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.

Does anyone have that list of Mandarake stores that will undervalue an item? Britbong and I don't want to get absolutely raped at customs for once.
Ordering a spot-sale item from Sahra if that helps without the list.
>>5783023
Where the hell is he?
I hope Hulk gets delayed so I spend 100$ on something else.
>>5783060
Not til August, friendo
>>5783060
>>5783065
I forgot that this fella was delayed along with the Yukikaze figfix, I have updated this in the schedule
My mistake!
omg
>>5783164
I have no idea who that is.
Barefoot Gen is pretty interesting though.
>>5783164
Csn you stop pushing your shitty edit?
>>5783164
HA! Great joke friendo, haven't seen that one before!
>>5783173
>Barefoot Gen
There's no Barefoot Gen in that pic anon.
>>5783179
They've already shown the prototype
>>5783179
I fucked up.
I get my showa anime boys confused sometimes.
Time to get your little sisters into figma guys
Low quality pic of prototype Maho. Hope we get some up close shots soon
>>5783194
I wonder how articulated her lower torso and legs will be. Does figma have any precedent on dressed women? I know Saber 2.0 is excellent but it's kind of different type of dress
>>5783181
No. They haven't.
That's not Barefoot Gen, it's Future Boy Conan in the picture, shit for brains.
>>5783023
Can you see up her skirt?

>>5783285
God I hope this series goes away some day.
>>5783333
it will, just to then be replaced by another franchise you don't give a shit about
Sherlock Hound is such a cool figure. Best figma in a while.
>>5783402
Besides some loose joints, yeah, he looks so good. Super photogenic.
>>5783463
>loose joints
are loose joints model-specific? I thought it was luck of the draw
>>5783012
Why is spidey up there? Is he getting rereleased?
>>5783478
He was mentioned in the last general, so maybe that's why.
>>5783478
Spidey is figma 199
This is the 199 general
not sure if it's been posted already
>>5783588
last OVA was in 1997, iirc, so an interesting choice
>>5783588

Well now that you've told me the name I guess I can google it now
Thanks

Can't wait to see her pantsu
figma when?
>>5783402
How can it possibly be better than [generic FOTM military vehicle-themed anime female character]?!
Just pre-ordered Yasuo. Expensive but I couldn't help it.
5783669
Black Swordsman 2.0 when? He'd be amazing with a cape like Leonidas has instead of the dryer sheet they gave him.
>>5783588
hopefully not anytime this year, my wallet can't handle it
You knoe
/toy/ what is your most wished for figma? Pic related is mine.
>>5783468
I think i may have drawn a short stick. But his legs are really loose at the hip. I've taken his skirts off to readjust his legs, and it helps, but i can't get to far with leg poses like i can on my other stuff, like with david. David is a real standout, like the rest of the statue series.
>>5783682
this, but with the second design.
>>5783693
This asshole.
>>5783693
psh you guys don't knoe
Hey /figma/ just curiosity after stumbling upon something in the display thread.
Are there any sellers for individual figma accessories or even recasts? Little armory stuff is cool but I'm really after Fate's Zanber without having to buy a third Testarossa.
>>5783588
Was the anime better than the manga?
I got my Billy today and he's pretty nice, but it bothers me a bit that his face looks even less like Billy than that of the promotional art, which didn't much look like Billy in the first place. Or maybe mine's eyes are just a little higher.
>>5783730
I would pay big bucks for a figma or nendo of Lain.
>>5783693
This sumg bastard
>>5783693
I am aware that this makes me the biggest faggot in the thread but my dream Figma would be figures of the main cast of Steven Universe.
A slightly more realistic dream would be a manga accurate Devilman, or anyone from Nichijou.
>>5783777
I'd buy a Pearl.
>>5783743
these would be fantastic actually
>>5783745
>without having to buy a third Testarossa.
>He doesn't want an army of Feito
What are you doing anon.
>>5783781
The limbs would be fragile sticks.
>>5783762

