ANIME Figures and Statues

[Nekko Basara]

Just got my first regular Nendoroid:

By coincidence, so did I:

Health Maintenace Organization Miku!

[treatment]

Got my Saber Alter (figma), too.

She's pretty. Quite a bit short at 135mm. And her right-arm keeps falling off at the elbow-connection...

upcoming new Megahouse Yuki?

!!!

[anime52k8]

[technoblue]

Is it Yuki or one of the Iscandar sisters? Either way, I'm in.

Edit: The flight suit theme is :wub:

i wish figure companies would wise up and realize that Macross Frontier girls in flight suits would likely outsell the Yamato girls. or at least the triumvirate should do well: Sheryl, Grace, Cathy

[anime52k8]

Macross has better looking girls, but Yamato and Muv-luv have better flights suits to put their girls in.

[Major Focker]

you got a point.

um, so maybe a crossover?

[Nekko Basara]

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I can't get over how cool the life-size figure's shoes are.

[xrentonx]

It's got shoes? I ain't noticed

[technoblue]

That life-size figure is looking really uncanny from certain angles. For instance, the legs...

Really uncanny.

[JB0]

Also the hair. Sweet Lucia, that hair...

But on the other hand, it IS life-size anthrotech.

[renegadeleader1]

RealDoll needs to take a look at that figure and understand putting a colored wig on it and with the eyes slightly asiany and larger does not make an anime girl.

(Yeah I know ewwwww lol!)

Wonderful Life for You! "Sonico" -Wonder Festival 2014 [summer] (Makuhari, Chiba, Japan) by t-mizo, on Flickr

[Major Focker]

missed out on this. other than HLJ, HS, Amiami, BiginJap, Plamoya, Rakuten, YAJ, Ebay, where else do you shop for figures?

[anime52k8]

Mandarake. They're the best place to get second hand stuff I've found.

[Marzan]

That life-seize figure. Dear God...I wonder how that much would go for (if it was even on sale?)?

[Major Focker]

depends. if it's short time or overnight.

[Major Focker]

Mandarake. They're the best place to get second hand stuff I've found.

thanks. i keep forgetting to check there.

unfortunately, still no dice for this one though

on another note, just saw this from Kotobukiya

now i'm torn between that and the GSC i preordered earlier

thoughts?

[ErikElvis]

i like the concept of the first one but the face isn't doing it for me. Id say #2 for sure.

[anime52k8]

GSC > Kotobukiya just in general.

thanks. i keep forgetting to check there.

the set you're looking for has shown up their before, but it sells out fast apparently.

also, whenever you're looking for something on Mandarake, be sure to look up the Japanese text for search terms. (myfigurecollection.net lists all that stuff BTW).

[Major Focker]

yup. big fan of GSC, but Koto ain't too shabby .

for mandarake, i pick up the japanese terms either from myfigurecollection or myanimelist.

had it in my cart some months ago but sorta dozed off while shopping for other items. when i woke up i realized i was cart-jacked.

[renegadeleader1]

Does Mandarake work for someone in the States, or is this one of those hire a proxy buyer deals?

[wmkjr]

They have various stores in Japan. Here's the website: http://www.mandarake.co.jp/ the type of language and whether you want the x rated stuff then you can begin searching for what you want. There is no proxy fees and they ship via EMS or SAL( i forgot the other shipping methods).

they sell directly to international buyers and have English speaking staff, no need for proxies.

[myk]

"Order at your own risk.." I guess they're not too confident about shipping?

They sell second hand stuff, so everything is sold as is. You the buyer assumes the risk that the item my have unidentified wear/damage from the previous owner, although I've never gotten an item from them that didn't look brand new minus a torn box corner or something similar.

Hmmm...They got something I really want so I hope that's the case for me as well...

[treatment]

kind of cute. but not something I'd actually buy. I wouldn't mind seeing more figures of Sonico's even larger breasted blonde friend.

Seems FREEing read you...

Wait. She is the "blonde friend" you're talking about and not Pochaco, right?

Edited August 5, 2014 by treatment

[anime52k8]

This is seriously the first proper figure of Fuuri they've ever done, despite her being around just as long as Sonico (who has something like four hundred and fifty million figures, not counting repaints).

[F-ZeroOne]

Regards the cost of life-size anime figures; I saw a life-size (or near life-size) Belldandy in Tokyo once that was going for around 150,000 - 200,000 yen at the time if that gives you a rough ballpark figure.

saaaaaaaaaay...

Guess Mike's september-orders will be a bit more costly if he adds this...
