edit

yamato is making a bayonetta figure as well. Its still in production

Call me crazy but I don't see a seam. Are you talking about the skin fold on her back?

to me its a seam line. Its just rather odd that it comes from the spine.

But thats not what bothers me the most. The giant ear is what ruined it for me.

I did it again...

ordered Selvaria Bles from Alter on Mandarake for 7k

didn't know there were many anime collectors here. My most expensive toys are probably the chogokin mechas. I think the most expensive one I have is 335 bucks canadian tax included. i remember i wanted to buy a 1/1 scale figure from japan that cost around $1500 bucks and i was willing to shell out the cash for it. the problem is, my local store couldn't get it for me because it was very limited and my wife thought it was freaky. right now, i am not willing to pay over $110 bucks for a 1/8 scale figure unless that figure is huge or i really love it. prices on figures are actually going up compared to when i first started. i have around 150 anime figures and not sure how much model kits and other mechs i have.

srry for the shitty pics. my mancave is small so my keyboard is blocking the view of my figures.

Just jumped on the Kinu Nishimura Collection - CVS2 Mai figure at Amiami (ITEM:A / BOX:B). I was really tempted when I saw it listed a couple pages back, but I wanted it in better condition.

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=HOB-FIG-5319-R020

A lot of fighting game figures have been cropping up lately in the pre-owned section. Have to constantly tell myself not to get these. There was also a Dizzy (ITEM:A / BOX:B) but that got snatched up.

Sakura (ITEM:A / BOX:B): http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=HOB-FIG-2908B-R006
Chun-Li (ITEM:A / BOX:B): http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=HOB-FIG-3010-R006
Cammy (ITEM:A / BOX:B): http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=HOB-FIG-2908A-R007

Really want that Mai (huge KOF fan) but not sure my family would approve lol.

The Sakura and Cammy figures are so so imo and the price on Chun Li is nuts.

Too bad there aren't any cool statues of the male SNK characters. One of Terry doing the Buster Wolf would be so awesome.

EDIT: Looked at some non-bullshots at figurecollection and Mai and Morrigan are easily the best of the Nishimura figures. Cammy's face especially looks very weird.

Holy shut on that Chun-Li. It's a few proportionate "inches" away from looking like the amazon character from Dragon Crown.

That Sakura is super cute but hhhhng, those prices. For a used figure, too.

I could either buy a small car or buy all three.

There's always the D-Arts Terry figure for now, I do hope that Alter will release some male fighting game figures in their Altair line one of these days.

The A Item ranking designates that "No damage or signs of wear can be seen. Item is either unopened or appears to be unopened" so they're practically new from the sounds of it. They are pretty expensive though. :(

I really want that Chun, but just can't shell out almost two hundred bucks for it. I got both the Sakura and Cammy figures listed there for like 2000 yen and 4000 yen some years back. Will just keep waiting and hope I see one in a recycle shop next time I'm over there. Those three figures all go together, BTW. Their stands are made so that they can be placed in front of one another.

I'd like to say a special "fuck you" to UK customs for taking 2 weeks to do basic maths / charging me an extra $60 and the British weather for delaying my post for 4-5 days.

Anyway, yes, finally got it, happy happy. It's the first
and probably last
figure in my collection. I'm too exhausted from work to mess around with it at the moment (will likely break one of the finer parts if I do).

FUCK, Rex only arrived in CT. Estimated delivery is now Wed instead of today. I had an extra day off today so I was hoping to get it too. Argh...

This is why I sometimes prefer UPS over FedEx. At least UPS' delivery dates are accurate.

How much of a difference is there usually in price between SAL Unregistered and EMS when ordering from amiami? I know SAL takes quite a bit longer and have no issue with that but does the item usually come in okay? Is it reliable to just get the item in good condition?

Anybody know of a good Wolverine that won't break the bank? Doesn't have to be a statue, an action figure is fine if it looks good. My desk is asking for one.

Sideshow stuff looks so weird. I know it's off the comics but it looks more generic than anything specific (Jim Lee, etc).

I'm happy with my upcoming DX Joker 2.0 though.

I WANT MORRIGAN :(

You and me both, brah. You and me both.

Only two and a half more weeks until I am home in the states and can go to the comic shop and buy the Morrigan (the Sideshow Pop Culture Shock Morrigan) they have. I went for the first time in July or Aug and they said it has been there for years and no one has ever shown interest in it. So of course it probably sold while I was gone, because I have the worst fucking luck.

Eh, if it is sold out then I still have a Yamato Girls Collections Morrigan sitting at a cheap price on a site that I will order.


Man that MvC3 Wolvie and Ryu are expensive. I mean, I am a huge Marvel vs Capcom fanboy and have been for quite a while. But those are something else.

got mines already and i am in love with it.

its such an amazing figure and the old snake pilot is an awesome addition as well.
 
I got my Kotobukiya Vash (Trigun Badlands) figure today from Hobby Search and upon opening the package, I could see that the left leg was completely busted off at the base.

EMS has insurance up to 20,000 yen but it looks like a pain in the ass to go through the claim process.

This is the first time I have ever received broken merchandise from Hobby Search and I guess it's fixable with some PVC glue, but I'm still pretty upset. The figure is currently sold out. :(
