Can't wait for this to be reissued at 6000yen because why the fuck not
>>5664100
4750yen on amiami tho
>>5664082
Hope they'll fix that spelling on the re-release.
Thanks again to the anon who took this pic in the last thread! Makes for a great wallpaper
>>5664166
At least there's no spelling to fuck up on the figure itself. It's not as bad as something like pic related.
gyro prototype when. as hype as I am for a new rohan, I want part 7.
>>5664249
haha oh wow
>>5664067
I'm getting bruno second in the mail soon. I'm pretty hyped.
sticky fingers as well
There's a white KQ for $30+shipping on ebay of all places, seems like a decent deal
>>5664331
That's a good-ass price
>>5664331
>>5664346
a killer good price
Just a reminder who is best.
>>5664400
worst villian.
>>5664418
Kars by himself was pretty meh but the Pillar Men in general were great villains.
Listen to this as you look at >>5664400 gif for maximum perfection.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxopViU98Xo
>>5664418
>worst villian.
That's Diavolo.
>>5664427
diavolo had an way more interesting power then
>muh ultimate life form
>>5664423
literally only wham was remotely good.
>>5664444
But he was totally uncharismatic and the plan he made to kill his own daughter was absolutely retarded. Doppio was way better than the actual Diavolo.
>>5664454
better then cars' most generic plan ever written?
>>5664460
whoops meant to say worse.
>>5664460
No. Not really.
>>5664482
there both horrible, but diavolo gets an edge because of KC. Cars is just generic villian with a generic power. diavolo is generic villian with a cool power.
>>5664460
A generic plan is always better than a completely absurd one.
>>5664494
>jojo's generic adventure
you're right
>>5664489
so wrong though. a generic plan is fucking boring while an absurd one can actually be interesting. and literally every villians plan in jojo is absurd.
Kindly take the "which JoJo characters are shit/not shit" to the regular JoJo threads. We don't need to shit up the SAS threads to reaffirm that Diavolo is a shit villain on his own.
>>5664496
>>5664497
>Actually defending Diavolo's stupid as fuck plan
>Wants to kill his own daughter because somebody could discover who he is through her
>Doing this actually attracts more attention to the relation between them and his past than leaving her alone
>Instead of sending a single assassin to kill her or do the job himself as Doppio tells some guys who just added a new member to their group to protect and bring her to him, risking being exposed all the while
GENIOUS
King Crimson is awesome, but as a villain Diavolo sucks balls. He's just a pussy too paranoid and scared to show his face, and his schemes are so utterly ridiculous that even some Bond villains would feel ashamed. How can someone like him be the boss of a criminal syndicate is beyond understanding.
Question here
Does the rerelease of Jotaro 2nd still come with the updated head sculpt for the first Jotaro?
>>5664794
No.
>>5664794
That was an "initial benefits" thing, so no.
Ver. 1.5 Jotaro is the way to go if you want a black Jotaro with improved head/features, isn't it?
>>5664810
>OVA on the left
>>5664810
Yeah but it depends how easy it is to find the 1.5 release.
>>5664554
>How someone like him could become the boss of a criminal syndicate is beyond understanding
>>beyond understanding
Well... Stand powers do reflect their user's spirits I guess.
Hello to the Americans buying a whole stack of Jojo shit at Mandarake Nakano today on the off chance they post in SAS/Jojo-general
>>5664067
>Life has many doors, Ed-boy.
>>5665183
This would include me... if my order comes through...
>>5665183
Why? What happened?
>>5665414
people waiting for mandarake to restock. because it restocks really late for Americans.
>>5664444
quads of four speak the truth
>>5665574
I was so angry over cars that I didn't even notice I got them.
>>5665648
I think your fine if the order was made yesterday. I'd imagine they check in online orders at the same time when someone comes into the store for the same item.
>>5665482
Was it any part 4 shit? If they were buying in bulk they must've been scalpers or resellers.
Sounds like you just ran into a unicorn.
