The SOC line is more or less dead now and figures are rarely reissued so you don't have to worry about that.
You're welcome.

Isn't three working days the longest dispatch time you can select as a seller on ebay? I'd say that long.
All eBay listings have a defined policy on shipping times. You are in your right to complain when the delay has become longer than the one the seller defined on their auction.
The default IIRC is two business days, but the seller may have changed it.

You'll unlikely to get a good macro detail photos with a mobile unless you buy certain peripherals to attach on the camera, any zooming by phones will be digital so will be terrible unless you put your camera right where you wanna photo =/Can anyone recommend some camera settings to get descent quality pics on an iPotatoe 6?
I read H3X's guide from the last OT and it makes want to buy a new camera
I'm just wondering if there are ways to make them look better is all. I guess I'll just fiddle around with the settings.

oh man, guys. She-Hulk bishoujo is so awesome. Pictures really don't do justice to the resculpt Koto did of her face. She looks great.
SHE-HULKUUUUUUU!!!!!
SHE-HULKUUUUUUU!!!!!
Well I guess I need to get a DETOLF now, I'm too afraid to leave my Type 2020 Miku unprotected, I feel like she is too likely to break if anyone accidentally makes her fall down, which seems likely considering how wide she is. And I have no idea where to put her right now anyway.

Okay, this is rad as fuck. It's a Totoro GK. I would pay some serious moonbucks for a PVC of this...

I can never leave any figures outside of detolf, dust is my biggest enemy.

So I need a new Amazon account for buying stuff on the Japanese Amazon site, right? After that, is it just like regular Amazon?

You're gonna need an editing app like Snapseed or VSCOcam. Personally, I use Camera+ and CortexCam to take all my pictures. Camera+ has quick filters and also has the option to do advanced fine tuning if needed. It can also save all your files in TIF format if you want lossless picture on an iPhone as much as possible.
Cortex Cam I use for indoor pictures because it can remove excessive noise from the pictures you take without getting rid of details.
But overall, you can do what you can with what you have, but nothing is going to beat a good quality DSLR.
I know I'm not a regular in this thread and I definitely do not have any pictures of figures to show my camera skills. I'm not a professional, but I know enough to take quality pics. Just thought I'd help out.

Been a while since I posted in this thread (Somewhere in OT3) but my Tsugumi (Nisekoi) Nendoroid just came in the mail. My first figurine! Now the question is: Do I open the box? What do?

I'm so Sorey you're having difficulty. XD
I got him too. Not unboxing anything until the weekend. Except maybe She-Hulk. Himeji is.....basically regular 1/7 sized. The only thing castle-sized about her was her price. Harumph.

It's had time to recover, I made and paid for those pre-orders Jan. 2nd of this year and I haven't bought any other figurines since then. There's that 1/2 scale Big Boss hand with the MGS V LE pre-order if that counts lol.
And thanks, I've been rocking this since Summer 2013 when SMT IV came out.

Pretty much.
I think the only part is when you are entering your address is to click the option that it is an international address.
You can even sign up in English too.
You just have to use force, but make sure not to crack or break the flimsy base. Feels like they didn't make his holes big enough.

WHOA! This is a PG forum, man.
Get your mind out of the gutter. Also, whoops spelling error.

If that's the issue, though, the hot water trick is the way to go. It has never failed me.

Interesting.

Keep hearing this thrown around but haven't done it myself. Explain.

If the holes in a figure's feet are too small for the pegs in the base, simply fill a dixie cup with hot water from the faucet, then dunk the foot in there (ankle or calf-deep) for 10 seconds or so. Dry it off and then try again. The heat from the water will soften the PVC juuuuust enough to suit your purpose. The peg will go in much easier. If the problem area isn't a foot, then you're better off using a hair-dryer.
Yeah there's that too...
I just pulled my pic from the previous page off of MFC because someone commented (in Russian, no less, thanks Google Translate) that my Luka figma was dusty as fuck.
I gotta dust my figures more often. Or put them all in a detolf, of course.
Sakura came in yesterday. But since someone else already posted pictures of her, I'll show the other figure I picked up last month from the pre-owned section.
A new cutie witch! It's a shame she doesn't like the flash well, because she's actually pretty nice-looking in person. Her paint is just too reflective, and the lighting in here sucks.
She's this figure, for the interested. I should note that I bought her purely for the aesthetics, and know nothing about the source material.

Damn that was fast. I was wondering if anyone would catch it.

40% off on action figures at midtowncomics.com so I decided to get this:

Snake from Sideshow isn't 40% off....oh well. They have some good deals on the DC Real Action Heroes though. Too bad I already have a few Hot Toys to pay off this Friday.

That's how I buy many of my figures, I don't watch anime. If I like the figure I'll buy it.

I am completely opposite, every time I finished an anime that I like, the first thing I do is check mfc.

You know, I really enjoy seeing figures showcased that are different. Seeing the same "Figure of the Week/Month" gets old and when I see something less flashy or more antique, you know, "different." it makes the thread all the better. Thanks for sharing.

Look at this guy right here.
I don't have too many issues with dust due to how much I am away lol. I did a major clean a few months ago and some of my figures that sit without any glass or anything surrounding it had barely any dust on it after 9+ months.
My lego is a bigger dust magnet....
and I have a lot more of that than I do figures.Freezasaurus

Unboxed She-Hulk. HHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG
She might be my favorite Marvel bishoujo so far. She's the bishoujo Power Girl of the Marvel line.
