ANIME Figures and Statues

[anime52k8]

I thought the artwork on the left was cute. Anime girl in cow bikini. Then I looked at the details. Where the milk is coming from. What the other girl is drinking. Man this stuff goes too far.

hahaha

seriously, that's tame compared to some of the stuff that's in the game.

The other figure I hinted at getting a few pages ago. Alisa from the God Eater games. She's getting a re-release and a second version. I'm still on the first game but I don't have to overpay for her now. First and second versions. She's cool without going too far.

you forgot this:

should be out in a few weeks.

this is from a few pages back. OT, but i'm curious what it is and what series it's from

That's the Nadesico, from Martian Successor Nadesico.

[Major Focker]

thanks. never did manage to watch that one.

eeenie, meennie, miny, moe

no contest, really. specially the DX version

[anime52k8]

what the?

another repaint...

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-005602

guessing they're gonna have a black repaint soon...

see, this I don't understand; how is the pink version (which looks the best of the three) a limited version even though multiple online retailers have it. and yet the brown (which looks the worst) is regular release. also why announce 2 repaints before the first version is even out? dragon toys is seriously the new Orchid Seed.

super sexy:

this is gonna sound weird, but i hope who ever invented cast-off, will also develop cast-on options to make some figures less, er, exposed.

absolutely gorgeous face sculpt and painting on this one. but as my collection is pretty tame, i'm afraid it will be out of place in the display area.

Easy solution, buy MORE porno statues so she won't be lonely in her nakedness.

i like the way you think.

while i'm at it, i probably should get a separate display cabinet

I need new display cases so bad, but then I'd have to clean up and reorganize my whole room to make them fit, and that's honestly a terrifying thought.

And speeking of terrifying thoughts, I started logging my stuff on myfigurecollection, it really makes one feel like they have too much crap:

http://myfigurecollection.net/collection/bediMR

anyways, HLJ just re-opened pre-orders for that 1/5 sonico. they're $12 more expensive than Nippon Yasan but HLJ doesn't have a shipping cost listed, which was ludicrous on the NY order. I'm not sure if I want to keep my NY order or gamble on HLJ being cheaper.

[Major Focker]

i guess you're far from halfway done listing your stuff

i've only been using that website to scan for upcoming stuff or to research on items that weren't mass released like GK and limited issues.i guess it would be pretty handy to also use it as an inventory. my excel file proved adequate initially but then as the collection grew and i started buying stuff that went directly to storage when i didn't have display space immediately available, there were cases when i couldn't recall what an item looked like though i had listed it in the file, or which particular version it is. as shared previously, i have a habit of picking up stuff simply purely on aesthetics/coolness even when i have no prior knowledge of the subject.

when i relocated recently, i also had a sobering thought: i was allocated a 40-foot container which to my surprise was fully used, and over a third of it were toys, figures, model kits. when i moved to that country a few years ago, i managed with just a 20-foot container.

[anime52k8]

the girl figure part of the list is complete as far as I can remember. what's missing is a good chunk of the misc. robot toys; all of my model kits; all of my main line transformers, and all the designer toy stuff that they don't even have pages for.

she's got a nice

axe...

[mechaninac]

Gotta love those well shaped axes...

[anime52k8]

I'm honestly slightly scared of the face on that one.

anyways, I got an email about this today. It's so beautiful...

I don't trust production quality and consistency of premium format figures to the point where I could never justify the prices; but if I was going to get one it would be this.

This is from a videogame? What's it called? I would think I would have seen it on Sankaku Complex by now.

No I didn't. I don't like the foot attachment on that version and the sword holder. Although the first Plum version has a sword holder too I believe. There is yet another version coming out with her in a bikini that's similar to the second version from Plum.

There is also this other character from God Eater coming out.

Sideshow can be hit or miss sometimes. For the price they should always be hit. I'm waiting to see how their Harley Quinn turns out next month. She has a cloth material for her suit and people on the other forums still think that her nipple action might be removed for the released version. So far Sideshow has made the best statues of Artgerm's artwork.

visual novel, whatever you want to call it. The game is called STARLESS, http://vndb.org/v3161

it's... disturbing.

[anime52k8]

not mine but so cute

[treatment]

Welp! A quick repaint.

Black pantsu is nice, but the brown boots/axe/glove is meh...

Yeah that's not for me. It looks like a game version of Prison School.

Kotobukiya's Mara is out. She looks good. I'm going to wait for Amazon to get her. They have some big discounts on figures these days.

[Major Focker]

what will they think of next?

[Major Focker]

started listing my stuff: http://myfigurecollection.net/collection/scrooge

this might take a while..

[anime52k8]

I honestly can't decide I think this one is cool or stupid. I will say this though, if the finished Jason sculpt has abs like the control art I'll be all over it.

Another 300mm bunnygirl up at ami...

I think everyone who wants that figure wants it for her abs. I might have to get her myself. But there should be some female horror characters that would make better figures than these versions. They did that Ghostbusters girl. I would take a Gozer, the dreaming ghost girl, or a possessed Dana figure. I need some time to think of others.

[anime52k8]

so I ordered this on amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J5E4WD8 ) because Sailor Mercury is my favorite and it was cheaper than any of the Japanese shops that had it.

I get that it's a web exclusive deal but I really don't know all that much about figuarts ZERO. I take it it's not very big.

Nothing really interesting in the new figures front that I see.

So, this one's back, but at pre-owned A/B status...

One of my favorite, very DAT ASS. I've seen her for cheaper on Manderake from time to time though.

I've been going back and forth on getting the dark skinned repaint.

[treatment]

uh oh...

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-112316

ami doesn't have it listed, yet.

wait. is that different from or the same as this: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-003916

?

Guess the mouth-expression and the colors are different.

add/edit:

Ok. She's now listed at Ami and here's the more extensive promo-pictorials: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/review?scode=FIGURE-006044

Edited May 16, 2014 by treatment

[anime52k8]

it's a completely different figure of the same character in the same costume with basically the same pose. but one is kaitendo and the other is Orca; and the sculpt is definitely different. hair is more dramatic on the Orca one, her torso is longer and twisting more, the boobs are larger and her ass is smaller.

[treatment]

It is an intriguing variant. Very tempting to get.

Anyway, my bland orders from a few months ago got delivered today.

Got 'em each on good discounted sale. Ruri's like $10 or so.

However, Ichika might be the only one getting unboxed and displayed since I'm out of display area...

[treatment]

she looks quite persuasive in getting her points across...

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-006063

[anime52k8]

Interesting, not sure if I like these colors more than the original though.

[renegadeleader1]

making a sexy figure of a girl in a gym uniform and then sculpting her with the booty short bloomers already off really defeats the purpose of putting her in the gym uniform in the first place.

[myk]

I let this girl and her different colored "sister" variants get away from me last year. Am I crazy for wanting to hunt down all three in the expensive after-market?

DEFINITELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK:

They're simple, almost boring figures but I'm hooked on their emphasis of female perfection presented in 1/5 scale. Do any of you guys have her or her variants?

I have the "brown" version, more like a tanned repaint of the first version, still has the blonde hair. The real fishnet fabric is a nice touch.

I like the pose, it accentuates the long legs, slender body, fantastic curves, it's very elegant and artistic.

For a moment there, I thought they were reissuing them again or something due to your post.

If you've missed them, I'd say, move on. There will be more and there will be better stuff to come. I've missed out on a lot of past items, and now all I can do is try to catch the new stuff that's being advertised.

I think I'm going to move on from anime statues and start looking into some of the better Sideshow premium statues. That new Machiko statue being released next year has me hooked. The anime style (mainly the faces) just turns me away.
