this is how my setup looks like


lamps are from Ikea during sales, or you can get any lamp, best if have moveable arms so that it's easier to reposition them. The bulb are daylight bulb from Parkson, the light are 6500k bulb. Background you can get from artshops, for diffuser I use a box with tracing paper and the reflector is a white card board.

Dun forget to add in the shipping, less than RM200 is cheap, but Kureha is pretty big so shipping gonna be costly as well.

latest addition to my collection, haven't have time to do a proper shoot yet

yup since the bulb that comes with Ikea lamp are yellow in color.
for pure white background you'll need another light to blast at the background paper, this will give u a more uniform and purer white

should be ok, i started shooting using a Ixus 850IS anyway, before I move to DSLR

I forgot if they comes with the bulb, but I do know Ikea bulb are the yellow light type, not suitable for taking photos.
Light tent are not cheap, usually cost over 100 depending on size, the bigger the more expensive. The lighting effect depends more on how you play around with lights, rather than because of the light tent imo

yes you can but I find a box too limiting to my shooting style

That is Rize from the Shuraki Trinity series, it's not an anime, just an original series created by Good Smile Company and Red Entertainment

still available at Hobby Search mah, shipping should be around 2.4 - 2.7k yen and the first box is only at 4343 yen (HS price), so total price should be quite cheap

around 600g +, with shipping box should be around 800-900g

figures price at PA are probably one of the cheapest around, and yes free shipping to Malaysia from HK. Only problem they have is they run out of stock very fast and they don't restock often.

PA actually encourage you to split your shipment, so that you can get free shipping haha. I have never had problem with custom for my PA shipment though, for HS kena tahan only once.
Handling part depends on your luck, PA boxes are thin so they get damage easily, my Kanu box was damage due to that

well not all the time, I do have 1 or 2 slightly damage boxes from PA haha. guess I am just lucky

mine is stack in 3 places inside my room, use to stack quite a lot on top of my shelf, but kinda scare it will fall down . so now mostly just stack from the floor up.

yup a lot, i own over 50 figures haha, maybe I should get right of my gundam boxes to makes space

open from 7-late at night hahaa

still can PO at Hobby Search

this was our first outdoor figure shoot at klcc park

you can see all of them in my blog, just go to the gallery section, except for Alter Kanu and Rize which I haven't shoot, and the Lamento figures that I have sold already, everything should be there haha

haha soft plastic is not really that soft actually, you can squeeze it but it's not rubbery soft. Alter Casual wear Amaha Masane have soft plastic as well for certain part

hmm my shipment from PA have always been within 7 working days though

yup 7 days haha, and since send to office no need to worry no one receive it

of course, now I just need a 19 years old Feito,

Alter 1/8 Kanu from Ikkitousen
