[The Take Out Bandit]

:lol Those come out of his arms how? :lol

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.

You know, I don't get the whole social smut thing. I mean, I enjoy it; but really - when my friends come over, we're not watching Angel Blade. Y'know?

And yeah anime clubs suck. Never any super robot shows or anything cool. It's all douche-y pedo-bait rubbish, panty shot rubbish, or pretty boys with inferior mecha design rubbish (GUNDAM WING I AM LOOKING AT YOU!).

It hurts to know that people aren't watching Godannar for the robots, but for the panties. >:|

Or that Gaogaigar's US release was probably canned after five disks, which I'm grateful for anyhow, because it didn't have enough pedo-bait to gets sales. >:|

I packed up a good portion of my DVD's and toys to prepare for my eventual move. So I've only got a few things on display at the moment.

I really need to stop wasting money on this crap. For a while I had a rule of only GGG toys and anything 12" or larger. Unfortunately that's gone to the wayside as more Mine Yoshizaki stuff is being made, game companies are reaching back to the awesome era I recall gaming in and strip mining that for figures to sell me, and awesome G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary 3 3/4th figures. b00h00

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

Look up some of the guys on this bored, they will do it for a reasonable price
www.hobbyfanatics.com
If I had to recommend anyone builder it would be
Cody
http://codyscoop.com/index.php
or
GameraBaenre
http://www.gamerabaenre.com

however I'm not 100% sure if Cody does commissioned work

It hurts to know that people aren't watching Godannar for the robots, but for the panties. >:|

I'm part of the problem =(

!!!

I really want those Persona 3 statues too!

I want the Aegis, Kirijo and Shujinko ones... X_X

 

[srst]

Is anyone getting this? Hot Toys 1/6 Appleseed figs.

 

[hteng]

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?

Gundam models are not really hard to paint, they aren't even that complex in design, they always use recurring colors, red, white, blue..etc. The ones that are really hardcore are those Five Star Stories Models, they are a beast to build and paint

to be honest, you can't really find those "old" type of models anymore (no color parts, solid material), they are extremely rare nowadays outside of japan, they are expensive, hard to produce and takes too much time to assemble, most vendors just don't import them.

Anyway, if you are looking for models that don't need to paint but still looks like its paint, then the Armored Core Series by Kotobukiya is the best, they come with painted parts and there are a ton of small components that makes the model extremely detailed (you can look at my pictures). That said, the models takes a while to build, roughly 5-6 hours just to assemble.

I believe Aegis has been on PA already and is sold out. It was different from the Mitsuru one I think. The main character is for sale there, but its different size than Mitsuru as well I think. Akihiko is the same size. I hope they make all of them after eachother, might get some more of them. I would like Ken as well, and the dog.

 

[Karmacide]

I have a SEGA Mina figure on my desk. I haven't seen the anime it was based on, but I love Densha Otoko and it is an attractive figure without being really expensive ($25 if I remember correctly).

[Karmacide]

This thread made me interested to get some more figures though. I'm currently watching these two on Ebay.

 

[LuCkymoON]

OMFG YES!!!
I Love AppleSeed! Where can I preorder XD?


and where the hell is everyone getting that Mina figure from >_<

 

[Bauer Action Hour]

I don't collect Gundams or girly figs but I do have a metric fuckton of Marvel Legends (plus some figures from its sister lines), in excess of 200 figures.

 

[Karmacide]

[Extollere]

Real quick guys...I'm heading out to Vancouver and Richmond tomorrow. I'm not from the area and don't know the place too well, where should I go if I wanna scope out some figures. I'd love to pick up something sweet while I'm here for my desk.

That's the one I wanted to get whilst in Japan, but, the one whilst I was there didn't have see through carrots.

Oh speak of, I am meant to sell one of mine which is in the other pose......

The only difference is the carrots are a solid colour. When I was there I didn't see any of the transparent carrot versions. :-/

Anyone want to make me an offer? It's still boxed, never been touched, etc. :-/

HOLY SHIT
MINE! MINE!

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

I pre-ordered them at bigbadtoystore.com as soon as they were announced. I got them last week but I was pissed off that I didn't get them sooner because I saw them at a collectors toy store at my local mall before I had them...gRrr...

ah, BBTS, thanks for reminding me of that site. Used to buy there a LOT

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

for the new movie I'm going to get this as well

need my Marvel fix, I'll also go with this

 

[Dot50Cal]

William Birkin

I don't much like this one. I preferred the Palisades Resin statue more:

 

[Chû Totoro]

Is there a way to find this one somewhere else than eBay ?

