I don't have a single figure that doesn't have the "Made In China" label, which is actually a good thing. If a figure doesn't have it, that's most likely a bootleg ;

Only printed items like artbooks, magazines, calendars and trading crads are manufactured in Japan

Found your post by google. And glad that I found it.

I received my latext anime figurine yesterday, so glad I nearly hugged it.
Then to my horror, saw the Made in China label. It's a relief that having Made in China label isn't so bad after all.

Glad I could help

Yeah, it's kinda depressing to buy something from Japan and for it to made in China.

Still doesn't stop me hugging and smelling my figures desu. xD

Hugging figures? That's a bit weird. Dakimakura are for hugging.

(not figures but just got my newest one today; http://asako.quietlyspoken.net/shashin/sannoms.jpg coincidentally)

Well not hugging, but well you know.

Aww I seen a lot of Dakimakura that I would love, but I can't justify the price, personally I think they cost too much, way too much and the fact for the same amount of money, you can buy a figure! Also dread to think what my family would think if I brought something that Pedobear would drool over.

That's why you buy bootlegs from China, less than half the price. . . . though really, all of the ones I have aren't even official products to bootleg, so I don't feel bad about buying them from dubious sources. Two of mine were gifts, but the site they were purchased from sells for $40, which includes delivery. The same as the site I bought my Momiji from. I think that's not too bad... though it is difficult to find worthwhile, nonero ones. Two I have are more ecchi than I'd like, but I just keep them on the A side, B side can be ignored. ^^;

http://hobbyheart.com/ is where I got my Momiji from, http://janelee922.ecrater.com/c/7662...ng-pillow-case is where Rin and Hina came from. Both do have bootlegs of official cases, but the majority is just random fan works or other art that were never actually produced anyway.

Buy a magazine then.

That's how I got most of pillows.

I don't want them to be ero, nor do I need it to be double-sided since I would still display only one of them.
The quality is outstanding, the images are just as clear as the ones on the 8-9000yen pillowcases, but you can get these for 2-3000yen which I think is more justified

[Gault]

have been getting in alot of Busou Shinki as of late

also got the COMPOSITE Ver KA Captain Haruhis Exoskeleton, only cause im a massive Mecha Musume fan and Haruhi has been kidnapped and my Busou Shinki have taken the Exoskeleton

Thanks for the links, I saved them now and seen a few that I like! Would rep you more, but it won't let me right now!

Shame all these are too sexual, would be nice to have some normal versions where I don't run the risk of being locked up. xD

So, even the bootlegs wash well?

There are nonero ones if you dig enough... though not necessarily of characters/from series you actually want (my main problem as I have specific tastes); it's easier to just settle for only displaying one side. ^^;

I have no problem washing my cases even though they're bootleg Chinese prints, just turn them inside out, put them in the washing machine and wash them on a delicate setting (since they're a satin type material) and line dry works fine for me.

Also, I like the figma version of Append more than the PVC version I've seen so far... but I dislike figmas. I hope they... append the PVC version to fix her stupid tie like it is on the figma, then I'll buy it no hesitation. I've wanted a Miku for ages and Append is the best looking, but I hate how her tie sticks out and leaves a big gap in her shirt on the normal figure.

Certainly not about Yuki, don't you think?
Thanks anyway.
I guess I'll pass on the re-release too. Maybe a more qualified company will pick up HOTD in the future and make figures of the characters.

Yes, I wish there be more HOTD figures, the current ones are not that great to me.

Getting funds together, must pre-order now!

[Zeroryoko1974]

I still want the regular pvc append Miku figure. I hope it actually does come out

[Mecha_Trueno]

Does anyone know if this has a tendency to lean or anything?


I still have it unopened. Just deciding where to display it, depending on whether it has any known leaning problems.
