I  finally ordered this from AmiAmi preowned section after selling my Sonico Nurse lol.

6080yen (B/B) + 2630yen EMS. This figure EMS is cheaper than SAL somehow

Be careful when handling this one. If possible when moving her hold the whole figure with both of your hand and not leaving any parts hanging. This is because the joints (both arms and legs, and the head as well iinm) were actually hold in place mainly with magnets, which don't hold well with the weight of the figure parts (since the material is polystone which is heavier, and much more fragile than pvc)

hmm... item sent to opis after customs inspection. looks like i'm gonna get taxed sad.gif

Hmm wasn't the sign that you are getting taxed is the item stuck in "In Customs" status for a long time? Last time "Send to office" status means it was sent to delivery office.

Anyway since I'm in Japan now, anyone want to kirim something?

My latest figure shot. Something different once in a while; landscape isn't my forte and this is actually my first shot done during a sunrise, at the jetty off to Jerejak Island off the east coast of Penang Island, Malaysia.

Involved a lot of trial error (while having very little time to make adjustments) and that patience needed for the water on the ground to reflect the sunlight.

depends where you stay. imho poslaju charges way too much for handling (rm60???). it's a very simple process, really... and there's plenty of parking at the customs office at klia (that's deceptive, though... the office is closer to the lcct rather than klia). it's even opened on saturdays (except first saturday) till 4pm. only make sure you have sufficient cash to pay for the tax etc. and there's an additional rm18 edi charge (???). personally, i do not use poslaju services as i think it's a means of making customers pay more than they actually should since delivery is supposed to be to your doorstep anyway, and hence, if anything, poslaju should only be charging for the custom clearance handling and not the additional delivery charges. but that's just me...

RM 18 is the document charge iinm

Came across this great toy while browsing for kungfu girl. It's product name is called Phicen, made in USA. Anyone knows how much it costs and which shop selling?
*
Hmm usually if just the body (plus head on some version) it's around RM 200. Sets might cost RM 300++. Can be found at XL-Shop and few other hobby shops (usually those that sells 1/6 action figures). Heads from various 1/6 action figure products usually can fit on the body.

This is one of the stuff you must not buy from JP-based retailers, as the price is more expensive than local shops.

Thanks Exiled_Gundam and @BeastX for your explanation.

Wow, didn't know china could come up with such great toy, read the web, it's made of silicone skin except for certain parts. Is it barbie for adults, She actually has the top and bottom thingy?
*
Japan actually has similar product for quite some time (google Tokyo Doll) but they are too expensive. Volks used to have similar product but already discontinued for a long time IINM (not to mention it uses thin steel wire for joints which prone to break easily).

I actually owned several Phicen doll bodies actually haha

Wooo....wahhh.... thx for great intro. I found live size 4woods doll while browsing tokyo doll. I think that's the most realistic doll ever that can piap one,  can buy her clothes at sg wang clothing store straight. Wonder is it legal to bring in 4woods here.
*
Depending on how u declare it i guess, but definitely expensive to bring here (i think can buy motorcycle already with the money)

I`ve bought 1 phicen but 2013 older version small papayas mat salleh pale at discounted price after bargaining. Rm180 + clothing rm105 total reduced to rm270. Stated model plsfb02-05, any idea which model is this? Any idea how to mod her assets to be more realistic? Any special colour pen like gundam marker pink or brown colour can be used for papaya dots? Use penknife for the bottom front?

The newer series comes with steel skeleton, check their websites didn't mention series A, B or C belong to new series. Heard they are coming up with hsu chi head mold too. tongue.gif
*
Haha not sure which model is that. If colour marker pen you're looking at, I used the pink Real Touch Gundam Marker (I saw some people who mod static figurines using this marker). Never mod the bottom front before.

As for the head (and palm and leg part), they are compatible with parts from several other manufacturer; I think you can use head from Hottoys as well.

Actually your enquiries are better directed to this thread instead: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3138799 as Japanese Vinyl and Figures thread is for discussing static figurines mainly from Japan. Phicen although seamless like pvc figurines, they actually fall under action figures category, specifically 1/6 scale

Mandarake too? I am eyeing on an old figure priced around RM500-600. If can under declare value then will be awesome. OR.. go and pickup from the store directly sweat.gif
*
Hmm for Mandarake, it's not like I request them to underdeclare, but at one time when I received 1/4 Fate Testarossa from them, which was priced at 9000yen, they put 1000yen at the declaration section, as well as declared it as 2nd hand toys

mebbe it was a second hand that's worth ¥1000  rolleyes.gif

just kidding. whether under declare over declare... come with big box sure kena stop. ami ami has this habit of shipping things in huge boxes...
*
Big box usually depends on how much you declare as well. At one point I bought about 12 MG gunpla (resulting in enormous box) and my friend declared 10k yen from them. Kena tahan coz kastam bcome suspicious due to very big gap between box size and declared value. In the end lepas coz I managed to convince them they were personal stuff my friend kirim back to Malaysia b4 he return to Japan after finishing study there whistling.gif

As for big boxes from Amiami... they put shitload of padding for international shipment only. I once set the shipping address to Japan, and when i received the parcel (I was in Japan back then), Amiami didn't put any padding at all.
