Second one looks like the one that came with Mewtwo and Mew….which were pretty garbage really, it did nothing to support it
Eh, it's not.
Tamashii Stage 3 and 4 are not sold with anything, they are on their own, and as you can see from the first link, it's extremely sturdy.
You may have seen something similar to it in thoe Mewtwo, but it's not the same thing, since TS Acts are not included with any toys.
This is reliable and gets nothing but positive review. Hell people can support figures FLYING IN THE AIR with this.
It also has pegholes in the stand that works with Figuarts and Figuarts Zero pegs, so you can simply use it as a space-conserving stands to replace the ginormous ones they come with. According to the reviews, by simple trimming/sanding you can use the pegholes for GLM and other Bandai/Banpresto prize figures.
I have no idea where I can fit the rest of the SNs on this shelf. >_<

1 Kick all those figures out of the self
2 Put Urouge in
3 WIN :ninja:
But really, they look great together. As you have seen Im a rookie in figures and stuff, so I would like to ask how much is a good figure stand worth. I see the second one is 1000 yen, around 10 dollars, I think, so, are they all around that price? Thanks in advance.
To clarify, both the links I posted are the same stand.
The one I linked is a 3-pack, so about 333 yen each.
There are others in the similar range, but this was getting the best review for small-sized lightweight figures.
For the heavier ones, the 12-inch metal stand used for Hot Toys and such are awesome. They cost about 600 yen each.
Then there's that awesome stand from Hong Kong, FS-200… it's like the ultimate stand but also insanely priced at 3200 yen ea lol.

You mean its like 3200 additional yen for each figure, since it only allows 1 at once? WOW, I guess ill go with the one you posted earlier, which isnt half bad, or those 600 yen ones. And by the way, how much is the price for each supernova? And do the prices decrease a significant amount after the release? That would certainly help me get them.

Wow, these are just absolutely wonderful! Figures like Wiper and Perhona just aren't complete without these stands. Looks so much more natural.

Welcome to the 'ditch the bases' club :P
Hahaha I don't know why I found that so funny but I just did. I got a new figure case off craigslist today, and due to bases (and me wanting everything to look clean with the mirrored back) I could only fit a few figures per shelf. I kept thinking, "ditch the bases, ditch the bases…" but I have a hard time doing that because I do find the figures warp over time...

Woah awesome! I need those in my life!! preorders stage 4 at amiami immediately I love how they stuck the arms in the peg holes on the side of the shelving, genius! I'm always looking for clever ways to organize my massive Ace collection so it doesn't just look like a jumbled mess.
Ah! I had an extra base from my Ace Figuarts action figure and just tried it on a child Goku scultures (looked great but made him too big for the small shelf height) and Lucci scultures. I oftentimes don't like that clear line from the stand coming to support the figure (I put it around Lucci's jacket) but it looks fantastic with the glass shelf to be honest. I really wanted a different base for the Madoka SQs (since their bases are white and HUGE), I feel this will work out nicely.

Figure prices are so hard to predict, some figures increase in price significantly due to its limited availability.
One of the dragon figures from Mcfarlane toys shot from its original price of $25 to currently over $200. >_<
If we knew exactly which ones will increase, we could be doing figure trading to make a living! lol.
For example, the pre-TS Law GLM figure on that pic is going for pretty high, 6000yen+ while most others remain around 2000yen range.
The FiguArts Zero ones in the back all just came out, so there's no price mark ups at this point.
As for prices decreasing, IMO it's more likely to increase in price after print ends than decreasing.

All your figuarts should fit perfectly, as the holes are using the same standards.
I think for scultures you may have to widen the holes a little.
Also, if anyone has plastic models, Bandai has a really cheap but effective action base series for like 300yen ea.
They work with all 1/144 - 1/100 gundam models, but works with few others too.
Action base 2 series apparently works on Hoi-Hoi-san so I'm gonna pick up a few lol.
Looks like Miyazawa Model Exhibition 2013 Spring took place yesterday in Japan!! No photo's of One Piece products yet, but i'm at work so can't really look. Damn it snuck up on us again!!! Really hoping we see a painted Z Sanji!!
I've only seen things from GSC (Nendos, figmas and more Mikus…) and Bandai (that Venusaur with Wine Whip is awesome). I didn't know it was today. :/
We never do. It always happens mid week randomly with no warning. lol, but I've been anticipating it for weeks!!

