No, I get 4 packages today, 2 from crease (Shonen Jump, Strong Words 2, Evangelion Guide and Touch books) and the other 2 from ebay (One Piece Vol. 1, Cross Game Vol. 3 and City hunter Guide Book). OP Viz Volume is from ebay XD.

Cyber-Robin

@Al!naJames:

Got my new Styling & Brotherhood today~

Even though I dislike Supernovas I kind of wished they did the rest within styling line too.
Their poses are simple, but they still look nice.
It still pisses me off how bad anime coloured Bonney's stockings XD It's the same pattern as Sanji's skypea shirt, argh!

It amazes me how all Kid figures so far have different poses, yet all the Laws are the same XD How do they manage that?!
(Law is from the previous set, throwed him in for the pictures)

Wanted to keep both Namis (normal + alt) and Luffy too, but space issues are not letting me to do so >_<;
And this version of Nami in blue bikini was made into a POP and a DX figure too so…
How many bikini Nami figures do I have now? XD I've lost count.

And brotherhood is amazing~

Luffy's face looks… derp XD

But apart from that it's perfect. I love the colour scheme and the sculpt, their legs are so tiny~
Quality is excellent, no paint issues or anything like that. A must have figure.

Love the pictures Alina! You make them look so good that I really want to get mine right away. But unfortunately I'll have to wait till my proxy can get his hands on them for me first. Shame. But I've changed my take on these figures, they are pretty darn awesome! Small yes, but still awesome.

I've tried to search all the collectibles threads but I can't seem to find the post again about how to get rid of paint imperfections on figures. Can someone please help me out?

I think somebody just suggested to paint over them. It really depends on where it is. Obviously you run the risk of damaging the figure further.

saige

Wasn't it using some solution or solvent or something lightly with a cloth. Though I guess that only fixes smudges. I think it was Pexxy that posted something about it. I'm probably wrong though :P

I'm pretty sure that my postman has just given up and is keeping all letters and parcels for himself :/

put in a complaint! I would but I just got some post. (nothing One Piece related tho.)

Wahaha, maby he's also a one piece collector and just collect your parcels, wahaha.

You have more Manga for sale? ^.^ My collection is up to almost 2250 volumes now :D Let me know what you have! It must grow!

A reply to the PMs I've received (no space to reply) on where to find stuff in HK
good places are sino centre (dont mistake it for sinocity, the fashion mall) down nathan road, richmond 111's basement and CTMA centre (more expensive). loads of one piece merchandise but beware of bootlegs.
I saw boa hancock pop being sold for 99HKD, and the bikini namis. Should be bootlegs I think but they looked pretty darn good for bootlegs. I really couldn't tell, until now I'm not too sure about them.
Oh and I realized that the WCFs have an international toei sticker, is this common for WCFs? I thought that they should have the japanese sticker but they didnt.

Off the top of my head it's Bobobobobobobo. Yugioh, Yugioh Duelist (Both complete), rurouri kenshin, Shaman King, Prince of Tennis, Yakitake Japan, Eyeshield 21, Ikkitousen (Battle Vixens), Battle Club, D.Grey Man and a couple of other loose ones like Hikaru No Go, Disgaea and some others.

sensui

More closer pictures of WCF vol. 14…...guess Banpresto knows no matter what these look like people will buy em (and they're right):

!

On the bright side, some of them don't look too bad….but man...Ace and Akainu....piercing eyes.

Inishi

Just why did they start painting the wrinkles? - _ - Doesn't make any sense to me. Looked way better without black color.

edit: jesus christ, just noticed Corbys fronthair. x) Wtf?

the black lines in the face look horrible T____T

depends on what figure, really. >_< I'll start up a thread about it this weekend, I think (time permitting). I have a quick custom I need to do anyhow and I have new materials I need to play with.

Uggghhh why does the ace WCF have to be one of the bad ones? ;A;

Eh WCF 14 easy pass for me, hah.

@saige:

I'd hope they refund you AnimeFTW. Cause that's like robbery in most countries :|

I hear that they're a trustworthy website, even from some users here, so I hope that PowerAnime will refund me as soon as possible, especially as it affects the amount of money I'll have for college textbooks and any other purchases I'll make over the summer.

Elisabeth Heart

Nice photos everyone :D
Alina, you make me want that Styling Bonney for some pink hair goodness >o<

I was kinda glad I got that chained WCF Ace on BiJ. No stress.
But now I have to find another just to improve the paintjob @_@

Another topic.
I thought of going hunting in Paris Thursday but someone canceled an order so it might not be worth it (I have to pay for the transportation throughout Paris).
So please, before making a request, go read my sale post about my fees… Thank you.

I took just a few crappy pictures with my phone last time https://picasaweb.google.com/Heart.Elisabeth/LecheVitrine# (in the gallery, go right) and some video but I won't process them until I get my new computer.
Email me if you want something~
Note : You can see I saw a POP CB Nojiko unboxed, apparently under 30 €, I think I got a few requests for her….

Elizabeth, u think u able to hunt down a blakbeard pop for a good price there?

@1Up:

I highly doubt it'll be "good".