>>5665725
I wasn't really paying attention, just they were in the area with Jojo stuff and making a few trips back and forth to the register. It was mostly stuff like prize figures though.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-019165&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dstatue+legend%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1
At this rate, Di Molto Bene is gonna drag Medicos down with them, with the absolutely ludicrous and unfounded, delusional prices on these things.
how does Medicos decide what gets re-released? i really want fucking Okusayu
>>5665965
>$400
That is just not cool.
>>5666113
I'd imagine someone in the company had to make a serious case making it at that price. I'm not a big scale collector but are they a decent line? I just don't see what justifies that insane cost.
>>5666121
No, the material used here is overpriced and fragile, the paint looks shit from what you can see, and neither AmiAmi nor Di Molto Bene can even guarantee, at that fucking price, that it will arrive in one piece.
To make matters worse for them, their last product of the same line had a lot of QC issues, couldn't even properly use the chair it came with, was inconsistently painted and had a lot of smudges.
>>5666121
I think the only excuse for it to be that expensive is the scuplt, its much larger than anything they've done and much more complicated than anything they've done at almost a full 12" tall.
I've got the Vanilla Ice & Cream 3rd SL and it is a pretty nice figure, but some like Keicho have glaring issues that make them not worth the price.
>>5666121
most scales nowadays cost 80-160 bucks. you can't justify that price at all. even half of that would be way too much.
>>5666134
>some like Keicho have glaring issues that make them not worth the price
To be fair, the error I pointed out >>5664249 was for an original release for Keicho 1st. It was corrected later, and I believe the 2nd version never had that issue.
Although it's still an error that should've never existed in the first place. Fucking amazing.
>>5664454
>tfw Doppio SAS never
I got these Okuyasu cards that I've been looking at on Mandarake for a while, 30 yen each so decided why not. Does anyone know what they were for?
My two favorite SAS figures.
>>5666544
Looks similar to those collectable cards from other anime series or idol shows.
>>5666544
Those are from the "Adventure Battle Card" line. Like most trading cards, there are cards of varying rarity for characters, others for locations and such. Can't say I know much else about them, though.
There's also a shit-ton of those cards. At least 800 or so.
For anyone interested, there are new listings for Diavolo and Bruno 2nd from a US ebay seller. Either bid for $10-15 or prompt purchase for $35 plus shipping.
>>5666769
>Either bid for $10-15 or prompt purchase for $35
$10-15 is the starting/current bid, I mean.
>>5666569
>>5666602
I see. They'll probably never get used for their actual purpose, but they're nice to look at and worth it for the price I guess. They'll have to stand in for my lack of Okuyasu SAS for now.
>>5666902
something bothers me about these poses
>>5666934
Yeah, I'm not the best. I don't really have the time to re-pose them either.
My marine biologist arrives tomorrow
I saw this circulating on twitter and I can't find the origins. Is this a custom or is it related to Medicos?
>>5667167
Custom.
>>5667459
It's not too late to jump on the SAS bandwagon for articulated figures. I'm mostly slowing down now until Part 7 rolls around or until Baoh gets colored and has a release date.
Or maybe if a Josuke 3rd gets announced in order to follow up Jotaro 3rd when Part 3 was airing. Lots of potential but a serious downtime unless you're heavily invested into their Tokyo Ghoul ip since they have 3 releases lined up.
>>5667459
I've posted my Stroheim SL before and never caught flak. I know the board rules should be obeyed but maybe we can make an exception just for the medicos/Jojo thread.
>>5667465
I've just got the Master Stars Piece Rohan (which is much bigger than I'd expected) and six of the World Collectable Figures so far. I'm hitting up a convention next week, so maybe I'll find soemthing new to add to my collection then.
My buddy really wants one of those Stroheims and, speaking of SLs, I'm eyeing the recolor Mikitaka currently.
>>5664331
gone now? can't find it, i want that
Also does the store matter for Mandy? Getting S&W, options are Nagoya and Nakano
I've heard DHL is good specifically from Nakano, anyone know? Supposedly very cheap and fast just from that store
>>5668367
>>5667492
Yes, store matters.
