I'm pretty sure that's Sonico: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/143459

And that Eva was made by Kotobukiya: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/144659
Thanks a lot! Sonico is really cute. :wub:
Even if I don't really like comics I have to say that those DC pgs are fantastic.

I can't wait to have them together, both at 1/6 scale so the size is great.
The full article. That rocks…...I wonder if the suit will be textured... Anyhow, I luv it. Thanks for posting the full image Raithos.

It's not based on the man of steel design so I'm not sure if it'll be textured, I think it will be like the Batman version, but still great :P
We clearly need more Magi figures. Preferably by GSC/Alter or even Kotobukiya.
OMG guys… Ami Ami is going into the figure case market, and holy momma, I swear they must have been reading the case thread in 2ch, pretty much everything we wanted is reflected. And cheap too.
!
As you can see, they have a corner version, and they can all link to each other. You can remove the glass in between, to have the shelves completely connected between them as well. It's dust proof, and fully adjustable shelvings, and even cord hiders for LED. This is going to literally KILL Bukiya Case off the market!
I really wish they'd sell this overseas, if I was to import it it'd cost a fortune… but probably still cheaper than custom made.
Once I move into a new house, I may order a whole set of these for a corner and have it shipped sea freight.
Looks sweet as fuck but ¥39800 is still somewhat expensive for your common collector. Having a proxy buy me 1-2 and ship it to Europe would cost me a fortune too…
For that size and quality, 39800 yen is actually very reasonable.
Most display cases not even close to that quality goes for a lot higher in US and EU.
Detolf is the only cheap solution many have.
shipping display case to you will cost an arm, i'll stick with detolf :)
Detolf are very nice, but those cases look great too
I would invite the girls!!! :wub:
Detolf are very nice, but those cases look great too
They are nice i agree but you can't import them from Japan to you it will cost too much, if someone buy them from a warehouse in your country it can be interesting but sadly :/
why Japan is having all the awesome stuff ….

(^^,) yes, still great!
I agree. That is a nice glass display case, but it is just too expensive.
Ahh, I got my first Jojo RAH today! And it's Crazy Diamond!
I've never been more happy about $300 I spent XD
As expected, fantastic quality, and he's just SO BIG, I started flailing a bit when I saw the box.
wow, crazy diamond really looks crazy, great figure.
Crazy Diamond looks beautiful…..ughhh I want that and Bruno Buccellati (bruno over everything cuz I love that man)

Whaaaaat, yo that's sick Alina!!!
I like the huge size of it too, awesome grab ^^
I'm glad you guys enjoy him as much as I do 8)
I had to make a few pictures with Pink Floyd album (and book~) he's named after hehehe! It's always been my favorite album of theirs, so it's a nice combination of lovely.
JoJo is the best series when it comes to figures for me, hands down. Oogling them on MFC is what got me interested in it in the first place, along with Araki's crazy style. So many really fantastic lines with mind-blowing dynamic sculpts and vivid colours! It gives male characters a chance to shine. I am not even sure which RAH I want to go after next (I've already bought Jolyne but she's still in the mail), I'm probably going to get either Josuke or Kira, but I guess I want Killer Queen the most. It's such a pain that all Stands are limited :( Obviously affects their price… I'm kinda torn between his RAH and Ichiban Kuji, both look absolutely fantastic and cost around the same nowadays.
They are nice i agree but you can't import them from Japan to you it will cost too much, if someone buy them from a warehouse in your country it can be interesting but sadly :/
why Japan is having all the awesome stuff ….
We have moved furnitures from Japan, like when my parents moved to US.
I also already have two showroom display cases with market value of 1500+ USD each.
So yeah, it's not trivial amount of cost, but hardly bank breaking for a one-time purchase. :)
Congrats, Alina!! Lol yeah RAH are surprisingly huge when you first see then, but the quality is apparent. Their posing is wonderful and they usually have good balance as well
Haven't posted much lately because I got a job a few weeks ago and been really busy.
But some nice figures out, that JoJo one Alina has is pretty sweet, not one I'd want though.

Ok, I had already cut down on collecting, but my pocketbook is going to hurt by year end at this rate. Look at the new ARTFX Hulk.
More Iron Man figures. Even Sega is making Iron man. There's more Natsume, Kuroko no Basket and even Pokemon.

