I'm super late to the party, so the post probably won't get much traction, but still wanted to show my girls 😄

Not sure if discord will replicate the order of photos, so here's the description:

top of the cabinets: Washington x North Carolina,** Poolside Zara** (my first 1/4 ♥️), RQ Taihou
1st shelf left: Yat Sen, Ayanami Oath (Ayanami's sword is here, I'll need to fix it's mounting point a bit), Formidable
1st shelf right: Iridescent Rosa Belfast, Enty Oath (Enty was actually the very first figure I preordered), bonus: oath right from 3rd anniv box
2nd shelf left: Honolulu x St. Louis, Prinz Eugen Unfading Smile, Dido
2nd shelf right: Laffey Oath, Graf Zeppelin Beachside, Sirius
3rd shelf left: Chao Ho x Ying Swei (honesly NeonMax did AWESOME job, they're fantastic)
3rd shelf right: The Takao class shelf 👀
4th shelf left: Belfast Oath (can get enough how pretty she is in that skin)
4th shelf right: Jean Bart Uninhibited Bloodstone, Baltimore

I also have JP artbooks and 3rd anniv box, but I only could upload 10 photos, so I focused on the girls. Feel free to ask for more photos or any information, I'll try to help!

#

It seems I can just add extra photos in the comment, so here's extra goodies and better view of Zara and Taihou!

Solid collection

#

The Zara figure was disappointing tbh

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

sweet cave The Zara figure was disappointing tbh

I like the sculpting on her, I was more disappointed with the pool elements (like water, etc.)

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

yeah, the figure itself isn't bad

#

Just really hard to display

#

What is on your preorders? I got Agir and Bel

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:46 PM

#

lemme check amiami, I got few TashScared

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:46 PM

#

sweet cave Solid collection

also thanks for kind words, I'm moving next year so I'm already scared of transporting them lol

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:46 PM

#

You have the original boxes?

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:47 PM

#

yes, also saved some amiami shipping boxes

#

should be fine

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:47 PM

#

Yeah good

#

I have my own collection to worry about

#

#

Now, I do own the Enty wedding too

#

She's really hard to display tho

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:48 PM

#

next year I'll start with Agir, Ark Royal, also ZuiZui/Shoukaku 1/4
the rest of the year will be also busy lmao

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:49 PM

#

sweet cave She's really hard to display tho

yeah that's true

#

would be nice to show off her legs

#

but no way of doing that

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:49 PM

#

I don't know what I'm looking at rn. I got banned off of AmiAmi so

#

I migt buy some other ones while I'm at it

#

Thinking about getting Takao next

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

the swimsuit one?

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

yep

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

can get you some photos if you're still on the fence

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

Oh, I'm certain of it

#

I already have atago

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

yeah then it's no brainer haha

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

It's only natural to get the other

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:51 PM

#

true shikikan

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:51 PM

#

I was gonna get yat sen

#

she was like $40 on amiami before I was banned

#

See what I can find second hand

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

I do like her, though I'm a sucker for nice qi pao, so I may be biased lol

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

yat sen is cute

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

facts

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

I wish the did a scale of Enty default skin

#

I know they dropped an 1/4 GK but eh

#

It's like $700

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

yeah was wondering about that GK

#

but it was same time as Nier:A GKs from Creation Studio

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

Xhenoz might help you with ordering GKs

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

noted 😄 I also have veteran friend in terms of figures, so I'm usually good

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

I ordered a lot

#

I just don't deal with GKs

#

There seems to be a lot of GK dealers

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

I ordered my Nier girls from fnaticanimestore

#

good customer support and I saw ok opinions

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

I'll note

#

also enty figure is 1/4 so it's huge

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

yep, when I got my first 1/4 I thought "oh shit I overdid it lol"

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

Funny you say

#

Older 1/4s were bigger

#

Newer ones are closer to 1/4.5

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

I guess they scaled them a bit to save materials
I wish they scaled the prices as well lmao