Learn how to use the FAQ.
>>5668565
What does undervaluing actually mean? Feels stupid asking but does it mean like haggling with the stores or something? Both have it listed at the same price and condition
>>5668577
Undervalue = what the prices are on the parcel's customs documentation.
You'd still have to pay whatever is in the store, just that Mandarake won't list the item prices cheaper on the package itself. Consumers who live in Canada, Europe, etc have an issue with custom fees, but if you're a Burger you don't have to worry.
>>5668596
Ah, okay, thanks. I'm a burger anyway, and both stores are listed as "yes" to undervalue. It's only one SAS that's cheap anyway so I'm not too worried about price
Ordered Gappy and Purple Haze. Now the wait begins.
He has arrived
>>5668938
>he has arrived
That's not gay priest...
>think I'm ordering Crazy Diamond from Manadrake.
>Package arives today
>Accidentally order Di Molto Statue instead.
I'm a fucking idiot.
I still ordered a Crazy Diamond SAS from Amiami and made sure it was an SAS.
>>5668942
Just ordered my first SAS from Mandy (S&W for 2.5k)
How long does it usually take to get the invoice email? Delay because of weekend?
>>5669049
Typically a day or two but the weekend may hinder that.
>7000 yen KQ 2nd
Which one of you is gonna bite the dust? :^)
Theres an Okuyasu up on Manda for 6000, and another for 5500
>>5669175
I wish it could be me, but I don't have the mmoney to spare currently
>>5669175
It's $60 on ebay, fuck that
>>5669175
>Got it for ~4k yen a year ago
wew
>>5669358
Yeah and a Kira too. I snagged both lol. Gonna try and cancel the other one even though I know Mandy can be stubborn. If not I can easily make my money back. I'm pretty much done with SAS now though except for upcoming releases. So it's been a productive night.
Kind of tempted to get those Kinnikumen, especially Warsman 2nd. Any anon's can recommend them or should I stick to figuarts?
And so it's gone. I was eying that Kars, it was real cheap too but I shouldn't be spending anymore money. I feel like I'm never gonna see one at that price again though.
was about to swipe the whamuu on manda when I saw there was an okuyasu lets all pray to the plastic gods that i get it
>>5669377
There's one up for 5k right now.
Just got the payment request for okuyasu from manadrake, man im so damn happy i finnaly got him!
I'm almost done for now, still haven't decided if it's worth getting Part 1 Dio, Part 4 Jotaro/Star plat, and the part 6's.
Will probably jump on part 6 if I can get a good bunch of them for a good price. It always seems like the second you bite on a figure, it pops up a week later for $10 cheaper.
>>5669368
Wonky proportions, no options for other characters aside from Robin and Buffaloman. Has a toe joint, at least. Figure itself is good but the hip joints are distracting.
Stick with superior Figuarts. Sold my three SAS and never looked back since (though SAS Buffaloman did a better job)
>>5669628
It's been a while since I've seen one of these. Figured I'd give it a go and see how far down the rabbit hole I've fallen.
...shit
tfw we will finally get part 7 when funny valentine is actually elected president.
I got Jotaro and Josuke today.
>>5669907
Josuke is such a nice figure. Mine feels flawless.
Found a Kira 1st today and went ahead and jumped on it. Really wanted a Kira 2nd, but I decided to get this one because I was afraid of his price jumping after his anime debut. I found a KQ 2nd about a month ago for a good price, so I can't complain too much.
Now all I need is Kars and Pucci and i'll be caught up.
What SAS do you expect for SBR and Jojolion?
>>5669967
Johnny with Tusk 1 and 2
Tusk 3 and 4
Gyro and Ball Breaker
Valentine
D4C
Diego w/ additional Dino parts
THE WORLD
>>5669967
I need Funny Valentine and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap in my life.
Other than that, I would defiantly love having Gyro, Johnny, Diego, Hotpants, Yasuho, Joshu, and Norisuke along with their stands.
