These seem like cute.
Pre orders for Sonico open up on the 22nd.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/vertexblog/archives/48355069.html
Absolute beauty.
Do you think her % discount will be reduced closer to release date?
![e_CellShirt_large[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/1LJVi8N.jpg "e_CellShirt_large[2].jpg")
Has anybody ever bought a shirt from funimation.com? I like this design but I'm not sure about the quality.
>>140400986
Isn't that what usually happens?
>>140400946
I think he is the best-looking so far. Mikazuki looks good as well, but his design looks a bit gaudy. All the other sword scales are fucked up in one way or another.
>>140400986
Possible. Though I'd discourage it if you're really gunning for her.
See the note from Amico.
>Notice Regarding This Item: In cases of manufacturer stock shortages, pre-order items will be offered on a first come, first served basis.
>>140401062
I think the discount is usually cut for popular figures after the manufacturer's order deadline has closed. The less popular ones with leftover stock maintain their discount.
>>140400946
Now I just need them to make a fucking nendo.
>>140401101
I've always thought Mikazuki's head looked a bit weird, but this one is perfect.
>>140401101
He's gorgeous. His pigeontoed feet and the folds of his clothes are so thoughtful. I love the basic "samurai" look Yasusada has. His hair is so fluffy and well sculpted, but the draping ribbon on his sword looks like it could break easily.ITT autism
Art books are nice.
I'm really looking forward to getting my smug cat.
>>140401282
Nemesis, Mea, Kotegawa, Mikan, all three Deviluke sisters, Yami and Haruna.
Wait, where's Run and Murasame?
Save me from this hell. I still have to PO the new Alter one before TOM dies.
>>140401233
>draping ribbon on his sword looks like it could break easily
It really does. It looked so flimsy on the stream, for a second I thought it was going to fall off.
>>140401585
the absolute madman
haven't been here in a while. What's this "TOM dying" meme?
>>140403164
TOM is stopping free EMS or something, people predict this will be their downfall.
>>140403218
They're a business that's been around for around 5 years if im not mistaken.
If they're cutting free EMS, its because they know it won't hurt them.
Or at least, one would assume so.
>>140403306
>If they're cutting free EMS, its because they know it won't hurt them.
Or because it's they can't afford the free EMS anymore. Hopefully they go bankrupt.
>>140400946
>sculpt a tomboy girl
>call it a guy
When will this madness end?
>>140400946
Why get a boy that looks like a girl Shinsengumi when you get a straight up girl one?
>>140403382
Most of their figures are sent to their US warehouse and then sent out 2-3months later than the Japan official release date. So most of their EMS orders come from people buying other overpriced junk.
Personally I don't use them unless they have a released figure on sale and even then there haven't been any recent sales. Who knows? They might be gone by next year.
>>140403775
Why do you care? He's still got his butthole, you can fuck that.
Toy's works bunny suit Syaro.
How was toys works quality?
>>140403900
I was going to get both but they're not the same scale so now there's no point.
On the bright side, now I don't have to own a Saber.
>>140400986
why I'm so poor?
>>140400986
Are there more figures with sexy shoulders?
why stores allow cancelling besides HLJ?
How do I remove creases from tapestries?
I imagine an iron would burn it
>>140404444
Put a thin cloth on it before ironing.
Are Alter and GSC the best manufacturers?
>>140404444
Iron the tapestry with a paper towel over it
>>140404495
Something like a dress shirt? I don't think I have anything thinner
>>140404523
Max Factory and Flare are the best.
THICC
Where's my pork nendo GSC!!!
>>140400932
Sonico has some chubby cheeks
I think shes getting fatter because she's hanging around porkchop
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1042272841&ref=list
damn
>>140400986
>That single peg
Damn, I hope she doesn't have the same leaning issues that Alphamax Nero had.
>>140401282
Is there any more information on this. It says it comes with 10 illustration extras, but I'm not sure if those are shop bonuses or not. Should I order it from Amazon or wait to see if there's exclusive bonuses from the usual places.
>>140405478
Alter figures usually have a core ABS or metal wire frame. So it's less likely that they lean.
Nero's lean can be fixed with super glue though.
>>140401585
>using tom
Is the higher price worth the free shipping?
>>140404116
Can't wait to see her painted.
>>140406248
I never use TOM unless it has free shipping, shit load of points and a discount coupon. The price I paid is at least 20-30% less than that.
>>140406248
right now it's about even with EMS. If the yen becomes any stronger then it will be cheaper.
>>140406486
They usually make it so that at most you can only get 20% discount in combined point and coupon. Coupons expire before they do a 20x point return.
>>140405113
>left arm missing
Well that's a huge fucking shame. I wonder if there's a way to get a spare left hand
>>140406492
And how much later do you think you would receive it from tom (compared to ami)? Couple months?
>>140406680
it depends what it is and what time of year really. If you order something for a november release then it might take until January or February. It's also not everything. Some things ship from Japan on release day.
>>140406850
So you're paying about the same on both sites, but one of them might be delayed a couple months. Should be clear which is the better option.
At this time Im planning on getting the Patissier Pochaco and I also want a Sonico
I like the Macaron tower better much better, but I feel like I should get the Patissier just so it matches
I wish I wasnt so indecisive
>Payment request
OH YEAH
Slutterfly No.3 is back up on AmiAmi if you had missed her.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-015123
>>140407066
The head looks better on macaron, but both look too slutty.
>>140407300
>too slutty
Isnt that the point of these characters?
Is a DHR6000 pillow worth the price? I've only ordered from royal pillow
>>140406968
There are a lot of other factors to consider as well. If you were smart you wouldn't just disregard them and be willfully ignorant about it.
One of them is the fact that if there's a defect you can get the defect resolved. If you message amiami about some paint smudges they'll tell you "sorry there's nothing we can do about it" half the time, and you also have to message them within 5 days of receiving your package.
>>140407341
I guess so? I'm not really interested in slutty figures.
>>140407298
What are the chances of any of the trio being reprinted in the future, anyways?
Does the 1/12th Native Alice fit figma heads or is this just a balancing act.
I don't care for T2, but a lewd official body for figma sounds pretty neat. Not sure if it's worth 9.5k though.
>>140404646
Why is there shit spewing out from the sides? She really sitting on a toilet? The fatfuck. How disgusting.
>>140406968
>paying the same
>>140404646
Its reindeer horns on a snowman
How the fuck did you see any of that
>>140407298
Annabelle's hair was fucking ugly when I got her. Passing on this one for now
Delayed until May.
>>140400986
Generally the opposite.
I hope we get a Santa Alter figure this year.
>>140400986
I now have 6 Sabers on order. Wtf.
Delayed until May.
>>140408299
Still the most lickable figure i've ever seen. That flatness turns me into a beast.
>>140400946
That mole is an overkill
>>140407837
>>140404646
This is a GK, right?
>>140408808
Yes, sadly
Is there a method to getting things offically made?
I think I heard of some figures being Garage Kits then by popular demand got made into some offical merch once a Brand buys the rigths
>>140408882
There's no real way for consumers to impact that. You can hope e2046 makes a bootleg recast though.
>>140409145
I thought them Elin figures were all originally a Garage Kit, then at a Wonfes they were licenced up
>>140400986
>15000 anime dollars
Have Alter really lost their fucking minds? They could at least be a bit more subtle about ripping people off, there's no fucking way this shit should be more than 10-12 thousand
>>140409187
pretty much. person you responded to was completely wrong. popular kits often get official releases. it's just that many popular kits can't be mass produced and they'd rather not release an official product that's worse than a kit.
the alter lala that just got released is a popular example of that. And a couple popular GK manufacturers like grizzlypanda, figureneet, and ryunryuntei are converting some of their popular GK into figures, or at least transferring their GK style to official releases.
>japanese car ads as packing paper
Man these are some crazy deals on mitsubishis, nissans and suzukis.
>>140409261
Because people buy it no matter what, including people in this thread.
>implying we won't see a fuckton of preorder pic with that Saber on it
>>140409560
>>140406101
Well there's the full image if you haven't seen it yet. Besides that I have no clue if there are order bonuses but I don't think Venus had any, so none would be a safe bet.
Didn't even have to think about it.Is it November yet?
>>140404116
finally some variety among the bunnies
More to add to my backlog
>>140409749
>paying this much for sabershit

