Since there doesn't seem to be one per say exactly. how about a thread just for general photos of figs? bonus points if you took the pic yourself.
/dump To think I almost didn't buy her. Im so glad I did. It's simply gorgeous.
>>3622 They look great. I really like the designs for the girls from Love Plus. They're quite timeless in my opinion. I've been putting together the game's artbooks when I can find them at a decent price and within my tight merch budget.
>>3623 That's great, man. I'm also still waiting for a Takane figure shipped long ago (1/8 Konami), and own an old garage kit of her that I might try doing someday.
>>3625 Very nice. The 1/8 should be impressive. In my limited experience with merch, I've been quite impressed with Konami's build quality for things since my main exposure to their physical product is trading cards and accessories at the card shop I play Magic at where the official Konami products tend to be pretty unimpressive compared to similar products. I expected far cheaper construction in their artbooks than what I actually got.
OK, so, we'll dedicate this thread to all the stuff coming out. Figures and goods that are being announced, things we plan to buy, or things we just plan to drool over. Preorders just went up for an extremely sexy Motoko Kusanagi by Kaitendo. Scheduled for a late-July release and sculpted by Tsuyoshi Takahashi, this is an extremely Masamune-faithful rendition... and I will not be able to afford her, sirs.
>>3605 >>3606 I'm not normally into poseable figures anymore but these are great. I tried to get that Jack Frost one ages ago but couldn't so I'm glad they're re-releasing it.

Would you care for some bento?
Made some custom base boards for my town. Still only got two buildings built so far out of the planned seven, but I'll get to em eventually.
>>3589 Very nice work on the road. It looks better than it would look with actual Lego pieces.
>>3589 That is pretty neat, Tohno. I commend your dedication and attention to dettail.
What weeb junk have you guys acquired recently besides than figures?
>>3383 The way you worded that makes it sound like I gave you a Fumo, rather than it being a photo I took of a fumo I recently got per your request.
>>3385 Maybe it was intentional.
>>3386 My mistake. I should have worded it better.
Picked up a couple of artbooks on sale a month or so back. They arrived today. I'm very impressed with the build quality of the one on the left. The individual books are hard bound in canvas with embossed lettering on the covers and feel really solid and better than the lightweight pulpy hardcovers that I have in some parts of my 'serious' library. Also, apologies for the file bloat, I forgot to downscale it after bringing it off my phone, which is also why the picture quality leaves much to be desired I suppose. Cheap phone, cheap camera.Post edited on 30th May 2018, 6:44am
This will be a doll thread, post your dolls, different outfits you might have etc. I'm thinking of buying this next. http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=FIG-DOL-2743&template=default/product/e_display.html
I ordered the Luka DD today. Damn is she expensive. >>3578 I would recommend buying the internal frame form Obitsu or Volks. >>3579 thanks
>>3581 >I ordered the Luka DD today. Are you going to sell the other doll now, or keep both? >Damn is she expensive. Worth every penny though, that doll is very pretty.
>>3581 >I would recommend buying the internal frame form Obitsu or Volks. This will be a 60cm/SD size elastic strung BJD, and not a vinyl fashion doll with an internal skeleton.
>>3582 >Are you going to sell the other doll now, or keep both? I plan to keep both dolls. Wouldn't one doll be lonely? >Worth every penny though, that doll is very pretty. Absolutely. I'm type person that hates spending that much that I even can have physical pain I spend to much money. >>3583 Makes sense. Didn't think about resin dolls.
ITT: General collectibles / Random objects you keep as dear.
>>3502 That looks like a gift you should give to someone who you'd like to commit suicide. Even the guy in the video went on suicide watch with a single hand twist.
>>3503 I haven't scrambled it yet either. I wanna take some precautions first.
QiYi Pentacle Cube. Nice looking cube, specially for satanic tastes. A pain in the ass to scramble though, and I figure the solve will be similarly tedious.
>>3519 So, how long did it take, puzzle-kun?
How many of you guys are into building Garage Kits? Got any tips for beginners on extremely tight budgets? like what materials/tools to get and so on?
>>2569 not started it yet. Working on that M4 right now.
Started working on this the other day. It's not an offical GUP item, just a generic m33 from testors I got for like $10. Funny thing is I think the promo images seen here http://myfigurecollection.net/item/137279 for the Platz version are also just using the testors version. noticed it from the squared part at the front bottom which is supposed to be round on the real deal. also the version in the anime has container boxs in the back which aren't on the testors tank. Finally there's the weird part that kinda sticks out behind the turret.
I want to start (slowly but steady) collecting model and garage kits. Any recommendations regarding resources, where to start, buy and price guides, etc.?