>>5669967
I just want In A SIlent Way and Gyro.
>>5669978
>In A SIlent Way
>>5669978
>A SIlent Way
I'm sorry anon, maybe you'll get a Statue Legend.
>>5669981
>>5669983
I'd even settle for statueshit. The only merch of him is a god awful keychain.
Anyone picking him up or should I expect him to be at Trish's levels of cheap months later?
>>5669967
>SBR
Johnny + Wheelchair + Tusk Act 1
Tusk Act 4 + Act 2 and 3
Gyro + Scan + Ball Breaker
Diego
The World
Funny Valentine
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
I think Slow Dancer, Valkyrie, velociraptor Diego and old D4C also have high chances.
>Jojolion
Yasuho
Peasley Park
Daiya + California King Bed-chan
Joshuu
Nut King Call
Norisuke IV and King Nothing also have with high chances. Maybe even Tsurugi. I'm not sure about the chances of Kira and Josefumi because they just appeared but people seems to like them a lot.
>>5670034
I can see Tsurugi being bundled with Yasuho.
>>5669998
I am, but more so for the sake of completion as part of the Tokyo Ghoul cast (which I hope gets expanded upon beyond the three currently announced ones)
Otherwise, I don't find him all that appealing. Much too blocky, and suits have been done way better and less jarringly by Medicos in the past. The colours are kind of meh, too, and he doesn't come with a kakugan activated face, nor the second shape of his kagune.
But I want to support that particular line, too, so I'll get him for that other reason.
>>5669998
Maybe if they do a second with fabulous manga colors.
>>5670034
If your prediction (horses included) comes true, I'll be a very happy man.
At the same time, unless Vitamin C can also melt time and Damo becomes the main villian, we'll never get an SAS of that wonderful chubby mumbler. Shame.
>>5670034
This is perfect, please happen.
>>5669693
OP here. Theres a better version of that Gif coming out. Stay tuned.
>>5669364
I'm ebay guy. Didn't order it yet, but if I did, $6 isn't a big deal so I would've kept it.
New to SAS so waiting on my first to get here before I decide if I want more.
Should I hope for a Gappy renewal or just deal with the sub par current one?
>>5670339
Statue Legend
>>5670339
I highly doubt we would see a Gappy 2.0 in the near future.
>>5670339
Why's everyone so down on the current Gappy?
>>5670421
I'm only down cause of the weird coloring and head. I'm still probably get him for my first purchase.
>>5670421
because he looks fucking awful from the neck up. and being a figure based on stylized comic character. that's pretty fucking bad. literally the new water pokemon tier
>>5670465
Don't you fucking insult Poplio like that.
>>5670421
Face sculpt could be improved upon but if I remember right Medicos rushed out S&W and Josuke for Jojolion rather than wait it out when they get there.
He's not half bad given the neat articulation on his shirt and the accessories he comes with for different situation and for other figures. As of right now it would take a few years before Medicos revisits Jojolion depending on their new IP's. At the very least he's in the cheaper end of the spectrum for SAS collecting.
>>5670465
Poplio is the best, fuck you.
>>5670469
>>5670495
owl is best. but let's derail this thread. what's on your wait list friends? I got bruno and sticky in the mail coming soon. also have a preorder on white snake.
>>5670498
Just White Snake.
I have The Hand 2nd on my Mandarake watch list, just waiting for a reasonably priced WF Jolyne to add to the cart.
>>5670498
I'm waiting on my winning auctions for Jotaro 2nd+4taro, Star Platinum 2nd, and both Kiras with the WF Kosaku head.
That Kiras+Kosaku auction was kind of a gamble considering that they're in used condition and missing at least one item (quote/soundplate). I'm hoping it was worth it.
>>5670549
>>5670498
whitesnake seems to translate into 3d way better then most other stands.
>>5670465
But he looks fine?
>>5670498
The only SAS I own is Dover Down but I want to pick up all the part 5 dudes sometime before the anime airs.
>>5670575
>Did you win that bid anon? How much did it end up costing you?
