RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Does anyone have the Chozokeidamashii figures? They seem to be relatively cheap so I was wondering if anyone who has them would tell me the quality of them. Am I getting my moneys worth since they're cheap, or are they good for the price. I'm attracted to these because they sell in sets such as the crew, Marines, etc.
THey are pretty small, but the details is actually not too bad for such a small and inexpensive figure. But you're right, they are great if you want just to collect the whole sets straight away. Got all the crews, marines, supernova, shichibukai.

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Thanks for your personal opinion, at the moment I don't have any special suggestions. But taking random insults serious isn't really needed (like a picture with a dead horse on it ;)).
Who's insulting? Maybe you could send pm about random insult to the one who's actually doing all the insult here.
Hope you can see who they are. If you can't, i can let you know. You seems to care alot of what ppl should or shouldn't do. ;)
To me, every mod can be different. there's no such thing about what they should or shouldn't do. Every case is different, every forum is different. Like urohige said, most ppl know about mods are wrong.Nah, that makes sense. I can look at a guy figure and think it's sexy, but I don't want to… violate, it or anything o_O
It is just plastic, after all.
i think you have to be a really hardcore fans.
And they will go for 1:1 scale dolls. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
I can see your points of view, and I try not to be to much of a pain in the back of mods, what you do is good, but I would avoid personal assault all to gether and just hit that delete button you got. Freedom of speech is great, but this is better discussed in a special place (topic) for it.
Thanks for your suggestion.
To me mods is not just about deleting posts. ;)
Again, you is you, me is me.This is collectible thread, if you want to send me a suggestion that got nothing to do about collecting,
you're more than welcome to send me pm. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
You know what, I am not a fan of BS, but I can see why people respond that way vs him.
Legato does not have a sidekick, but does have some people on the forums that think the same about it, or so it seems.Hmm, well the Jojo figurines are trying to do that. Plus, perhaps Baki is sexy enough?
http://img.amiami.jp/images/product/main/104//FIG-IPN-1290.jpg
Im not a fan of Legato or some other ppl too. But im didnt join forum to bash them up.
Maybe if i dont have a job or something.
Not a fan is not an excuse to spam a thread. Especially when it got nothing to do with collectible. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
People leave to better forums where they don't elect complete retards to be mod.
@Bullsmith, blackshit, bullshit eh blacksmith…: A dead horse would have made a better mod than you. Or a Spawn PVC...
I was never electable, even if they'd beg me I wouldn't do it, the other mods quit for a reason.Seems to becoming a mod is a really big deal for you.
Is that really piss you off that no one mention your name to be a mod?
you put my name up as a joke, and to see me actually got picked as a mod must be really hard for you.Its funny that you think you know why ppl leave, but yet, you still here.
Im thinking about joining kolektakon. What do you think? will you be the same there?
That's hilarious bro
Wow, legato got some sidekick.

Yeah, I think Takahashi drew all the new Crows volumes covers after he started Worst.
Here's the pic of Suit Harumichi:

http://i.imgur.com/zNOjE.jpgLeivthan posted a picture on MFC with this as the source link so I found it here: http://tieba.baidu.com.cn/p/618518998?pn=31
I couldn't find a bigger pic, it's suppose to be a cellphone wallpaper download. Hudson.jp doesn't have it anymore though.
[/hide]i think they will make that bouya into styling. He looks perfect for that.
I dont minf if they make it into FBG too. Love to have black suit bouya :P. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Hey guys whats happening, lots of people getting banned nowadays
Haha, cos some ppl can't accept the reality and they are just full of themself.
which its pretty sad. They can only see their ego infront of their eyes and make a fool of themself.Crows pretty popular in my country and I read them also but we dont have worst translated here…
where can i see the whole list of CrowsxWorst figure?I think we all can thanks to ninth for doing a really good job updating MFC database for Crows X Worst FBG
http://myfigurecollection.net/search.php?type_id=25894&root=-1&type_strict=1&type_p=-1–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The FBG DX Ryushin was based on Crows vol.20 cover, actually the sculptor unbelievably pulled it off. It's not easy to make a sculpture based on Takahashi's rough design of Crows. I think that's one of the reason earlier FBG doesn't stand out?
Current FBG are more badass, suit his design in Worst. I like his later design so I found recent FBG are much better than the earlier ones.
I'm still amazed how different his earlier artwork with current one. Like they are drawn by different artist. Mangaka does getting better and better in every release but Takahashi is one of the most transformed mangaka, I guess.I think the sculpture updating Takahashi's old artwork into Takahashi's new artwork for that DX.
maybe someday i'll get that dx figures. But still hoping the price will go down more once they release all the variant.and benhan, mandarake just had some FBG figures up. You might wanna take a look of them.

