These Yamato 1/24 Ingrams are pretty sweet. Dunno how common they are on Mandy though.
>>5558902
There's one on Mandarake for 10k :^)
>>5558898
Fuck thanks for reminding me, back in the day when this first hit state side I saw it in this anime/comic toy shop in Minneapolis called the source during a road trip. Passed it up that day because we were going to come back through later and went back later and it was gone.
>>5558930
Looks like garbage to be quite frank woth you fampaitachi
>>5559014
>Bitch just jelly at the aftermarket prices
>>5558930
Just scored this recently for 150 (which is fairly lucky these days...)
Absolutely love it. No complaints on my end, it's gorgeous in my display. Good luck, you never know!
Hint: I sold about 3 old figures and basically traded in the money for this, it's not so bad
>>5559022
Nope, don't even know what line he is or how much he costs. That neck and tail are dogshit and the jaw is pretty ugly too.
I'd want this only to display with figmas.
Every time I find one. It's twice the price of the last one.
>>5559059
Why not with figuarts or any other 1/12 figures?
>>5559095
Eh sure shf and other 1/12 figs would fit the scopedog too.
>>5559037
This.
Venusaur and Blastoise are the only ones that look remotely good. Lucario and Blaziken are decent too, but Charizard and Mewtwo (and Pikachu) are completely butchered by the articulation breaking up the sculpts.
>>5558890
I don't want a ben affleck figure anyway.
>>5559184
its shit anyway, so you're well off

>tfw have one unopened in a storage bin in my closet
>tfw never going to open it
>tfw never going to sell it
I am in no place to be dropping 600+ Canuck dollars on this beast and I can't justify ever dropping that much on one figure.
>>5559677
No it's not.
>>5559694
What is it?
>>5559677
Whats wrong with it? It's not like it costs a fuck ton, but I can't really convince my wife why she should agree to me dropping $300 on a toy. I can't see myself ever owning it, even though to date there isn't a Hulkbuster figure that I like anywhere near as much.
What do you feel is wrong with it?
Quo Vadis 2 resin kits. These mecha designs are just too damn cool for their own good.
>>5560415
your money, spend it how you want
>>5560442
Not really how it goes in a marriage. I have a wife and kid to think about and it's hard to go against that. Spending $300 on figures is one thing, but spending $300 on one is something she can't get behind. It sucks though because I really want it, and the BAF doesn't look anywhere near as good.
There was also some super-poseable figure that was in one of those "what figure can I use for pose-reference" threads. Was really expensive and I think it plugs into a computer. Also
>>5560482
This comic store in my area always has figure dioramas set up. One of them had a custom painted BAF Hulkbuster that looked pretty cool. Might be your best option.
>>5560617
Painting the BAF I mean, not going to a specific comic store and trying to buy part of their display.
>>5558890
>>5560482
That sounds pretty shitty, sorry to hear that. I'm assuming you work? Surely you keep some money you earn from work for yourself for personal items and you don't spend it ALL to support your family? I have a girlfriend and she's not exactly a massive follower of these sorts of movies and stuff (And neither am I to be honest, I like them but I'm not some massive Marvel fanatic) but even she admits some of those expensive figures look really awesome, and she wouldn't mind me spending a few hundred on one of them as long as it was a REALLY good one, like the Hulkbuster, or Thor, or pic related which is what I'm planning to save up and buy.
If anything, my girlfriend would probably prefer it if I spent $300 on one really good quality figure instead of spending $300 on numerous, cheaper figures.
This dude and his horse, would also take the colored version.
I don't know, I'm not even a big fan of ThreeA but somehow this guy speaks to me.
I like cowboys and I just like his gritty look...but I'm not fond enough of him to pay so much money for such a small figure that is not even customizable.
I have the new Motoko figma on preorder. But I really like this poseable figure, especially because she's in her outfit from the original movie. They're rare though, and are mostly €200+
>>5560673
Is he from a series?
>>5560680
Oops, not the original movie. I meant to say a more classic outfit.
>>5558902
have him and berserk armour. just need that fucking black swordsman
>>5560680
No, it's one of their original characters:
http://www.threeawiki.com/Blind_Cowboy
There are two versions of it, the first one was colored and available alone or with the Ghost horse.
The second is the one I posted first.
>>5559694
I preordered mine 2 weeks ago and put down a deposit of $100, all up it's gonna cost $520 AUD, but I got the War Machine Mk 2 for cheap and I want it to go with him, I know the price is outrageous, but when I noticed it was diecast as well, I took the plunge
Originals of these. Looks like China is producing KOs of them. The originals from Jap seem to be going for $250+ each on ebay. I'll wait for a Figuarts version since Bandai has the license.
>>5560805
It's shit anyway, so you're well off.
>>5559677
not everyone likes posing their toys with weeb school girls, you know that right?
>>5559694

is he rare now or something? last i saw he was $60

still my favorite figure to this day.
>>5558890
Don't feel bad. It's overpriced as fuck, just like most 1/6 has started to become.
>>5560673
got him and his horse for 200 bucks.
the horse is massive and heavy as fuck.
>>5561336
Is he good?
I swear I'm still tempted every time I see him, but the only ThreeA thing I own is the first release Metal Gear Rex, none of their regular figures.
>>5561483
he looks great with his horse, the articulation is standard 1/6 but a little bit limited by the the jeans.
i love the poncho and the hat though.
if you can get him for a good price you should do it if you like the way he looks.
>>5559059
Is that an h-mock?
>>5559596

