I know, right?! It shows that they do care about their customers and don't want them to be deceived!
… Either that, or they don't want the money that should go to them go to the bootleggers.
Ah thanks Raithos!, Definitely want that kyun chara Nia, weird they didn't do Yoko but oh well.

Well Yoko dominates 98.5% of the Gurren Lagann figure market so I guess it evens out? I personally don't know why figure companies haven't attacked TTGL and given us the main cast, but oh well.
(Barring the disgustingly expensive Eye up Kamina, season 1 viral and Kuji Spiral King, there's not even a scaled figure of Simon out AND HE'S THE MAIN CHARACTER, wtf?)

Hey either reason is fine with me! Lol
I think I remember those figures, Raithos! Viral sat on the shelves, 75% off at hlj forever. I remember I hadn't seem the series yet but I almost bought him out of pity since the sculpt was nice. Poor guy.

That's annoying to hear, it really is. I always miss the good stuff >.>
Recent Haul:
Geez that is a haul indeed!! So much madoka! And more yugioh figures?

Those are only my first ones though?
I need to get Dark Magician as well in August
Just got a minor restock on Kotobukiya's 1/8 Scale ARTFX Vash the Stampede.

Got my Dizzy figure by Alter for 13580JPY, but SAL shipping unregistered alone cost 1280JPY…
That sure is one big box.
What the hell, the new IK DB it seems to be out but is freaking expensive, 12k Y ssj3 goku and 8k Y the motorbike goku at mandarake. Out of my league :(:(.

IK are always like that when they first release, just give it a couple weeks and as more pieces come in, the prices should go down

I hope so, but im still waiting for a price drop for the las IK OP Memories and it never comes to a reality hahaha. Do want that Shanks with child Luffy.

Is that so? I often see Roger for 4500 yen, Ace for 5500, Z for 6000.
Luffy and Shanks do go for about 10k yen, it's ture. I guess this is a rare time when one of the prizes is significally harder to obtain than others.
That ace started around 7500Y then bottomed out around 5-6k. I honestly expected him to drop more, mine was 5k at Mandarake. Though, that Luffy & Shanks is pricey…

If I already didn't have enough Vash figures, I'd be tempted..

Ill never buy that Shanks and Luffy for 10k yen, pfft

I bought Roger at 3500, Ace at 5000. But Shanks and Luffy is out of my league, saw one at 9000 but immediately sold out.
The same with IK Zoro. I won't buy him at 9000-10000 and his price looks won't go down atm.
For the new IK DB, I think Prize A would be down to 5000-7000 (saw one at 7000 already) and Prize B 4000-6000. I just want these two.
Just be a little bit patient, Abaddon. DB popularity I think is less than OP atm. :)
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Lancer up, he looks rather handsome:
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-IPN-5949&page=top
Yeah. I think I would order him. But Banpresto IK's one also looks awesome.
I like how they sculpted Emiya too. Couldn't resist the Gilgamesh and finally bought it.
So would have Megahouse Rider and IK Gilgamesh.
!
Saber's hair isn't colored yet but she looks awesome in that pose.
Dragon Ball WCF vol 1, Released 4 April 2013 in Japan
Goku's eyes. Nightmare.
Vegeta is just lacking a moustache to twirl by the way he is rubbing his hands together.
I actually only really like the Pilaf one there.

So Super Saiyan God is Goku with red eyes and slightly reddish normal hair?
Man you got lazy Toriyama.

Man you got lazy Toriyama.
Interestingly I was reading about this today after seeing photo's over the weekend:
"According to an interview with the Battle of Gods character designer, Tadayoshi Yamamuro, the original concept for Super Saiyan God had the form of being muscular and wearing a cape. The series' original author Akira Toriyama came up with a picture of Super Saiyan God that was completely different than Yamamuro's own initial muscular, cloaked design. They went back and forth like this a bit before settling on the final design, and Toriyama was insistent on the form not being really muscular.[3]"

Cut him some slack. Dude's been out of the business for a good amount of time and only partook in the movie's production 'cause he's probably got nothing better to do. For what it's worth, reddish-haired Goku looks better than a mass of muscles with a cape (seriously, a cape lol).