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1

I think Styling Ryuushin looks pretty normal, I wished they choose a different outfit though, his attire doesn't make me think TFOA, maybe it's too causal.
I'm guessing your image of Ryuushin is FBG DX version, that one is pretty ugly.
You can get the Styling figures on YJ for pretty cheap now, I think they go for 4,000~5,000Y.Gintama fans, I made a photo comparison of GEM Kamui's face with the manga.
[hide]
http://i.imgur.com/aA6KN.pngSquint eyes face is the most accurate, definitely going to display him with that face only.
[/hide]hehehe, i think the older fbg capture ryusin better than the new fbg. Especially his big nose. :P

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
I didn't even know that you could stick the insert onto the bases, I never even took them out of the boxes yet. LOL. I'll have to check them out.
They sound like they would make good risers.
That figure of the little girl looks cute with them, like a little sister tagging along.Pics of my 1/6 scaled CrowsXWorst figures. Styling
[hide]
http://i.imgur.com/6YuZyl.jpgI thought I might get the last Ryuushin to complete the set, but when I tried looking for him I found he got 5 different versions for his release, ridiculous. I think I might try to get the Black version without the bandanna.
[/hide]I also recently found a drawing Takahashi did of Harumichi in a suit. They need to make a 1/6 scale styling figure that design. I would instantly buy him.
Ugh…..im so jealous ninth. I want those takeda styling! And that black tessyo...omg. T_T
I think styling ryusin looks handsome, which is kinda weird. Cos i think he's suppose to looks ugly XD.
All characters in styling need to be good looking it seems. -

Maybe i should try to paint them too. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
My slowly growing Crows x Worst collection.
@ninth, i actually quite like the base. I know its not the best, but they are quite handy.
You can connect them together, you can put the backdrop on the base, you can use it for raiser. =P
And once you connect them together, you can stack them up too XD.

Dunno if anyone can help but does anyone know if anywhere still sells the Muppet figures for a decent price? Looking for Lew Zealand, Rowlf, Fozzie, Bunsen + Beaker and Swedish Chef but they're like £50 + £30 P+P each on ebay.
not a muppet fans at all. But i do like their figures. So much details on their sculpt.
The only guy that i know who's collecting muppet is this guy. Tho i think he collect pretty much almost EVERYTHING.
Like he's buying in bulk for every series. XDHis name is artistix, he might know where to get the one that u want. But you need to join to view his post.

