^ woah, great haul, benhan! 10 volumes of artbooks, that is amazing!
Elisabeth Heart, one of these days I'm going to poke you good for always posting such cute CF pictures! I really need to exercise that rule to only buy from series I follow. >_<;; Let me know if you have any doubles anyhow ehehe
edit:
I. Am. SO. HAPPY.
Haven't been home for a little while and upon returning I had 2 Eijis waiting for me! The RAH is soooo much fun!! The quality is superb, it's my first RAH. These two are so hilarious together!

The artbooks are really thin, maggie. Only around 36-40 pages each volume and they're really cheap. Bought them at Mandarake for 200 yen each. A good bargain. :)
For Alter figure, I wonder when they'll put Momohime for re-release. It should be this year, right?
@1Up:
New master star jojo out in september, looking good, I'm sure maggie be happy about this:

Nice, and speaking of jojo it looks like master stars Jotaro is in stock at angolz right now. Im not sure if this one was as hard to get as the other master stars figures, but i figured those who might have missed out before might wanna pick it up now.

She's supposed to re-release at the end of this year, around November- December I think

Yeah, I wonder when they'll put the pre-order up. It should be this month or next month for item released this year.
Definitely will her.
Btw I received notification of another ALTER Tales figure: Tales of Xillia - Jude Mathis from MFC but the item was deleted this morning.
Hopefully they will, so I can add another Tales ALTAIR figure to my collection. There's something special about ALTER male figures. I don't care if I haven't played the game yet. They would look nice at display and certainly would attract the visitors to ask from what game/anime he came from. :)
Btw I noticed you got Pichi Pichi Gal Android No.18. How good is she? I just got one from Mandarake for 4000. Wonder if she's worth it for that price. But I couldn't resist her stare.

Ikuji Kyun Nisemonogatari (Bakemonogatari sequel):
So cute. Might get them, I don't like the main prize. Well maybe except Sengoku.
The glass set is cool…
I wonder if they can ship it fine without breaking any piece via SAL Small Packet.

Mhm I agree I'm going to be investing in some GSC and alter figures soon enough…
Pichi 18 is amazing. One of the gems of my db collection. They way she is made though, she sort of naturally leans forward which looks a bit awkward:
Other than that she's excellent. She looks great next to the other SCultures
Yeah I wonder why they made him lean forward like that. I hope if they're going to make another DB figure tournament, someone will sculpt No.17 and 18.
Now I have to get No.16 to accompany her. :)

It's just the way she's made, they sculpted the waistline leaning forward so her whole top half leans like that. I think they wanted to do something along the lines of her back arching backwards a bit but got the opposite effect, lol
How much was your 18?
You get her from Mandarake?

4000 Yen from Mandarake. But no order confirmation until now. I'm still patiently waiting.
New pics of Crows x Worst Figure: Flashback Generation Tesshou Kawachi Dive version:

One of the FBG best sculpts!
[/hide]
With his regular version:
[hide]
[/hide]
Dive release around 4 to 5 versions of each FBG. And for favorite FBG, usually they will release special edition too, collaborating with Crows x Worst merchandisers.
If you think Megahouse were trying to milk the customer too much by exploiting one character, definitely you haven't known Dive. :p
But they are worth it, since each figure is quite cheap. For a 1/8 scaled figure, the price tag is only 3990 JPY.
Two of my favorite characters from The Front of Armament (bike gang in Crows x Worst universe, the coolest family in Japan!), 6th Head and 5th Head of TFOA.

Anyone know where I can download visual novels online? I'm currently looking for se きらら (se kirara) and 穢翼のユースティア (Aiyoku no Eustia), anyone got any links?
You should find it if you google it like, maybe nyantorrents.

Tried that, nothing. Even the main website has removed the download for the first one. Gahh just when I decide to start on visual novels, this shit happens. Do people normally pay for visual novels to begin with?
I've only read Fate/Stay Night.
So lol no.

