btw how's the quality of Nendoroid Petite? They're fixed figures right?
Thinking about getting this Tales one:

Nendo Petit are really great. Some have these little alternate parts you can change (like arms hair and stuff).
They are like smaller Nendoroids :)
Mine should arrive in a couple weeks, I'll take photos.

Dat Rin ! He's really really really nice. Keeps tempting me ><;
hmm I thought I posted but I guess not? XD
Broke down and took someone's preorder for Rin, but no regrets! I'm excited and happy to have him. I was going to wait for him to go on sale, but for me the extra thousand yen or what have you isn't going to make or break me as I'd be more hurt if I never got him. I haven't been making too many figure purchases lately (just paid for Hisoka GEM but that's it), and I only have 1 preorder and that's for a Naruto one coin box that I'll most likely be splitting up anyhow. I suddenly feel very happy with my collecting situation, not preordering and thinking very hard on how much I want something. Impulse purchases and preorders have mostly disappeared for me, and when I finally decide I do want to purchase something it's much easier to swallow.
I also decided to sell my death note nendoroids and swap them for just 2 L nendoroid petits that I just got off Rakuten for very cheap. I thought most of Rakuten you needed a proxy for, but I guess not! I just ordered the 2 figures from the same seller, I didn't have to pay taxes (of course), and shipping was only 300Y! I'm pretty shocked. Viva Rakuten!

Maggie you just had to introduce me to Rakuten, I went on there and found a couple of the new Film Z wcfs + a load of trading figs for cheap. Hopefully it works out ok, I'm alittle worried that it doesn't give the shipping cost beforehand but theres no way what i ordered can't go by SAL. Its a cool site.
Anyone getting this one? It's quite pricey though, but it's a hell of a sculpt imo

I have her on order, just the wait is terrible since doesn't ship until August.

i will get her, just waiting her price to go down a bit :)
Really wanna get this as well… hm... I think the "Kotobukiya" label is the only thing holding me back, I've never been too impressed by them. Oh, and probably cos it remains out of stock on amiami and therefore "overpriced" at my local store...
Love the anime though. I thought it was one of the best of 2012. Just wish I could read the light novel, my Jap aint good enough :(

for me the best anime 2012 is Jormungand, they should soon make figure of Koko(there is already some prize figure on the way)
i did enjoyed Sword art online, but i am not interest in buying her, i did order the kirito nendoroid though :9
A day late.. but
Happy New Year everyone!

I so agree with you Roro. I think Jormungand is the best anime of 2012! I really want a good figure of her. The face on the prize figure just looks so terrible judging from the 2d promo image.
I need figures from K-project and Kuroko too!!!!
I've been getting more into collecting video game action figures lately, so here are some I've picked up in the last month or so.
Note to self: clean the monitor and stop taking pictures in front of it.
Play Arts Kai - Tali'Zorah from Mass Effect came today. My hypothesis that PAK can be trusted as long as they don't have to sculpt a human face is confirmed. Once again, great texture and detailing. Pose-ability is limited especially the legs, but then again I stink at posing action figures anyway. Accessories, she comes with extra hands along with the M-27 Scimitar shotgun and M-5 Phalanx pistol (which is a repaint of Shepard's pistol.) I'm hoping PAK announces more ME characters, but if the price of Tali tanks like it did for the others, I won't be preordering. Still, great figure of one of the series' best characters.
!
Next up, NECA's Gordon Freeman from Half-Life 2. Awesome! I couldn't help but notice that, for a $25 figure, the face sculpt & paint job is infinitely better than anything ever seen on a $65 Play Arts Kai figure. Anyway I'm definitely a confirmed NECA fan now, this figure is extremely solid, easy to stand, and has great accessories. Can't wait for their Portal and TF2 figures.
!
Another NECA figure, Claptrap from Borderlands. I like this figure but the stand it comes with is frankly a piece of crap.

