They still do some bafflingly stupid shit though. Like the MG Aile Strike RM that was just released has manipulators straight from 1995. Just a bunch of exchangeable pieces. I would have been okay with paying extra if it came with the newest Master Grade hands like the ones Sinanju Stein had. Every joint of every finger should move in 2013.
Oh and then the Sinanju OVA version that came a bit after Sinanju Stein had old hands too. Just... what.

Been stoked about Junko since Wonfes, she looks gorgeous. I'm still worried about how QC will turn out though seeing as Algernon Product have pretty much zero track record beyond some doughnut cat keychains and a single statue a couple years back.

Also, here's hoping we'll see Phat Company's Dangan Ronpas this WonFes Summer.

So glad I'm switching to AmiAmi, just now received notice from HobbyFan that they got some Kongikus in stock and will be charging my cc soon.

Subscribed. Hoping to see many good figures posted in the future.

Love the feel of a new OT! :D Great freakin job dude!

Ooh, nice new thread! Subbed.

Xiaoyu looks cute, but where are the shorts??? Was this really necessary?

Subscribing to the new thread. RIP old one.

Awesome OP!

Ordered Tharja from NY. This won't end well.

Also missed my shipment of Figma Kirito, gonna pick it up later.

Plastikitty seemed to speculate that Algernon Product have ties with Yamato, who used to manufacture Yoshizawa Mitsumasa's sculpts(except I-no). If true that bodes well for Junko's quality. Not sure what they were basing that on but fingers crossed, eh? Glad there's more Dangan Ronpa figures coming though, and Phat! do nice work.

You'll have to ask Shunya Yamashita that:

Nice OP. I assume johnsmith is happy he no longer needs to repeat himself when new people pop in. ;)

Great and informative OP. Thanks :).

That was definitely one of the impetus for a new OT.

And thanks for the kind words about the OT, everyone.

No love for the model kits in OT?! :(

Type up something or find me a guide and ill stick it in. I don't know anything about them.

Great OP! Love to browse this thread. Only big items I have ordered have been the Sheryl Nome [Max Factory] and Belldandy/Holy Bell statues.

All these Tharja posts are making me want to spend more money though.

Pretty much nailed the op. Good job Johnsmith!

Maybe a list of MFCers in the first post? Since there aren't that many?

Very lovely thread!

Currently sitting on following AmiAmi pre-orders:

• Tharja Figure
• Isabelle Nendoroid
• Monokuma Nendoroid
• Yoko + Nia PSG Arrange Twin Pack

I'm desperately trying to find ways to get the Daft Punk Figurarts, since it seems like they'll be exclusive to Bandai's Japan store.

But hey, I'm just a lurker :P

Also I meant to post this a while ago. My best friend bought me one of my holy grail figures for my birthday earlier in the month. She won't tell me where she got it, but the seal is intact even. I was beyond surprised:

Give me links or type up something or link me to a guide and I can put it in the ot. I don't collect them so I know nothing about them.

Wouldn't mind trying to get that PVC Panty either, I have a large 20cm figure that my girlfriend got for me when she went to MegaCon but I'm pretty sure it's one of those cheap ones you get at Japanese Arcades since the packaging had a Sega watermark on it.

For all it's worth, she gets a 20% discount and goes for 9595 yen on BiJ. I can agree it's still one despair-inducing price, though (hurr hurr).

Yes, finally a new thread and with a proper title! Nice job on the OT.

Nice OP! yay new thread I have been really behind on my figure news. I have been trying not to look at new stuff because I need to save money :P

So Tharja made me buy the game.. now I need to find time to play it. Damn you Tharja!!

Best friend, housemate and now personal hero(herione?). Kinda scares me that somebody knows me that well :p

I bought Dangan Ronpa, ripped it, applied the translation patch, found my PSP and CFW'd it because of that Junko figure. Thank god the game is good.

Only reason I held back on those is because if I bought one, I'd have to buy them all.

haha I'm only getting the ones I want. I'm passing on Lust and Mammon. Got envy, and I'll get this lucifer if I can't happen to get the other lucifer.

Nice new thread. I don't post often, but lurk and visit every day.

Also, I am an anime figure guy, but I think the banner should include 1 Hot Toys Iron Man or Batman or something because they actually had a pretty significant presence in the last thread.

I'm glad to hear that the Tharja figure is creating fans for the Fire Emblem series [especially Awakening, it's amazing].

Enjoy!

Nothing wrong with that!

...Well, aside from the financial aspect.

It appears as though I'll be collecting the Seven Deadly Sins collection...twice. I loved that artwork the second I saw it, so when I saw that they were releasing a figure based on it? How could I resist!?

New thread is good, I was hoping with a new thread would be less of a focus on anime girls statues, but I guess I'll just go back to lurking on occasion.

still haven't bought anything new since completing the Straw Hat Crew POP a couple years back

and hopefully I can keep it that way unless they add another crew member

(it's been very tempting to buy all the post-timeskip redesigns though)

You should, the time-skip figures are great [well, aside from Luffy, he's still "decent" though].

Expect to sell a kidney [or two] for Franky, though. He's going to cost me around $230 to have him shipped. -_-

Despite the figure being Japanese-focused, as mentioned in the OP any [and all] figure collector's are welcome!

Do not feel as though you need to lurk. Contribute! You are among friends.

looks good, I approve

If anybody wants to put together a better one, or wants one representing their interests (action figures, mechs, transformers, vinyl toys, anything else) make one, or send me a pm with the 4 pics you'd like to use and I'll put one up for you.

It can be troublesome. I keep telling myself that I'll lay off any further pre-orders until I receive the current ones, and then figures such as Tharja [and now Yagyu Jubei - Kirameki Hakugin no Kenki ver.] come along. Regardless, I do make some passes on figures, so it's not as though I purchase everything I like. It doesn't help that my tastes in figures are pretty broad, so a lot appeals to me.

Still, it's all about quality over quantity! It looks to me as though you have quite a few quality figures on pre-order yourself, namely Tharja, Dark Elf [Regular/Dark Skin Ver.], Satonaka Chie, and Enoshima Junko. Also, that Samus figma is INCREDIBLE!

Speaking of my earlier mention of passes, Enoshima Junko was one of them. She's still in my rear-view mirror, though. I might end up reversing [quickly] and pre-ordering her. Every time I look at her I want her more...

my preorders:

http://myfigurecollection.net/profil...=category&pp=1

• Fire Emblem: Tharja
• Nisemonogatari: Araragi Karen
• Tengen Toppa: Nia Teppelin Magical version
• Oreimo - Gokou Ruri [Shironeko]
• Sword Art Online - Asuna [Figma]
