But ain't that a Nendoroid? I'm guessing you saw the article at SankakuComplex?

I got a question for you guys with figure painting experience. I want to mod my figma by clearcoating the eyes with gloss paint to make them look more like glass eyes. Is this a good idea? And what sort of paint should I use so as to not mess up the existing paint underneath?

Thanks for the link, Revan, not anything I'm interested in though sadly.

Yeah, these are mostly old stuff that has been on sale for months now.

I'm thinking of picking up the Megahouse Mayoi Neko pair, it's rare to get quality figures for such a good price.
And that 1/6 Ignis is tempting too

I got Nozomi during the last sale, now she's nearly half the price she was then. ;.; Kinda makes me sad, but I'm still happy having only paid $42 shipped for her since I nearly paid full price when she came out, so what I paid was still great value. She's a nice figure, though MegaHouse doesn't really live up to Alter and GSC quality.

I need more Alter and GSC to balance out all the Griffon failing I have going on in my display.

Noone can match GSC or Alter, but similar, they are not as expensive either.

A few Ryomou on sale...kinda want, especially the half price one :3

*check wallet* So empty though...

So cute, Homura-chan looks so happy.

That's a nendoroid though. This is a figma.

Wow, stores are still having a hard time selling Alter Vivios? No wonder she's so cheap. I think I'll buy her, even though I don't know the character. As a figure, it's pretty great, even more so for $35.

I'd get Nessa too, but she's too expensive for me right now, even half off.

Got a couple of figs through today, the cost of shipping was pretty high as they were sent together x.x



Thought I'd get a couple of photos of my desk now I've re-arranged and also the side of my room with most of my boxes.
Spoiler:

They're a bit dark, but there's most of my collection.

I've just fixed all my wires, so it's less of a fire hazard.

The figma Rider and figma Saber are getting a re-release in November.

Spoiler for Images:


As expected, Rider is selling FAST! Already sold out at AmiAmi, HLJ and HobbyStock still has her

Anybody else notice the insane prices of Spice and Wolf Horo figures?

I bought this one off ebay a few years back for about $90 USD, but now I see it on Ebay for upwards $300, and all of the other new figs of Horo coming out are around the same price!

If you know a good source for buying some of the newer Horo figs, please PM me a source available to ship to Australia, I'll love you forever.

^ That's because there are only a handful of figures of her and not many people are willing to part with theirs. Hence it becomes rare once all the copies sell out from the stores.

The Kotobukiya Horo is still available for the original retail price

Ah, I feel your pain. A few months ago, I bought a Volks Holo for around $300 AUD. I had contacted one of those proxy buyers to keep an eye out for a Volks Holo, but after months of waiting with no news, and the prices for one on eBay kept going up, I bit the bullet and bought from eBay.

I'd like to get a Bounty Hunter Yoko (Gurren Lagann), but last time I checked, they were going for $400 to $500 USD on eBay x.x

I have the re-re-release of Kotobukiya's Holo on preorder :3 I used AmiAmi, decent price, and ships to Australia.

I bought CM's Horo for 7100y a few months ago, shipped with a bunch of other figures so not sure what standalone shipping cost, but should be in the $100ish realm. Koto's is cheaper so definitely under $100 shipped to AU.

The figure I want most that is the most absurdly priced in the third party market is Alter's Zarathustra KOS-MOS -- she's always upward of $250 even on the likes of manda. Ebay is always incredibly overpriced and should be your absolute last resort.

i want to ask if anyone had any bad experiences with Japan Yahoo Auctions? such as paying a high price just to find out its a bootleg figurine? i had someone ordered these two for me, just curious if these two are bootleg themselves.

http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k145301947
http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/146492674

i never actually had the store order figurines for me, so if someone can help me verify these for me, i'd appreciate your help. Thank u.

Never ordered from them. Only Japanese auction i tried was one from Mandrake. Ebay has bootlegs, so I imagine yahoo can to. Just stay away from auctions with shipping address from Hong Kong

GSC Tohsaka Rin is getting a limited re-release in November, and so does the GSC Saber Alter in December.
