HackaFreak Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Never really saw the appeal in figures. Then my friend was all, "Hey look. I'm getting this for Christmas." Totally wanna buy tons of them now. I settled on this one for my Christmas gift. Oh gosh probably should've reduced the resolution but oh well. The first of (hopefully) many. I really like it, though the hair feels a little too light. And unfortunately, it doesn't fit the pegs on the stand. Stood it up haphazardly to take the picture. Wobbled if I so much as touched any of the shelves. In the box until I get around to having someone else fix it for me. I'm really tempted to get the swimsuit Mao coming out soon. Quote
jaxter0987 Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Should have posted this week and a half ago, but like Forythos, I also finally got my Natsume Rin Nendoroid. <3 Forythos 1 Quote

Silvachief Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 As a side note, if any of you know anyone who has put together a figure like the one above could you please put me into contact with them? I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed and want to do everything I can to get it looking nice Quote
SieghartXx Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Oh my god. So many amazing figures and nendoroids >O<! I have a few, but they're really... Well, not nice, because there aren't many stores with japanese/otaku goods over here. I haven't been able to buy online, mostly because of money and because I don't know from where to buy (there's J-List, HobbyJapan, etc), and I don't know how many days would take, or the shipping costs (as I live in south america). I must say, I'm really impressed and motivated from those figures and collections you guys have shown! Quote

I would highly recommend them for their fair pricing (for both shipping and figures) and good packaging. Quote
SieghartXx Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Amiami is one of the ones I have bookmarked :'D I was going to buy a figure from there a few months ago, but the day after I saw it (and when I was to put it on my cart to buy it) it was already out of stock ;o; let's see if they re-stocked it now >.< thanks for the advice!

threepwood007 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I actually am in the process of moving to a new condo, and that included the transportation of my figure collection. Only 28-strong, but I like keeping things in good condition so it's quite nerve-wracking :-P. If it's something I'm a fan of, I usually try to get a figure from it - usually only one. SAO and Muv-Luv are the notable exceptions. Quote
Forythos Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Just got these Bakemonogatari figures as a set of two for 2500 Yen : Quote
jaxter0987 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Just got these Bakemonogatari figures as a set of two for 2500 Yen : So freaking jelly of the Senjougahara figure T.T Both of them for 2500 Yen is such a good deal. Quote
Forythos Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 So freaking jelly of the Senjougahara figure T.T Both of them for 2500 Yen is such a good deal. Yeah, Mandarake has some amazing prices sometimes. I mostly wanted the Senjougahara since I saw a super sexy picture of it on MFC, but Hachikuji is very cute as well. Can't wait for June to get Ryuuko. Next one I want right now though is a Misaka Mikoto, but I can't find one that I like at a decent price, so for now I just keep checking Manda daily in case a good one pops up for cheap. Seems I kinda caught the figure bug since I got that Rikka. >_>;; Quote

Forythos Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I took a look at your collection, and it is so cool ;A; I wish I could get my hands on figures like that T3T Thank you! I only got into figure collecting more recently. Part of the reason I guess is that I was kind of ashamed of my hobby(anime/manga) in the past, but as I grew older I just stopped caring about the haters. For many years I only had the Asuka and the Valkyrie Profile figures. Then, when I started getting into online shopping and saw the Estelle Bright Nendoroid, I thought I could get "just this one", and here I am now lol. I'm trying to pace myself though so I don't end up broke, I'll probably stop for a while after I find a Misaka that I want. Quote
Forythos Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 After struggling for a while to find a Misaka Mikoto figure that I really wanted, I finaly settled on pre-ordering this cutie from AmiAmi : The various faces, poses and accessories look very cute, and the articulations themselves look fun. I like it a lot more than the Nendo version. Comes out the same month as Matoi Ryuko I think, so that's gonna be it for a while after that. Quote

How cute ;A; I see that AmiAmi seems to be the most praised web to buy figures, I guess I'll make it my first choice when I get a new job and begin to buy my figures TuT Quote
skelebunny Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 OMG, I rarely do this, but I preordered nearly as soon as I saw it : WooooAH that Ryuko figurine is awesome!! Quote
Silvachief Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 This Kirigiri figure just had its color pictures released. It looks really cool from the front but her face looks really odd from any other angel, so i'm not sure whether I should get it or not. Quote

It looks pretty amazing, I would even venture into trying to tweak it myself if I wanted to buy it >_< (but I have the feeling that I would ruin it anyway T-T) Quote
Freezin Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Bought this adorable little creature quite some time ago Quote

BrandonL337 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I've got a decent amount of figures, mostly Robot Damashiis and Figmas. this Eva Unit 01 Damashii was the first anime figure I every bought. Also, the Tamashii stands fucking suck. The Chogokin Saber, her armor is made of metal! Homura and Inori, Homura being the first figma I ever bought, and is still the most I've paid for a figure. And my most recent acquisition, Fate Testarossa Harlaown in her Blaze form. SieghartXx and threepwood007 2 Quote