I prefer this over his hair growing even longer. If it grew anymore he'd turn into Sunny from Toriko. xD

I find SSJG to be the most unique of all of the SS transformations to date spare the original SSJ form. Ascended, Ultra, SSJ2, and SSJ3 are all just increasingly exaggerated caricatures of Goku's original transformation in my opinion. I didn't have very high hopes when we first got wind that there would be a new form, so to me this is a nice breath of fresh air. I think if Toriyama had wrapped up the series after Namek like he originally planned to and wasn't forced to keep writing by fans and Shueisha that people may have been a little more receptive to this new forms portrayal.
I thought he'd get something akin to SSJ4 (let us not speak of that abysmal series) netting him an image closer to the "Monkey King" motif namesake. I actually loved SSJ4 the only thing good enough to come out of that god awful crap that shall not be named. SSJ4 Gogeta is mint. I was expecting something akin to that (hair is an adequate length, and he has the whole Monkey/humanoid thing going on, directly tying into his Saiyan lineage as well).
But no, we get Kaio-ken Goku with red eyes?
Still lame to me.
The wcf eyes kinda funny too haha.
Uuuugh this is driving me crazy! Someone please help! I was looking for good images of Eiji Nizuma's sketchbook from Bakuman and I came across a real one that they made but it's sold out!! ;A; I don't 'need' it but it would sure be fun to have. If anyone comes across it let me know, though Shueisha Mekke stuff is hard to find if you're not in Japan. :-/
https://mekke.shueisha.co.jp/CGI/mekke/shop/s_seq.cgi?code=4530430151875
Darn, I wish I was going to Japan soon… Jump Shop... <3
I got the Gintoki MSP in the mail, and I really do feel the quality is falling. He just feels cheap, and details are getting less and less crisp, seam lines are terrible. Photographs nice though!!
[hide]
[/hide]
His sword keeps falling out of his hand, MEGA frustrating when I'm outside photographing him moving him from place to place <_<;;
Compared to MSP Luffy he looks cheap in those pics. Damm…im waiting for mine. Lets see whats going to happen with MSP Zoro this month (wich i miss the PO everywhere, i hope 1up will get some more once its released :()

Yeah I already preordered Goku and Zoro, not really expecting amazing quality anymore. Banpresto seems to be doing their regular nosedive in quality midway through a new line :-/
Yeah wow his quality is awful, very nice pics though
I wouldn't say the whole line is failing since I recently got my MSP Girono and he's mighty awesome. I guess Gintoki just wasn't that lucky :/

Mehh i was looking for kaicho no maid sama chibi figures or somewhat..cant seem to find
Anyone got lead?
WCF DBZ Movie vol 1 released in Japan today
!
@Al!naJames:

I was thinking of giorno, but he's got a lower print run and is more exclusive, so perhaps he got more attention and better qc. For the price Gintoki is fine I suppose, but I still think the earlier MSPs are nicer.

Congrats Aohige! How did Drake and Hawkins turn out? I've seen pictures, but I haven't heard anything about them.
^I guess I will find out in a few min.
My MSP Gintoki is on his way to me (and I really hope he manage to arrive) and I guess I will like it
It is really strange choice of characters with the Dragon Ball WCF. Mai, Pilaf and Shu??? and they look better than Goku and Vegeta! I hope to see vol.2 with other characters.
and the God Goku design is just….. plain??? It is very similar to DB Kai WCF special color version!
the new characters (villains) are looking good. The old DB WCF are better than those, Goku is very slim with big head which is "pointing forward?"
!
I was very happy with new WCF for DB but now I am not sure if I want them or not…

Ummm…. they may look like little cute lolis, but they are actually palm-top sized little terminators. :happy:
They are merciless, emtionless, and relentless killers who will not stop until their targets innards have been splattered.
If anything if you read the source material they're extremely creepy and gross.
Here, watch a short 10 min OVA.
Manga series recently restarted with Hoi-Hoi-san Legacy, I'm eagerly awaiting for the release of the tankoubon.

Have they put Sena in a set yet? This is 4 and I only remember seeing 1 and 2 previously :/
Anyways. Got my D-Arts Mewtwo. Annoyed at how much higher quality this is compared to the S.H Figuarts we got a few years back of Nami. He's kinda stiff tho and his tail falls off easily. Goes well with Link, Samus and likely Pit/Pittoo too. Decided to order Charizard. If Venusaur is announced will get Blastoise too.
