Wow the real talk joke went over someone's head. SWOOSH
Lol I know right.
@Panthera69:
just for the fun i wanted to post this in memory of this awesome talk we had
http://i42.tinypic.com/2569qo6.jpgLOL
about boobleheads, it's all about taste !
I have zoro and he is pretty funny, and i'm waiting the release of the Zoro Giants baseball version :3and about my question regarding shipment with mandarake it's solved, They send it Registered :D
thanks for the one who helped me :)
I still say that's a phenomenal custom, and the bobbleheads aren't all that bad :P
Its still Raithos we talking about, you never know :=)
What does that mean hmmm? O.o @saige:
A bit late, but better than never. Here's my small Christmas Haul. Well the days after Christmas anyway. :P
Not the best quality of pics. It was night time and used my camera phone. I really miss my camera. So sad it died a year ago. Still it should give you an idea. I used the flash here and there, but sadly it made some skin areas a little white. You've seen most of this stuff before anyway!

[/hide]First up is Boa Hancock Limited FAZ. I really like how she turned out. The quality is a lot better than the usual FAZ.
There's a few errors here an there. Nothing major or even really noticeable unless you're nitpicking. I like how they actually made the ends of her sleeves transparent instead of painted. That really sucked on the original. She can also stand with the help of a plastic thingo that holds her cap up. You can use the base otherwise, but she seems to slouch a bit.
Overall though, I'm really glad I got her, though a little sad to see many turn up at Mandarake. I didn't think she'd be that easy to get. Lucky though for anyone that's interested. So if you're a big Hancock fan, like me :P, this is one of those figures that has to be in your collection.

The box is pretty!

I had a hard time trying to take a close up of her face. My silly camera kept focusing on her "assets".

It must really hurt to use this pose so much. I'm amazed she hasn't had to go have some surgery!

Here she is without the base.

And with it.

My most favorite so far is this Boa Hancock Super Effect Keychain. It's surprisingly really well painted and really nice. Only found two flaws, but for the size, I really love it.

Because you haven't seen enough of Hancock yet;

Hancock excited she hasn't got a nose.

Hancock GLC.
I'm sure most of you have seen a lot of photos by now. I was really worried about this figure. I'm always worried about buying kid figures in basically minimal clothing. Seens so wrong! It was actually glad it looked crap originally. They did a really great job on release so ended up buying her. She's really cute. I really like how they did her hair. Instead of being straight black, they added some blue highlighting.

For those wondering the quality of IK Romance Dawn Straw Hats. Here's a close up of Sanji's face. I've got all the current four, so really looking forward to the last four (well five with Chopper, but they always group him with Usopp).

On the subject of IK, I really love the card standing figures. I usually collect them all. The quality is really fantastic for the size, and they just look so fabulous.

Sadly my Luffy 2Y has a little white dot on his mouth. Easy to fix though!

Roger and Whitebeard. These two are great. You don't even need to use the bases really, but I think with the card it just adds to it. Roger has a few noticable errors. Mostly on his boots/pants and his shirt. But like Luffy easy to fix. Whitebeard also had some sloppy paintwork on his coat trim, but as before, easy to fix. Though I probably won't bother with these two to be honest. Whitebeard also has his pirate flag on his coat. That's what I really like about these, just little touches that make them really nice.

I didn't really take that many pictures of the Sailing Again POPs since most people have done so.
If you've seen SW Chopper, then you've seen SA Chopper. Other than colour, exactly the same. One day I hope we get a different form. He's a bit hard to stand with such a heavy head. Still it's Chopper, so he's cute I guess.
With Luffy, I like him in his holding hat stance so will display him that way. As to the figure, as people have mentioned, his pants look a little weird since he has such long legs. I think if the pants were made longer, it would actually have helped a lot. The main thing that I find a bit weird though is that the red on the arms doesn't quite match up to his shirt. It's slightly off. His hair isn't that great either. The hat head is a bit uneven too. I'm probably nitpicking though, as honestly he looks nicer in person. I do however hate the ball joints/connectors. WTF were they thinking. So easy to break. The waist one is the worst too as you have to move him around to balance him so he stands without a base. Nothing difficult, but such a poor design choice.
Nami. Well It's Nami. I really like her face on this figure. SW Nami is still my favorite pose wise, but I think SA Nami has a nicer face. I actually like the transparent hair too. It works. I'm not a fan of the pose, however, Nami is hot and makes most guys wish they were Usopp. Plus she has a nice butt on this figure.

- reads whole post, thoroughly enjoys the last segment ;)*
Thanks for sharing that with us Saige, legendary hal on your part. I can really feel the love you have for your figures it's great. I like that Hancock Kyun, and I still need to get on GLC :/!
All in all very nice, congratulations ^^
Wow, saige! What a great haul!! Actually kind of makes me want that boa-looking-down-up figure. I realllly need to cut back, though! ^_^;;
about fixing my bobblehead ace, I really just don't feel like putting the effort in XD No way I'm going to start epoxying him and then have to repaint the whole darn thing. I could fix every problem, but, when it comes down to it, those problems shouldn't be there in the first place. I like his sculpt, so it's easy enough for me to get over it.
edit:
Got ace Chibiarts. He gets along with luffy, as expected:[hide]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fMefRU9vfMQ/TwSy7oKB8aI/AAAAAAAABzc/_eWmG0ACgeY/s876/luffyacecamping.jpg[/hide]
D'AWWWWWWWWWWWW
Wish we could have seen something like that in the Manga/Anime.
