lxmouth - I'm a collector, and not a modeler. At least, at the moment I am anyway.
A professional, I am definitely not one. As for that figure, I hadn't seen it come out as a PVC(?) figure, but there are so many that get released and can be hard to track, IMHO.
Sorry, but I don't shop at very many sites these days - unless you count Yahoo Japan's auctions.
A few sites that I take a look at are the "
Chara-Ani" and "
Ami-Ami" ones, but I shop for new PVC figures from Amazon Japan (with free shipping
) and resin models from different shops in Akihabara and auctions.
HLJ is, IMHO, very good for people buying from overseas, but shipping, since the boxes can be big, can cost. You might also have to worry about customs fees as well.
