mechaninac Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Let me up the ante for you. I keep trying to walk away from buying any more of these things and Max Factory just keeps sucking me back in! When will it end?... hopefuly not any time soon... Quote
akt_m Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Does the pre-order of hatsune miku append at hlj comes too with the free headphones??? Quote
Tober Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Been wondering about the same thing. Seems like the BRS Strength figs was in severely short supply for some reason, and most all online stores are sold out. Strength is back up at amiami http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=engli...e_display.html Quote
Omegablue Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Wow figa tekkaman LOL "Figa" in Italian is V@gina... I know, simple Type-o, but I think most of the time in Italian so it was funny at that split moment... Quote
Scream Man Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Figma Tekkaman....I....i just.... I'm gonna need a minute.... I may just have had some sort of joy overload. Quote
VF5SS Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 How is this any different in concept than the Armor Plus Tekkaman Blade stuff? Are people going to buy more of these because it's Figma or what? Quote
SuperHobo Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Different in concept than the armor plus? Most likely these won't have any removable armor or any diecast content. Furthermore, the figmas will most likely be cheaper. Additionally, most of Bandai's Tekkamen are web exclusives so these will make a nice alternative....assuming MF releases these in the masses. The more Tekkamen the merrier. Quote
Jeremy007 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 does anyone know when preorders for the figma of Nene from Loveplus will be up? she is due next month and i cant find any site that is offering preorders for her. Quote
Tober Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 does anyone know when preorders for the figma of Nene from Loveplus will be up? she is due next month and i cant find any site that is offering preorders for her. I'm only aware of the first two having been announced. Quote
Scream Man Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 How is this any different in concept than the Armor Plus Tekkaman Blade stuff? Are people going to buy more of these because it's Figma or what? For me its good news for a few reasons. And as i say all this, keep in mind that I LOVE the Armor Plus Tekkaman. but this is good new because: - Figmas are cheaper overall. now there are pricier ones, but for the most part Figmas are gonna cost u less - No exclusives. Bandai does its Tamashii crap all the time, so the more I can minimize that the happier Ill be. I only have AP Blade, because the rest are too insanely priced to be feasible. - Solid joint system and build. Ive only ever had one Figma end up loose and/or break, and I have a few. I love the way they do their sculpts and builds. - Bigger Range. Figma has shown with its Dragon Knight stuff that it will do a whole set, and there are some awesome designs in the Tekkaman universe I hope they get to. So there u go, just a few positive things.

Jeremy007 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I'm only aware of the first two having been announced. there are a few sites that say she is due next month but i dont think we will see her until nov/dec. all the sites have this same pic too: most likely a prototype. Quote
Frogze Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Preorders for figma Guts from Berserk are open on Amiami! Release is planned for Jan/12 Quote
Tober Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 does anyone know when preorders for the figma of Nene from Loveplus will be up? she is due next month and i cant find any site that is offering preorders for her. Pre-orders have now started. Eg. Amiami Quote
electric indigo Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Is there already a release date for the Drossel 2.0? Quote
Dutch Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I don't collect figma's, but I'm definitely getting tekkaman. I only wish they would scale it up in size to about 1/6 scale. Quote
Tober Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Preorder for madoka figma is closed everywhere....wtf >.< Homerun is aplenty though. If you're still looking Anime Export appear to have it in stock. Quote
VFTF1 Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Just checking, but beyond the middle school Haruhi Suzumiya, were there (or will there be) any other figma Haruhi releases in the future? Pete Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Robocop delayed....AGAIN. http://www.goodsmile.info/post/ja/3204/2011%E5%B9%B410%E6%9C%88%E5%87%BA%E8%8D%B7%E4%BA%88%E5%AE%9A%E5%95%86%E5%93%81%E3%81%8A%E3%82%88%E3%81%B3%E7%99%BA%E5%A3%B2%E6%9C%88%E5%A4%89%E6%9B%B4%E3%81%AE%E3%81%94%E6%A1%88%E5%86%85.html Quote
EXO Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Robocop delayed....AGAIN. http://www.goodsmile...8%E5%86%85.html They'll fix it. They fix everything. Quote
akt_m Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Oh noes, i just farted up and broke the neck joint. It broke from dropping on the floor. so how do i fix?? anywhere that sells figmas joints? Quote
shiroikaze Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Photo? You can buy certain parts from Amazon.jp I believe. You could try contacting Goodsmile to sell/ship you a replacement, but I don't think that'll happen. Another alternative is to find a 1:12'ish scale 3rd-party joint that would fit a figma and frankenstein it. HLJ.com should have quite a few. You know, this is what I would love from Kaiyodo and Goodsmile, bundle extra joints with their figures. Those joints shouldn't cost them that much to put in a few.

akt_m Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) This is what happened, tried to repair, but failed... unless there is something that glues more than "Super Glue". As you can see i put some metal pieces, but didn't work... Edited October 30, 2011 by akt_m Quote
electric indigo Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Fireball Charming Drossel set for March 2012 release. If you need an alternative to the Chogokin. Quote
GU-11 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Personally, I prefer the original Drossell. Wanted to buy that one back then, but sadly ran out of funds. Not sure what to think of the new "thunder thighs" look. Quote
Frogze Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I received the long awaited Robocop figma a few days back. It's my first figure in this line, and I have to say it's a very cool toy with great articulation and terrific looks. What really amazes me is that the sculpt/articulation is so spot on that anyway I pose him it will look just like it's out of the movie Now I can't wait to received my Berserk's Guts in a couple months! Quote
electric indigo Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Figma Drossel 2.0 is up for pre-order. http://www.hlj.com/product/MAX40621 Quote
VFTF1 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I just got word from my customs office that my Figma Haruhi Junior High School version has arrived; very happy about it. I'll be doing a review and posting pics soon. Pete Quote
Omegablue Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I recieved the Robocops for my friends. And I was rather impressed, and slightly regret not ordering one for me. Though I'm excited for my armour Aegis and Fate Zero. Quote
mechaninac Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Regarding Figma's Robocop: The metalic finish with the varying anodized areas is absolutely stunning, and the figure is roughly in scale, give or take, with Revoltech's Iron Man and War Machine... that's always a plus for those who like size/scale consistency on a display shelf. However, I feel that Max Factory missed a chance to design Murphy's head to use a removal helmet instead of the whole upper half of the skull being removable... that way one could have had a helmet-less Robocop with Peter Weller's likeness as a display option. I also found many joints (waist, hips, etc.) to be looser than the average Figma, but not as loose as the average Revoltech. And a word of caution -- watch out for the ankle pistons as they pop out very easily and could get lost. Edited November 25, 2011 by mechaninac Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Robocop pics : http://schizophonic9.com/re/figma_robocop.html Quote
Omegablue Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 In regards to Robocop's non sculpted face. Apparently there were issues in getting the actor's likeness rights. Another rumour I came across is that the studio that hold the Robocop rights, didn't want to give the rights to sculpt any face as a new film is in talking phase. Quote
