Where to buy prototype?? Usually what the manufacturer will do to the prototype??? Sell it with mass produced? keep themselves or by the sculptor???  hmm.gif

GSC's Dat ASS version. But then, Amakuni's figure of her has her trademark pose

There's too much difference between prototype & final product, especially at the face... (Just my noob opinion)
Luckily I doesn't own any Griffon figures (so far).

Unfortunately there's a Rozen Maiden-lineup (which I really looking for) figures which will be make by them (old news anyway), only can hope that they won't screw them too much, or perhaps looking for another company to produce them (quite unlikely)...  cry.gif

When it comes to Griffon, better avoid......  sweat.gif

If they remove one zero behind the price tag... maybe... because occasionally they look worse than prize figures.
Well, as the disclaimer of any products say

"For Illustration Purposes Only"
"Actual product may differ from the advertised image."

Very applicable to Griffon. I respect them for having the balls to put up such products in the market.

I see what you did on MFC.  brows.gif  brows.gif
Anyway, had a fun time reading the comments  tongue.gif

LOLOLOL
first time I'm seeing that kind of numbers in ratings in my photo within a day there, and my 2nd POTD (the first was also a sarcasm meme like this involving GSC and Miku). Anti-Griffon awareness campaign success.

At MFC, 300% of effort to shoot the best shot doesn't necessarily win you an award (my best was 2nd place, a few times). Sarcasm wins in the internet, and yes, the comments are fun to read.

1. ada link? mau tengok tengok.
2. fatso is really... fat?  sweat.gif is it really meant to be like that?
3. got other characters? Wanna see nibutani, kumin and rikka

1. You mean the griffon meme? Or my photos?
- Griffon meme: http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/889411
- My photos, you can just check my blog http://ks-exkurogane.blogspot.com/ , or my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/exkurogane/

2. I think Super Pochaco is indeed rather plump - her boobs confirm a lot bigger than Sonico, but i didnt know she is that fat until i saw that figure.

3. KyoAni did make Rikka (http://myfigurecollection.net/item/158179); Nibutani, not yet.

I think it doesn't really matter about photo quality, you get perfect quality photos all the time every day. The photo itself needs to appeal to people, which is exactly what a meme does.  brows.gif Looking at a nicely shot photo, I'll think to myself: Wow, nice - and go on with my work. But looking at your Griffon meme seriously attracts me to enter and join the Griffon bashing  biggrin.gif I didn't write anything though, was busy laughing the at the comments.

Somehow I think your photo aint gonna last for just 1 day. Perhaps 3~4 days?  tongue.gif Damn jelly the attention you got. I wonder what impact your photo will have on Griffon's sales.  icon_idea.gif
*
I do agree appeal do play a big role. On the picture itself, it's my 2nd POTD, my first was also a meme, but first time I'm seeing a record rating on any of my picture. In fact it's already on top for next week's POTW award, a surprise to me. On Griffon, maybe they will hire me as an advisor after seeing that. Lol

QUOTE(DarkonGaron @ Dec 31 2013, 09:56 PM)
seriously, i didn't notice the fat cables / tongue until i read the comments. only notice the face like got problem the first time i see the comparison. this noob has a lot more to learn  blush.gif

I did notice the face, eye, hair fringes, cable, sh!t/diarrhea-colored wheel, and dull colors, not to mention a general loss of details.

QUOTE(killerjeya @ Dec 31 2013, 11:34 PM)
If they actually gave a damn about what others think, they wouldn't be churning out crap figures in the first place...But it would be cool if Griffon actually had a wanted poster of exkurogane with a picture of Kuroko with pantsu on her head stuck all over their HQ... biggrin.gif

WANTED: I will be a big candidate for their next CEO. biggrin.gif

First time trying out forced perspective technique - making the background match the size of your figure by 'forcing it' using a grey polystyrene board as the road, put it up high on a fence and adjust your angle to match the background- replacing the real road. A flat grey board would have been the best but then i dont have it at the moment.

Unlikely, even though i loved the anime. Bundle with PSP game (or was it PSV), what's the point, i dont own the console. 9980yen is indeed cheap for a bundle (some figma + game bundles go for 10500-14000+ yen), but the figure probably is only worth 4000yen. A normal genuine PSV game is over 5000yen. A 4000 yen figure sounds like beach queens quality (which is good in general but lacking detail).

actually i sacrifice alot of other things for this hobby - my dream car, bigger house, lesser savings, be4 this i can randomly buy games, upgrade pc, build gunpla or any other model, buy ps4/xbone... etc... lol
now i cant, most of my extra money go to the figure hobby XD
im not that rich so i can only choose 1 thing at a time but this year i will cut down on this hobby alot. well i think my house is enough of these figures & i need focus on other commitment as well smile.gif
edit: building model r more fun than buying edy made model just to display & watch XD

For me, headache also, camera and lighting gears (i need extra lens, lamps, etc), and not to mention paying for figures rclxub.gif

Im a (future) dentist, and im going to do another post graduate course to push my basic income into 5 figures. But then, given my hobby, 5 figures is the bare minimum... 2nd income, will have to find a way. Given im trying to improve photographing, a part time photographer or journalism doesnt sound that bad either.

That's good to hear. So, it's more of a consistency issue with some units.

LOL , Everyone posting age in here ..make me feel so old..and talking about GF and I am still single ..make me feel so sad ~

Im (almost) 24 and still single, i already damn sad. I had 2 ex in the past though, but single for the past 2 years+.
I envy those that bang their girl already at age 18 or 19.

As for bday, most likely i will only get a bit of cash only, then buy my own figure (or settle debts) again.
