Where to buy
>GSC Online Shop - some figmas only are available through their online shop
>Amiami - usual place for buying, to some people, shipping is a bit higher due to packaging
>Hobby Link Japan shipping is usual lower, but their prices are a bit higher, private warehaouse is available
>Hobby Search Japan - items stay in stock the longest
>Mandarake - search figma or フィグマ
>eBay/Amazon - only if you hate having too much money. Avoid bootlegs, you can spot them as 'Chinese version'
>http://jungle-scs.co.jp/ - Seems like you can fine some good deals here
>Check the BST threads, My Figure Collection for any offer/deal

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

We're getting him with no delay right
We're not getting fucked right
Since there hasn't been an announcement at this point for a delay, does it actually mean we'll be getting Kiryu by the end of the month? I've never actually preordered a Figma, so this is all new to me, having to worry about delays.
>>5728147
You're getting him with a delay.
You're getting fucked.
Welcome to the figma general.
why are these figures so tiny?

Now I just need to hope the USPS doesn't decide to skullfuck the package from there to here, and that the seller packed it well.
>>5728252
Pay extra for registered mail, it is absolutely worth the money to make sure the package travels more securely.
>>5728261
Well, it's too late for that, already paid and shipped. If it's fucked up in some way, eBay will cover it most likely, and if they don't, I deserve it for being a retard and will learn my lesson.
>>5728264
It was from a US seller BTW. So at least I don't have to worry about international shit.
These are also going to be my very first figma's.
>>5728252
Congrats anon. I recently got Ryuko and Satsuki myself.
They are really great figma, I love that their scissor blades can combine.
Take extra care when posing Satsuki, the antenna on her head are made from quite a hard plastic and are very delicate.
>>5728293
Thanks. Again, just hoping it arrives alright. Never had a problem before buying shit off eBay except for an item that had a manufacturer defect (which wasn't the sellers fault obviously, it was a brand new product and he even refunded me part of the money, and let me keep it since I could fix the problem), but you know, theres always a first time for something to arrive fucked up if a seller packs shit wrong.

