Figures and Plushies

Phew, ended up flipping the manga too fast, it was actually quite early on when this scene happened

Episode 3 in the anime, these scenes around the 16 minute mark:

And in the manga, chapter 4.5:

And the main female protagonist, Narumi, is actually an otaku too

I think my wife's reaction towards my figure collection is quite fair

[mortal mica]

It's 2k in #1071070910989209661

Dangerous chatting with me in a thread

[bronze mango]

custom keyboards are boring

[mortal mica]

Same thing can be said about #1217473726598221925

Just differences in people's preferences

[bronze mango]

i pike plushies

[timid smelt]

Megurine Luka spotted

My fiancé liked my collection so he added stuff to it

I also got him a Mizutsune figure (his fav Monster from MH)

[mortal mica]

Oh dang, you're right!

[timid smelt]

i love her so much

Ngl a Vocaloid collab wouldve been so nice for Mikuexpo's 10th anniversary...

[mortal mica]

Miku Expo seems to have flopped pretty hard this year: https://kotaku.com/hatsune-miku-expo-2024-hologram-led-tv-screen-concert-1851395526

But looks like Megurine Luka did perform: https://mhshighlife.com/2024/05/02/miku-expo-2024-review/

[timid smelt]

Yeah I went

Mexico got shafted merch wise but at least we had the best show imo

We got a better setup and they allowed us to bring counterfiet lightsticks so everything was super illuminated

https://youtu.be/bd27XsC8dgk?si=JqwlUZUjZQrY4_Vs

49:04 was worth everything

[turbid wing]

Wait, who is mc of this anime

Blue hair boy

[mortal mica]

The pink hair girl

[turbid wing]

Oh

[mortal mica]

And it's about her relationship with the blue hair boy

[turbid wing]

Ic ic

Slice of life

[mortal mica]

Rom Com

There's a full storyline, so not quite slice of life

Anyways, the reason I've brought it up was to share the scene where Narumi was having issues with Hirotaka's figure collection

[turbid wing]

Ohh

[mortal mica]

Probably should start an anime/manga thread if there's more interest for that stuff

[turbid wing]

Ye

That will be awesome

[timid smelt]

Speaking of anime. Shes so cute

[mortal mica]

speaking of anime, just created the #1249251565416480818 thread

[delicate spruce]

I need this. But I read somewhere that only 100 or so were made. 😭

[timid smelt]

WHAT

[mortal mica]

I think the 100 is only for the pre-orders: https://www.siliconera.com/giant-hatsune-miku-plush-available-for-limited-preorders/

I'm not sure if the actual run was limited to 100

Nevermind, there was an entry in MFC: https://myfigurecollection.net/item/1293351

It was limited to 100 total

[timid smelt]

Oh no now I feel horrible, there was one at a con but I didnt get her because she was 700$

[turbid wing]

F

700....

[bronze mango]

2x times the price of my current pc

[jaunty axle]

Asuka sittin in my pc 😂

[turbid wing]

Cool

[bronze mango]

ok

[jaunty axle]

Thanks ❤️

[jaunty axle]

Ok

[mortal mica]

ooo, the new 1/7 from Good Smile: https://myfigurecollection.net/item/1618466

I have my sitting Asuka further towards the rear of the case:

the figure I used: https://myfigurecollection.net/item/53995

I picked it up as a pair with Rei:

ooo, found a picture from the test fitting inside the Y60 during the #1165911927252328468 build:

[jaunty axle]

I wanted to buy this one but ofc i had to spend more money on my pc first https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-152803

[rich jetty]

I'm still patiently waiting for my spinning herta figure and my P3 Reload Elizabeth

[rich jetty]

Ah, yes, the figure where I was a bad influence to @mortal mica so he got it

[jaunty axle]

One day i will buy it, right now im eating ramen

🐒

[rich jetty]

I know the feels

I hard whaled the first 6 mo the of the year, getting a TON of Persona 3 merch

Now I'm cup ramen dieting

[jaunty axle]

It’s worth it! 💆🏻‍♀️

[rich jetty]

No figures (yet. They haven't come in yet, but I ordered 3)

The Bushiroad TCG stuff should arrive tomorrow

[jaunty axle]

Nvm might be spoil

😥

[rich jetty]

@jaunty axle that gave me a chuckle

[jaunty axle]

The true bitter ending bro i still have to recover

[rich jetty]

Brother, I've been playing since P3P release. I'm still recovering

(I played FES when P3P released, then played FemC route on P3P)

[mortal mica]

I happen to have them:

great looking pair

but doesn't look well inside the Y60, here's a quick setup with them inside the #1165911927252328468:

Both fits, but some issues with them being in the case:

1. Despite being a 1/7 scale, the sitting Asuka doesn't fill the space in the front of the case as the SPM Spear Asuka: https://a.co/d/aoR4foM

2. Rei doesn't fit at the back of the case where the Sitting Asuka is current at due to the stupid large Ryujin III

the only position that the sitting Rei can fit is to the right of the 4090

[bronze mango]

what are temp differences with and without figures

[mortal mica]

and her giant skirt present a huge airflow problem

I will actually be concerned about Rei's skirt melting covering the 4090 heatsink

3. Lastly, the Myethos pair are very very delicate and made from this very soft plastic

not to mention the cost is giving me some pause to park the pair inside a computer case that regularly hits 60C+

overtime, my SPM Spear Asuka has started to show signs of getting "sticky"

seems like the protective coating is starting to degrade

not so much an issue for a prize figure

a pretty big concern for a $500ish scale figure

once again, I really can't recommend throwing nice scale figures into a computer case

that's what prize figures are for

IMO, scale figures should stay put on display shelves

[mortal mica]

no difference, I don't block airflow with my toys

airflow is always the top consideration when I'm coming up with decorations for the case