Punk Hazard set is not out yet and they'll bring us another set? Glad it's not Chopper again but a second grils collection.
.
I might try to get some this time. I was only interested on chibihoshi the first time around.
Vivi looks interesting, since I don't have her POP and the scale is on par. Bonney could be nice too, since the POP pose is not really great to pose with the other supernovas. Child Perona? Let's see how that looks like, but I might wait for the eventual GLC one. Another Perona is a weird choice, and I'm a little oversaturated with Namis, so unless her outfit is something unusual I'll pass…
The lack of Robin is underwhelming. When will the manufacturers learn? I just hope that if she is in the 3rd volum, she'll be wearing the W7 outfit. That way, the waiting wouldn't be so noticed.
I'm guessing Perona will be pre-SA look since they already did a SA one. Vivi is definitely interesting, I'm looking forward to some pics of all of them.
While I'm at it I seen that Tashigi SA from the Swordsmen collection is down to 4k yen. So If I had waited a month i could have saved $10 usd but she is well worth the 5k I paid let alone 4k or 4.5k with the fee heh.
Btw did anyone buy that Chibi Hancock with Salome that came out in March? Wondering how she turned out? I don't own anything from the Chibi line but am considering jumping in, you can Nami and Perona for pretty cheap.
Ichiban Kuji does a lot of sets so I would be surprised if there wouldn't be more coming soon. Glad it's another girls set :3 Will be getting a lot of stuff from it for sure!
Perhona says special version for prize A. May be a re-colour of her previous figure. Would be really weird to see them make another one.
I really hope Vivi is going to be in her pricness dress like her WCF.
I did buy chibi blue Hancock, she's not here yet. But I quite love the line, I have all of them but Ace (really hated his face so had to pass). Do get them, especially for bargain prices. They are not too small and have a lot of extras.

As creative as always when it comes to the OP girls. I'm honestly surprised that Shirahoshi isn't part of it.
She could be. Considering there'll be the card holder set. Hopefully they do Robin and Nami and then all different to last time (Hina, Vivi, Monet and Perhona maybe?)

I found Chibi Nami for 15usd at a online store I regularly buy from, which is a good excuse to place a new order. After I divide the shipping she is only like $17.50 total, I'm happy to pay that for an unopened one. After looking at Perona I don't really like the look of it, maybe if I find one for dirt cheap. I'll definitely have to grab Hoshi, she is $20 +$10 on Nippon which ain't bad but not sure if I want to pay $30 total.
I have to say I'm dissapointed that this is another line with no Robin, a pre-TS one would be awesome.

actually chibi-arts showed a pre-TS robin prototype (together with vivi, zoro sanji etc) back in 2011. http://www.plastikitty.com/home/tamashii-nations-2011-bandais-chibi-arts-line wonder why none of those have been released yet.

I'd buy Robin and Vivi without hesitation they look great, thanks for the link. Hopefully they do end up releasing them.

Does Bandai really think that a blue Boa Hancock will sell better than Robin? I mean, really? I'm buying the POP Blue Hancock, but doing her in blue for Chibo Arts seems pretty silly.
hihi to all. new guy here. just started this hobby =)
The Robin's face was pretty off on that Chibi Arts. I'm actually more surprised Chopper got axed to be honest

Why worry about shipping when we have 1Up? $91 free shipping for Roger is pretty damn impressive. That's the same price Shanks was up for and he doesn't come with any where near as many accessories.
I would have gladly took from 1UP but this time i snagged at amiami and HLJ one for me and one for my big brother
plus i can't give money upfront since i am tied up this month.