>>140409910
What do you like?
>>140409990
>>140409910
And I'd gladly do it again
>>140410093
FUCK OFF
>>140410121
You seem upset.
>>140410215
it's because of retards like you that Alter gets away with their ridiculous prices so it's understandable
>>140401343
Shes great. The face alone is worth it.
>>140410271
they shouldn't be so greddy, I mean 14K would have been fine but 15,8k is ridiculous.
>>140410345
It's very clearly 14300.
>>140410370
I'm talking about list prices, oh well it was 17,064 JPY, they're fucking crazy.
>>140410411
The extra torso with arms (it can't be just arms because there are no seams on the arms) for the sleeveless pose and extra arm parts for the sleeved sword pose most be inflating the price a lot.
>>140410545
don't even try to justify them I have gotten scales much more detailed for far less asking for 17K is a joke.
>>140410588
if you could get rich by making the same figure over and over again then selling it to retards with shit taste, wouldn't you?
>>140410631
Sounds like Idolshit, Sonico shit and fujoshit to me. What's so different?
>>140410709
don't forget mikushit
>>140410709
It's all the same shit. Originalshit, lewdshit. Nothing is special and it's all meant to sell at a profit. These merchants and companies are not your friends.
>>140403900
I like the pose but that shoulder seam has me worried.
>Up to 61% off "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" and "Steins Gate: The Complete Series"

