I've never had any issues with reowned.

Still doing top threes? Ok.
1. Kaiyodo Sakura Kinomoto
Even though this was made nearly fifteen years ago, it's still one of the most gorgeous figures I own.
2. Alter Clalaclan Philias
I love literally everything about this figure, from the character design to the armor to the sculpt quality of the frills and hair... Alter really did amazing work with this, and it made it all the sadder when Kotobukiya's Rosilinde didn't turn out half as nice.
3. Max Factory Aoba
There were probably a dozen figures that could've taken the number 3 spot, including Alter's Odin Sphere characters, but I think I once spoke true when I said that the Aoba figure was the reason I collect figures. I have such respect for this hobby when you can clearly see the talent and passion that went into designing and sculpting a figure, as is plain with this one.

The ArtFX and Plum figures are taking the sting out of not having that CCS.

I would love to own these, just way to expensive now a days.
As they should! I'm glad they're making new CCS figures, because it always frustrated me that the most gorgeous ones were old polystones that cost well over $200 a piece on YJA. They didn't show up very often, and half the ones I did see were terribly broken.
That Plum one has a good chance of being in a future top three. It's one of my favorite outfits.

Wait, for some reason I thought this was top 3 of the year, not ever. I will actually have a top 3 then. In a bit.

Yeah I was just curious about people's favorites in their collections.

Looks like a murder in progress.
1. Max Factory Aoba - The reason why I'm even here. @_@ I found FigureGAF when I was looking for how to not only find a copy of Aoba, but also how to even buy figures. Even if I didn't already know the character or source material, I'd probably have picked him up.
2. Max Factory Benten - Nanako's my favorite sculptor at this point. She has such attention to detail and creates such works of art. While there's a bit I wished they'd left out rather than copying the manga's style to the T, it's still so impressive.
3. Alter Natsume - Took a bit to figure out who I'd round the list up with. I have emotional ties with Megahouse's Kuroko (probably the hardest I worked to fight on Crunchyroll and Mandarake for a figure, because it was the second figure purchase I ever made). I just love the way Phat's Kirigiri came out, from her pose, to the base, to how cute her face is. Koto's Dark Angel Olivia with the twintails is so pretty, and I still prefer her over the original. Ended up deciding it was him because he's so serene and elegant, even considering how simple he is compared to my others in my collection. I really am grateful for the renewal version so I got a chance to own this figure.

My top 3... are my Bulma, Pan, and Gumako since I only own 4 things.
Risty Nendo is is cute and all buuuut has her downfalls with how many parts there are. 1 arm is like 4 things to put together
Hope all is okay, man. Emotional stuff is the most draining kind of stuff. My Zoloft prescription just got stepped up from 100mg to 200mg because my symptoms haven't been getting any better.

In my case, the top 3 that I own. Each of these are representative of my reasons for starting to collect scales in the first place.
There are a few pieces out there I'm still looking for ( Alter's Selvaria Bles comes to mind ), but there's nothing on the horizon that I've seen or preordered that would bump my top 3.
For now.

Top 3:
20150420-DSC03301.jpg by h3xantistyle, on Flickr
I have a thing for bunny girls, and SHE'S FUCKING HUGE. Real fishnet! Texture on the suit! The size makes this thing so wonderful.
20150409-DSC03161.jpg by h3xantistyle, on Flickr
I could take pictures of ZSS all day. Those eyes. That stance. The shimmer of her hair, the sparkle of her suit... It's just too damn photogenic, I can't not love it.
20150409-DSC03175.jpg by h3xantistyle, on Flickr
She's too damn adorable... I just can't.
It's okay. Just moving this yearis a huge drastic change since I have been in AZ all of my life and now moving to a completely new state
Here's my top 3
1. Mirai Suenaga
1/3 scale actio...uhh doll. Cuteness overload right out of the box. Easier to get into than Volks.
2. RAH Ryuko Matoi
I love her style! Even though I've only watched one KLK episode, I have a few Ryukos in my collection.
3. Celty Sturlson
This fig is spot on to my favourite character in the show. Great detail on wrinkles and nice airbrush work fleshing out the suit.

Guess who came in the mail today?
It was Clover Tear! Sorry, I couldn't resist the glorious Robutt!
I love Figmas, so I was interested to see how she would turn out given that she is an articulate figure of roughly Figma size made by a completely different company. Being a simple figure, there isn't much to her paint job, but what is there is done well. Her eyes are the most intricate part of her paint job, and they turned out beautiful. I also like that the little green light-bar just under her headband is made with reflective paint, and seems to be lit up. Clover was light on extra pieces, and only came with an extra pair of hands in a loose fist position. She also has an interesting stand. Instead of an arm plugging into a hole in the back as we're used to with Figmas and Nendos, She simply has a base with one peg that fits very snugly into a hole on either foot. Because the fit is so snug, and she's so light, it ends up feeling really solid, and I have no concern for her falling over.
Onto posability, and this is where I was most impressed. Her articulation is wonderful. The joints are a great middle ground of stiff enough to hold a pose well, and loose enough to pose easy. Instead of a Figma's mix of ball joints and hinge joints, every joint on Clover is a ball joint that makes her extremely easy to get into any pose. Additionally all of the major parts and ball joints separate with the same level of ease as with posing her, so it's quite easy to make major readjustments in seconds unlike Figmas that often feel like hands and legs are on super tight, and one wrong move will break them.
Funny thing is, after buying Clover and RAH Ryuko, I've come to take a different view of Figmas. I once believed they were top quality, but the ease of movement that RAH and Polnyian possess make me question Max Factory's design. I'm definitely looking forward to Shamrock now, and I'll be picking up Yume and Mel Karon if/when they go up as well.
Clover's simple and elegant design, as well as her super user-friendly poseability make her instantly my 2nd favorite articulate right behind RAH Ryuko.

I know this might be corny, and that I rarely post at the moment (190 hours in dark souls 2 SOTFS and counting) but you still have us, we haven't changed, were right where you left us, when the chips are down figuregaf is here for you!
Took a good long look at those smart dolls thanks to your link, kinda tempted to get one...

He went on sale as low as 120$ at some places but his price shot waaay back up. Aoba part 2.
Edit: speaking of hot toys, I just ordered Ada Wong from Mandarake. The shipping came out to be 4000 yen EMS? Do you think DHL would be cheaper? If not, I might just buy it brand new for about 20 dollars more....
If you ever need advice or someone to push you in drawing, just PM me. I don't mind guiding folks who willing to push their skills.
I should just practice my drawing more.
Dunno if I ever shared my DA page with yall or not.
Talking about Deviantart reminds me of my emo-phase-college-years LOL.
Here's my link anyway to my dead DA account: http://hueyyeng.deviantart.com/

I'm jobless now lol. Doing the odd commission here and there while looking for full time job. If I don't hear anything from the studios in Singapore by May 15, I'll be working locally instead to gain the working experience.
Also I'm not sure if I want to revive my DA account in the future.

Here? That would be a heck of a feed lol...not to mention would need to be updated rather frequently since things sell so fast.
I meant in the sense of getting an email or something, either from AmiAmi itself, or some third party site that crawls AmiAmi.
You can try putting in few keywords at Figinstock and set it to alert for AmiAmi only.
Try putting in popular keywords like... I got no idea lol. Maybe Love Live and Madoka since it frequently show up on Preowned lately.
Hmm I wonder if there's a way to trick figinstock to have no keywords at all and just list everything lol
Just put in "Love Live" and you'll know when they update.
