I want more figures for my office actually... Anyone know a place that has a wide collection and is fairly cheap?

No one?

[LuCkymoON]

No one?

well you can try any online figure webstore that will import but it wont be cheap.

now can anyone answer my question?
What series is the mecha bunny girl from, I remember HalCali doing the single for it but I don't remember the name.

[Apharmd]

No one?

what kind of figures?

This thread makes me feel a little less nerdy about collecting figures...heh... here's a couple of them from my collection!

[Extollere]

At this rate skirts are going to be non-existent

least you forget the belt skirt:

HUH?

As for hentai figures, if I were to own any, yes, they'd be more tasteful than tentacle rape. I prefer suggestive matter and tasteful erotica over boring nude figures anyday.



Although the hardcore stuff I would never own. Same with art, I just prefer tasteful (I dunno if that word even has any concrete meaning) over hardcore and in your face explicit.

[drohne]

whatever 'tasteful' means, it probably doesn't apply to models of cartoon schoolgirls touching themselves

fyi

does the Succubus not expose her breasts? im not for having naked plastic figures around the house, but that was part of her character.

[ten5ive9ine]

I bought a hentai gashapon with intent to display it prominently in my house, seeing as I didn't have other figures. I put my coin in, opened my capsule and was greeted with a nurse urinating in a pan. That was a bit more graphic than I was aiming for.
It never went on display.

It appears to have a removable clip that makes her expose more cleavage, but as for bare breast I don't so.

[Flek]

what series is this character from?

Getsumen To Heiki Mina. But as i said i never watched the anime itself i only bought the figure because the anime whas featured many times in my favorite tv series of all time - densha otoko

for example in the opening:

Same reason I have a model of the character..... Whilst I was in Japan they were in the UFO machines but I couldn't get the normal pose (from Densha) version to save my life... I ended up getting two of her with her arms behind her....



Small image but you can see the difference.

disagree :D but tasteful is relative so it's meaning varies from person to person. It's also relative to subject matter and context, which in this case is being compared to tentacle rape figures and such. Maybe I should say it's more tame instead? I dunno.

I know so many people like you and I'm scared of all of you...

[SiegfriedFM]

I'm getting the Castlevania set, it's just a matter of where and when. I had it preordered but it seems like the Ebay person decided to forget them...

Yes, Succubus has a removable top but it's fairly permanent. They glued it on, so you may need to touch up (!) the details after, but she's modelled and painted behind it.

I'm actually thinking of getting a spare Alucard and Succubus, and repainting Al to sprite accurate (white hair, red cape) and Succubus to the Rondo version (red clothes, blonde hair).

As for the murloc figure, I have three of those from BWI. Signed by the Blizzard folks, no less :D

[Extollere]

I know so many people like you.

you do? so you must make the figures? :p

[Fuzzery]

I have no figure models as such, though I do have a terrifying collection of Psyducken if those count. I can't believe that it took four pages of this thread before I stopped ignoring it on the basis that I'm not from Greece.

wtf, my friend has a collection of over 50 psyducks, WHY IS IT PSYDUCKENN THAT IS SO POPULARZ, why are there no collection of squirtles, or charmanders, or pikachus, or something, WHY PSYDUCK

Some really old photo's of my collection...... Only shows smaller figures as well. :-/

[Shogmaster]

Yikes no. I don't even own one. But when I use to be in the Anime scene in my younger days, most of the fellow fans were really into the Hentai aspect, which was why I eventually bailed.

Why didn't you just stay away from hentai stuff?

Honestly I don't see why people get kind of touchy on the subject anyway.... It's just another random variety of porn anyway. :-/

I think it was more or less being surrounded by the Hentai lovers that creeped me out. They were EVERYWHERE in the scene. Every anime group meeting or show I was knee deep in it. Shit, I just wanted watch some giant robots and cool sci-fi stuff, LOLZ.

[ScientificNinja]

Some of you people seriously need to stop watching anime :lol

I've never actually been to one around me where it's been like that. =P

Maybe it's different between the UK and US (I assume you're in the US)..... :-/

Hurhurhurlulz..... :-/

[PjotrStroganov]

Are any of you participating in the semen on/cum on figure phenomenon? Don't be scared. You can tell us.

Op instantly made me think of that time I came in contact with 'it'.

Not just US but in the Midwest in those days.

[Kadey]

I have a few. The ones I cherish the most are my Kos-mos ones. I'm still waiting for the Altair version 4 model which is supposed to be out already damnit.

[MarkMan]

I have a bunch all over the house, I really want to display them somehow... But that's for another day...

What I REALLY want to get are...

- Genshiken set (pictured above)
- Suzumiya Haruhi in the bunny outfit with guitar
- Gyakuten Saiban 3 mini figurines
- Revoltech Yotsuba & Danboard

Here's one I keep at my computer desk...