That's fair enough I guess, but just to be warned, HS have revealed the box dimensions and they'll both be EMS only. From HS anyway.
Roger:
Item Size : 21 x 21 x 31 cm
Newgate:
Item Size : 27 x 19 x 40 cm

Not sure about HLJ but I doubt amiami will be SAL. They've been putting generous space around the figures I've gotten when shipped. 1/3 of the box is usually paper :-/
One Piece WCF Mega Vol.2: Franky Halloween Special for September release:
Amiami and HLJ can ship them SAL or Airmail right?
HLJ you may be alright, plus there's always SAL Parcel with them if small packet isn't available.
To be honest though, HLJ's shipping prices are no where near as competitive as they used to be before the website update. I still miss the old HLJ and their 20% off EMS :sad:
Roger measures box seem pretty normal to me, do you have examples of base 20x20 not sal-able?

I'm more interest in HLJ actually because i can ship it when it's ok for me, as the august month is full for me i can wait for a better moment to ship it like september or october :)
i'll see for amiami, in case my brother is not interest in getting it i'll give my order to someone :)
Roger measures box seem pretty normal to me, do you have examples of base 20x20 not sal-able?
It's the 31cm side that seals it's fate with HobbySearch:
SAL Small Packet Maximum box size
| Card board box | Width | Depth | Hight |
| 90cm Cubic | 27 | 27 | 27 |
| 90cm Rectangula | 37 | 27 | 16 |
| 90cm Flatlong | 57 | 17 | 7
|
Taken from their FAQ: https://www.1999.co.jp/faq_e.asp?Typ1_c=101
HS are pretty strict when it comes to the boxes they have available, but I think HLJ have more variety, so you may be lucky. I did have their dimensions at one point, but they changed after the website update and I didn't ask for the new ones since I order from 1Up now
So I'm gonna buy the blue Pop Boa, I think that color blue is great.
Still eyeing this thread to see a PreTS robin to be released :(.
ok. So updated my POP wishlist (new chapter spoilers)
! 1.) Hina
2.) Magellan
3.) Robin (Dressrosa)
4.) Chopper (Dressrosa)
5.) Kinemon + Momonosuke
6.) Hiruluk
7.) Jesus
8.) Rebecca
9.) Fujitora
10.) Hannybal
11.) Nami (Dressrosa)
! I can guarantee we may see Kinemon + Momo and likely Fujitora
I know this is probably the wrong place but the website is still kind of broken. I got about 5 figures right now and I'm wondering if you would reccomend some glass casing..nothing too big. thanks!
I want a figure of Luffy wearing Momo.

Nice list there Cyber, I'm sure we'll get figures for a lot of these in due course, still I think it's a bit early to see Dressrosa POP's @ MH next month though.
So anyway, Miyazawa came and went and it was a no show for Megahouse!! What a loada crap!! Very disappointed!!:getlost:
Rumour has it that Teach 1.5 is out on Friday, don't know how realiable it is, heard some people on AcToys talking about it.
Yeah too early but that's what I want/ I know that we have to see the likes of Hawkins/Drake/CC and the like first. Kinemon and Momo I think its perfect time for. Will be annoyed if those two don't make a release in some form.
As for that Mega Franky. Am I the only one who is expecting the rest of the crew from that spread to be announced? There's 8 to a set. 8 Mugiwara. Otherwise it's a pointless release lol.

Yeah, Kinemon is pretty much guaranteed. He's kinda played the main ally to the Mugi for this arc alongside Law, and I expect he'll be around for a while.
I also really like the idea of a Jesus figure. He's the most predominant BB member, I just don't know whether the figure we get will be in his gladiatorial getup.
Since we're speaking about POP wishlists
-Vergo (coming with hamburger, french fries and steak)
-Monet
-re-release of DD with the option of taking off the flamingo coat
-Baby 5 with some accessories (nothing extravagant like Franky)
-Nami (Dressrosa ver)
-Robin (Dressrosa ver or even PH ver)
-Luffy and Momo (only this time with fitting pants and a face that doesn't look random)
Knowing my luck, we'll probably get a Shirahoshi and Nami re-release instead.
I will hope for HLJ in that case!
About new POP i'll take everything as long as it's Zoro and Robin, the rest i don't care now, they gonna release the ones i wanted like Shanks, Roger and Franky SA so now i'm almost done with POP line lol
! I agree. After seeing Robin and Nami's new outfits I have an urgent need of figures right to be made. I'm also sure about Fujitora being a POP because his rank.
