The S shape is always good advice though. The basic idea is that straight lines tend to look stiff.

>>5639377
Got a Body-chan on her way, so depending on how it turned out I'll consider getting a figma:she archetype, especially with its price-tag.
Is the hoodie variant of Sonico any good? It's going for pretty cheap everywhere, but I'm sorta willing to drop the cash for the bikini ver.
>>5639653
>Where are these pics coming from?
>http://special.goodsmile.info/archetype_next/
>>5639734
thanks, brodinski
If you wanted the silent hill 2 nurse its on sale at amiami for 25 dollars or so... I got one the other day
>>5639947
What's that thing in the red suit?
>>5639951
Not him but its one of the dead/zombie astronaut figures from 3A I believe. Its either 3A or Threezero
Is it normal for most figmas to not be able to handle LA weapons by their shoulder? Doesn't work on Amy either but then again it's Amy
>>5639951
3A Strigoi from their Evenfall Line.
>>5639960
Smaller torsos of females and tits prevent it.
>>5639960
Yes, most of them don't have the butterfly joints that allow it. Figures like Saber 2.0 and Motoko Arise ver. have those joints if you want to know more.
>>5639968
How exactly does a butterfly joint work? Google isn't cooperating
>>5640017
I assume he means shoulder articulation. it's basically a double balljoint, one in the torso and one in the shoulder
>>5640017
If you own or have seen the Miku 2.0 figma she has butterfly joints. They give the arms more space to move around and pose more by being able to move in two places, the shoulder and torso.
>>5639968
>>5640017
>>5640037
It's not a butterfly joint, a butterfly joint rotates in and out, kinda like a butterfly flaps it's wings, hence the name. Pic related.
The figma's with extended shoulder articulation have telescoping joints or pull-out joints, instead of just a ball and a socket connecting the shoulder to the body it's a peg with a ball on the end that extends straight out of the socjet when needed.
>>5640091
Yeah. The ones on Figmas are called drawer joints. They move outward from the torso and allow the figma to have a larger range of motion in their arms. This way they hold accessories better such as the LA kits which they can push to their shoulders and other items they can hold. The upcoming figma of Miyo is the one that will benefit greatly from these joints as shes the one meant to hold her LA kit.
Guys, should I add figma Leonidas to my May batch order, or should I wait/delay for a possible price drop? How is the demand for figma Leonidas? I'm afraid of losing AmiAmi's current discount if they decided to jack up the price.
>>5640207
just buy it
>>5639960
they're accurately scaled weapons and most figma tend to be of small asian women who would have trouble holding a full-size rifle
>>5640844
>>5639960
for example, the SCAR-H with that suppressor is about 100 cm in length and Mikasa is only 170 cm tall. Amy is 156 cm tall, so it should be even bigger in her hands.
>>5640871
Reminder that Figma is a non-scale line and just happens to be in the 1/12-ish ballpark.
>>5640884
it wasn't a definitive answer to the question, just a common one
>>5640091
This makes me want a kinnikuman figure
What do you guys even do with Archetypes?
>>5641822
Use them for headswaps, dress them up, or even just turn them into artist's posing manikins.
Has there been any word on when Fuchiko is set to be released?
>>5641842
dudue, she needs tohold that smal gashapon that comes with the onacup book
>>5641822
I'd probably use 'em for poses 'n junk.
I might just go for one of 'em. Such pure posability would be interesting.
>>5641822
Put other figure heads on them so they look naked
I'm not knowledgeable about the Figma creation process, so how long does it usually take for fig to get painted?
>>5641890
It's very inconsistent. Some figures get a prototype and shown off within the same year / 2 years while others take years to even see painted, much less a prototype. Even when a painted figure is shown off, it can still take an unknown amount of time before it gets officially solicited (Bruce Lee for example).
>>5641890
It varies. Sometimes only a few weeks, sometimes several years. Its a complete and total crap shoot.