>Since there hasn't been an announcement at this point for a delay, does it actually mean we'll be getting Kiryu by the end of the month?
Probably undergoing some QC checks.
Can you use any other hands on the old style figmas that had the ball on the end of the hand? I have a saber casual, and one of the hands, the right fist, broke when I first tried to take it out if the hand tree.
>>5728412
I've tried to sand down the hands on my Yuki, it's worked OK. that's about it. as much as the new-style hands look bad they're so much better for everything.
>>5728427
My biggest concern is the others potentially breaking too. How good is OK?
>>5728446
they slip in and out easily but I'm not sure the damage I'm doing to the plastic, basically.
>>5728450
Have you or anyone else had any sort of frequency with these old hands breaking?
>>5728450
Dip the hand tree into warm water for some time and try taking them out while warm. PVC turns soft with heat. Do the same when swapping hands but be more careful since breaking a peg inside a figure will turn out to be more of an ass pain. You can also sand the ball pegs some for easier swapping just not too much.
>>5728252
fuck how.
I bought an used ryuko for 80... and it has some paint defects, im livid!
>>5728381
it's not like you can't afford it though. Australians get paid more than US or Canadians. The current exchange rate pretty much makes it an equivalent price relative to each of the salaries from respective countries
for a low but respectable wage
$20hr aus job = $15 hour US job.
desu I can't wait to drop $1000 on 2 sets of the god hand
>>5728412
Just got a chance to pose my body types and i like em but i'm ready for the 2.0 Only positive is that it gives my Beerus head something to sit on.
>>5728381
>Being a mexican
Youguysaresolucky
Can't they just re-release Ryuko?
>>5728783
What's with all these recent anons crying about Ryuko almost every thread? Did I miss something?
>>5728796
Probably just a same fag.
>>5728796
Baby's first latecomer's tax
>>5728795
is this the most expensive non-ex, non-sp figma? Max Factory or whoever isn't making money from shelfwarming so there's incentive to rerelease :\
Any anons here who owns the johj terraformars figma?
I'd love to get one or two for my bugmen to pose against, don't mind some latecomer's tax. How much is a reasonable price to say yes or no to, in your opinion as someone who's owned/played with the figure?
Thank you OP for using that template as the pic, makes finding this thread easier once it hits autosage.
GUTS BERSERKER ARMOR RE-RELEASE WHEN? I NEED IT SO BAD
>>5729087
judging from how they've never re-released Golgo 13, I say your chances are slim.
However Sonico did get re-released with a diff paint scheme so... maybe you can hope for a bloodied version of some sort. I wouldn't hold your breath though.
>>5728252
Struck lucky with an 80 dollar set of Ryuko AND Satsuki, but only because my country is shelfwarming the latter. Sometimes they sell set Figma Satsuki and Nendo Ryuko.
>>5729175
Got lucky with Archer for 65 bucks at a toy convention.
Meanwhile Tohsaka isn't going beyond 25 bucks. I'm predicting since Archer's a rarity nowadays, she'll be set-sold with Shirou once he's released, with discount.
Wonder if they'll do Rider 2.0...
>>5729087
I was just adjusting the pose of mine today.
Glad i dropped the cash on it at release. I can only imagine the stupidly high prices for it now. Feel bad for you mang.
Are figmas considered collectibles by non anime fans.
I mean in ten years will certain figmas than are rare today still be expensive and sought after.
>>5729393
>non-anime fans
Maybe those Iron Man releases and other Marvel figmas. Otherwise specific anime series and the Figma release will probably will be still sought after. The constant Berserker Armor Guts posts show that.
>>5728130
I want to be excited by more Guyver, but the first one was a complete piece of shit - especially compared to their own pre-Figma Guyver line.
>>5729414
How is it a piece of shit compared to the old ones? I don't have the old ones but heard they are really fragile? is this true?
I have the figma but am interested in grabbing the larger, older beetle villain dudes because of how fucking cool they look.
>>5728124
>figma Waifu...Do you have one?
A bit of a classic but the closest thing I have to a figma waifu is Canaan from CANAAN.
The shapely ass and halterneck shirt exposing her back make me so hard every time I lay my eyes on it.
>>5729510
It's been a while since someone posted a pic of Jackie Brownpants. Good times.
>>5729467
I had guyver and guyver 2, they didn't seem fragile to me. The only problem was I left them on a high shelf and my God damn cat got up there and chewed his long armblade. They've been in a box since.
>>5729510
It's a shame they never made Figma Alphard
>>5729467
You mean ZX-Tole and Neo ZX-Tole? Agreed, badass as fuck. Though actually the same character.
>>5729529
so how is the figma shit compared to those? not troll question, I'm curious. I'm a Guyver fan but when those first ones came along, I was in no financial position to buy them, I was still a kid.
>>5729604
Problem with many of the older figs are joint fragility.
The Figma is more durable, but the sculpt is mushy shit, breasts are missing paint, and the paint is really sloppy. The knees also are shit because they are not double jointed, so there is no kneecaps.
I love Guyver, but the Figma is mediocre as fuck. I sold mine the week I got it.
>>5729618
Ignore this anon. He's exaggerating its problems.
The problem with the Guyver figma is that the test pics looked amazing, the head was the most on-point sculpt yet seen in a figma. And the production version was sadly nowhere near that level due to whatever reason. Which was very very sad.
The paint isn't sloppy, the only "mushy" part of the sculpt is the head, like I said, and who the FUCK expects double jointed knees on a Figma? GSC don't work that way.
The paint is fine, on par with most figma. Again, anons are just butthurt that it isn't the glorious shining god they saw in the promo pics.
It's still a solid Figma and definitely worth buying.
>>5729633
Here's an example of the head that was promo'd on the left vs what we got on the right. As you can see it was a big downgrade.
My guess is some chucklefuck fucked the head sculpt during galvanization.
>>5729087
Maybe after the new anime?
>>5728130
BOOBY SMASHER!
Hopefully this time, they allow full removal of those transparent mega-smasher chest pieces.
>>5729656
Nope, they're probably going to release an updated 2.0 of Blackswordsman, with armored knees, hips, boots, etc. The new anime doesn't seem to cover the Berserker Armor arc.
>>5729662
Wtf is this from?
>>5729670
Gayer II: LBGT edition
>>5729670
Looks like a doujin or just a short one off.
Is there any chance GSC will have spare parts for a figure made in 2012? I bought Yui Takamura and she came with a severely scratched head
>>5729633
The black paint washing is very much sloppy as hell, dude. It doesn't need to match the promos but get some damn standards.
And most Figmas don't have paint washes, either. In terms of paint it's definitely weaker in comparison to the average release, as MF can't do washes for a damn.
And no, you idiot. I wasn't expecting the figure to have double jointed knees, I was just merely pointing out that one of the Figmas' problems (especially in comparison to the older MF releases) is because it only uses singular design, which doesn't work for characters with obvious kneecaps. Guyver isn't the only character who suffers from the joint design.
The Figma has a lot of issues (forgetting to mention the size and proportion of the head as well). It is not a bad figure but it has many notable problems.
>>5729529
>owning a cat
>with a hobby like collecting fragile figures
You brought this upon yourself. Those fuckers are evil incarnate for that shit.
Are... Are the decals that come with the Little Armory AT4 not waterslides? Or am I just retarded?
Anyone have the Sawajima Yuichi Figma from Time Scoop Hunter? Is it more in line with newer Figmas, or does it have the older-style hands?
>>5730005
It's pre-#200 so it has the older style hands and box
>>5728124
Kaiji kun
>>5730023
>that chipped paint
>>5730013
So everything after #200 have the new hands? Good to know.
>>5730027
Not everything, but most of them.
Opinions on Shimakaze? Worth £45?

