Any Sonico fan here...
Not really a fan but here is my pre-order. Cheapest I found was on AA.
10,980 yen shipping should be about about 1,000 yen. I'm a sucker for figures with detailed musical instruments.

try the k-on! series... i've got alter's akiyama mio (bass) and kotobuki tsumugi (keyboard). you may wanna also check out hirasawa yui (lead) and tainaka ritsu (drums).

I have all 5 already blush.gif
They are the reason I got into anime figures in the first place.


Also, I became more interested in Shibuya Rin after seeing Exkurogane's diorama/photos. thumbup.gif
Good job, the figure companies should commission you to carry on your good work in raising awareness/spark interest in anime figures.

===========
Edit: Figured I should list out the figures I'm aware of (With musical instruments) non-figma/nendo

1. Max Factory: Suzumiya Haruhi/Nagato/Asahina Gekisou (Looking for a fair priced Nagato)
2. Alter: K-on Yui and gang
3. Super Sonico (Various)
4. Chua Churam
5. Beck

Any more?

These would make great subjects for a photoshoot.

Might pre-order and hunt for the two at AKB.

I think he means the lack of boobs.

Frau arrived =3 EMS = get detained by customs =.= TWICE. Once in KLIA, once in Butterworth, but it's just a 8800yen figure (EMS 2160yen).

Aniplex Tomoe Mami. You wont find it in most preorder sites, it's Aniplex web exclusive.

I think the customs are working harder because some of their top officials have been detained under bribery concerns. Bad news for us sad.gif
Are you from Butterworth? Love your dioramas!

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.

Time square, both saturday and sunday from 10am. Entry ticket per day is RM10.
There's guest cosplayers on Sunday, Aza Miyuko, Misa, Angie, etc. I might go on both days, need to buy photobooks on saturday first in case it sells out. Photobooks or posters = autograph session = can take photos together. Though, o already got a very nice photo with Miyuko together 2 months back during Cosplay League in Straits Quay.

Will there be figures displayed?
To be honest, I felt out of place when I went to a mini event at Island plaza earlier this year.

TAGcon, i went too. But i went there mainly for meeting up with friends, and later that day i went to straits quay with a friend for figure photography outdoors. TAGcon have too much transformers sh!t and not enough PVC figures. And only a few transformers models look good, many looked like cheap glossy plastic toys. Im always out of place in most events if i dont end up meeting friends lol.

Events like these ah.

Feel out of place because I'm like one of the few older dudes there.

No offense to the younger guys/girls wink.gif

====

Also, the cosplayers:- Most are nice and pleasant people in general but it makes me cringe a little when people cosplay and don't look the part.
But hey, its their body and it makes them feel happy tongue.gif

Decided not to use local cosplay fails for fears of upsetting someone unsure.gif

Bonus pic of Love is War DX - One of the most expensive figures.

hey, i remember that face! I think i saw that face in TAGcon lol. im just there for the lolies, cuci mata. Haiz, still single but can only see, i dont many of the girls to even communicate normally. And i think im already entering "old age" like you, im already 24.

I have the same sentiment as you do regarding cosplays - maybe because for myself i dont like to do something half-heartedly when it's about the things i love (which is probably why i work hard on my figure photography). So, girls, take note - if i end up liking u, u r actually lucky. tongue.gif

IMO if a cosplayer is being criticized or earned some hate regarding their cosplays, he or she earned it on their own. I dont think it's something anyone can pick up without the motivation to do well, and it's not something that everyone should do even if they can.

[RANT] Alter is not announcing anything about their new Asuka and it's pissing me off; if she's delayed im buying Momo Deviluke first. [/RANT]

evithing is ok, but no like face.

The figure as a whole has to capture a certain feeling and not just look beautiful. Gotta agree with u on the face.

After spending so much on figures these few weeks, I'm starting to get picky.

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.

Now this one sounds interesting