I've made it a habit to post the stress test results for each edits

feel free to find them on reddit or #1068286502653677658

[bronze mango]

interesting

[mortal mica]

for example, you would think the #1229485015428235316 would be problematic with all the flowers in the case:

but in reality, the flowers are right up against the glass of the case so the actual airflow isn't impacted

[bronze mango]

thats alot of flowers

and now i think if i should ask pay someone to draw me an oc for my vtube channel and ask pay someone to 3d model it and then ill ask beg myself to make a case styled to it

[mortal mica]

anyways, @jaunty axle's experience may be slightly different as it seems like they're running the EVA-02 set in a Y70

there may be more space to work with for toys and the sitting Rei may be able fit in the rear of case

but the amount of heat sink that skirt is covering will still be problematic

[mortal mica]

good luck with that

I really do with you the best

[bronze mango]

it shouldn't be that hard

basically get some aquarium case and do it

[jaunty axle]

I never experienced pvc melting but it could be a risk for me since i dont have intake fans in my y70 YET 😂

But my asuka is sitting in those aio tubes that should lift her and shield her from that hot chongus of 4090

[mortal mica]

I don't think the risk of a full meltdown is possible inside a computer case

but there was other way that the figure can still get damaged

a lot of softeners are use to mold the figures, those chemical may reactivate at the higher than room temps

and thus you end up with sticky figures

I don't know, after owning a bunch of these figures, I sort of get a pretty good feel which figures are going to be more problematic than others

even after having the Myethos pair for about 6-weeks, I can still smell the chemical on the figures when I was just handling them for the pictures just now

[jaunty axle]

I always had figures in my pc so i’m pretty confident they are safe, just turn the fans to get more airflow 😂

[mortal mica]

surprised that you didn't stick Nezuko into your case

if I was a bigger Demon Slayer fan, I would totally do a Nezuko theme build in the new Strawberry Milk Y70

[jaunty axle]

Nezuko is on my left speaker, her big bro Tanjiro on the right one ☝️

[jaunty axle]

i have a question @mortal mica do you happen to have this gif in your armoury crate software? sorry Off -Topic

cuz i dont have it 🥲 i saw some youtubers using it but i dont see it in my armoury crate shit

[mortal mica]

Top 2, bottom 2 are custom

[rich jetty]

I got a thing, just for the P3 Reload Collector's Edition stuff (US and JP items)

I'll have that Aigis Figure now lool

[mortal mica]

Are you planning on unboxing?

[rich jetty]

Yeah

Aigis Figure for the desk or PC, unsure yet

[jaunty axle]

Ramen enjoyer ☝🏻

[rich jetty]

Cup ramen a day bb

[mortal mica]

finally in front of my computer, but the top 2 pictures are just this animated wallpaper:

[bronze mango]

nyan cat

[jaunty axle]

I found some posts in asus rog forums and reddit for THAT custom animation, nobody knows where it’s from 😂 i guess i’ll live without it

[mortal mica]

can you take a screenshot of your setting screen in Armoury Crate?

it really should be under default

[jaunty axle]

I have this one, the same as yours

[mortal mica]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/18nhxhx/evangelion_rog_ryujin_iii_360_animations/

let me see if I can find the last 2 pictures

[jaunty axle]

https://youtu.be/r3WgqzQrhF4?si=JRj5ZnfPAFkjEM6g 4:00 @mortal mica

[mortal mica]

the author of the video stated this:

[jaunty axle]

Probably different units have a different gif? 🤣

[mortal mica]

I think different countries may have different defaults

but I couldn't find that specific wallpaper anywhere

and I'm giving up now

that's slightly silly, but really not worth my time

the bottom two looks like the images from the Polymo lighting on the MB

maybe it was overly redundant and ASUS decided to ship with a different background from prototype units

a lot of the tech reviewers get prototype units

[jaunty axle]

Haha no worries man, i didn’t think you’ll be searching it xD sorry for wasting your time, i also gave up because like you said i just can’t find it anywhere

[mortal mica]

It's cool, I'm genuinely curious myself, and now I know

[timid smelt]

I just got a mail, Ib is on the way!!

https://tenor.com/view/ibgame-garry-ib-garryib-dance-rpgmaker-gif-1069292322031862314

[bronze mango]

i remembered that i can use pc the proper way

cyberbully kids on roblox
try to ai generate my vtuber

[rich jetty]

i dont recommend using ai generation for that

if you're trying to get a model out of it, it wont turn out well

[bronze mango]

im trying to get image

model is gonna be made from image by someone who i can pay for it

[mortal mica]

My Cinnamoroll Miku Nendo has shipped!

very frustrating

another small package arrive from Japan:

I was hunting for some small FFX figures and now I have the complete set from the Coca Cola collab from 2001:

[tribal thunder]

i want the cinnamiku lol

[rich jetty]

you could file a complaint about the pre-order bonus missing

[mortal mica]

Yup, complaint filed

[turbid wing]

Did ff10 have any re make?

[delicate spruce]

What was the preorder bonus? I pre-ordered from HLJ but haven't opened her up yet due to our renovation.

Shes home!

[delicate spruce]

Dang, those are really cute.

I seriously like that meat. 🍖 lmao

[timid smelt]

I got the meat but I dont have a character who it fits

I wish I got the pumpkin or carrot

[mortal mica]

How did your coffee cup arrive? Was it taped to the box?

