Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Cuteness overload!!
Gurren Lagann Nia Maid figure, from Sega. I need Yoko now. Manda kept teasing me with these individually, I tried to order Yoko twice and Nia once before I finally got this Nia. She is insanely cute and if your a perv she has epic upskirt.

wow he does look great! I feel that somehow he looks much better at some angles than others (his smile & nose)? I hope all those paint errors won't be on the final product 
Ohhh Kongiku… I just can't get past those boobs.
Worth a shot, I've asked before but…
Anyone know where to get the pdfs of the magazines the companies distribute, listing all prize releases?
I used to be able to find them all the time but now can't find them anywhere! Anime Export used to have them.

Thanks Tolowa! He is looking great! I bet the painting errors are just because its an early prototype since he's to be released in March 2013. Gotta order 2 of those from 1Up 
Does anyone happen to know a proxy or somebody in HK/China who could help me to order a thing from Taobao? It's not even a collectible (it's a dress ^^;), but I thought I'd ask here.
Thanks in advance!
Alina, I'm currently in talks with some of them due to the group buy I'm organizing regarding the POP accessories on the split orders section. The best ones seem to be yoybuy, budybuy and prunai.
Haha I got these 2 figures from amiami in what must have been the ultimate test of my adolescent innocence. Naturally, that has faded away into dust.
3rd and 2nd last figures for 2012. The last will (hopefully) be milla from tales of xillia, I can't stand how they keep delaying the figure.

if i were you i would wait, she looks nice indeed, not interest to get her though, i'm more into shining series girls recently.
She is from Shining Blade, she looks cute and well done, i've put one aside on hlj and wait to see how thing goes i might wait to get her on sale 
Oh yes Benhan!
Ordered Katanako a while back at BiJ and gonna preoerder Hacker too when she goes up tomorrow. I just LOVE the sculpt and design so much.
Oh and .. GET THAT MENMA!!!
Haha glad to know our taste is more/less similar. 
Menma menma, why are u so cute?
Watching the anime made it harder to resist getting her. Saw her at Manda and YAJ cheaper than AmiAmi. I think I'll get her.

Wow nice website and nice preview. This MSP is a must have. Especially for its prize.
Ichiban Kuji Tales series. Height is 18-19 cm. Not bad but hopefully not overpriced.
Of course it's not at the same level as ALTER's but would be nice if I can get Yuri around 2000-3000 JPY.
Hey guys quick question i ordered something at manda & chose small packet. What happen in the event the box does not fit small packet requirement will they automatically change to EMS or cancel.
I think they will usually auto-change it to EMS, but you can ask to cancel after if you're not ok with it, they usually understand.
Once they changed it to SAL Parcel instead of EMS but I asked them if I could use EMS and they sent another invoice for EMS

I assume you mean the one that came out in Novemeber. (prize site)
I think they put out too many sets of the same characters since there is a set on Manda for 3000 yen. It could just be that the popularity has died down. Here's a couple of pics from a prize center site.

I don't know who she is, but she looks nice for a prize figure.
I don't know what the complaint is on GLM Franky, but he looks awesome here.
very cute K on, but I'm waiting on the new ones from Sega.
Code Geass
Sculptures:
Halloween Chopper for Cyber. There are a few more pics that I was too lazy to upload on the link below.
Cool Katana umbrella.
I am totally puzzled with this? ??????? They look like they are a foot long. Who wants to carry a foot long fish for a key chain? I don't get it.

I don't really know what to say about that Waver Velvet figure but… the rider is a really cute and interesting addition! HAHA 
That Waver looks boring as hell but goddamnit that altface XD …. it's .. it's too cute! XD How am I supposed to resist that altface?!!! Damn you Alter!!! Raven is nice too but I'll probably not preorder any of them. Guess I'll wait for them to pop up at Manda.
I got some new figures btw .. Alter's Ayanami Rei and Shizou, Max Factory's Azusa, Koto's Anjou aaaaand ____ Yamato's Mari. I guess my favourite would be Mari. I just love Yamato. The sculpt and design is pretty simple but she does have loads of sex appeal. It's not the in-your-face kind of sex appeal, it's more subtle but this is exactly the reason why she came out so stunning. :3 Furthermore she is huge!

was looking forward utapri figures!
i'm glad Alter are coming back after what i've heard from some people they are really showing they aren't dead
it's a special girl event so no girls figure, i would have loved to see Mistral nereis with a release date !
This is one of Alter's masterpiece. Nobody should miss this in their collection!

True but most have her who want to have her.

I really do not get why people like that figure so much. You're not the only one I've heard saying that, my friends say that as well, but I.. dunno, just find it normal? Well, normal Alter quality anyway, which actually means a fantastic spot-on sculpt that I will admire from distance.
ahaha keithgator. I bought her because I love games by Atlas, Muramasa included. She is a nice figure, but I do find it funny that everyone and their brother loves her so much. Maybe it's that sexy pretty but not overly overstated ninja appeal? XD I peronally don't find her any better than Yamato's Velvet from Odin Sphere.
I think Momohime is a very nice figure but I don't get why people claim she's a masterpiece either. ^^'' Sure she's gorgeous and her quality is top notch as well, no denying that but I dunno if she's THAT great. I'll wait and see. Right now I still have her on preorder so I can only judge her by photos. The only figure I have which I'd ever dare to call a masterpiece is Aegis. I bet everyone already knows that. haha ^^ But that probably also has something to do with the fact that I absolutely love her as a character. :3

