Hi
I was just wondering if anyone knows any way to get a paint mark off a figure, as I got my maines dx kizaru and there is a bit of yellow paint on the blue inside of the coat?
thanks

I usually fix those by painting over.
I use my old art supplies : acrylic paints and tiny brushes.
You can also buy paint especially for figures.
Hope that helped :)

I usually use what BJD hobbyists use, a "magic sponge" which doesnt need much water and cleans the spots off, even on delicate areas. here's an example

Took pictures of the meh that is Family Keyrings. They looked nice till I actually opened them. Bellemere is smoking a joint/newspaper. (If that. It's randomly stuck to her face) Nami has the Plague. Robin's hair is sculpted in a way to make the painting impossible….so yeah. Half of her hair is skin colour. All of them have cracks in their necks because of the poor and flimsy material. And none of them stand up. Well actually. There's the oddball. Olivia. Who is actually pretty decent. Aside from that these are just pathetic. I feel ashamed that I paid £10 for them. I'll leave more for the review but:
aaaaaaaaaaawww~ which bikini hancock to order?!! GOLD … or PURPLE?!! XD and no ... I'm not taking both! :P
Oh is gold bikini hancock PO out already?
Btw cyber, were those the keyrings that came as a pair each? They looked decent from the shop pictures! Its really a shame… they even got robin's dress colour wrong, its purple not black >:(

I said the same. But it's black. Not Purple. It's just YET ANOTHER Anime Robin colour fail. Look on vol 41 cover.
BTW: Inishi. Can you PLEASE pm me with your address so I can get your parcel sorted out? XD

Thanks Elizabeth. I will try
ugh of course i missed brotherhood at playasia. I'm too impatient to get my hands on that ace, I don't want to wait for Big in Japan! ;A; If anyone got extras please let me know… though i doubt it.
and why are all the stores in the USA taking order for the new high spec and game prizes (GLM 9, GLC) though we've seen nothing from any of the japan/asia companies? This is worrying...

Thanks pexxy. I'll look into it aswell as the paint brush
Anyone who ordered Brotherhood from PA get their shipping order yet?
Normally I get an email from them about 3 hours after I've ordered but not today

Well, I think the gold swimsuit looks trashy. Like it's an exotic dancer costume or something. ^^;;;

yup i received mine..they already shipped it a couple of hours ago :happy:
That Chopper doesn't look bad (although it's very difficult to fail with the paint with Chopper since he's not the most detailed character…). Fingers crossed PA will get some WCFs this month.
If I had seen Brotherhood in PA this morning I would have totally get it, but I didn't really wanted them.
Keithgator, you've got a PM.
<- That Usopp looks cooler with color :P
The brotherhood looks so good I really want to buy it, but do to having the same models as P.O.P's and not being the biggest Axe/Luffy fan I will leave this one alone for the bigger Ace/Luffy fans.
The Akoji, Akainu and Kizaru news is kinda REALLY old? XD
Wee, i got my Sunny modelkit today from Amiami. Looks really nice as far as i can see. You can do it without paint
but i will paint mine i think. However it probally will take a while before i will be building it.