Yes
That says $200.00
Fuck you Book Off
>>5730155
>local Book off is trying to see Lucina at $120
It's cool there's a figure section but goddamn
>>5730155
Theres a used video game store near me called Slackers, they have a figure section and everything is always the original msrp or less, I got Samus from them with trade credit
>>5730155
And I thought the weed I smoked was strong
>>5730155
200 USD? That's some serious scalping bullshit.
>>5730337
Funny thing being that will probably sit there for months on end. No one sane person who's new into collecting figures will see that as justified.
Whoever is doing the pricing at Book Off is probably basing it off how popular that figma is rather than being reasonable for a physical storefront to sell imports.
Can someone post the image of what accessories come/don't come with the Anglerfish team set?
Have a 1/12 CV33 in return
The new Major is onsale at HLJ for $30. Time to stock up on bodies for head swaps.
>>5730364
>>5729166
Jesus that's some shit posing and composition.
>>5730005
Old style hands as in ball/peg vs peg? Or do you mean the new style with the small figma joint?
That one has the hands with just the straight peg without the ball on the end.
Berserk Musou game JUST announced.
Fucking reissue or 2.0 of all Berserk figmas and this time the 'Zerk Armor isn't some shitty book pack-in WHEN?
>>5728762
Luck I guess. It's a new one too. Should be here Tuesday unless the USPS is lying to me (which it might be, they've been wrong in the past about delivery dates).
>>5730482
judging from the trailer there's a better chance of naked rape casca figma
>>5728796
Series aired in the past few months in the US. It was popular as fuck. Queue people wanting Ryoko's and finding none left and retarded prices for them.
>>5730406
I was just surprised that Satsuki stood at that flimsy table considering her heavy hair without a stand on the first try that I just had to picture it.

>>5730514
>there's a lot of things they dropped
They just left the accesories that work better when displaying them in the tank, the point of the set was pretty much that.
>>5730371

>>5730566
maybe that's the reason her aftermarket price was high
>>5730577
>maybe that's the reason her aftermarket price was high
>mfw I bough her a year ago for 3500 yen
They were pretty cheap on Mandarake back then, Miho was only 2500.
>>5730597
I got them all for less than 100 total.
>>5730498
So she's actually flat as a board under that right?
Kinda want the figure but I dunno.
>>5730724
not really, she's got a good pair in her human form (compared to the other girls in the manga, who have smaller breasts, and then the instances where you can see them naked around the 32 volumes are really scarce), which it's translated as big crystal titties in guyver armor form when she shoots the mega smasher
>Kinda want the figure but I dunno.
me too, but i will wait until she's released and pics start appearing, considering the color change problem with the guyver I figma, i'll wait to see if it happened to hers too
if you are going to get the pink version, expect the figure to be more bright than the official promo pics show.
i hope they don't cancel guyver III if she sold like shit.

