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
>>3647 I use either my shitty old mobile, or a 2nd hand and also old Sony Cybershot I bought sometime ago. It's not really about the camera, but about the concept, setting and postprocessing.
>>3649 >the concept, setting and postprocessing Could you please elaborate more on this? Thanks for the reply and advice, its appreciated.
>>3650 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.
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.
This doesn't look as good as expected and I'm near broke. I'll think about it.
Face is off and boobs are small for her.
Charming.
Promising.
Suppose you could bring your figures and toys to life, at the cost of them becoming murderous monsters. would you?
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?
ITT: General collectibles / Random objects you keep as dear.
>>3519 So, how long did it take, puzzle-kun?
QiYi stickerless Time Machine. Good for its dirty cheap price. >>3568 I just solved it for the first time, assisted by a tutorial. It took me about ~45 minutes. Worst part was the beginning, solving the 2x2 corners; the rest was all fast, very intuitive and fun.
Mad in China, by Jean-Claude Constantin (solved).
This one is very rare and took me years to find it for a reasonable price: 'Biaxe', by Timur Evbatyrov. 3D-printed on commission by Evgeniy Grigoriev (grigorusha), through HKnowstore. Another absolute jewel of the collection. Constellation Six Family VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQUFGA9rraQPost edited on 12th Aug 2018, 7:25pm
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.
>>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.

Well, that was easy.
Much better.
Do you like Lego blocks? Do you own any sets or figurines? Are you fond of particular themes? Are there any sets or products based on manga, anime, video games, etc. that you ever wanted to see made? Post funny, useful or curious creations you have found. Remember to follow the no 3DPD rule.

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
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!