>>5641822
I'm getting them just to use as naked bodies for my other figures with head-swapping. But for that purpose I'm concerned about the huge gap they have in the back.
>>5639947
Love the pic!

Only problem with Kinnikuman figures is their feet. No toe joint, what the fuck!?
are there any other figures similar to the figma archtype figures? I found one from figuarts but it's out of stock. [spoiler]they look a lot better than those stupid wooden mannequins[/spoiler]
>>5641822
Nudist Beach ver.
>>5643679
are you talking about body-kun/chan the blank figuarts bodies? bbts still has them for preorder
>>5641842
That leg spread skirt is gonna be lewd. Might have to get one now.
>>5642402
Thanks! Something about that pose... your pic convinced me that I should have bought the kill la kill figmas while they were cheap...
>>5642827
I'll be glad when all future figmas have toe adjustments.
I hope at some point they will make non goku uniform satsuki and ryuko
>>5644467
They won't
>>5644467
>I hope at some point they will make non goku uniform satsuki and ryuko
They already did, they wear Kamuis, not goku uniforms.
>>5644467
Unless the series continues, they won't bother making anymore Kill la Kill figs.
>>5644467
>I hope kancolle stops being popular
lol, fuck off /v/
I wonder if GSC will bother making more figmas for trigger after what a flop klk was for them
u knoe
>>5644924
This could be cool if they used clear/translucent plastic like Crystal Bowie but they'd probably fuck it up somehow.
Guy patiently awaiting to buy the complete God Hand set of figma here. Going by this post
>>5639381
am I to assume that they won't be releasing any of them for pre-order this year?
>>5644924
You'd pretty much get this if they made Dural from VF.
>>5641822
Demon´s Souls Maiden in Black custom
>>5641822
Put cute clothes and different heads in them.
can't decide between the grey or flesh colored archetype figs, gonna be my first figma as well
>>5645294
Why of all things would you get one of those as your first figma?
Grey looks cool but if you want something closer to a human then flesh is better IMO.
>>5645294
If you plan on head swapping, flesh is probably the way to go, but if you want to use the body for a custom with sculpted details or a skin tight bodysuit, grey might be a better choice.
>>5641822
>>5645240
See... This man knoes what's up, the potencial of the archetypes
>>5645294
I'm going for the flesh color version myself, for bodyswapping shenanigans, same as Famikus-kun on >>5645304

>Why of all things would you get one of those as your first figma?
looks cool, been wanting to get a mannequin type figure to use as reference
>>5645135
I like how that sounds. Do post pics here (fuck the custom general) when you get to it.
>>5645341
Oh, still seems weird that you would get one of those as a first Figma and not one of your favourite character.
>>5645353
well judging by his use for it, it may be his first and only figma unless he happens to end up liking them for collection purposes.
>>5645326
That's a sweet paintjob on the LA kit. Got any other pics of it?
>>5645399
Sorry, that's not my pic, but check the link in that post
I dig the idea of personalized paintjobs in the LA guns according to the owner
How's the latest Mio figma?

>>5645554
While you definitely need to THIN YOUR PAINTS, it's actually pretty realistic.
Metal panels and pieces like that that is used often is are going to have a lot of wear on them if they're painted, because metal in general hates everything and will reject anything touching it, which is why metal works so well at deflecting bullets if thick enough.
And seriously, thin your fucking paints. Anyone can get a professional looking smooth paint job if they know to thin their paints.
>>5645615
Love how the gun's bonkers .
>>5646037
they are the anti-hero we need from /k/ autism
>>5645615
Meh..... pretty tame. Not extreme enough.
>>5646022
it's not mine bruh, but I know what you mean. not enough weathering gets that property of metal right.
Guys, thanks for convince me to buy Motoko figure. Actually i did regret a little, but after i did play with her all my regrets is gone. I do like her a lot. Thanks, its a excellent figure.
Revolmini Snake's pistol fits like original.
>>5646343
Good choice, I bought one too. Her tactical suit looks amazing.
>>5646351

