Street fighter fan but no decent Juri figures out there.
Juri X Cammy (or Asuka) (I know, it is ridiculous to peg 2 enemies as a pair, but it works for me) is also my best pair on the crossover game SF X Tekken. I play that game regularly as a practice, with keyboards though, on highest difficulty.

I dont collect figmas much, but this one looks awesome.

Wah, re-release? Screw Alter. They re-releasing it when i have other figure orders to pay for, and im saving up for a DSLR.

So many Mikus... I skip lol.

30K yen is still cheap; Lacia's actual market value is RM 1200 now.

Then you wont have many chances to own limited/exclusive figures. I dont own many of them simply because most of them im not interested in.
My Saber Lily Distant Avalon, i paid almost 600 bucks for her despite knowing she will be re-released soon (for around RM 450) long ago, because 1st batch release is always better than a re-released batch. And i never regretted it because mine is pretty much perfect, while re-released batches do have Quality Control issues with her dress.

Many Native figures, provided u like X rated figures, are in RM 500+ territory or higher after release. Even Orchid Seed/Amakuni's Seven Deadly Sins figures (2 or 3 out of the seven are exclusive i think) are skyrocketing in price. I want Amakuni's Leviathan (also exclusive) but somehow no more budget for her, and she is going for 14,000-16,000yen in YJA; including shipping i fear will kena tax already.

I have faith in GSC; they often get the sculpt right, it's all about the paintjob oin the end. When GSC screws up, it is often the paintjob.

But, i dont like the 7th Dragon's artwork style in general, too anorexic. So, i'll pass on this. Reminds of me XXXHolic a bit, although XXXHolic is much worse.

Of course u go for Alter or Max first. I'd also be the same.

Koto did get better, but their problems are still there, just less prevalent. And that only applies to those Shining series figures to me. Their other mainstream character 8000yen figures are still average to me.

^ Crap, Cammy, i might want one.
And i want Juri also. =/

I just hope her thighs are not bigger than mine, like ChunLi. The proportions i see in the game for Cammy is perfect already.

I have never been a fan of Marvel or DC, but Street Fighter also, i'll pick up 2 or 3 characters that i like only. Their Tekken figures havent impressed me much (and many of them went into bargain bin) and didnt buy any, although i use Asuka, Lily and Alisa Bosconovich a lot in the game.

SF characters like Elena, no idea how are they going to call her a bishoujo besides that pretty face, her legs are scary.

I have been quite resistant to wonfes most of the time. Even the previous one i kena poison only by a selected few figure - and out of those selected few, i lost interest in another 2 of them after some time.

Those people are Scalpers, not toy collectors like us. They waste food, buy 10 happy meals, dump them in a trolley, keep the minion toy which has no value, put it in ebay and expect someone to pay a few hundred for it. When it comes to money, most Malaysians become uncivilized @$$holes. In George Town they even tore down the shutter of a McD outlet.

In fact most of them are rated age 15 or 18 above. But calling it Adult's toys also sound wrong lol.
I also dont see them as toys but collector items, but i couldnt think of another name to our hobby other than 'toy collector' lol.

Nowadays i do keep the box, but when i started figure collecting 3 years ago i never kept the box. And, many of my newer and more expensive figures i keep in box, less trouble with dust. Cleaning and wiping boxes is easier than cleaning each figure one by one.

Only when im at home for long periods (like, for a month during holidays) then only i will take out the figures and display them.

Problem 1: Sword is a bit too short
Problem 2: Look at upper right picture, her right leg, specifically the ankle there looks cacat from that angle =.= You can try it yourself, your right leg, your ankle can bend to the right meh? Only to the left, to the right cannot.

Sorry if i complain too much eh And that ahoge freaks me out, i broke 2 of my figure's ahoge already, but my own Saber Lily's ahoge is intact.
But Alpha Max i think u can wait until after release, less risk. Many of their figures enter bargain bin.

Prisma Ilya? LOL
I liked it, but they are definitely fooling around more. I saw Saber Alter in the OP, so i will keep watching it, apparently it is the strongest class card.

I like Tohsaka Rin more than Saber.

Tohsaka Rin is probably one of those very few character where when she is small i also like, and when she is more grown up i also like.

Alpha Max is not all that bad - still better than Griffon but not as much as Kotobukiya. Probably my expectations are a lot higher than many people. I had their Touwa Erio for only a few weeks but sold her. Only their Skytube series figures, especially Fault, are of more exceptional quality than those main stream figures priced at 6800-7800yen.

And, no Asuna figures are nice enough to me so far, Koto's version is the best one available so far though.
