Yeah, they started publishing the Jojonium volumes as well, but some of the character redesigns are just unbearable.

Why feel bad? You don't like her?

Holy shit, that's beautiful. This is the first Miku that Id even like having. &o&
Will she actually come out next month? Wait, don't answer that
I do too. My only knowledge of it right now is cause of my fiance- he's a big Jojo fan.

She's really popular, and back then harder to come by, so it was kind of like I was depriving someone else. I'm certainly happy with the figure herself, and with the recolour out I'm sure everyone else is too.

Don't worry too much about that lol... and welcome :3
Yeah, looks pretty fine for 30 euros I'd say, hard to resist
I'm enjoying the anime a lot, it's basically the only anime I have to look forward weekly, the amount of JoJo figures in Japan does tempt me to go read the series so I can start buying more, but I'll keep resisting for the moment.
Yeah, it's hilarious when you have characters called Esidisi (AC/DC).
Regarding the west, I would say it's mostly paranoia from publishers, I doubt anyone is going to sue over a character name or that they'd even have a legal case considering the context of the use of the name is completely different.
Crunchyroll/Viz seem to be working around it by changing names (usually to different musical references) though.
Thankfully the redesigns are limited to the boxart, so it shouldn't have any bearing in reading the actual manga (though the art in the first parts can certainly be off putting to some).
He's clearly a man of good taste, the adaptation is really good so I'd recommend it. First season suffers from some budget issues, but they really managed to work around it pretty decently all things considering, the adaptation had no business being as great as it was with the budget it had.

*shrug* Nothing to apologize for. The items posted aren't on reserve or anything. Most of us have had things bought out from under us, but that'w just the nature of the aftermarket. I don't think anyone was jumping at the chance to buy a 20k figure.
Hehe don't worry about it. I doubt anyone here would ever feel deprived of a figure if anyone bought it before them. At that moment sure, but I haven't seen anyone here fret over it beyond the usual jokingly melodramatic wails we all post when the Sold Out cruelty is inflicted upon us.

Yours by right of conquest man. Don't feel bad. I'm sure there's still a good amount floating around the market if anyone really wanted her.
There's nothing to feel bad about at all. Welcome to the thread.

Welcome. Hope you like her I definitely am happy with my recolor version. Don't feel bad about it. Hell most of the time links consist of the poster saying "someone buy this figure so I don't make bad decisions."
Yeah, if someone posted a link before ordering the figure chances are it was a call for help.
Or a thinly veiled attempt to bring misery and despair to other wallets.
Still new to this figure collecting stuff.
Finally decided to sit my ass down and start taking out the Devil Homura kuji A prize figure, Sinon figma and of course, the Chiaki that my colleagues surprised me with yesterday.
Press Start button. Really liked the Monokuma base, with a bit of a weighty feel on it.
Assembled. Whew. That went better than I thought it would...was always afraid that I was prone to exerting too much strength on some of the parts...
Finally have a couple of decent sized figures...next to some of my random mish-mash (not pictured: my Estelle (Trails in the Sky) and Imca (Valkyria Chronicles 3) nendo).
Guess if I'm gonna start with this, I have to look at buying a glass display case or something...next figure I'm probably gonna go for will likely be Alter's Alisha (Tales of Zestiria). Gotta wait for my paycheck at the start of next month first though!

I've done that. Like a "SOMEONE PLEASE BUY THIS SO I DON'T."
Sometimes I just post things that might be of interest to people. But never anything I legit intend to buy. I keep secrets in those cases.

Watch it with him and start bonding over Jojo. It's super more romantic than it sounds.
Man, for a new collector you've got some awesome non-newbie figs there.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT KIRKHAMMER!?!?

How can a wallet feel misery and despair when it's already dead? (aka mine).
Nice collection! Love the One Piece figures!

Think these weren't posted.Awoken Hera-Ur
Today’s main feature…!
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
Today’s blog begins with a rather sexy first image!
A sexy body that belongs to none other than…
Oooooooooooohhh!! (´□｀｡
From the popular game ‘Puzzles & Dragons’, better known as ‘Pazudora’ comes a scale figure of the monster ‘Awoken Hera-Ur‘!
She’s so… big!!!
So very, very big!!
This is how she looks from the back! ♪
Look at her long, full hair and it’s lovely curls! Plus those wings!
The red color scheme of both the hair and wings also matches with the orange-red effects that are dancing around her to create a really impressive scene! Also note the details that have gone into the accessories such as the purple crown on her head or the bracelets on her arms! ヽ(*・ω・
Plus perhaps the most important thing is the charming blue skin and stunning flame effects! The shadows that from the light of the flame have also been painted into the figure, giving her a even more sensual body!
If we take a closer look at the back from another angle, you’ll notice…
You get a nice look at the nape of her neck! ♡
It’s hidden behind her hair if you look from another angle, but the ability to look from any angle you please is what makes figures so very special!
The illustration is a little taller than the illustration from the game, and in a slightly different pose… but that mysterious and cunning expression on her face has been kept perfectly! (｀・ω・´)ゞ
Welcome and make yourself comfortable and make a MFC account to keep track of your collecting ;P, nice picture =D
Gamora has an expression like someone just depants themselves in front of her or something and shes like "WTF" Should have the lewd woody figure bending over in front of her or something. Would be hilarious.
Decided to take a few pictures of my collection today:
First, the Miku stage, with Mitchie M's The Greatest Idol album in the back:
Ahem, sorry. Here's the Kill la Kill Nendoroid mini-diorama (with the KlK soundtrack as backdrop):
And here's Racing Miku 2013 and Rachel Alucard chilling besides some space cowboys:
On another shelf there's some intense four-way P4A fight going on:
That's it for now. Not shown above is my Mikasa figma, which is lacking appropriate space to put her on right now.
Some closeups of that shelf follows...

Reposting the pics of my collection from the action figure thread.
Man, I need more space. Problem is I don't have enough room for a third detolf. Not without Changing the location of everything in my room. In fact, lack of space is one of the reasons I don't buy as much anymore. Nothing worse than just storing figures in a box. Might as well just download a picture of a boxed figure and save it in my computer.

Is that the SoC Gunbuster? Fuck that thing is cool. Way too expensive for me though, thankfully the SRC is good too.
Hera looks sooooo good.
Yes, yes it is. I got it for a decent price, though unfortunately I broke the bottom panels of the forearm. You're supposed to e ale to remove them in order to put it in the crossed arm pose but when I tried to do that the clips just snapped.

Why have you not ordered yet?

Yes, that would be cool, also an Ahsoka would be great as well.

Except Adult Ahsoka like in the new season of Rebels.

Everything is already a Miku.
That would be amazing, but from the looks of things, it would require more PVC, so the price would be bonkers

I wouldn't mind an adult version, clone wars version would be best though.
More PAD merch is seriously welcome. I have her preordered. Now I need Red Sonia next.
Freezasaurus

Which Sonja? Sideshow has another PF Sonja in the works in addition to the one they already released. There's a teaser up for a She-Devil with a Sword version.
I'm trying to be a good girl but all these pictures make it so hard!
She looks really good and your poster is super cute!

I don't know what that is. I hate when people take to abbreviating things that aren't obvious.

That Metal Gear Rex and Space Ship Yamato looks so good.

Puzzles and Dragons, seeing as Hera is from there I found it an easy abbreviation to point out.
On the figure, it looks pretty neat minus the dumb wings.

I see Red Sonja, I think comic Red Sonja. That's the only Sonja there is to me.
