Yea...... If only they're in 1/4 scale then I'll buy.

who cares???

point is you get to rest your wrist on them

Actually they are quite comfy.
Not too durable though, the one i have in the opis is showing some rather unfortunate wear and tear. The ones i use at home are very new in comparison.


On another note this.

I'd share why me tak beli non MISB anymore... 3 years ago during a trip to Jpn, I was browsing the second hand figure section in one of the akiba shops (the large sofmap iirc)... there was this typical otaku chap (portly, fanny bag, tucked in shirt... the works) standing down the other end of the aisle also browsing. He had a figure in his hand and was grunting in a pretty disgusting/excited way.

That both killed my interest in BIB stuff and also any desire for me to call myself an otaku

Do you mean you use wrist-supported mousepad at work, or actual oppai mousepad? If it's the latter, how otaku-like, considering you apparently don't label yourself as one.

Short of having second-hand figure sellers screen their figures through black light before reselling, or adding a clause for reducing value/outright rejection of sold figures for having traces of bodily fluids, I don't see any other way to truly filter these "tarnished" figures. I for one would still consider purchasing BIB/second hand, simply because I don't like paying the equivalent of university tuition fees to purchase brand-new discontinued stuff.

LOL, "coming" on figures aren't new, and that's what some Japanese people do. In Malaysia i doubt someone who spent 300, 400 bucks on a figure would want to ruin it like that. That is something "pure breed" otakus in Japan do - by that i mean, the antisocial/reclusive type who stays shut in at home in front of their PCs fapping only on 2Ds and have no interest in real humans. I for one am not really bothered by this news because it is not new; places like amiami preowned are relatively safe given how strict their quality checks are. One small paint scratch or transfer and it's graded C.

Black light or UV light?

I was talking about the oppai mousepad i am using in the opis.

They get stained way too easily though. My hands do sweat often, and in the long term it becomes darker.
Im keeping my favorite ones, like a collector item or something, not using it. For daily usage i use bootleg ones

This looks not bad, from Alter.

That one is from Oboro Muramasa, they made Kongiku before this and the value shot up after release. This one will also be the same i suppose.

Figure looks great, waiting to see final colored version.

this looks like someone from the mental clinic anime

He's Ladybeard btw, a real person

i like the design for this more that the aniplex+ and GSC wan...

Haha! I knew they are going to have this pose. Don't like the hair sculpting though.

Just received this yesterday~
