Is that resin or PVC? What's your source?

And er...who's kuraki suzuna?

I read that announcement yesterday. I wonder what Sexy Gal PVC means? I wonder if they'll have discounts on the Tenten Aya and Maya figure...heh heh. 15% sounds really good.

It's sorta like bonuslink points. You spend money, you get points. After a number of points, you can redeem for stuff. Something like that.

zomg...now i'm tempted!! AAAHHH MY SALARY GOING DOWN THE DRAIN!

RRP = Recommended Retail Price

ZOMG it's teh out! providence, can help me get a hold of this?!?! O_O

XL already sold out on this, although they still have another Mai Hime series if you're interested. I saw it in their Midvalley outlet. This is the one that they still have:

Mizuho-sensei does LV!!!! O_O""

Err...I think they're the same.

PVC = polyvinylchloride


Gashapons refer only to those figures which you can get inside plastic capsules. Because of the fact that they're packed like that, naturally they'd be smaller. Of course, chances are you'd never get those plastic capsules here in malaysia, cause retailers often buy in bulk to provide complete sets to buyers. Therefore you'll get them packed in plastic wrappings.

(Note the box at the top of the picture, as compared to the plastic capsules for gashapons)
Trading figures usually come in nicely packed boxes (right infested?), but sizes also range. Some could be as tall as 8-10cm, but there are shorters ones as well.


PVC figures are usually larger figures that come pre-painted, and no assembly is required (again, usually). They are usually packed in nice boxes.


Resin kits are usually unpainted figures, and assembly is normally required. You'll need to assemble them, and THEN paint them.

Hope I got the gist of it right.

Most of them, yes, although I think resin kits are not made from PVC. There could also be figures which are prepainted but are coldcast, something like "plaster of paris"-like material? Again, I'm not too sure, maybe infested could provide a better explanation. I'm quite new in the whole figure scene too, just started seriously couple of months ago.

About the brands, yikes I have no idea. I've not been exposed to THAT many brands to offer any advise.

Err...i dont understand your question. What scales? You mean like 1/100, 1/144, etc?

I second infested's opinion on Yujin's gashas. As proud owners of a couple of their figures, I must say they certainly look better than my Bandai ones.

DOH. Haha silly me.

What kind of figures are you looking for specifically? Gashapons? PVC figures? It would help if you have pictures too.

For starters, you can try checking www.xl-shop.com or other online retailers. Details can be found in the first post of this thread.

Damn Fusion[ex] you beat me to it. I was gonna post up pictures of the same set too.

Just got them today from XL. XD

XL was selling them for RM80.

But who cares, the figures are nice! The Ichigo one alone makes the whole set worth the moolah.

Actually it's one point for every RM20. XD

Ah, I read your post wrongly. Gomen.

The joys of living in Japan. T_T