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Yeah, i think that model kits once you start is very funny, but if you want perfects result you must buy a lot of things xD. If someone can do something like an army, he is my idol hahaha, i envy people with that warhammer figures, spending a lot of time painting it.
About the sunny, this is my 3º model kit, the other two are from GS Destiny (I.Freedom and Destiny). Im glad with them, im not and expert in this hobby or something like that, but like i said, once you starts, is like…"man , i must finish this to make the result" hahaha, even if you do some errors like me, its very interesting to see how the kit is building up until you finish xD. Sadly the WCF dont look really good near the ship, except nightmare luffy i think hahaah.
Now i just finish the shark, not perfect xD, but is ok, now two minis left XD.
Wish i can redo the whole thing again. There are things that i missed.
Im glad that you like it. Not many pictures of sunny or merry kit.And i think the best feeling about kit is once you finished it. =)
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
You're right, i didnt think that either O_o. Well, even with the ultra fine markers that i bought at hlj to make that parts, specially the windows are difficult to paint without errors, but with a little care you can take a good result there. If im wrong i only used the pegs on the flags, sunny eyes and the big red parts, the rest of the ship i think is 80% painted. I specially like the gold marker that i bought for the front and the base, now it looks more brilliant, if i can finish the rest of the kit today, tomorrow i'll take a pic, but i think that i'll pass on painting the crew, i think that is near impossible ¬¬, they are tooooooo small.
About the event, nothing new interesting i think. But im curious to known what's the exact size of the new 1/144 line. I hope its bigger than the logbox ones.
Recently i meet a guy who build and paint an army kit. He actually build a really large scale diorama for the tanks, cars, and houses.
He's just amazing, and how he make the grass like is just been flatten by tank is just brilliant.Anyway, he said that his magnifying glass is the best investment he ever bought in his hobby.
And dont just boy a cheap one, buy a really good one.But man…...should i spend like $150-200 for magnifying glass? And another $300 for airbrush.......T_T
And yeah, forget about painting the crews.....its just waste of time. Unless u just wanna do it for fun. make the head all black, the body all red for luffy, and blue without worrying about the details XD.

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I dont know if they are mistaken the price with one of those chopper IK or not, but damn…...
CHopper and carue Styling figure has become really expensive there.
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-535129.htmlBut anyway, that luffy strong world is still a bit too expensive even with $30 price tag.
Maybe if they make the face nicer it will sell better. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
ZABOGAR! hahaha he looks great there.
And 3A Zaku is just awesome. Hope they really expending their line.
sadly, those pvc display are a bit boring. THey didnt put much effort displaying them. -
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Those Q figure's faces are awful though, I saw them at Otacute, SUPER expensive for such a tiny figure.
I think megahouse is still releasing chibiarts, saw a bunny and tiger preorder start a couple days ago.Yeah for $70, i want more than just that.
Are they suppose to be like one of those designer toys?
i know HK got plenty of them.
ANd the price are crazy expensive for just a vinyl toys. -
RE: Post Your Rooms!
Really nice room dugong. That locke figure is indeed awesome. I think mcfarlane won for the best looks alike toy of the year with that locke.
I think all my lost figure end up inside the box somewhere. THey are really nice, but really hard to display them all together. Cos each one is so unique and got their own diorama.And im still hoping someday i can get the chance and money to buy that IK whitebeard. I really wanna display him next to IK marineford luffy.
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I just finished the painting + building of the Thousand Sunny model kit, only left miny Merry and the Shark-marine lol,maybe i'll do it tomorrow, i'll take a pic once its 100% finish. By now im glad with the result, only used a lot of gundam marks to paint it because i can afford the airbush that i wanted to do it.
p.s. the little parts are a pain in the ass, but once you start to build it. Its very funny.
cant wait to see it.
I kinda regret not to get magnifying glass when painting sunny. I think it will helps alot. -

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Some pictures of new acquisitions and old ones I didn't get a chance to shoot yet:
Griffon Enterprises Light Yagami. These pictures are almost more of a lighting/angle test, because he looks very different/gives off different feelings depending on how you view him and in what light. A really amazing, subtle sculpt. I didn't think much of him when I saw him at Sensui's place (thought his face was wrong, eyes were too big), which was just sunlit in a glass case. But once I started messing with lighting, I was blown away. Something about this figure is so fantastic, I feel like all my photos are terrible. Please try to see this guy in person.