Yeah, I did. It's about 9500 yen with domestic shipping (before shipping to the US).
I'd normally hope to pay about 4000-5000 yen for the Kosaku head alone, so I decided to go for the auction.
>>5670585
I'd say that's alright
so how much does that josuke head go for? I really don't want to buy crazy diamond 2nd.
>>5670602
Hard to say unless you want to check out all the sold out listings off Mandarake. The Kosaku head was listed often at 10k before some stores dropped him at 4 but you also get KQ3rd's non-SHA hand also.
Honestly just grab CD2nd before he somehow jacks up in price and you start searching a lot for one.
Alternatives is either Yahoo Auction Japan or some random anon here in /bst/
tfw sas never
>>5670498
KQ2nd in the mail, but it's SAL so it'll be a while.
Is Gappy honestly a bad SAS?
Seeing reviews he looks fine.
>>5670651
He's fine, they just made him too soon so he's not as good as he could be.
>SAL delivery time
Jesus, the wait is unbearable
>>5670718
should have payed the extra dollars
>>5670770
I know, but this was my first time ordering from Mandarake and EMS was like 2k yen
>>5670781
sounds like you just dont like jojo enough anon.
>>5670783
I-I like JoJo...
I'll do better next time, I swear, senpai
>>5670788
Yeah you better.
>decide to check solarisjapan for toys like I usually do
>decide to check on the SAS
>see that a used KQ 1st is somehow more expensive than a used KQ 2nd

https://solarisjapan.com/products/diamond-is-not-crash-jojo-no-kimyou-na-bouken-killer-queen-stray-cat-super-action-statue-16-medicos-entertainment
>>5670811
Also, when I first looked KQ 2nd was at $65 and KQ 1st was at $120~
>>5670811
What I was told is that Solaris has a bot pricing certain items whereas other times you can find a decent deal off them every so often off preowned. Plus I see them post their ads on MFC and usually the prices are outrageous.
>>5670817
Interesting.
Yeah I've gotten a few good deals of other lines there, so I always check every now and again. I was just surprised to see a KQ1st at that price
What're the odds someone on here prefers this Mista colour scheme and the other variant's silver Sex Pistols?
I'd be willing to buy both, exchange the Stand, and sell you this one with the silver SP, and pay for the shipping myself.
Yes, I'm this desperate.
>>5670870
Seriously though, I don't know what they were thinking mixing the colors of the figure and accessories for Mista.
>>5670870
So you're saying you just want the orange pistols? Coz I got both versions of Mista to frankenstein my preferred one and I don't use the orange pistols with him.
>>5670963
So you're saying you're willing to sell me the orange SP? Do you have Steam, or another way for me to contact you?
Im glad I don't watch Jojo.
I'm in Japan right now and HOLY FUCK so many toys and they are so fucking cool to pose and shit.
>>5671101
Fuck you
Any way to get the older figures for non-rape prices? I can't drop $50+ for one figure.
>>5668564
that looks great
>>5671101
Good for you.
where can i get oldseph
>>5671129
It depends which figure/s?
Due to the exchange rate in my country, I pay about $50 to $60 for most figs.
>>5671142
Literally two on the front page of Mandy right now.
>>5671144
i don't know how to buy off mandy
>>5671151
Are you serious?
I'm a bit new to this but I figured asking here would be best. Are there any figures that have major issues I should be aware of? Mainly speaking for the Old Joseph and other Stardust Crusaders figures.
I've been told the first run of Old Joseph had bad hip joints (how ironic), and that the rerelease fixed those issues. How can I tell which one is a rerelease, or is it a bit of a gamble? Thanks in advance!
>>5671227
Black DIO has notorious QC issues. Other than him and what you've mentioned QC varies from figure to figure.
This morning I paid for Kars, WF Joseph, Blue Caesar, Silver Chariot from Part 5, and Purple Josuke. It hurts.
>>5669312
>>5669365
So I got fucking lucky as fuck that night. Managed to get the Kira and KQ2nd at 9400 yen and Umeda once again jewed me and sold it despite grabbing it 2 minutes after it's listing but it worked in my favour.