What should I do with two Satsuki's? I fucked up and bought a duplicate on Amazon.
>>5646589
sell one ya droofus
or make them selfcest and then sell one
>>5639387
Anastasia when
>>5646589
Spare parts or use the swords for something. Otherwise sell
>>5646589
damage it and say you want a refund
>>5646589
Step 1. Wait a year or X amount of time
Step 2. Sell it to a fan that missed out on Satsuki for an outrageous price
Step 3. Laugh while you wipe your dirty asshole with all of extra dollarydoos that you made.
You knoe
In all honesty I would have preferred a Figma over revoltech. I was pretty disappointed in it. A Figma yoko is never gonna happen but a manchild can dream
>>5646595
>make them selfcest
This anon.
Just open one carefully so you can resell her in a few months for double the price when she inevitably skyrockets like Ryuko did.
>>5646805
Meh, I'm just glad we at least got the revo. It's more than we got for Kamina or Simon
>>5646887
will they ever make those guys? I need a fucking Kamina figure.
>>5646805
There was also the mms too, but yeah, shoulda had a figma
are there any other tricks to spotting a bootleg?
Figma newfag here, when do you guys guess Saitama will drop?
Usually how long do these guys take releasing toys?
>>5647051
Hopefully next year
I was wondering why is figma doing figures of all these sculptures of famous figures and art like the thinker? if I was to do something like that I would perhaps go more into the realm of creature sculptures like the gargoyles in Notre damne or the Chinese lion statues. Who do the statue figures appeal to? genuinely interested to the reason why they do them.
>>5646343
My came in the mail today, spent two trying to get her in a great operator stance.
>>5647132
>>5647122
Consider that it is not Max Factory but Freeing who is designing them.
I don't know if the Japanese have some kind of sculpture meme going on, but it's similar to the trend of wacky characters like Billy and Egashira 2:50.
>>5647132
>great
keep trying
>>5647051
he could be announced for preorder at literally ANY moment at this point. So you have to watch out for that. After he is put up for preorder, it will probably come out about 6-8 months after that.
If I was a betting man, I would say it would come out early 2017.
An Iron Man figma was put up for preorder this month. It won't come out until December of this year. So that gives you an idea that even if Saitama was up for preorder next month, he wouldn't come out this year most likely.
>>5647122
Who doesn't like classic sculptures? Let me guess, you're either underage, ~35 years old, South American, or Eastern European.
Something about Gen X-ers makes them love edgy metal type shit. And kids just like that because that's what kids like. Then 3rd worlders and slavs (aka uncultured people) like stuff like that as well.
Thinking of preordering these and was wondering which Fima school would pose with them the best? I like the look of Eli Ayase but I’m open to suggestions.

Fuck you, Yoko has had several figures. Many of them shit, but at least she did have some.
Kamina and Simon both just got shitty statues or whatever.
I'm okay with a Figma Yoko, but Kamina and Simon first. Also Kittan and Viral.
[spoilersdonotworkhere]Not really fuck you, but it's been frustrating seeing Yoko get lots of merchandise (albeit shitty for the most part) and the two main guys don't get anything because they're not fanservice.[/spoilersdonotworkyoufaggot]

I keep on hoping. My next hope is Gurren Lagann's 10th anniversary, but I guess it's never happening. RioBot Lazengann got scrapped too, it seems.

We're talking about cartoons and plastic imitations of those cartoon designs. Seriously doubt the usefulness of the character will matter when you put it on your shelf.