Whereas the Light figure got his face so scarily right, Gwendolyn's eyes seemed to change from the promo pics, completely ruining her. They are too big, or the wrong shape, or something. These are the only photos that didn't make me cringe at the loss of what would otherwise have been a perfect figure.
Medicos Goku. This guy is freakin' fantastic. Feels a lot more like a sculpture than a figure. I only needed one pic to sum him up:
[hide]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZjCvTJzqYJM/T1pPZAbZNhI/AAAAAAAACN0/DxKScEFlEK8/s800/medicosgoku1.jpg[/hide]
Aaaand, because there were no photos on MFC I had to do this guy some justice. Actually released by Toynami in the USA, just walk to Toys R Us and grab him. Shockingly, pretty nice. The rest of the figures in the line pale in comparison to the extreme.

congratz on those great hauls maggie.
I really like that yagami light. I think someone here or at mfc said he can looks innocent from one side, and evil from the other angle.
I think its the best light figure/statue out there. And im sure once you get ryuk, they will looks even better.That sasuke is cool, tho his nose is a bit too big for me. I think he looks better in person.
Can't have enough of that goku. Wish i can make a custom base for him.

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
I thought so. FBG is the most popular one and especially Bouya. He's expensive everywhere, far more than any character and I think that black jacket one would be too. Would try to get one.
Would start my collection from the Suzaran High Strong Men first. I guess after Guriko, they'd make a new Hana. :)
And wonderful TFOA collection, Blacksmith. How do you get the black Takumi with glasses? I think that one is a special limited edition?
Would you get the latest History of Skull Tesshou and Shougo? I think Tesshou is pretty impressive but not so convinced with the Shougo.Here in Indonesia we have Crows manga translated and already reached volume 19. So they could be quite popular here.
Still waiting for Worst to be translated. With better artwork I think it might sell better.
And btw where did you get that Hana in black suit? I can't find that version of him.I think i wanna try to keep just 1 for every characters from TFOA. There are so many great characters. I would love to get them all. Especially EMOD team and new generation of TFOA. Not to mention manji empire.
I still dont have bouya with black shirt, still looking for that one :P. I got the chance to get it from YAJ, but was too lazy to contact proxy and missed it…....T_T.
In US, i think WORST's stuck with 3 or 4 volumes. Its not popular at all, no one really into it.
And WORST story telling is slower than CROWS. The story can go for 3-4 volumes without the main character.
So not many ppl can accept it, eventho it got a better artworks than Crows.Got black takumi from mandarake. I think he was like 1000 or 1500yen.