I just need an awakened dio to finish my rogues gallery. Might start a heroes and sidekick display to accompanu it.
tfw super paranoid about josuke and crazy d becoming hyper expensive, but cant get them for 2 months since i already bought 3 sas and preordered another with 2 gunpla.
josuke wont skyrocket, right?
>>5671227
Well if you buy from Mandarake they tell you that by saying something like [Resale] in the title
Meaning it is a reissued version
>>5671441
They won't if you're just keen to collecting Josuke 1st and CD1st. The reissues probably eased the chances of them being marked up due to demand.
>>5671470
well thats good i guess. its gonna hurt when i have to look for crazy diamond second for the extra josuke head.
>>5671474
I've seen one on Mandy for either 7 or 9k. Up to you if you feel that's worth the cost.
>>5671474
if i remember correctly, when they re-issued josuke 1st, they gave him a bigger neck joint, so the extra head with CD 2nd will only work well with an original release josuke
>>5671504
You remember wrong.
>>5671354
>Silver Chariot from Part 5
But why, the other two Silver Chariots arre way way better. Why you do this to yourself.
>>5671592
Not him, but I think he's kind of cute
>getting pucci tomorrow.
can some post jojo_after?
>>5671592
Not that anon, but I got him for 1500 yen, and I've seen one go for about 900. At least he's cheap.
Part 5 Silver Chariot's posing ability isn't great, but he comes with some nice accessories (arrow, key, two Polnareffs) and a cool alt head.
>>5671592
He comes with great accessories for only like 1500yen
>>5671620
>>5671585
For some reason I can't seem to find you by that name.
Mine is SunBird, avatar is a Fallout Vault Boy with sunglasses.
>>5671667
Just hit up my email, then. It's [email protected]
>>5671682
Sent ;) (really tho)
>>5671592
Oh, I don't collect the stands. I just wanted the turtle and he was cheap. I really just wanted to turtle.
>>5671817
oops forgot photo. He has a few accessories I wanted. Like I said, I don't want the figure per say.
>>5671821
If you dont want it I'll take it from you
Unrelated: Just got Oldseph in the mail and he's got some extra plastic in the back of this backhole, and I can't put him on his stand. How do I fix this?
>>5671954
Maybe sand down the peg on the arm little by little until it's a proper fit?
so is anyone willing to part with a crazy diamond second?
>>5672019
no fuck you.
>>5671954
Well, he'll be here in 2 weeks as that's about what SAL takes for me. I'll let you know then. I don't want to get into collecting every figure. I really only wanted one Jojo, now I have a decent amount. I try to only buy the ones I like the designs of.
>>5672428
Post more cute Naranja pics.
Just snagged a Kira Second and a Killer Queen First.
Now everything is daijoubu.
Just kind of wish I'd found that auction before I bought Kira First on Mandarake the other day.
Fuck you Mandarake I really needed that Rohan.
Is it at all possible to get Heaven's Door on its own? I have the Highway Star version of Rohan and I can live without it, but it'd be nice to have all the same.
>>5672908
In an auction maybe but highly unlikely.
>>5671629
Is the alt head him melting from the arrow?
my gay priest is here now. now I need to construct a prison Playhouse.
>>5672917
Yeah, it is. It's quite grotesque, which is great.
>>5672908
I have yet to see Heaven's Door on its own, even at yahoo!auctions. You'd likely have to get it alongside another Rohan, used/boxless or not.

dick move dude.
>>5673686
>scene
>>5673690
yea I fucked it up, but that doesn't make him less wrong from spoiling shit from a chapter that isn't really out yet on fucking /toy/.
>>5673681
>not King Crimson
LAME
>>5673707
Unfortunately it's the risk given that SAS is mostly JJBA. Doesn't excuse it but it has happened before at an annoying degree. I just wish people don't treat this thread as the /a/ general also.
Fuck you too, Star Platinum.