[timid smelt]

It came next to the meat

Yours shouldve been with your onigiri

[mortal mica]

Bummer, someone fell asleep while packing my box

[timid smelt]

🥲Nooo

Im so sorry

[rich jetty]

Time to wait for Elizabeth

That way I can have then both on my desk

I originally got Elizabeth to go in the PC

But I'm too lazy to open it up rn

Next time I do is when I change the AiO, eventually

[bronze mango]

when will it be

[rich jetty]

I'll probs pull that trigger in like a month or so

[bronze mango]

[mortal mica]

that's what I'm talking about. Getting the right figure to match the theme of the build

[rich jetty]

My desk right now

From left to right:
Elsie Nendoroid
Haqua Nendoroid
Dizzy Nendoroid
Black Frost Nendoroid
Pyro Jack Nendoroid
Aigis Collector's Edition statue
Joker Nendoroid
Yu Narukami Nendoroid
Makoto Yuki Nendoroid
Maya Nendoroid

I'm missing:
Jack Frost Nendoroid
Tatsuya Nendoroid

Ordered:
Persona 3 Reload Elizabeth statue

I'm trying to make room for my Cynthia and Garchomp

I found room

[mortal mica]

Ouch, that Jack Frost Nendo is $100+. Hope Good Smile will release him again

[rich jetty]

Yep

It's been years since it originally dropped

I just want it so bad

Pyro Jack even came with a body for Jack Frost that can have Jack Frost ride on it

[mortal mica]

2018

And someone is selling Tatsuya for $60: https://a.co/d/0dihwFgQ

But that new Aigis figure looks super tall next to the nendos

[rich jetty]

I asked for.it for Christmas when it was in stock. Didn't get it ;-;

[rich jetty]

A queen amongst her people

[mortal mica]

It's in stock now

And shipped

[rich jetty]

I mean in stock with Good Smile, when it was $45

[mortal mica]

Only $15 extra and that's with shipping since Amazon, really not bad

[rich jetty]

True

[delicate spruce]

Need her

Aaand pre-ordered. 🥰

[mortal mica]

speaking of pre-orders, we were just talking about Oshi no Ko: https://www.siliconera.com/new-oshi-no-ko-ai-figure-will-include-baby-aqua-and-ruby/

$200 for a 1/7

I don't like the anime enough to order this

but in case anyone is interested

[bronze mango]

strange question but does anyone has or had skylander figures there

[turbid wing]

I like anime but not this specific anime to buy this

[bronze mango]

when when

[tribal thunder]

so prettyyy

[mortal mica]

Oh geez, spotted these 3 at my local Walmart today 👀

[turbid wing]

BEST FRIENDO!!

Whats your type?

[jaunty axle]

I can’t tell you that i would get cancelled

💆‍♀️

[bronze mango]

for some reason i actually spent some time thinking about that topic

and i still can't come with a direct answer

seems like my mind can't choose one from many

[rich jetty]

SHES HOME

[mortal mica]

She'll fit right in with the rest of the crew

[rich jetty]

Time for me to order my 280 AIO, then imma reassemble my PC with the new fans and the AIO with her inside

[bronze mango]

hell yeah

[rich jetty]

I'm still debating on getting the poseable figure to sit on the GPU

[mortal mica]

You have the P3 Y60 right? She's not going to fill that space enough

[rich jetty]

I do, I currently have the P3 Reload Aigis Figure inside

I'm debating getting the ArtFX MC statue as well to match the Elizabeth

In stock at CD Japan

[mortal mica]

That Aigis figure has a big stand

This one is a standard flat circle

[rich jetty]

The Aigis stand fits alongside the Elizabeth stand

[mortal mica]

Okay

That's perfect

[rich jetty]

While it's bigger for a small figure, it is still smaller than Elizabeth's stand

[mortal mica]

It's more about the height variations

[mortal mica]

Pricey

[mortal mica]

This will work well

[mortal mica]

And the look from the outside? With that printed side panel on?

[rich jetty]

Getting ready for work, will send later

[mortal mica]

No rush

Have a good day/night at work

[mortal mica]

good job taking the photos, but wow, those printed TG panels are really hard to see through

[rich jetty]

yeah, much harder than expected :/

i might look to pick up clear panels to replace the front and side (keeping the corner piece), and then hanging the front/side printed panels as wall art

[bronze mango]

i had an idea

as my build is all black

why dont i get that one dark element skylander crystal just coz it would look pretty epic

looked up prices

from 90$-150$ for one

i dont think those 90$-150$ worth paying for just a useless crystal

[mortal mica]

Best bet to send a support ticket

[bronze mango]

also i wonder how it lights up

like, some figures light up when placed on that special skylanders pod

does it just conduct electricity or something?

black magic ig

looks like no magic

[mortal mica]

new Gundam pre-order arrived from Bandai today:

[mortal mica]

new plushies from Sanrio x Chupa Chups:

really hard to resist a food collab

and the 1/6 NT Style Casual Wear Miku figure (https://myfigurecollection.net/item/1618592) came in:

only 4 pieces:

metal stud in the base:

the figure:

and finally figured out what is in her hand:

she was apparently putting on her wireless earbuds

couple of other details:

super excited about the other casual wear Mikus that I've ordered

[worldly tusk]

she doesn't really "fit" in there can't turn her in any way cause the hair is to wide

[tropic granite]

I have Skye chilling on top of my PC case

[turbid wing]

I think i know you

[mortal mica]

We were literally playing with that toy this weekend at a friend's birthday party

The kids literally had every single vehicle, not just Skye

[worldly tusk]

ive been on this server awhile but inactive the last months lol

[turbid wing]

Do u have some coolest set up?

Becoz i somehow remembered it

Like u got long monitor?

[worldly tusk]

re-aranged it today

[turbid wing]

Ultrawide

Ohh

New set up?

[turbid wing]

New photo

[turbid wing]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[bronze mango]

bright.

[turbid wing]

This is best

I mean

[bronze mango]

very bright.