I want the Blue jacket Mistumasa you have, I've been waiting for him to pop upHahaha, there are lots of housen characters that i dont remember.
Yeah, that stock photo for king joe is horrible.
I like him, but somehow i dont think king joe is as detail as other new FBG.
Its like he was released in transition between old and new generation of FBG.I really hope someday, they'll release Umehoshi brothers when they were young.
The younger brother of umehoshi looks awesome when he's young.Ninth, are they always release them every month?
-
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
^ King Joe
I think it's just not as 'popular' as other series because of the genre. Most otakus don't go for the delinquent series.
Even though the Crows manga series is finished the scanlation when on hiatus for over a year and the current scanlator takes forever to get releases out.I'm going to try and get two of each character, one normal face and one comic face. I just ordered Kiyohiro FBG off Mandarake, he was there for a while, i just needed to order sometime with the Cosplay choppers to avoid the 500Y fee.
Oh yeah. I wanna order another King Joe, cos i dont like his original color.
But not him that i already got 2. Its the other leader after king joe.
Google…..its Mitsumasa! I can't help it. All his design/colors are looking amazing. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
I never felt any interest in crow worst but I can see the bad assess yakuzas having a cool appeal for the masses. On the other hand I hope yup see more gem rurouni kenshin figures
Surprisingly, none of them are yakuza. :P
@ninth, thanks!!!
And yeah, really appreciated that you keep updating mfc. I think without it, i'll get lost.
I think im quite lucky that i started collecting them really late. So now i can choose which one that i like, and just stick with it.
At the moment im trying not to get 2 for the same character, but its really hard. And so far, i failed like 5 times already :P.3 hana, 2 shougo, 2 tessyo, 2 figure of that housen leader…..always forget his name, and 3 Bouya.
@benhan,
i think crows x worst is quite well known, but not super popular. As you can see, crows x worst got pretty specific audience.
And without any girl in the manga, im sure they aren't too popular for most male otakus.
But they are really popular in Thailand and Korea. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Blacksmith, thanks for the info regarding the base position. I think it's pretty much that way. Base on the back = newer version.
The latest bald tesshou still available at AmiAmi. If I can't find the blonde one, most likely would settle with him.
For Guriko, I guess the Regulus version is the most awesome.
[hide]http://img.punk.regulus69.com/20120305_2565272.jpg[/hide]
Do regulus or dive take preorder from overseas customer?
If not, I have to find proxies to order.
And blacksmith, check your inbox. :)And looks like Ninth is the one responsible for the latest updates at MFC, good job! Unfortunately not many overseas fans have FBG I guess based on the lack of pics from fans collection. I wonder how's the popularity of this FBG line in Japan.
And what do you think of the NEXTLABEL Crows X Worst line? The 30 cm ones.
This guy has almost all of them. Pretty impressive.
http://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20120217/19/bluesky-888/a9/94/j/o0580077711800021191.jpgI really like Organic 30cm figures. Most of them are amazing. But they are too big for me. DOnt think i'll have the space. And they only make like 5 popular characters. And I dont know if they will keep making them or not. So I'll stick with DIVE FBG.
You can always use proxy's help to get regulus or dive limited.
They've been releasing lots of bouya. And almost all of them are sold out and expensive.
DOnt know when are they going to release the next batch. I still need Bouya with black jacket. :PToday i got some parcel from Mandarake,
[hide] My ARMAMENT start to shaping up. 4 out of 7 heads of armament. Still need 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
The guy who started the ARMAMENT. =)

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
How can we know which one is the new version and the old version if we seek for it at Manda, YAJ? Any reference or tips?
I'm confused with so many variants they have.Here's the comparison height between the early FBG, and the new FBG.
The difference is quite significant. But maybe you can think them as freshman and senior year….so they are growing that much in 2years :P.
but yeah, the easiest way to tell is the way they put the base inside the box.
[hide][/hide]The base position isn't always guarantee.
These two got the base behind the figure, but takeda kousei is smaller than shougo murata.
But at least the height isn't that much different like hana before. I still can display them together.
[hide][/hide]All the new release FBG should have the same height, unless its promotional figures or repainted release from the old figures.
Hope that helps. But i also just started collecting FBG. And there arent many information about FBG around the web.These little guy looks so cute.
Wonder why they suddenly making so many HxH figures.

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Managed to grab some Worst figures from Manda: Zetton, Guriko and Hana. Order Bouya too but sold out. Though I don't understand from what year the ones I ordered came from. Any help? :)

And missed this Bouya:

He's quite cheap compared to other version Bouya. Is this an old version one?
My first purchase of Crows & Worst figures should be the Suzuran legends. Still looking for Bouya. XDHow can we know which one is the new version and the old version if we seek for it at Manda, YAJ? Any reference or tips?
I'm confused with so many variants they have.
Anyway noticed Aikoudo also have Dive version of Guriko?
[hide]http://aikoudo.com/ori/30441/goods_img/goods_6890_1.jpg[/hide]
I think his face is more comical than the normal one? I have ordered the normal one at AmiAmi. Not sure about this one.
And Blacksmith, did you get the Blonde 6th Armament head Tesshou with white jacket? There are two version of him with white Jacket and both are expensive at Manda (sold out though) and I really want him. Uber cool.
[hide]
http://aikoudo.com/ori/30441/goods_img/goods_5382_1.jpg[/hide]Ok, the one that you bought are actually from early FBG.
The easiest way to tell is the way they put the stand.
If the stand is behind the figure, then 95% chance the figure is from new FBG.
But if the base position is below their feet, then its from early FBG….and they'll definitely smaller.That's what i learn from collecting FBG.
I think they are 5 design with that guriko. Some got normal face like the one at amiami.
1 with comical face, and 1 without glasses i think. But i'll definitely go with the normal one.Sadly, i dont have blonde tesshou. I really want 1. But he's really hard to find.
Most of his figures dont come with black. So I settle with bald tesshou.
Im quite happy with bald tesshou. I think he's really memorable when he first joined the armament.Im not sure about that bouya that you missed. I think he's pretty new. Cos the first generation of FBG for bouya isnt that good at all. I was going to get that bouya, but then decided to go with the one wearing blue shirt and the one with open jacket. I think they are more badass than the one that u missed.

