Shaorin Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Ha ha, I absolutely love guinea pigs; I've raised them since I was in the 3rd grade. i simply adore Guinea Pigs. i've been keeping them, on and off, since i was like 7/8 years old around 1988 or so. my mother was a fancier, and kept a heard around through most of my childhood. she raised me up around them, in addition to her medium-sized kennel of Pembroke Welsh Corgis. she also raised hamster and rat herds off and on, but Piggies♥ have always remained my favorite small animal of them all bar none, those largish rodents that have really managed to stand the test of time. they can be such precious little angels, and i never could seem to stand not having at least one or two around at any given time in my life... wonderful face♥ a bit "healthy" there for my personal tastes, but a fantastic facial sculpt all the same... lose the Headphones, though; no fun in bed with studio monitors on... (( i know, i know; it's Sonico-chan's personal shtick. still doesn't make it any less inane IMHO... )) Edited May 4, 2013 by Shaorin Quote

renegadeleader1 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 oh that's nice. you just pick her up? Yup! My comic store had a sale. I got it for $23. Quote
Major Focker Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 nice find! damn, if only that was the typical price for PVC figures, rather than the exception. Quote

(( i know, i know; it's Sonico-chan's personal shtick. still doesn't make it any less inane IMHO... )) All of the Sonico figures are pretty pricey, but I might make an exception for this one; it's beautiful. As for g-pigs, I've had them all my life until about 2 years ago-they're so cool and funny I tend to get attached to them, EVEN THE ONE THAT CHEWED THE NOSE OFF OF MY FAVORITE Asuka figure lol, but when they finally get sick and die it's just too much. Don't you agree? Quote
raptormesh Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 I once had a gpig that goes to sleep immediately if i put a cloth over his eyes. Like, instantly - legs splayed doesn't matter where he was and could remain sleeping for hours. Quote
Kicker773 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Hahah...sorry for doing the drive-by on your wallet, man! Thanks for the link man... anyways it arrived today. Bro called me to pick it up from his house lol. Picked up a few gear as well. Finally displayed the regular version and the one that arrived will be in its box and join the rest of the limited ed bishoujo ones.. While I have the stuff on display I took pics of the Tekken girls... Quote
xrentonx Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Nice, dude! My femshep should be here soon...then she's gonna go renegade face-punching on the rest of my collection! Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I got my Asuka's a few days ago. I really like both of them... Asuka, Asuka, Asuka... by Mike - drowning in plastic, on Flickr Tsundere... by Mike - drowning in plastic, on Flickr More Asuka... by Mike - drowning in plastic, on Flickr but Now, I've got a serious problem. i've got these two, but Now I really want this: and if I get that I'll need to get this: and both seem to go for $250 or more... frakk...

Shaorin Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) here's the only Asuka i'm interested in... i'll finally get around to getting her one of these odd days now... Edited May 13, 2013 by Shaorin Quote
raptormesh Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 My fav is the one exclusive to a kombini chain, she's wearing casual clothes and nibbling on a sandwich or something. Quote
Major Focker Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 since there's seems to be a number of Sonico fans here: credit:http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/701246 missed this on the first go'round and just learned that it's being re-released. most preorders are already sold out though, except at Hobbysearch any recommendations on other figures in kimono?

anime52k8 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 My fav is the one exclusive to a kombini chain, she's wearing casual clothes and nibbling on a sandwich or something. you mean this one? It's a lottery prize from Lawson; there's also a version where she's holding a newspaper and there's a Loppi kiosk in the background. Of the Lawson figures, I my favorite is the one: and it's packageing is a clear plastic coffee can which is really fun. Personally, I've never liked the ballet figure, it's a little creepy and doesn't jive with how I look at the character. since there's seems to be a number of Sonico fans here: I really like Sonico and get excited every time they announce a new figure of her, but I only actually own one of them and that one I bought buy accident. there's just always something more exciting or important that comes up around the same time that makes me pass on whatever it is of her I'd like to order. Quote
raptormesh Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Ah yes that's the one with the can. She just reminds me of when I first saw her in the manga. Probably cost a pretty penny now. Quote
Major Focker Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 i don't have any Asuka's nor have i watched Evangelion. i like this though, but have yet to find one: i like this other one too, except the face is a bit goofy and the rear view is too.. er.. detailed. Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) that second one looks awesome but would be so damn expensive. AFAIK it's a big 1/6 resin kit. :edit: holly crap $100 just for the unpainted kit that I'd never in my life be able to make look that good myself. http://www.e2046.com/product/7627 Edited May 13, 2013 by anime52k8 Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) BTW, normally I avoid prize figures but man is this so perfect: Edited May 13, 2013 by anime52k8 Quote
Kicker773 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I have both Asuka bikes, but the 2nd one broke. Still prefer the first one over the 2nd on though Quote
myk Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I have both Asuka bikes, but the 2nd one broke. Still prefer the first one over the 2nd on though Dude that SUCKS. What are they made out of? Will you be able to fix it? Quote
Major Focker Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 depending on the damage and where, i'd be willing to buy that off you Quote
GU-11 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Damn, and I was hoping to buy the 1st one. Resin kits are way above my modeling skill level. And at 100 USD? Quote
raptormesh Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Well Arcadia's releasing a Sonico Playset. Pretty sure that's compatible with our valks. They need tea too. Just assume she's a zentraedi. Quote
Kicker773 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 no...the resin broke on the bike.The rear hydraulic is where the fault is because there isn't a lot of strength put on it. Whoever engineered it didn't take into consideration the possible weight. So mine fell from the display shelf and broke into many pieces. I didn't bother trying to fix it since I was too upset. I doubt it was fixable. Quote
Roy's Blues Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I have 4 of those evangelion bikes. The first Rei(sitting up with open suit) and Asuka(sitting up on bike with glasses) were/are shelf divers. I've put them back together a few times, but it's never 100% perfect. If anyone's interested in the first Rei and , send me a PM. Quote
ErikElvis Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Those look like a good size. I really like those Asukas. Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 even though it has a slightly odd face, the pose and bike decals totally sell the second version to me. BTW, I just hoped on Mandarake and ordered that UFO prize Asuka and a Figma Mari figure, for some reason the two of them together cost less than the Figma Asuka by itself. Quote
ErikElvis Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Im diggin this. Whatever its from. http://www.hlj.com/product/MAX04164/Fig Quote
Major Focker Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 i like that too. the Lineage series is something i always forward to. already have the Human Mage and the first Elf. i might get the brown skin version though, to tide me over until a decent Yoruichi comes along. have yet to have a dark-skinned figure in my collection. gotta admit that blue skin version is pretty enchanting. choices, choices... Quote
ShadowerV2 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Blue huh... kinda makes me think someone was wondering what would happen if Smurfette was in the Worlds of Warcraft universe. Quote
ErikElvis Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Ok I preordered the blue version. Its different. Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I'm not much of a fantasy theme person, but the dark skin version looks pretty good: Quote
Kicker773 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Awesome Roy! that is nice.. I have the Rei with the open shirt. Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Well Arcadia's releasing a Sonico Playset. Pretty sure that's compatible with our valks. They need tea too. Just assume she's a zentraedi. that is super cute. just put in an order through HLJ, not sure if I'm gonna get it though. We'll see in 5 months. Quote
