Well, that Wave Saber 4 figure set finally came in



...if anyone thought the Saber Lily box was big....
Really, there was the HLJ shippingcarton around the Wave mastercarton which contained 2 boxes containing the jewel case and the figures
This has got to be the biggest box I ever received for a figure
LxWxH is 42x60x42cm
agreed, they are 4 figures, but even 4 1/48 Macross Valkyries didn't take as much space


They could have saved 50% by incorporating trays inside the jewel case
(when repackaging them I used clear wrap to hold the figures into place in the display before putting the cover over them)
In this day and age with the huge shipping costs, one would think they adapt their packaging to keep the cost for the customer lower



But it is a very nice set, a nice surprice was the addition of a set of animation cells from each of the figures (ofcourse there never were actual animation cells of them with the change to computer animation)

Saber Alter's pillow seemingly can't be removed, which is OK since I have a "No Nudity" policy concerning my figures anyway
Carefull investigations have proven her to be anatomically correct though

Does anyone know who produce the best C.C figure? Yes, I mean C.C from Code Geass.

Quality wise, the Alpha x Omega version is the best.

The top figure makers did not pick up the series, so there are only prize figures around of C.C.
I own four of those, from that I can recommend the Bride version and the Yukata version as the best ones. Other Banpresto releases are fine too ver1, ver2

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in some of the figures I'm selling?

I know I'm just kinda just plopping this here, but I suppose I'm desperate haha.
There's more of my collection that I'll be selling soon probably so yessss.

IIRC, the pre-owned price of this figure is pretty high at the moment.

Meanwhile I'm waiting Takane and Tsugumi to reach my home. Once Makoto (Im@s) is release, I think I'll quit collecting figurine for a time...

[AZY]

I want to resell 2 of my figures. Eren Jeager figma and Miku Deep Sea Girl ver. Figma.

Figure collectors, just want to ask. Do you buy figures because you are fan of the characters or have there been time you buy a figure even though you are not a fan of the characters but just because the figure looks cool or has good design so you decided to buy it?

Most of the time, we buy figures because we're fans of the show and the characters. However, if we see a figure that appeals to us, we don't have to be a fan of the show or the character. For example, I have a One Piece figure solely because she appealed to me as figure, not because I'm a fan of One Piece.

[aohige]

I do both. I do buy mostly figures of characters I like, but I also have quite a few figures from works I have no interest of, simply because the figures look gorgeous.

A shelf full of Queens Blade figures in their black bondage versions for example.
Or Gift's realistic Saber and Saber Lily despite not caring about fate franchise.
And both 2013 and 2014 sets of Racing Miku figma, both together with their respective motorcycles, despite not being an avoid vocaloid fan.

i just found this figure on e2046. anyone bought from them?

[Azuma Denton]

E2046 mostly deal with resin. So you must ask before buying if the figure is pre painted or not...

[Archaeon]

What about characters that you like, but their character design is not that good, will you still buy their figures?

Given how expensive figurines are, I'm unlikely to buy an ugly figurine of my favourite character. To me, figurines are meant to serve as reminders of why I love a character/series so much, and I'm not really going to get that effect from an ugly figurine.

I only have one exception, and it was a really cheap prize figurine of Kikyou (from Inuyasha) which I bought at a local anime convention: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/57389

I later bought another Kikyou figurine which looks much nicer: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/19443

I'm pretty new to this and I got directed here from another forum, but where's the best place to sell scale figures?? I'm trying to make room for stuff I want instead of just cute stuff ^-^