>>5783682

>>5783745
>buy figure

>sell figure without accessory
Just do it
>>5783850
Is there really a market for incomplete figure resells? My local online market has a few selling their figures with missing hand/no weapon/missing extra face and they've been there since last year.
>>5783669
>>5783682
>yfw the new anime is so bad that GSC isn't interested in making more Berserk figs after the Godhand
>yfw we get PAK Guts to fit the ugly-ass 3DCG Guts anime design this WF
In all honesty though, they really should at least look into re-releasing Guts because it would still sell like hotcakes now. I'm more worried that GSC might have hopped off the Berserk bandwagon and moved on since the movies ended, and that they expect to end the Berserk figma line with the GodHand instead of announcing more. If we don't get anything new this WF there's always the Winter WF in February next year after the anime ends.
I'd love to see a new Guts with his new armor, and possibly Schierke too, if it isn't too much to ask.
>>5783863
>god's hand cancelled
>zombie pirates announced
>>5783855
[spoiler]No. Unless a figure is in high, high demand its very unlikely people are willing to buy a figure with missing pieces.
In that anon's case, selling Fate Blaze Version without the sword would never happen because its the only weapon she even comes with.[/spoiler]
you knoe
>>5783964
Oh shit, that would be perfect for a lot of things, especially head swaps.
>>5783991
short of the weapons and arm parts built to hold them (which you can easily use LA's arm parts in place) we have quite a number of men in suits, I'm not against another but if you're after dandy men with guns we've quite a few that we can use for headswaps
>>5783994
But muh silverballers and fibre wire
>>5783012
Can you see elsa's panties? Are they sculpted?
>>5784028
Probably just bloomers.
>>5783745
arent most of the fate figmas like 1500 yen on mandarake now? It'd probably be easier to just buy another one. I doubt you'd find the zamber for much less.
>>5783693
controversial answer here
>>5783693
I really really want to see Miki released. I want at least a full iM@s team. Even if it only has 2 of my 3 favorites.
>>5784088
All the other GuP figmas use the older wrists, so it makes sense.
Question to saber fags
Can you put 2.0's face on Saber Lily? I'm planning to get her but damn her lack of a smiling face kinda puts me off.
>>5783824
Not as bad you would think actually.
There is just enough room for joints, and the material Figma are made out is flexible enough where the thinness wouldn't be a huge issue.
The neck on the other hand could be a problem.
>>5783333
Tanks have been around for more than 70 years, as long as they are competent i don´t think this series is gonna die anytime soon
>>5784384
Tanks are cool, it's just the generic moe and nigh unwatchable anime that bothers me.
>>5783762
It still baffles me he didn't get ANYTHING but Tohka and Shirou got 2.0's and of course Saber gets 100000000000003249087234279899909000122222222234509832457934857 things.
>>5784320
Just buy dress saber
>>5784392
>generic moe and nigh unwatchable anime
That's what I thought it would be before starting watching it, but it actually feels more like an sports anime than just a "cute girls doing cute things" kind of thing to me. I was actually surprised.
>>5784412
When does the fun start?
Because the first two episodes were horrible.
>>5784412
This
I thought the same until I made the effort of sit and watch the series
>>5784421
Oh anon, haven't you heard of the three-episode-rule?
>>5784320
>Can you put 2.0's face on Saber Lily?
Just checked, it feels like you can actually force it to fit, but I'm not going to risk fucking up something. Nonetheless, the bangs piece isn't going to fit nicely because 2.0's face plates are a bit bigger than Lily's and the other Sabers.
>>5784412
Pretty much this. I shat on the series for a while until my friend convivnced me to genuinely give it a try. Strike Witches, GuP and Arpeggio. Three series I was so very wrong about, so much fun.
That fleet show last season tried to ape their atmosphere but just felt flat to me, couldn't stick with it.
>>5784430
The three episode rule died for me about thirty magic school anime ago.
>>5784431
>Just checked, it feels like you can actually force it to fit, but I'm not going to risk fucking up something. Nonetheless, the bangs piece isn't going to fit nicely because 2.0's face plates are a bit bigger than Lily's and the other Sabers.
Thanks!
Also u kno
heck I'd pick her or Vanilla Jeanne
>>5784461
Ideally I would love a Jeanne figma but after I heard what Acrophya did to her I'm not sure.
>>5784461
>Jeanne Alter
Didn't even know that existed, thanks to Grand Order they sure are creating new servants and variations at max speed.
Looks pretty cool, but I would like a normal Jeanne first.
>>5784471
F/GO did a lot of good shit. We finally got Non-fanfic Servant Kiritsugu.
>>5784395
Honestly, I'd be happy with more characters from the Nasuverse that aren't Saber, for starters.
Speaking of Fate
WHAT are the chances that we'll get a Nero 2.0 WHEN we get the New animu? Seeing as how popular she is, is it ok to hunt for her Figma or just go directly to Bride
>>5784436
You're entitled to your opinions, obviously, but the way you speak tells me you're incredibly irrational.
>>5784479
I've wanted Hercules for a while.
He'd probably be like a hundred bucks but I'd still get him.
>>5784481
>WHEN we get the New animu
Is this your way of saying it's not confirmed yet but you are absolutely positive that Extra will get an anime adaptation?
>>5784486
It will get an animu this 2017.
Studio will be by SHAFT

