Apparently, there is also a Kainé figure in the making:

Maybe we can even dream of a Zero fig someday?

>1/7 at most (like the previous Alphamax Sora
That makes a great deal of sense. I find 1/8 are, generally, a bit too small but a 1/7 could work. Unfortunately you're right when it comes to the pricing. I feel your pain in terms of space; I'm also quickly running out and need to invest in some new cabinets soon.

I started reading Spice & Wolf for the first time and decided I needed more Holo in my life. I preordered the Holo nendo, she should go nicely with my re-issue Holo figure.

>>3377
Don't you mean Horo?

I always wondered what a realistic situation would be to use anime patches, then I bought a second-hand Army jacket which has velcro patches all over it and then I knew.

>>3344
Backpacks (ex-military and gear queer so I love go fast shit). Also the headliner in your car proves quite effective at holding velcro patches.

Got some good Eagle Jump merch on the preorder list.

Yes, a few months ago, when family issues almost made me leave my house (and all I could have paid for was a single room with a bed, a little table and a chair). Fortunately I didn't have to go in the end; but I might sometime; I have several large collections, but worst case scenario I'm just taking with me my laptop and my Dollfie Dream.

About what shall became of my things when I'm dead, that's as inconsequential for me as my own body's fate.

I regret a few of my earlier purchases when I didn't know what I was doing, but apart from that I'm quite content. Thankfully I live by myself and rarely, if ever, have anyone around so they never cause an issue.

It is bothersome to keep figures when moving. I only have about enough to fit into a decent sized box so not many, but still it is just one more box till something pushes you over. If I had to move long distance again I would have to plan ahead and sell. In places like I'm staying in space isn't easy to come by.

I have about six large boxes of figures now. I've had most of them packed up due to being in an almost constant state of moving or having to be ready to move due to various circumstances for the last five years. It is kind of a pain to move them, but I've gotten used to it. Now if I could just reach a point where I can put them out on display again that would be pretty good.

Both of my parents accepted it with varying degrees of disappointment. I think my mom is a little embarrassed when she sees it. My dad doesn't really care.

It's the best purchase I've ever made.

Mine never found out. I'm a daki stealth master!
Pic is not my daki

>Pic is not my daki
Good, she's a cunt.

I keep her hidden under a blanket under my mattress. The downside is I can only ever hug my daki when mom isn't home. Don't like to think what would happen if she found out about my secret.

>>3365
Why not share example of figs + this thingies? I have no clue what you're talking about in practice.

>>3365
LED lightbulbs are just 3 or 4 of those stuck in a lightbulb shell and do the same job. They can be bought in any supermarket and fit a standard lamp connection.
That said cfls will do pretty much the same thing.
Any lightbulb that doesn't get hot is fine I would have thought? Is there some advantage i'm not seeing?

>>3367
I think the scenario of LEDs being used would be in a display case, to illuminate the inside. Having it that close won't hurt them, is what the argument is I believe. Having an incandescent or cfl bulb near figures might be risky considering how hot they get. If they are not up close, and just used in a lamp, they should be fine. LED strips can also be hidden more easily and mount well in cases and such.

10 watt and below cfl don't get hot enough to warrant concern in colder climates but I see your point. LED strips would make a very cost effective way of lighting any glass door cabinet.

>>3351
This is gorgeous. Congratulations on your acquisition.

>>3351
very nice.

>>3352
>>3357
Thanks. I'm glad she got a re-release and I was able to snag her. She's definitely one of the best looking figures I own. She also weighs a ton but I think that is due to her hair.

>>3327
Ah, so you will be picking item 11, the Rei Ayanami clock?

Package came in safe. Thanks Tohno.

I wonder if the rumours are true and more tape does prevent lazy customs officers from opening things? Most of the figma I've ordered over the years get searched. I used to keep the customs tape, but I ended up having too much of it, became pointless to collect.

Sorry the picture is so ass, I tried to jury rig a decent light setup and I shake like like a blender on high when holding a camera.
The Rei is really pretty, amazing how far painting has come over the decades, she's so small, yet the details are exquisite.
The EVA-02 keychain fig looked like plastic uranium glass, so I put it under blacklight, but it only sorta fluoresces, doesn't seem intentional.

>>3328
Sorry to keep you in suspense, but I didn't think it was worth posting to point out the obvious.

Sorry to say but I wont be doing the drawing this month since I'm in the middle of moving and have been very busy, and probably wont have easy access to my stuff for a while due to it going into storage for a few weeks.
Maybe I can start doing this again in October.

>>3341
No problems Tohno. I hope the move goes as smooth as possible.

Why can't Miku just be Miku?

>>3291
Because there's already a billion Miku figs based on her original standard design with every pose possible. They need to keep making more Miku figs but the original design is played out, so they redesign her and redesign her again until the designs look like a completely different character.

It looks good though.

>>3305
Half the threads here have been around for years, and no one really cares or minds the dates.

Detolfs might not be the nicest display cases out there, but it's hard finding decent display cases at prices that aren't highway robbery. you'd think there'd be more options for storing collectibles, but it just isn't a big enough market in the west to warrant mass produced cases with variety to pick from. Generally they're produced more for businesses and professional settings which brings large price tags, or are custom made which is also pricey. Of course if you're willing to settle there's always china cabinets designed for old women to store glass wear in, those do the job but tend to be very cumbersome and don't portray collectibles very well due to door trim blocking views and probably come with poor quality lighting. Honestly I'd say a couple Detolfs are better than a granny cabinet or two.

>>3306
Words of wisdom. I was looking around for some nicer cabinets and they generally started at the $500 mark, some even getting up into the thousands. While I love my figures and want to take care of them I can't justify spending that much on a display cabinet.

>>3307
It's still worth checking out second hand stores from time to time, Never know what you might find. I got a pretty decent one myself that might have come from a business setting for like $100-$150 or something. The shelves were missing but that was no big issue to replace. That said you may want to be wary of acrylic or Plexiglass display cases. The case I just mentioned is made out of something like that, and it cracks/pops very loudly all the time and has been doing so for years. I've kind of gotten used to it, but very loud random poping sounds could easily drive some people insane.

>>3308
That's definitely a good idea and I'll keep that in mind next time I have to expand.

i'm scared if i take my soft things anywhere they will become damaged