>>140411436
Why did you steal a shopping basket?
>>140411803
>>140411673
I don't hate saber or miku but i really wish they would slow down with making new figures of them all the time. They already have so many nice figs made of them already.
>>140409261
They seem to be pricing to expected demand. It's much more expensive than Master Altria for example.
>>140403164
>>140403218
>>140403306
>>140403382
Someone on the other thread posted a link to another shop (hobby link japan?) and they said that Japan's post office will raise EMS prices like in June. It's probably related to that.
>>140411880
This will never fail me to laugh

>>140415624
She's only 200 where Japs don't want to buy it for fear of importing a bootleg.
Everyone else she's 300-400. If they ever translate grand order she'll probably spike again.
>>140416508
amiami ranking is clicks, not orders. that's why oppai mousepads rank high. people don't really order them. you could probably abuse it and get some retard item on there, but they probably approve it every day, since it changes at set time.
If using BiJ's forwarding service, do you need to select repackaging if you want them to undervalue it? Because they wouldn't actually be changing the packaging.
>>140416844
>do you need to select repackaging if you want them to undervalue it
Nope, just write in the comment section you want them to undervalue and they'll do it.
>>140416883
Okay thanks. No reason to waste 500 yen then.
>>140417006
Don't forget to tell them the exact amount you want on the invoice so you're sure you won't get fucked by customs.
>>140417036
Yeah, I've ordered from them before, I just never used the forwarding service yet.
What orders are you all waiting on/just received from April?
>>140417514
A phone case. Supposedly it'll fit my phone, but if it doesn't I'll just use it as a collectible until I upgrade.
>>140417619
Standard size case. Should fit all smart phone in the market. Might be over sized for iphone5 user.
>>140417514
This shirt. It's the second one I get.
>>140417619
I don't even own a smartphone but I've order pic related.
>>140417651
Based off the measurements I took of my current similar style case it should fit, but my phone is just a bit taller than it's suggested phone size of 5.5 inches.
>>140417514
Received this cutest Tama few days ago.
>>140417514
I'm waiting for Thai Miku and got ballerina Asuka today.
>>140417514
Just the nendoroid wedding set I guess.
>>140417790
Ordered the Lily version for collection propose. White case usually get dirty from everyday use.
Might get a Nero one later if they still have stock for my HTC One M8. The case size is L164mm x Approx. W88mm. Should work even if phone is slightly over 5.5 inches.
>>140417777
I like Alter's. It has some nice contrast going on with that yellow in the back ground. Lily's and Nero's were nice too.
>>140416543
>>140407785
Feels good man.
>>140417514

