^good choice, my friend
Two sweet characters from two great anime.
General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
-
-
it's from a boys love game, unless you like that you couldn't guess…
No I couldn't. Now I'm mindfucked.

No I couldn't. Now I'm mindfucked.
lol no worry about that you can really tell by it's pose that it was from a boys love game xD

That Aoba is so good but I'm going to pass it. No budget for an unknown character for a game I would never play.
DPCF Naruto kinda nice but going to wait until it's release to check the quality. The latest DPCF quality has put me on hold regarding collecting this line.Btw a bit OOT but I just finished watching Tales of Vesperia First Strike. It's a good anime that serves as a prequel to the game. Really wish the PS3 version would be released in English but no chance due to the exclusivity deal with Microsoft.
Should I try to learn Japanese to play this game? :)Surely will pick Tales of Xillia English version.
And I started watching Baccano! too. This anime is even more impressive than Durarara. The characters, plot, pace, all are really well made. Unfortunately no figures yet for this series. Love it.

Funny right? I just got the Xillia Jap version from someone on mfc, it's on the way to me as we speak. But I'm still a novice at Jap, no not even that, I'm still on the last stage of elementary stage. Wooh tis gonna be a fun thing to do, aint it?
Ah and I picked up the first volume of the SAO light novel today at kinokuniya. It's in Jap, so I can barely read it without stumbling into some unknown kanji character… XD

Just bought and paid for this bad assery, looking forward to the 1/6 size:
I'll also get this to put beside it:
And of course Iron Man nendo coming in February:
And Medaka in January:
Edit:
Also the beasts down over at SYCO Collectables have just shown new images of their 18 inch Cyrax from Mortal Kombat 9. I'm extremely pleased since he's one of my favourite characters from that game and his statue promises to be bad ass

Can't wait for 30th prize fair! -
YESSSS!!! A Zoro and now a Goku MSP! I'm all over it! XD (I'm currently reading the Dragon Ball series for the first time ^_^;;)
-
Cyrax looks great, they're doing a beautiful line. :wub:
-
songoku? i can't wait for the fair as well to see all of them!
-
Went to FACTS in Belgium (Ghent).
And got myself Lord Genome (paid way to much :()
But still am quite happy.
-

Agreed! Definitely can't wait to get him!

I'm kind of surprised no one posted this! What do you think?

It looks good but I'm no Hunter X Hunter fan, nontheless the people who are should get it offcourse.
Cheers,

My 3 Yu Yu Hakusho figures together, they're pretty neat I think, Kuruma seems a bit too much larger than the other 2, but great none the less.
I'm slightly offended they omitted Kuwabura for whatever reason, he was an equal member of the 4 and wasn't made for no apparent reason.

-
Yay finally got the game!!
-
Lucky bastard. :( I'll have to wait till spring next year (or whenever the US/EU version gets released).

Then wait longer for the next part. :|

Well to be honest my Jap isn't at that level yet. I'm just using this as part of a learning venture. I'll definitely be getting the second part as well.

Tiger and bunny: master stars piece kotetsu out now in hk by request:
[hide]
[/hide] -
Haha these Master Star products… they're the only figures worth getting for the budget collector imo. Quality is amazing, price can't be considered expensive if you consider it on a relative scale, compared to POPs and other 1/8 scaled figures. Don't know how producers profit from this, but as a collector, it's a godsend.
-
Well… amazing is a bit over the top, there is a big difference in quality, most often you'll see it in the materials used and the last steps of finishing the product, such as glazes/varnishes and other small details.
I like the Master Star piece, they are good and affordable nothing to special or extreme.
-
As good as tiger and bunny is i dont see myself collecting these handsome male figures unless i am a female. Feels really weird.
I do however see myself collecting really cool bad ass fighting men like fist of the north star, grappler baki, berserk. Those kinds. Real man!
Recently i am hooked watching jojo's bizzarre adventure. Superb
I can see why these sissy ass looking male figures didnt do so well in the figure market because figure collecting is being dominated by male. -