>>5731004
the face "makeup" around her eyes gives me the figma snake vibes, hopefully they don't paint it badly.
>>5731001
On a scale of 1 to Snake, how fucked is her face going to be?
>>5731010
I don't really get why it comes with a hair style associated with a separate costume.
>>5731009
but her short hair is actually kinda cute.
![o0530075913668376979[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/iNcIF3g.jpg "o0530075913668376979[1].jpg")
>>5731010
no word on the gsc bonus yet or if she'll have an dx version like link.
>>5731011
idk, snake uses a realistic sculpt then painted with an anime style(similar to indiana jones, bruce lee) but samus is a girl and figma excels on animu girls, so it's 50/50?
![o0300024213668386713[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/9RTH1qf.jpg "o0300024213668386713[1].jpg")
>>5731010
>>5731001
also, idk if she'll have movable eyes or eye plates similar to yugi and love machine. other anons said that she'll have one based on the prototype shown at wonfes. i'm hoping she doesn't have one since there will be less chance to make mistakes during her production from the factory
>>5731025
Tried translating the blog thru Google and aside from figma ZSS having pull-out shoulder and hip joints, no mention of having movable eyes. but not sure since it's machine translated.
>>5731002
>skin tight suit
>lacking datass
then again head swapping her on arise motoko might be cool.
>>5731013
But completely unnecessary and a wasted accessory.
I think I speak for most people when I say I'd rather have an extra faceplate and a metroid than the alternate hair and federation helmet.
>>5731002
What a disappointment. I was hoping for something more like pic related.

Holy fuck, this ass is so terribly done.

>>5731002
It doesn't look too bad. I'm still gonna get it, if not out of spite.
>>5731082
same here, I plan on getting zero suit samus, then a female body type and make lewds out of it
>>5731094
Oh interesting lol, looks like it's the same Book Off, NYC right? They have the Mewtwo and Pit... I must not have seen the Lucina.
Odd they have a couple of okay priced ones like Amy for 40 bucks but then Samus for 200 doesn't make sense...
Anyways wow ZSS looks great IMO
>>5731151
my friend works at that book off and from what they say they basically go to mandy and amazon and compare prices and then add another $5-10 depending.
>>5731001
>not Smash 4 Samus

>>5731154
Right, and that I somewhat get - Samus is $85 max though on Amazon. Where the hell did they come up with $200?

no idea, maybe they had heard it was rare a while ago and just slapped that on? they also sell used video game consoles for $300 when you could just buy a new one at that price. it's all fairly arbitrary.
Can I put the cat ears on other figmas?
>>5731001
She doesn't look all that attractive? I don't know, something's kinda off about the face. Also the midsection looks kinda long, especially here >>5731004
Why doesn't she come with some sort of adapter piece to get an unhelmeted look?
>>5731162
But Smash Samus looks way better than Other M Samus.
>>5731173
well shes not getting made, so your opinion is wrong. Figma obviously prefers other m over baby tier smash butts
>>5731164
it's actually not that hard to make your own cat ear accessory for figmas, needs a bit of work but not that difficult
>>5731174
>other m over baby tier
You won't understand why but I just thought I'd tell you I'm laughing at you.

