Regarding the Japan version and Asia version, yes, Japan version means the stock came from Japan. So, that means China > Japan > Malaysia. Asia version = from Shanghai, or HongKong, or Singapore > Malaysia. Companies like Good Smile have a main distributor in the 3 countries/cities i mentioned. So, if you ordered your figures from HS, HLJ, AmiAmi, etc, they are all Japan version.

And, all Japan versions of scale figures by Good Smile, Max Factory (and Alter also if not mistaken) will have a shiny sticker behind or bottom of the box, which reads hentai japan (HJapan). The sticker will not be there for Kotobukiya, Alphamax, etc (most other brands) regardless of what "version".

But, if you bought your new figure from an event where Good Smile has a booth - like AFA, Culture Japan, etc whether the stock is Japan version or not, we cant be sure (to be honest, i dont think it is - transport/shipment is expensive).

NO sticker will be present on the box of figures sold in such events, but not necessarily because they are not Japan version; it's because the stickers are slapped on by traders and distributors (like AmiAmi) in Japan, not by Good Smile. But, let's give an example of AFA singapore - does the figure come from Japan or their own S'pore distributor center? The Singapore distribution center is the bigger possibility for me but we cant be sure our selves. If Good Smile themselves is selling Asia versions in their booths at such events, why worry about the quality difference with Japan versions?

Hence, does Asia version or Japan version really matter? Not a big deal. But, it is true that Japan version figures underwent quality inspection a 2nd time in Japan so some people feel better or more assured that the quality is better. The first time QC is done is in the factories in China. However, quality issue itself is still highly dependent on luck. But why sellers like AF Hobby made a big deal out of Japan and Asia version and price them differently? Supply and demand - people asked for it. Some people are too particular about Japan version, and there are also those who wants to save more and pay less so they dont mind Asia version. So, AF pretty much went through the trouble and take stocks from different suppliers and label them differently to satisfy people who are particular about versions. So, they can target customers with both kinds of preferences.

Ini baru sampai, but can't cast-off like their product pics. Ini Kaitendoh memang penipu scammer.     

I'm finally retired from figure collection...................... found a better investment hobby.

Wow  , seriously... 18,333yen is just RM600 on direct conversion (well, on current exchange rate - who knows what it'll be mid next year). Add on 2000 yen and i dont think it exceeds 700 bucks either. Must be the tax, but since this will be released beyond April 2015 for sure i think the tax will be knocked down from 10% (or above) down to 6%, unless there's some kind of exception.    And then there's the fact it;s an exclusive so she's going to cost at least 900-1000 right after release. That's seriously inflated. 

My grail also arrived today

22,000yen figure - from penguin parade. Looks nice and very photogenic, but from a company known for making crap =.=;

"Fire walk with me"



And ordered this today...the price is irresistible!
the ori version has gone sky high.....

Already got her months ago~

But she's in my FSN section so I can't put her there.
Ohhhhh Momohime, she would fit perfectly there (short skirt, nice legs haha).

But I already give up hope of finding one with a fair price. 

You know, there is a funny story for this. I used empty name card boxes but I was also searching high and low for better quality risers and can't find them anywhere. Even when I do (got some at Daiso) they are usually ridiculously priced for some pieces of plastic and I need a lot so it's not feasible.

So one day I was in a bakery shop buying some ingredients for my mom and I saw they are selling those plastic tupperwares for cookies/biscuits likes this:



Fuiyooh, they come in so many shape and sizes! And so cheap, only a RM1 or 2 for one! I quickly grabbed some and the rest is history. Funny how I found the solution to a common problem for most collectors in the most unlikely of places.

Actually i got a cheaper and nicer way to lift up our pvc figure and it come with wat ever side u request. Normally u guy will display ur figure in ikea detolf or billy bookcase cabinet right? The cabinet is deep enuf but the if all the figure put at same level, those stay behind will block by the figure in front. The only solution is lift up the last row of figure as high as possible, then lift a little bit higher for the second row as long as each row of figure didn't block each other so that we can view all the figure from front. Ans i found this is very effective using tis way. 
This is PVC core, it can cut according to the size you want. If ur figure didn't come with base, u just need to put a hard cardboard on top to sustain ur figure.  Thus, each of it just RM0.50.

How about tis sexy girl with sword?
