There's the email, even if it was true Nintendo made the change to tunic they could've shown off the final product in updated images at least.

The rest of the thing looks okay I guess.
Man, that seems like BS to me. They cheaped out on the materials, imo.
Btw, we still get the normal face right? Not a fan of the screaming face.

Doesn't look too bad there. I'm gonna expect customizers will just create their own tunics for the figure.
I wish I could like revoltech as they're the only form of TTGL figures available but I just can't
Also, I wish we had a good Space King Kittan figure.
So RAH Link is the last ever RAH figure I ever purchase. Medicom are completely unreliable as far living up to the prototype are concerned. Mine hasn't arrived yet, but this is what to expect...
WTF?!

I'd believe them if they didn't have a history of botched production releases.
Wow, N-Y is already asking for 18,500yen for Alleyne:

Does Orchid Seed do re-releases?

Rarely. BBTS has her for $144.99. Still pricey but i ordered it anyway.

Yea, I didn't think she would suddenly sell out and be overpriced. Her preorder was open for literally months in several sites whenever I checked. Then a month before release, she's sold out and prices jumped.

The box I got yesterday was so big I almost fell in after the figures were out and I was taking out all of the packing paper. XD

Mine isn't that big lol, more of a normal big box. I won't lie and say I was disappointed that it wasn't bigger lol.

Ugh, F4F are so ridiculously overpriced for what you get.
Anyhoo, Danny Choo's Mirai Automatic Smart Doll will be going on sale end of the year for $900. Might need to save up. I've never been one for dolls but it's a freaking robot.

It does seem to be official. I will hold for a while, see how the release goes. And I'd prefer a Miku version. I wonder if the Shimakaze version was an April Fool's. It'd be a huge boost for the Smart Doll and the 30M$ would definitely allow him to get the license.
Metroid's Samus was $100 originally and that was the right price. Now they're just reaching even with the size.

Well to be fair, they aren't the only line that pumped out TTGL figures, but they were certainly the most prominent one. They may not be as impressive as Gundam models or the Soul of Chogokin line, but given their size I think Revoltech makes decent mecha figures.

Hey made it before the post office closed.
I am now deeply ashamed at what I have done. Even video games don't manage to remind you to be ashamed at every opportunity like this.

I preordered the Zelda statue. In the realm of figure-collecting, yes, she is overpriced. In the realm of Zelda collecting, it's actually priced about right. If you happen to look at aftermarket values of just about any of their early ~$100 statues, you know they'd be really dumb to do that price point again. I do hope that F4F someday gives it a rest with their giant polystone statues, though. We don't have the space to keep going on for much longer.
I got RAH Link, Olivia, and Mirakurun in the mail today, but I'm going to be playing too much PDF2nd to mess with them yet.

I take it that's Olivia? It looks about the same size as the box Hobby Search sent mine in.
Now to find a place to put her before I unbox her.

I put her in one of my detolfs. She takes up an entire shelf. XD

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I'm not buying anymore of these shitty cast-offs from MegaHouse. Jesus fuck. Risty's top doesn't even stretch far enough to button at the back. And thanks for not including instructions, you fucking twats.

Nah its a couple other figures, I'll probably take some pictures later after I get around to opening it.

So this was a lot of fun to open and look through. I am loving this hobby at a dangerous level.
Is he...is he making this personal? Oh shit you making this personal! D:
Nice figure man! Looking forward to seeing how it grows. Peirce the figure heaven!I'm looking into some more figures and the DBZ geek in me is taking over. What do you all think of the following?

OMG - those first two figures are awesome.

I don't really understand booby mousepads based on the quality. The booby part seems to be always made of a cheap material.
I'm a massive noob with figures and even more so with model kits however I think one of the best places to look is here. The site has hentai and the sort on it so beware
Not too familiar with the Gundam versions and stuff so I don't think I'll humiliate myself trying to find specifics for you but looking through the sites in the OP and just searching around will be the best way. Also looking here is a good idea. It generally shows you official pictures and user taken pictures as well as the date it was released, original price and user comments that will help identify how much is the going rate and if you've found a good deal.
Typing in nu gundam in the site above for example brings up all these. You could look through them, and if you see the one you like you could see when it was released, the original price, pics of it and comments that might indicate if it's rare or whatever.
I found this and this for example, but obviously I have no idea on the scale you want, price bracket or specific model etc. You're just going to do a bit of research I'm afraid unless someone here knows more about gundam figures. Sorry for not helping much.
Yeah it's my fave of the three!

Never seen the original Dragonball, only Z, but I would say it's a tossup between that hover cycle and Bulma. How big are they?
I don't think anyone here has the right to judge anyone.

Lunch is about 5" and Bulma is a bit over 8". Amazon has both in stock. Pricey, though, considering they're prize figures. Lunch goes for about $40 and the only Bulma I saw is listed at $85.
