I was actually really relieved mine wasn't a bootleg! I got it from toy_cardseller on ebay (for $61 I think? Somewhere around there) and heard later that they sometimes have bootlegs, so I was panicking a bit until it came and I could inspect it. Thankfully everything seems in order!
I got mine from him as well. It's a great figure :)
New jinbei figuarts out now, he's looking good, except for a small smudge on his nose lol
How does the final product compare to the promo pics, now that he's out?
I think good, if I had space, i would collect it, but like ppl says that figuarts bigger figures looks better I guess than smaller ones, kimono looking good, no misprints that I can see.
Wow, how did you manage to find one, Kirjava444? He's getting hard to come by! Definitely one of my fav OP figures, though.
Got my wedding boa today. paid 4000Y for her, and I'm starting to think I paid too much. Megahouse really messed up on QC for her, he's got all sorts of particles stuck to her dress. I really hate that rubbery plastic, wish they had gone with a harder one and that the dress looked better. Her face is lovely, but that's just about the only nice thing I can say about it.
I got the Jojo MSP today as well and it's head and shoulders above boa, at a scant $17USD. Very sad, Megahouse. Very sad indeed.
ive seen it on mandarake a couple of times… but for a price of 7000.

★ Stuff for Sale ★
@Elisabeth:
I went again in some figure stores in Paris today -filmed it too- and figuarts are getting an European release now.
Extremely expensive though, they are around 35 euros each -_-;
Also noticed that one shop that was selling only legit stuff got only WCF bootlegs now. Disappointing…Will go to one last shop tomorrow and then I'll have a video to show.
We found that site with a friend the other day, it seems we are getting more and more official release for bandai product, but 3 month later

Has anyone ever got the merry/merry: flying model/sunny mg model kits? if so is it already pre-painted? i really really want these but i suck terribly at painting and would ruin it if i tried (had a ds9 defiant model which can vouch for me :( )

My suggestion…....dont buy it. You need to paint all the windows, doors, deck, ropes, etc etc......
well, you pretty much still need to paint at least 80% of it. Without the paint, it will looks crappy.
About the model kits: they aren't pre-painted, but the elements are already in the good (albeit plain plastic) colors. So even if you don't paint them, the ships will still look good. Obviously, they should look quite better if you add your own paint layer to these. There are also some stickers for the complex motifs like the crew jolly roger.
Gutted, any good alternatives?
Mm I wonder what this is:
Chopper Kuji
Some half ass jinbe pic
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
yea buy it ready made for u :-p
U can buy it here in the shops where they paint an fix it for u ready.@FinalBlink:

Wow, 10 pages in and I just noticed. Did anyone mention that Donki Garp Ver.0 POP is going on sale again tomorrow (Sunday) at 3pm Japan time? Don't know when it will be released but I'm not going to be in Japan after April so I can't get it. It must be available at the usual Japanese stores.

I already forgot about garp 0, lol.

Maggie mentioned this at news thread.
I want him, but really dont know how to get it. Im sure he'll sold out in seconds. I might just wait BIJ or Mandarake.
If i dont get him….im sure i'll be fine.

There are lots of other things that u need to paint. But this will give you some idea.
Just some of the basic one. Without them, they are pretty much do not exist.
The cheap alternative is banpresto sunny and merry, they've been released in 3 or more ver. if i'm not mistaken. Around 2000yen each
The big and expensive alternative is banpresto Ichiban Kuji. 10,000-12,000 yen.
thanks for that, think ill pass as theres no way i wont mess up painting it. a shame though. thank you for posting the picture that helped a lot :)
Is it actually be possible to preorder garp 0. Will it sold out within seconds?
Let's try, I bet this is only for Japan residence.
Hopefully it pop ups everywhere online like mandarake and such, like those other exclusive ones, that bia wedding popped up everywhere and those other ones.

I consider to buy that TS too. I wanted it for a long time, but I was unsure for the same reasons as FinalBlink. Your post really helps, thanks.
Pretty much to paint after all, but I still want it. May I ask what tools you used? I have absolutely no experience nor clue what to use for paint, or where to buy those stuff. I never did such things before, but I'd rather mess up painting it, than miss out on it completely. Imo it's the best, detailed TS out there, not a fan of the Ichiban Kuji TS.
Also bought some stuff today:
GLM Vol.9
Chopper Kuji clear file, comes with 2 chopper stickers and 1 chopper pen, cute, haha
Attack motion perona special colour for alisabeth

Reicht schon, wenn du auf der englischen Manda-Seite einfach nach 'grandline' suchst. Ich würd's eBay oder der Asia version vorziehen.