I think what banpresto is doing with WCF is extemely smart. They can make figures from their most popular series without having too much risk, and they can gauge the popularity of figures from that series by how well they 'sell.' Also, splitting up characters from each series in each set. Gon in the first set, Killua in the second. Naruto in the first set, Kakashi in the second.
I'm personally ecstatic~! My list is picky but growing for these: Naruto, Kakashi, Ryuk (hoping for Light and L in future sets), Sai (holy crap a Hikaru no Go figure!?!? More please!!), Mashiro (again, holy crap! The Phat figures are nice, but I welcome more of course! Eiji please!), Kenshin, Goku (kind of missed the boat on the older WCFs for DB). I don't follow too many series anymore, so I'm relatively safe with not buying the whole lot of these sets.
http://news.actoys.net/blitz/2013/0215/7614.html
Killua Figma!
Oh no!!! I was expecting more honestly. I will buy him of course, but the alt face simply being a smirk with slightly more narrowed eyes is not making me happy. With Killua there are a lot of expressions to work with, even more than Gon. Killua has lots of outfits, so perhaps they will make another Figma. For now, color me disappointed :-(
My ALTER haul:
Finally I got Selvaria but very disappointed that her head is separated from the neck the moment I opened her.
The neck peg was broken and trapped in the hole.
I bought her cheap from Mandarake for 9500 JPY and the description is like this:
[h=4]ALTER【戦場のヴァルキュリア】セルベリア・ブレス ヴァルキュリアVer.:開封・箱いたみ opened / box damaged[/h]I understood that the condition of the box is opened and might be damaged but with my limited Google translation knowledge, I perceived above definition as the figure is not damaged.
I can glue back her head to the neck peg but the problem is I will be restricted by one pose only. She has alternative pose and armor which requires the head to be removed before installing the alternative parts.
What do you guys think? Shall I claim to Mandarake about this damaged figure and am I eligible too?
Your advice or experience with similar issue will be highly appreciated. :)
^If it's mandarake you got it from, you could try letting them know, but I doubt they'd be able to do much about it. They're a second hand store after all.
You could try asking Alter instead. I sent a mail to GSC when the 1/8 scale Miku I got from a local seller had paint chips all over. They sent me a new one shortly after. This is Good Smile we're talking about here though, the same guys that sent free replacement parts for the 2012 Snow Miku nendoroid. I don't know if the same will work with Alter. Last I heard about their customer service (that whole Milla-hair debacle), it was pretty crap.
He didn't buy it brand new though, the fault all lies with manda for not properly examing the figure or for leaving damage out of the description. I'm assuming its the first one. Most of the stores put warnings in the description that cover themselves from problems like this. I doubt they would do anything.
Its interesting how it says damaged box-opening. Maybe their way of saying the figure was damaged when it was opened but they neglected to say exactly what the damage was.
Breath Seruberia Valkyria Chronicles Valkyria Chronicles Ver ALTER []. : Ope ned / box damaged damaged box-opening
You could always try and contact them, maybe they could clear the description confusion up atleast.
That is really unfortunate either way, I have the Selvia bikini one that came out more recently and I'd love to have that one myself. Sorry to hear she is so damaged.
OMG guys… Ami Ami is going into the figure case market, and holy momma, I swear they must have been reading the case thread in 2ch, pretty much everything we wanted is reflected. And cheap too.

Na~ Alter's customer service is awesome. They also send ot replacements and sometimes even a whole new figure. I'd rate Alter's customer service better than GSC's, coz latter refused to send out some replacements lately.
@benhan
Contact Alter with photos etc. and ask them if hey can do anything about it. As far as I know, that figure is known for having some problems. I remember other collectors stating that they received her with neck broken. I really wouldn't blame Mandarake. They always check their stuff really good. Maybe it happened during shipping.
Sweet, Alphas figure from Zetman!
So I FINALLY got a figure of one of my favourite game chars ever. Paine from Final Fantasy X-2. Been trying to get her playarts kai forever. I remember before I started collecting OP merch I tried to get this one. But couldn't. Finally managed to track her down pre-owned for kinda cheap and after cleaning her up she looks nice.
Unfortunately she doesn't stand well without her base. And you can tell she's an old figure from the quality. But meh. I'm still very happy I managed to get her in the end.
That's awful Benhan. I don't have much experience, so I wouldn't be able to comment. I do hope it works out for you though.
@Cyber
Congrats! I am sure it must feel good to finally get her. I looked for a reasonably priced Zack Fair for the longest time until I gave up. Luckily, I moved on to other characters.
Even though I am getting Master Stars Gintoki, this Dx of him is looking promising from wonderfest.
[hide]
For EVA fans, Sega's Asuka looks really cute here. I think this is one of the nicer ones of her. I would assume inexpensive too.

