My personal experience and observation so far (highest to lowest quality):

Tier 1

1. Orchid Seed
2. Volks (All the scale figures they made are exclusive)
3. Alter/Hobby Japan
4. Max Factory/Native (They are the same company, by the way)
5. GSC

Tier 2
1. Kotobukiya
2. Megahouse
3. upLark
4. Alpha Max
5. PLUM
6. Phat Company

Tier 3 (Manufacturer in this tier are usually inconsistent,but if feedback is good for a particular figure you  can still go for it)

1. Griffon Enterprise
2. FREEing
3. Penguin Parade
4. Arcadia (Yamato)
5. Lechery (Kaitendoh)

Tier 4 (Just avoid for the sake of your wallet)

1. Chara-ani
2. CM Corporation

Already bankrupt:

Taki Corporation.Enjoy yourselves with the photos of their figures here.

Auctions ain't easy unless u have $$ prepared to pay any amount for it. YJA?

YJA. It's the shipping fee + service fee thru proxy which is the problem. If just shipping fee I could just throw 10k for kamineko. sad.gif
Anyone know where can buy things direct from Japan without thru proxy? Rakuten?

P.S Mandarake also sold out. sad.gif

Real waifu? Got target ady. This girl here, one of my campus anime club members (im one of the admin and the treasurer of the club), and our "maid"~ I bought her a maid outfit before to be used in some event, and i bought her a Bandai SHF Lelouch for her bday and she's so happy over it; she's a hardcore Code Geass fan. Her first figure.  biggrin.gif Just waiting for the day when she replaces my dakimakura.  brows.gif

Some people are complaing about her toe, some about her mouth, some about her price.
Dafuq you guys want everything to be perfect, want her to be SAL-able, want her to be waterproof, want her to be cheap.
GO DREAM LAH.

Btw, I'm ordering from Amiami, can anyone let me know what's the price will be like if she's not SAL-able? Have to take EMS or SAL parcel right? Should I just take EMS? hmm.gif Just want to calculate will kena kastam a not. smile.gif

I already predicted everything actually. Given the amount of anime i have watched, many are predictable, and i dont even care about spoilers people post in FB. Just watch it because i wanted to.  tongue.gif

somehow weird that no Tohka figure yet  hmm.gif

Yeah, not even leaks, rumours and all that. Weird. Either they're very tight on their mouths or they haven't even started on it yet. So far, I know Bandai has gotten the license for Date A Live, but their figures.... doh.gif

I don't know why but I don't like those bishoujo action figures can pose one.
Like Bandai AGP Blue Tears, nice to pose, awesome mechanical parts but they really screwed up Cecilia's face.
