the latest pics aren't looking so well, so I'm glad I didn't get caught in preordering it. bought this one instead for 1/5 price, including shipping.

Gathering's 2B knock off is pretty damned good, especially for such a small fig.

Announced for Gathering.

Fumos, GuP tank figures, a Last Exile Fam the Silver wing model kit and I ordered a body-chan but that is technically a figure I guess.

Does anyone have towel merch? I ordered a random pack of merch and got this, but don't know how or where to display this.
I'm afraid to use her like a normal towel because then I'll fuck it up with my gross human wetness and junk.
Been thinking of hammering some nails and then putting paper clips up to hang her but that feels ghetto.

I have two with my waifu on them. I simply hung them up like wall scrolls.

>>3692
>>3693
I am curious as well, for something like this or a daki cover being hung up for display, how have you gone about actually hanging them up? What about enclosing them inside of something to prevent them from getting dirty?

>>3679
I highly doubt the money you would make would offset the cost of travel.

>>3680
Possibly replying to the wrong person but yes, they likely wont make a fraction of their expenses back. Flights to and from japan, at least for me, would be $1,000+. I used to sell figs at a decent pace, but even on my best months I was making maybe $100 in profit. That's not enough to pay for a trip to japan, not enough to live on, it would barely cover my electric bill.


btw, I don't really see how this is related at all to figma. Really should have been given it's own thread.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

They've been making figma boxes is a fairly uniform size for the past ten years or so, with hundreds of figs in two main sizes (save for special cases). Now They've decided to start making the boxes smaller, likely to save money/space in shipping. They're both thinner and shorter than the standard box, but just as thick. I have to say, I found this a bit annoying.

This looks pretty cool. I wonder how long the gloss finish would hold out before scratches start being noticeable.

>>3663
Indeed: many of these are meant for collecting purposes, not to be solved again and again. I just solved it once (pretty easy) and that's about it.

Well, that was easy.

Much better.

Back when the alter strike witches came out I thought they were awesome but couldn't see myself dropping the coin on them. Now they're at bargain bin mark down prices so I got a couple, but getting more than one at a time seems like a mistake because holy heck I forgot how big those boxes can be. Really jacks up the shipping costs

Very nice work on the road. It looks better than it would look with actual Lego pieces.

That is pretty neat, Tohno. I commend your dedication and attention to dettail.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the old Exo-Force theme from 2006, considering it was based off mecha manga.

>Manga Lego characters
>Cool mechs
>Online manga comics
This theme had everything

>>3668
Oh and it even had these badass robots hellbent on enslaving the human race.

Link to the comics for anyone that's interested:

>the concept, setting and postprocessing
Could you please elaborate more on this? Thanks for the reply and advice, its appreciated.

Not him but I've also been using a cyber shot for years. With some photo editing the images look perfectly fine. I Just recently bought an expensive dslr and the difference in quality honestly doesn't seem worth it.

>>3650
From my experience, the most importat thing is to make it look it look like the dolls are actual persons on the setting, rather than toys on some rare environment. Follow your intuitions on that regard and you should be fine.

>>3651
>>3652
Many thanks for the helpful advice, I'm really grateful for it.

No.
Stupid fucking thread from a bumbling retard OP.

>>2472
Provided they don't harm me, fuck yeah. Who wouldn't want an army of toys at their command?

I would, only if they had the same powers and special abilities specified in their characters. I would not want my Flandre figure coming to life only to be mowed down in a hail of bullets.

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.?

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?