[worldly tusk]

no direct light towards the place you'd sit so nothing is blinding or distracting

[bronze mango]

still feels very bright to me

like if there is something about it

i don't know what exactly

[worldly tusk]

its a display for the most part so ofc it's gotta be bright in some way

[bronze mango]

i think thats because its shot during the day, that's why it feels bright for me

is there night pic yet

[turbid wing]

Just curious question

U live alone right?

[worldly tusk]

no

with my mother

[bronze mango]

does she approve the collection

[worldly tusk]

idk lol

I pay it with my money so it doesn't really matter

[turbid wing]

Same question

Was mine

[turbid wing]

But ig this answer my question

[worldly tusk]

I also don't really care if she does or doesn't

[turbid wing]

Honestly i want similar collection to u

But

My family....

Will think me weird

[worldly tusk]

not really

[turbid wing]

Yes really

[worldly tusk]

I'd say it's pretty normal to be considerate towards the people you're living with

it's usually also the safer approach

[turbid wing]

I probably get some figures when i have chance

Like in few months

Becoz

Rn trying to complete my set up

But surely will get some

Even though it won't be much as u

I dont have space

[worldly tusk]

quality over quantity it is then

[turbid wing]

Yes

More like space issue

[worldly tusk]

there's probably a good amount of people in here who have alot more then I do

[turbid wing]

Ik

[worldly tusk]

with figures you'll usually just find space when you need it

[turbid wing]

I wonder where i can put figures in my set up

[turbid wing]

True

[worldly tusk]

some figure bases are ass tho and don't really help with the spacing issue

[bronze mango]

small lego set inside a pc

[turbid wing]

Sad

[turbid wing]

Lego nah

[bronze mango]

I don't find other appropriate for small cases

[turbid wing]

Ic

[tropic granite]

Ooh, nice

[tropic granite]

Wow. Must be an avid fan, heh

[worldly tusk]

not much different

[bronze mango]

now looks fine to me

[worldly tusk]

made the light in the cabinet warmer

[bronze mango]

tho the glowing cabinet is pretty bright at night

[worldly tusk]

I'd say that's the camera making it brighter then it really is

[mortal mica]

Seems like you've turned in your room again

[worldly tusk]

had to change things cause I counted my current running pre orders and I had no space left

[mortal mica]

Yeah, I built an extra keyboard pegboard wall recently:

Too many #1071070910989209661 and the Waifu shelf was getting full too

[turbid wing]

I want that kinda of problem in my life

[bronze mango]

i honestly don't

[worldly tusk]

alot of individual light spots lol

[mortal mica]

it's the easiest way to through light. I didn't really want to bother running diffusers

sort of a continuation of the lighting approach for the figure shelf that was already on top of the desk

[worldly tusk]

ic

how much is one of those

[mortal mica]

Govee stuff goes on sale quite a bit, these were from Prime Day for $50 a piece

cheaper than the stupid hex lights

[worldly tusk]

50 for a single one of those wth

or how many are connected on those

I've never seen those things here even on amazon

[mortal mica]

15 lights on a 10ft strand

[worldly tusk]

90 without sale damn

[tropic granite]

Here's my figurine collection (plus airplanes) at my apartment room

I wish I had a more recent photo. Sadly, the most recent photo I have is while I was cleaning up my workspace, which was 3 months ago 🙃

I'm currently at my home town for summer break, if anyone's wondering

[turbid wing]

I am more interested in planes

[tropic granite]

Good to know :D

[turbid wing]

Looks really cool

[tropic granite]

They're paper models, if you're wondering

[tropic granite]

I would send it here, but I don't think it counts as a figurine

[mortal mica]

I see Asama Tomo along with some other figures that @worldly tusk would like

[grizzled jetty]

Waited like 10 months for the mashu fig

[turbid wing]

Damnnnn

[mortal mica]

Life of pre-ordering

[turbid wing]

0_0

10 months

[grizzled jetty]

Yeah significant delay from supplier side

[turbid wing]

Too much time

[turbid wing]

Did u get some compensation?

For such long delay

[grizzled jetty]

It was suppose to be a new year arrival fig but arrived at new year

The next years

[grizzled jetty]

Nope

[turbid wing]

Sad

[mortal mica]

Nope

[grizzled jetty]

Can’t rmb if it was through amiami

[mortal mica]

I recently ordered this Miku from Amazon:

(Recent = earlier this year)

[turbid wing]

Btw

Give me suggestion

[mortal mica]

Was supposed to ship in July

It's now August

[turbid wing]

More rgb or figures

[mortal mica]

New shipping date is beginning of September, supposedly

[grizzled jetty]

How much space or rgb you already have

[grizzled jetty]

Hopefully they don’t delay it any further

[mortal mica]

He has none

[turbid wing]

Well lets say i have entire new hub

Argb hub

[grizzled jetty]

I’ll say figures

[mortal mica]

You need to get that big Luffy figure

Now that you have a Y70

You can actually fit it inside the case

[turbid wing]

Yeah

[grizzled jetty]

Yes exactly

[turbid wing]

Thats why I am asking

I should get figures

Instead of rgb for now

[grizzled jetty]

Yes

Figures

[turbid wing]

Ye

[mortal mica]

https://a.co/d/9qvxNTo

[turbid wing]

Ig time to decorate the case

[mortal mica]

Something like this or a Chinese knockoff

[turbid wing]

Wat.....

270$

Insane

280$

[mortal mica]

It's a Bandaid figure

[grizzled jetty]

Iirc this is pretty big

[mortal mica]

Not bad for such a big figure

[grizzled jetty]

Let me see if I can find any in Akiba tmr might drop by

[mortal mica]

Haha

[mortal mica]

Now you're just bragging

[grizzled jetty]

Holiday just started

I have 2 weeks to kill and it’s summer

[turbid wing]

That price is reasonable?

