I flipped through about 5 to 7 PA boxes because there's preview windows on them before I took them to the register. The paint job just isn't consistent and I got lucky with the good paint job ones.

Look at Batman's torso, top is shaded, bottom is not shaded. It's probably the least amount of bad QC I could pick up through PAKai products.

Ah if only I had a place to browse a store for figures instead of being online only =/
Hate how PAKai are really hit and miss in terms of quality =S

I started collecting the K-On ALTER figures. It looks to be an expensive endeavor at thisp oint but I already purchsed Mugi and ritsu and those seem to be the most expensive ones because of the keyboard/drumset that goes with them. Mio and Azusa will be expensive too but poor Yui is so cheap. The two hardest ones to get though are Mugi and Ritsu.

Just ordered Revoltech Lupin and Jigen, about $44 for both. Seems like a great price considering all the stuff they come with.

They seem really fun and come with a lot of optional accesories so it should fun having them pose in various scenes by my desk and just messing around.

Did a search on amiami for Revoltech and in the 4 pages of results these two were the only one's that caught my eye (aside from that new Big Boss).

I've been wanting Lupin and Jigen. Haven't placed an order for them yet, but I'm glad they got a reprint.

If you like the amount of stuff they come with, I have to recommend the Sengoku Basara Date and Yukimura. I can't recommend them enough to people; the posablity, details, and accessories are amazing.

Where did you order them from to get them both for $44 though??? I'll order them right now at that price (though APO shipping, if available, would suck to pay. So they would be sent home and untouched for 6 mos to a year).


I'm back in the states on vacation with my wife and daughter for two weeks or so, so I have been out of the loop and out of this thread. I come back in and see that there is an awesome looking Revoltech Snake and that LiK is possibly selling some stuff?! I need to make it a point to check in more.
I am home now and have the chance to get that Morrigan I want at the comic store here. Except I came home to car problems. So no clue if I can allow myself to get it now or not.

Did you import it? Waiting for BBTS to ship mine when it gets into stock.

Yeah, from Play-Asia. They offered a special edition of the figure but it was like double the price. Not sure what the difference is...the paint job didn't look different like they did with Asuka.

Our new place is smaller, but better, although I lost the room I had for figures and game stuff. Using what would be the dining room instead but don't want figures everywhere. Might be time to sell some them off but the Bishoujo line will stay, lol.

I got them from Hobby Link Japan.

Got in on the February batch. Saw them again last week and it showed that they would have a batch in March as well, though for some reason neither figure is showing up in their listing when I went to get you links right now. Don't know if something is up with their database but try looking again later, the listing said there was a March release for sure the last time I saw it.

And thanks for the Sengoku Basara Revoltech suggestions, I'll definitely look into them.

Just when I thought I was done with Figma for a while, I go and watch Muv-Luv now thats 3 more I want to buy.
Getting tired of them leaving main male characters out though.
surprised Yui is in her flight suit considering she only used it in 1-2 episodes out of 24,
dress uniform would have been nice.

Sure; I'm still unpacking stuff but will post some pics. I got the Powergirl Bishoujo recently too.

Okay, I assumed it was HLJ, since you had that question about them in your post, but I also did not see them while searching. I'll keep checking; I've got them bookmarked from a couple different sites on my work computer, so when I get back to Greenland I'll look around.
Of course shipping will be more of a problem to an APO from a lot of sites though.

Looks great!

But uh...is the Blodia checking out Jin's package?

Don't be judging the robot!

Lol nah, aside from the forearm/fist the rest of Blodia is in the background and looking straight ahead.

Yeah its very odd how they aren't listed at all because HLJ lists out of stock and long sold out items as well.

Best of luck nabbing them :)

Yeah I thought Muvluv Total Eclipse was pretty decent.

Are there three Figma for it? I thought it was just Yui and Cryska from the newest series.

Really wish they made Yuuya, not so much just for him but to have with the girls.

Kotobukiya needs to hurry up and do a Jun or Jin Tekken Bishoujo/Bishounen. Anyone that makes a decent Jin figure with the Devil Jin head/wings as accessories will instantly get my monies!

For anyone wondering Kotobukiya's Metal Gear Rex looks really nice next to the old Mcfarlane Ray.
found all the parts when I was going through stuff earlier.

The Special Edition is just the included famitsu e-shop preorder bonus. It comes with an A3 size poster, just like the Asuka one.

The Asuka repaint was actually a special edition for the Koto flagship stores with her in red.

So I have never ordered from Amiami before and want to place an order and am kind of confused. If I live in the US do I need to do anything special to convert my funds, I have a paypal balance but don't want to place an order that won't be filled. I am very new to collecting figures and statues and really want to order one. If anybody can help this rookie out I'd greatly appreciate it.

You don't pay until it's ready to ship. If you can add it to your cart you will get it, even if it's back ordered. Amiami is very reliable that way. If you pay with paypal they will do all the converting for you, and that's the way I pay, so I can pay with my Discover card, which Japanese sites do not normally accept. After you put in your order you will get another email within a day if it's in stock (longer if its a back order or preorder) asking for payment, and that's when you know what the final cost with shipping is.