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

oh my

#

Now, bunny figures are overpriced

#

There isn't really anything technically challenging for them outside of mateiral

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

that's why I didn't get Shimakaze, 46k on release

#

now 10k down, I wonder why haha

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

yep

#

I quit preordering anything that is overpriced

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

that's reasonable approach, also with how big the merchandise choice is, stuff like Formidable exploding in popularity is rare

#

so usually you can get them post realease anyway

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

it's hard to know if the prices gonna go up or not

#

usually right after release, their prices gonna drop but then pick up a year later

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

worst case, you can try japanese auction sites
my friend does that sometimes for long forgotten Persona stuff

#

though it's always a gamble

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

I use Yahoo Auctions a lot

#

things still got pricy on there

#

Also buying blu rays in Japan is more expensive than US

#

Surprising, a few things can be cheaper bought here

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

sweet cave Also buying blu rays in Japan is more expensive than US

TIL, lol never would expect that

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

Oh trust

#

I saw HOTD bluray on eBay for $20 includes OVA (legit) and a same bundle in japan averaging $70

#

No point

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

D: damn that's huge difference

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

CDs are still cheaper in Japan

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

I usually only get Touhou doujin CDs from Japan, so I may have limited view on that 😄

#

but good to know

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

Here's the rest of my collection if you wondering

#

But yeah

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

yo cool stratocaster

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

I'm still in the process of rearranging everything so things are messy

#

If you gonna get nendoroids, recommed buying acrylic countertop display

#

Just nice to see another figure collector

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

likewise 😄

#

also Love Live stuff

#

damn what a cultured collection

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

I actually

#

Purchased the rest of love live nendoroids

#

sunshine still expensive

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:07 PM

#

holy based

#

for now I only focus on games I play

#

but when I move and have more space

#

I'll probably expand a bit

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:07 PM

#

I haven't watched a lot of anime recently

#

#

Do you turn off your computer everyday or have something you turn off or on? I started using a power strip that has a master control and when it powers down, everything turns off

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:09 PM

#

so basically an off switch for everything at once?

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:09 PM

#

Essentially yeah

#

Good for turning off all my lights at the end of the day

#

I don't buy strips because it has an app

#

IF that's something you interested in

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

that's neat idea, can you drop some links if possible? may look into that

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

And I just learned that

#

Your detolfs have a hole on the top

#

Can run wiring if you want

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

yeah, that's the plan ultimately, for now I don't have any lighting, probably will do it after moving next year

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

Here's what I'm talking about

#

the 2 ports on the left are always on, the white is the master, and the other ones to the right of are controlled

#

You can have like a lamp or something

#

I just buy christmas lights, but you can do fancy stuff too

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

cool stuff, will probably do something like that when I add some lights to for my girls

#

would never think of that though, so thanks! 😄

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

oh yeah

#

You can also mount to the walls to

There is holes in the back of power strips

#

This is what I use, however you can find at the general dollar for like

#

$1

#

I had like a stash of these

#

You can DM if you want any other tips or questions

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

sure, will do if anything pops up AYAYAyanami

#

still few months before moving, so for now normal lights have to suffice hah

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:18 PM

#

yeah that's what I lived for a bit

#

You can use double side tape to attach lights

#

They sell it a dollar tree

mint hull Nov 25, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

now I need to look for some equivalents available in Poland, but already have some plans for getting my girls lit up thanks to you DorkHeart

sweet cave Nov 25, 2023, 11:27 PM

usually attic, make sure to remove all the plastic extras otherwise they will shrink/grow under extreme temperatures

#

tote/trashbag works

#

depends on how well you want to keep them

#

usually I store them in case I have to move / prove legit, but others do it for

#

reselling

#

fyi I mean the plastic parts as in the figure parts, not the packaging itself

urban falcon Feb 6, 2024, 10:53 PM

#

sweet cave fyi I mean the plastic parts as in the figure parts, not the packaging itself

Got it thanks! Was curious since I got a lot of bandori figures still with their box, but I'm running out of room for the boxes lol

I'll see if I can find a tote. Thanks again+
