For Canadians who are still looking to preorder Umaru nendo (I think they also do international shipping, not sure):

Don't need to be Canadian. Thanks to the shitty CAD (sorry mates) it comes out pretty cheap for us 'Muricans.

Got my Noel nendo yesterday as part of my first monthly Hobbysearch order. They use smaller boxes than Ami and pack things snug, but I think I prefer this. The AmiAmi boxes were just too big.

Which is perfect cause you're on the balance of about to be banned by Amiami and staying in their graces

Nothing. I mean, I haven't logged into AmiAmi in like, two months.

Not paying for your orders? I did that not long ago and they just cancelled it and didn't say a word after that lol

Like I said, I haven't logged in in a couple months, so I don't know if my account is still there or not.
Either way, I'm much better with my orders now. Anything I'm not 100% sure of, I order from HLJ (and usually end up cancelling) XD.
Also, relevant.
Awesome. There's a pick-up at downtown. Hmm. Too bad it wasn't $10 cheaper.
overpriced as fuck
cheaper to buy+shipping fees from amiami (if they have it in stock i of course)

Yeah you have to pay extra $7 comparing to amiami, shipping is more expensive too, although I think it's the only place that has her in stock besides crunchyroll (which has like $30 shipping fee)

Amiami just did a big pre-owned update, and I found this little gal for 7.8k and jumped at it :
Her and Harvest Moon Miku are gonna have a party...

There is actually an older nendoroid and I just bought the other one from this seller.
But for $50 CDN, you can get a new Shinguji Sakura if any of you also fancy Sakura Wars.
http://m.ebay.com/itm/Nendoroid-Sakura-Shinguji-Koubu-Set-235-/151765473655?nav=SEARCH
She's especially pricey here in Japan because she's no longer in production. The Amazon.jp resellers have her at higher prices compared to eBay.

I have 7 unopened right now, picked up Mario at Gen Con even after I promised myself I wouldn't buy another one until I opened the rest. :'(
And I have Vader and a Stormtrooper on pre-order.....
If you want to discuss Nendoroids and other figures too we have a Myfigurecollection group/forum here too: http://myfigurecollection.net/club/962/discussions/!

So is the the Vader and stormtrooper going to make it this month or will they be delayed?
It looks like it? The only thing AmiAmi delayed on my order thus far is my Gatchaman G-1 figure.

It's still early in the month. Plenty of time for a delay to creep in.

NOOOO~
Gatchaman G1 being delayed means that my September order will inflate from 27k to 34k in price and that's not including shipping. T_T
I don't think I have the ability to budget 45k+ order.
If they have to delay those 2, may as well delayed it all the way to February next year, when I have nothing to order.....yet. XD
Freezasaurus
Member
That's okay. Something from your September order will probably get delayed. And your Gatchaman G1 will probably get another delay. See how it snowballs?
Good thinking! Since Gatchman G2 meant to ship in September, G1's delay likely meant G2 will be delayed too, rite? >_>
Oh God, October is even worse. Why not delayed everything to November figure makers? I only have 3k order. That is not right. It must be rectified.
I just waiting to see if Lucina gets delay again so hell will break loose.
Do quite a few nendos get delayed? It seems more on the uncommon or even rare side, least nowadays.
I've been getting a Nendo or Figma almost every month lately, and Nendos usually get a delay for a month, Figmas seem worse I guess? Lucina's wait sucks v_v

Finally got Monokuma. I feel like I have to get Monomi now but so expensive
Finally got Monokuma. I feel like I have to get Monomi now but so expensive
Patience! I actually was browsing for Monomi once and she was like around MSRP at like $40ish, and suddenly jumped to like $80+ a couples months later! However, I was able to find her for a good price. I think it was from a Malaysian seller, but completely legit
Just starting looking, watching, and yeah you can get lucky with finding a good buy
(BTW the Monokuma is SUPER photogenic on his own. I currently use a photo I took of it for my phone wallpaper.)

