I love heat/sun.
i hate cold weather. Anything remotely damp or chilly sucks.
Also there is so much to do, and so much great food to eat. Its very easy to live here.
Oh and also living in a place that offers gigabit internet doesnt hurt.

Which?
The Love Live Nendo petites. I've had a long and hard thought about them. But factors like room and the colour scheme of their outfits being a bit bland (would have been cooler if they reflected their image colours) finally made me think I don't really need them.

That was me, I always want to see everyone's collections. Great set up, amazed you have only one Yamato space girl, or only the Dragon Crown elf, guessing your Lego Budget kills the need for sets?
Your gonna need a deeper shelf, a billy's only gonna give you 10" inside of it depth wise, from back to front, with guts hand and cloak jutting out the way it does he'll either touch the back wall or the front glass.

Finally ordered the Wo-class Medicchu, abyssal thirst is that strong...
Damn, I don't remember him being that wide/long when I saw him at AX. I thought the billy would be a nice fit but I can see the cape touching the back of the shelf. Anything with glass doors for around the same price range?
Edit: Detolfs would probably fit better but I was hoping to use the rest of the shelves on the billy for games/books. Don't really like the all glass look either.

We need to have an Indiana Figure GAF meetup. 
Was there a lot of figure stuff at Wizard World this weekend? I skipped it because I figured it would be all comics.

A detolf should work, you got 13" from back to front, but they are better for scales or hot toys, but that's would be a means to an end rather then a good shelf. You wouldn't get any use other then a place for Guts and Femto, and then one of them would have to be on the bottom... Unless you raise a detolf (like omlet did) the bottom shelf is all but useless for viewing.
I went for the REGISSÖR, costs more, but it's nearly as deep as a BESTA, comes with feet, and with glass doors. Was easy to put together, with a max weight of around 30 pounds per shelf, all the Shelves are adjustable except for the wooden middle shelf..

I plan on having Queen of the Dead, Keir, Guts, and Femto in it, but since 3 of those are a way off, I've done this with it for now:
So the bottom half of the unit you don't use for Guts an Femto could be used for whatever...

Yep, I know him. Shared an apartment with him in college once.
We should have a louisiana gaf meetup. In New Orleans or something.

It's really frustrating how some websites like fb destroy the quality of good HD photos....
Nice photos, thanks for sharing! And, a small tip from my experience taking photos of figures at cons - bring a small light with you, a weak flash-light or just a reflector and point it towards the face - makes a huge difference. And yes, you will look silly doing it, but there's plenty of other silly looking people around, so why not! It's worth it
Is it just me though, but when I saw those kids cosplaying Attack on Titan, my first reaction was 'are they even old enough to watch this shit?' It's just that, if it was my younger sister for example, I wouldn't let her watch that until she was at least 16. And I'm fairly certain it's R rated.
On a semi-relevant note: do you guys meetup on expos/cons at all? It's con season after next month and I'll be all over the place, wouldn't mind a meet-up or something..

That 1/20 scale.... it's a plamo.
Cool if you like painting and pairing this with your plamo tanks.

Also, I didn't think Id even have any figures to take pictures of, and I was trying to go in as light as possible. Was there all day and such.
I dont know if I go to enough cons to do meetups, but I suppose if I do go, I wouldn't mind!

That's impressive detail and an impressive paint job on such a small Figure.
This is relevant to my interests.
Yeah, good detail, but you'll have to do your own painting on it :3

Oh. I missed that part. Ehh I'd rather paint a miniature or a GK at that point.
At 1/20 it's almost a miniature. Good thing it's that small and plamo though, one Shunya line I can ignore
I think imgur does a fine job with that.
When you go to full res you don't usually see pixelated details on imgur, which is my worst nightmare and why I hate fb so much.
It's not about the light setting, it's about the contrast and spotlight, just use a flash light towards a figure's face, take a picture with it and without it and you'll see instantly what I mean
EDIT:
Not the best example, as the reflector one is actually out of focus, but here:

I use Abload to upload my screenshots and pictures. They don't compress your pictures like the other image sites do.

Is this a boat girl? She's kind of bad ass looking.

She's Tenryuu. She does look bad-ass, but she goes dere-mode when Tatsuta's around.
It's a mighty fine ass.
I HONESTLY couldn't find another picture where I've taken the shot with and without reflector. For reals. It wasn't intentional.
Yo, if I was taking pics for a tutorial I would use Mammon's fine posterior. #YOLO

I like them a nice departure from the other boat girls.

Please tell me this isn't a GK. TENRYUUUUU <3
I just get figures I like the most, sometimes just one from a series to represent the entire series. Examples of that would be Elf, the Yamato figure, and Zoro from One Piece. It's partially the LEGO budget thing and partially space constraints until I actually have a house built to my specifications with more dedicated space.
