Thanks bro. I really like it. Just adjust the composition a little bit due to my monitor resolution  smile.gif

Yea, that one no choice, have to crop, because my photos are from a DSLR which is 3:2 ratio, and i prefer to maintain that ratio instead of 16:9 or 4:8 because that's the same ratio as A4 and A3 papers, hence optimal for printing. I also have my photos featured in figure magazines, and this ratio will make it easier for a full page print.

Seems ur picture is quite big enough, readjust it with correct ration for monitor won't be a problem. Just choosing the best perspective for cropping a little hard to decide, looking for best angle as possible.
Anyway congrats for both of your picture in MFC - I can tell one of them will be POTM later.

Thanks
Yeah, my style of photography and the kind of photo i make, they are more ideal to be made into printed large posters (A3 or bigger), or in a photo book. Not as ideal for wallpapers because they can be a bit too detailed making it look messy (especially when you have icons and shortcuts on top of your wallpaper). Portrait-like photos with simple or abstract backgrounds are more suited as wallpapers on screens.

ya the center of joint which become soft but some part of the joint still hard so u can see the figure not yet complete bend over.
*
That's actually new to me, maybe because i dont collect action figures
If you can bend it back in shape by hand - assuming it is soft, after bending it back, hold it in place with lotsa tape, then put the figure in freezer for half an hour, hopefully the PVC part hardens
if the bent part is hard then i dont recommend trying to bend it, you might break it

is not action figure is a statue but top can move left to right, so u mean for the soft part i need to use tape and stick it then put the figure in the freezer?

Thanks

Yes, if you can bend it back into shape, you can try that, i cant guarantee anything - the problem might recur again over time

I don't know if i still want this order. Was kind of disappointed that she's getting a simple black disc as a base when Ciel and Alisa gets nice bases, unless this delay was done because of making a proper base for her - which I think is unlikely. I was thinking of transferring my order in Amiami to anyone who wants it.

Most of my figures are also in box. Easier to clean, and a stash of boxes all the way to the ceiling with little girls locked inside like a jail is nice to look at. tongue.gif

I don't really like to see all my figure inside the box. Rather looking her being set "free" for the jail; rather it's exclusive or not. Not planning to sell them back anyway. Somehow I just keep the figure box although its empty; dunno why LOL biggrin.gif

I know the risk become dust magnet and exposure to the heat, but so far none of my figure having damage and become spider nest. Some of them I put next to my desk; refreshing my eyes.
Yeah I do often cleaning my room once a week & my room got air con as well. My home is my office anyway.   whistling.gif

I only have 2 or 3 on my desk, another few in my closed cabinet, but 80% of my stuff remains in box, mainly because of my refusal to deal with dust

And one important thing, displaying the figure while keeping the box means requiring up to double the amount of space - you need space to display the figure, and to keep the box. If i dont display them and put them in box i save a lot of space while getting to keep their boxes.

huh? Why the freezer?
*
To restore the PVC structure of the figure, prevent leaning, and slow down/reduce the amount of plasticizer evaporating out of the figure. Recommended for figures that have been exposed to warm environments, each figure goes into the freezer for about 15 minutes (yes, the ice section of your fridge), After that you let it air dry or wipe dry yourself before putting back in box. Make sure it's dry before putting back in boxes - you dont want moisture to initial rusting if there are metal parts in the figure, especially metal foot pegs in the base.

Hmm... lazy take the figures out... can put the entire box into the freezer ka?  hmm.gif

Dont do that. Water vapor will condense on the box's surface and inside the box into water droplets, damaging the box and also exposing the figure to moisture.

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

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.
