I'm still debating whether or not I should open the box still, I would like to open it but I'm still not sure; the figures themselves look amazing though, exactly what you would expect from Revoltech, at least from the Gurren Lagann line anyway.
And yes, there were 2 movies that have already been released. Currently there's a Blu-Ray box set that's coming out soon, but Aniplex is pricing it at $550 becuase it's a so-called import.

Fuck, dude. Dat price....
However, she's a good size, and I love the design. I'm in. That'll be my X-mas present to myself.

How much for the full set of those chess pieces? That's pretty amazing.

Each figure runs between 12-15 bucks normally. They are part of a subscription service Eaglemoss runs. I still need to get the board.
I've seen full sets go on Ebay for between $400-500.
Hah, I just saw you post those on myfigurecollection. She looks good!
Super Danganronpa 2 - Enoshima Junko up at BIJ for a very-generous 9,595 yen:

I'm pretty sure HLJ and Big in Japan were taking pre-orders for him...?

You'll probably have to track the pages with FigInStock/email notifications or something though ._.; Good luck!

Why did they added articulations for a nearly static figure unless it can stand up
Under 10k, better than I was expecting. Need to see what Amiami will have her for. And I have a feeling December is going to be slammed with releases, so gonna wait until August. I have a feeling a lot of stuff I want is going to go up for orders after Wonderfes.
A few pages late but ugh, Bayonetta delayed again. I'm starting to worry!
Also, ive been watched Evagelion rebuilds recently, fancy picking this one up. Anyone got her or know if shes nice for that price?

Nice, that's good enough for me. I'll wait and see what Nippon Yasan come up with before ordering though, just in case.

It's not a static figure, it's fully posable.

Oh, snap Medicom Berserk figure incoming, not the best Guts look but will be mine regardless.

Thank you! I've had the notifications set up, but so far no luck. I assume it'll be like every figure and some people will drop out near the end.
If nothing else, the 1500 yen price will make an ebay version RELATIVELY cheaper if I have to go that route.
Now for an extra challenge, do you know a site that's taking pre-orders for those Attack on Titan prize figures that someone posted ten or so pages back? A search on every site only gives me t-shirts, bath mats, and other weird merchandise. A starving man will take what he can get.
First pictures of Ling Xiaoyu on Kotobukiya's Facebook.
I'm no fan of her face. It's like the figures are regressing for every new release. First JayCee's face without the mask were no good, then they had problems with Lili's appearance until they "kind of" fixed her and now Xiaoyu's face isn't that great.

EMS was 3200. Expensive!
Mario and Link UDFs paid for AmiAmi. Used Registered SAL again.

This face looks MUCH BETTER than her previous one. Not familiar with the original though.
Someone posted the art a few pages back and it's much cuter. I love the body sculpt but the face is so damn inaccurate and not-cute.

Yes to Xiao Yu! So preordered.
I just put up Lili on my shelves as well.

I'm in the exact same situation.
I love the look of her, however I know nothing of the source material [as if that's stopped me before!], she's relatively expensive, and she's from a new company.
If it weren't for the fact that I personally feel the majority of my "MUST HAVE!" pre-orders will likely be releasing around that same time-frame [Satan/Mammon [HJ/OS], Tharja [MF], Sonico Tiger Parka Ver. [Gift], etc.], I'd probably take the leap and order her anyway. But there's way too much upcoming for me to do that.
I'll probably do the same as you and wait a few months. Since her release is so far off I can't imagine that she'll sell out that fast. Also, it's a new company, the price is above average, and given her size shipping will likely be EMS/SAL Parcel only [although I'd opt for EMS, obviously].
We'll see!
Nippon-Yasan is great. I received my first pre-order from them a week or two ago, and everything was packaged super-securely. The item didn't ship out extremely fast [around 2-3 days maybe?], but that didn't bother me. It's a relief, since I have a few exclusives pre-ordered from them [Franky - Sailing Again, Gamer Girl, Maeda Keiji, etc.].
Despite not being 100% sold on her [as mentioned above], I can definitely see why so many are excited for her. I need to give it a bit more thought [and gauge my upcoming purchases first] before I commit. >_<
Amazon has her in stock.
For the items in the above picture? Never.Here's a fun question for you guys.
I've been looking at photos on tumblr of actual Mandarake stores, and I have to ask... How many seconds would it take you to go broke inside of one?
For general anime/video game-themed figures, though? I'd estimate between 3-5 seconds, depending on how difficult it would be to un-fasten the button(s) on my shirt/pants.
Why the shirt/pants comment? Well, my actual money would likely instantly evaporate [into seemingly thin-air] with numerous figures replacing it, so my last resort would be to sell the very clothes I am wearing.
Would I be cold? More than likely, however I'd also be happy. So very...very happy.
$190? i'll pass
i don't think preorders are open yet
Reminds me of walking into the Sino Center in HK for the first time.
Got Alter's Stocking today. Nice figure overall, but definitely had some quality control problems. The paint on her dress is uneven, , the leg and stocking seam is a little too visible, and lots of problems on the pink paint of her hair.
Now just waiting on Scanty to complete the set.

Is there something to that series I'm missing? I tried to watch it, but I couldn't. It's like Powerpuff Girls trying to be raunchy and adult.

Did it? Because I think I stopped after episode 2. Maybe I should try to go a bit further.
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt does get better after an episode or two, but I found it struggles a bit near the end. It seems to hit its high-point at around Episode 8 or-so [I especially liked 1 Angry Ghost and its Phoenix Wright parody], but from there it goes slightly downhill.
It's still worth a watch, in my opinion, but it's definitely an acquired taste. It feels like one of those "Love It or Hate It" type shows.
Also, watch the final scene after the credits in Episode 13.

Junko up at HS now.

...Yeah, those interested might be better off ordering at BIJ [unless you have something to combine her with].
Nothing listed on AmiAmi/N-Y yet, although I can't see them being priced cheaper than BIJ. That's a pretty large discount they're offering.

Damn. I want that figure.... but dat price. I have to think before I pull the trigger on this one. Who is it that's making her?
HLJ has her listed now for an in-between BIJ and HS price. The up-side? You can easily cancel her if you need to!
http://www.hlj.com/product/caf79354
As for the company, they're new. The only items they've really released are those Donyatsu figures. They have an upcoming Touhou figure as well, but it hasn't been released so I can't speak for their quality.
It's a gamble, for sure, but then this being a relatively new company could push them to an insane amount of work on her. After all, the more positive things people have to say the more likely they are to pre-order/pay attention to further releases from them.
I'm still not pre-ordering just yet, regardless of HLJ offering easy cancellation. I don't like to abuse their cancellation system if I don't absolutely need to, so I won't be committing until I'm less hesitant on her. As I mentioned before, she does look great though.
Fucking hell, the price is too much since I'm on the fence about it. Gonna pass.
