figures that take up a lot of space stays in box for me, like saeki, the GSC 1/7 Saber Lilies, Alter Vortigern, etc
At least the space taken up isnt doubled (by the box and figure separately).

Banana-riding Princess b!tch
Looks like most are oppai-type girls. My figures are quite diverse.
My latest collection i will post early next month - some of my figures in campus, some at home... gotta compile all of them first.

An email from them after an enquiry:

"Dear Sir,

Thank you for your e-mail and enquires.
We are sorry that we have no planning on the guilty crown figure of Inori Yuzuriha in the short time, sorry about that.
Thanks and best regards,
Sentinel International Co., Ltd"

No idea if it's a long delay or a cancellation. Gawd, Sentinel, please dun cancel Inori T.T

Quoted for FACT.

Fate/Zero also went all the way down the drain after started well; I'd say it is good until the part . After that everything sucked.

Empty's 1/7 Solange - Code of Princess. Both versions are exclusive.

Good Smile is having a Photography contest for GSC's figure owners. Scale Figure only.

I'm IN. But I guess my chances are low =( I dont own a DSLR and i suck in photoshop. /s I'd be happy enough to win a small prize.
1st prize = get any 10 figures of your choice O.o

https://event.goodsmile.info/photocon2013summer/en/

All scale figures by GSC/Max Factory/Phat/FREEing/Gift (any company associated to GSC), and only scale figures.

I have lots of GSC figures, but lacking ideas and a proper DSLR. But i often push my phone's camera capabilities to the limit to get decent shots.

LOOOL
I will get all the GSC Online exclusives, including 2 Lacias, and sell. PROFIT baby!

Not applicable to Skytube series ero figures though. They might be still available in M'sia but those FAULT girls already kena goreng sky high elsewhere, becoming rare, especially Saeki.

Because they do a shit job on them... Not all but many of them. Sculpts are decent for some of them but ends up screwing up the paint job.
I did have their Touwa Erio and sold it shortly after. She's beautiful but the paintjob on her hair strands and uniform are uneven.

The Fault girls are higher tier figures, comparing to my Erio that i sold, it has ZERO faults, no issues with paint, sculpt, or QC-related problem. This figure alone gave me some confidence about them. Well, it's obvious, 10k+yen figure comparing to popular anime figures that typically go for 6800 to 7800yen...

Crap, i keep being reminded about the figures i want to forget they existed, for the sake of my wallet

Im still looking for that for a reasonable price. But with my July orders i doubt i will be able to afford one.

Is that signum? Alter made one before, and yes, u guessed it, a giant.

DAT ASS
1/6 scale lolipettan @27cm for only 6800yen. Seriously considering one.
Colors are a bit too bland though.

Go watch the anime called Manyuu Hikenchou and you'll understand why boobs/non-loli cost more. Both in real life and maybe already applies to figures.

I dont think material is the reason; PVC is cheap. But, the amount of skill involved to carve a female body figure with natural curves and nice boobs compared to an airport runway body. The same explains why ero figures are expensive. It's all about skills of the sculptor.

That explains why many cheaper figures, the paint or sculpt of the hair is terrible. Kotobukiya's Asuna is also bad.
Speaking about fantastic hair sculpting, Tohsaka Rin UBW version is a very good example. It's quite complex.

Scales have no meaning in figures unless they are under the same product series. Alter's 1/7 loli girls from Nanoha are even bigger than 1/6 scale figures. And some of my 1/8 figures are bigger than my 1/7 figures.

That's a given; 1/10 = 15-16cm, very small, only Wave makes 1/10 i think. GSC's 1/8 Inori is 17cm but they call it 1/8 (should be around 1/9) and ask 7800yen for her. Sculpt is good for a small figure but the skin color is just off. Whereas some of my 1/8 scales go up to 23-24cm, not including the base.