My stand joint broke the part that goes into the figute, would gorilla glue be fine? Its the only glue I have around. Its fine if its fixed but I just need it to be usable.

>>5785579
Not as far as we know but if these sell well I'm sure someone will get on it. I'd buy a Revoltech.
Just got the David figma. The only issue I have with it is that one of the legs pops off when trying to position it. Other than that, its accurate as fuck, right down to the weird body proportions.
>>5783463
mine has no loose joints, lucky I guess
>>5786623
The proportions are weird because Michelangelo intended for people to look up at it. Perhaps it would look better on a shelf slightly above eye level, like most mecha do?
>>5783012
Speaking of let it go, is the Indy figma worth getting? I mean it looks okay, but the face is really off. Does it look that bad irl?
>>5783748
i dont know, but the anime was pretty good
>>5786826
I heard it was a bit different in terms of plot but I'm mostly interested because it was hard to tell what was going on (visually) once everybody gets in their mechs.
>>5785644
I'm kinda newbie on the BRS figmas, I know the WRS cause I own one. Which ones are the other two?
>>5786766
Oh, I love how weird he looks, its the reason why he's my favorite statue. Plus, Michelangelo wasn't as good at anatomy as Da Vinci, so he used perspective to make them look more in line.
>>5786811
I heard he wasn't that good. But idk I never owned him.
>>5786138
The plot thickens.
>>5786811
He's 6" tall including his hat, which is unusually short compared to most adult male figmas, Marvel Legends or Star Wars Black series.
>>5786138
How come you got no responses?
>>5787195
No one wanted to reply
Just getting into the hobby. So whats the deal with bootlegs besides not being authentic? Or is it frowned upon to even ask?
>>5787430
the deal is they're usually shit and a waste of money.
>>5786875
It's the same one.
>>5786958
sex on the mind friend?
>>5787430
worse paint and joints, so they are prone to break, sculpt could useful for customization but then you will have to invest in better joints and paint
>>5787430
only buy bootlegs if you're just starting out on customising your figs and need a cheap base body to practice
>>5786058
Excellent advice. Too bad you didn't follow it.
>>5787555

>"You damn hero of justice"

>>5784527
Funny bit is that there are rumors that the fifth Bayformers would feature Star Saber and King Arthur given the so far so accurate story leak.
>>5787430
As someone who accidentally got a bootleg Link just yesterday, I can tell you they're just way shit compared to their authentic counterparts. The paint is sloppy and dull and the joints are all really fucking loose and prone to slipping out. Pegs are either too small or too big to fit in their holes, and I think the torso was molded different. There's also weird strands of plastic hanging off him, so I think even the molding process was fucked up.
And since figmas and Japanese toys in general tend to be somewhat expensive collector's items, you waste a fair bit of money on an item that neither looks good, nor is it fun to pose or play with.
>>5787690
>accidentally got a bootleg Link
What? The real one is too expensive or something?
>>5786057
Maybe.

>figmaテッド、製品版チェック中。まもなくお届けです!!

