Koshiba said:Yeah, I have the green (I think) ribbon version of that figure. it's a nice figure. I'm just glad when I can find Lum figures.
Sucks about never being able to find male figures. Nice phoenix wright figure though btw. Hey, if you ever come across any other Lum figures, you should totally let me know. :lol She's my favorite anime character.
There are some at a big recycle shop in town, but they're a bit too expensive. There's one that's Ataru getting ready to hit Ten with a frying pan that I really want though.

MacFarlane toys or thighs-and-butt toys? I really can't decide which I'd want less.

You must name me where i can find these recycle shops. The best place ive been to when i went to Japan was Osaka. Den Den town is the best place for figures, more so then Akiba.
Wow, it's like So You've Decided To Be Celibate - The Thread! :lol
A lot of the figure models are pretty cool, really. I have the two sets of "SEGA Gals" ones and the Shadow of the Colossus set. My girlfriend collects the larger size figures, mostly stuff from Rosen Maiden and such.
Eventually I'll get some of them set up and maybe finish up my Gundam models, but for now the shelves are dominated by Primes.
Minus one or two, that's every Optimus Prime/Primal figure ever made.

I love how people started saying such collections scream of never getting laid or whatever when the one posting the biggest collection is married and I get them given to me as christmas pressents from my girlfriend. lol
No one I've known who's seens them has really thought bad of it at all. lol
If you're weird as it is then maybe they will be a problem, but, I don't really see it causing most people any harm. lol

There's nothing wrong with having toys (video games are toys too, guys. 
) as part of your hobby, so long as you aren't doing something weird with them.
There IS something wrong if you're staying home with said toys instead of getting out and having a life.
:lol My wife's friends have done that too. My friend's wife LOVES these toys and loves the really curvy ones. But that's Japan for you.
Well, I live in Kanazawa, so I could tell you about those places, but I don't know where to go in the bigger cities other than Den Den Town and Akihabara.

Yeah, that's what I mean, as long as you aren't the type of person a girl doesn't like as it is I don't see collecting models causing too many problems. lol
And yeah, if they are going to be repulsed by somewhat geeky things then they probably won't be the right person for most on this forum. =P
Oh and about the looking up the skirt thing.. I myself hadn't even done that. lol I just throught it was a cool model so bought it. Apparently though it's the natural thing to do..... lolol

XD Me and my girlfriend accidentaly started up a plushy collection in Japan, it's way too big now and we don't know where to put the things. o.o;;
I used to build a shitton of Gundam models, though I havent done any in a while and the last kit I made was a Lancelot from Code Geass and I still have an MKII from L-Gaim sitting unbuilt.
I've been thinking of getting the MG Unicorn Gundam though:
As far as figures, I used to have and collect some but I've mostly stopped, I mostly stick to mecha kits and figures and even then the only ones I have displayed in my room are a Nirvash and a MG Zeta Gundam.

Things like that creep me out more than 2girls and 1 cup.
I have a small collection (more gashapon), but it hard finding really good dynamic figures, one that are just standing are pretty boring, I like the ones in a combat pose or in some dynamic tableau or diorama. I also have to agree that there is a real shortage of good male figures, though some of the naruto battle scenes are very cool there are plenty of dudes with a good enough design to have a figure if just for the artistic merit (Jo Jo figures are good for this, plus the poses are already wacky). For female figures I like good costumes and lots of lifelikeness in the pose, and I dig lots of tendril like hair flowing (the Ah! Megami- sama resin models are gorgeous, shame I don't care much for the show. I kind of want the chun- li figure with her doing her spinning bird kick, nice and dynamic. I think i might add to my doll collection first, I have eyes on a full detail dragon swat team guy.

:lol That's not mine! I'm married, I couldn't get away with such an unhealthy obsession as a married person.... but you don't think that much is otaku?? how much more do you need to qualify? lol.. I have no figures, but I would love to get a few. Maybe Katamari, SF, Solid Snake. I love those Shunya Yamashita figures too. Sexy!

Oh my GAWD! My jaw fuckin' DROPPED when I saw that. It honestly dropped. That guy must either:
A) Never get laid
B) Keeps that part of his place under tight lock and key so no lady friends ever see it
Anyone's guess as to which one, but its A or B.
Man, I thought I felt a little like a geek just for having a Final Fantasy X Lulu figure. My girlfriend hated it and it collected dust in my closet, so I ebayed it for a decent price. The guy that bought it was soooo happy to have it, that I felt like selling it was a good move. At least somebody can put it out and display it.
I've still got a handful of Master Chiefs hidden in various spots of my kitchen. The GF thinks those are cute. Then I've got a mini-spartan in our 10 gallon fish tank. He's perfect in there, though I'm considering making the entire aquarium a Halo one complete with a crashed warthog and everything.
I'd love to own some of those naughty figures, but I just don't think I could get away with displaying them anywhere. If anyone I knew saw them, I'd be called out for being the total geek that I am, but have hidden fairly well all this time.
I'd end up keeping all the girlie ones in a box somewhere and only breaking them out when I'm by myself. Now tell me that doesn't make me creepy if somebody were to walk in. :lolI'm not much of a collector, but my parents got this for me for Christmas - and it's awesome. Aside from this I have a small Motoko figure and a Tachikoma plush from GitS. My parents on the other hand have probably well over $1500 worth of gaming/anime/dragon figures. They're insane.

I don't see the big deal. Some things are just viewed as being more nerdy than some things. I have a fairly large DVD collection on top of my video game collection. Who knows how many hundreds upon hundreds of dollars I've spent on games and DVDs. I'm sure some people would call it a waste of money and nerdy, but I don't care. As long as those figure models make people happy I don't see a thing wrong with it.

Hmmmm, needs 2 or 3 more packed shelves.

Yeah. This is a very small portion of my dad's collection. The Final Fantasy characters are displayed in the living room. My mom got him Bahamut and Leviathan from the Master Creatures set for Christmas. He hasn't figured out where to put those yet.
My dad got my mom a new Godzilla statue that now lives on the microwave along with the dancing Godzilla lego man soda topper thing.

I want the next place I move into to have at least one more room available. I need a "nerd room" for all my junk.
Why are they all in "ready to go" position?... if you know what I mean.
Absinthe said:
collecting dvds and games isn't anywhere near as bad as collecting girly figures. the plastic girls is like pimping out your place with cut up hustler mags... it's perverted but on a much creepier level.
it's fine and all if you want to do it but dont expect to get laid... well you probably could if you found someone just as odd like a furry but really i rather never get laid than go to that extreme.
DO WANT! ; ;
Errrmmmmmm, would you expect them to get laid if they didn't have figures......... My god, you guys are acting as though these girls know people have models from the very start...... Even then, like I said, if you don't repel women normally, they aren't going to turn tail and run because you collect some models. lol
I don't get you guys anyway, what's the point in being with a girl if she hates everything you like anyway. Stop worrying and just find someone who's interested.