Nendoroid Petite: LoveLive! Angelic Angel Ver.
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
I love folding fans that have a nice scent to them! Whenever someone uses one beside me in the train I always get excited! (I dont own one myself though )
Anyway, today Im going to be taking a look at
Nendoroid Petite:
LoveLive! Angelic Angel Ver.♥︎
Oooooooooohhh!! (/ω＼
The μs members are back again this time from their outfits that were used in LoveLive! The School Idol Movie! These were only just revealed last weekend at Wonder Festival and they are already set to go up for preorders! ♥︎
The outfits definitely give the group a more mature air compared to their other outfits! (*´Д｀
Lets take a look at each of the different school years! ☆
- First Years -
- Second Years -
- Third Years -
All the small details of their outfits and hair accessories have been shrunk down beautifully!! ♪
The dynamic feeling of each pose and the way the hair and outfit has been sculpted to match it is simply amazing to see on such small figures! Its hard to believe these are only 60mm tall figures! (●´ω｀●
The neck also features a ball joint allowing you to move the heads for slightly different nuances when posing!
Lets take a look at them one-by-one! ♡

Nendoroid Kotori Minami: Training Outfit Ver.
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
Im so clumsy with my hands that I have managed to cut more of my actual clothes instead of the threads I meant to cut in home economics classes the scissors were so sharp I didnt notice until it was far too late !
Anyway, today Im going to be taking a look at
Nendoroid Kotori Minami:
Training Outfit Ver.
Kotori-chaaan!! (´□｀｡
The innocent and relaxed Kotori Minami is joining the training outfit series of LoveLive! Nendoroids! ♥︎
She is the third in the series following on from Honoka-chan and Umi-chan! ♪
Anyway, lets get back to Kotori-chan! Starting off with her clothes!
Her outfit has a super frilly skirt and an off shoulder top! Even the frills on the ends on the outfit have been carefully included on the Nendoroid design! ♥︎
The arm and leg warmers match up with the outfit nicely too! Excellent color coordination!
Not that we expect anything less of the μs outfit designer! ε=(｡・д・｡
She even comes with a sketchbook showing off her latest designs!
Thanks to the support of the publisher, the sketchbook makes use of exact data from the actual series!
The outfit from Honoka, Umi and Kotoris first stage, START
Its all thanks to this sketchbook that the μs members have such cute outfits!
Anyway, lets take a look at Kotori-chans alternate expression a pleading expression!! ☆
Its so cute!! (●´ω｀●
Noone would say no to that face!
It also reminds me of a certain scene with Honoka-chan !
The μs members are so much fun to display together! Plus by changing expression, arms and all the different angles they are placed at you really can create all sorts of different poses! ♪
△ Practising her singing! ★
By the way! You can of course use all of the original Nendoroid Kotoris expressions on this version as well! ヽ(*・ω・
The blank looking expression suits her training outfit look father nicely! ♥︎
She also comes with the holding hand parts!

Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45: Heros Edition
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
Im becoming better and better friends with my air conditioner almost every day! I dont think Id get through this Summer without you by my side !
Anyway, today Im going to be taking a look at
Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45: Heros Edition
Oooooohhh!! ₍ (ง >ω<)ว ⁾⁾
The Iron Man Nendoroid series continues to get upgraded to the next version! The 45th armor that had a rather large role in the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron is also joining the Nendoroid series! ☆
This time around the suit definitely has a more dense feeling of red to it compared to the previous versions!! (/ω＼
The jumps between colors and the intricate little details of the body are all beautifully done!! Even from the back he looks amazing!!
How can something so cute and tiny be so epic looking?!
The Nendoroid is fully articulated meaning that if you balance him carefully you can easily balance him like this! As I mentioned before, the detailed lines of the sculpt are incredible take a close look at his back as well as the area around the knees here!! <○><○>
As with the previous models he also comes with arm and leg effect parts for flying and combat scenes!
△ Fully articulated & twistable hip section for all sorts of poses!
Those of you who have been paying attention may have already noticed, but this version of Iron Man also comes with a rather special base!
If youve seen the film or even the trailer you might recognise this!
Its a base made in the image of the climax scene of the film! You can actually see it in the 90 second Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer at around the 80 second mark!
This is only half of the base
but the other half is coming!!
The second half of the base will be included with
Nendoroid Captain America!
He will be following Iron Man shortly!!☆
He is currently still in production, but as soon as I have any news about him Ill be sure to share it with everyone!!
Anyway, lets get back to Iron Man!! ( つ̀ώ
Once again he comes with a special left leg part that allows you to recreate the famous landing pose with him punching into the ground!
You can see the turnable chest are also helps a lot in making this pose look great! ♡
Additionally, the Mark 45 also comes with an all new Tony Stark expression part to show off his unmasked form too!
This time he looks serious and ready for business!
Mr. Stark might best be known for his more sarcastic and funny expressions, but he can at times be rather serious as well! An alternate back and front hair part is also included allowing you to display him with the helmet completely removed! ♪
Simply choose whatever you think suits him best!! ε=(｡・д・｡