I too, am much more a fan of Desha Otoko than of Getsumen To Heiki Mina... But I watched a few episodes with my daughter and it wasn't too bad...

Ah, I have that figure as well. I picked up an unopened box from the set and luckily actually got her. lol Don't know or care about the others in the anime. lol

Yuh there are a number of Haruhi models I want to pick up as well.... That's one of them. Buying them in the UK sucks though.

Not the best pics out there, but I do love collecting PVCs :D

Oh yeah.. it's really a horrible ratio of more in than out D: Same for my games.

i really like the lego batman figures

and gamera

and that's all i have

aside from some Lego Trucks and Car which are my weakness

My guess is that it's something to do with the fact that Psyduck is awesome, whereas Pikachu is a nasty yellow rat. Over 50 Psyducks? That's impressive. All different, or with duplicates? Haven't been able to find more than the ones in that picture in the UK. :(

I do have a Pikachu necktie, but only because they don't do Psyduck ones.

Hey guys. Keep up the great work; thread turned out much better than I expected.

As for me, I think I'm going to start a small classy collection to be kept in a glass cabinet, with good lighting inside.

Like all geek things... they can look nice when you display them well. But if you keep them just anyhow, it doesn't matter how good it looked at the store on in the brochure, or even someone elses setup, it's not going to make your place look any better.

So... in that vein; anyone have very classy models figures that they're interested in?

And is it worth while going the paints for gundam models? You can't really get them looking too good without breaking out the airbrush IMO. But it's not worthwhile to do that for one or two of them... so does anyone know a place online for pre assembled, pre painted kits with a high standard of finish to them?

I know there are department stores in singapore that display and sell this stuff (and I imagine many other places too), but it's more of an asian thing, and not so much an australian thing.

Otherwise, anyone know of a high quality veritech fighter that looks the part in all 3 modes?

[Dabookerman]

This thread has made my lust for figures grown again.

I saw some phoenix wright figures earlier, but I saw some close ups, and uhhh... Porbably not.

But, i must own some 1/6, 1/7 scale figures of Narusegawa, Motoko and Sakaki. I want some more girl figures dressed in very little clothing. Lei is a fruitening my collection a bit too much.
Also, far too many MGS figures.

Next year, I will get the 12" Raiden RAH figure, i want Old Snake, but they are expensive. also 5 7" 20th anniversary MGS figures will be coming out, at an affordable price thank god. But I must purchase them aswell.

Living in the UK sucks, because figure buying is far too expensive.

[Hydro_Alexis]

What are these?

And as for my collection i have ...

[Apharmd]

Revoltechs. Poseable small figures with really good sculpting and ratcheting joints.

There's a ton from a lot of anime/games. DMC Dante, Evangelion, Patlabor, Macross..

[Omie]

where the heck did you find those Castlevania ones? Every site I check keeps saying they will be available in 2008, it's really frustrating because I want 'em NOW

I pre-ordered them at bigbadtoystore.com as soon as they were announced. I got them last week but I was pissed off that I didn't get them sooner because I saw them at a collectors toy store at my local mall before I had them...gRrr...

so good for making your own poses cool have to look into them thanks buddy!

[Zaptruder]

Put down an order for the cammy I was talking about.

It's a good looking figure; got a chance to have a look of actual out of the box shots, and they look pretty good. The face is also better and softer looking (and thus sexier) than I first realised; although overall, still inferior to the original on display at mitumasa.com (unlike the Chun Li which is damn near identical).

http://akibahobby-a.sakura.ne.jp/2007/07/10/c005.jpg

Set me back 90 AUD including shipping. A fair bit cheaper than the Chun Li, but that one was ridiculously rare and made of polystone... which I have no idea what that is.

Edit:

Apparently Polystone is heavy PVC-stone powder compound. A bit like plaster of paris? But more durable... even slightly flexible with moderate amounts of heat. The material does explain the high cost though.

As for Cammy... the one significant flaw in this cast is the obvious seam line at her head. Can't see the rest of the figure betraying that, but oh well. At least I'm getting away with an awesome sculpt and relatively high quality cast everywhere else... I hope.

[Zaptruder]

Continuing with the theme of few but high quality figures... I don't lust after much mecha; but the one that I am eyeing is this: http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info...oducts_id=5759

RX 93-2 Hi-Nu Gundam. Another bastard rare gundam that mainly comes only via conversion kits, so you have to buy the Nu Gundam, then buy the conversion kit... and the conversion kit is pricier as well, due to the large number of subtle differences between them. Don't even know why they bother selling it as a conversion kit.

Only problem is... I don't have any intention of buying hundreds of dollars of painting and modelling equipment to do the piece justice. I mean, I'd be happy to waste the time doing it, but it's expensive enough as is.

But... does anyone know any commission model painters that could do this kinda stuff at a reasonable price to a high quality? What kind of prices should I be expecting for the work? 200? 400?

I need to get chummy with some model painter and borrow his stuff. ;o
