What are the best stands for the MGS Play Arts Kai figures and where can I get some?
My bent-up coat hangers need to go.

I love getting new toys.
Hot Toys' Iron Man Mark I 2.0. The paint job and attention to detail is just astounding. Look at all that stuff on his back!
This purchase also marks the completion of my Iron Man armory until the Mark VII is out. Happy day!

Don't post often because I only have a few figures to my name.... BUT I just recently bought this (for an absurd amount.... damn limited quantities). Almost got scammed by a bootleg at first too, luckily I had a lightbulb go off in my head. Though this also made me question my previous purchases.. and looks like I've been duped before. Not sure how I didn't notice, plainly obvious.
Currently inbound from Japan at the moment.
edit: Seems I'm not the only one.

I got duped before cause I didn't know bootlegs existed. It was for the Tashigi P.O.P. figure. Was plainly obvious once I actually looked at the quality of the figure compared to my other one. Luckily my Bon Clay is valid. (far as I can tell).
This time for robin I went to buy it off of amazon (it was in stock which I found odd.. but figured I was lucky). Went through with the order. A day went.. no word on it shipping.. so I got worried that maybe they had run out of stock. So I poked around other places that might have it... and noticed the box art was different than the one I purchased. I had noted that there were people selling fakes but for way underpriced and advertising them as fakes... so I put 2 and 2 together.
Cancelled my order, and found a reputable site actually selling them, though for 140 bucks (FUCK). Made the order anyways, and that site actually sold out shortly after.

I have an extra one still boxed in brown shipper next to me.
So where do you guys actually buy these? I assume you have to have them preordered way in advanced to get them at normal prices? This was a spur of the moment just happened to come across a picture of it purchase for me.

I preorder off HLJ and AmiAmi. I can NEVER hit up the other Japanese sites. Routing sucks and I never can complete orders.
You have to hit these releases up like the first minute they go online for preorders for the better discounts.
Post pre-order frenzy though, there's fair priced preorders from www.animarket.com and www.thegrandlineshop.com ; the latter being sometimes right after the initial release wave or sometimes a bit further later.

Man, I would be on that so fast if the breasts were reduced some. I know it's Oda's style now but Robin's one of my faves.
Ya they're a bit much, hopefully I don't get any flak for having the figure in my office.
Just preordered this sweet Skyward Sword Link figure. Ships in January - will look good next to my OoT Link and Ganondorf.
Preordered this a few days ago. First time purchasing a figure and first time ordering something outside of North America. Both excited and disappointed in myself lolol.
Just won this on ebay. She's so cute I couldn't resist. I love Shunya's style. Now I need to grab Rei.
I ordered Rei because this was coming out. Then the shop where I ordered Asuka from messed it up and lost the entire shipment. My Rei is lonely ;_;

So Link has slipped to January? Does anyone know how Ami Ami handles preorders? I have another item from there that's being released soon. Can I move Link to a separate order and maybe add something else?

I'm not digging Spike either, unfortunately. Could be an instant buy for me if it was nicer.
The stands they're using in those photos are ACE. Can stands that look like that be purchased? I found a bunch of cheapos on Amazon but these are slick looking

The next Marvel Bishoujo is Kitty Pryde.

Not really super into figures, but my bro is, and he's got tons of Hot Toys and stuff. Anyway he got me a Samus Figma as a gift, so I took to it with my camera.
The toy is neat - kinda makes me want the SKyward Sword link version.
now that is the samus I want to see.

Hmm, not sure I want that. On the one hand, it's X-Men, but on the other hand, it doesn't look that great. Maybe the final version will look better.

That's awesome!
I guess I should show off my new Nendoroids I got recently.
Damn. Good on you for catching that shit though. I hate knock-offs with a passion when they're trying to be passed as genuine.

Search for "doll stands." I was looking for the Kai Arts Mass Effect figs. They're like that price but it was a pack of 12 most of the time. I haven't bought any so I can't comment on quality

Finally... (Though he showed up earlier than I was expecting tbh):
And yes, the box was far bigger than I was expecting... Now to find time to assemble the big guy...

I took those.
We have better ones we got Saturday that we'll be uploading as soon as I get home. Those were from in front of the glass and we got others behind the glass.I agree, though, that I'm not really liking the expression. Something is wrong with that face, just like Power Girl.

Yeah, I've seen the new pics. Still not sold on her face at the moment, I would really like to see Shunya's original illustration for comparison. Hopefully they will make some changes after hearing the feedback.
I thought Power Girl's face was spot on, it captures almost everything from the original illustration. She has that spunky look to me.
Oh and I visit Tomopop everyday *blushes*
It's hilarious and ridiculous and completely awesome. I basically never get Nendoroids because they're terrible value propositions compared to good quality PVC figures (especially for importing if you don't buy a bunch at once), but I just had to get it.

Thanks! Always nice to meet more readers
I think they'll make a few changes with some feedback. It really just needs some tweaking more than anything at the moment.
I think the thing I don't like about PG is actually the area around the eyes. Seems a little too heavy on the lashes or mascara, and from the few times I've seen her, she looks a bit exhausted to me, lol. I also forgot to check and see if they fixed that nasty seam on her left shoulder (it wasn't from the costume) but I'm hopeful they did.
That's just me, though.
If you guys haven't, we posted pics of the Vash the Stampede prototype this morning from the show. It looks awesome.

That's the only thing that's stopping me from ordering her. From the official pics I've seen it looks like it's still there. I might change my mind once the review is out.
I don't know why they had to take her already huge boobs and inflate them with even more helium.
It looks like her boobs are trying to float away and escape. I think it really detracts from the figure. You can at last make the argument that in the original illustration, they are being held up by her obi.
I still may order anyway to go with Momohime...but, Alter
Her boobs are the reason I can't bring myself to get this figure. I don't mind that they're large, but, they're just... TOO large... which ends up detracting from the beauty of the rest of the figure. If she looked more like the illustration chest-wise, I would like it more. :< Still glad I managed to snag a Momohime pre-order for my BF though.
So despite not knowing anything about the character/game, I preordered this guy:
I mean, I just love everything about it. The dynamic pose, the hoverboard, the dog thing, the headphones, the random crap everywhere. It's extremely eye-catching, and kind of exemplifies why I buy figures in the first place. I only wish that my favorite guy characters got this kind of figure treatment.
I admit that I hesitated on this figure too, for the boobs. As a girl figure collector I avoid most of the super-sexualized characters if I can help it, if only because I feel it detracts from the overall design of the character. But I picked this one up anyway because I love the design. I just don't know why they did her before Kisuke. Besides boobs, anyway.

Recent pick-up came in: Rita Mordio from Tales of Vesperia.
Really happy to have her in!
She's adorable! I'm pretty in love with the Tales figures they've come out with lately, but I've never played any of the games (save for a brief playing of Abyss) so I don't have any of them.

Omg. I told myself I wasn't going to buy more figmas because they're too small, but I might have to buy this unless they announce a larger scale Labrys.
Already have Chie, got Yukiko and Aigis on order. This is a no brainer man!

She really is!
If you get around to wanting to play a Tales game, Vesperia's a pretty solid way to go.