>>5560651
Do you live together? My wife doesn't discourage my hobby, she's known all along that I buy stuff like this, it's just different now that we're married and living together with a baby. Our money goes into the same bank account and we just tend to talk over which bigger purchases are worth it/necessary, and I just can't argue in this case. I know it's too expensive, it's way more than I want to spend. If it was $150 or so I'd find it easier to pull the trigger and she wouldn't mind as much, but there's a lot you can do for your family with $300 I guess.
Gone are the days when I bought whatever I want, whenever I wanted. But even before we settled down together, I've always had a hard time justifying to myself why I should pay any more than $100 for a toy.
>>5561758
I am never getting married man. You are living my nightmare. I wish you luck though, and hope you somehow manage to get your hulkbuster at some point in time.
>>5561555
Votom.
>>5561498
Damn it, I had hoped for something more along the line off "no, he's shit, be glad you don't have him".
200 sounds like a price I would be willing to spend on him. It's not even the money, I spend way more on my dolls and the like, it's just that I never wanted to spend so much money on a 1/6, not customizable figure.
Maybe one day I'm lucky and see him for a good price, I doubt I will be able to resist him forever.
>>5561868
I'd say the problem isn't the marriage but the fact he has a child. He has to care for another being, in such a case he can't just splurge 300$ on a toy for himself.
I'm a DINK myself, but good for him to stay responsible.
I worked in online game support for a while and we had fathers/husbands begging us to ban their accounts because they were spending hundreds and up to thousands of dollars a month in our game.
At least this guy has made his decision and sticks to it, good for him.
>>5560617
I loved Fusion, but the proportions on this figure are just bizarre. Especially around the hips and lower torso.
>>5562467
Why do you keep saying "not customizable?" Of course you can customize it, whether by buying aftermarket 3A parts, or by just modifying, creating, or sculpting parts on your own.
Also kinda puzzled by you calling this set "small" earlier. 1/6 is pretty big for most folks, and the horse itself is huge.
>>5562472
Since he said "my dolls" I'm guessing he's a BJD guy.
>>5562472
I collect BJDs, most of mine are 1/3...so 1/6 is small for me. Really small.
Biggest doll I own is 75cm long.
Fuck, I even own a horse for one of them.
And I get them blank and start from scratch, but with him the appeal is how he already looks like straight from the box.
I love him the way it is, no reason to change him, but I know myself.
I tend to get bored when they are already perfect the way they come to me.

Oh, shit.
I never actually checked anywhere but Amazon after I saw he was going for like, $120 or so...
Well that's checked off my list.
Thanks, mate.
I don't get it when people say "I can't justify pissing X away on only one figure"
Does that mean that they would be perfectly fine pissing an equivalent amount away on multiple figures that they want less? Seems like pretty silly logic to me desu senpai
Mostly cuz he's too expensive to really justify buying
>>5563436
I would rather spend $100 on 3 new figures I really want than 1 older figure whose price has shot up due to false scarcity, if that what you mean.
People who can't bring themselves to drop big money on a figure they really want when it's new (unless that money is needed for something else) are just inventing their own grails though.

Guys, I need your help. I really want this figure ( http://www.zmart.cl/scripts/prodView.asp?idProduct=48994 ) but I don't know if it worths the money. It's like 37 USD. I have some expensive figures, but they are big and detailed while this one is small. What do you think?
>>5564204
FYI, the Roll Koto kit is a model, so you gotta put it together yourself. If you've never done that, check out the gunpla/plamo general, they have assloads of guides, and you can also get a cheapass gundam kit for practice on basic assembly.
http://dalong.net/review/kotobukiya/rm2/rm2_p.htm
The Megaman kits look pretty good with literally no detail work, but a topcoat might help a little. as I said, get some cheapass kits for practice on nub removal and applying the topcoats for the bare minimum.
>>5564222
Thanks, but I knew that already, I even saw some reviews about it and how assembly it, it doesn't look hard. My question is if it's a good price for this model. Because:
1. this would be the first model I buy
2. that store is known for being unfairly expensive as fuck
>>5564235
1. I'd still work on a cheapass kit beforehand and get a feel of the process so you don't risk screwing up Roll. Nubs aren't fun to work with at all.
2. Roll goes anywhere from 20-40 USD. I'd say 37 is "reasonable".
>>5564237
Alright, I just bought it. Thanks.
>>5564222
The Protoman kit was my first model kit ever and it was super fun and easy to build, Roll was my second and I enjoyed building her just as much.
>>5564244
Yeah you're gonna love it, it's super awesome. Just make sure you got some clippers to get rid of the little sprews. Maybe a pocket knife's little scissors could work too.
It's not fair, mang.
>>5564433
was this only available with the Jap Collector's Edition of Gravity Rush or was it sold normally?
>>5564729
The former. It's purchasable in places but I can't justify £150 for it.
>>5564749
To be fair, I don't see how a figma is even the best line for that figure. Something dynamic and action-oriented like Gravity Rush deserves a more action-oriented toy.

>tfw you are willing to pay any price but no one's selling
Ton of shit. Mostly stuff I could technically buy, but don't feel like paying the price for.
A whole lot of things that I remember seeing heavily discounted that shot up to double or more of the original price when the discounted shit ran dry.
It's really annoying because the stuff I do end up buying in those scenarios end up staying at bargain bin prices a lot longer than the stuff I don't.
