RE-RELEASE...!!!

While at the GSC site, noticed this:



Anyone knows why...?

Actually, Amiami does sell this figure: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gc...8815&page=top...
-EDIT-
Exiled beat me to it...

Not particularly interested in getting her, mostly because of the display method...I think she would look way nicer displayed lying down, something like this:

Hand-me-down from Miku, ofc will be tight in certain areas...

Took quite a while, but she's finally here...!!! Marry me...




A little late, but this looks pretty good...


Preorder up on Nippon-Yasan for 14680yen...New manufacturer as far as I can tell, so proceed with caution...

Link for Fate/Stay Night - Tohsaka Rin - 1/6 - Swimsuit Ver. (Alter) is wrong...Didn't wanna post useless comments on your sales page, so thought I'd let you know here...Good luck...

Ordered a few times, no issues so far...Got a rather expensive (by my low standards ) preorder with them too, due August, so for me, quite trustworthy...The preorder in question is this monster here:



Doesn't scream sexy, but I just can't get enough of that armour...
Back is pretty hot though...

Almost 1k...Making my eyes water the more I think about it...Sayonara, my hard earned cash...

My opinion of Amiami: No.1, hands down...Nippon Yasan is good for getting exclusive releases (like the Saber), but for everything else, Amiami is my go-to shop...Can even get awesome bargains at their pre-owned section...Buy with confidence...

Anything above RM500 has a chance to be taxed...Depends on luck too I guess...One of the perks with Nippon yasan is they will undervalue the item if you request for it...Just ask to put a value of less than RM500, lessens significantly the chances of being stopped by Kastam...Of course, if the box is HUGE, and the value stated is ridiculously low, it might still trigger some flags...

Items tagged "Released" on Amiami means exactly that, the item is in stock, ready for immediate shipment...That particular item you linked, the Released one was originally priced higher, should be around retail price...Then the preowned ones showed up, obviously priced lower...But then, Amiami decided to offer a huge discount on the Released one (normally happens when a figure doesn't sell so well, so big discounts are given to clear stock)...Amiami just didn't bother to adjust the preowned ones to reflect the reductions on the new Released one...

I always refer to MFC for info on figures before I make any purchases...The figure database is comprehensive/info up to date...Best part, the community is very active, with reviews, pics by figure owners, alerts to sales etc...Check it out...I can't really comment about the figure above since I don't own it, but here's the MFC link: Kanu...Try looking at the user posted pics to get a rough idea of how the actual figure looks like...

+1...If it looks good, and the price is within range, I'm sold...



Dark General by Amakuni...Coincidentally, up on Mandarake...
So far, my experience with Mandarake has been good...Pretty good place to find preowned figures, but plenty of new ones too...Word of caution though, the item description can be very vague...One time, I got one with the description Opened/box damaged...There was a pretty large and visible stain on the figure when I received it...An eraser did the trick though, but you'd expect something like that to be included in the description...It was a one time thing, and I've bought a few more since then, no issues...Overall, trustworthy...

Goes by the name of x-maniacs here. Bought a couple of figures from him a few years back. Nice guy...

Go to the item's MFC page and just comment something like "Giving up my PO on Amiami/etc"...Those who missed out on PO and looking to take someone else's would normally be subscribed to any new comments for that particular item...

Hmm, she is quite cute... No Asuka to go along with her...?

Rei's pose is much better...Asuka is like they forgot about godzilla when sculpting, then just sumbat wherever got space (in this case, her ketiak)...

Too adorable...!!! Like a cute lil puppy trying to act tough...

As for Kotobukiya, I guess it really depends on your luck...I have a few by them, and so far, no issues...Quite a few of my favourite figures in my collection are by them, actually...

Well, if you do decide to buy it, good luck, I hope there are no issues...Just don't expect perfection...Its true that Kotobukiya have not reached the heights of top-tier manufacturers like Alter in terms of production quality consistency, but personally, I enjoy a lot of their creations...In the end, enjoyment is what I truly look for in a figure...

-EDIT-
I may have made Koto sound like they make bad quality figures...They don't...Simply put, quality wise (paint,sculpting, etc), they make good figures, great ones every now and then...
