don't really have any attachment to Saber, though, even though there are a gajillion figures of her.
Yeah, I'm kind of "Saber'd out" too [hence why I don't have her pre-ordered already], but I can't help but imagine what they'd look like being posed together.
I don't have the patience nor the skill to do anything like that, but it's absolutely brilliant. Congrats !

Awesome, that Zelda looks amazing.
I really hope they make Michiru figure as well....
but considering how small screentime she gets, I kinda doubt it at this point.
Who is that
Michiru Hyodo from Saekano.

I just realized that, against all odds, I won an eBay auction for this guy this night :
NIce way to start a 3 day-long week-endand to be almost out of cash on the 4th of the month
Congrats! My first purchase this month will probably be either Greninja or Xenoblade Chronicles 3D next week.

What would be a fair price to ask for a Bishoujo X-23 figure? I have the box for it thankfully.

I hope her and Kato get figures. It's too bad Eriri is the next one up from GSC.
Ok. Ill watch it.

Some more info for those who are interested:
There are a ton of papercraft models out there, and most of them are simpler then the ones I've built. I didn't start out by making a 5 foot tall version of Link, I made smaller ones first.
If you are interested in building one, I'd recommend something by Ninjatoes . All of his models have fantastic detailed instructions, and they are very well designed. He's most well known for his Zelda and Advance wars models, and he designed the KORL, USS Rubicon, Kurt Zisa, Yellow Comet Recon, and Wolf Link.
Another great papercrafter is Haywan Chiu, who designed the Life Size Link, Lyn, Toon Link, and Zelda. He runs Papercraft Museum, which has a lot of models and great tutorials in the sidebar.
Red Yoshi built Falco, Snake, and Samus, and he's done other Brawl models. Actually, a good portion of the papercrafts that I've done are just Brawl trophies. Like Ninjatoes, he has detailed instructions for his models.
The Pokemon are all designed by the people at PaperPokes, who have made over 200 Pokemon models. They are all well made and relatively simple, but don't have detailed build guides like Ninjatoes. Instead, you have to use a program called Pepakura Viewer to figure out where each piece goes. 90% of models have no instructions, so you have to use Pepakura to build the models. Pepakura is very easy to use, but I'd recommend building something with detailed instructions first.
Seriously, to start out all you really need is paper, glue, a printer, and scissors. It's much easier then it looks, and building the model is fun (except when you have to make one part 6 different times). You can just watch TV or listen to music while building them, they don't demand your total attention.
Here are some models that look good and aren't too difficult.
Majora's Mask
Lander
Black Hole Tank
Metapod

Your awesome, I'm glad collecting figures has become a passion for you that helps with battling your demons.
It's a shame, but at the very least now you have more room for other figures...Finally sold off the last of the figures I was selling on here.
Too bad the reason I was selling them is now moot.
Mandarake has three of her:
18k
13k
12k
Worth every penny...
Looks cool, glad to see something different from the norm...
Amazing read. Glad to hear about the positive impacts of collecting. Thanks for sharing.I wrote an MFC blog about depression, anxiety, and figure collecting.

Super rad! I was crazy into papercraft a few years back. It was a fun cheap way to get figures of characters I liked, haha.
I actually recognize all the models you have built there from my time stalking Papercraft Museum.
I like Clannad and Kanon, but the art style sucks. Especially the original VN art.

Aquamarine announces “To LOVEru Darkness” Konjiki no Yami 1/8 scale figure
It’s with a magazine article that Aquamarine announces production of “To LOVEru Darkness” Konjiki no Yami 1/8 scale figure. Yami-chan is proposed by the company in what looks like a slightly dynamic pose, and comes with a beautiful smile on her face. At the moment, only a roughly set for 2015 release date has been announced.

Bandai recently opened pre-orders for their Yazawa Niko S.H.Figuarts figure from popular anime series “Love Live! School Idol Project”, which follows previously released Kousaka Honoka and announced back in January figures of Sonoda Umi and Minami Kotori.
Yazawa Niko stands 12 cm tall and is scheduled for release in August 2015. Listed for a price of ¥4860 (tax included), the poseable figure comes with three different face expressions (plus an extra one if ordered at Tamashii Web Shop) as well as seven replacement hands for both her right and left arms to allow a wide range of poses and recreate all sort of scenes from the anime.

Orca Toys reveals new alternate version of “Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko” Touwa Erio
Just after yesterday’s announcement of a third recolor of Kuroneko, Orca Toys recently revealed (in late March) recolor number three for another one of their figures, “Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko” Touwa Erio Swimsuit version.
Back in December last year, the company opened pre-orders for second recolor (blue swimsuit ver., An Angel’s Smile ver. ) of the figure, originally proposed in her standard, white swimsuit which was supposed to be released in November 2014.
Third recolor of the cute Touwa Erio is proposed in an orange swimsuit, with the same expression of the original version. Her hair has been sculpted so to appear transparent and kind of shiny. The figure will be most likely proposed at the same price of the other variants, so listed for ¥10800.
Sculpt of “Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko” Touwa Erio third recolor is by Tere and Tsukada Takashi, for a 1/7 scale figure which stands 11 cm tall. Release date is still to be announced.
