Unless someone makes a scaled pvc of Snow Miku then I might get that Miku as well. I love Miwa Shirow's art. Hoping they make Psychic and Trickster as well.

How do you guys store your boxes? Flatten them?

Revoltech Snake looks really good.

It really depends on the figure. For static scale figures we usually end up keeping the box with all the insides together. I'm a bit less attached to my figma/nendoroid boxes, unless they're special ones (like Link or Samus), so a bunch of them got gutted and flattened. It certainly is quite a pain to store so many boxes when you have a big collection, though.
 
Given the rarity and the prices on eBay I was debating whether or not to open the Super GT Race Queen Racing Miku 2011 figma I got yesterday...

...oh well, screw it.

This figure's amazing.

This also came in from Amazon earlier this week: Bandai Tamashii Nations MS Girl GP03S Stamen - Armored Girls Project

new POP hotness for SUPARSTARX

And looks like Max Factory is making some more Nintendo scaled figures. Tharja from Fire Emblem Awakening. Didn't realize this was from Fire Emblem until tomopop posted about it. It's a little too pervy for a Nintendo game, but I'm glad they're making more Nintendo figures besides figmas. Max Factory always does great work and they're one of my favorite companies, so this is something I'll be keeping an eye on.

New Elizabeth figure from Ques Q. Need to see the painted version, but definitely has potential.

Alter is still making Tales of Vesperia figures. They'd better make Judith, since she's the only one I'd actually buy. I can't believe they made all the guys, but no Judith.

Shunya Sonico concept art, no sculpt yet.

Fire Emblem Awakening figures? God damn.

Figma Marth. Max Factory Tharja?

I can't believe they're allowed to do that. I think the Samus one was somewhat saucy for Nintendo to allow but this is pretty blatant.

Oh well, she's my waifu in the game so I guess I'm kind of obligated to get her.

Make a Figma Ike please.

Holy crap, huge Transformers reveal at Toy Fair this weekend.

Two foot tall G1-design Metroplex, has all three transformations like his original toy. (Robot, base, assault carrier)

125.00 but damn, that thing looks beautiful.
 
Have Kotobukiya announced the next Tekken figure yet? Is it Ling Xiaoyu? No more announcements expected from that line-up?

Supposedly koto saves bishoujo news for US events since its more US tied (Mass Effect, DC, Marvel etc etc) so possibly news to some extent in a few days (NY toy fair thing).

xiaoyu and hworang or whatever are the next 2 IIRC

I'm surprised they didn't fix the lack of abdomen the original had. Just a giant blocky chest connected to to a tiny waist via a twig.

Wouldn't Hhworang look kinda off in that line?

I'm so absolutely excited for the figma Guyver coming out. I don't have to hunt down one of the old ones anymore!
This Wonfes has been amazing so far, so many figures that I just have to get.

This!!
i'd buy any and all versions as long as it isn't the Awakening DLC one.
Vanguard or Radiant Dawn ver would be my first choice.

I'm going to have to stay the fuck out of AmiAmi's pre-owned section as to direct funds at all these fantastic new figures being announced.

I really don't think Hwoarang is next in line, I think that picture is a misunderstanding.

When is the NY event? I thought that was the one which started today.
 
Did you guys know that Shunya has done art for every single character from TTT2?
In the This is Tekken edition, you get an artbook with all his artwork in it.

First of all, OMG! Second of all, he's based off Fall of Cybertron Metroplex who is a pretty straight homage to G1 to begin with.

I was going to cut down on Transformers buys, but I'm quite interested in Springer, Blitzwing and Trailbreaker. Obviously gonna get Soundwave with his tapes, so happy I didn't go for the JP version. Expect this one to be scalped like CRAZY though.

For the big MP's I'm definitely waiting for Hasbro's announcement from now on. They're not messing around. I had MP15 pre-ordered on RobotKingdom as well, and I don't think cancelling is easy with them.

I'm getting Blitzwing, Springer & Trailbreaker as well. Love the nod to Animated with Blitzwing's changing head.

What are good places to buy from? So far, I've heard of amiami.

I MUST have that Marth figma whenever that comes out.

There's LOTS of sites, but for preorders the 3 most popular ones for new item preorders are
http://www.amiami.com/
http://www.hlj.com/
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/
They will usually give a 10-20% discount off mspr on preorders. All 3 are based in Japan, and will be much cheaper and get their products faster than shops based in the US. I wouldn't recommend buying from US shops unless that's your only option because they are sold out at the Japanese shops.
Big exception: Kotobukiya's Bishoujo figures, these will almost always be cheaper in the US, and will be in stock at amazon with free super saving/prime shipping.

Preorder discounts here are only 5%, but their sale section has good deals on recently released figures that aren't selling that great.

Once something is sold out, your only option to get it is preowned, and for that I mostly use

Shining Wizard @ Sawachika is the sculptor of that Tharja figure. That guy is probably my single favorite sculptor. Did Catherine, Zero Suit Samus, and all the 7th dragon 2020 figures. The guy does great work.

Another pic.
 
I'm all for Whoarang but they're raping my wallet and now none-existent money. =(

I guess the releases will go like this: JayCee, Lili, Xiaoyu, Hwoarang, Michelle.

Was michelle ever confirmed? Don't remember that at all.

If by wednesday they don't show off a prototype of xiaoyu then you can expect xiaoyu not to be ready by ATLEAST winter 2013.

which saves me a lot of money.

I mean chun li got announced almost a year ago or something and she still doesn't have a prototype (so far, NY Toy event could change that).
