WTF is that shit?
Rap Video Chun-Li? :X
Good lawd. Now I don't feel so bad for considering picking up some Witchblade statues. . .
Although I still should, because I am culpable. :\

Leshita said:I have departed with quite a lot of my figures (all my MGS1/2 McFarlane figures for example); here are the ones I have left which I will be keeping for good.
Yeah, I am going to try not to spend anymore on figures ever again.
Shiz, that Medicom Goku does look pretty nice....
Well, you win. Well, either you or Gagaman. Congrats! How much did the Ghibli figures cost, where did you get them from? (their site?)

I got them from http://www.1999.co.jp/ but I am pretty sure you can get them from Yesasia or just HobbyLink Japan. They cost me quite a hefty amount though (well over $100 each CDN after customs and crap :/).
I probably won't be purchasing anymore statues or figures though (no money). If I do buy anymore it will be 1 or 2 major purchases a year max, though currently the only things that interest me are the MGS4 medicoms, Poison (though I can probably resist and not get it), and most recently that Medicom Goku (which I discovered through this thread
).Yeah, I really need to quit this geeky hobby. :lol

That's why I'm looking for a f@cking display case, but nobody in this thread is forthcoming with good information on where to obtain them.
IKEA has a couple on their website, but they don't list the height of the shelves in them. So I need to call them and see if I can get that information. This one is looking good.
I want to unbox a lot of this stuff, because it's cool; but I want it to be someplace relatively "safe" away from my idiot cats and friends. The last thing I want is a $100 toy or statue in pieces. :X
Not to mention it's easier to wipe down a display case than to dust each piece individually.
Jesus christ guys. Way to screw up this page of the thread
that gaping chun-li vag with her off kilter alien butt-ugo face have been giving me nightmares all day. I'm looking at my classy chun-li (the same one as Leshita has in her case) and it's reminding me of that shit. No. Nooo. Nooooo.

Holy shit at the nudity in this thread. You can basically see her vagina and nips.
Also, WOW at those Ghibli/SOTC/MGS figures.

Ok. So what's the deal with paying through Paypal?
I've decided to neg on my dante purchase, and instead go for sexy sexy Rei instead. Same company... but is it going to be a big deal?
Infact, I've decided that I'm going to collect all of REFLECT's sexy figures that I can get my hand on. They're all roughly the same scale, and they're the ones I keep going back to look at.
God.. wish this guy would do Asuka. An adult, cheese-cake asuka in the same kinda style as Rei would be such a perfect match up.
But his damn morrigan.... so bleeding rare. About 250 AUD to get it shipped to australia. I mean... a few websites still sell the thing, but they're all priced ludicrously.
I knew I should've pounced when I saw her for 95 dollars.

What is a "Resin Kit" exactly? I see auctions on ebay for some of this stuff and it says they are "unpainted and unassembled", yet looking at the figures, they appear to be 1 piece molds or something. Like the "Poison" figure for example. The guy above who has one has it in the box and its all assembled and everything. So does that mean a Resin Kit is a cheap do-it-yourself knockoff or something? Educate me, please.
they are all easy to assembleMistouze said:
generally there are four levels of difficulty
No-Grade (kits without any 'Grade' marking) EASY kits, only a few parts, cheap and usually not a lot of detail
HG (High Grade) usually in 1/144 scale, good amount of detail, cheap, lots of different kits, ~usd20
MG (Master Grade) 1/100 scale, plenty of detail, quite a lot of parts, most consider these the sweetspot with the best detail/price/scale ratio. ~usd45
PG (Perfect Grade)
very expensive, 1/60 scale, only a few kits, 'perfect' heh
all kits and grades can be assembled without glue and paint, so even a newbie can assemble them without too much problems. the parts are already molded in the appropriate colors. so just snap assembling them will make some quite decent looking robots. but if you want them to look hawt you need to paint them, either with spraycans or airbrush (i don't recommend painting with brushes). this will require quite some work and a bit of skill but is well worth it.
this is how such an figure looks unassembled and unpaintedUno Ill Nino said:
found this page where it shows how the guy builds and paints it

