Oh snap, that's awful. Have you sent any angry emails yet?

Thanks guys. The figure isn't really ok, the right leg is loose on the regular body, but is fine on the nude body. If I let her with that one seems like nothing happened, but the clothed body will need glue or something similar to keep the pieces from falling. Will send an e-mail soon. Sending it back isn't really an option because I will get taxed again, and since this one was one of my last figures I paid a lot for it, even got EMS shipping so it wouldn't go wrong.

Ugh. That's awful. Since you got EMS, you've got insurance at least.
Larger than Chiaki? Because HLJ charged me significantly less for Chiaki's shipping.

Came home to find Kurumi EX waiting for me. Not opening her for a while, but I can see the deluxe base through the box and I want to lick it. Or fit it with hands and use it to tell the time.

dunno about the comparison since I don't have Chiaki, but 2020 Miku box is definitely big. I think the only scale that I own has bigger box than 2020 Miku is Sakuya Seraphim 1/8

Miku is way bigger. Those twin tail make the box super wide
sad face. The boxes that mandarake sends me in the mail are bomb proof. Can't imagine how this happened.
Also, my top 3 (I'm a little late to this)
1. Alter Aigis - very accurate to the beautiful artwork, and my favorite persona character design followed very closely by P3P's female MC.

2. Momohime - Just a stunning figure with a great pose and amazing coloring. Very close with Aigis in my ranking, but if the house were on fire and for some reason I couldn't save both of them I would run out with Aigis.
3. Max Factory Catherine - wonderful character design, her face is a little too hawkish, but I love her pose. Sexy without any lewdness.
Looking forward to a big amiami preowned update after this holiday week. Have to watch out for those figinstock updates, I've missed a few and regretted it recently.

Should I order this Taiga https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1003884751&ref=list? It is damaged for 10k, or should I hold out?
Oh wow, that base looks super nice. Feels like I shoulda gone with that version. OTL

Is that something you could reasonably paint over? I don't know much about this, so forgive me if paint touch up is the most horrid idea ever.

I couldn't get past the damage on the picture personally.
Added a couple things to this. PM me with questions!

Also, you lost your crown.

I wasn't looking forward to keeping it, I'm like Batman in the recent BvS trailer. That last phrase he says could be my motto in the past thread.
good to know I don't have to compete with Einbroch if one of these turns up. There's one on manda right now but it's over 20k and the box is pretty fucked up.

So where have you been? We thought you got crushed under a pile of Mikus.

Taking a break from GAF to put my life back on track. It is working, kinda.
I'm done for today.
Been up all night, started watching my niece only to have her be compltely rude and not listen to a single thing, spit and hit me.... then proceeds to get her mom's perfume and empties out half the whole thing in her room when I thought she was just playing in there.
Energy to draw... None
Energy to .. nope just nope I am done for the day.

Thanks guys, I'll probably be 100% back by the time next OT arrives, I think by then I'll have fixed things here.

I am sure you will have a blast catching up once you get everything sort out. It will be a good break, keep on working hard!
I guess I can cover it up with similar color, it is impossible to get the same color, but at least it won't be noticeable from far away.
Damn, hope everyhting gets better real quick, look forward to hear from you gain soon.

Btw I've been wondering, what is the source of Himeji? A game?

A game called Samurai Princess Muramasa.
Yeah, that looks like about what I expected.

Vertex is putting out a figure from the game as well.
I'll be passing.

Am I the only one thinking that this look err.. weird?

Funny enough Settin said that was even too much for him.

Take care, Ryo!
How does this even happen?
The base looks good. However seeing as it didnt change her appearance otherwise and I have dozens more ordered, I opted out of the deluxe version.
looks gorgeous though. Take pics!
