Damn, that cute family snapshot just sold me on nendos (assuming money, etc). Great shot!
I love figures but they're just too damned expensive and difficult to obtain these days, maybe I'll start a nendo collection instead

Not if you scalp them from Mandarake. 1500-2500 each, and SAL shipping is like 700-900ish. It's not hard to find them unopened boxes at those prices, either. They say "box damage" quite often, but I've yet to see a single box with any discernible mark, dent or tear.

The real problem with Nendo is that GSC pretty much realize how many potential customers they can make with these, so they make a lot of them. The direct result is that you might go bankrupt if there are nendo of various series you like, even more so if these are exclusive, which lead to complicated stunts to get them.
Whereas Scale figures can be a deterrent due to many reasons (unit price, size, generally 1 pose), if you aren't really cautious, you might have a nendo collection going out of hand...

Yes, try not to collect Nendo just to complete the collection, if you really want, just get those characters you really like.
I have nearly 100 Nendoroids, but I've stopped my entire collection since a while ago.

But I wish the nendos weren't so damned CUTE! God, that group photo was to die for I guess if I had to "go nendo" I'd probably try for a set of Carnival Phantasm characters since its humor lends itself well to tiny figures. Someday... EDIT: OMG... no... there're too many hot figures I'd be needing to spend any $$ on instead :-P

And she's home.
My main heroine, the prized blue sapphire of my collection arrived today! Pardon the rather grainy photos: Her hair really is darker than the prototype as others on MFC have mentioned, but this will not affect my appreciation in any way. I got her today on the very day of her seiyuu's birthday, and I shall be opening her box 3 days later, in time for my own birthday.

I like Pentax for many reasons. It was a concious choice to take the K-r over the Canon 550D or Nikon 3100 (the big two entry level SLRs at the time of my purchase). Sixty years worth of lenses available, and just better ergonomics, felt a lot better in my hands (plus was a little cheaper).
It is an SLR camera, which is clearly a step above phones or pocket cameras, yes. But with the prices DSLRs are falling to these days, there's no reason people shouldn't get one if they want to take better photos. I reached the limits that my compact P&S was capable of, and wanted something more flexible. For only a little more money than high end P&S, I could get an SLR, which then gave me the ability to swap lenses for different shooting conditions, so I went that route. Now my K-r is EoL (no longer being manufactured; new upgraded model due soon) big stores are clearing their stocks, eg; http://www.walmart.com/ip/Your-Choic...ndingMethod=rr Great value for a "real" camera system. And as I said, many hundreds of lenses spanning some sixty years available for it. The second hand market is strong, so it's easy to find well loved old lenses at bargain prices. Anyway, a bit off topic. But I did get my camera primarily for shooting figures. Though I get pictures of my animals, and have dabbled with macro, now experimenting with astrophotography. But still mostly figure shooting. |
