If I was to acquire some figs from someone who smoked, what would be a good way to remove the stink? would it even be wise to buy them in the first place? Smoke of any kind can be harmful to figures right?
Get a look at them first to see if they don't have that subtle dark grime that chain smokers' things normally have. Maybe you could try to use those bathroom odor things in a room with your figures in it so it could try to neutralize the smell on the surface, not sure.
I have one that smelled mildly of smoke but it gradually went away after a couple of weeks. Basically, if the figure looks fine and you don't mind the smell of smoke (which I don't) then it shouldn't be a problem.
Does anyone here collect 3A?
Sorry, no.
in the thumbnail i thought she maybe had a cute little belly overhanging her waistline, but it turned out to be wrong. anyone know of any cute figs with cute bellies?
If you're looking for tubby girls try the super sonico figs. they seem to come out fairly regularly.
She looks great the way she is though, OP.
My local Barnes and Noble started selling figma and gunpla stuff. You guys should check yours out, if you have one locally. I went in to pick up some manga and I spent more than I should have
>>2838 I'll take a look next time I'm around a b&n
>>2838 I was around a b&n today so I went in to check. Turns out they do sell figures. Stuff was Sailor Moon, Naruto, DBZ, and Gundam. They had them on some shelves and some display cases for them too. Didn't check the prices. Was pretty close to the front entrance of the store too, wasn't hard to find. This is in maryland. Also might add that they had some action figures from american series in the same area.Post edited on 7th Feb 2015, 2:27pm
>>2837 >Do they really sell figma there? Yeah but the displays they have piss me off because they are all out of scale.
I checked my Barnes and Noble last week. They had some figures but the only Japanese ones were three Sailor Moon figures; the rest were western super heroes and the like.
Might as well make a figma thread. I'm about to get this figma (within two-three months, probably). It's still in 'preorder' because I preordered something else along with it.
Here's something interesting I just noticed. Both Rider and Marisa read "069" on their box. Officially Marisa is listed as being figma 068. I wonder how they let that slip.
Hell yes. I'ma preorder this so hard. I read this has some DLC for ordering from GSC directly, do you guys know if GSC ships to the west? >7,222 jpy GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
>>2806 It's probably made with nano machines.
>>2806 Man, that muzzle flower.
I haven't cleaned my stuff in a long time, and now they all have a thick layer of dust and crap. They look like they have freckles. Is there any way to undo the damage? I looked at a bunch of guides and used water like they recommended, but it didn't change much. How (and how often?) do you guys clean them?
I need cleaning after this pose
I use compressed air. That's okay, right? I hope there's no crazy long-term chemical reaction. I have a closed cabinet, so I only clean once a year at best.
>>2744 I've never had issues with compressed air. I would let them air out just in case though.
>>2745 Yeah I do let them air, it's next to a window as well. That's most for my own safety, though.Post edited on 26th Jun 2014, 8:01pm
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?
>>2565
>>2568 Very nice. Share your progress, please.
>>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 $10. Funny thing is I think the promo images seen here http://myfigurecollection.net/item/137279 for the Platz version are also just using the testors version. noticed it from the squared part at the front bottom which is supposed to be round on the real deal. also the version in the anime has container boxs in the back which aren't on the testors tank. Finally there's the weird part that kinda sticks out behind the turret.
please do not judge her on her resin, she is japanese too you know!
I like her. She looks gentle and a bit melancholic. You can always contribute with more of her to the general doll thread in this board, if you want.
Anyone know if there are high-quality tomoko kuroki figs out there? I'm extremely new to figs and fig collecting, so any tips/info on where to look would also be appreciated.
I wouldn't really call her high quality but Sega released a PM figure recently. I'm actually bidding on her right now. She's dirt cheap but I think she'll look cute paired with the Nendoroid.
>>2629 looks pretty nice
>>2629 It's good! SEGA actually does great and affordable works. However, right now I'm totally broke; will search for it later.
>>2595 yea, it cost me like 40$ to ship a hobby magazine with a little p0-1 from horizon.
ちぇえええええええええええええええええええええええええええん！
Speaking of Chen, I like this one too.
>>350 I beg you to not post kigurumi. They make my dreams turn into twisted Hideaki Anno affairs... but with more gayness.
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.