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I dont understand why do they need to make the paint shiny?
just an excuse to re-release a limited figure. :P
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I used to want that GARP cos he got really cool face and everything.
But once i start collecting Crows x WORST, all characters got the same angry cool face.
If they ever release him normally, i'll get it. If not, im good =).Hmmm….now i wonder if they will release him with shiny paint :P.
I saw bonchan shiny at mandarake. He's really expensive.

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1

My Crows x Worst Figures

http://i.imgur.com/llxca.jpg[/hide]Yes, I used a shopping bag for the background.
Still not sure what to limit my collection to for FBG.
waw ninth, i finally see your FBG collection.
Been tempting to get them with all their casual outfit, but really need to slow down. :P–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I've got to post these. They probably just hit Manda, but Square Enix Vagabond! I wish I could get these but they are way beyond my budget limits. I thought there might be others here who might be looking for these, so I just had to post them.

http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shpimg/00/01/963/934.jpg[/hide]
I got the chance to get it at the convention. Spend like 20minutes looking at it, but then decided not to.
And i dont think i'll regret it. Its really nice and got lots of details with great paint, but not a big fan of the base.
And the statue that i saw can't be properly secure to its base.–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Thanks for the explanation ninth. Really appreciate it. :)
So basically FBG from Dive. I think I saw some of them at around 3000 JPY on AmiAmi. But only a couple of characters left. Where's the best place to get this FBG figures?You can get them from mandarake, amiami, aikoudo, YAJ, etc.
Mandarake usually got the best price for them. But unlike onepiece that show up everyday, FBG only came out like once a week. And you got to be there when that happens or it will be sold out pretty quick. Especially all the good one.But just bear in mind. FBG got 2 scales. The old FBG are smaller than the new one.
And the height is about 1inch different. The new one are taller, better paint job and sculpt.
Someone told me to see their release date if i wanna know which one are old, and which one are new.
Dont depends on MFC, cos its always 22cm there. -
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I think its really hard to make a profit with POP nowadays.
With so many ppl buying extra for resale purposes.
And not to mention re-release from megahouse.And there are massive onepiece merchandise almost every month.
It makes it even harder to find someone that's willing to pay extra for their figures. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Thats amaaazing, what scale is that?? For that price, i hope it wouldnt be a model kit xD.
I think it will be around 30-40cm height and wide. I saw somebody's holding it, and it was huge.
They already prepainted him. And 3A toys is really famous for their paint job. It will looks fantastic.

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
I was hoping it to be around $350. BUt they put $500 price tag T_T.
I'll just have to enjoy him from pictures.