Hisoka looks SO MUCH BETTER than killua in my opinion! q (more pics on MFC)

Gundam WCF. Seems they are starting with Gundam Seed. Anyone interested?
Are there any decent Fairy Tail figures either available or in the works? I'd love something like the Half Age characters.

That Vash looks pretty nifty too.

Not great looking for the price tbh… also I'd be more into smaller figures. Surprised there's been no decent trading figures even. Just those little keychains.

There's literally no merchandise out for them which is weird, the manga is pretty far along and it has an anime too. I've seen series with like 10 manga chapters and 6 or 7 episodes out and they already have a flood of figures.
Any word on a release date for the Naruto WCF and Gundam WCF? And yea it sucks that fairy tail has no merch except stickers and key chains that would be a perfect series to put into WCF a big cast of characters or even a figuarts line only time will tell
Screw Figuarts Zero. A 1/8 line, WCF, Kuji, or even a line similar to GLM/GLC, I agree with you it could totally be done, and it should have been done already.
No release dates on those yet, but I imagine if we're seeing finished and coloured protoypes the Naru ones will be dropping in 3-5 months, the gundam ones will be a little longer since they're still in the announcement satge…
I seen someone post in the other thread Rider and Archer from Fate/Zero are getting their own figures made, but it was in a strictly no photos section which is annoying.
That's grate news in general though, I hope they're awesome figures, I've always wanted a nice golden Gilgamesh figure.
Can't wait too. But Waver Velvet… err I'm not sure what to think about that one. The servants are a definite must get (due to epic epic-ness) but masters, not so much, especially a not-so-important one. I wouldn't have minded Iri, Kiritsugu, or even Tokiomi/Kotomine, but Waver... nope, not really.
Yeah I didn't even mention Waver because I don't care about him lol, I can't imagine I'll get the figure, it would need to be impressive somehow for me to do it.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Kotomine would be good, the rest of the masters not so much, Kiritisuga too but I think he already has an old figure.

I would murder for a Kotomine figma just so I could have him in stupid poses on my desk.

Yeah. Here's the only photo we can get from Megahouse section:
They said there was a Rider prototype displayed but no pic allowed and announcement of Gilgamesh being the next.

Waver Velvet would be released under ALTAIR line.
Since ALTAIR basically is a line of male figures intended for girl collectors, I think they'll make Waver pretty enough for them.
ALTAIR is never about male with muscle so unfortunately the big muscle male character have to go to Megahouse to sculpt. Hopefully they'll choose dynamic poses for them.
However, at least we can be happy that these two big figure manufacturers decided to release scaled Fate/Zero figures after GSC with Saber.
So three top figure companies (well Megahouse might be in top 5) all making Fate/Zero figures. Nice competition there.
The question would be: do ALTER and Megahouse collaborate in some way? It might be Megahouse taking the servants and ALTER with the masters.
The way I see it:
Megahouse: male with muscle figures. Rider, Gilgamesh. For the next they have plenty to choose: Berserker, Lancer.
ALTER, ALTAIR line: pretty boy. Waver, and next: Kotomine?
GSC: girls. Saber and next: Irisviel?
Male figures intended for girls collectors eh… now I'd like to see how his sculpt will turn out. Should be interesting to watch.
My, my~ what a nice expo.
ALTAIR seems to jump in the Utapri wave with Ittoki Otoya as their first.
! Otome games are really something big now~
My selection ?
!
Preordered already but I really can't wait~
Same for Celty.
!
!
!
Those are just so adorable. I can't resist any of the Chara Lands (of Chara Fortunes actually…)
A-do-ra-ble…
Still don't know about this. But this is actually one good looking GEM.
Some say they always get discounts later so I might just wait.
Guilty pleasure~ ( ≖‿≖)
I haven't watched utapri, which is good, I don't really want to end up chasing another line.
I love Protagonist! such a nice looking figure, really depends on the painted face though!
Yeah man I seen those Fate pictures, but they are literally nothing lol
MSP Tiger & Bunny Kotetsu.
Seems he can rival the GEM version for one-third the price tag.
I wonder who's the sculptor of this MSP.
Except the GEM one u can change the head in 3 different ones :-0
And a better paintjob probally.

also i'm excited to see that they will release utapri as well, i'm looking forward mostly Tokiya because he is my favorite!
as an otome game fan and player i'll be looking forward more stuff ヾ(;☆ω☆)ノ
i was sad to see that they didn't colored Rin of AoEx such a waste! i really hope they'll do a suguro Ryuji too!