>>5731194

Judging from what i've seen on GSC newsfeed, it may be the case. Keep your heads up, who knows when GSC may update their shipping status. It may not be a necessarily a weekly thing. Right?
>>5731169
>Why doesn't she come with some sort of adapter piece to get an unhelmeted look?
That baffled me too. Isn't swappable parts and display options the entire point of the Figma line? Like you can put Black Swordsman Guts' head on Berserk Armor Guts' body.
>>5731219
>Isn't swappable parts and display options the entire point of the Figma line
not really, no
>>5731001
>>5731004
>>5731010
Honestly she doesn't looks bad, true that she need a better ass sculpt, but I'm a little upset that she'll only have 2 faces and a few accessories, I don't care for the helmet, I would have prefer that it was a baby Metroid instead
>>5731019
It seems like there won't be a GSC bonus or a DX version, as with the ALBW Link
>>5731035
This is why, even if she didn't have a glorious datass, it will be worth pick her up for the head swapping with my Arise Motoko figs; and as anon in >>5731085 pointed, is she end up coming with two complete heads, it will be worth to get her
I think the main issue will be that you maybe can't put her head on the previous Samus figma as the helmet head is on a balljoint (I'm not totally sure right now, I have my Samus figma stored away right now) and as anon >>5731169 mentions it
>>5731130
This anon knoes...
>>5731164
Yeah, it is a separate head piece
>>5731002
Dear diary
Her ass was flat
The end
>>5731248
>and as anon in >>5731085 pointed, is she end up coming with two complete heads, it will be worth to get her
It's not a matter of if, it IS coming with 2 heads (3 if you want to count that helmet). Look carefully, her front hair piece for her pony tail is different from her front hair piece for the short hair. Plus with the 2 face plates (glare & smile), it is technically 2 separate heads altogether.
>>5731001
I'll wait for a hands on review. No need to get it now since it'll be reissued 4 or 5 times
>>5731285
My thoughts exactly.
>>5728252
Alright, got my Ryuko today! Arrived super fast. However, this was my first "What the fuck" moment from eBay.
>go to PO
>pick up package
>old Amazon box retaped, thats good, reusing old boxes is what I'd do
>give it a shake, no rattle, but something is definitely in there, figure wow, they must've packed it well!
>get home
>open it
>....no packing material
>wait, what the fuck!?
>Ryuko's in there, just as described, new in box
>with an avacado in the box as packing material
>whole fucking avacado, not leaking or squished or anything
>nothing damaged at all
>avacado probably weighed more than the whole figma box
Pulled her out of the box, checking her over now, seems to be all good, just...The fuck, Dashawn? Because yeah, the guy who sold it is apparently named Dashawn. So I apparently bought it from a black weeaboo who packs items with whole avacado's as packing material.
If I plan on getting the figma Indiana Jones, how do I make his stubble more visible?
>>5731364
You go on and on about an avocado and you don't even take a pic of it?
>>5731366
He probably ate it. Why waste a good avocado?
>>5731366
I threw it out. It was starting to go bad, otherwise I'd have eaten it because they're delicious with a tiny bit of salt.
>>5731364
>how do I make this weeb eat healthy?
>DON'T LOSE YOUR WEIIIIIIGHT
>>5731370
>DON'T LOSE YOUR WEIIIIGHT
>>5731368
>>5731364
Oh, and question. It's my first figma, and I don't see any directions for how to swap her face plates. Where do I uh...Pull from I guess? Or does the hair hinge up somewhere or something?
>>5731374
There's a seem line on her head where her fringe/bangs connect, you pull that part off (gently) and to remove the face underneath.
>>5731374
Pull lightly on the hair, pull it out forward towards you, always be careful not to hamhands though
You could probably look up video reviews of her or other figmas to get the idea
>>5731374
Just pull it off.
>>5730597
I still can't believe Mako goes for over 10k now.
I was planning to buy http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=116&do=detail&id=101000033485
How can prices be this good here?
They are genuine and surely not Chinese?
>>5731395
They're legit anon. I've bought a lot of figmas from them, including an A-ranked Berserker Guts for $80 and that thing was pretty much sealed and had the manga+postcards.
>>5731383
There we go. Thanks all. Had to lever it with some tweezers, it was just like I thought, something got in there and made it stick. No harm done to the hair or figure, and now it slides in/out no problem.