Not that wierd because the mayority of anime male-fans have to do it with just that ;).
I collect Baki the grappler, Fist of the North Star, Jojo etc figures, to each his own. One Piece is also not one of the most masculine series so both sexes like it ;).
Cheers,

I am not as pleased with the dip in quality in the MSPs. Very like Banpresto to release a few, then lower the quality. Luffy, Ace, Jotaro, and Naruto all had nice finishing. A different, non-shiny plastic was used for their faces, and their details are clear and crisp. I haven't bought the new Jojo or Tiger & Bunny MSPs yet, but I have looked at pictures of them on MFC and been miffed. The Jojo Rohan I have is definitely lower in quality, but the sculpt is still great. It makes me irritated that they give this honor to these great sculpts (and tout them as such) but are now failing to finish them properly with the amount of respect they deserve.
Saying that, I think that, for some reason, Gintoki will be nicer quality. I have no idea why, I just feel that he will be. Totally groundless statement! LOL
I must say, that Jotaro now no longer stands. He keeps falling off my shelf. Luffy is still doing ok, as is Ace and Naruto. My Rohan is so warped he never stood in the first place. The wide stances that allow them to stand is also what weakens them to warp.
-
Yeah well, as I mentioned, that is what you get for using cheaper materials.
There are numberous sculptors who are amazing and even sculptors who will do these sculpts for a nice price. A great example of this is the DBZ sculpters contest where loads of new sculpters are eager to join and don't get tons of money for their work.
The real cost is always in the use of materials. MegaHouse is so partially so expensive because of this, their sculpts are not always on par with the Manga (as some collectors would like to see) but the figures are produced with (almost) excellent paint aplication and PVC. Resulting is something more akin to a statue than a good Hasbro toy.Now even with the use of great PVC comes the care of removing mold lines, making quality checks and giving the customer almost the same as the picture on the box shows.
The main reason I stick with the more "expensive" goodies is often because of their quality (so good Paint, good Material, good clean up of the model overal).
Cheers,
-
Oh hm there was a dip in quality? I only have the Ace and Luffy ones, so I really base their quality on what I have plus the pictures I see of other MSP.
-
I hope they go all out for the Zoro MSP
-
also master star dragon ball son goku coming in summer 2013!
-
@ 1Up & Raithos: I knooowwwww!! I want them all!! >:0
VERY excited for Zoro, Goku, and Gintoki!! Gintoki looks great already. I suppose it's easy to predict how an MSP would look since the poses are so static for the most part? Goku! …standing there. Zoro! ... standing, arms crossed? How exotic XD I would be shocked if Zoro was even holding a sword out. Not many MSPs exactly exude a dynamic feeling, and yet, somehow... they manage to capture the character well.
I wonder if scultures child Goku would be a good heigh scale match with MSP Goku? I know that GLC Luffy seems a bit big for his MSP counterpart.

He'll have his shirt off so I think he will be in an action pose with his sword, maybe holding one pointing straight ahead and another on the back of one of his shoulders with the third either clenched in-between his teeth or in its sheath. Hopefully with a bandanna on too, that would be so epic
It may look a little big, Maggie. You'd probably need an HQDX figure to show the size but you never know, try it and see when you get them in person.

I can see why these sissy ass looking male figures didnt do so well in the figure market because figure collecting is being dominated by male.I'm a male collector and don't mind collecting handsome "pretty boy" figures as long as they originate from a great series.
And I think I have passed the phase of collecting muscle men (real man - cough) figures. Don't like those steroid consuming muscles nor the over the top sexually exploited female figures.My last week haul:
along with some Crows figures.Opened Flynn and Shizuo
[hide]
Shizuo's face is not quite like the original but still better than Sanji POP (their designs are almost similar).
I think he's a bit too soft here compared to his real character.
Flynn's armor and overall sculpt are really good.
[/hide]Both are pretty boy figures and I like them. Just waiting for Izaya to complete the trio Durarara!!! set. I wonder if Alter would release Mikado or Anri.
Will take more pictures later. -
Yeah cool haul! No steroid users for me, but I did grow up with DBZ so my first anime show that I completely followed and understand was somewhat muscly.
Now I also watched the other mecha anime, like Technoman (Tekkaman) and Gundam, not much of a Gundam fan but will get the nice Technoman stuff that is comming!
Pics on Tekkaman:

Now guys, I need your help. I am not the biggest Jojo fan, but I like the series and like to have at least one figure of the series I like. Is he cool enough?Thanks in advance for your opinions!
Cheers,

Chibi-Arts Sailor Moon and S.H Sailor Moon coming too.

