>>3662 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.
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.
>>3665 That base is spectacular.
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.
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
>>1417 Poor girl...
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.

>>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.
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: http://exo-force.wikia.com/wiki/Online_Comics
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
>>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.
>>3651 >>3652 Many thanks for the helpful advice, I'm really grateful for it.
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?
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.
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!