lol I thought the same. It looks nice. But I kinda would be insulting myself with keeping any Ace merch. (Although I probably will get one for the wcf just cus I like that series) Especially one based on the same panel as all of the others. I suppose it woulda made a nice review.
. I suppose it woulda made a nice review.
Absolutely, plus your latest review also was boss. To bad that many people who start reviewing figures only do it for such a small ammount of time. Ah well, guess the hobby is quite expensive.
I can't wait for this:
If somebody doesn't want it give a shout, I am very willing to buy this model. Considering how the previous line of these figures was painted I will also do paint commision jobs and will re-paint my own.
HI, has everyone seen the Kuma jacket on amiami? Does anyone one know how the sizes work out compared to the UK. The arm lengths seem huge??
aaaaaaaaaaawww~ which bikini hancock to order?!! GOLD … or PURPLE?!! XD and no ... I'm not taking both! :P
Get both, choose and then sell the other one =D
Thanks for the heads up sensui. Just wondering how those of you who have previously bought the Figuarts Admiral at amiami, what are the shipping cost like? Since the box is quite big, are the shipping cost expensive? Just need to know so I can plan around with my budget. Thanks!
The boxes aren't small but they are a good fit. You can fit 2 admirals per small packet SAL packaget limit…..so you can prob get 2 shipped for around 2000 yen. Then you need another seperate package to ship the 3rd one for around 1100 yen. This is my estimate for small packet SAL unregistered. Not bad at all.
I thought it depended on the size and weight? For just Akainu SAL reg it was 1700 for me. So surely 2 figures on SAL registered it would cost a bit more?

I was searching for something like this!! Thanks pexxy! I have some spots here and there on some of my figures so I hope this does the trick.

no problem! i usually get mine from Daiso as they sell long pieces for 2SGD, and it can be used to clean practically anything.

They look funny enough, although I wouldn't get them because their size indeed is a bit wierd. The XL is HUGE however, ment for people of 190cm+. It would be a bit big for me but doable I guess.
All I can say is thake the mesure tape and mesure your own jacket. 1 cm = 0,393700787 inch / 1 inch = 2,54 cm
Couple notes:
Registered = extra 410 yen per package.

Good choice, purple is the original colour of the illustration ;)
Okay so I am looking to pick up a set of the admirals, but I can't decide which to pick up… The cost isn't an issue for me I just want the "best" looking set. I only know of the figure arts, but I really don't like the Kizaru one because of the way his hands are, and the DX set with Sengoku. Are there any others I should consider? I know cyber got a really good one of akainu but I forget which set that was <.<;
Either way just looking for some advice on em!
My Akainu is the Figuarts one.

Kizaru comes with a swappable set of hands.
errr! i missed brotherhood on play-asia T_T
thanks sen, the shipping isnt bad. i wish i got brotherhood T.T ace looks so nice.
My Akainu is the Figuarts one.
Thanks, I just rewatched your review of it… I really like the Akainu one but I looked at all the shots of Kizaru on MFC and I just hate what it looks like! :<
http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/178653&ref=item%3A47214
This picture is the reason I don't want that Kizaru… I mean his suit doesn't even look like the right color to me in the Figurearts one. My OCDness with sets is killing me :P
edit: fixed.

You can't directly link images from MFC.
Post the page's link :)
Wow, after seeing Brotherhood prices on P-A I feel so ripped off by Otacute. 18$ vs 30$…I mean, wtf? What's wrong with them?
crease is gonna get some more in, so hit him up if u need some!

Been seeing so many images and reviews of the brotherhood set makes me want to get them as well T___T~ but at the same time I try resisting on having the same characters. Saving up for up coming POP's!! Why must you look sooooo epic ACE!?!?!

I've noticed that too. I see US stores listing DX and GLM merchandise. It also surprised me when they are taking orders for GLM9 when it hasn't even shown up in the Japanese stores. I actually think it 's a good thing. At least, it won't be such a hunt to get the rest of the GLMs.

Has anyone here ordered anything from Hobby Frontier? They have a few POP's for orders and they're based in Singapore. Any positive/negative feedback? Though I think most of you guys here order mainly from Japan distributors like from AmiAmi, HLJ, Otacute, etc.
Found a Bepo on Otacute after seeing it on Amiami (Y).
Even if I don't check every day, I'm still paying to pay a little more if it's someone I want.

hey, does anyone here have that Figuarts Luffy figure? Is it any good? I've seen reviews online, and apparently the posability is great, but the thing itself looks really cheap and the joints are really visible.
so, for people that have one, how does it look in person? Will the joints and seams piss me off? Do the colors look good?
Is it worth spending about 50 bucks on, I guess is my question.
