No, no, no... that's an old picture. I did get her last year. Just thought I'd post it again in reference to Tokyo Hunter. It took about a month longer to get than I originally expected at that time.

@Revan21, gratz on getting Shiki! I got her when she first came out. Awesome figure! One of my favorites.

Hmm, anyone buy from ABCToy4Me? They're one of the few places that are still taking pre-orders for the Saber Lily Golden Caliburn at a reasonable price (~150 including shipping).

Are you buying online? If so, please call ahead and ask them if they have the item in stock; their site said they had a Miku figurine (the GSC one) in stock, so I drove down there only to find out they sold out ages ago and forgot to update their website, and the next day I got an email stating that my order (I made an online order of her as well by check, so I could pick her up in store) was canceled because they "just run out" (though only heaven knows how long ago they sold their last one ).

I've no idea how they fare with preorders, though I imagine they're even worse. Since they're based in Cali, they have no guarantee on enough stock anyway, so cross your fingers. And if you lose her, hey, that's $150 back in your wallet for something else!

Not quite a figure, but browsing AmiAmi led me to discovering http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=engli...e_display.html is getting a re-release, I was really disappointed about missing the first batch, so very happy to see this.

Ordered one, and a http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=engli...e_display.html while I was at it. Should go nicely with my Reisen and Eirin. I didn't want her at first but decided it was worth it afterall.

GSC Nadeko is looking good.



I still haven't ordered GSC Hitagi... not sure why. I like her a lot, thought for sure I'd want her, but can't help but feel there are other figures I'd rather have.

Definitely a great looking figure, Mushi.

The Nadeko GSC looks great, I pre ordered the Hitagi GSC but decided to cancel it though I like it very much, the appeal of Bakemonogatari characters are weird, I had the same feeling that I prefer to spend money on other figures instead of the GSC.

Basically the Alter Ritsu is the one I want

Thanks

The funny thing is, now that I got her I'm afraid to take her out of the box and put on display b/c I don't have a glass-cabinet

I'm in the same situation...

Ah, thanks. That doesn't really inspire confidence, and the online reviews have been pretty bad too. Oh well, I guess I don't REALLY need her, since I already pre-ordered the Triumphant Excalibur, and they're kind of close in pose and style, and I don't really like Saber enough to have THAT many versions of her.

Oh, regarding Nadeko, it looks like she comes with an alternate pair of legs so you can display her like this too:

That's odd. I can't imagine why anyone would want to display her like that vs. the full figure. Makes me think that maybe that's a partial prototype they rushed out for a show somewhere?

Nice picture, though. Shows more of the detail. I really like the extra pieces, it gives the figure some "atmosphere." Much nicer than all of the school supplies falling out of Hitagi's skirt. I'm trying to cut back on figure purchases, but Nadeko might be able to tempt me.

I believe the original artwork that this figure is based off of features her standing thigh-deep in water.

Ah, ok. That would make sense, then. I think I'd still prefer the full standing version.

[edit]- Yup, found it here. http://konachan.com/post/show/62568/...sengoku_nadeko

Nice idea, but it kinda' loses something in transferring to the figure form.

Well, that's why she comes with 2 pairs of legs, so you can choose which configuration you want

The store I usually order from has the preorder closed but you can still pre-order that Saber for 150 at Robert's Anime Corner Store. I've never ordered a figure from them (can get it cheaper elsewhere) before but they are solid for dvds.

Oh hey, I've actually bought a few items from their Amazon storefront, their shipping is pretty damn fast. Free shipping on orders over $100, looks pretty tempting. Guess I'll go for it har har har...

Which is a good design choice on their part, IMO. I think it would be better if they could have made the base look more "watery" by molding some ripples around her legs. But they'd have to provide a different base for the standing version.

Oh well... might get her, might not. I'm still contemplating Hitagi, but not sure about it.

@Revan21 - Darn...I want that 1/7 Shiki now. I only ever saw the Nendoroid version of her available. Nice pickup.

@Mushi: Is that one from a page ago one of the Polyphonica girls?

@Last Sinner: Yes it is. Corticarte Apa Lagranges. That's about the most "erotic" figure I own. I usually prefer the sweet/innocent/pretty/cute looks, but I like Corti's original character design so much that I had to have that one.

Sexy legs.

Sorry, I just had to write this.

I ordered my Creator's Collection Maid M figure through them. I got it in the end but I found it odd when I saw the figure being posted by other users on different boards before mine had even supposedly shipped.

But not as odd as how it magically shipped within twelve hours my asking if they had received their shipment of the figure.

I did get the figure four days later in Australia so I can't complain about the shipping speed but I do suspect they forgot about my order...