Nendoroid Shirou Emiya
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
I am being ruthlessly attacked by more and more mosquitoes with each passing night! Ah, the wonders of Summer!
Anyway, today Im going to be taking a look at a figure currently up for preorder
Nendoroid Shirou Emiya!
I hope you have enough weapons available!
The hero of justice who strives to make everyone happy! The Homurahara Academy second year student Shirou Emiya is joining the Nendoroids! He also comes with his swords Kanshou and Bakuya although even wilding them he still looks rather harmless!! This is why he is known as the gentle hero of justice!!
△ From the back he definitely looks ready for battle!
He also comes with another weapon as an optional part! The rolled up poster infused with magic that he used in the fight against Lancer!! ヽ(*・ω・
He even includes special arm parts to display him ready to depend himself! ☆
By the way!
His standard arm is fitted with a non-standard point of articulation that allows for slightly more movement, which means you can move the swords around like so!
Of course the shoulder section is also movable like any other standard Nendoroids, and the combination of those two moving parts actually allows for lots of poses that work even for combat scenes! (｀・ω・´)ゞ
△ Slightly bent leg parts also add to the dynamic effect! ♪
The combat expression above also has another alternate use!
He comes with a hand part that displays him making use of his command spell the ability to command ones servant with absolute obedience!
Look at the details of the mark on his tiny hand!!
Looking at a bit of an angle also allows you to see the eyebrows often covered by his hair rather nicely! Its amazing how much a small and cute figure can capture such a strong will within the expression!!
Finally, his third expression is quite a jump from the serious expression above
An embarrassed expression!
Awwwwwww!!! (´□｀｡
A complete change from the last expression! The way he is scratching his cheek also captures Emiya so perfectly!! I just had to display him with a certain Red Demon ! ♥︎
Displayed together with Nendoroid Rin Tohsaka!
The combination of their two embarrassed expression really gets the imagination running!! Anyway, you can see that you can easily pose both epic fighting scenes as well as the more gentle everyday life side of Emiyas life! (｡･ω･

Preview: Chocolte - K-On!: Tsumugi, Mio & Ui Complete Figures by Broccoli
This is Meshi, here to serve up another heaping helping of figure previews. Today we escape the summer heat with tiny girls and sugary treats. Let's dig in!
Chocolte - K-On!: Tsumugi Kotobuki Complete Figure [Broccoli]
Normally the drummer counts us in but we're kicking this one off with HTT's keyboardist Tsumugi! In SD form Mugi-chan's unique aura feels like the macaroon in her hands--voluminous yet airy, classy and oh so sweet.
There's an incredible amount of texture for such a simple figure, from the shiny vinyl feel of her kiwi fruit floatie to the silken matte finish of her beach hat and skin.
You can also remove her hat for a better look at her incredible head of marshmallow-like hair. On or off--she's a treat no matter how you display her!
Chocolte - K-On!: Azusa Nakano Complete Figure [Broccoli]
Next up is Azu-nyan! Her black twin tails look as luscious as the strawberry she's cradling while her blush is just as red.
These frills compliment the apparent age of this SD Azusa perfectly. Let's hope she remember to put on the sunscreen this time!
If the 00s had a best girl contest, there's no doubt that Azusa would be a forerunner with her complex simplicity. Now on to Yui~!
Chocolte - K-On!: Ui Hirasawa Complete Figure [Broccoli]
Ui-chan's an underclassman but far from underclassed in this white bikini! Knowing that the other half of this ice cream is for Yui doesn't do anything to stop my imagination from running wild.
The SD treatment has done wonders for Ui's figure. Fans of baby fat are going to have a hard time deciding which direction to display her in!
On second thought, this smile is worth a thousand pudgy backsides. Don't turn away from this important member of the K-On! universe!

