I only have Akatsuki Mishiro at the moment.

Mei Feng should be shipping at the end of this month. The only one left which i am interested is Char.

Needa looks a bit old to me. tongue.gif
As for Rize, dunno yet. If get Rize, i got 4 out of 5, then i will "force" myself to get Needa to complete the set. But to me, Rize only okay~okay la. Not as attractive as the first three.

I would say Max Factory's Kureha but since she is not available, Kotobukiya's Kureha then.

Eye Scream's Kureha looks weird, imo la.

If only Needa and Rize were as cheap as Akatsuki, i would have gotten those two.

yaya another reason why i got only Akatsuki Mishiro is because of the price.... biggrin.gif
but she has less details compared to other shuraki gals..
*
From what i see, i don't think Akatsuki has lesser detail compared to the rest of the Shuraki girls.

However, i do evaluate Char and Ryumei to have higher details among the five. Char especially, with that long lovely hair. wub.gif
Maybe i have a thing for blonde tsundere-like characters. rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(raptor_cZn @ May 21 2008, 11:36 PM)
Yup only around 4k yen compared to the rest of teh shuraki figures which are 6k yen and above
*
From my own views la, i think they didn't expect such a well welcome from the collectors for this series, hence they increased the price for PROFIT.

lol. laugh.gif

QUOTE(Exiled_Gundam @ May 21 2008, 11:43 PM)
Coz her price is promotional price for Shuraki. if u consider the details on the figure, it shud be more than 4xxxyen
*
Yeah, Akatsuki is really a steal for a figure which came with other goodies for such a low price. nod.gif


Just when are they going to re-run Char ? cry.gif
Wondering if i should grab Rize and Needa, after seeing how they are not showing the intention to give Char another run. sad.gif

I don't think you can really call them amateur made since it takes a lot of skill and effort to sculpt and paint a resin kit. If they can sculpt then they are definitely pros.. That's why you see them fetching such a high price.
*
The way i chose to phrase that sentence was never meant to criticize their works. My original meaning was that they aren't for mass production. Thats it. It is not like anyone can sculpture something looking that good without the necessary skills.
I admit that i phrased that sentence wrongly. My bad.

unsure.gif


As for myself, i am waiting for a Yoko figure like this.
With a jacket and larger boots.

Thanks. Some were really last minute decisions, like Needa and Rize. Needa was the final piece from HobbySearch. She is sold out everywhere.

Wow.. the postmen sure are dumb not to understand the word fragile there =p. That's some heavy damage on the box.

Yeah. cry.gif
This was the first time which i was at home to collect my parcel, after receiving a lot of damaged boxes in which either my brother, sister, maid or grandmother received it on my behalf (they always deliver the letters and parcels at around 11-12 noon).
I didn't react much or ask the postman why my parcel was in such a shape because i was rather puzzled because i was actually expecting something smaller, my Figma Saber.
I took it from his hands and ran off excitedly ran to my room to open it. drool.gif
To my surprise, it is Mei Feng and to my dismay, my poor Mei Feng's box and her booklet. cry.gif

Their basis was that Mei Feng just finished a re-run, so Char is next.
Duh, i know that much but the date, i want a date. And a reliable source to prove it.

Nope, just that Mei Feng finished her re-run, Char's should be next very soon. doh.gif

hmm.gif  hmm.gif  hmm.gif  But I heard many complains about Play-Asia... especially box damage doh.gif
*
Hmm, i doubt that it is their fault. Mostly is because Pos Malaysia having almost no responsibility over their customer's item.
You can choose better courier services if you want to buy from Play-Asia.
FedEx, DHL or UPS. If damaged, you can talk to either the courier or Play-Asia for some claims.

With HobbyLinkJapan or HobbySearch, you'll be placing the fate of your parcel in the hands of the devils.


I personally had an issue with Play-Asia. Or make that two issues.
One, my figure itself was defective, in a way. The box was dented as usual but particularly, the figure had a defect and this defect has got nothing to do with the condition of the delivered parcel.

Two, they gave me very little room to adjust when my credit card was rejected. Before a week, my pre-order of 3 months was let off and the item sold out. doh.gif
When i complained, they said that i should keep my card in a green light condition. Yarr, i need to check everyday for that particular month when the pre-order is about to release ? Gimme a break. They give no dates of release or what so ever.

And i especially HATE them when the item is NOT either available for immediate shipping or no stock. It says pre-order announced and nothing more. You refresh it everyday. No change. Bam, no more stock available.

Yeah the out of stock thing happens very frequently over at Play Asia but I guess that is due to the fact that many ppl place their orders from them since they offer free shipping and you can use coupons for discounts rclxm9.gif. lol

As for the damage on the box, it depends on the postman and your luck. My Akatsuki which was shipped from HLJ through SAL was perfectly fine.. can even say that it is near mint condition without any dents whatsoever (the outer box was completely intact).
*
*looks over at his 6 HLJ boxes which he refuses to throw away*
4 of them were not in perfect shape, where 2 were terribly mashed up. The other remaining two are in perfect condition.

Sometimes they PMS and take it out on your parcel, sometimes they don't. ohmy.gif

I tend to see Play-Asia with free shipping being almost the same level as ordering something from HLJ with SAL shipping. In this case, i prefer HLJ because they, depending on the size of the item, have a unique way of securing the box inside the parcel. Wrapping the box which is placed right on the middle of a hard cardboard to make sure that it stays right in the center of the parcel.

If got coupons, then Play-Asia slightly cheaper. I only order from Play-Asia if i have coupons. I started to hate ordering from them, after the two incidents which i mentioned in my earlier post.