This is why GSC shits out schoolgirls. Their only redeeming quality is the jailbait factor, as if.
>>5648321
Or maybe he buys figures of characters he likes and he likes characters who are competent and useful.
>jailbait
Nobody actually uses this term to describe anime girls, do they?
>>5648328
Fair.
Dunno, how would you call cartoons portraying sexualized schoolgirls?
>>5648346
>how would you call cartoons portraying sexualized schoolgirls?
Considering the age of consent in Japan is 13, 'jailbait' is an inaccurate description. And you know schoolgirls can be 17-18, right?
>>5648359
I think 17 can still be considered jailbait-ish by western standards.
>>5648392
>western standards
Anime is not made for filthy westerners.
>>5648403
I know, was just thinking out loud. Was aiming for the "why are schoolgirls appealing sexually" angle. Nevermind.
>>5648403
Except the word means cartoons, so... yeah they are
>>5648422
I imagine Ganstas Paradise playing in the background.
>>5648454
If it's not dubbed, it's not meant for westerners :^)
>>5648454
No, the word means ANIMATION
>>5648603

fuck off /a/, /co/, /tv/

Hell yeah, looks great. Definitely grabbing that.
Is there an official release date for Hulk?
>>5648605
Reminder that telling someone to 'go back to /a/' for talking about anime on 4chan is a bannable offense.
I gotta ask, how are both of the Motoko's? I plan on getting the New Movie one, but her S.A.C version caught my eye as well.
>>5648796
They're both great, definitely worth getting if you like Ghost in the Shell.
They both have the new style wrists but the new Motoko has smaller tits and therefore better articulation for 2-handing her rifle and cross arm poses.
Though it's worth noting that her pistol holster is permanently attached to her thigh and belt so her right leg doesn't have the same range of motion as the left, the S.A.C version doesn't have this issue.
>>5648812
Sweet, guess I'll grab the newest one first and wait a little bit to grab the S.A.C version.
>>5648796
New Movie Motoko is my very first Figma and I think she's great.
>>5647250

Went to Mandarake Grand Chaos today(yesterday). Picked up Satz Batz for 5.5k and Godoka for 5k (her box was fucked up.) today was a good day.
>>5648812
the SAC one has replaceable tits though for better posing
I took a picture with my potatoe.
Currently waiting for Angela Balzac payment request.
Operator-chan and Female Archetype Flesh preordered.
>>5649342
They don't make that much of a difference to be honest. The new version still has much better articulation because of the smaller bust.
>>5640871
If that's close to scale to a ~5'6" or shorter female, that's about the right size for a full size rifle.
It was awkward as fuck for a lot of females I saw while I was in the Army to handle an M16A2 or A4, even without an IBA on.
>>5641822
>What do you guys even do with Archetypes?
I am using them for drawing mannequins. But I could also see someone using them for some custom figures with soft good clothes. Probably a lot easier to do because they are 1/12.
>>5649344
Do you know when Angela Balzac is shipping? I've pre ordered her too
Just got her in the mail, and I have to say that while she wasn't completely worth the $200 price tag, she certainly lives up to the hype. Barring the lack of faces, her accessories are great and she has to have one the absolute best designs and paint jobs GSM has ever done. The sword is a little finicky, but the Gun-Lance is absolutely amazing. Her left wrist joint is a bit loose but since I have her grip most of her stuff in the right.
Overall, 8/10 for the price.

