^Hmm, considering she retails for about RM300 and factoring in the shipping costs (at least XL will save you the heart attack of dealing with shipping), RM350-RM380 is pretty reasonable. I wonder how tall she is ... will she fit into a regular Detolf ^^;;

o_o ... that's huuuuge. Thank goodness she's sitting, otherwise she probably wouldn't fit into a standard shelf.


That's the thing that irks me about the Detolf - dust, moisture etc. can still get in easily (especially moisture!). My bf just removed a Ryofu figure which was leaning only to find a layer of moisture at the base But it's the best shelf for figures as far as I know, ah well.

3000 yen for both Saber and Ilya? That's a really good deal even if it's non-scale (I do wonder how tall they'll actually be though), plus it's Alter so quality-wise they ought to be decent. I just told myself not to buy anymore Saber figures, and now they do this! x_x

Awesome, hopefully mine arrives this Monday! They're about the same height if you take into consideration Karen's elevated base and her cap. In any case they look great together!

I got my Revoltech Dark Saber recently too, but I'm back in my family home which is like 300+km away from KL XD Looking forward to valho's pics.

Sneak preview of the last figure I shot, the Metamo Haruhi:

Still too lazy to sort out the entire batch of pics ^^;; (I really love the Yuki in that Figumate series, but it's not worth buying the entire set for unfortunately.)

Thanks, and yes, she's value for money - I like that the face is very true to her anime likeness =) The colour-changing gimmick is a plus too, although I've not bothered putting her in the fridge to test if mine works or not - so she's been white all the while in our hot Msian climate


This is true - I'm working with a 4MP camera that's a few years old, so I've got to work around its limitations by figuring out the right amount of zoom. Good lighting helps as well, but I've been sloppy in that department - just working with the table lamp I have atm, but plan to go get a proper lighting rig eventually. Most of my pics are enhanced with colour correction and what-not with Photoshop - takes quite a bit of work, but beats spending thousands on a new camera I don't quite need =)

Seriously no idea, even if she doesn't work it's not like I'd be bothered to return her XD Plus my flatmates will probably start questioning my sanity if they see me putting a figure into a fridge

That's a good idea actually! XD That will have to wait till I get back to my apartment at the end of the week though, but at least I get to find out if her suit actually changes~

OMG the painted Natsuki kit you posted is so gorgeous T_T A lot of the prepainted stuff at e2046 is really beautiful, the Bubba Yuki with guitar is top of my wishlist.

Looking forward to your pics \^^/


I support Yuki 200%! Nendoroid Yuki cutest by far! (Actually all of them are super cute, if I had unlimited $$$ would probably buy all 3 nendoroids but so many other figure priorities T__T)

Demon, you can view my friend's pics of both Revoltech Sabers here - they look great! =) She's still available at P-A for about RM72 with free shipping, but if you plan to get her and rather not go through the worry of stuff going missing/damaged in transit she's still available at XL-shop or Ultimate Toys (Amcorp outlet) at about RM80+ I think.
That's the eternal problem figure collectors face, having to pick and choose what to buy ;__; I was very tempted to get the Lamento Asato after seeing the pics Nyx posted on Figure.fm but decided to buy GSC's 1/6 Matou Sakura today which I've been wanting anyway. Yesterday I ordered the Max Fac Wendy from Hobby Search after seeing her on sale there (about RM95-105 including shipping), they have a rather odd system where you have to confirm the order with CC details and all, then they tell you they will estimate shipping ... guess will only find out the total when the transaction goes through :S

^You know you want to join us, kukukukuku >]

And moooore poison! DoA fans, Kotobukiya has announced preorders for their Ayane figure, here's a preview pic:
Looks like Koto has decided to use the cast off gimmick for this figure, and a good gimmick at that, she looks great with or without the clothes IMO.

Definitely getting her since she's my favourite DoA chick, and I already have Kasumi and Hitomi so they'll look great together.
I just estimated the shipping charge from their EMS postage table so shouldn't get any nasty surprises (I hope!). Glad you finally got the Hikaru, she's hard to find these days. And yeah, I figured the Lamento figures wouldn't be that popular so I decided to order the 1/6 Sakura instead, good thing I did because she went out of stock at P-A after I purchased her XD;;

The nendoroid saber is so cute XD Looks like they'll be selling bunny suit SOS-Dan in a set for 7000 yen, lucky for Haruhi fans who are able to attend WF. Wonder if all that will have a general release? Half of me hopes not, otherwise more $$$ again >_>

If your estimate is right, then my Wendy should come up to lower than what I estimated, yay! I guess Japanese retailers prefer to give an exact shipment charge so customers don't complain about overcharging (unlike a lot of sellers on ebay).

That seems to be true, after I bought Wendy she went out of stock for a day, today I checked and she's restocked again.

Haha we need to open Figureholics Anonymous, but will probably backfire, we'll end up encouraging each other to buy stuff instead

Ya the Yuki one looks suuuper cute! <3 Good to know Japanese retailers are very ethical, the thing that usually puts me off purchasing on ebay is most sellers tend to overcharge for shipping. Glad to know I'm paying for exact costs =)

Haha hopefully, depends on the timing - full time uni + part time job = not always free on weekends (that's assuming most animanga-related events are held on weekends). Good idea though, don't think local events have booths like that.

OMG, your mom is so cool T__T How I wish my parents were more receptive, they don't understand my fascination with animanga-related stuff at all ("Wah, buy more toys again?" etc. =w=). They were so surprised to realise people can understand anime because there are subtitles, before that they were wondering how non-Japanese can even appreciate it, haha XD

The Tsuruya is really cute, but if I were to get more Haruhi figures it would only be Haruhi and Mikuru just to complete the core group. Otherwise no end T_T

Sigh, they keep torturing us with beautiful Ignis figures T__T So many lovely limited to WF things, evil evil Japanese DX

Prototype pics for the 3rd and 4th figures in the Shuraki series unveiled, going to be camping like a maniac for Needa (#4), she looks fantastic!

#3, Shall:


#4, Needa:


Go stalk the official website for future updates

Haha, guess that's what happens when we frequent the same sites XD I'm so glad a reliable company like GSC is finally doing a Shunya collaboration, kept telling my bf we'd probably be half dead from happiness if GSC or the companies under it like Max Fac and Alter would make a Shunya figure XD The 2nd and 3rd Shuraki figures are nice but I wasn't bothered enough to camp for them, but for Needa I definitely will!

RM200+ retail for the Simca figure is rather decent considering the detail and sculpt, I might get her if finances permit ^^

EDIT:

Another Orchid Seed release - Edelweiss Fumie (1/7, 6477 yen retail, Nov):





More pics at Hobby Search.

I like the facial styling, it's different. And Orchid Seed seems to have perfected the art of sculpting stunning dress folds XD

Glad to see your Ryuna arrived e-jump! She's a beautiful figure! =)

It's a good day for Haruhi fans at P-A, Tora no Ana Bunny Haruhi, Nendoroid Yuki and Konami Yuki are out ^^ *restrains self from buying Konami Yuki* >_<

The face right? That's what put me off the figure, even though the pose is nice. Why won't some manufacturer just pick up the Bubba line of Haruhi figures for mass release

^XD Couldn't resist the pull of Haruhi-ism after all eh? She looks better from the front angle you took though, guess that's what sold you on her.

Also, Ignis the Black, Hobby Japan mail order exclusive (11700 yen retail):



Those of you with deep pockets can try to get her, getting a party to secure a mail order through HJ might be a b**** though. A lot more figure news at this entry at Heisei Democracy.
