Ikea Detolfs are the default recommendations. The limitation of it though is that it's a square footprint. If you want rectangular, then you have to look elsewhere (which I'd be interested in knowing too!)


Wow those look perfect. We have a giant Ikea store opening in 2 weeks here in Denver, might go see if they sell it in store and if it's on their grand opening sale.

Where do you guys keep all this stuff? Man cave? I would love to have a few pieces to incorporate into a man cave (Hot Toys and Sideshow have some nice pieces) but I wouldn't dedicate the whole space to figures.

I'm looking for a storage solution myself. I have no space for all my figures. Sadly many of them remain boxed.

Same... :(

I actually cycle through them annually, taking some out, and putting some away. It's a big hassle.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Square Enix Play Arts Kai bringing the noise to SDCC! If I weren't a junior I'd post a thread on the gaming side (if that would make sense?):

More figures!

I have been looking for something like this for a while. The price is nice too! Might pick a few of these up. Thanks for posting.

I've recently wanted to start buying some figures and models. Sexy anime type stuff.
I bought an Ikki Tousen figure for pretty cheap on eBay.

But man, these things are not cheap. I see the most awesome figures, especially Ikki Tousen stuff, but they are pricey.

Just picked up this figure from Amazon for $49 but hasn't shipped yet:

Kotobukiya%20Bishoujo%20Statue%20-%20Supergirl%200003.jpg


Will be my second Kotobukiya Bishoujo figure in a week. Never owned any type of figure like this before. My other figure is the Bishoujo Catwoman which I love. Anyone who happens to own both, can you compare Supergirl's size to Catwoman? Quality?

The announcement at SDCC11 of Kotobukiya making a Bishoujo of Liara from ME3.. I was drooling. Also can't wait for Mystique and Poison Ivy.

Supergirl appears to be of a bigger scale than Catwoman; from length of arms alone I would say it's safe to say she's larger. Also, the peg of her foot that holds her onto the base is much longer and seems more secure than the one keeping Catwoman perched on her base.

Supergirl's also slightly taller than Wonder Woman, though she's standing perched on a cloud and WW is firmly planted to her base, and would be considerably so were she standing fully upright as WW is.

Oooh! I want. It'd compliment my Phoenix figure quite nicely.

Thank you, I appreciate the insight into the scale! Can you comment on the paint application? I have heard some not so great things about the S on the chest, but everything else seems to be great. Also, what's up with the one strand of hair sticking up? Seems out of place, lol.

Shared this with the VC thread the other day but you general figure peeps might like:

Swimsuit Selvaria by Alter:

Sold!

Though why she's half wearing her swimsuit, half wearing her normal uniform is beyond me.

The S-shield is definitely the worst thing about the statue, not only because of the paint scheme (its red is two-toned, the S darker and glossier than the border) but because it's rather poorly formed, especially the S itself. That could have something to do with the figure's, ahem, curviness, but it's been done better elsewhere.

Also, the hair sticking up from the bangs is just an anime thing. The Wonder Woman figure had it too.

i used to have a robocop toy next to my bed. My lady friend said i should be it somewhere else.

Tell her if that's how she feels about Robocop, maybe you'll start to feel the same way about her.

Grow a pair.

Saw this in stores, and was NOT impressed. It looked nothing like the prototype shots. :(
I've seen better Shunya figures.

Gaf, I was wondering if you could help me.

A few months ago I went to an Expo anime-cosplay-japanese related. As a souvenir I bring home some figurines, small ones, just to remember how a great day it was.

The thing is... I have no idea who they are or where from, I was wondering if I take some pictures would you be kind to identify and tell where and who are they please?

Because I'm curious, thank you in advance.

I would give it a try, sure.

These two are from Gundam SEED/SEED Destiny. The 2nd one is definitly Meyrin Hawke. I can't tell if the 1st one is her or if it's supposed to be Flay Allster.

Both are Meyrin, Flay has an entirely different uniform.
 
D'oh! I thought this was about painting figures. I just started painting one! Ive so far really like the Reaper and Pathfinder brands and the minis are really small so you need a steady hand. Been fun so far.
 
I love looking at models like this when I venture into a comic store. Unfortunately here in Aus, these things seem to be prohibitavely expensive.