>>5731387
I guess we can blame the GuP Movie hype the high prices on some of the GuP figmas
Now I'm just waiting for Satsuki. Should be here by Sat. I hope.
>>5730155
I saw a Miku prize figure for $50 used with no box.
Basically don't buy figures from book off.
>>5731001
>>5731002
>>5731003
>>5731004
Wow, i'm actually disappointed. I was initially excited for her and was planning on getting her, and after seeing the recent Makoto I had hopes for Samus, but it looks like they just dropped the ball. I think i'll skip it, maybe it'll shelfwarm and I'll pick it up. Or it will sell out immediately because there is such a limited pool for Metroid merch, either way, not that big of a loss.
>>5731659
I think my biggest complaint is Zero Suit Samus looks like a generic waifu. It also doesn't help that Nintendo made her blonde from Super onward instead of going with the original NES Metroid's green hair. Just something to make her not like a generic supermodel in a S&M, anything. Some scars, something.
Can't wait for the Prime 3 suit though, closest we'll get to the Super suit, which is my favorite design.
>>5731672
>I think my biggest complaint is Zero Suit Samus looks like a generic waifu.
My biggest complaint is the figure itself is mediocre from an engineering sculpt perspective and it has nothing to do with the design. The awkward as fuck looking hips, diaphragm only joint, probably no ass technology and two faces nearly identical.
Also the shading on the face will probably be a nightmare since Max Factory has never once delivered consistent shading. Sure they have happy accidents like the Giant Warrior, Pyramid Head or Bubble Nurse but it's still not consistent, just those designs worked well with random variation.
Compared to Motoko it's a joke engineering wise and sculpt wise.
>>5731429
still mad that Anchovy was a figfix instead of a proper figma.
>>5731689
I wouldn't say I'm disappointed. Certainly good enough, but I'm not particularly wowed. It seems like an old sculpt that's just finally being released, much like the Bruce Lee.
>preorder Satsuki's figma day one
>cancel a few days before release figuring out she's way too lewd for me and I'll never be able display her with a straight face
>a year later
>still want this bitch
>envy every fucking photo I see
Why do I still want it? Why can't I get over my shit taste?
>>5731820
Dude, just buy it. She's cheap enough-Shit, you can even get her off Amazon for $56, probably could get it for less even if you wanted to import.
Don't be a pussy, if the people around you can't accept a fucking plastic statue, they're not worth shit anyway. It's not like you're walking around in some faggoty fursuit or displaying a Hitler poster and heil-ing it every time you walk by.
>>5731820
>she's way too lewd for me
lol gey
>>5731702
>It seems like an old sculpt that's just finally being released, much like the Bruce Lee.
Thing is Bruce Lee got shown off then shelved for a while. The first Samus (in her suit) was released July 2012, figma Lady was released July 2013. Are you expecting me to believe they had a secret prototype sitting around since 2012 that couldn't even implement features that Lady had? By the way Lady was shown much earlier than her release date too.
I don't think it's an old sculpt, just a lazy one. Maybe because Nintendo forced them to do it in order to avoid lewd stuff or whatever. Or maybe because they figure it'd sell no matter what. The lack of a second torso joint goes back REALLY far though, it's a pretty standard feature on the line for a long time.
>>5731990
>Or maybe because they figure it'd sell no matter what.
This.
>>5731990
I guess you're right about it not being old, but even still, plenty of figures have been recently released with one torso joint. And if they added one in at the waist, it would probably kill the look. There's no seams in the design or belt to hid it.
>>5731998
I'd rather have visible seams and more articulation than nothing and less.
>>5732039
Well that's your view. Shouldn't be a surprise anyway, doesn't seem like they've ever put in a waist joint if the design didn't have some way to hide it.

FFFFFFFuuuuuuck. I didn't even know about this. Will there be stock when it's released, or will I have to hope one shows up on Mandarake?
"females don't sell well in Japan" can I hope it will be easy to obtain?
>>5732160
Why not just preorder one now?
>>5732160
Why don't you just pre-order one?

>>5732160
>"females don't sell well in Japan"
Is /toy/ really this retarded?
Anyway, Figma shit might be in stock for a few months after release. It's not like they only produce one batch and stop for good.
>>5732160
>"females don't sell well in Japan" can I hope it will be easy to obtain?
Then why is figma 90%+ female characters? Thats gotta be a bullshit claim.
>>5732167
>It's not like they only produce one batch and stop for good.
Ryuko and Berzerker Armor Guts' prices say otherwise.
>>5732231
Ryuko was very much available and shelfwarmed in some shops, and Berserker Guts was an SP-Figma, which are exceptions.
>>5732231
Wasn't that Guts a special edition only made to be paired for the manga?
Ryuko stuck around for some time before her sudden jump in price once she started to sell out.Guyver there will probably stick around as well.
>>5732231
>still crying about Ryuko
Jesus Christ
>not knowing about SP releases and how they never get reissued
Thoughts on what she'll go for on Mandy in 6 months after GSC releases her on the webshop (assuming that happens)? I don't care for SAO but I fuckin love purple and she looks cool as hell.
>>5732246
What exceptions to the sp range? (please don't say saber)
>>5732295
Thats a to of reused parts.
>>5732227
Exceptions for little pedophilia. No old hags. Except for the occasional big breasted statue. or like GITS Motoko Kusanagi.
>>5732166
.... Huh. I must have brain-farted. I coulda sworn I read the preorder window opened and closed in January. GUESS NOT. Thanks. Maybe I read "June" as "Jan"??? Whatever.
So am I literally buying the hype? I notice every time I buy an eHobby exclusive Transformer brand new, they get discounted later and I feel like a dope. I gotta catch the patterns.
Guyver I & III are the most popular. Isn't this Guyver II a new character? Wasn't Guyver II originally just a brief appearance of a defective unit with asymetrical face, and wasn't female?
>>5728244
Eh. It costs what it costs. I guess if I had a budget I'd be more reactive, but I've just got a vague sense that I should be more selective about what I really want.
If I were smart I'd drastically cut down to almost nothing. The Happening is coming, and money is the least of the problems I should address, but every bit helps.
>>5732444
>I coulda sworn I read the preorder window opened and closed in January.
Mate the Guyver II prototype showed up not even a week ago why the fuck would preorders have close in January.