[grizzled jetty]

Yeah

[turbid wing]

Damn

[grizzled jetty]

1/4 scale figures go for abt that price

[turbid wing]

0_0

[grizzled jetty]

But one piece figures have no scales

[turbid wing]

True

[grizzled jetty]

So yup proportions might be abit weird at times

[mortal mica]

How much do you think I pay for my scale figures?

[turbid wing]

Maybe around 100$?

[grizzled jetty]

Which?

[turbid wing]

I thought

[mortal mica]

Scroll up

[grizzled jetty]

Miku?

Or higher up

[mortal mica]

Minami Kotori is my Waifu

[grizzled jetty]

Holy

[mortal mica]

I'm waiting on my last scale from her

Been into the "casual" wear Mikus

[grizzled jetty]

LL figures if it scaled I’m guessing 100, 110, might go up to 150 max. the kuji ones that’s they just sell or the non scaled ones probably 20-30

Miku depends probably 100-150

I’m doing a rough conversion from yen

[mortal mica]

200-300 here

[grizzled jetty]

Wtf 30000-45000 yen?

[mortal mica]

Shipping scale figures are expensive

[grizzled jetty]

Damn shipping

[mortal mica]

Yup

[grizzled jetty]

Meanwhile I’m trying to ship the other way round

[mortal mica]

Pick a Miku scale

I'll get you the price here in the US

Or better

That Racing Miku that was delayed from Amazon

[grizzled jetty]

Im checking jp prices on that

[mortal mica]

[grizzled jetty]

Ok I severely underestimated Miku prices

[grizzled jetty]

Shld be abt 200 +/-

Damn shipping

[mortal mica]

Yup

And it's only a 1/7 scale too

[grizzled jetty]

Exactly

[mortal mica]

My delivery person hates me

Always giant boxes

[grizzled jetty]

I’m not sure if it’s a US issue or JP issue

[mortal mica]

It's supply and demand

Otakus in US are used to these prices

[grizzled jetty]

Well if everything is expensive then it gets normal right

[mortal mica]

Correct

[grizzled jetty]

Oh god

[turbid wing]

F

[grizzled jetty]

They don’t have it on amiami?

[mortal mica]

Too new

And pre-order was sold out, last year?

[grizzled jetty]

Ok make sense

Shipping and supply and demand double trouble

[mortal mica]

Not as bad as forgetting a pre-order and ordering a second figure

[turbid wing]

I can imagine

Since it takes too much time

I wouldn't surprised if u forget

[mortal mica]

Guess what's coming?

Looks like I'll have to figure out what to do with a second one of this: #1217473726598221925 message

Probably going to just slap a return label on it and ship it right back to Entertainment Earth

[turbid wing]

U dont know urself?

[grizzled jetty]

Too much figures

[turbid wing]

I want that problem

[grizzled jetty]

Me 2

[mortal mica]

These pre-orders are made so far in advance

[turbid wing]

Damn

[worldly tusk]

longest delay I bad so far was like 18 months

[grizzled jetty]

which was the figure that you might like?

[turbid wing]

0_0

[worldly tusk]

he probably means the figures below asama tomo lol

also I'd consider it a crime that kimi aoi only has one scale figure

[grizzled jetty]

so thats sloth from sin nanatsu no taizai and shamsiel from kyonyuu fantasy

i think

if i didnt mess up their names

both strippable

[worldly tusk]

I have a few cast offs that's why but I'm insanely picky with the figures I order lol

[mortal mica]

"a few"

[grizzled jetty]

i see Irys The Bae PC Case and alot of bunny ears

[mortal mica]

@grizzled jetty, you'll have to scroll to the beginning of this thread

let me see if I can get you a link

[grizzled jetty]

gotcha ill scroll

[mortal mica]

nah

use search

here you go @grizzled jetty: #1217473726598221925 message

[grizzled jetty]

the sarashiki is nice, OMG DXD 1/4

[mortal mica]

unfortunately, I'm not mod, so I can't pin stuff

@worldly tusk was the second person to share their collection

[grizzled jetty]

and thats 1 expensive hello kitty

[mortal mica]

which one?

[grizzled jetty]

i think its the one ur daughter was holding? i was just scrolling thru the pics

i saw that pic and a hello kitty im assuming amazon priced pic or ebay for 789 or smth ard though numbers

[mortal mica]

just picked up the Care Bears collab the other day:

the hoods are NOT removable

unlike the KidRobot plushies

[grizzled jetty]

i want to use my emotes T.T

[mortal mica]

try again

[grizzled jetty]

cant

[mortal mica]

dang

[grizzled jetty]

will be able to use it eventually

[worldly tusk]

got the new DxD bunnies on Pre-order aswell

[mortal mica]

yeah, just hang out here from time to time

[grizzled jetty]

sadly all my stuff are in SG

[mortal mica]

and you'll be on the leader board in no time

[grizzled jetty]

and i dont have pics

[worldly tusk]

now that i have space again i can order figures every month again

[grizzled jetty]

something we dont have in asia

space

[mortal mica]

there's never enough space

[grizzled jetty]

anyway to check?

[worldly tusk]

i "only" have a single room to me where i can display them but yeah asia is another thing when it comes to space entirely

[grizzled jetty]

im mean the houses here are small

[mortal mica]

https://mee6.xyz/en/hyte

[mortal mica]

yeah, since I'm the house spouse, I get to decide how to decorate the house

[turbid wing]

Damnnn

[worldly tusk]

mans shoot himself to place one with the EVA build alone probably if all these messages count towards that

[mortal mica]

my office is probably the least packed and actually "displayed" properly:

[worldly tusk]

how do you get to the top shelves on the staircase

[mortal mica]

recently it's been mostly #1071070910989209661

[grizzled jetty]

apparenly it says im lv 12 color shld have changed but idk

[mortal mica]

but definitely will be posting about the new build that coming

can't wait until HYTE releases the new #🥶-thicc-cooling stuff and the Noodle

[grizzled jetty]

wow

[mortal mica]

after that, get the CPU and GPU and the build is practically done

[grizzled jetty]

kinda off topic but any recommendations on pc parts, get all at once or assemble bit by bit

[mortal mica]

#tech

or would you like me to start a thread in #1068283281293983764?