Tali turned out decent, her paint looks alittle messy but not bad. Buying Shep and Garrus on release put me off from pre-order Fem Shep or Tali but if I ever see them on sale or whatever I'd buy them. I wish Amiami would of put Ash up on sale aswell, HS had her at a 3100 yen back when but I still passed. Their nothing special but they are the nicest figures of ME out there.
I have Claptrap and yeah his stand is crap, his wheel just bottoms out no matter what you do then he leans forward and all. Atleast they tried to give him a decent stand, especially when you vonsider most Neca figs can't stand on their own, stleast in my experience.
I bought a couple ToysRus exclusive Neca figs recently, a Assassin's Creed 2 pack of Brotherhood and Revelations Enzio's. Its a cool 2 pack of alternate colour outfits.
The Gears of War 3 Golden COG Gear, just a repaint of the series 1 COG in the Golden COG mp skin with a gold retro lancer and reg gold lancer. Its just cool looking. Their up on ToysRus.com if you want to see them.
Ha, yeah that's why I try to avoid even going in Toys R Us, that place is a deathtrap for my poor wallet. Not to mention I'm running out of space for all these things (and the packaging…gotta keep the packaging.)

I have the same problem, I collect Star Wars figs and Halo figs and new sets come out regularly. ToysRus Canada has never stocked Neca period, not even the really popular lines like GOW. For whatever reason recently they started getting the Neca exclusives in on the shelves but still no regular releases. I'm happy, I used to have to buy them off Ebay for more money.
Just got her last night (and opened today), love it :wub: I've no problems with the hair either!
I received the Revotech Blue Tachikoma, its pretty awesome. It has a cool metallic paint finish and is very well done all around. The feet arn't magnetic, it comes with a white cube you attach to the bottom which is magnetic. It still looks fine and all. Its fun sticking it to stuff.
I'm very happy with it, I see that HS has some if anyone is looking.
I got my Hisoka GEM today! He looks much better in person than in photos, I must say! Although, I still feel like his face is a bit off >_<;;. I'm so hard to please LOL! I also got some CX5, a newly released sculpting material, so I'm itching to use it right away!
A day late.. but
Happy New Year everyone!

Yeah!!! i am looking forward Alter, koto,MF and GSC making Koko, Valmet and Chequita, that would be totally awesome!!!
no matter if it's nendo, 1/8,figma, as long as i get a quality figure of them!
I think today will be the day whether or not I decide to go with the Queens' Blade figures or not. I know I shouldn't due to space and too much nakedness but been so tempted for the past few weeks with them XD
http://www.kolektakon.com/product/12 Asuna up for pre-order on Kolektakon.
Got my Rohan today <3 Ahhhhh, JoJo figures tottaly got me into reading and watching it heh… The only thing I can regret is that my money are being drained like crazy now XD Because JoJo figures are impossible to resist.
He's beautiful. My only complaint is that these Medicos Entertainment figures are way too small for their price… They are GOOD and I mean REALLY GOOD but for 3500 yen they could have made them a bit bigger...
Got my Figuax Coco today:
!
Great legs.
!
His shoes are very shiny, but I like how big they are. _
!
Torso looks great, unfortunately he has like no ass, it's sad.
!
I really like his face.
!
Overall the paint job is pretty good other than his ear cuff looking pretty terrible.
!
And those big hands look super. I really like him. Especially since his pose, while not super interesting, is miles above Toriko/Komatsu/Sunny's.

I have and adore that Rohan figure. He's really gorgeous and I love his outfit. _
looks like they're putting up the Supergirl Bishoujo. Makes me hopeful that Catwoman and Poison Ivy get re-released soon too.
I think today will be the day whether or not I decide to go with the Queens' Blade figures or not. I know I shouldn't due to space and too much nakedness but been so tempted for the past few weeks with them XD
Revoltechs don't take up much room, Ive got 7 Queen's Blade revoltech. The only bad thing about them is switching out the clothes, Ive broke 2 articles of clothing trying to put them on. Some are just to thin and easily snap. I don't have any of the Excellent model or Griffon ones. Some of the EM ones tempt me but their all out of production and expensive. Atleast the ones I want.
looks like they're putting up the Supergirl Bishoujo. Makes me hopeful that Catwoman and Poison Ivy get re-released soon too.
Who's they?
I need Catwomannnnn
amiami put them up as re-release yesterday
what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I see Supergirl, but I don't see Catwoman on Ami…
by which I mean powergirl and supergirl. They are pretty old. So Im hoping Catwoman and Ivy are coming next
Got this in the mail. Psyched. Hiromi's amazing, really.
my hisoka GEM
[hide][/hide]

