As for hentai figures, if I were to own any, yes, they'd be more tasteful than tentacle rape. I prefer suggestive matter and tasteful erotica over boring nude figures anyday.
Although the hardcore stuff I would never own. Same with art, I just prefer tasteful (I dunno if that word even has any concrete meaning) over hardcore and in your face explicit.

does the Succubus not expose her breasts? im not for having naked plastic figures around the house, but that was part of her character.

They've got me haunting a family in Texas.
I bought a hentai gashapon with intent to display it prominently in my house, seeing as I didn't have other figures. I put my coin in, opened my capsule and was greeted with a nurse urinating in a pan. That was a bit more graphic than I was aiming for.
It never went on display.

Same reason I have a model of the character..... Whilst I was in Japan they were in the UFO machines but I couldn't get the normal pose (from Densha) version to save my life... I ended up getting two of her with her arms behind her....
Small image but you can see the difference.

I know so many people like you and I'm scared of all of you...Extollere said:disagreebut tasteful is relative so it's meaning varies from person to person. It's also relative to subject matter and context, which in this case is being compared to tentacle rape figures and such. Maybe I should say it's more tame instead? I dunno.

I'm getting the Castlevania set, it's just a matter of where and when. I had it preordered but it seems like the Ebay person decided to forget them...
Yes, Succubus has a removable top but it's fairly permanent. They glued it on, so you may need to touch up (!) the details after, but she's modelled and painted behind it.
I'm actually thinking of getting a spare Alucard and Succubus, and repainting Al to sprite accurate (white hair, red cape) and Succubus to the Rondo version (red clothes, blonde hair).
As for the murloc figure, I have three of those from BWI. Signed by the Blizzard folks, no less

wtf, my friend has a collection of over 50 psyducks, WHY IS IT PSYDUCKENN THAT IS SO POPULARZ, why are there no collection of squirtles, or charmanders, or pikachus, or something, WHY PSYDUCKiapetus said:I have no figure models as such, though I do have a terrifying collection of Psyducken if those count.
I can't believe that it took four pages of this thread before I stopped ignoring it on the basis that I'm not from Greece.

Yikes no. I don't even own one. But when I use to be in the Anime scene in my younger days, most of the fellow fans were really into the Hentai aspect, which was why I eventually bailed.Extollere said:you do? so you must make the figures?

I think it was more or less being surrounded by the Hentai lovers that creeped me out. They were EVERYWHERE in the scene. Every anime group meeting or show I was knee deep in it. Shit, I just wanted watch some giant robots and cool sci-fi stuff, LOLZ.

I have a bunch all over the house, I really want to display them somehow... But that's for another day...
What I REALLY want to get are...
- Genshiken set (pictured above)
- Suzumiya Haruhi in the bunny outfit with guitar
- Gyakuten Saiban 3 mini figurines
- Revoltech Yotsuba & Danboard
Here's one I keep at my computer desk...
I too, am much more a fan of Desha Otoko than of Getsumen To Heiki Mina... But I watched a few episodes with my daughter and it wasn't too bad...

Ah, I have that figure as well. I picked up an unopened box from the set and luckily actually got her. lol Don't know or care about the others in the anime. lol
Yuh there are a number of Haruhi models I want to pick up as well.... That's one of them. Buying them in the UK sucks though.
Woo, heres some pics of my old and cluttered room, with figures literally all over the place!
In my new room! Where I've basically stuck to collecting 1/8s instead of gashapons and so forth. All the stuff featured above is currently in storage now.
Not the best pics out there, but I do love collecting PVCs

where the heck did you find those Castlevania ones? Every site I check keeps saying they will be available in 2008, it's really frustrating because I want 'em NOW
Fuzzery said:
My guess is that it's something to do with the fact that Psyduck is awesome, whereas Pikachu is a nasty yellow rat. Over 50 Psyducks? That's impressive. All different, or with duplicates? Haven't been able to find more than the ones in that picture in the UK.
I do have a Pikachu necktie, but only because they don't do Psyduck ones.

Hey guys. Keep up the great work; thread turned out much better than I expected.
As for me, I think I'm going to start a small classy collection to be kept in a glass cabinet, with good lighting inside.
Like all geek things... they can look nice when you display them well. But if you keep them just anyhow, it doesn't matter how good it looked at the store on in the brochure, or even someone elses setup, it's not going to make your place look any better.
So... in that vein; anyone have very classy models figures that they're interested in?
And is it worth while going the paints for gundam models? You can't really get them looking too good without breaking out the airbrush IMO. But it's not worthwhile to do that for one or two of them... so does anyone know a place online for pre assembled, pre painted kits with a high standard of finish to them?
I know there are department stores in singapore that display and sell this stuff (and I imagine many other places too), but it's more of an asian thing, and not so much an australian thing.
Otherwise, anyone know of a high quality veritech fighter that looks the part in all 3 modes?

This thread has made my lust for figures grown again.
I saw some phoenix wright figures earlier, but I saw some close ups, and uhhh... Porbably not.
But, i must own some 1/6, 1/7 scale figures of Narusegawa, Motoko and Sakaki. I want some more girl figures dressed in very little clothing. Lei is a fruitening my collection a bit too much.
Also, far too many MGS figures.
Next year, I will get the 12" Raiden RAH figure, i want Old Snake, but they are expensive. also 5 7" 20th anniversary MGS figures will be coming out, at an affordable price thank god. But I must purchase them aswell.
Living in the UK sucks, because figure buying is far too expensive.

Revoltechs. Poseable small figures with really good sculpting and ratcheting joints.
There's a ton from a lot of anime/games. DMC Dante, Evangelion, Patlabor, Macross..

so good for making your own poses cool have to look into them thanks buddy!
Put down an order for the cammy I was talking about.
It's a good looking figure; got a chance to have a look of actual out of the box shots, and they look pretty good. The face is also better and softer looking (and thus sexier) than I first realised; although overall, still inferior to the original on display at mitumasa.com (unlike the Chun Li which is damn near identical).

http://akibahobby-a.sakura.ne.jp/2007/07/10/c005.jpg
Set me back 90 AUD including shipping. A fair bit cheaper than the Chun Li, but that one was ridiculously rare and made of polystone... which I have no idea what that is.
Edit:
Apparently Polystone is heavy PVC-stone powder compound. A bit like plaster of paris? But more durable... even slightly flexible with moderate amounts of heat. The material does explain the high cost though.
As for Cammy... the one significant flaw in this cast is the obvious seam line at her head. Can't see the rest of the figure betraying that, but oh well. At least I'm getting away with an awesome sculpt and relatively high quality cast everywhere else... I hope.

Continuing with the theme of few but high quality figures... I don't lust after much mecha; but the one that I am eyeing is this: http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?products_id=5759
RX 93-2 Hi-Nu Gundam. Another bastard rare gundam that mainly comes only via conversion kits, so you have to buy the Nu Gundam, then buy the conversion kit... and the conversion kit is pricier as well, due to the large number of subtle differences between them. Don't even know why they bother selling it as a conversion kit.
Only problem is... I don't have any intention of buying hundreds of dollars of painting and modelling equipment to do the piece justice. I mean, I'd be happy to waste the time doing it, but it's expensive enough as is.
But... does anyone know any commission model painters that could do this kinda stuff at a reasonable price to a high quality? What kind of prices should I be expecting for the work? 200? 400?
I need to get chummy with some model painter and borrow his stuff. ;o