[grizzled jetty]

ill do it at tech

probs

still quite alot of 'ifs'

[worldly tusk]

is Miku getting Canonically thicker every year with her legs

[bronze mango]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[bronze mango]

oh god

thats too much

[worldly tusk]

looks like Atelier Ryza legs

[bronze mango]

too much

[mortal mica]

depends on the artist

[worldly tusk]

same guy this time who makes the ryza art/figure designs so that explains it

[mortal mica]

yeah, most Mikus legs aren't that thicc

[worldly tusk]

still wild that this gets accepted for a miku lol considering she's always been kinda slender

for the 2023 racing miku

[mortal mica]

I guess that's why I'm still buying all these 2021 Racing Mikus

[worldly tusk]

i like the new racing miku

looking like a witch

one day i hope to see a Goodsmile car in the Nürburgring 24 hour race to see all the germans mald at "cartoon character on car "

was already a discussion with the Subaru team this year with the yostar sponsor

"why are they here, how is this related to our race "

[bronze mango]

subaru nurburgring 24h?

didn't know

[worldly tusk]

a team with a single car

[worldly tusk]

if these racing miku scales weren't that insanely expensive compared to other 1/7 scales

[bronze mango]

they did a good job entering nurburgring

I don't think there were other Japanese companies except Toyota before them

[worldly tusk]

there have always been a few full japanese teams joining

like 2 years ago GR

but they always only send like one car

Japanese manufacturers just don't really build cars in general which you could make a GT3 car out of or anything similar performance wise

[bronze mango]

1.6L turbo

[worldly tusk]

engine is irrelevant for that, they are specifically made for the racecars anyway

but all chassis are ass for racing which they have

[bronze mango]

they use uz engines ones i think for gt3

[worldly tusk]

all Toyota has now is the new Supra but thats basically just BMW

[bronze mango]

i still like it tho for design and 2.0l variant

[worldly tusk]

Honda might join in with their NSX

[mortal mica]

With a ladder

[worldly tusk]

ladder on stairs

i was told to never do that at work

[mortal mica]

You were so close to hitting level 5

Probably just one more chat session, you'll be able to use external stuff

[mortal mica]

Yeah, I built an adapter thingy

Still scary to climb that high

[turbid wing]

Growth

[mortal mica]

unboxing night! always fun to get a box from Japan:

just 3 figures for this order, but a pretty large Miku 1/7 scale that ended up taking a bunch of space:

starting with the 1/7 scale Fireworks Miku, even though the item was listed as "used", the box was clearly sealed:

unboxing, 5 pieces in all:

surprised to find only plastic studs for the foot mount:

but the massive hair pieces have metal studs:

360 rotation:

details:

next is the last missing 1/8 scale figure for my waifu, Kotori Minami:

the box lid actually has her birb signature:

unboxing, not the most detailed scale, only 2 pieces:

the box's liner turns out to be a little background piece:

standard small foot stud since the figure isn't all that big:

360 rotation:

some details:

last is an Asuka prize figure:

bottom mount:

360 rotation:

details:

and that's it for today's haul from Japan

[grizzled jetty]

[turbid wing]

Getting stuff from customs are pain for me

Need to pay "extra"

[worldly tusk]

every figure without any art going on at the base should have this small clear base like the asuka

[mortal mica]

Haven't seen a figure without art on the base for a while now

[worldly tusk]

every single 1/4 scale bunny i have suffers from way to big bases without anything on there

[mortal mica]

I was a little bit taken back when I opened the Asuka figure

[worldly tusk]

biggest scam is my newest bunny

she sits on a stool which is in place with a magnet in the middle of the base

the rest of the plastic is basically a waste

[mortal mica]

This one?

[worldly tusk]

yeah

idek why i keep the base under her tbh can just not have it probably

[mortal mica]

I'm sure it's there to balance out the figure

She's got a pretty big hair thing going on

[worldly tusk]

she sits stable without it too

[mortal mica]

I see

[worldly tusk]

the stool is pretty heavy

and her ass is magnetic too

so she holds onto the stool via magnet aswell

[mortal mica]

Stools in general are pretty wobbly, even in real life

Especially one with a single post

I'm almost certain that the manufacturer wouldn't make a bigger base than necessary

Eats into the profit margins

[worldly tusk]

idk about that

there are so many 1/4 scales with insanely huge bases and a whole tutorial on how to make your own smaller ones

there are alot of upright standing ones with their legs being together and they have a base 5 times bigger then actually needed

best one is the New Jersey bunny

which has 5 bases i think

would still look so much better if they were transparent

[mortal mica]

I wonder why black bases are so common in your genre of figures

[worldly tusk]

one manufacturer does it perfectly

with very thick acrylic plates

and some sort of design on it

the rest is just basic colored semi transparent plates

[bronze mango]

very cool

[bronze mango]

so cool

i should get myself either a plushie or a figure

i prefer plushies tho

[turbid wing]

GIB MEEEEEEE

[bronze mango]

simp

[turbid wing]

for 2D characters

[bronze mango]

homie then

[mortal mica]

I will be emptying my wallet very quickly and run out of room in my house if stores like these existed

[grizzled jetty]

Think abt it though instead of buying 3 figures from Japan you can buy 4 now instead of paying for shipping

[mortal mica]

Yeah, good thing I'm pretty far from Japan

Please do share more

I love seeing these store pictures

You're helping me window shopping

Or is it Android shopping

Since I'm on my phone

[grizzled jetty]