POP in France have European Abysse stickers (which has never been proved to be of a lower quality than Toei's btw)
They are like… 2-3 months late so I didn't see BB yet.
European prices are high. WB = 110~120€, Ace 80ish~ €.

Sorry I can't help you :[

deeerp thats because I was spelling his name wrong... nvm x.x

PrincessBuki

@geekialrage:

hmmmmm is that Sentomaru already for sale?

No I don't think, I think this is a FZ ( or GLM ?do not really know) but there's no Sentoumaru annouced yet, it was shown only the prototype (correct me if i'm wrong)

Good indications, I knew about Sino Centre and Richmond Building basement, but didn't know about CTMA Centre. It would be good to open a new thread with a first post maintaining an updated listing on good physical OP fig locations around the world. Well, at least in interesting cities like Paris and HK.
For WCF, I believe that Banpresto has just handled their official distributions in HK to Bandai HK. So now, you should find regular HK English Toei sticker instead of imported Japanese products.

By the way, Elisabeth could you give some pointers on good shops in Paris? I've just returned in France and I need to find some recent GLM. I believe most of the good shops are around la Bastille, but if you could provide actual shop names, this would be quite helpful :)

AlnaJames

I fail to see anything wrong with WCF 14 pictures. Admirals look perfect. Can't wait to get them! I hope I can snag an Ace too.@Inishi:

edit: jesus christ, just noticed Corbys fronthair. x) Wtf?

Coby's fronthair? What do you mean? Are you talking about the scar? :P

TimeSkipLuffy

I actually like Coby most from WCF 14… he doesn't have those black line wrinkles... I think I will stop collecting WCF and sell all my WCF. I could have lived with worse material and some paint errors seen recently but not those horrible black lines.... Unfortunately this was the figure series that I loed besides POP T______T

Hi I just saw youre post on anime shops in paris.

I went last october and just by where I stayed, there is a street called rue keller with a few anime shops. The best ones are manga toys, fyll of smaller figures, wcf, fc, grandline etc. Also pops the other figures.

On the next street there is a shop called tokyo capusle with a lot of dragonball gashapons and some op figures the manga.

Other great shop is konci which is a few streets across from rue keller. I pcked up the wb, dragon and garp wcf boxed for 8 euros each. They have so much to choose from, I was overwelmed because in england, there is no where near as much stuff.

other good shops are lttle toyko in st germain . Also a shop called album. There is a few on each street corner, The biggest one has wcfs, I got the cindry and hogback for 15 euros each, bit expensive but they are hard to get.

hop this helps

Very, in this case they're both deluxe POPs exceeding a certain price mark so it's a "silver" sticker in Japan with red print….AKA platinum sticker from Toei:

!

Don't worry abotu the stickers much, as long as the figure is fine you're good to go.

thanks for the info sensui! i got mine from anime king.. :D i order 2 POPs from them every week. i opened my POPs just now just to check.. and my only problem is BB can't stand without the base.. T_T well.. thats not big deal for me anyway.. haha :)) how about your BB? can it stand on his own? if yes, thats way too cool.

sensui

Hmmm, might have to ask other people for that info. I always use the oversized/clunky bases for stability myself so I'm not sure heh.

Not sure about a whole unopened box. I know alot of people used to be selling them on the marketplace but that was a while ago. Still, could be worth looking through and seeing if anyone had them and dropping them an email.

Ugh I need to stop buying stuff. I have too much. Do you guys ever feel that way? It's not just space constraints. It's all just too much. I'm starting to feel I'd rather have like 15 figures I really like than tons that I don't appreciate. Or maybe it's when I have more I appreciate them less?

Anyhow, added a bunch of manga for just a day or two to my sales post. Thought I'd offer it up before ebay. http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=32599&p=2225649&viewfull=1#post2225649

Yep, that's why I confined myself to two lines only - POPs and WCFs. I just couldn't justify buying figures from a dozen other lines all with various sizes, qualities, and consistencies. Don't get me wrong, I love OP, I just can't have shelves and shelves of random figures (especially from one off lines like DPCFs and the Snap Girls). I salute those that can manage all of those figures, for me it just seems like too much.

I only collect POPs now. In fact all my figures are POPs, with the exception of a GLM Ace v1 which was the first ever figure I bought. Don't know why I bought Ace over Luffy, I guess the Ace figure just appealed to me more. But anyway since I'm still in the midst of selling my SWs and getting the Neos, and that alot of old stuff hasn't arrived yet (like BB, Bikini Namis and Hancocks, Law and Marco etc) my shelf is pretty empty anyway.

Blacksmith

I have to thx to iomi to getting me into this line too.
I dont think they're perfect like almost everybody said, but they are still nice.

I received my ZORO DPCF thx to frozenkuku for giving me his order at Otacute. THX!!!

Anyway, paint on his nose is quite a mess.

But thx to maggie's tips, manage to fix it.
Its not 100% perfect, but it will do just fine for me.

Comparison with ZORO POP SW ver. 1
POP is like GLM next to DPCF.

I wanted Magellan and Brook too. But as with the set before. The only way to get it is a proxy in Japan it seems.