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Everything are taken for consideration.
Including cost, how popular the line is, marketing, boxes, sculpture, royalty, etc.
I'm sure they will need a certain % of profit so they can pay their employee, shipping, marketing, etc.And yeah, what kind of material, what kind of paint, how complex are the paint, how long does it takes to build them, how big the figure is.
The bigger they are, the bigger container it will cost them to ship 5000pcs.Not to mention dead stock.
And to make all that worth the time and effort, they need big margins.
For that, everything counts.that's why everything made in china now. Cos they do care about production cost.
If not, everything will be made in japan or Gemany. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
More plastic + more parts= higher cost of production. More molds need to be made, more people need to put them together on an assembly line, more plastic is used. Even if that plastic is hella cheap, it still costs more if you use more. Also the kind of paint applied and how it is applied. Even the box size… if you need more plastic, little twisty ties, even more cardboard (even the printing on the box comes into the picture; larger box=more ink). It's the same with any kind of item, even books, for example. Glossy cover? More money. Embossing? Even more. Some companies will eat part of that cost if they think they can sell a higher volume, though. Also, they will use fancier/more costly stuff on the things they think will sell. This kind of thing (pricing & cost margin) isn't arbitrary, it's well thought out and meticulous. No company wants to lose money, they want to hoard it and roll around in it like Scrooge McDuck.
That's probably why characters like Sanji, Nami, Chopper SA (smaller boxes and less parts, even less paint/colors) will cost less than Zoro, Luffy. Resale prices are more about the character, though (of course).AAAAANYWAYYY, I ran into this figure on MFC from the series guilty crown, being made by good smile company:
[hide]http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/515114480.jpg[/hide]I have no idea about the series/character, but she's so pretty I'm tempted to get her… but I don't want to fall into that pit. The pit where you just buy whatever figure you think it pretty. It's dangerous, and I know it's hard to crawl out of that once you're in it.
Yeah, i saw her at mfc too. She really catch my eyes XD.
I want to find out more about her. And yeah, she's a beauty. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Are you a complete moron or are you just messing with me?
These things cost like 5-10$ to produce, production cost has nothing to do with anything, why do you think they make them in China?
People are willing to lay down more $$s for Whitebeard than a Chopper figure. I'm not saying production value on both is the same, but I am saying that these costs are irrelevant to your little story.Why do you think VIsta is more expensive than nami?
DO you think ppl will pay more for VIsta than nami? pffff. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
^ Yes Toheart2.
Is Nana the company I'm not sure? lol
her pose kinda reminds me to nana.
Nana is character from nana to kaoru.

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Lol, thats just fucking stupid….
Look at prices for bootleg figures, the good looking ones, not the ones that look like crap.
20 usd shipped for SA Zoro or some shit, its not about production costs its all about copyrighting and marketing, deh.so you think chopper POP should have the same price with Whitebeard POP? lol.
THey are both legit, from megahouse, and same license…...why their price are different?
is that a scam? production cost shouldn't matter at all!.........lol.
do you think POP should have the same price with OP straps? its the same onepiece license! lol.I never said other things like sculptor, marketing, etc didn't matter.
But not counting production cost as consideration of a price is just plain stupid.--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Got her today, and a couple of new WFC:

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Shame they couldn't have done an alt. head for the POP Zoro with bandanna. That FAZ makes me wish they did :(
yep, it should be easy for them. Or maybe they're planning for open shirt zoro with bandana :P
-
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
It was never about production costs to begin with, Bullsmith =')
are you ever going to sell figure lower than production cost Lupid?? pffff.
Most company will take % increase of the production cost.
Only stupid company that will spend $1,000,000 for production cost, and only take $5 profit.
Or spending $2 for production cost, and asking $1000,000 for profit.Maybe u can start building company that didnt take production cost as a consideration.
"Hei, item A cost $2, and item B cost $1000. Lets both take the same profit."
-
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
What, so just because they have less clothing on, they cost more? Ugh… now even fanservice is costly...
I think nowadays, its not about production cost anymore.
Its all about how much profit they can make.
They like less clothing thingy cos its cheap in production, but they are in high demands.I remembered back then where no pvc got removeable clothes, until megahouse released KOYORI.
Her price went triple in the first week and sold out everywhere…....and since then, pvc is never be the same.
Most company will want to make their figures got removeable clothes. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