Preview: Nendoroid - High Score Girl: Akira Oono by Good Smile Company
The Oono Zaibatsu's mysterious heir would trade her family fortune for some fried squid and a 90s arcade cabinet. That's right--today we're looking at the High Score Girl herself, Akira Oono!
Nendoroid - High Score Girl: Akira Oono [Good Smile Company]
Gifted with both beauty and skill, this girl is silent but deadly in the arcade! Naturally interchangeable parts allow her to sit down at the included game cabinet.
Here's her Angry face. Rensuke Oshikiri's wonderfully bizarre expressions are right at home in the Nendoroid universe! Just don't let her hit the machine with this brutal punch effect!
This snacktime expression part and grilled squid accessory would look just as good in a matsuri setting but you can be rest assured she's eating this in a dingy arcade.
The cabinet itself is super detailed, with the High Score Girl title screen, teeny buttons and joystick and the realistic stool. Best of all, it can be used with your other Nendos too!

Preview: Fire Emblem: Awakening - Cordelia 1/7 Complete Figure by Good Smile Company
This is Meshi, here to serve up another heaping helping of figure previews.
Cordelia soars high above her peers--and it's not just because she rides a Pegasus! Let's dig in and see what puts her at the top of her character class.
Fire Emblem: Awakening - Cordelia 1/7 Complete Figure [Good Smile Company]
Cordelia takes a firm step that sends ripples through the translucent base all the way to my heart. Speaking of firm, get a gander at that... stone wing rising through the water! Everything about the scene is steeped in the game's personality.
Her calm, beautiful face hides her emotions but gives her away as the creation of character designer Yusuke Kozaki. She looks exactly the way I remember her from the in-game talk events!
The crest design that runs down her tunic flows as elegantly as her hair. And lest you forget that you're gazing upon the body of a seasoned warrior, her spear is ready to strike with a quick twist of her slender hips.
Cordelia normally keeps her breastplate on to hide her small chest but as any good general knows, bigger is not always better.
I can't decide which is more beautiful--the ripples on the base, or her waifish face in profile. This is an item for the true figure connoisseur.
Her proud red hair is separated into fiery wisps with a life of their own. See them dance, like a candle in the wind.
Don't let the buckles on her garter belt distract you from the engraved details of her lance! The cloth wrapped around the grip is potent with the sweat of countless battles while the shining silver shaft suggests that she keeps that pole polished.
The marble Pegasus wing has enough detail to be a stand-alone figure! You can feel the literal horsepower driving its mighty flaps. Don't fail to notice the aforementioned breastplate hanging from a stone feather, either.
Underneath the armor and war similes Cordelia is a bishojo after all. Who's the lucky guy that gets to be the father of her daughter, Severa?
Bathe the battlefield (and your figure shelf) in red with this beauty that's ready to rumble!

All you really do is buy their forwarding ticket, then describe what you're buying and link to it. Just make sure what you are forwarding addresses you in the same name to the one you use on BiJ.

Anyone got details on when the Marth nendo will be available?
I recently got in to Digimon and that Digivice looks really cool. I wonder when it will be available. Also that Revolver Ocelot figure is ace. @_@