When I go around definitely

[turbid wing]

Do live there

I will be sure to join

[grizzled jetty]

Yeah here for studies

[turbid wing]

C'mon

[worldly tusk]

1/4 scale

[turbid wing]

Gib. Me

[worldly tusk]

way to expensive tho

it'll drop in price after release most likely anyway

[crisp bridge]

this is one of the best ones i got it was risky i didnt know the store and paid good chuck if price but its worth it

😭

[worldly tusk]

she's 340€ here

[crisp bridge]

i wanted to get

the rem one as well

but it was already too much

[worldly tusk]

can only hope she stays in stock for a later purchase then i guess

[crisp bridge]

i wanted to use it inside my hyte case but its so nice and a waste to do

[worldly tusk]

don't do that

only use either cheap figures for that

[crisp bridge]

yes ik

[worldly tusk]

or noodle stoppers

[crisp bridge]

people will murder me for it

[worldly tusk]

cause noodle stopper figs actually survive in that heat

[crisp bridge]

will see really want to find good one inside the case

as character i like

but really hard

might be marin there is so many figures for her

[worldly tusk]

i need a case which can fit a 50cm figure

[crisp bridge]

am going safe with 25 cm

i dont know if should go 30 cm

[worldly tusk]

really just dependso n the figure you wanna get

even on cheap ones i wouldn't recommend any which are prone to leaning

i have a Pop up parade Yoko Littner figure which leans like crazy and it just gets worse when in the case cause of the temperature

at one point she'll probably just fall into the fans then

[crisp bridge]

new nightmare unlocked

[worldly tusk]

she already leans alot by default but yeah

as long as the figure stands on like 2 legs it should be fine

[crisp bridge]

uff

well i think ill just put this emilia with my other collection

[worldly tusk]

at least a bae figure is coming out "soon" which can probably go in my Bae case

[crisp bridge]

my only problem with this figure its the box

is big

ill have to figure out where i put it

[worldly tusk]

the biggest struggle with collecting 1/4 scales

[crisp bridge]

any ideas about these two ? i did not see any reviews

the bandai one comes as bundle if you buy all

[worldly tusk]

I think sega price figures are really good quality wise for the very cheap price tag they usually have

at least that's the common thing I read about them with their last few figures. can't tell you my experience with price figs cause I don't have any myself sadly

[crisp bridge]

i do have couple yes they are really nice

[crisp bridge]

bit higher price depends on the figure but always comes really detailed

thats my experience so far

still didnt regret a single furyu or sega figure yet

[worldly tusk]

scales usually cost like at least 3 times as much as the price figures I believe and I don't think you always get 3 times the amount of detail

I have 2 purchases I somewhat regret

[crisp bridge]

i hope its out of 50

or big number

i dont know i usually check everyone who bought it if i dont like i dont buy

i dont risk product without a review

[worldly tusk]

quality wise they are "fine" for the price but I just don't really like the "theme" anymore as they are swimsuit figures which I don't usually buy tbh

[crisp bridge]

grass 😭

[worldly tusk]

out of 41 I think, not really sure how many figures I have

[worldly tusk]

grass?

[turbid wing]

How much

[crisp bridge]

i did not check

but should be somewhat fairly priced

[turbid wing]

Idk what is fairly prices for these items

[crisp bridge]

also prices are different from the stores i can buy from sadly

[crisp bridge]

if i would price a 1 be around 50 usd maybe ? i dont know figures are not cheap

you buy 2 you end up with 300 usd

[turbid wing]

0_0

[crisp bridge]

[turbid wing]

Nvm that i ask price

[crisp bridge]

ill check later am now looking for eva figures

as usual this anime gets the most overpriced figures

in existance

[turbid wing]

Ye

[worldly tusk]

these price figs don't have a retail prize since you usually just get them out of crane games in japan but they are usually somewhat priced below 50

[crisp bridge]

i hate people here japan isnt far they go take alot of figures and sell them in retail shops here but we insane price increase

[worldly tusk]

most stupid price I've seen so far was misaka mikoto 1/4 bunny being nearly 500€ here after tax and shipping at least but still, she's the most bland bunny possible

[crisp bridge]

this like 20% of my salary almost for a figure

so if i buy 5 ill be starving for whole month

[worldly tusk]

I have one figure I heavily overpaid for which was nearly 500€ but I also got really lucky with another one I bought cause I got her for way to cheap

[crisp bridge]

you live in germany your overpriced is way too overpriced for my overpriced

sorry this is brainrot message but cant explain it more

[worldly tusk]

I think.i understand what you mean lol all good

the VAT on top of it I have to pay when the figure comes here is always alot so yeah

[crisp bridge]

i plan for vaccation to japan ill make sure i bring everything with me back to home

[crisp bridge]

whats the vat % for you ?

[worldly tusk]

19%

[crisp bridge]

close to mine

15%

but prices are lower here eitherway

also iknow someone from portugal they get taxed on funds entering their bank account

depends on the salary the gov takes more

happy to not be from there

[worldly tusk]

wouldn't you still get taxed on the things you brought in when you come back from japan at least thats how it is here

[crisp bridge]

no they dont

[worldly tusk]

[crisp bridge]

i know its dumb but they dont care unless

its official shipped

[worldly tusk]

here you get possibly jailtime if you try to hide the stuff you bring in and they find out

[crisp bridge]

well here they dont care what inside the bags

as long its not explosive c4

iirc correctly they would tax you if you bring too much stuff like if you bring for example 3 new iphones they dont care

if you bring insane amounts like 50 or 60

they will

for cars they do too

but toys as they call it they never but do not make it obvious

[turbid wing]

Same

If u bringing brand new items

Sealed packed

Then u have to pay import tax

[worldly tusk]

i'm not gonna risk that when i go to japan in a few years

@crisp bridge how big is your current collection or what figures in general do you have currently if i'm allowed to ask

[crisp bridge]

ill show u soon once its organized very well

[worldly tusk]

[crisp bridge]

i own around 28 currently and i dont know i have so many shipments so might be around 40 by then

[worldly tusk]

holy quarter of the collection on Pre order

[crisp bridge]

i risked

there is some cheap ones

but reviews are nice sooo ill wait

[turbid wing]

I am going next year probably

(Gonna loot the japan)

Hopefully no one gonna catch me

[worldly tusk]

me and my friends planed on going there in like 2 years

i'm probably gonna yoink a car from there

[turbid wing]

We planned next year

But no guaranteed

Since visa is kinda complicated

To get for japan

[grizzled jetty]

I’ll see if there’s any in Akiba

[crisp bridge]

[worldly tusk]

you still in there?

