The figure world has been goddamn boring lately as well; new figures that were released within the last 3 or 4 months, almost none interest me. I only have 2 preorders so far - one in Sept-Oct period and the other in Jan 2015, and im waiting for Phat's Kyouko to release, probably Sept - didnt order that one.

I guess i can count myself lucky, not struggling to deal with Kancolle's merchandise spam unlike the fans of that game.

Ya, it has been quite boring recently.
I got CIEL next january.

and will wait for another figure which hit my cup of tea in future, then my target of PVC figure will achieve and collection on PVC figure will end.
Now that I got yellow/peach, red/pink, blue/purple color in 3 different figure, the next one should be Green, or white, or any color different from what I have.

Jz want 4 figure with different color~ wait my "angel" to arrive.

I dont plan on stopping the hobby, even as a working adult. Trends come and go and we have to accept it. Haruhi's era long gone, K-On and BRS has also "passed on", the same will happen to Madoka, Shingeki no Kyojin, SAO, etc. Even Touhou has quiet down a bit already, nothing much new in the figure market. If you are resistant to change, and willing to pick up new things and fall in love with new anime/games and the characters, the figures you want will be endless. I suspended Gunpla for years already - actually im willing to get back on a few Master Grades but i don't have the resolve to build them properly, not to mention they are a pain in the ass to deal with regarding how fragile they can be - even wiping or cleaning with cloth is difficult and unlike figures i cant rinse gunpla with water.
*
I only buy figure based on the aesthetic and the beauty of the outlook, character design and the figure workmenship. So I think in future if the figure suit my taste, i still probably will take it.

Haha, agree on this, i dont know anything about Ciel Alencon and Godeater but wanted her badly, and not a fan of Sonico as a characte, but there are those occasions that the moment you see the figure you'll say this to yourself "I MUST have this."
*
This voice is killing "I MUST HAVE THIS", LOL~ brows.gif

Ya, I see the details and design of CIEL, then say to me, direct order lah... blink.gif

My favorite was racing miku 2011 when it comes to design, but now the 2014 version - agree, probably my new favorite now. I see her legs i already nosebleed. I will wait after release though. Right now, in my watch list.

2011 version...you mean this one?

Yup, that one. That 2011 ver. is the only racing miku figure i have until today out of so many versions.
The pose and the outfit/theme itself (race queen) made it damn difficult to do photography though. She is one of only 2 or 3 figures that i have that until today i havent done a proper photography session for because of lack of solid ideas. Well, unless i buy a 1/8 scale RC lamboghini or something =.= I cant get an idea that doesnt involve the use of a car yet.

I found this new Miku has more artistic and aesthetic view in the pose and body shape/line.
RM330 for me is quite OK, but still not really so interested in this figure. seems like quite simple.

GSC Exclusive, going for the super low price of 18333 yen... rclxub.gif I might have actually considered getting the light arms ver. if they included the base of the heavy arms one, but unfortunately, thats not the case...DAMN YOU GSC... vmad.gif

Thanks  biggrin.gif
Im from Bukit Mertajam to be precise, with the parcel sent to my campus near Sg Petani. Yup, 1st time a parcel from Japan sent directly to my campus' student affairs office then i pick it up from there. The parcel passed through a 2nd customs check in B'worth somehow, dunno why.

Surprised lol. So u guys going for comic fiesta mini this weekend I guess? I'm studying in SP but always in BM on weekends. I guess there's nothing much to see in terms of figures there, might be expensive. But I wanna avoid buying too many cosplayer merchandise/photobooks if possible. >.<

Where is the comic fiesta Mini? Autocity?

I'm interested, bit luckily I didn't preorder. Late October is just awful timing. My Sonico cheerleader version might arrive in early or mid November. Earlier on October 14th I'll be buying Asuka off amiami and ems her. November 8th-9th in Penang time square = COSPAR 2014. There will be figure auctions, and you can grab many of them at half or 40% of the price. =_= Genuine figures at least average rm250-300, but often in auctions many give up bidding by rm120. For rm150 some figures can be yours brand new. Out all now depends whether what I want will be offered.
*
What kind of figure auction? is it limited to PVC figure only?

any link/website on the auction info? thanks thanks! rclxms.gif

so the current kastam tax is replaced by GST instead when GST is implemented?

i don't think this counts as figure, but any love for this? made by GSC. first of its kind, the product line is called Good Smile Arms

We'll keep poisoning as long your wallet keeps up  biggrin.gif Welcome aboard.
The same occasion for me, i loved MG Gundam kits, have about a dozen (9 of them from SEED though) but i stopped them because i dont have the commitment and patience (instead of time). You know, you direct build something, no clear coat at all, no custom mods or paint or decals, and then you feel like a loser when you compare yourself to friends who do all those work and make their gunpla look awesome.  sweat.gif

Now i hop onto figure bandwagon it's like no going back, and my hobby of photography matches with this hobby so well. I've been doing professional-grade photography on my figures for a year as my main hobby, and had my figure photos exhibited in other countries' galleries. I like doing this more than building gunpla.
Almost there, almost... Just that something is still not yet right but i cant figure out what it is.  hmm.gif  I think it's the way her right arm is placed on her waist, it looks so weird and unnatural, the sculptor's problem. Even the fingers as well - do you spread your fingers out wide apart like that when you put your hand on your waist like that?  sweat.gif I think ppl usually put it on the hip area instead of the upper waist, im struggling to do it myself lol - it's not comfortable.  BTW i love this series, so many series to watch this season but im keeping up well.