Quite a good description of some stuff that needs to be painted if you want your plastic model to be more accurate to the original :).
As for my part, I didn't bother with all those paintings, partly because I'm a lazy guy, partly because the different paint color buckets and brushes can cost a bit.
The notice coming with the plamo gives some recommendations on the colors to use but not how to paint the parts besides showing a picture with the front and back of the painted prototype that's on the box. It's in Japanese anyway…
@BurglarCat: for some painting hints, you can probably go to any Games Workshop shops or other kind of specialized plastic model shops.

that's exactly what I was searching for at mandarake .. yet no results. and I'd prefer speaking english here, since it's an international forum. :ninja:
Yeah I got her alone off Mandarake, you seem to be able to find most things on there.
And yes English wins ;)
oh well :D one way or another, I'll get her .. and then .. :D lucci aaaaaaaaaand .. jyabura!! ^o^/ jyabura is a must have .. and well that lucci sure looks too cute … how could I not buy that. ^^
@Duomaxwe
how is she? :) I've already noticed GLC are bigger than MILD POPs which I find great. from pics I've seen I think GLC look better than MILD POPs but maybe that's just me. ^^
now that most of my POPs are sold I've plenty of space .. >:D enter banpresto ... hellohoo~
that's exactly what I was searching for at mandarake .. yet no results. and I'd prefer speaking english here, since it's an international forum. :ninja:
My bad.
Still no results? Now that's weird. You looked for it at this site, right? And you only put "grandline" in the search bar? If so there's no way that you wouldn't get the results you're looking for.
for help you better type one piece and or banpresto in japanese in the search bar!
even if it's the english website the names are still in japanese :)
My bad.

dear .. I do know mandarake .. I've been buying from them for some years now … ^^ and yes .. I was searching for GRANDLINE .. I also searched for ONE PIECE HANCOCK and ワンピース ハンコック .. and still no single GLC hancock. but as I said .. I'll get one one way or the other, so there's no reason to be hung up on mandarake's search engine hating on me.

You can use Tamiya paint or games workshop paint. Just pick the cheaper one. They are both really good.
yeah probably panthera. :) hopefully they'll bring me at least lucci and jyabura :D
btw .. HEY GUYS! :D how have you been?!! long time no see. ^^'' hahaha yeah .. I was, for some reason, a bit afraid that coming here to the collectibles forum might get me addicted to figures again .. XD I guess I was right .. ^^'' didn't order anything in months now and first day here … I ordered that super effect croc and probably a GLC hancock .. -_____- haa~ my bf's gonna hate you all ^^

Alternatively, you can type "ハンコック" into the Japanese Mandarake's search bar. I just did that, and I found these:
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/ja/item_s-806873.html (1500 yen)

I hope this helps! 
Also: Welcome back, TräshCät!
That's ok. You boyfriend can hate me all day XDD… I hope you had a good start into 2012! Come back more often sweetie! :)
GLC Hancock is still in stock at play-asia, just get her off there?
haaa~ I know you all wanna help, but I do know how to use a search engine .. it's just that .. as I searched for her, there either was none or the search engine failed me. soo~ that's all.
aw coopz! DANG! .. of course .. XD playasia .. why for gods sake didn't I check them .. ^^ haha
@TimeSkipLuffy
^^ I'm gonna tell him that. and when I explain to him why I'm ordering figures again after I sold like .. 50% of 'em .. I'll tell him you are my dealer. :D haha
Mandarake's search engine is a piece of shit that's why.
It doesn't even work properly when you try searching for an item in a specific store, it herp a derps none stop.
As as for kid Boa, she's nice enough like, I'm not a huge fan of the kids and stuff but I like Boa so I decided to grab her.

Mm I wonder what this is:

That's the Rumble Rumble Marine Headquarters Game (or Shake Shake, or Quake Quake, or whatever you want to translate Gura Gura to). I imagine it's a game you've got to balance pieces on while it shakes.