the face she does have looks really nice. I might get her myself.
>>5649812
She comes with two faces, I put the second one on. Personally, major factor in deciding whether to get her was the eyes. This has to be the absolute best eye job I've ever seen on any anime figure.
>>5649756
She has a white speck on her hair. I hope it's not paint. She's one of my favorites too; she's like the center piece of my collection. Good job anon and enjoy her.
>>5649941
its just my love juice
You guys bore me. So I'm dumping some OC. Recently recieved this guy from Mandy because I found his listed at what must've been the incorrect price. I got the special version for less than the reg.
I don't even know what this character is. When I google his name I get links to the figure. I just wanted the suit body for shenanigans and I was tempted to make a phoenix wright custom.
He's awkward look makes him fun to pose in wierd situations.
His lack of torso and toe articulation disappoints me though.
>>5650119
this looks like what Id imagine Ted Cruz thinks is gong to happen if he walks into a Target bathroom.
What I did discover though is giving him snakes gloves kinda turns him into a badass.
>>5650125
Kek holy shit
Salary Hitman finds no joy in his work.
>>5650119
I chuckled.
Overall he's alright. I've spent 40 bux on worse.
Also giving snake ungloved hands makes him look like a drunk.
>>5650166
Yeah, you better watch preorder sites like a hawk. Scalpers know Saitama's gonna be popular, it's what happened with the Nintendroid.
>>5649344
Should work on your posing a bit. It's not bad, but it could be better. Nice set up with the cars though
>>5650194
This. Start making it a habit. Plastic heroin feeds your soul.

Ill have you know I have only the purist of intentions for mai waifu.

Probably by The 7th, that's what the site says anyways.

Where do you think you are?
>>5650133
Looks like ted cruz
Do figmas get re-releases often? I want to get some Berserk figures, but I keep seeing people complaining that they aren't great and need a re-release. Is that actually likely? Whats actually wrong with them anyway?
>>5650796
A rerelease doesn't actually fix anything.
>>5650796
>Whats actually wrong with them anyway?
Casca has awful faces, her skin color is wrong and the overall quality is just average for a Figma, it's like she was made by a B-team.
Band of the Hawk Guts has a weirdly long neck, it looks so odd if you don't have the cape collar on him, which brings me to the next issue; the cape. It's a huge block of heavy plastic which makes him really hard to pose without the stand. Again, I'm not a fan of the faceplates, how can you have a young Guts figma without an edgy scowling face? Tch.
Also this might just be an issue with mine, but his joints are pretty loose for a Figma, especially the legs.
Black Swordsman Guts has a really shitty cape, and he could have really used a shouting/angry face rather than the goofy looking gritted teeth face.
Griffith doesn't have any major issues I'm aware of. His faceplates are almost identical, and he's really light on accessories. Didn't even come with a crimson behelit.
Berserker Armor Guts is probably the best one of them all, the only real downside is his price.
I'd pay big money for a Tachikoma/Motoko 2 pack
>>5644467
Maybe when someone funds Trigger hard enough
>>5650879
nice picture though
>>5650163
all we need is a bowler hat, a visible cigarette and black and white film filter and we get "themfightingwords.jpg"
>>5650883
I almost did it on an open window, then I remembered pic related
>>5650891
I swear that sculpted ass...
>>5650194
Will do.
What are the best sites? HLJ, Amiami and Goodsmile?
>>5650897
I think.
>>5650918
Different anon here but I mostly use HLJ since I have changes of heart and cacel orders some times and I like just like it more for some reason. Plus the private warehouse feature is good for me too, helps me save a bit on shipping.
I wish I knew a tailor so I could get 1:12 Miltary Clothing. Fuck, I wish 1:12 military figures in general
>>5650676
Thanks Anon
>>5650932
You are correct, at least that's the hand I used for my NMV Motoko
>>5650126
>zodiac_killers_regret.jpg
So I heard GSC online store wouldn't ship Iron Man Mk43 to the US, is that right? Amiami also won't be carrying Mk43
That means the only option is to wait on Manda/Jungle, deal with scalpers on ebay, or forwarding service?
>>5650934
Same here.
Cancelling on Amiami is pretty scary.
>>5651317
Amiami security is on it's way to your address!
Reason: Using the words "Cancel" and "Amiami" in the same sentence
*Please be advised that we cannot ship to hotels or forwarding centers.
>>5650886
Every fucking time.
Sup /toy/
I've never owned a figma before but I saw a Snake figma for $16 online and bought it (assuming it was a bootleg).
But now that I've opened it, I'm kinda surprised by the quality (in a good way). I wonder if I lucked out and got the real McCoy. But I don't really have anything to compare it to figma wise.
How much effort are bootlegger putting into packaging? Does anyone here have a legit Snake figure to compare to this?
>>5648392
Many places the age of consent is 16.
>>5651059
Source?
>>5651372
I have it (not home atm for pics), and the fire effect looks way too small, not to mention how odd the paintjob on the hands and knees looks.
>>5651059
There is this kickstarter that got cancelled
http://thefwoosh.com/2016/03/army-alphas-6-army-builder-campaign-is-live-on-kickstarter
They're planning to regroup and redo it sometime soon. IDK why they cancelled it halfway
>>5651382
Hmmm, it might not be legit but it's pretty good for the price. Here's a shot of the box:
Where do I buy extra Figma stands?
>>5651372
For $16 there is no way it's legit.
>>5651372
Obviously fake. Figma faces are always matte, this one has that cheap plastic sheen. The guns also look very gummy and lost a lot of detail. Figma accessories are cast very sharp and detailed. Lastly there's that joint with the huge gap where his elbow is. No figma joint splits so easily.
Still, if he doesn't fall apart out of the box like a Neca, $16's not a bad deal.
>>5650943
that's a big gun
>>5651395
did it even come with instructions or the bag?
>>5651372
Post more pics anon
>>5651379
The Strain
Yui finally came in the mail today. Pretty good, although wish she had more range of motion in the neck though.
Figma needs to do more figures of chicks in bodysuits though, cause the gloss finish metallic paint on the dark parts is sexy as hell.
>>5651395
There's no instructions, just the extra bits came in the bag.
>>5651458
Here is the cardboard "The Orange" box taped on the inside.
>>5651655
I like Yui too, but the range of articulation of her thighs is kinda limited by the hip sculpt. Seconded on the bodysuit, wish they'd do Beatrice and a few others from Schwarzesmarken.

