Out of topic, but .....oh shit 



Ended up I have to pay an extra 40 bucks for my 1/7 kamineko which I ordered few days back from AmiAmi.  Maybe I'll just drop. Shoud I? Scared I'll get banned. 

You've got experience huh? 

Was considering this. The artwork seems detail. Issue will be when theres nieces around.  How much does this cost roughly?

And I found something I like.

Anyone going for this?


Kinda pricey, and I don't know how KyoAni's quality is. 

can't wait for the final product of this     

From which manufacture? Damn, I gonna go broke.

Sharing some of my random collections photos..

Started collecting PVC/statue/models 2 months ago. Overpoison myself from reading/researching forum too much. Now trying to retire.. No money to fund this hobby for long term..

I see. I started model collecting when i bumped into Metal Gear Rex by ThreeA. The monster was a love at first sight. That caused a fatal chain reaction as now i understand MGR rex pricing gave me an indirect illusion that all PVC seems cheaper, and i started buying more and more. Bad move i guess. But you are right in a way most of my figurine are from games (Playstation). I watch anime and also play games, but somehow PS games gave me a deeper impact maybe cause of the story line. Odin sphere, Metal Gear Solid, Tekken series, are some of the examples. But coultnt deny that there are some anime PVC statue which i never watch like Saber Lily, Xenosaga caugh the attention of most collectors.

Read lots of discussion here (or in V8) on PVC shelf life, ways to maintain and other advice sharing from fellow forumers here. Been lurking for a while. Until i realize there were too much box behind me that it wasnt a good sight to some.. TBH I find it hard to explain to family about this hobby.. Art?

how much u all preorder for the orchid seed alleyne including shipping into malaysia? saw local shop taking at rm420 

420rm is fair consider the malaysia custom factor

bootleg?

By far now the best choice seems to be detolf. IMHO, detolf is the last choice i would consider. It makes all the PVC looks bottled up in a glass cabinet. Been searching for tempered glass cabinet builders from local furniture shops. Even went into figurine shop asking them their contractor who build their shelfing. Found one in Kepong with quote of RM1.7k. The buildin 4X4 that you see in figurine shops, that cost about 4k. With the limited space i have, I am considering not to go for a build in but a tempered glass cabinet for both books and figurines.

I saw a nice tempered glass small cabinet which is the double of a detolf size in 1Utama, a shop that sells transformer, 2nd floor. That itsels also looks presentable and affortable. That seems like a quick solution. Dont know where to get it yet.

I see black bible  Although am keen to get one of those, but it will be very hard to explain to family or GF later. So im selecting the collections that is presentable on shelf that i dont need to hide here or there in future Nice stuff btw bro.
I have meet some collectors/sellers who are easily twice my age. Nothing wrong, but the common sight i see are they are retiring or having to sell off their statue because of family/wife/gf. I think on an average a collector in this hobby spends 10k - 20k in the LR. So before going too far, just want to do a reality check with experience collectors here. But I already have the answer, collect moderately and only figuries that we like.. 
Yeah i like the detailness of the PVC statue. especially the head and back part. Very detail crafted and it is artistic. Can make our GF/wifey jellous at any time. 

Sculpture cost about 1.2k to 1.4k each. But i find the facial craftmanship a big off and its too big to store and display. Considering most of our places are mostly inside a room rather than a whole house, sculture are just too bulky. But i saw a GIJOE baroness sculpture, she is hot  And the latest coming poison ivy, will make your wife wanna break her legs. 

EXkurogane, can post a picture of your build-in shelfing for your PVC statues please? Just want to get some idea on display shelf for statues. Idealy wooden cabinet seems more solid as i can store my books at the bottom tiers and leave the eye level tier for statues and collections. Sharing poison is also caring..

I hear you on the above. However 90% of Msian girls believe this hobby is a taboo. Like some inhouse otaku kinda plaything. Well im glad i have my own carrier and spend on PVC at my own expenses. PPl wanna say this hobby anti social anti terrorist or whatever idc. As long i pay for my own bills. 

Ducky Shine? EXkurogane

Yeah should build a glass to block dust and safekeep the statue bro. Wait ur Luna Maria fall down patah kepala then no good.. 

I see Saber Distant Avalon and Rin. I want Rin! Sell meh 

On a serious note, I am thinking something like those in XL shop kind of cabinet.  But my place is too small, and i cannot same one type of cabinet shelf for two of my collections type. One PVC one heavy hitter sized mecha. Been visiting local shops now to get some idea on the cabinet for PVC statue. No clue yet atm.

I mean ur mech keyboard?

Wow your Luna Maria stand so high . She's my most Favorited character in Gundam series . But sayangnya that time I still haven't start collecting yet I think I missed out her figure and I substitute her with Kanon Seena from shining series which looks identical to her.

Sometimes it is about asking the right question


Queen's Blade Rebellion Siggy

SHe is the only character from Queen's Blade that caught my attention. Also, she is the first statue that taught me what is called "cast off"..  I was naive. "was".

that's why I got an otaku cosplaying gf

but trust me, all girls get jealous easily, and when they jealous, it's scary