Special Girl event eh?.. I really find it hard to belive that majority of girls actually like designs like that lol… U_U;
I thought I'd post these links from the shows. I haven't been on the forum much, so please ignore these if they have been posted. I just stumbled on these to catch up with what I've missed.
This one is from November 6th: http://akibahobby.net/2012/11/miyazawa2012f_photo4.html
And from November 17th, today: http://akibahobby.net/2012/11/tamashii_nation_2012_girls.html
thanks snow!
This has REALLY been bothering me about these shows. Where do I get all this prop stuff??
…and LOL!
No thanks needed. Glad to be of help.
And, I know what you mean. I love that ticket gate and row of chairs. It sets the mood so well.
wait… there's a sign in front. Maybe they are making them available for sale.

Yes yes Aegis is a masterpiece as well! Have her in my collection, not to be miss! Love her eyes, the pose. I'm especially fond of girl figures in samurai/kimono/swords like Ryougi Shiki, Hyakka Ryouran. Very beautiful. Of course thats just me. Everyone has different taste and their preference.

i think the same, i don't find her especially awesome, she is not the type of figure i can fall for lol
but she is nicely done so it's a good thing!
as for me i fell in love with shining series and so i wanna get those pretty girls and add them to my collection xD
i sacrificed utapri nendo petit for that Rona who looks gorgeously cute x3
and that sakuya crimson mode is utterly sexy and awesome !
planning to get kaguya,melty,yukihime and so on~~
Yea I love that rona, but she was too expensive for me. I know I definitely paid less for the xiaomei one, and they're like, in very very similar poses and same scale so, I don't get why there was such a big difference in price.
Kaguya aint looking too great though, although I wouldn't call the figure shabby either. She's the only one I've opened so far, Melty and Maxima are still in their boxes, will probably sell them in the near future to make space. Ironically, they're supposedly of higher quality than Kaguya. I really wonder what came over me then when I decided to open Kaguya first… must be because I was still working on the game at the time and had only gotten so far...
On the other hand, the anime was one of the shittiest and most pointless I've ever had the misfortune to see. Even WindXTears wasn't as bad, although I didn't find that nice either.

Rona looks bigger than Xiao mei, she is 1/6 both and yet Rona looks definitely bigger here
so i was wondering if Rona might be EMS only i hope not, i'm waiting for NY to put her on sale again.
The anime wasn't that bad, but in term of enjoyment i think the game is better, i liked shining hearts because the animation wasn't bad, the seiyuu cast was really nice and i don't have regret, but there is still something missing though…
I founds Melty on mandarake for a great price, when i have the fund i might get her, more looking forward Mistral nereis and Melty Alter version because of the pose and quality!
Kaguya looks nice, i wonder why i want her still, and well it's on hold because she is quite expensive for the moment.
Hijikata and Kagura DXF review of sample figures. These have not been colored on MFC. http://masterfileblog.jp/review/2012/11/15/2368.html

I like the eyes and the shoulders on hijikata. I wish they would make an MSP for him too.
I think her eyes are a tad big, but I'll still get her. Maybe I can find an umbrella for her.
[/hide]
As for Momohime by Alter, I think the figure speaks for itself. It's sculpture is fluid and artful. I've been tempted many times to get her, but I seriously do not like the game. I am just not into 2D platform games. I think if she was not attached as a character to the game, she would be in my collection. (Strange, I know)

That Kagura is gonna be "easy" to customize with an umbrella. Drill a small vertical hole in the left hand. Find or make a scale red umbrella and "great success"!

deleted comment
I just reread my comment, and it just didn't sound right.
Anyhow, Kagura just doesn't look right without her umbrella.
Hm so how long does it take for HLJ to process in-stock items to get them shipped? They're taking a little longer than what I'd expect from a major company in this line of work.
This Venom Statue from Kotobukiya is awesome. Expensive though.

Cheaper but great alternative:
Marvel Select Vernom
Perhaps the best Venom action figure ever.
It's a nice Saber Nero figure, I have her.
Got Alvis and Lavie yesterday. They are perfect. Really. No flaws at all. And of course they look very cute. I also managed to get Ayanami Rei by Alter from Manda too. Haaa~~~ But there's still more, hihi I got Shizuo and Kotobukiyas Anjou from AnoHana. Shizuo is really nice .. can't wait for Izaya though. ^^
Speaking of those too .. I recently started reading the Durarara light novel BUT had to realize that there's no translation of volume 7 and 8. T_T At least I couldn't find any. Does anyone know where to find an english translation of those two volumes? I don't wanna skip them and jump right onto volume 9 which was already translated. … Don't wanna miss all the fun! XD
Oh btw I know I did say that I don't want to buy anything from Megahouse anymore but why for gods sake do they have to tempt me with THIS? I mean .. what are they thinking?!! XD

Lancer looks awesome, i am looking forward to PO him, he will be popular for sure, that's Lancer for you :9
That Lancer looks very nice! I'm almost tempted.
Oh Wow Lancer looks splendid! Going to get him for sure!
Well he does look great and all, although my first impression after looking at the poster wasn't of Lancer from Fate Zero, but Jake Sully from Avatar. I have no idea why.