Some interesting Garage kits that caught my eye. You can look at the rest of the GKs from wonderfest @ Tomopop

God damn, and I was just looking at getting Sylveria too.
I did a little research and apparently she's had a history of breaking at the neck. People warn to be careful when buying her from other collectors or shops like Manda. I don't know if manda will cover you though, I have a feeling they'll be like: "well you took this risk hen you ordered the figure, our rules clearly state…" blah blah blah. I hope you can get that sorted out because that's a really excellent figure and it's complete bullshit she came to you like that. I'd do as the others suggested and try Alter, also check out the mfc comments section of her and try and message other users that have had the same problem as you to see if there are any other alternatives you can pursue
Great job on the Momohime and Lillia pickups!

I've had Selvaria since she came out. She's really beautiful. I like her more than the other one that goes for silly amounts. Though if you pose her with the shield and sword the space she takes is silly. The hair and the huge base doesn't help either. Regards she's a great figure to have. So I'm really sad to see that you got her broken :(
I too would of taken that it was only the box damaged so I think it's just badly worded or they didn't actually check her correctly. I'd contact Mandarake and hope for the best. If I recall the head is really just one pose, it's just variations of her hands, so if you're able to get the peg out, you could try to stick it on again.
Thanks friends for all the feedbacks.
I emailed Mandarake and let's see their response.
I will check MFC and other forum too about the best way to "fix" her. Until now can't pull out the peg from the neck hole.
For the meantime, I'm just enjoying Momohime.
She's ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. A masterpiece and I just can't stop taking pictures of her :)
More beauty…
[hide][/hide]
Momohime is so nice Ben >.< excellent
Do you have a sharp knife like an exacto knife? Or a thumb tack? Try jamming it right down the center of the peg and to a slight angle and then pulling the peg out? Or try supergluing the tip of a thumb tack and then jamming it into the middle of the neck joint letting the glue bond and then pulling it out?
Momohime is very pretty. Congrats Benhan!

Mandarake finally responded:
"Sorry for the inconvenience.
We will file a claim form to the Post Office, but we need to ask you to file a damage report to your local post office.
To do so, please take the broken item to the post office or have them come over to you to check.
After we file the damage report from our side as well, and if we recieve the refund, we will refund it to you.
Sorry for the trouble."
I think they will just claim to EMS for shipping damage while the actual situation is the figure is surely damaged before shipping.
Well, I will try to file a report but honestly don't expect much from this.
My fault too in believing the too good price of her (9500 JPY) while she's consistently at 13,000-15,000 JPY at Mandarake.
If I have to stick with one pose, what's your suggestion? The one with the blade or not?
The hair certainly is heavy enough to break the neck.
Poor design choice. She's still wonderful though.

Thanks for the heads-up Raithos. I don't have it but will look for it. Hopefully I can pull the peg from the neck hole.
Momohime is very pretty. Congrats Benhan!
Indeed. She's so great and pretty for a character I don't have a clue of. The sculpt is great, and the execution of ALTER is perfect (I doubt she will end up this good if produced by Megahouse).
With that many details and gradient of colors, she's so nice to take pic of with various filter on.

Well if you're able to get the peg out, then really you're fine once you stick it back on. Just make sure you don't apply lots of glue, and if you can spare a few bucks, get a super glue that drys clear. If you can't get it out, then I do suggest you use a super glue that drys clear. If you have a friend that builds models and knows what they're doing, they should be able to help you out and fix it pretty easily.
Display wise, it's really up to how much space you have and which you like. Just keep in mind with the shield and the sword makes her take a lot of room vs without. I personally have her without them since I don't have a shelf long enough. I actually like it more without them. But personal choice ;)
Really good thing you used EMS. You could always sit on the box a bit so it looks a bit damaged, obviously not with the figure in it xD. Moving on! I had a package lost from Mandarake last year. It was a small item not worth much, but I sent it via EMS so I ended up claiming it. Not sure how long USPS would take, but for me Australia Post took about three weeks to try to find it. They then send me a letter saying they couldn't and since it's insured a claim can be made. I emailed a copy of that letter to the Mandarake store I used. But I highly recommend you also use the contact page on their website. I ended up doing that after I had no response after a week. The person that got back to me there mentioned that the people at the store I used didn't speak or read much English. They translated it for them and the store then sent me a confirmation that they put in a request with Japan Post. It took just over two weeks from there, but they refunded me the amount including shipping. It probably be faster for you since it's not lost, but I'd guess you'd have to include pictures of the damage and box.

Congrats man, I recently finally found Rikku myself. Only bought Paine and Yuna when they were released and once I decided I wanted Rikku she was going for atleast $50. Took a long time but stumbled across a sealed one at a small anime convention.
The FFX-2 set is actually the first figures released under the Play Arts line. That set must be 10 years old now, they only released FF figures under the Play Arts line then revamped the line into Play Arts Kai which are bigger and better quality.
I really love the set myself and Paine was always my favourite aswell.