 

[Flek]

some serious densha love in this thread do like

 

[Tiduz]

and i REALLY want:

 

[evilromero]

Those NECA Castlevania and RE figures take the cake. Except for the girly Alucard. I would have preferred some Trevor Belmont scult but that's what series 2 is for.

 

[Powerslave]

hah I win!

 

[xBerserker]

I'll take some photos of my collection tonight

 

[Takuan]

Who's the sabre-rattling lady, and where did you get the piggy and Zim toys?

 

[Enron]

I have a small collection of vintage japanese toys, to go along with my slightly larger collection of gundam and macross. I used to keep a few out and about in college, so as not to look TOO nerdy but I stopped doing gundam kits in 2002 and put all that shit in the closet, at least until i can get a bigger place.

 

[Enron]

I dont really mind it too much, im glad 00 atleast has some good looking mechs because I dont own a single seed model.

I do own like 5 different version of the RX-78.

and I wish they would put out a Perfec Grade Alex or Sazabi, I want them so bad.

I bought the MG Sazabi when it was released in 2000. What a piece of shit that kit was. It was more like a giant HG.

 

[Dabookerman]

LADIES

Behold a figure most fantastic.

I am so buying it.

 

[tokkun]

Anyone know a shop I can buy a Pepsiman figure from that will ship to the US?

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

hah I win!

Pretty much.

 

[nny]

My tiny collection

Gir riding a piggy...do want. :/

 

[xBerserker]

Part of my collection I have several wolverine busts, but they are in storage right now.

Handmade Kodama's from Clay (made by my GF)


Wolverine Model I put together and painted

 

[Apharmd]

I bought the MG Sazabi when it was released in 2000. What a piece of shit that kit was. It was more like a giant HG.

yeah, though Patchwork made a resin conversion kit for the Sazabi that made it look like a fucking monster. A lot of subtle touches adding up to become pure awesome.

Generally if anyone's looking to purchase a new Master Grade/00 kit, check out www.dalong.net for detailed photo reviews. the site is in korean, but the images are universal.

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

I dont have any video game/anime stuff but I have a pretty big art toy collection. I'll try and post some pics tomorrow.

I saw some pics of some labbits in this thread; are there any other big labbit/dunny art toy fans here?

calling dunny's or anything by kidrobot 'art toys' is a fucking joke. i have collected japanese vinyl (secret base, bounty hunter, realxhead) for a while. the only decent western stuff is kaws' (early stuff is amazing, latest stuff sucks), biskup and kozik.

 

[Fuzzery]

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.

I'm not sure if there are any duplicates, probably? But he's very rich, and lives in the U.S., so it's possible that he has found a lot of different ones.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

those are awesome. Gonna buy em

also, found this Nick Fury one

also, holy shit at this Obi Wan

 

[rockman zx]

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Nice Kos-Mos collection. YOu need the Bome figure too.

Oh, that Nick Fury would be better with his five o'clock shadow. A clean shaven Fury = WEAKSAUCE!

 

[Ether_Snake]

THIS is a figure model!

 

[Zaptruder]

please don't derail my thread. There are plenty of threads around for that kinda material.

 

[Flo]

Who's the sabre-rattling lady, and where did you get the piggy and Zim toys?

That's Mitsuru from Persona 3.

The piggy came from ebay, I think it came with the limited Japanese Monster Hunter 2. I believe you can still find them. You can take its suit off, very cute and fluffy.

And the zim ones I got a video store here for next to nothing. I have Zim and Gir, my bf has Dib and Gaz.

 

[kiryogi]

YAY! Just got my Etrian Odyssey Medic today, I've been waiting for to get her for quite a while. If there's one thing I really treasure in PVC collecting, it's collecting rare or unique series PVCs such as Princess Crown or Etrian. Also unique ones like the Zero Mission Samus, since there really isn't any other decent Samus figures out there. Also got my set of FFT figures in today!

You sure? It looks like Amy from Soul Calibur 3.

:lol

Guess you're right. I haven't played SC3 in a while, but Amy is really really diminutive and uses a sabre. I couldn't remember what her clothes looked like. She's close though, right... right?

Bubububut they both have swords... and crap around their necks... and skirts. They are like twins. Almost indistinguishable.