Seems like Ted will be released on time
>>5786811
His face is off, you can't pose him without the hat and the whip is super fragile.
But, he's ok and the accessories are nice: even the Tenga, if you're into that sort of thing.
>>5787430
Well like everyone else said they are not as high quality in the paints and joints.
The only 3 figmas i own are bootlegs (poorfag Australian here) but i am actually really happy with them, the most common thing people say is the paint wont be great but on my three i would rate the paint a solid 8/10, no real issues but one was a slightly lighter colour than it should have been. And as for joint problems, on one of my figures one of the legs pops off kind of easy but i should be able to fix that anyway and i haven't had an other problems yet. Though i think i may have gotten lucky so far with my bootlegs i have bought, so YMMV.
The reason i bought bootlegs is Because the price to get 1 of the figmas i wanted if i were to buy the real one would be around $85 AUD whereas i bought all 3 bootlegs for for around $16-17 AUD each , so nearly 1/5th of the price and there is absolutely no chance i would enjoy the real one 5 times as much so for me it was an easy decision to buy the bootlegs, you may not be the same but i thought i'd share my experience.
Also dont know if you care but my three figures are Mikasa (AOT), Kirito (SAO) and Asuna (SAO)
>>5787832
Shit taste, stupid, and a poorfag on top of that.