@Benhan
Arg!!! You already got your Harley Quinn and Shizuo!!! _ Lucky~~~ Still waiting for mine. -- Haa~ that's the worst about ordering from a local shop. How's Harley Quinn? **Oh and I'm very happy coz Big in Japan shipped my Menma today!!! (^o^)/ YAY! Menma!! Can't wait to get her! :D
On a side note, started to watch Baccano a few days ago. Right now it's still a bit confusing but I like it. :) However I didn't have time to continue watching as Jigoku Shoujo entered my life … and there are quite a lot episodes I need to watch. ^^'' So of course I found out that Alter did make a figure of her .. and that it's absolutely beautiful AND ... worth a fortune right now. So again .. bad luck for me. -___-'' I really hate that!
-
Ah, I was just about to post that, you beat me to it! First wave of sailor moon merch, 20th anniversary (aka I'm OLD). Very sad it's figuarts but I'm sure other companies will roll out the merchant. I'll probably get that sh figuarts one, the chibi arts looks a little off to me.
-
Yeah Anniversaries are good excuses to roll out more merch for stuff lol. Was just saying to Alina how many things are promoting their anniveraries. But if it gives us more merch. I'm gonna be poor after next year's 50th Anniversary for Doctor Who.
-
Not interested in that Sailor Moon stuff as long as there're no Outer Senshis .. :getlost:

These SIC Kamen Rider OOOs are amazing
I shall wait for them to eventually develop them in the Kiwami line so they are more affordable.Only new Kiwami announced so far are Decade, Kuuga Rising Ulimate and Kuuga's bike.

http://blog.yahoo.com/cybergundam/articles/730644/indexThat just looks cool, I don't have any need for them and I am sad those custom bases are not included.
Never really liked Kamen Rider, never really liked bugs and beetles either :o
I honestly thought Sailor Moon was long extinct haha
Lol, never, SM and DBZ are the immortal animes.
-
Too true. Sailor Moon is coming back in an immensely huge way. Old merchandise has hit premium prices ($40 even for the uglier plushies), the DVD box sets are the same, and with the manga being released properly in the USA with a new anime to follow they're tugging the heartstrings of older fans and acquiring new fans alike.
-
Oh btw today I got my Sheryl Nome. :D She looks great! One of the best buts ever … hahaha XD
-
I've been watching Sailor Moon since I was a little kid and it always made me sad that they never got any quality figure releases really. I think it is as popular as Dragon Ball worldwide and look at how many merchandise DB has. There are a lot of people out there with big collections of Sailor Moon stuff and yet they all consist of some ugly gashapon-type smaller figures. There are many kits/resins out there, too, but that is a completely different story.
As soon as I heard about SM anime re-make I was very happy primary for the upcoming figures I knew would follow! So I'm looking forward to them :)S.H. figuarts are really crappy so I'll have to see her price tag and actual product pictures before I decide if I want to get her or not, but Chibiarts is a must-get!
-

Is it one of the premium IK figs? I like alot of the Sheryl figures but some like the IK ones are just too much money. Thats a great pic, I like how she is grabbing the curtain or whatever.
-
One of the best buts ever … hahaha XD
I can't but agree ;). Great figure overall, very MJ-esque, a really nice touch.

Yeah, I hate figuarts… I am so excited to see if Alter gets to take a stab at the senshi! I would pay SOOOO much money for a princess Serenity if they made her.
Although, Sailor Moon had quite a few expensive prepainted models that were released. I'll forever be hunting the Kotobukiya cold cast resin prepainted, they really nailed Sailor Moon perfectly, and I love the sculpts for the other scouts as well. I highly doubt they'll re-release them, but I hope upon hope that they will be lazy and re-release instead of making new sculpts XD
