That's a sweet idea! (need to find one that's 2-wide, rather than 4-wide).
I also like the LED lighting on the side rather than one halogen in the middle.

Are you displaying these in any display cases/cabinets? I want to pick up some low cost ones with good easy access to dusting/cleaning/adjustments.
I hear about the Ikea detolf ones but I'm just wondering if there are even cheaper alternatives.

Too bad the final edition is 1 - a different pose, and 2- no massive megaphone speaker towers.
Derp derp I'm dancin'!

Not so fast there dude! The GoodSmile online shop is the only place you can buy the deluxe version that includes the megaphone speaker towers:radiantdreamer said:

Be prepared to pay a deluxe price though.

That Varia Suit Samus is SICK! I'm gonna order three, one to open, one to keep sealed and one to sell when the demand (yet again) outruns the supply.
Will probably pick up the Zero Suit too, depends on if I can sell my old Yujin figure.

That's the original fan video for the song, which is where the whole thing ultimately traces back to.

Right, I've decided to sell off my Yujin Zero Mission Samus. I don't need to have all versions of Samus and I can't justify holding on to this since the collectible value of it is so high.

Do any of you know about Bandai's Chogokin line? Are they usually good quality figures? I am thinking of getting this and it looks like it'll cost me about $130 in total.

They're usually not too bad. One of my coworkers collects them.

Why anyone would pay that kind of price with the Max Factory Zero Suit Samus on the way is beyond me...but hey, good luck.SiegfriedFM said:

In other news, Kotobukiya and EA have posted prototype shots of the Bishoujo Liara on Facebook.
Shots:
1 2 3 Concept
There's over 3000 comments on the EA page whining "Get your animu out of my western game!" and "Stop sexing up Liara!". Personally, I think it looks pretty great overall, especially the concept, but the prototype face is looking a little too cherubic for my tastes.

Thanks. I think I might order it. Would you also happen to know if they hold their resale value? If I don't like it, I would at least like to recover 60%-70% of what I paid.

Yeah.. there's so much detail on the costume that... I feel paranoid about moving it around too much. I don't want to accidently mess up the rubber webbing that layers the fabricAngry Fork said:
I made an attempt to take some better pictures of my Enterbay Storm Warrior: Cloud 1/6 figure. Minor photoshop touch ups to make up for the lack of good lighting in my room. The detail on the costume is truly very beautiful.

oh shit, Zero is out?! Bigbadtoystore needs to hurry up and send mine. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my X figure.
Figured you guys might appreciate this, I have a blog where I take a picture of a toy a day that is in my collection. Love to share this with other collectors

I recently started getting into Dunnys. Jesus christ, they suck you in with a licensed property (Street fighter and South Park for me) and it snowballs from there. I went to a signing with Huck Gee for the release of the Gold Life figures. They're so rad!

It seems that Kotobukiya has been snagging Shunya a lot lately to do concepts. A bit disappointed that the prototype so far doesn't have Shunya's style in it, but it might look better once it's colored. On the fence. Liara was my romance option simply because I was playing a lesbian femshep.
Got my Yui Nendoroid (K-ON haters gonna hate)
It's my first figure, I guess (if a nendoroid is still considered a figure, or figurine). Totally adorable though. My wife is jelly, since she wanted it for her desk. Muahahah! (goddamn these things are expensive for what they are)
Still want a Homura nendoroid, and a shuniya yamashita figure :/

Nice! Welcome to the fold, and yes, Nendos are figures in my book.

Nice!
I'll check out your blog soon. I didn't get a chance to get any of the Gold Lifes yet, but I know somewhere that might still have them as they're kind of off the beaten path. I'm also going to Chicago on Saturday for an event at their major toy store.NihonTiger90

Damn, how quick do the POP figures sell out?! Was interested in the new Chopper and Luffy figures, no websites seem to be taking pre-orders at a reasonable price.

I bought 6 blind boxes, fell in love then got a case. Managed to get the whole set except the super rare one, naturally (Tarzo the unknown Rifleman). I have some extras if you're interested, I can PM you a list. I would rather they go to a fan/collector than put them up on Ebay. I've seen two that I sold get re-listed =/.
Anyone own the Play Arts Kai Chris Redfield? Seems I missed that boat but reviews seem to be negative. Oh well, NECA's will do.
where did you buy it? I thought they were sold out.Extollere said:Got my Yui Nendoroid (K-ON haters gonna hate)

Sure, go ahead and send me a list.
Also, I don;t have that Play Arts Kai but I have reviewed four of them so far. Other than Snake's bulky armor causing problems for me, I've liked all four of them pretty much.

Answer: faster than you can possibly imagine. The P.O.P. figures are generally ones you have to be there the second pre-orders open or you don't get them. One of my friends is a huge collector of the series and he often has to stay up into the wee hours of the morning to try and get one.

Just found out about POP when I decided I want one nice figure each for the main crew. I don't want to shell out a premium for each.
For now, toylogics is still taking pre-orders and I placed an order with them. Hopefully they come through. (Though their release date seems to be a couple of months after the other websites. Not too sure if they will be able to fulfill orders.)

Wouldn't a more effective business strategy be to create enough to supply demand? It's not like the company makes money off inflated aftermarket sales.NihonTiger90 said:
