kajnrig Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Yo, that actually looks really badass. Is that a Neptunia thing or something? Quote

Nothing like seeing a powerful android reduced to cooking and cleaning for some high school kid. My favorite episodes of TNG were of Data helping Wesley get his chores done. Quote

JetJockey Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) I don't even know who the character above is. But I just pre-ordered Mai from Kinetiquettes. Edited April 12, 2019 by JetJockey Edited for clarity. Quote
Sildani Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Mai Shiranui from SNK’s King of Fighters and Fatal Fury arcade fighting games. Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 speaking of preorders, I recently put in for Hobby Japan's Big stick. I'm trying as hard as I can not to think about how stupid expensive she is and focusing on having my majestic 'merica boat-waifu to go with my glorious nippon boat-waifu. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27533-kantai-collection-kancolle-iowa-limited-edition.html I'm also trying to decide on this sonico. On the one hand I absolutely don't need another sonico figure in my life; but on the other hand she's so big and THICC. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27418-super-sonico-summer-vacation-ver.html Quote

I know, I just edited the post for clarity. I meant that I didn't know the character above with the monoliths. I wouldn't drop that much on Mai or any other figure without knowing who she is. Plus I have Neo Geo Fatal Fury Special and one of the King of the Fighters games to make a nice display. 8 hours ago, anime52k8 said: speaking of preorders, I recently put in for Hobby Japan's Big stick.

eggy99 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Anyone excited for the Bishoujo Street Fighter Zero 3 (round 2) Sakura? It's on my wishlist. Looking forward to the sculpt reveal for Street Fighter Zero 3 Karin! These 2 will go really well together. Quote
kajnrig Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Yeah, I'm really tempted to preorder that Sakura figure. She's always been my favorite shoto to use. I do kind of wish she had her SFV outfit, though. Quote
eggy99 Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Agree! I hope they do bisho SFV Sakura and Karin. Both of those outfits are great! Quote
JetJockey Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Sakura doesn't look tough enough for me. I'm hoping with the new Streets of Rage game coming out that someone will make a good figure of Blaze. Quote
eggy99 Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 A tough looking Sakura is better suited to the ARTFX-J line. Those more closely resemble the source material, whereas Bishoujo line accentuate the cute/moe look of the characters since they are all based on Shunya Yamashita's illustrations. Quote
kajnrig Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Maybe so, but I agree I'd have liked a different look for her. Either lean fully into her Alpha/Zero aesthetic - the kind of stereotypically cute, slim and smooth anime schoolgirl look - or lean more into her maturing look from V - more muscle definition, less cute. I think the pose could be better, too. Doesn't scream "Sakura Kasugano" quite so much as if they had her, say, doing her victory dance or something. Of all the SF Bishoujo figures, I think I'd like to get my hands on Juri the most. Everything about it looks spot on to the character while still being aesthetically "bishoujo." That or Ibuki. Or Makoto, if they ever get to her. Or Elena. God, my kingdom for a Makoto or Elena. Quote
eggy99 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) The Karin sculpt met all my expectations! It's GLORIOUS! "OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" Definitely getting Sakura V2 and Karin. https://myfigurecollection.net/item/764421 What would I want to see next in the Street Fighter X Bishoujo line? Battle Costume Cammy! SFV Sakura and Karin!

Nightbat Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 Any nice sites for new figure info? The one I've been visiting for many years has become less engaging as time went by Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 The MB Eva-02 has started off another Evangelion kick for me so I'm looking at Asuka figures again. I'm trying to decide between these two and Could really use some opinions. seated on is 1/7th scale, is about ~$145 shipped from Amazon. the standing one is 1/6, it's a hobby japan exlusive but amiami has one used for $161+shipping from japan.

Sildani Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Naginata has my vote; it really shows off Sadamoto’s character design. Quote

But no for real, I have that second figure and it is wonderful. (Managed to get mine for a relative steal (~$120 shipped) on YJP.) I agree it adheres better to Sadamoto's style than the 1/7, though I'm sure that one's not bad either, it's all a matter of taste. Edited January 4, 2020 by kajnrig Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 so yeah. I love her, but now I want more. Also, extra-THICC Sonico is in the mail. Second Child, Best Girl by Michael Ringot, on Flickr Quote

Lolicon Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) That's goddamn ridiculous. That costs more than a Hot Toys 1/6 figure. Went and bought this figure, for some reason. Edited February 5, 2020 by Lolicon Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 I'm gonna go with you bought her because she's cute. Quote
pafy6285 Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Rurouni Kenshin fans, you might be interested with Figurama's 1/6 Kenshin vs Shishio diorama which is now open for PO (limited to 950 pcs): https://figurama-collectors.com/collections/elite-exclusive/products/rurouni-kenshin?variant=31754473275497 Not really into statue territory, but there's only a few really good Kenshin figs out there, and being a long time fan of the series, just have to get his, lol. It's quite expensive though at $1100 USD, (20%, or $220 deposit) but they have payment plans up to 10 months (no interest or fees). Also if you pay thru their CC processor Payfort, they have a $45 discount on shipping. Size of the statue is 60cmx60cmx55cm so have to look for a big space to display it (by the way, they say the swords are diecast). PO is still open as of this writing. The last diorama, the Meruem vs Netero (HxH) I believe lasted 7 hours before it was closed. Edited February 15, 2020 by pafy6285 added image Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Tempting on the Amakaka Ryu No Hirameki. Does the base looks like it’s from a ship or from the roof top (anime). I do see a clock (too big for a pocket watch that Hoji carries around on the base. It’s not a serpent but a dragon. LoL Damn double Battou-Jutsu. Tempting but with the Hot Toys End Game coming out that’s gonna be a hard swing. Gonna have to settle for these guys for now unless I unload some of the Macross doubles. Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 I've been slowing down on figures but this one is a ways off and she's so absolutely darling. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?scode=FIGURE-055655&page=2117 Quote