The more I look at him, it's a bootleg for sure, but a decent one. The plastic seems ok, all the joints hold well.
I don't know if you can see it, but the slave labor that they used to package this figure actually took time to roll all the little cigarettes up in their own little plastic bag.
The rifle plastic is firmer than old G.I. Joe weapon plastic for a comparison.
The clear figma base has "© 2015 Konami Digital Entertainmen" (no "t" at the end)
>>5651994
haha your toy "entertains" men
>>5651970
Not too bothered on thigh articulation myself honestly. She could use a bigger butt tho.
And yeah, getting a Beatrix would be fantastic. Kinda doubt it'll happen sadly.
>>5651994
Where'd you get it? For $16 I don't mind one to fuck around with. The original is so pricey I'm afraid to handle mine too much.
>>5651447
For you.
>>5650125
top kek
>>5652074
Ebay, It was a "buy it now" but the guy only had 10 of them and they sold out.
red_star1689 has one around the same price, and it seems to be the same bootleg.
>>5651034
Underrated.
The screen on my piece of shit of a phone cracked yesterday and i got an idea.
>>5652164
Also, what do you guys use to photograph your figs?
Here's my little friend, photographied by my crap phone.
>>5652166
I just use the camera I got as a gift last year. It's a Galaxy NX or I use the camera on my phone at times.
>>5652166
Lumix DMC-FZ28
Not a bad little camera for the money.
>>5652166
>>5652176
>tfw I don't know what camera to buy
I have a budget of $400-$600 dollars but I know nothing about what to get or which lenses would be best to get.
I want to take diorama photos for my figma and some Lego images though.
>>5652183
There should be Lumix DMC-FZ28 reviews around, check youtube to see what functions you'd like in a camera. The Lumix DMC-FZ28 has been around for awhile, so the price is really low, but it fits in that "pro-sumer" category. Not professional, not cheesy consumer grade but somewhere in between.
>>5652197
thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it.
Just saw the new PV for P5 and dammit I need figmas of the team in their costumes/fighting attire