[grizzled jetty]

Yup

[worldly tusk]

how does the Hina figure actually look like in person

[grizzled jetty]

At kaikan amiami now

BA hina?

[worldly tusk]

in the first pic the purple one at the bottom

yeah BA Hina

[grizzled jetty]

1 sec

[worldly tusk]

cause the manufacturer is usually known for making the worst figures on the market lol

[grizzled jetty]

Face feels off

[worldly tusk]

oh yeah

base mega boring aswell

[worldly tusk]

guess i dodged a bullet by not getting her

[grizzled jetty]

39600 yen

Defo

[worldly tusk]

thank you very much for the picture

[grizzled jetty]

Anytime

[worldly tusk]

can they stop making AL bunnies i'm not that rich

[grizzled jetty]

Haha

Maybe if tax weren’t so crazy

[turbid wing]

Get me grayfia

[turbid wing]

C-can i as-ask for pr-price?

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-and-take-my-money-futurama-fry-take-my-money-money-gif-15195954

[grizzled jetty]

Where

[worldly tusk]

stop teasing me

[turbid wing]

First pic, maid

[turbid wing]

Broooo fr, i wanna go and grab those

[grizzled jetty]

Oh

I was thinking of did grayfia

Gimme a moment I went up

[turbid wing]

Perfect Maid

[worldly tusk]

the freeing 1/4 bunnies from Azur Lane aren't even getting sold in germany so i'd have to order them from amiami or so which kinda sucks for me

[grizzled jetty]

It’s cheaper to buy local then from amiami?

I didn’t know she looked so good

[worldly tusk]

it's less of a hassle while being slightly more expensive sometimes or same price

cause paying the tax here only happens in person when the delivery guy arrives here and when i'm not here when the guy delivers the package goes straight back to japan

[turbid wing]

I have question

[grizzled jetty]

That’s messed up

[turbid wing]

Should i buy local

Or from

Amiami

@grizzled jetty @worldly tusk answer this question

[worldly tusk]

depends on the local options and their pricing

[grizzled jetty]

I’ll say amiami

My experience so far has been pretty good

Shipping to SG

[turbid wing]

Can i ask for reason?

[grizzled jetty]

Pretty much order and wait

[worldly tusk]

especially when you pick surface shipping which takes a month to arrive or so but is dirt cheap then AmiAmi is the way to go 100%

[grizzled jetty]

No tax

[turbid wing]

Ic

[grizzled jetty]

And local don’t earn the middleman fee

[turbid wing]

I will purchase next month

[grizzled jetty]

So cheaper

[turbid wing]

Will dont go anything above 400$

Like total budget

Want to get multiple figures

With that amount

[grizzled jetty]

Usd?

[worldly tusk]

Tax might still happen tho

[turbid wing]

Yes

[grizzled jetty]

Idk abt ur country law

[turbid wing]

Insane tax rate

[turbid wing]

Around 44% i think

For import taxes/duties

[grizzled jetty]

39600 yen

[turbid wing]

How much dollar

[grizzled jetty]

Wtf

36000

[turbid wing]

Damn

[turbid wing]

250$

[turbid wing]

Looks amazing w

Not the price

Tho

[grizzled jetty]

I have not seen the oshi no ko ones yet

Here more bunnies

[worldly tusk]

NOOOOOOOOO

[grizzled jetty]

Literal bunny

[worldly tusk]

i want their display cabinets with the mirror in the back

[grizzled jetty]

And at the bottom plz

[worldly tusk]

i have two figures with Mirror base

adding mirror floors is also alot easier then a back panel at least in the Ikea display cases

[grizzled jetty]

Kbooks time

[worldly tusk]

lol that toki full size pad

66k yen holy

[grizzled jetty]

Yes not exactly 1 to 1 tho

Been here for like 4 months

[worldly tusk]

still big enough to be unusable as "mousepad" i think thats the term what they are selling it under

the oshi no ko ones you might not be able to find in there since they are price figures specifically for crane games usually

[grizzled jetty]

Ahh

So find them in arcades

Got it

[turbid wing]

Suddenly i wanna live in japan

[worldly tusk]

idk if they display the figures you can win in arcades tho

[worldly tusk]

i don't lol

their work ethic is insane

[grizzled jetty]

Time to find out

[worldly tusk]

can only get the MFC links which have a small amount of pictures of them in the gallery

face of Memcho looks a bit "interesting"

[grizzled jetty]

Ok wrong one

[worldly tusk]

close enough

[grizzled jetty]

1 arcade down

Time for dinz

[worldly tusk]

how do you go through all these stores without buying anything

[grizzled jetty]

I don’t have a cabinet in my place to house them without damaging by accident

So I rather not buy

[worldly tusk]

i don't think that could stop me

[grizzled jetty]

Purely due to not damaging the figure

[worldly tusk]

i have a few standing outside of a cabinet on shelves

with a cat running around

so far nothing happened

[grizzled jetty]

Found it