What do you guys do with old stuff that you don't really like anymore, or possibly bought really early on for cheap? I can't sell them on craigslist or anything, but I'd feel bad throwing them away. I'm only really concerned about the crab one but at some point I want more like the 1/7th size ones in the back, and I think it would look nice to have all my figures be similarly sized.
>>3556 I usually stuff them in a cardboard box and bury them underground. Once they pile up I gather them all together and throw them away. Don't feel bad throwing them away OP, give them a big hug and a goodbye.
>>3559 That feels almost cruel.
It's put into a care package (with manga, old DVDs and flash drives filled with downloads) and dropped off at a nearby orphanage for Christmas. They really do appreciate the stuff, and it makes me feel better knowing I've found a good home for my figs.
>>3561 That's very nice of you. What have the said about the flash drives and their contents though?
Post pictures you took of your soft cuties.

An online buddy made me a custom fumo based on my waifu! They also sent me one they made a while back based on my ave. seen here; >>3396 He's clearly got some real skill with the needle. Thanks!
ITT: stuff you wish you had bought at the right moment, and now is nowhere to be found/way too expensive to acquire ;_;
>>2914 Yes: Schlitzie or 'pinhead'. I treasure that movie.
I know it is stupid but if I ever wanted a hand spinner it was this one. I could probably just put a sticker on any hand spinner but still.
>>3410 I don't know much about spinners (never even touched one) but those look like it would be shit quality and wouldn't spin too well.
>>3410 >>3411 But it has LED!
I'll just be listing what I think of each of the online shops I brought from. These are all just opinions. Otacute They throw in free stuff, but some of their prices are unreasonable. Overall, their prices are still tolerable. I bought a bunch of stuff once and they gave me a MtG life counter and a calendar. Plus, unlike the others, preorders and already in stock items can be shipped together rather than shipped separately, because I'd like them to ship all my merchandise at once, to save up on shipping costs. So far, I think I'll be buying from there more often, even if my first SAL shipment from there took more than 3 weeks to arrive. Plus, it's all conveniently priced in USD. Amiami I forget how many times I fucked up there and they still think as if it were nothing. (I ordered a bunch of shit multiple times there, got pissed off at the shipping rates, but decided not to pay them; eventually I did buy some deck boxes from there, so it was fine in the end) Prices were decent, but I don't like the way they handle their payments and shipping. Hobby Search The only good thing is the points collection system in which you save up points for discounts and shit like that. Otherwise, most of the time, their prices are somewhat steep, but I'd buy from there if I couldn't get something from any of the other two. I've checked some other English-language stores, but their prices were extremely unreasonable at best.
>>204 >receiving a smelly hotglued fig That scares the shit out of me. And I dislike buying in JPY. It seems that with each passing day, I'm getting less and less for what I paid for.
Well, Necro got the only three I bother to order from anymore, however I HIGHLY recommend amiami over any of the others. They are the fastest and the most reliable, with the easiest staff to get along with. Their prices are good, too. Except for shipping... NOW. EMS shipping is butthole rape. However, there is an air of uncertainty about SAL that I can not come to terms with. All my shit I've gotten via SAL has come to me looking like it was shipped from Afghanistan instead of Tokyo. So, ya gotta weigh your options.
>>222 This. Yet, I'd like to reiterate that I don't want to get assraped by shipping from AmiAmi and the exchange rate. So I'd much rather deal with Otacute than any place that deals in JPY, even if I ended up with a fucked up box. Plus, I mostly order tcg-related materials anyway, aside from cheap figs that are on sale.
