Mind sharing? I missed out on that one.
Figmas are awesome. Also Acid I thought of you earlier because someone in the Gundam OT essentially stated that Haman was the same as Riddhe.

Snagged a Koto Yui Takamura off Amiami I've had my eye on for quite some time.
Need to let my CC cool off after this.
Me too.
I really don't want to pay Amazon prices for her.

That's actually not a bad price. And she's already had one reissue. I wouldn't count on another.
I also don't know what the licensing situation looks like after the Disney takeover. The Star Wars ArtFX+ are still coming, but I don't know if Disney wants sexyfied Star Wars lady statues. I haven't seen any updates on bishoujo Stormtrooper in a while now.

Sure, I just ordered one. Came out to $75 after shipping and taxes.

Oh and the reason why she says "Easy Assembly Kit" is because she doesn't come with her legs on lol

Sadly, I think that ship has sailed.
Man, when I think of the missed opportunity for Koto to give Shaak Ti, Ayla Secura, and Darth Talon the bishoujo treatment....
You seem to have one of these for every occasion.
Email them about it. They might say no and ban your account but it doesn't hurt to try.

You're probably right. Raven went from silhouette to illustration to early sculpt in the time since the original Stormtrooper announcement, and we never got proper concept art for the latter. Probably dead.

Thanks a lot man. Mine came to $72.71. I saved $2 since I have CR premium. Hah. Lowest I saw elsewhere was $90.

It's a bit of a pain in the ass to slot her torso into the lower half, as there's a piece of the clothing sculpt on the bottom that needs to fit over one on the top half. I used the hairdryer trick to soften up the pvc just a smidge. Worked like a charm. Otherwise that shit is near impossible.

Can you truly call yourself a collector if you don't own a $100 nendo?

Well, I accidentally submitted an order for one of those FREEing 1/4 scales... Was trying to price check haha, and it's been so long since I placed an order that I didn't know it wasn't going to give me an $ subtotal before commiting.
I mean I might get it anyway...

The Crunchyroll store is really confusing. Their prices go from really great to what the fuck expensive.

Yeesh, Amazon want's $90. I'll look around a bit then.

So I ordered the Wo-Class on AmiAmi, and when I went to put it up on MFC, I saw that there was an available Tony Taka Luka figure.
Apparently, I'm not going to have money this month.

Delay-Class won't come out this month. You'll be fine.

Putting a save point after the boss, asshole game design 101.

So good, that I needed it right now, even though I'm supposed to be saving money.
At this point, I'm just ordering it to say that I did. I kinda expect it to go back on preorder randomly.

So I finished through 12.5 of Durarara today. Celty is adorable. Preorder justified. I'm also thinking of getting this, removing the glass and lights then painting satin black to display with her.
I think that will look pretty cool since her without a bike is a bit of a crime.

Man how did I miss that Jaina figure? She was one of my favorites from the departed EU.

Hrm. $176 due on my next payday for the 1/4 bunny I accidentally ordered... I guess Ill do it.
Bestworst accident ever.
I'm such a sucker for Evangelion and I really love Hachigoki. I missed out on the older kits and I wish I could have gotten them at a lower price, but this for ¥3000 I can't complain.
Looking back at my first attempt at an airbrush, I really like my paint job compared to the vanilla color painted build. The metallic pink and sprayed on gunmetal still makes me smile.
Excuse the grain and low exposure, but it really does look better in person.
I'm looking to do more detailing on the sniper rifle and fine details like panel lines and paint touch ups. I don't want to seal it with top coat yet.
Does anyone else have tips for airbrush technique and thinning? I want to use more metallic colors without accidentally clogging up the brush. Any ways to prevent clogging and wasting paint and thinner?
Is there pre-thinned metallic paints available to airbrush? If not is there a recommended container with squeeze cap that I can use so I can thin my own metallic paints?
That's one way to keep the top of your ramen cup closed.

pluck my tasty grapes
and you expected more?
Vampirella never gets good statues;
case in point
I wasn't expecting anything, I was hoping she'd look good though, even if all the older Dynamite statues looks like what you posted...
As for good looking Vampirella statues the Sideshow versions say hello:
Regular head:
EX head:
upcoming one:
Paint just looks flat? The paints so thick and sloppy and the face looks nothing like Campbell art. This is the prototype photo shoot, these pictures are supposed to sell you on the product, the real product will look worse then this by default, which should be really off putting considering they want $190 for it and can't even do a nice prototype.
Should be really off putting...
Man...
I dunno...
I know I have a stick up my butt about the quality of things, but the paint on this figure
looks like utter shit, how anyone can say something that looks this mediocre
just puts shivers up my spine.
can't
either, it looks that bad.
NOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOO....
Never coming out? I believe that with Mikasa...
Worth every penny, but my wife used nectar points (might be a UK only thing) to get her for retail price on ebay...
Yeah that would have been grand.
Yes, she was a pain, if you don't use the hairdryer trick you'd risk scraping the paint off her stomach getting her together.
Noramlly I'd say less is more, but with your photo's I'd just say post em all
Git gud!

You need to want the amiibo more than the scalper wants his $30 premium.

Eh, after that I kinda don't give a fuck anymore. I'll still try for the ones that I want, but going out of my way to get others probably won't happen again. I'm tired of this tbh.
Kanbaru figma is awesome. Good choice.
No interest, but she does look very nice.

Aww yiss!
I was able to preorder Racing Miku (the 2014 one) on HLJ :3
So happy.

So, I know what separates you guys from Action Figure GAF is quality, so I feel like this may be more appropriate for here:
One:12 The Dark Knight
I ordered the Blue/Grey variant back on Black Friday, and the port strike delayed my shipment until this past week. Up until that point I thought I was getting a doll, and I was like "What the hell am I doing with my life?" But instead what came was a Figma-sized action figure with the quality of a Hot Toys figure.
His articulation is wonderful, and his cloth cape and hand stitched outfit is a sight to behold in person. Changing out his arms and foot and head are kind of hard to do at first, but once you loosen the plastic a tiny bit it becomes easier. I absolutely adore this thing, and I won't hesitate to pick up the Judge Dredd one which is set to release next.
