I'll agree. I have to make it so people could look at them without me feeling too much shame. I can see it being a slippery slope once you've started though.

I think I'll get a bunch of dirty looks from friends if they come to my place and see a whole bunch of figurines of robots
and scantily clad Yoko/Ms. Yomiko/MJ
all over the place.
 
I could see myself dumping too much money into figures. Between games and Warhammer and that I wouldnt eat. Plus my GF would probably disown if I got one.

It's really hard not to order the new Jubilee
 
Godrobes? Is that what fansubbers used in place of "Goku Uniforms"?
Godrobes is the Kamuis, and Ultima uniforms is the Goku uniforms. And yeah, I just looked, there still aren't non-Kamui/Godrobe versions of Ryuko/Satsuki announced. There's a fucking bikini one for Ryuko on Amiami and that's not even in the anime!
 
That's what pissed me off about the KLK figure run, the first figures for Ryuko/Satsuki are them in the Godrobes.

There'll be plenty more. The show's popular enough where I'm sure there will be a ton of different iterations.

Luckily nobody's surprised to see my room filled with Gurren Lagann, Negima, Vampire Hunter D and One Piece posters/wallscrolls with Manga all over my shelves with robot and Digimon toys, and plushies of Cloud and Soul Eater characters.

I think everyone I know has just learned to expect to be depressed the moment they open the door.
 
I just think it's dumb the first run wasn't normal attire.

I don't think there's really any obvious starting point with the figure line because they're all different manufacturers that license different GKs based off of the art. Isn't Godrobe their combat uniform? I haven't finished Kill La Kill.
 
That's what the Hulu version called them.

Ah. Weird. I would've thought that Hulu and Crunchyroll would have used the same subs, but I guess not.
 
Figurines ehh?

Only one I got is this bakemonogatari one.



Pretty kawaii if I do say so myself :3
DONT JUDGE ME





My friend who I introduced nendoroids to him 2 years now has over 15 of them. Everytime I see him buy a new one I just tell him, I'm sorry. -_-

Too bad, I have my multi-array judging satellite dish pointing directly at your house. Luckily for you the energy company cut the electricity to my house.
 
I watched
Underwater's.

Nah, I watched the entire series on Hulu.

It's the term some fans use when talking about the Goku uniforms.

Ahh, now it makes sense. So it is a fansubber term.

Damn you for confusing me, Aaron
the Liar
!

I watched on Hulu too and on mine they said Godrobe.

Okay dammit, I'm going to Hulu right the fuck now and checking for myself. This is all too confusing.
 
I'm not really into mecha, but I would like more male figures in general. Which is why I wanted to get that Guts figure before they announced it was fucking polystone.

That would've easily broken my no-figure rule if it wasn't polystone. I'm not sure if I dodged a bullet or greatly regret it. Probably the latter since it was the best thing ever.
 
I gotta get me a Tharja, and the Momohime is great, but them prices.

I would buy a lot.more mecha, but a lot of them are crazy expensive, or I don't care for the series. I did just buy a Eva Unit-01 though.

Good male figures are hard to find, but I do have a couple of purchase I want.

For male figures I have to basically resort to Square-Enix Play Arts Kai or Figmas... which are okay, but certainly aren't the same quality, even taking into account the articulation.

I have a Dante DMC3 Play Arts Kai and a Guts Band of Hawk Figma.


Polystone?

Polystone is heavier, brittle (prone to breaking during shipping), and absurdly expensive compared to PVC figures. I think the trade-off might be some additional detail... anyway, that Guts figure will probably be $500+ as a polystone figure, and would probably be busted upon arrival. As PVC, it probably would have been sub $200.

Those DMC3 figures are ones I keep an eye on. I really wanna get ahold of them if I ever break down and start.
Hadn't seen that Guts. Going on my list :P
Polystone?
Basically it's an expensive, brittle material. It's horrible for shipping.
Edit: Beaten like an egg.

And lol at Donte
 
God damn, I think I found the non-MMO version of Sword Art Online.

It's called Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, and the main guy is pretty much Kirito.

His name is even similar to him (Kamito).

I've read the light novels of it, tho. So I'll probably watch the anime, because I'm a sad, sad person.
 
Alright, after putting up with waaaaaaay too many Hulu ads and having to search for the first time Ryuko actually says the name of her uniform...sorry Aaron, you must be mistaken. The Hulu subs use "Goku Uniform" and "Kamui".

I watched the first episode and it was really boring and generic. I'll probably watch the rest.

I really regret googling polystone because there's so many insanely hype figures/ statues. Holy jebus, but yeah they cost 200+.

BUT THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL.

Is there a primer or something for figures? Im genuinely interested in this now. If it can be a nice place to hold my money, I'll do it!

There was a 4chan guide that was pretty comprehensive and helpful, despite having an offensive name. I won't be able to search for it on this computer, but I'm sure you can find it through google.

Here's a link to the differences in figure type:

I know there are other resource links. I can't seem to find them right now.


Dont like it? how about this, maybe this is more your style.

FrienderGAF is everything and nothing. Might as well just shut down the rest of the forum, we've got it all on blast.
GAF > Internet > GAF > FrienderGAF > Internet

also someone is trying to tell me Kirito isn't as much of a shit in SAOII because he isn't overpowered this season or something

I'm just gonna drop a link to FigureGAF.

I guess we add this to the list of communities we've become.

Edit: Gatdamn it Guardian. You beat me by under a minute everytime.

Thanks a billion. Am I right in thinking this is a better investment than a savings acct? I'm legit gonna consider dumping my money into figures if I can make a great return 5-10 years down to road. Selling them and storage and security will be a pain, but hell it's a better investment than %.001
