MONSIEUR BOME figures
Does anyone here know anything about the US release of the MONSIEUR BOME anime figure collection? I'm sure some of you have seen them popping up in Suncoast and comic book stores or other places... What I'm wanting to know is, are they going to release the whole collection in the states? I've had my sights set on the Chidori/Tessa (Full Metal Panic!) set for quite some time and it's quite hard to find a place that actually has it in stock for under $70. Anyone know who is distributing it here, or have ANY info that would be helpful?

I guess, what I'm trying to say is your best bet would have to be eBay, since most of the private sellers are actually eBay sellers. For, US releases anyways Although, maybe Suncoast has an ordering service? |

This would probably go better in the figurine thread...but...
It depends on the type of figurine, the quality, and actually what show the character belongs to. I've seen 1/8th scale resins range quite wildly from one another, I've actually seen one for as little as $10 new painted all the way up to $400.

I am looking over ebay on some of the prices for Figurines and I notice that Figurine form Bome generally cost less then form other companies. Anyone know what the reason is for that?

If this came up before I apologize but i am too lazy to look through all the pages. I basically have 2 questions.
1. Which company usually produce the better products in terms of quality. I see a lot of Alter products are they the best ones? What are your experience with products form other companies? 2. What i a good place to buy Figurines in the US? I found several shops through AOD but thier selection is limited althought Right Stuff usually have the most in terms of selection but not price.

Let's see... The GoodSmile Fate I have is good quality, although someone else and I both noticed a small flaw on her cape, like a small scratch that needs coloring, but it's really minor, and I'm pleased with the overall composition and paint quality.
The Toys Playing first edition Housen Elis I have... Well.. There seems to be something wrong with the way her legs are made regarding the base. I don't know if it's just me, but if you put try to put the base as it should, she's leaning in a very unnatural position. After tweaking here and there I managed to solve it and she stands upright because her feet more standing on the stand receptions than locked on them. And they could have done better with the hair composition, but other than that, her likeness and the rest of the figure was good. But yeah, I'd think twice before getting from TP again. My Maxfactory Kotori and Aisia from Da Capo are extra cute, no problems anywhere, flawless design and the likeness is very good (and I value resemblance to the actual character quite a bit). So far, I think MaxFactory has the best record for me, but that doesn't stop me. I don't buy anything without seeing a pic first, and if the pic is non-existent, blurry or I don't like the product for whatever reason, I don't buy it. GoodSmile's Fate is however of very good design, even with that half centimeter long scratch, which can be painted (but I'm too bored since a. I don't look at the back of her cape and b. the cape and be taken of, so it's really minor). At least, Hobbylink has a disclaimer for that, so there's always the small risk of having to perfect a figure when it arrives. My Goodsmile Nanoha, Alter Karen (F/HA), TRA Komaki Manaka (To Heart 2), Solid Theater Haruhi (Happiness) and a Bandai Asuka (NGE) figure are underway, so I can't comment on those. And my GoodSmile Shinku and Kotobukiya Louise (ZnT) will hopefully have arrived by spring. (Yes, that was my Christmas shopping, better late than never ) I buy most of my stuff from Hobbylink Japan (www.hlj.com), although I got my Aisia figure and some cds from CDjapan (www.cdjapan.co.jp). But then, I'm not from the US The worst thing is EMS cost of course... Damn

Or you can take into account the sculptor who makes the model of the figure; for example, the sculptor of both the GoodSmile Fate and Nanoha is Kawasaki Kazushi, and the MaxFactory Kotori and Aisia is Kuroda Masanori. If the same sculptor makes the models, you could expect the same quality.