Bought this from Crunchy, still haven't heard a word on the order.
>>140418588
enjoy the wait
>>140418610
Thanks. First time ordering from them. Are they that notorious?
>>140418472
That was more meant where to find to ask them for it, but everything is alright now.
Are their shipping prices already correct or will they update in the future?
>>140418027
Yeah. I like it.
>>140416612
>but they probably approve it every day, since it changes at set time.
or the database report is done daily. who knows.
don't expect sophistication from them. their website runs on a WAMP stack.
>>140418640
Nah, just comparable to other non-japanese retailers. They all get their stuff about three months after Japan.
>>140417843
Mine SHOULD be at my PO box today two weeks later. I ordered another figure a week later via EMS and it blew right past her.
>>140417514
Got my doujin order yesterday and am waiting for my AmiAmi order to ship. Phat butt is releasing next week

Bets on how many delays will Alter Saber get.
Id say 1 or 2.
Why do you buy these things?
>>140418927
Oh, makes sense I guess. First time ordering from a non-jap retailer.
>>140419082
Why don't you

>>140422396
Damn that came out looking good.
Going to hold off and hope for a Cadenza version though.
>>140422763
the arpeggio characters have a more diverse selection of outfits, at least in the manga. and they change every few chapters. they're practically a walking fashion show.
>>140423218
I somehow doubt that's gonna happen.
>>140423218

>Company well known for putting out good products
>Said company's products tend to get more expensive due to brand/reputation.
>Poorfaggots can't into capitalism or supply and demand.
>>140425427
It's not really good. It just takes the shotgun approach. There are so many girls that by mere chance some of them will appeal in one way or another.
>>140426232
Not me, there are a lot of shitty Saber figures.
>>140426232
I don't like saber. But that figure has a damn good design.
Now combine that with the fate bandwagon and the alter brand and the price should be no surprise.
>>140426169
I think it's because she has 3 poses
>>140426232
Not even a saberfag and I'm considering buying her if I can force myself to start reading fateshit by the time she comes out
>>140426581
Same
>>140426513
A figure with boring pose like that shouldn't be anywhere near 13-15k price range.
>>140426815
And it will still sell out because you're a nobody complaining because people are buying things you don't want them to buy.
Can we move on now?
>>140426866
Wew lad, don't have to get so hot about it.
>>140400986
Why can't Rin or Illya have as many/good figures as Seibah?

Stop that disgusting fanboy behavior of yours.
>>140426957
Im not part of either group you faggot, you just seemed too upset over someone expressing their opinion over a figure, which is you know, on topic conversation.
Anyone know if there are any good calendars this year? I know I'm halfway through 2016 but fuck it.
>>140426815
you're retarded.
first of all, it's about the dress and not about striking some dynamic pose
second, she has two poses
third, if you want to see boring, look at people displaying figmas in their default pose
Post your DSLR next to your figure.
>>140426815
That's actually more dynamic than normal for Alter.

>randomly bashing figmas to try to prove your point
>trying to argue opinions in the first place
Pretty pathetic tbch
2 years later and rape cape still isn't up for preorder
>>140427683
you first
>>140427185
Here's what i got a few hours ago, the box.....
>>140428155
And here they are!
Mugen Shinshi volume 01 (original Tonkabon)
a Tengai Makyou novel which has a few illustrations
The Samurai Pizza cats Anniversary doujinshis!
>>140428229
>>140427498
>bringing unrelated things to prove you point
That's fucking pathetic and you know it.
Also, there's a LOT of figure with nice dress/outfit and I'm sure as hell they are not that expensive. Hell, Kiss-shot was like 10k. Sora was 13k and she came with a fucking chair.
>>140427727
It is more dynamic than usual Alter, that much I agree.
>>140428229
Oops, forgot the picture
>>140428155
>>140428229
superb quality pics you got there, m8
>>140428293
and an AUTHENTIC POSTER of MUGEN SHINSHI DREAM DIMENSIONAL GENTLEMAN!
>>140428278
that one looks retarded
>>140428331
Who are these fine two ladies?
>>140428442
Huh, no, one if a boy, the one in the bottom, Mugen Shinshi, the girl is Atsuko Fukune!

DELAYED AGAIN!!!!
Phat is going for the Alter route it seems.

I wonder why they keep making figures of her, When literally the entire cast has a better design than her..
>>140428972
side characters have a much lower chance of getting merch no matter how good their design is. they're still selling merch for the show, not selling well-designed figures which just happen to come from a show.
>>140428972
It sells.Which might be the reason why they delay this figure since pre-orders are still probably comming in
>>140429072
>>140429327
Baffling. But then again, i never really understood saber fags either.
