NUMBER 3 - THAT ONE. He just walk in to GSC bopth on day 1 after sales begin and buy everything up leaving nothing for visitors so that he can milk the price up later. Im so glad that @$$hole didnt turn up in CJC in Penang back in August, or else i wouldnt have had the chance to grab the Makise Kurisu PVC.

I see what you did there
I want sexual police - maybe, but sure she damn expensive now. And im damn broke. Next week might have female maintenance cost to spend on summor.

Didnt order that one. Low on budget. But only a selected few Native figures attract me, Gamer girl ok ok lah, i can live without her in my collection.

My god, this thing is badass. Fark Kotobukiya. >.< I also kena poison liao.

I only bought from them twice (before i found out about their attitude), then i stop already. But i really had no choice for that 2 figure anyway - Cant find them anywhere else.

Im ok with their service (at least when buying online), ask anything in 1 day sure reply. But, after i found out about their attitude and seeing what they did at AFA last year... Okay, that's it. =.=; I make some of my orders from a friend now (in his FB page), he started figure business not long ago, i'll support him. So far he helped me get some figures before already.

I never considered them as a Gunpla seller; i buy gunpla from gwing-online.com. Very fast communication and excellent customer service. More over they are based in Penang so it's easy for me. Some out of stock item also can nego and ask for backorder with a deposit.

Not for experienced collectors or non-touhoufags, You'll end up disappointed.

My own review~
http://ks-exkurogane.blogspot.com/2013/10/...asama-tomo.html

AF Hobby's figures are relatively cheaper than others (except dollfies) despite their malpractices and attitude. As for their Gunpla i dont know much because i didnt bother to check their pricing. Everyone have different experiences with them; me and my friends - not so good.

Thanks.
Yeah, i thought of the same thing, Long-Range-Firing Boob Support & Stabilizing System. But Koto's Asama is nowhere near Max's level in details. Their Honda Futayo is way better, and i think im sold on their Dark Angel Olivia. Gonna order one.

So quiet. I spam some pics~
Took this yesterday >.< Oh, it's taken indoors, at night.

More spam

Camera is one thing (if you have a decent phone camera, u can still get great shots except in moderate to extremely low light conditions), but lighting is the most crucial factor. My photos aren't completely original, i did some slight editing, but it;s still close to the original photo (i dont like editing heavily, just some slight adjustments). Look at what i did to metatron below when it comes to lighting. Lights (well, they are switched off in this photo though) from the left, right, and even behind.

Yamato's n/s Noyamano Ringo Hentai Kamen ver. - Air Gear.

If the final product is not much different from this prototype, it might have been the best figure Koto has ever made thus far. I havent seen them doing so well in details before.

Alter's details to me also doesnt match Max factory and GSC's higher tier figures - it's their quality control which is best in class. You wont find any paint chips, scratches, obvious seam lines, etc. The problem with Alter, they are quite inactive this year, not many figures, and their scope of characters is very narrow, keep making figures from the same few series and kissing Nanoha's butt... Best exmaple would be Alter VS GSC's Sabers. GSC's version had more detail, and alter's tendency to stick to anime look meant detail loss. GSC and Max have the tendency to base their figures off artworks if available, which in turn retains more detail.

Koto is inconsistent - must have been dependent on the sculptor. Their Tony artwork Shining series girls, sculpt was really good but let down by occasional QC control in paintjob. Their 1/7 Kousaka Kirino swimwear, and 1/8 Takamura Yui Enishi equipment was also good. But some other figures looked average at best. The sculptor who did Olivia, i should really pay attention to his figures. I hope Koto gets it right with QC for Olivia, im pretty much sold, i dunno anything about her but i think im ordering one.

All i have to say for some of these other companies:

Alpha Max > suck on their Skytube figures. It's worth it.
FREEing & Gift - only their giant 1/4 figures (im waiting for Sena/Niku).
PLUM is inconsistent, some of their figures had QC issues while some was pretty good. But they are also quite a new company.

i think i will order from eien no kiseki, no need worry sold out or not, stock sure can get.
I will decide in a week or two, but it's almost certain i will order one, but now i have to adjust my budget first. RM 1.5k for earphones, damn rich sia, audiophile grade earphones already... My best headphones i have also RM 700+ only, by Sennheiser.
For me RM 3500+ fly within the last 4 weeks. >.<

Im a blogger, and i need good photos to pull in traffic, so i needed one. The DSLR is only RM 2650, but then more cash spent on extra parts like battery grip, and flashgun. And next year i need to get more lenses. The rest of that RM 3500 spent also includes Cat lap Milk.