I mean no, prices have been getting higher, it's not a new thing. And it's popular form of the character that they know will sell, of course it's gonna be marked up.
And yeah, I'm buying it, I'm not gonna be a little fag about it and go "boycotting" them.

Lying shill
>>5732587
OMG! SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN PRE-ORDERS OPEN AND DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THEY ADD MORE PRE-ORDER SLOTS ALMOST INMEDIATELY!
Some years ago it was common, but nowadays figmas never get sold out a little while after pre-orders open.
>>5732587
silly anon figmas doesn't sell out in minutes
I'll give you a (You) though
>>5732560
>ZSS sold like shit
>suddenly no prime 3 suit info ever
good job pham
>>5732587
Looks disappointing to be honest.
>>5732587
Is there a crouching pic of her. The hip articulation on top right kind of makes me worry
>>5732587
I will wait for the final product.
And if it is good maybe I will get the second release.
But if it ends just like Snake, I will pass.
>>5732444
>Wasn't Guyver II originally just a brief appearance of a defective unit with asymetrical face, and wasn't female?
original died because the thing on the forehead was damaged and guyver I just punched the thing out of the body, but then like 20 volumes later they reveal that the bad guys recovered the remains of the armor and managed to repair it, they were going to keep doing tests and shit to see if they can create artificial guyver armors for themselves, but then it was stolen by a girl called valkyria, who supposedly is the original guyver II's stepsister
>>5731004
So is this helmet and the hair a gsc exclusive? Amiami just lists the figure and base.
>>5732632
I guess it also won't come with the gun or alternate face parts! They didn't list those either!
Don't be an idiot. They didn't mention it being
exclusive on the GSC page, and why would amiami have pictures of shit that wouldn't be included?
>>5731003
It seems like she can't even bring her leg fully forward. There's no floating crotchpiece, so her thigh sculpt will scrape against her waist.
I PO'd on amiami before realizing this, MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MADE fuck
>>5732632
Yes, they are exclusive. Pre-order them from GSO Shop for 6480 yen.
http://goodsmileshop.com/en/CATEGORY-ROOT/figma/figma-Samus-Aran%3A-Zero-Suit-ver-/p/GSC_FIG_WD_00306
>>5732639
Jesus fucking christ, you people are now just looking for reasons to hate it. The plastic of the leg and crotch always rubs together, and it will obviously be able to move forward more, cause the plastic is soft.
If you're really that upset about it, just email amiami, they'll cancel. Just hope they don't ban you in the process
>>5732638
I mean, they included the original samus figure, so i guess they must include it!
Don't be a shit head, man. There have been times when figmas have come out where they included props that didn't come with the figures. Remember the initial confusion when they released Alice and we were all wondering if she came with the train pieces?
>>5732661
Use common sense and read, they specifically state on those photos that they're separately sold items. Amiami never includes photos of the figures with shop exclusive items either.
>Her handgun and Adam's helmet are included as accessories to display with her.
>An alternate head part with short hair is also included, allowing you to display the younger Samus.
Straight from the details section on the item page on Amiami.
Can we be done now?
>>5732693
>Can we be done now?
No. Those are GSC exclusives. Let him order it from GSO Shop.
>>5732693
Yeah stupid fucking argument. I'm tired of answering retarded questions from morons who can't read.
>>5731002
highly disappointing. Pass for me.
>>5731248
>I think the main issue will be that you maybe can't put her head on the previous Samus figma as the helmet head is on a balljoint (I'm not totally sure right now, I have my Samus figma stored away right now) and as anon >>5731169 mentions it
while the neck is conected to the body via a balljoint, the head is a separate piece to the neck, and is conected via a figma joint. as long as zero suit samus neck joint is conected to the heads (like thinke for example), headswapping it to the varia suit is possible.

Finally, after years of having figma Samus(got the 1st issue on 2012) I can now put her extra head on the armor version.
>>5732760
i dunno, i prefer the unofficial bandai add-on the most
>>5732785

Yeah no thanks
Did a quick photoshop of helmet-less Samus. While this certainly looks cool, is there any point in the games when she actually takes her helmet off?
