wolfx Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Really loving Yomi. Ok i'm almost sure they'll include demon mode yomi as a convention exclusive or something. The iron is awesome!! Demon exorcising weapon Michael the ....whatever number it was. Quote
AcroRay Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) One of Figma's sculptors is tormenting me with additional Muv Luv Alternative Figmas, released as resin kits that you add your own joints to. Damn you, "OOXOO"! http://ameblo.jp/ooxoo-japan/image-1036269...0273516019.html The lovely Kriska Berkanova Edited January 14, 2010 by AcroRay Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 NOW K-On finally gets figmas - starting from Yui. I haven't watched this yet, and the girls are a tad tooo munchkin for my taste - but I love girls playing casual rock in high school bands ...I guess... I'm thinking of adding these to my collection - mainly because Haruhi and Yuki will have somebody to jam with... Heck...LOTS of really pretty Figma girls coming out this year! Seriously! Meanwhile, Kaiyodo gives us Proffesor Layton and the mistransformable Revoltings ... what were they thinking? Pete Quote
Omegablue Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I've a few so far. Prefer them much more than the Revotech techs cause of the stiff articulation. So upset I missed out on the Makina! Favorite is by far Sigma. So pretty, and pink, and loads of extras. Quote
shiroikaze Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Looks like Max Factory is going to release some EVA figmas among staple and other interesting choices... http://akibahobby.net/2010/02/wf2010w_figma.html Also: !!! Now I have to decide which to get, Alter's Almecha or the figma Edited February 11, 2010 by shiroikaze Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 It's always Kos-Mos V4, the fugly version. V1 is best, followed by V3. I'd buy V2 as well. But there's already been a zillion V4 figures/statues etc, we don't need more. We need a V1 figure, and a V2/V3 anything (other than gashapon). Quote
shiroikaze Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 For me it's the V4 followed closely by V1. V2 and V3 are pretty much equal to me as V1.5 comes last. Honestly, I can't really see anything ugly about V4 though... =\ But hey, it's Kos-Mos and it's Figma, a must for me . I do wish they would release more Vocaloid figmas... Quote

Vocaloid Kaito and Megurine are probably a guranteed release. Quote
shiroikaze Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Vocaloid Kaito and Megurine are probably a guranteed release. Hopefully, I haven't seen anything of them yet except the nendoroids. I wonder if the hair is poseable too, cause that look kinda cumbersome... Edited February 14, 2010 by shiroikaze Quote
ShadowerV2 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I'll be getting both the Alter and Figma versions of Kos Mos for sure. Quote
shiroikaze Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Thought I throw this question in here rather some other potential thread: How many units of an item Good Smile (or any other figure company) usually put in production? How often times will they put a popular item back in production for another run? =\ Quote
wolfx Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 Looks like BRS will get a figma soon. http://ameblo.jp/gsc-mikatan/image-1048528...0456983664.html Quote
shiroikaze Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Luka Megurine Figma in Oct 2010 No Takoluka? Quote
wolfx Posted June 29, 2010 Author Posted June 29, 2010 takoluka....probably in the nendoroid series? Quote
VF5SS Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 takoluka....probably in the nendoroid series? takoluka comes with the Nendoroid luka Quote
shiroikaze Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Which of course, is sold out nearly everywhere and everywhere else that has her charges for her exorbitantly. Not to mention things at Ami Ami sell out pretty damn quickly if you don't pre-order. Also, the nendoroids seem alot more popular than the figmas. At least, I got the keychains.

shiroikaze Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) The Black Rock Shooter came in yesterday. \o/ The mail lady tossed my box and just drove off , luckily the box looked as if it didn't even suffer a scratch. Seems like Ami Ami upgraded their cardboard boxes, the boxes are much more sturdier than what Ami Ami used previously--they're probably on par with HLJ's legendary boxes. Packaging is also interesting, instead of airbags this time, the Figma box was nestled within another layer of equally-thick, interlocking cardboards with a centimeter of space from the inners walls of the box. Though I rather not have it happen, it looks like the box can probably take a good beating while keeping the contents safe and pristine. I have to say, of the few Figmas I own, the Black Rock Shooter blows them away. The range of motions are bit more wider than what I'm used to seeing, the face sculpt seems sharper, and the accessories are numerous. Aside from the staple hands, faces, and stand, the BRS comes with an extra hairpiece with flame, a sword, a huge cannon, two metal chains, an extra stand, and a region-free DVD of the Black Rock Shooter OVA to boot! Her cape-like jacket and her upper and lower torso being articulated are pretty nice touches too. There's a tiny blemish on the inner right thigh, but that seems to be cleanable. The one thing I don't like is trying to place her hand on the cannon's handle. You have to stretch the fingers and thumb away from each other in order to wrap around the handle. I'm afraid to do that . Not to mention, the right holding-hand has the index finger and thumb attached together by a paint globule. Still, for 2,080 yen + shipping at Ami Ami. This was a pretty good buy, I'm pretty happy with this purchase. Edited September 8, 2010 by shiroikaze Quote

shiroikaze Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Nice! I didn't know they included the DVD in it....or is this a special limited edition thing? But srsly that OVA sucked major balls. Eh, I enjoyed it. Though I admit it wasn't stellar. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be limited edition (Ami Ami seems to have "plenty" on hand), but from Actar's review of it, it's in line with the special figmas that do get bundled with the LE games and such. Like that Saber Figma that came with the Fate/Stay Night PSP game. Quote

Lynx7725 Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Speaking of Figma, I just received (but not yet taken out of parcel) the Red Figma Saber Fate Extra. Also had gotten the Alter Saber, so I'll take pics soonish and post up. Quote

Its interesting to note that Huke is probably making alot of royalty money from just a couple of illustrations of a character which has absolutely no defined....well...character. Quote
shiroikaze Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Well, in a way, it's about being in the right place at the right time. Quote
Omegablue Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Got My BRS last weekend. And yeah, best Figma to date, though followed closely by the Gantz one. Really would like some Appleseed, GITS and Macross Figmas. A bit disappointed in all the school girl treatments they've been giving lately... But yeah, bring on those Evangelion Figmas, and hopefully a Misato with them. Quote
shiroikaze Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Got my Sakuya Izayoi from Otacute.com yesterday. They seem to be the go-to guys for the lowest prices for legitimate Touhou figmas. If only I knew about them when Reimu and Marisa came out. I'll post a couple of pictures of her soon. Also, I gave in and preordered the Nendoroid Luka . Edited September 26, 2010 by shiroikaze Quote

shiroikaze Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 I haven't taken pictures of Sakuya yet, but I found pictures of the upcoming V4 Kos-Mos from 4chan's /toy/ section. That's alot of hardware she's packing... notably extra breasts . Not to mention she'll also include the staple heads, hands, and stands. It really does look like her hair is on figma joints thankfully. From what I hear, she'll retail for 4500 yen. =\ Quote

Are her boobs really that big later on?? Wish they would make some claymore figures. I'd buy all of them! Quote

David Hingtgen Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 V4 is still the ugliest KOS-MOS IMHO. I won't buy anything of that version. The original is the best, followed by the short-lived V3. Quote
wolfx Posted October 2, 2010 Author Posted October 2, 2010 The new figma rei ayanami looks solid. http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2010/10/figma-rei-ayanami-january-2011-release.html It tops revoltech fraulein by a mile. Quote
