Weird, it works now. But what I wanted is missing the base. I thought that price was way too low.

Nanami GET.
She showed up today. I figured she would come in a big box being mandatory EMS, but still.

Yeah the box is huge. Also the cardboard they used for it is super thick.
Yeah her box is slightly bigger than Kyouko's, which was already pretty huge.
I've officially given up. The fact that scalpers are now selling the Lucina amiibo for more money than the figma is worth, is the final nail in the coffin for me. I don't want to support Nintendo's scalper-enabling scam any longer, even for characters I really care about.
I'll probably sell them all soon, they waste precious shelf space in my apartment that could be used for superior figures anyway.

Shadow sums up perfectly why I'm tempted: The sheer absurdity of it. Plus the little clothing that she is wearing actually looks pretty awesome. Love the weird demon shoulder pads plus glasses. But...damn. She makes Mammon look like a nun.

This made me giggle for some reason.
Also, no, I'm not a furry. My avatar is a character from a comic by Stjepan Sejic called Sunstone. It's a BDSM girl/girl romance comic that he posts on his deviantArt page and it's being published in trade format by Image Comics. There are a few of us over at ComicGAF that are way into it. You can read it [NSFW] here [NSFW] if you're curious. There are bare boobies and vajayjays, as well as lots of ropes and latex. You've been warned.
My avatar is one of the main characters drawn as a furry. It was in one of the strips, and is by the artist himself. So it's legit.
I totally expect you guys to judge me based on my avatar of that $200+ figma I almost bought, though.

It's because you're a perv. A lovable perv.

They only release like 8 mg per year, I didn't think they would have slot.
At least the new GBF all bring a good variant of God and rising Gundam.

That's the backpack chick? Does she really look like that in the anime? Looks like over overexaggerated fanart of her.
Yeah, she does at a few points in the episode. When she's in the dungeon she's all covered up, but it's not really exaggerated.

Man I have zero interest in that show, but the character design is surprisingly good. That show must be dangerous for figuregaf.
That show is dangerous for Pixiv, that's for sure.
It's SAO, but not shit, with better designs. I mean, it could go to shit...
But, yes. And I love it.

I don't believe you. Seems the same so far except the MC isn't completely OP from the beginning unlike Kirito.
I'll continue giving it a shot though. Even SAO was good for the first few episodes.
I actually didn't mind SAO at all the first 14 episodes. Kinda got dumb towards the end of those 14 episodes, but I still enjoyed it.
Unless it jumps the shark like SAO, I can see myself watching this for a while. Plus the character designs are so good.
SAO lost me from the moment Asuna went from being a pretty good and strong character to running to Kirito for protection against her own bodyguard, who was way weaker than her. Runs into the same issue most harems have where the characters are way better when they aren't within a 10m radius of the MC. Glad I didn't bother with the Fairy Arc as well. Animation was nice though.
Despite not liking SAO, I still pre-paid for this though: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/198579

YOU MONSTER!
I liked SAO.... Until the end of Episode 14. Then it got fucking stupid.... And then it was good again when Sinon showed up.... Then it got meh when they all went into ALO.
The only other time I've seen it happen was for Alter's Mefmera.
Yup. They creep the price up the closer and closer a figure gets to release. Get 'em early or pay a premium.

While I agree the first arc was the best, I did really enjoy the second arc too and it's one of my favorite animes. Been eagerly awaiting season two as it seems Aniplex is finally releasing the blu-ray sets starting in June so I'll finally see it soon lol
Alters Luke, Lloyd and Asbel are all higher priced on AmiAmi now compared to when AmiAmi first put them up, luke being about 2k more as well.

Wait, what? How have you not seen SAO2? If you live in the US, there's no reason not to sub to Crunchyroll. Because seriously, fuck Aniplex.

I really dislike ALO but the last episode was pretty nice. I enjoyed it.
Maybe she wants to watch it dubbed?
After I get my April order, I'll only have 3 figures left that aren't already paid for. Yayifications!

I really hate watching subbed anime so I need to wait until it's fully dubbed lol but yeah I agree with you on Aniplex, their prices are waaaaaay overpriced but I love SAO and it's probably the only overpriced thing I'll buy from them lol
Yeah, I'm perfectly fine with anyone who hates dubs and prefers sub but for me I'm a dub person.
For Love Live people, the notebooks are all in stock(with the exception of Nozomi) on Ami. Get 'em while you can
Glad I got it early then. 11k isn't a price I'd be willing to pay for her.

I po'd Kotori and Nico's but now I'm thinking to get them all lol Hopefully if I order Nozomi that ami can secure a copy since it's backordered.

One day, I will join you in the sun.
I don't hate dubs, I mean, I'm not a snob about it. But I'm endlessly amused by BD/DVD advertisements for shows being released when I saw them months ago. Though I do occasionally pick up a dub myself when I really loved a series, or am just curious enough to blind-buy something.
I had Nozomi and Maki po'd. Have Kotori, Rin, and Eli in my cart right now. I wonder how heavy they are, books can jack up shipping depending on how big they are haha.

Oh no worries, I wasn't talking about you, your cool
I know in some places there's dub hate and fighting and my personal opinions are the more options the better subs will always be there and adding a dub just lets more fans enjoy a series so it's win win! I support dual audio for games even though it does nothing for me but i know others like it and that just means more happy fans /end off topic rant lolyeah it's definately been a hard wait, waiting all this time though lol by the time animes get dubs it's usually a year or so after it aired in japan but at least it means there's always new things to look forward too haha.
Yeah not sure how heavy they are, hopefully not too much though.
I can't handle marathoning shows anymore and I need my animes now, so I got used to subbed anime.
That being said, I will never NEVER watch FMA or FMA:B or Medabots in Japanese. I don't care, I don't want to know (⇀‸↼‶

My rule has long been I have to be comfortable displaying it in my living room when guests come over. That means that sexy is definitely ok in my book (no swimsuit figures because they're boring), but it can't be too lewd and it definitely can't be naked! Asmodeus with her underboob was the closest I ever came to the line (I couldn't deny her magnificent presence though) and Mammon was the first purchase that made me go completely past my line with the hopes that I have enough willpower to not turn it into a slippery slope! Lucifer's extremely abbreviated bikini bottom is also right up on the line (couldn't they have given it more frontal covering?) since I pushed her to the back of the bottom detolf shelf next to Mammon.
But now Belial...it's like...almost mesmerizing how ridiculous she is. It's beyond just laughable. I can't possibly put that on display though!

Speaking of which, how harmful is it to leave some water droplets on them as they dry off?

probably not at all harmful unless you have really hard water or something.

What are you washing them for? I usually only go as far as dusting. Unless maybe you've had them collecting dust for a few years?