>>5673811
>not keeping the hands in the box
???
>>5673821
It's smarter to keep the box, yeah. But I don't have the boxes for some of my SAS (I often buy from auctions), so I use whatever I've got.
I don't like hoarding/rifling through a bunch of large boxes for small parts anyway.
>>5673811
When did they start making blue ones?
>>5674101
I don't think the blue-green Revocontainers were sold openly like the orange 3-packs. Perhaps they're a sort of special bonus like pic related.
I just found one floating around suruga-ya, but there's no helpful info there. Revoltech thread might know something.
Who else has experienced shit elbow syndrome?
I just got a used Dio off Mandarake and his elbow popped off after posing the figure for a few minutes and just will not go back on, it just flies off immediately and won't click in place.
Same thing happened to my WF Jolyne but I didn't notice it came off until weeks later and that shit is gone.
Any advice? Is it safe to try to glue it on there? Any easy way to sculpt a replacement for the missing one?
>>5674571
Caesar 1st, Jolyne 1st, and WF GER.
I didn't want to tackle fixing them since I wasn't sure if the adhesive I have (tamashii plastic cement) would lock the joint or somehow keep the piece in place. Looking at your pic and my WFGER maybe a really small dab in the deepest crevice of the elbow piece and careful placement may be the thing needed.
>>5674592
Yeah I put some glue on just the one side that does not have the moving parts of the ball joints on it and on the tip of the elbow joint part past the little hole, making sure to not get any glue on the back side where the hinge and seams for the ball joints are.
Seems to be holding so far and since no glue got in the cracks of the joints everything moves fine still.
I've got some warhammer green sculpting putty, I might try making a replacement for Jolyne's elbow at some point and trying to match the skin color on the paint as close as possible. I have a Jolyne 1st now too, but I haven't decided if I want to do an elbow transplant or leave it as is for now until I make the new one.
Does anyone else get scared at this point of opening? I feel like I don't want to get excited in case something is broken.
>>5674653
Just open it.
>>5674571
I have that problem on Caesar. I tried everything, from nail polish to putting the figure in the freezer. Not much you can do to fix it. I ended up just removing the elbow pieces because they kept flying off.
>>5674673
It was my Kira that finally arrived, he's damn near mint condition.
Excuse the shitty pic please.
Anyone know how I correct this elbow issue? The joint isn't snapped into place. I tried using almost boiling water to make it softed to try and remove the joint, nothing. I tried pushing on it while warm. Nothing. I gave up because I didn't want to break it and it still functions, just looks bad.
>>5674786
Cool pic
I just got invoiced for the same Killer Queen from Mand. 7K.. a little higher than I would've liked, especially since I already have KQ1st
>>5674931
I much prefer KQ 2nd to 1st anyway, I payed about 6K which wasn't bad considering the other prices he was selling at.
I really want a Blue 3rd to complete my set, though that's not going to happen unless by some miracle Medicos does a reissue.
>>5674931
So your'e the one they dumped it on eh? Congrats bro.
>>5666769
I think I got Green Mista from him, I somehow only got him for 18.50. Cheapest I've ever paid for an SAS
>>5675317
tfw I'll never get giorno for $18. hopefully since they are doing bruno they'll do giorno.
>>5675967
It's probably coming but it does mean that Part 5 and Part 4 reissues will be a thing in the coming months.
>>5675976
tfw we have to wait till second half for okuyasu. do we know anything about the new rohan?
When damn, going back to an older post I made about customs (someone made a Clear Gold Experience) it seems the custom thread revealed a Clear Crazy Diamond custom.

>>5676220
And one to show off the actual Clear variants of The World and Killer Queen.
Jotaro version 1.5 is on ebay from a US seller (missing soundplate). Starts at $25 plus shipping.
>>5676791
I might as well try for it. I like that color scheme best of the Jotaros.
Every month or so I come to check for new prototypes or announcements but there's still nothing, with this Bruno reissue I have almost everybody I want.
Whiteno, Killer Queen, Kira, all arriving tomorrow.