Snapped some shots of my Touma collection:
Knuckle Bear Iron & Guardians, Hell Hounds, Goon, & mini Circus Punk.
Complete set of Slithers! (so far...) + some mini Goons.
18 inch Knuckle just came in, thanks to a clearance deal online I paid less than half of what it costs most places. Came with a nice autographed lithograph, too. Below, Wonderwall Knuckles and Knuckle Qees.
Fang Wolf & FW Qees, Bonga Konga, Toolies, Skuttle X + Mini Skuttles, Boo & Baboos, more Touma-designed Qees, and Knuckle Bear Gachapon figures.

Resin kits are typically very nice home-brew models for hobbyists to assemble and paint. Some of the best models if you can assemble and paint them properly.
They're typically the basis for finished statues. IIRC, that Poison figure was a garage kit at one point and then got picked up for mass production.
PVC = fully paintedUno Ill Nino said:
Resin kit = build and paint it yourself.
All figure models start off as resin kits (sold at Wonder Festival); only the most popular kits will be picked up by large manufacturers to be made into a complete PVC model.
Some sculpters(Reflect , Mon-sieur Bome and TandemTwin) have be come so famous that they could sculpt their figures from shit and it would still sell out.

GAH!
Ikea sales folks are pretty shit.
I'm looking at this, but it doesn't specify what the shelf height is! >:|
I call Ikea, wait on hold for 10 minutes once, and my cell drops the call when I get a human on the line.
Call back. Wait on hold for 6 minutes.
Go to work.
Call back again. Wait on hold for 8 minutes, get a human - and bitch don't know shit. >:|
"I don't know. You'd have to measure them."
IT'S NOT FUCKING LISTED ON THE INTERNET, AND I DON'T HAVE A GOD DAMN IKEA STORE IN MY STATE YOU IGNORANT SLUT!
I just call Ikea stores in other states because I don't have a fucking hobby. AUGH!

Ikea said:
Height: 64 1/8 "
Well, let's see. 64 1/8 inches / 4 shelves = 16 1/32 inches per shelf, minus the width of the shelves. So you could probably figure on 15 or so inches of clearance.

Cheesemeister said:
Yeah, I tried to guesstimate; but I don't know what the thickness of the base and top are 1/2 inch? 1 inch? So a possible total of 1-2 inches off the height? Plus the thickness of the shelves.
I dunno.
I'm considering taking a road trip to Pittsburgh and just checking the fucking thing out in person. ALL IN THE NAME OF EXPENSIVE TOYS! NERD ALERT! >:O
I'd like 16 or more inches, since that's the maximum height of some of my statues.

This image...
...gives 439 pixels height along the front-most corner edge to 64 1/8". Each of the shelves are 100-104 pixels tall.
64.125" / 439 pixels = shelf height / 100 pixels
shelf height = 14.6"

Impressive!
We'll find out this weekend. Either way, Ikea is the least costly route for a glass display case.

This is the only statue I have. It resides on top of my subwoofer. I've got some Gijoes and ton of star wars and Metal Gear figures. But they don't stay put on my sub because of the vibrations.

There are a lot of girls that are into collecting these figures as well. I'm sure he could find someone to fuck at a cosplay event or other niche parts of society, but the average girl probably wouldn't like these. But it's silly to say that he won't be able to have sex because of these.

Hey man, don't feel too bad. My GF didn't care for my FFX Lulu either. She's okay with Master Chief and the Spartan Crew perched up high in our kitchen with sniper rifles, but Lulu's big fat titties are where her tolerance got tested.anotheriori said:
I don't know how she's going to take me buying one of those Poison models shown in this thread, but I'm not too worried about it. After all, I let her have a Hello Kitty toaster, waffle maker, water dispenser, placemats, bath towel, paper lamps, and Barbie all on display. I guess we afford eachother our little quirks like that.- Status