Hmm~~ they are not old at all. Ok, Supergirl was first released in 2011 but Powergirl was just released in November 2012 … O__o not old at all. Hm they should do Catwoman though. It's impossible to get her for a reasonable price nowadays. -__- Speaking of Bishoujos ... did anyone order Jaina Solo? I kinda want her now that I've read Plastikitty's review. ^^ She looks gorgeous!
Just got my Rin today. :) I really like him but let's be serious .. what the hell is up with Megahouse? They messed up the pegs for his arms meaning that you can clearly see spaces between arm and shoulder ... they shouldn't be there. :getlost: Worst is that I tried to push them in as far as possible and after giving him is sword etc. the the arms came out a bit again ... -___- haaa~~~ oh Megahouse ... you and your silly quality. But I love him nonetheless. :) His flames look great. Somehow I'm glad Megahouse decided not to go with clear pvc (I hated Marco's flames). ^^
Never ever saw Jaina up for grabs lol. Only just now. I wish they would do more in the movie line since I don't really care for Mass Effect or American Comic books so much (only like Catwoman and Ivy due to nice designs and Arkham City) they did Ghostbusters, they did Star Wars. Why not a Back To The Future one? Or even a Doctor Who?
What girl can you use from Back to the Future though? Marty's mom?

my hisoka GEM
[hide]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3t_t3ud4rYU/UPBN6dh4jAI/AAAAAAAADeU/QE2waQQL32c/s720/hisokaGEM1.jpg[/hide]
How do you like it? How do you like it?
No really, how do you like it?
Doesn't have to be a name character. Its simply the theme. They managed it with Lucy whom wasn't in Ghostbusters so~ Maybe they could do a kinda Two-Face thing? Girl in modern day swimsuit on one side, other side a 50s style swimsuit, and she can have the sunglassses and watch they use for the film posters with Marty/Doc looking at their watch.
Or just a girl in a swimsuit checking her watch with part of the car as an accessory?
Hmm I guess… Maybe a girl holding the flux capacitor or some s*** lol
give them the soul cakibur franchise too. WHY there is no decent merch of Ivy or Taki considering their costumes baffles me.
could someone give me hiromi's email? I tried to order something through kolektakon but well I didn't get an answer till now and it's kinda urgent. XD
Edit: Nevermind, found it. :)
This is mainly for Cyber since he was asking about Queens Blade figs but here is the Shigi fig by Taito that came out in October. She is beautiful, its more of an anime look and very well done all around. If you want an affordable and more space friendly fig she is perfect. She is 8" tall, 10.5" if you include her staff.
Since when did Taito make sculpts like that? I was under the impression that they did prize figures, and their quality was usually crap…
Well Shigi is a prize figure, 1500yen on HLJ. Can't say about quality, I only own 1 other Taito fig that is pretty old, a Gantz prize fig but it is decent. Not as nice as this Shigi but I'd say Taito has stepped up their game. This is one figure that is as nice as the prototype photos.
Oh she looks nice. Although I don't really know her XD I only know Reina(?) Echidna, Jelly Girl, Rana and Cattleya. And the egyptian princess too =3

LOL, funny I was about to post a pic about those WCF.
I want them, please, please does anyone have any info? I am a total newbie, I want to buy those Jump 45th anniversary WCF.
Apparently the first batch goes on sale May the 5th, the second batch June the 6th, I know a long time from now but I want to know where to buy them. Also price? Like how much does the WCF sets cost?
Will they release more? Is there an official site for the WCFs?
Sorry for so many questions but I want those figures desperetly >.>
For me, MSP Goku is a must!! And depending on release pictures… 18 scultures, wcf Goku, Gon and naruto (maybe Ryuk). I've been trying to keep away from banpresto items, but darn that new Gon DX is tempting. I won't need to decide until release, so I have time.

Yep definitely getting this. Wanted one like this for a loooooooong time. Don't get me wrong, the SCultures one was epic. But I wasn't the biggest fan of the rough and dirty almost "unfinished" texture of him. The sculpt is epic though but the paintjob left something to be desired, although it went with his battle damaged look. Also the hair was a dull dirty blonde almost brown colour and not a vibrant golden yellow. They have rectified this here, giving us a large, clean, yellow haired SSJ3 Goku. Will happily get.
That Goku is an absolute must have…
