Escaped, got from Nippon Yasan (underdeclared)... Shipping cost a bomb though compared to ordering from GSC, SAL parcel set me back 5600yen...How much did your friend kena...?

5600yen for postage, dafuq
i didnt know the details, from what i know toys only get 6% GST, (no import duty) and maybe have to pay for release form. To put it into perspective, if the figure was RM1000, you get taxed RM60. The release form costs about RM36. So the total should be under rm100.

This is what it looks like when you've been summoned to customs dept

In this case, the shipping rate was somewhat justified, the box was close to 6kg, with minimal padding mind you...
I've actually been summoned by kastam before, courtesy of a certain dark angel named Olivia... Can't remember how much I paid, but I do remember the whole process being a pain in the a$$...The drive to KLIA was one thing, going from one counter to another, opening up the box to show them whats inside, explaining what it is...If at all possible, I don't wanna go through that again...

can always use posmalaysia as your agent to avoid the hassle. only thing i don't understand is why gotto pay posmalaysia more to deliver when, if didn't kena tahan, they memang gotto deliver to your place without any additional payment?

this is why skytube is still tops in my books...

I was looking at this figure. Hard. And i kept on asking myself what dafuq is she doing. It looks like she's trying her best to hold the half-removed clothes in their position instead of taking off the clothes naturally.


By the way Good Smile Company's Livie Collete, which is 20cm tall, gets a 36cm sized box and a shipping cost bomb together with it.

Ladies and gentlemen, the latest disaster by good smile company... since yuzuriha inori.

she's in a state of undress when you unexpectedly stepped into the room and she twirled around to see who it is...

so that's why livie collete's shipping costs a bomb! but i'm so looking forward for her to accompany ciel and alisa!

Damn wanted to preorder Kirigiri's reissue then this one came out

disaster? the generic black stand? ok... she's not gonna look good beside ciel and alisa. damn! a rerelease with dio stand may be in the works?

The hair went from white to pink in color
Good Smile totally screwed up the colors, it's Yuzuriha Inori all over again where her skin color was also messed up

err... imho the hair wasn't white, but i do see what you mean

Her hair has some slight pink shades, but this is too much.
And regarding her base, a MFC member told me this one was made to go with PLUM's 1/7 Godeater figures (she actually has the same base as Plum's GE figures) which is now beginning to make some sense why this one doesnt look like a Good Smile figure. I find it puzzling that GSC made something for Plum's lineup of GE figures. Alisa is the one that goes with Ciel if you look at their base

yeah, makes sense since she's a 1/7 instead of 1/8 (ciel & alisa). such a bummer...

If I knew this was actually under Plum i wouldnt have ordered one in the first place. I think the dull paint job might have been intentional to give it a look similar to Plum's figures.

sega prize.


furyu...but abit small compared to sega.

u also ah? i was on the fence because of the size... but kinda got taken in by her dynamic pose, and she does actually look great in proto especially with the transparent base. but yeah... it does look like a plum figure kasi rebadge

and the box... perhaps the god arc not detachable???

Yes, I cancelled the order already. A few of my friends also decided to cancel. Amiami accepted my reason though, i said that i never expected a 20cm tall figure comes with 36cm tall box, and that caused high shipping costs. 3200yen SAL or 3600yen EMS. If the figure looked closed to the promo image i might have kept the order despite the ludicrous shipping cost

Damnit, I can't believe how much she's calling out to me...

Not only that x-eros, the Native's Gamer Girl is 90% identical to this figure. But yea that's the problem with Kizuki Aruchu's artwork, all the girls looks the same......
