Akiba...sure.. lots of competition... but even not in Tokyo area, u can get Medicom 12" for 2k yen, and Revoltechs for 300 yen or less. Frequently 2 to 3 months old figures have 50 to 70% off...

they charge by USD.. high too... but less than Yen

Reflect and Vispo are individuals....

Reflect... Mitsumasa Yoshizawa @www.mitumasa.com
Vispo..... Katsuhiro Katagiri (could be wrong)@vispo.cc

You have the option of 2 heads for the pvc fig..... one as shown and the other more anime like with oblong vertical eyes/iris/pupil

Miss Nobody... or Namae nai no ona..

Actually from a Nitro+ eroge game, Zoku Satsuriku no Jango, Miss Nobody/"No name" actually has a name, Donne Anonime

Another Kanu,... more figures using its very own set mirrors....

HLJ.... SAL only goes up to 2kg for 1780 yen. So if it is 3600 yen, is it 2 packages at approx less than 2kg each? Or 3560 yen to be pricise?

Beside Max Factory's... there is also Alter's and Bome's on display...

Add to that... Amiami charge 500 yen for every shipping (throughout Japan)... Even if you order 100 figures, they, by right should charge you only 500 yen. Another 200 yen for COD

Amazon offers free shipping in Japan (for over 1500 yen), and 200 yen for COD.

Amiami have more or less fixed price with 15 to 25% discounts off retail (inclusive tax). Amazon's price is more erratic, 0% to 20% (for unreleased figures). Prices for released figures (on Amazon) can skyrocket if it is popular, and drop if it is not. Both Amiami and Amazon can have deep cuts/promotional discounts 50 to 60 to 80% for older figures...

15% discount is kind of normal or on the down side.... Big retail stores like Biccamera or Yodobashi you can get about 19% discount (10% points upon discounted 10% retail price). Revoltechs are much cheaper in the big retails ... up to more than 30%. Smaller places like Melon/Toranoana/Mandrake you can score big in discounts, 2 to 3 months old figure (not so on newly released figures), some have 40 to 50% discounts ... or, 5 to 8k yen figures available at 1 to 2k yen...

There are plenty stores in Akihabara where bargains could be had...

Now and then, Biccamera and Yodobashi increase their points to 15 or 20% (from 10%), so you will get bigger discounts...

I also received a box 70-80% flatten... head detached, figure stand broken, Post- Malaysia tape the boxes back... Luckily the figures are revoltech/play arts with movable/detachable joints

1/4 scale Kanu by Volks... on sale on 1st to 6th Jan.... Maybe arguably the most detailed/propotional big Kanu figure.... based on Volks other 1/4 scale statues sculpt by Chorosuke.

1/8 scale, to be released in March...

Yen value shot higher... now about/less than 90yen/USD... 13 year high... A bit of good news USD dropped against MYR

BOJ is said will start to intervene when reach below 90 yen level...... Maybe buying dollar by the trillions....

Wrongly priced, I guess they have to honor their price if you book now...