>>5787761
Oh thank god.
>>5787909
I don't know if it's a pasta but it's definitely bait.
>>5787195
I guess I'm just not that clever/funny.
>>5787832
You could've bought one good figure for the price of 3 bootlegs
You guys think Figma will show a Deadpool prototype before Revoltech releases thiers in October?
>>5788421
WF is coming up soon so I'm sure..
>>5788421
No but Max Factory might.
Check it you mongrels
>>5788455
>Using coupons/store credit to purchase the one and only King of Heroes known for his massive wealth
It's good that you saved money, but you're still a total mongrel for doing so.
Got my telos figma from amazon warehouse today.
Looked like satan hotglue the box which is why i guess it was returned.
Is there a way for me to see if it's fake?
>>5788488
>Is there a way for me to see if it's fake?
Use your eyes, bootlegs are really obvious.
>>5788508
Alright, im seeing no problem that in aware of besides the fucked up box, thanks.
>>5788455
Even with TOM they're almost never worth the normal price unless they're having a huge sale.
>>5788576
For a price like this I might as well just cough up the rest for Chokogin's.
>>5788578
His shiny armor and the fact that he doesnt need pieces for folded arms makes it worth it
>>5788578
I have the Chogokin and, I can't stress this enough, it's shit. Really. It's absolute shit. Honestly, I've never had a shittier figure and I bought the 3A Dresden Lady Gun. Yup, the kind of person who bought THAT heap of crap thinks that the Chogokin is shit.
Still wanna buy that crapfest?
>>5788589
Well then, neither it is.
>>5788578
Hows different is the chokogin vs the figma anyway besides shinier and tons of diecast in turn for less shit?
>>5788589
Pics?
>>5788589
>>5788588
>>5788578
Fuck that, I don't even like normal gil. I'm only buying him cause of that sweet second form he comes with. Shit, I hated him as a character, but even I have to admit that Fate/GO Stage 3 Gilgamesh looks amazing.
>>5788590
Get the figma man. If for no other reason than to scalp it.
>>5788592
Well, the figma has a more matte finish and it really depends on what you like.
Figma:
>Two figs for the price of one.
>Seriously, his upper torso is amazing.
>Comes with Ea and Enkidu.
>Three different faceplates.
>More articulation.
Chogokin:
>Shinier paint, befitting the Gaudy King.
>Comes with the wine jug and three cups.
>Comes with Ea, no Enkidu.
>The faceplates are literally the same.
>Better, but less, articulation.
>Die cast armor is a plus.
>Die cast armor is a negative.
>>5788598
I ain't no filthy scalper.
>>5788602
I'm buying six for scalping purposes. I can easily see him jumping to Ryuuko/Saber prices.
>>5788605
I'm guessing at least 150.
>>5788588
He needs extra pieces to fold his arms
>>5788608
I don't think he'll ever be able to fetch more than Saber 2.0 (due to his lack of breasts), but he's still a safe investment. I'm just really glad I didn't scalp Rin 2.0. Holy crap did I avoid a shitfest there.
>>5788615
>figma of this prestige
It's an extremely good bet. Get two, at least. It's not that much more expensive and you'll double your return which you can then use on more figmas. Thus, furthering your habit by means of your habit. I dislike scalping, but I only do it so that I don't feel bad about spending too much on toys.
>>5788613
>Rin 2.0
Rin was a totally different mess. Gil is BOUND to go up. He's an excellent figure. His accessories and sculpt make him easily worth it to collectors, and his prestige makes him a well known and in-demand figure for suckers who get in the game after his release.
>>5788613
>I don't think he'll ever be able to fetch more than Saber 2.0 (due to his lack of breasts)
If that was a reason for not increasing in price that much, Saber would never have been as expensive either.
>>5788621
I meant that he doesn't meet the Waifu-Req of most people who are new to this hobby and thus willing to spend that much money on him.
>>5788613
He's a hundred dollars at base, he's a good-looking figure with lots of cool stuff, and he's a major character from an awful-yet-popular series. I've found that the latter goes especially far in the aftermarket (e.g. SAO figmas).
>>5788600
>The Chogokin does need extra pieces to fold his arms.
>>5788611
>He needs extra pieces to fold his arms
Wrong, they aren't necessary at all, I never used them. Pic related.
>>5788615
>My bad i said it because someone in last general said he didn't need another piece
That was probably me.
>>5788624
And I was just joking about Saber's lack of boobs, dude.
>>5788629
The problem is that SAO Kirito never even came close to Saber/Ryuuko prices. The tits do factor in. Mind you, the only people willing to pay scalper prices are:
>New and don't know about bargain hunting. (Ideal Buyer)
>Collectors who didn't have the money at the time and will hunt for it. (Meh Buyer)
>Casual fags who will run after seeing the price. (Worst buyer)
The way to convince your ideal buyer is by having his waifu. People go to great lengths to get their waifus. True, Gil may reach Saber 2.0 prices, but he'll never go for more. Still, here's hoping he eventually becomes crazy worth. I'm expecting to get 40-50% profit per unit on Gil.
>>5788632
He still comes with fixed folding arms. See pic.
>>5788635
Ahhhhhhhhhh. Gotcha. I'm an idiot.
>>5788640
>He still comes with fixed folding arms. See pic.
Yeah, I know. That's why I wrote "I never used them".
>>5788640
>I'm expecting to get 40-50% profit per unit on Gil.
A 40-50% profit on a $100 figure is $40-50, is it not?
>>5788640
>The problem is that SAO Kirito never even came close to Saber/Ryuuko price
because they did a reissue,. did you check the price before the reissue? it would have only go up from there.
>>5788655
I bought him for $75 at AmiAmi.
>>5788659
Yeah I fucked up on that. He was going for $110 on Mandy, but I held on hoping that he'd rise more. Then, the reissue happened, and I still have three units unsold. I'm waiting till Jan to put him up.
>>5788455
Nice, did you use the 9% ,12% or the $15% off coupon from their daily Coupon Hunt? Looks like you have $59.98 off and they seem to take all the discount on the first item. With the 15% looks like you spend $399.87.
But doing the math their price for Gilgamesh is still pretty good.. $95.99 - 15% = $81.59 -Tom Bonus $9.59 for future = which ended at $72 shipped. And if you pre-ordered 2 days ago they were given extra bonus points like $6.25 or something so it would have be even lower.
I don't buy much from them , but when they have sales, you can get some pretty good deals.
>>5788664
if you are going to wait, wait longer until the new anime gets releases,
>>5788660
So whats the chance of the yen exploding out my ass and blowing up in my face?
Its like 120 usd if i preorder from amazon
>>5788695
Mid-high.
And I base this on absolutely nothing.
>>5788695
If you order with USD, you're good, the USD to JPY rate is going to remain stable for a while. Meanwhile, the pound is taking a pounding behind the counter from some creepy, dirty dude just so that she can prove her ex wrong and show that she is completely over him. Tear slip from her eyes as she realizes that this filthy, disgusting pig is the second man she's ever been with and she let him defile her just to make a point. She won't be okay for a while...
But shit why use amazon? That's so stupid man. Use AmiAmi.
>>5788695
the yen started dropping alot this week, the Dollar is already back up to $104 compare to $99 last week.
you should be good unless another earth quake happens in japan.
>>5788695
yen likely to keep falling, nobody wants it strong. not abe, not exporters, not corporations, not tourism business. they want it to crash again so their original plan remains intact.
the only ones fucked by the plan are the average japanese but they're used to it
>>5788710
>is amiami the cheapest place to order this for someone living in nyc?
Ah shit. I feel bad for you m8. NYC is one of the worst places to buy toys. Remember the rule of AmiAmi+SAL Registered for budget buying. This way you have a good chance of avoiding taxes but NYC is pretty anal about it. But, generally speaking, AmiAmi is the cheapest place on the net for Figmas.