Ah yes, ALTAIR should release LANCER instead of Waver.
A charming Lancer is in line with the Altair series. I can imagine they do a Lancer in Tales of Abyss Luke style but with two spears. The ladies will scream over this figure. :p

They're just what I want : )
just got my x-23 __ seriously she's amazing .. all of those bishoujos are … I'm a bit surprised by my reaction since I never .. never admired a one piece figure like this ... O__O I seriously wish POPs would be this gorgeous ...

There's a saying: "open your eyes and see the world as new…" :p
Once we have seen in person "excellent" figures made by GSC, Alter and in your case Kotobukiya, it's hard to look back at POP and share the same feeling...
The problem is after this, you'll keep complaining about every POP to be released by Megahouse... Believe me. :p
oh benhan that doesn't sound good. ^^ I mean, I already complain about POPs a lot but mostly coz of oversized boobs/removable clothes and static poses. but this .. I mean this is all about sculpt and details. x-23s proportions just feel right and good god I've never thought the back of a girl could be this appealing and sexy. I'm not talking about her butt (don't get me started on that) but about muscles and you know … skin folds. XD they sculpt thighs holy molly .. megahouse could never make thighs look so sexy. never. O_O all they do is concentrate on boobs. and to be honest, I'm kinda tired of their female POPs. god .. sorry for the rant guys. XD
I can only imagine this will get worse, coz my asuka from alter is already on the way. XD and I know she's going to be gorgeous.

Hehe you're right.
I think being given One Piece license (and monopoly right over 1/8 scale figure) made Megahouse sculptor lazy.
The anatomy of most females is not correct (have been analyzed by some female collectors here) and they're too lazy to fix it. The prototype has been displayed for months and people commented on it, but yet the final product look exactly the same. The same with some male figures. The legs of POP Luffy SA came in mind.
Not only Megahouse, Plex also got this disease for their DPCF line. I think Vivi is really disappointing. The figure would look nice only from one angle while ALTER and GSC figure will look great from any angle.
Btw, now I'm thinking over getting Koto Bishoujo. The price is great for that kind of quality. :p
Too bad I missed this Catwoman
Don't know if she's available anywhere.
And for ALTAIR fans, the new pre-order:
Accelerator from "Toaru Majutsu no Index".
The face… As great as ever.
Nice but I don't follow the series.
rant
Ah~ I'm with Benhan on that. It's really hard to come back from High quality products like ALTER's to POP and such. I am amazed every time my eyes fall on my Aegis, and Mercedes is a delight to look at. My growing Tales of collection keeps me happy and I move them a little every week to see a new angle. Izaya is so truly Izaya I am expecting him to move or talk everytime I take a look at him. Oh and my Flynn plush by Alter as well is like the bestest plush ever, cool and so cute.
I can't say the same for many One Piece collectibles… Sadly.
Of course I adore the Chara lines by MegaHouse, but as for the rest…
Alter makes me happy with each of their releases. Even…@benhan:

Well said Elisabeth. Sum up my feeling too.
Now I also have Crows x Worst FBG figures in my collection and they're growing rapidly (too fast I guess, my wallet is dry now :D).
Like you, I also move them from their display position almost every day. Taking picture from different angles… Hold them to look the detail of the face, admiring the sculptor work...
While my POPs are kept in the box...
I only have two ALTER figures so far (Aegis and Luke) and three GSC figures (from Fate/Stay series). I know if I badly need money or space in the future and have to sell my figures, those five would be the ones I keep.
Now you might have sold me the Kotobukiya Bishoujo figures too, TrashCat. :)
Damn, I need that Catwoman! Her price has rocketed high on e-bay.
