Just upload here first...An early screening, if you may... Besides, I think all of us here have long accepted the fate of our doomed finances to give a damn about WalletDestroyedByDeathStar.GIFs anymore...

I did...Mainly from this:



I have literally been waiting YEARS for any update...Finally, a painted proto...
I'm a big fan of Saber Alter, so these two got me pretty excited too...



The following didn't kill me, but did still make my heart skip a beat (or two)...




Fingers crossed, this will finally be the Saber Bride I actually like...


Re-release...Looks pretty badass...

When I first saw the unpainted prototype, I was looking forward to this one (mostly due to the impressive 1/4 scale)...After a while, it started to look rather meh (same ol' pose again and again)...Now that its painted though, I'm starting to have a change of heart again...Sure, the pose is still boring, but I absolutely love the paint scheme...

Tsundere is definitely not the first word that comes to mind when I think about my boss...Yandere is more like it...

I'm not sure if this is the best proxy service, but from my experience, FromJapan is pretty reliable. The process itself is pretty simple, just input the item url into the FJ website, and you can place your order immediately. You pay for the item+shipping within Japan first, then pay for international shipping once it arrives at their warehouse (there are other charges, like system usage charge and bank transfer charge, but its normally a rather small sum). I think the best part about FJ is the shipping options, especially FedEx. It sometimes comes to just over half the price of EMS. They also frequently have 5% off campaigns, so that can cover the system usage fee. I've used FJ quite a few times, and so far, no issues.

You should still look at other options though, as I've never used other proxy services apart from FJ. Good luck.

They accept credit cards...

The newest addition to my Fate harem... I knew she was gonna be big, but my God, she's HUGE...!!! I've always been more of a 1/8,1/7 guy, but this is just on a whole different level... Here's a comparison with another (smaller) blonde beauty...

Up for PO...No nudity, but I still think NSFW spoiler is needed here...

NSFW

Congrats on another well-deserved POTD...I assume you also have Mea, so I guess a shoot with all the waifus when they're released is in the works...? I sure hope so...=)

It looks like Toypanic is registered...Here's the link to lookup GST status: https://gst.customs.gov.my/TAP ...If you guys see the original post by nifoc2099, on the top right of the screenshot there is a link to "Download Tax Invoice", which leads to an itemised invoice complete with GST registration number(which is 000784949248. Btw, I also kena )...And I'm sure there are plenty of other local shops which don't impose GST...Searched for AF Hobby, Figuremall, XL-Shop, none are registered...OFC, I might be wrong about the first two, as I only searched the name (could only find the business reg. number for XL)...I think it would be helpful if everyone here could share whether the local shops they use impose GST or not...

I believe St0rmFury was correct...A business is only required to register for GST if annual turnover exceeds RM500k...Sure, voluntary registration is an option, but not mandatory...

Wah, rich guy who doesn't give a sh!t about GST...I propose shephard86 be given special 100% GST rates to better suit his rich guy status...

IMO, the Home Ministry in general tends to do a few high-profile/somewhat attention-grabbing, but useless things per year just to justify their annual budget, but their Al-Quran Text and Publishing Control Division is a classic example of "takde kerja lain" ...The guy in charge even says this is not the first time such an operation was conducted, so obviously they only make such a huge fuss when they need the cheap publicity on how well they're doing their job...If this follows the tradition of all their other "major" operations, this entire issue will be forgotten in a few weeks tops...

Well, if he wasn't joking, I guess it implies that sex toys are not zero rated goods...?

HOLY *&%$... I don't give a damn about GST or Kastam or anything else that gets in my way... I MUST HAVE HER...!!!

Not a fan of Idolmaster, the tomboyish look of the character coupled with shorts is definitely not my type, and yet something is screaming at me to get this figure... Phat's Idolmaster girls have always been high on my wishlist, but this might be the first I actually PO...Its unexplainable, but I MUST HAVE HER...!!!



Personally, I prefer her eyes open...


Either way, she's absolutely lovely...Dat ahoge...

I expected her to be small, but this is just... Despite the size though, its pretty well made(some paint bubbles on the hair,but nothing major, can't really expect perfection from this line)...The price is cheap, storage is definitely not going to be an issue (even the box is tiny,about half a nendo box)...Looking forward to receiving Shimakaze...

I don't think I've ever waited for any figure longer than I have for Kiss-shot...It had reached a point where I would still get her, even if it was a Limited+Exclusive release at a GSC igloo in Siberia...Well, the wait for PO is over, now comes the wait for the actual release...

Oh my, this looks quite spectacular...
That said, THIS is the one I insta-PO'ed:



Goddamn, these Phat Idolmaster girls are gonna be the end of me...

The translucent props are for the two black thingies which aren't connected to the main figure. Here's a pic with a better view of the props:
