Figures and Plushies

[worldly tusk]

with prices

[grizzled jetty]

No sample for arima tho

@crisp bridge

[turbid wing]

Just wanna ask

If i do robbery

Whats the punishment

[grizzled jetty]

Good question

Never tried it before honestly

Up to 10 year jail and 500k yen fine

For theft

[worldly tusk]

and probably not allowed to enter the building again

so gotta make that one chance count

[turbid wing]

That's sad

[worldly tusk]

i mean, you're not supposed to steal

[turbid wing]

Its not stealing

I am just...borrowing

For an unknown period of time

[worldly tusk]

but without the intent of giving back

[bronze mango]

goverment be like

[mortal mica]

Dang it, completely missed Rain's walk through the figure store

[worldly tusk]

probably for the better

he reminded me about two azur lane bunnies I kinda want, but don't wanna spend on

[mortal mica]

I don't think I've spotted any Miku's

I should have most of them on pre-order already

[grizzled jetty]

I saw 1 but forgot to snap a pic couldnt see the inside though

[mortal mica]

It's fine

Thanks for sharing the store photos though

[crisp bridge]

luvu

ill get them then, they really look nice

am currently at work sol ill respond later

[crisp bridge]

i love working 😊

[worldly tusk]

i have no idea what i'm looking at

other then money transfers which i could possibly want

[crisp bridge]

i manage people payments and accounts

also antifraud cases

i love my job and hate it depends on the day

[turbid wing]

Nice

[turbid wing]

Pay good?

[worldly tusk]

i love the people at my work but not the work itself i just want more money to spend sensless on plastic and it's okay for that considering that i don't do much really

[crisp bridge]

wont be working in bank with this amount of stress without a good pay

ill say yes i get paid very well more than expected really

specially am on new project within the bank

[turbid wing]

Nice

[turbid wing]

I mean its u dont like ur work then its a chore

If u like the work

Then its a hobby

[worldly tusk]

the people i work with make it bearable

[turbid wing]

Thats nice

[crisp bridge]

you mind sharing your job title

sorry for asking this

mine is anti fraud officer not any good tilte 😊

[worldly tusk]

lmao no worries

i'm just a electrician for industries

[turbid wing]

Thats sounds kinda tiring

[worldly tusk]

used to build custom KUKA industry robots for car manufacturers and so on aswell but that was just was to much stress for the amount of money i got

[crisp bridge]

i used to study

electrical eng

but i quit

[turbid wing]

Relatable

My brain is weak

[worldly tusk]

i'm not even going to start cause i know i won't be motivated for that especially since you can work yourself up in that workfield without a degree

at least here

[crisp bridge]

here no degree no job

even if you are really good

am on my last year as IT / networking

[turbid wing]

I means if u r really good then surely some companies must be there for skills

Not some paper

[crisp bridge]

there is but even known ones like microsoft google

[turbid wing]

Ye

[crisp bridge]

dont accept here without degree

i dont know its the country standards

[turbid wing]

Thats kinda bs, but yes u could still earn through freelancing

Its fortunate

That freelancing is not limited to one country

[worldly tusk]

for certain jobs you need a specific degree regardless of how good you are

but they changed it here that you can do some leading jobs/tasks when you have several years of experience in a certain field

[crisp bridge]

i dont know i dont bother really i have 6 years banking experience i moved from customer service to anti fraud and once i get my degree ill have better position

[turbid wing]

True

Experience matters more

I think

Then degree

Ofc for first time

[worldly tusk]

but the degree teaches you things you might not be able to get with just experience

especially in a leading position

where you have to "order people around"

[crisp bridge]

i agree

[turbid wing]

Well true

[crisp bridge]

degree is not wasted as people say

[turbid wing]

Well here it might be

Becoz of corruption

[worldly tusk]

these positions which could be used for lobbying wouldn't even be up for grabs for the general public usually

[grizzled jetty]

im still looking for possible jobs, currently still studying but feeling the lack of money

[bronze mango]

i always feel broke

[crisp bridge]

found them fairly priced here each is 15 usd sadly there is no bundle for all the 3 so ill get one

ty for the effort

[grizzled jetty]

[worldly tusk]

they are 40€ each here wth

[mortal mica]

Got hit with an ad for this from Good Smile: https://www.goodsmileus.com/product/ai-aqua-amp-ruby-mother-and-children-13133

Was tempting until I saw the Q3 2025 delivery date

[worldly tusk]

goodsmile doesn't allow cancellations wth

[mortal mica]

Plus I really don't think this figure will sell well

I'm not about to lock my money up for a whole year for this pre-order

[worldly tusk]

alot of figures appear as in stock items after release nowadays so per orders really only make sense for things you'd really regret not having

the shimakaze bunny on her stool for example even was on sale shortly after release so yeah

[mortal mica]

Yup, so skipping this one until next year

But I did see the sitting figures in Hot Topic the other day:

[worldly tusk]

only one pre order for 2025 so far this gonna be the year I save money

[mortal mica]

My 2025 pre-order so far:

Supposedly getting here in May 2025

Japan is getting it in January

[worldly tusk]

only this so far unless dxd bunny gets delayed

[worldly tusk]

how many mikus do you actually own

[crisp bridge]

found them

way

cheaper

with box

and new

i dont know maybe the seller is dumb but they are verified seller

[worldly tusk]

that's very nice then

hopefully they meet the expectations then

[crisp bridge]

didnt order yet am really arguing if i can survive this month so far

[crisp bridge]

surprised they are so overpriced

for you

i have it half price here from official store

oh

nvm

its really

30 usd

and only 6 left -_-

[mortal mica]

Hmmm, starting from right to left: a Snow Miku, Season 2 (all 4 seasons), a couple of Sakura Miku's, both Cinnamoroll collab, and a Racing Miku, all prize figures. The 2 recent scales (NT Casual and Summer Fireworks) that I've shared above. I've got 2 more scales pre-ordered, the 2021 Racing Miku Private version and the Hanami Sakura Miku.

I've lost count, but I have quite a few Miku Nendoroids as well, some which I've also shared before in this thread

Like this Family Mart Miku Nendo: #1217473726598221925 message

[worldly tusk]

I'm glad I'm not in the miku collection game, there's way to much of them

[mortal mica]

I don't try to get them all

I've literally picked one from each of the popular series

There are so many of them and each of the popular lines have multiple by year

I don't think I'll have enough room if I tried to get them all

As for my actual Waifu, Kotori

I have nearly all her figures

#1217473726598221925 message

And recently found the Birthday scale: #1217473726598221925 message

[worldly tusk]

you could at some later time maybe check myfigurecollection.net if people start to sell them, they wouldn't be completely new by then but at least you'd be able to get them possibly

[worldly tusk]

holy shit the german price for the 1/4 saber

[bronze mango]

its more than my pc

[mortal mica]

I mean, it's an Alter figure

you know the quality is going to be there

[worldly tusk]

i guess there is a reason they didn't sell the New Jersey bunny outside of Japan cause of the pricing

[worldly tusk]

it's a freeing figure

alter cause thats part of her name

[mortal mica]

oh

nevermind

[worldly tusk]

a 1/4 scale by alter

i'd insta buy

JP price is 340€

even with tax and shipping i it'll not reach 580€

seems like people don't wanna buy it cause it's pricing is insane

[grizzled jetty]

holy shit the price

[boreal vault]

this one

[worldly tusk]

[turbid wing]

Nicer

[turbid wing]

I bet @mortal mica must have it too

[mortal mica]

Nope

Limiting myself to the "real" clothes Miku's

[turbid wing]

Ohh

Ic ic

[turbid wing]

That classic green, white, black

[mortal mica]

But super pretty

[turbid wing]

Agreed

[worldly tusk]

figure shopping without setting limits will make you homeless

[boreal vault]

the yoneyama mai one?

[turbid wing]

Yeah....

[mortal mica]

Not at all, the new Racing Miku I'm getting, she's wearing a white dress:

[turbid wing]

Even though I don't owned any yet

[turbid wing]

But seeing prices enough to make me realise

[boreal vault]

this one with this much detail for the price is amazing

[turbid wing]

Ohh this

[mortal mica]

How is that "real"?

[worldly tusk]

I wish I had the music box miku which came out I think earlier this year or last year

[turbid wing]

https://tenor.com/view/miku-anime-dropkick-shopping-dropkick-my-devil-gif-26190208

I thought it will be like this

[boreal vault]

at this point idk what is real miku lol

[turbid wing]

Clothing I mean

[boreal vault]

she appears in too much stuff

[mortal mica]

Good point

[boreal vault]

and there is like at least 20 OG miku figs

[bronze mango]

miku

[worldly tusk]

I think with 20 you're sitting a bit to low

[boreal vault]

and then there are the snow miku variants that gets released everyear

20 scale figures

[mortal mica]

It all started with this NT Casual Style for me: #1217473726598221925 message

[boreal vault]

if you include the cheaper ones then yea there is far more

[worldly tusk]

even then I think 20 is a low number considering she got nearly 2000 figures overall

[boreal vault]

tru

[mortal mica]

Kind of what I mean by "real" clothes

[boreal vault]

there is even the movie coming out what next year?

[worldly tusk]

[boreal vault]

im sure the merch drops are gonna be hurting miku stan wallets

[worldly tusk]

miku stans wallets bleed all year long

[boreal vault]

I personally just like to see the cloth designs of some of the figs

[worldly tusk]

I'm sure they are used to that amd ready to whale

[boreal vault]

since they have the budget to make it really detailed

and people will still buy it

[worldly tusk]

just like the people buying way to expensive 1/4 scales

[boreal vault]

like this one too

the design is really nice

[worldly tusk]

cheeks

[turbid wing]

She somehow looks divine

[boreal vault]

miku is always divine

[turbid wing]

Not this miku

[boreal vault]

best fig tho

[turbid wing]

Lmao

[turbid wing]

+1

[worldly tusk]

if my sleep paralysis demon would look like that I'd just give up

[boreal vault]

lmao

[bronze mango]

im dead

[turbid wing]

I wonder how my sleep paralysis demon looks like

[boreal vault]

like miku is one of the only characters that artists can draw and have manufactures make figs like this and not lose money

[turbid wing]

Princess

[mortal mica]

Good thing I'm just a casual collector of figures

[turbid wing]

U. r. Not. Casual

[worldly tusk]

im soon about to fall down the horse girl figure rabbit hole

[boreal vault]

casual?

with your gundam collection

[mortal mica]

Very casual

[boreal vault]

well there are people that go above and beyond

[mortal mica]

Exactly

[bronze mango]

spiderman

[boreal vault]

our club advisor/teacher literally can't open his door

[mortal mica]

I just buy whatever appeals to me

[worldly tusk]

if he's casual I'm not even a collector

[boreal vault]

since he has too many gundam kits and boxes

[turbid wing]

+1

[mortal mica]

I guess I'm casual for Miku figures

[boreal vault]

legit the boxes of gundam he has ranges from 40years ago to now

[mortal mica]

What I really collect are Hot Wheels

Really tempted this morning

[boreal vault]

expensive hobby too

[worldly tusk]

if I'd collect model cars I'd be in debt

even if it's just 1:64 scales

[boreal vault]

he has 7 cars

whats model cars to him

[mortal mica]

Haul from the supermarket the other day

[boreal vault]

gtr

[mortal mica]

From Gran Turismo

[worldly tusk]

good thing that owning more then one car in germany already gives you severe money problems as an average person

[boreal vault]

nah im not owning a car anytime soon

with parking spaces here costing as much as a bmw nah

[worldly tusk]

public transport is not reliable enough here to use that for everything

[mortal mica]

There are some crazy expensive 1/64 now

[worldly tusk]

saw recently a eva 02 gr yaris

[boreal vault]

the old hotwheels cost more than my life

[worldly tusk]

was very tempting

but I can't be starting that

not when I want to start buying umamusume figures soon-ish

[boreal vault]

max factory ones are awesome

[mortal mica]

I thought it was the GR86 https://www.art-toys.co/eva-rt-model-02-gr86-toyota.html

[worldly tusk]

I meant 01

[mortal mica]

But yeah, I have a few diecast cars

[worldly tusk]

damn split keyboard

[boreal vault]

the new tokai teio is in PO

my friend's wallet died

[mortal mica]

Ah, this one: https://www.modelcarshouston.com/products/preorder-pop-race-1-64-toyota-gr-yaris-pandem-eva-rt-test-type-01-goodride

[worldly tusk]

I'm still resisting this

[worldly tusk]

[boreal vault]

don't resist

the midriff

[worldly tusk]

I have to

I want her when she comes out

[bronze mango]

grey

[mortal mica]

Preproduction

[boreal vault]

[bronze mango]

oh

[mortal mica]

Before coloring

[bronze mango]

understood

[boreal vault]

greyscale prototype

[worldly tusk]

these horse girls got nice midriffs

[boreal vault]

there is a reason I only played priconne and not uma

[turbid wing]

I have an unusual addiction for hotwheels

In childhood

[boreal vault]

played starrail but casual, now ZZZ is hurting me wallet again

[mortal mica]

I have thousands

[turbid wing]

I saw

[turbid wing]

Do u have those tracks?

Racing tracks

[mortal mica]

Yes, for my kids

[turbid wing]

Nice

[mortal mica]

I'll try to remember to grab a photo this weekend

[boreal vault]

I don't have friends that collect hotwheels but I have one that collects tomika

[turbid wing]

Like super big one, medium?

[worldly tusk]

I had to stop myself with all gachas

[boreal vault]

he also has thousands if not more

[turbid wing]

Ye agreed

[mortal mica]

I have every single tomika released in the US

[boreal vault]

please no more, wallet died

[worldly tusk]

worst one money wise was azur lane

[mortal mica]

There was a period when Walmart released them

[turbid wing]

U use real money in games?

[mortal mica]

https://tomica.fandom.com/wiki/Walmart-Limited_Tomica_(toyline)

[boreal vault]

damn, I think he has alot more than I saw, since he is friends with one of the tomika distributors in TW

[worldly tusk]

how else am I going to look at animated bunny girls who react to my finger when I touch my screen

[turbid wing]

Lmao

[boreal vault]

yes I pay for pngs on my screen

[turbid wing]

I mean grind?

And get it for free

[mortal mica]

Yeah, only 34 made it here

[boreal vault]

too expensive for me

[mortal mica]

I have a few duplicates, but I have all 34

[boreal vault]

simply collecting vtuber merch already hurts my wallet

[worldly tusk]

in azur lane you can not really grind for the skins

[turbid wing]

Remember "casual collector"

[mortal mica]

Released from 2019-2021

[boreal vault]

and I only have like 3 oshi

[mortal mica]

And ended because they didn't sell well

[boreal vault]

that I buy merch of consistantly

[turbid wing]

Damn

Sad

[boreal vault]

sad

[mortal mica]

I didn't say I was a casual collector of diecast cars

[worldly tusk]

for me it's just one gladly

[turbid wing]

Oh ic

[mortal mica]

In comparison to my diecast habits

[boreal vault]

mine is foob rosu and a indie vtuber in jp "tsukimi tsuki"

[mortal mica]

I'm very casual in my collecting of figures

[worldly tusk]

that's the only way they make money from that game, the pull rates are so generous that you have no problems collecting every character, and there are above 600 in azur lane I think

[boreal vault]

I don't have space for figs so I like to buy and sell them

[turbid wing]

Oh that's good

[boreal vault]

and display them for like a month or 2 and swap

[turbid wing]

How much u need to spend?

For one skin or character

[mortal mica]

Nice, that's like renting

[boreal vault]

azure basically hands out the characters for free but the skins are more expensive

[mortal mica]

And then they make their way to the rest of us outside of Asia

[turbid wing]

How much for skins?

[boreal vault]

ye, I just go shopping for it on FB groups where we sell and buy figs

[worldly tusk]

cheapest one maybe 10$ most expensive skins 20$

[turbid wing]

Oh thats not bad

[mortal mica]

Probably easier in TW

[turbid wing]

Actually not bad at all

[mortal mica]

Shipping will kill that hobby quick in the US

[turbid wing]

Genshin will cost u 2000$ for c6 character

[worldly tusk]

they hand out free premium currency fairly often and a few skins a year are free

[boreal vault]

ye

[turbid wing]

Nice

[boreal vault]

plus shipping is cheap

[mortal mica]

But also less space

[worldly tusk]

but the skins rotate like character banners

[boreal vault]

😔

[mortal mica]

Not like our giant houses in the US

[boreal vault]

which is why I only really kept like 3 figs that I won't sell

[mortal mica]

Which 3 are those?

I don't think I've ever seen your collection here

[worldly tusk]

the holy trinity of figures

[mortal mica]

Photo tour time?

[boreal vault]

megumin kyaru and kinda like 2? but from rokuaka

lemme c if I have pic

[mortal mica]

[worldly tusk]

if I could only keep 3 I would really struggle I think, would be easier if I could just keep 1

[mortal mica]

I only buy the ones that I intend to keep

[worldly tusk]

yeah same but if I really had to pick an absolute favourite it would be easy, 2rd and 3rd place I'd have no idea

[mortal mica]

Easy for me, birb 1, birb 2 and birb 3

[worldly tusk]

[mortal mica]

My Waifu only had 3 scale figures

[worldly tusk]

mine only has one which I managed to be able to afford

[mortal mica]

Ooo, small scales

[bronze mango]

they look cute

I'd even put one inside my pc

[worldly tusk]

Catto tummy

[boreal vault]

And this pair that’s the 3 I keep

[mortal mica]

ROFL

[boreal vault]

but now that rosu is releasing more I think ill have to rotate them in and out

[worldly tusk]

[mortal mica]

That's totally up @worldly tusk's alley

[boreal vault]

that is the only fig they got of sistine

I would want one in her school clothes but no

[worldly tusk]

to much clothing still

[boreal vault]

[worldly tusk]

white haired one looks like koneko from dxd

but I guess that's just the nature of white short haired cat girls

[boreal vault]

lol

[worldly tusk]

all gonna remind me of koneko

[boreal vault]

koneko is cute

[bronze mango]

if a dude has white hair he reminds me kaneki instantly

just because i was big tokyo ghoul fan before

never read manga myself tho

[boreal vault]

but sistine is like my first anime oshi and the one that brought me into the rabbit hole of silver/white haired girls

this one is coming maybe this or next month

gotta find space for it

[worldly tusk]

I hope my delayed figures aren't gonna overlap into a single month like last year

[boreal vault]

nope with the delays and stuff its bound to happen

[worldly tusk]

[boreal vault]

https://tenor.com/view/goblin-slayer-stressed-priestess-anime-you-get-used-to-it-gif-13752108

[worldly tusk]

no, not again

[boreal vault]

I waited for an year with no updates for the kyaru fig

[worldly tusk]

so far 3 delays all set for q4 now but no exact date

[boreal vault]

kokoro was PO after kyaru and arrived before she did

[worldly tusk]

my first resins are in there aswell which are kinda expensive

but I think I paid one In full already

[boreal vault]

oof

pricy

still not as much as some garage kits go for and then the commission for someone to paint it but damn do they look good

the fwmc ones this wonfes

[worldly tusk]

yeah ill never go that far I think

[boreal vault]

I would want them but holy the price of the garage kit

[worldly tusk]

how much is it?

[boreal vault]

and it would also cost like 3k to commision someone to paint it

50k yen

for the kit

[worldly tusk]

wth

[boreal vault]

resin 3d printing is expensive

with good quality its like half a dollar a gram

Reminds me of @mortal mica

[mortal mica]

Dang it, I've gotta have that

[turbid wing]

That's cool

[turbid wing]

Add these emotes, I really like it

[mortal mica]

Nope, not real merch: https://comicbook.com/anime/news/gundam-gunpla-kentucky-fried-chicken-viral-mascot/

[boreal vault]

if it is I would want one too lol

[turbid wing]

I mean who doesn't want a cool 🤖 with 🍟➕🍔➕🍗

On 🛴

[boreal vault]

lmao

[mortal mica]

not sure if I've shared this pair here before:

Actual collab

[boreal vault]

oh yea I know about this

I assume you have the hello kitty ones too

[mortal mica]

metal figures

[boreal vault]

[mortal mica]

and the 3 plastic models:

[boreal vault]

My teacher has the big head

It’s in display at our dorm basement

[bronze mango]

whats this

nike x gundam?

or whatever it was

[boreal vault]

Ye

[bronze mango]

i love discussing about sneakers and shoes

[turbid wing]

U can u add emotes?

Mod sir

[bronze mango]

what

[boreal vault]

Idk I don’t think so?

[bronze mango]

oh he meant to add emotes to server

[turbid wing]

Try

Want more emotes

[boreal vault]

I’m just mod not Hyte staff so I don’t think I can

[turbid wing]

Sad

[boreal vault]

They really don’t have many emotes tho

Lv3 boosted 250slots with like what 20used lol

[mortal mica]

This is a company server...

Like used for official business

We're just lucky that HYTE is allowing all this nonsense

[boreal vault]

Tru lol

[mortal mica]

I try my best to only create threads that are somewhat what related to the theme of the server

Figures can be put into HYTE's cases as decorations

And Plushies are part of the merch for the collabs that HYTE does

[boreal vault]

Keeping the server comf and friendly

[mortal mica]

Which is super cool of HYTE staff

[boreal vault]

they are super cool indeed

[turbid wing]

Hmm agreed

[worldly tusk]

only thing cooler would be if they release an irys y70

I'll never stop mentioning it until It happens

[bronze mango]

bet

[grizzled jetty]

if fuwamoco gets a y70 is it gonna be fuwawa y70 mococo y70 or fuwamoco y70

[mortal mica]

Post it weekly on #1204883597593673779

[worldly tusk]

fuwawa case with mococo Q60

[crisp bridge]

its cheap one but really looks nice on the aorus logo

[worldly tusk]

the cheap ones at least don't melt away usually

[boreal vault]

[mortal mica]

Don't throw expensive figures in a case

[bronze mango]

aorus

[crisp bridge]

i wont

[boreal vault]

How expensive does it have to be to not be put in a case

[bronze mango]

over 1k

[boreal vault]

1k?

[worldly tusk]

anything that's considered scale

[boreal vault]

But there are very cheap scales

[worldly tusk]

yeah but the scales are still usually made out of a kinda softer pvc then the pop up parade stuff

for example

noodle stoppers are perfect for case deco

[mortal mica]

and most prize figures

[boreal vault]

This costed like 25$

[mortal mica]

scales tend to use weirder materials

[boreal vault]

It’s considered “scale” thank you Chinese manufacturing

[worldly tusk]

I have one of those on pre order

from that manufacturer I think

but got delayed, it should've been here last month

[boreal vault]

True, especially those with a lot of random stuff stuck to it and weird translucent pieces

[boreal vault]

F

Which one?

[mortal mica]

right, and those don't do too well in the heat of a case

[boreal vault]

Unless you either have really good cooling or you want a melted fig

[worldly tusk]

https://myfigurecollection.net/item/2002506

i assume you'd need an account to see it

[boreal vault]

Nah I can see it

Yea it’s delayed

I saw posts on it

[worldly tusk]

initially wanted the one you got too

but her hips look way to wide lol

[boreal vault]

https://myfigurecollection.net/item/2255412

I’m waiting for this one

[boreal vault]

I only got it cause it’s was 25 and looked absurd build quality for the price

Wanted to check out the resin eyes for myself

[worldly tusk]

do all of their figures have that feature?

[boreal vault]

Not all

[worldly tusk]

cause i've only read about it from like 2 of their figures

[boreal vault]

But some

Another one even has squishy breasts

[worldly tusk]

i'm not touching them everyday to make that a feature which makes me buy a figure honestly

[boreal vault]

Or was it another company I forgot

But yea Chinese manu built different

[worldly tusk]

i wish i could afford all Azur Lane Racequeen figures

[boreal vault]

Yea it’s animester with the squishy booba

[worldly tusk]

i'm still annyoed that i didn't get prince of wales back then and the other one she got paired with i got but she got a rerun while the one i'm missing didn't get that

[boreal vault]

I’m waiting for rosu figs

The bunnysuit one might arrive this or next month

And PO the miku one, now waiting for the apron and the swimsuit ones

[worldly tusk]

"might"

[boreal vault]

Ice soup sounds mighty tasty

[boreal vault]

It’s already shipped in China so I’m sure

[worldly tusk]

2 years ago there were figures on pre-order which could spray "milk"

i'm not sure if they made it into production tho

[boreal vault]

But there is worse but oh well let’s just leave it at that

[worldly tusk]

some resin figures are wild

[boreal vault]

Let’s just say eevie evolutions plus people who know how to 3D model is a mistake

[worldly tusk]

in the resin figure market there are definitely specific figures for very specific needs and people

[boreal vault]

Ye lol

[mortal mica]

finally, got to unpacking toys this quiet weekend morning

a rare one popped up on my eBay suggestions:

an old FuRyu prize figure from 2014: https://myfigurecollection.net/item/219154

[worldly tusk]

wth first comment i read "selling for 15€ in germany"

damn

[mortal mica]

haha

[worldly tusk]

big value

[mortal mica]

hard to find these old ones still in good condition

[worldly tusk]

yeah my Akeno bunny from 2014 also has seen better days

but she was way to cheap still

[mortal mica]

that doesn't show up like that Start:Dash!! Kotori

#1217473726598221925 message

[worldly tusk]

the main reason i barely buy used

[mortal mica]

(which was 1 year older than this one)

[mortal mica]

right, and I really prefer eBay for this

because you can grade the figure + box yourself

[worldly tusk]

i'm super paranoid about those dirty things when it's not from me

[mortal mica]

tell me about it

[worldly tusk]

i know usually it's nothing unhealthy or something but i'm still actually scared

[mortal mica]

I had on PPE when I was cleaning that moldy figure

anyways

[turbid wing]

Can I see?

[mortal mica]

this figure came in a pair:

Nozomi clearly sold better than Kotori

👀

glad my waifu wasn't in anything that provocative

[worldly tusk]

what also sucks is when people sell their figures as mega clean and in a non smoker home and they arrive with cigarette smoke smell

[mortal mica]

and here she is, unboxed after 10 years:

and pearlescent white stocking is has slightly yellowed

but otherwise, excellent condition for a figure sealed for 10 years

[worldly tusk]

another one i had was boxxed since 2015 and she got slight cracks from it cause she didn't get any air

[mortal mica]

360 of Mogyutto "love" de Sekkin Chuu! Kotori:

not much details to speak of, given it's a prize figure:

[bronze mango]

ok

[mortal mica]

but FuRyu did pretty good with this prize figure in terms of paint

anyways, glad to have her out of the box now

[worldly tusk]

looks crazy good for some 20$ figure wth

and with tiny artwork on the base

when do my 1/4 scales get that when i already pay more then 15 times the amount for them

[worldly tusk]

the area where her hair hangs over her back just lost all paint basically on the bunny suit

[mortal mica]

||パンツ was baby blue||

[worldly tusk]

very good to know

[mortal mica]

anyways, browsing through to Kotori figures on MFC

[worldly tusk]

is it always this color on all her figures?

[mortal mica]

yes?

in the anime, her hair is more ashy:

[bronze mango]

i have no idea what figure would suit my pc

[mortal mica]

but Kotori has one of the more "normal" colored hair from the Muse

[worldly tusk]

a bob omb from super mario fitting to your Power supply

that kind of brown hair you barely see in anime either from back then or from currently running shows

at least i wouldn't know one from the top of my head

[bronze mango]

nuh uh

the power supplies in some other pcs are even worse

[worldly tusk]

oh no

i should not have opened AmiAmi Sales

[turbid wing]

Hmmm now ur wallet will suffer

[mortal mica]

sorry to have influenced you

[turbid wing]

damn

Almost 19k INR

[mortal mica]

a FREEing figure

just under $400

[bronze mango]

bro

[worldly tusk]

240€

[bronze mango]

thats like my entire pc

oh 240

thats like half of my pc

[worldly tusk]

1000 yen isn't equal to 1€ or 1$ anymore since the yen just keeps going down rapidly

if she was not discounted she'd be 400

i need to get paid to be able to get her tho

[mortal mica]

Oh, Ai's figure is on sale: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-153266

[worldly tusk]

she surely/hopefully is gone in the next 10 days then

the Freeing one

[worldly tusk]

Kadokawa fig for under 100 wth

[mortal mica]

yeah, I thought for sure this one would sell out immediately

[mortal mica]

wait until you see stuff like this: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-141971

[worldly tusk]

yeah the kimono figures

[bronze mango]

damn

DAMN

[bronze mango]

holy

[worldly tusk]

or a 1:1 bust from St louis but i don't think she's on amiami

[mortal mica]

glad I don't collect all the Miku figures: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-132888

that's a really good deal for a 1/7, but FuRyu

[worldly tusk]

[mortal mica]

dodged one: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-138287

been looking for a Chizuru figure, but just not this one

this outfit was junk

yeah, still full price: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-148032

[worldly tusk]

the kimono figures cost more then the 1/2.5 scale Kurumi lol

[mortal mica]

[bronze mango]

you really like figures

[worldly tusk]

61€ Kurumi figure i opened amiami pre-owned

i need to get off this site

[mortal mica]

probably the only lewd figure I would ever consider: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-155769

[worldly tusk]

did you like the show or just character designs

[mortal mica]

both, I like the main heorine and what she was doing

I even watched the live action version too

I'm a sucker for a good Rom Com

[worldly tusk]

[mortal mica]

not sure how so many lewd figures were made after the show

[worldly tusk]

i haven't watched it cause the title of the show kinda threw me off

[mortal mica]

the show really didn't have that many lewd scenes

maybe it was in the manga?

this was how Chizuru was in most of the show:

I love the "switch girl" trope

[worldly tusk]

[mortal mica]

yeah, the title was very misleading

[bronze mango]

i make angry bear noises because it doesn't allow me to enter site

"too many requests"

[worldly tusk]

happens often

[mortal mica]

but apparently "rental girlfriends" are not classified as fuzoku: https://japantoday.com/category/features/lifestyle/renting-a-girlfriend-in-japan-relationship-goals-or-just-plain-awkward

so the lewd figures of Chizuru makes even less sense

anyways, definitely give the show a watch when you get a chance

[worldly tusk]

will do

[mortal mica]

3 seasons of anime in total

[worldly tusk]

closest to that theme i've watched probably was Saekano: how to raise a boring girlfriend i guess

[mortal mica]

that was a good one

[worldly tusk]

[mortal mica]

anyways, getting more onto #1249251565416480818

[worldly tusk]

binged the entirety of it

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-151462

[mortal mica]

once again, love strong female heroines

[worldly tusk]

that New Jersey bunny definitely has to go within the next 10 days or I'm taking it myself

with maybe one or two other figs

all of them family friendly

[mortal mica]

Bye bye wallet

It was nice knowing you

[worldly tusk]

at least i'm not crying into the irys wallet which should come in a few months with a plushie

[bronze mango]

yey plushies

i forgot they exist

[mortal mica]

Plushies

[bronze mango]

so cute

[worldly tusk]

solaris was a mistake too

[worldly tusk]

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-015394-R

holy shit

what a price for a C item

[grizzled jetty]

2nd best girl but

her face looks super off

[bronze mango]

bo

[worldly tusk]

just like any DxD figure from 8 years ago really

[grizzled jetty]

i cant believe 2016 is 8 years ago

[worldly tusk]

some Rias faces are wild too

[grizzled jetty]

i think release price was ard 30-35k yen?

[worldly tusk]

even lower

[grizzled jetty]

oh god

[worldly tusk]

in pictures her face somehow feels always off IRL it looks fine imo

[grizzled jetty]

the eye looks like stickers

[bronze mango]

a little bit

[grizzled jetty]

feels like 2005 or before art style with huge eyes

then comes the super long arms and legs in code geass shortly after

[worldly tusk]

the anime came out 2012 where the eyes looked like that

sadly there is like no other or better choice in Akeno figures so thats the best one could get so far

the new one which is for pre-order rn is from the 4th season with the different art style

[grizzled jetty]

i stopped watching after the art style changed

i couldnt get pass ep 1 of that season

sadly the interesting part i cant rmb comes during that season or after

couldnt wait for the anime to release i went ahead and completed the LN

[bronze mango]

i dont even know what it is about

[grizzled jetty]

including slashdog

[grizzled jetty]

boobs

[worldly tusk]

and christianity

but mainly booba

[bronze mango]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1118147414054928475/1218899951954825216/AutoMemes.gif

[rich jetty]

I got a thing

[bronze mango]

so kawaii

[rich jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/finding-nemo-dory-squishy-jell-fish-pet-gif-4176928

[mortal mica]

I still don't understand why the HK x Yu-Gi-Oh collab plushies are so much cuter than the junk we're getting in the US

They just started rolling out on Tuesday

[boreal vault]

Time to stuff these in a y70 when I finally get one

[turbid wing]

Send me these for safe keep until u get ur case

[mortal mica]

I don't think plushies are great for inside the case

[bronze mango]

i think opposite

plushies are better than figures tbh

they're soft

and more cute

[mortal mica]

Airflow

[bronze mango]

doesnt matter

[boreal vault]

Ye it’s not good for airflow

[bronze mango]

as long as it looks cute

[boreal vault]

Maybe if you do custom loop and have the fans outside the case

[rich jetty]

the collab is in the US now

I got this from my local McDonald's on my break at work

[mortal mica]

Mine looked different...

Wait a minute, did they give me the wrong toy

[rich jetty]

sometimes if they are squished in a wierd way, the stuffing deforms

this is a simple 2D plush with front and back print

so you gotta massage the plush flat so the stuffing gets evenly spread out

[boreal vault]

I think it’s probably different batch

So qc is not the best

[rich jetty]

my friend also got Cinnamaroll, but his looked weird until we massaged the stuffing

[boreal vault]

It’s the same with all mass production plushies

They get packed really tightly so they deform

[rich jetty]

^^^

[boreal vault]

It looks so cursed bro

[mortal mica]

Exactly

[boreal vault]

Why is the fabric not cut

[mortal mica]

Yours still looks better

[rich jetty]

yikes

[boreal vault]

[mortal mica]

Yeah

[rich jetty]

you got the Hello Kitty Dark Magician

easily the worst looking one in the set

[mortal mica]

Mine is literally a potato

[boreal vault]

They literally just printed it in a tiny pillow and called it a day

[mortal mica]

I know, but it looks like a potato

[rich jetty]

thats how all of them are

[rich jetty]

that one always looks like a potato

[mortal mica]

Dang

[boreal vault]

Ye but his barely got a cutout lmao

The hand has so much fabric leftover

[rich jetty]

even the promo material, it looks like a potato

[mortal mica]

https://tenor.com/view/you-have-no-idea-gif-27149353

Did Asia get better ones?

[rich jetty]

the Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, and Dark Magician Girl are the best looking ones imho

[boreal vault]

Idk

Lemme check

[boreal vault]

Nope

They all look like potatoes

[rich jetty]

no, theirs were just individually packaged in boxes

[mortal mica]

Mine didn't come in a box

[rich jetty]

making them not be squished

[boreal vault]

They are just packed potatoes

[mortal mica]

That's how mine came in

[boreal vault]

Bruh

[mortal mica]

Ack

Time to hit up McD today

[rich jetty]

none of the ones in the US (from what i've seen) come in boxes

only the JP ones did

afaik

[boreal vault]

Ye

[mortal mica]

Taiwan did too

[rich jetty]

so it is the west that doesnt get boxes

[mortal mica]

My mom was so proud that she got "some" for my daughter

Guess it's the thoughts that count

[rich jetty]

i just want one of each

[mortal mica]

Me too

Even if they're potatoes

[rich jetty]

but Cinnamaroll/Blue Eyes is easily the best looking one imho

and im happy it was the first one i got

[mortal mica]

It looks better than Kitty

[rich jetty]

I have them hanging from my boom arm

[mortal mica]

Yeah, mine is in my kid's toy box

I did get the Gund collab kitty plush the other day:

https://a.co/d/99KOQKF

[boreal vault]

Sanrio potatoes

[bronze mango]

when kfc x ishowspeed collab

[mortal mica]

Still just the deformed Kitty in my area:

Hit up a different McD this morning

[boreal vault]

[bronze mango]

plush

[worldly tusk]

finally new akeno figure for pre-order

[turbid wing]

Price....

[worldly tusk]

if you get the versions with the specials it's even more

[turbid wing]

😭

[turbid wing]

How big is this figure?

[worldly tusk]

1/6.5 scale

[turbid wing]

Like ur bunny akeno?

Or smaller?

[worldly tusk]

the bunny is 1/4

[turbid wing]

Oh this one bigger

[worldly tusk]

my bunny is bigger

[turbid wing]

How much was akeno?

Ur akeno

[worldly tusk]

her used pricing is all over the place

from 400€

to 1000€

[turbid wing]

How much u paid?

[worldly tusk]

480

[turbid wing]

Now I think about it

This is not a bad price

Compared to ur bunny akeno

[worldly tusk]

but in nowadays pricing with new figures

37k yen is the price of a 1/4 scale usually

but 1/6.5 scale is a good bit smaller

while costing the same

so i'd hope for a very detailed figure if it costs as much as a 1/4 scale

[turbid wing]

I have to say that rias dont look like old rias

Akeno looks good

[worldly tusk]

cause it's the "newer" artstyle they used in the 4th anime season

[turbid wing]

I think older art style was better

[worldly tusk]

yeah most people say that

the lanterns on those figures is capable of having a light added in them without modifications so i guess thats good

[turbid wing]

Yea

[bronze mango]

ok

[grizzled jetty]

IDL the newer art style

[mortal mica]

Cinnamoroll:

[boreal vault]

Better potato

[tropic granite]

My figurine has a bit of functionality to it

[mortal mica]

I've learned to lower my expectations

[tropic granite]

My expectations are always high when it comes to PAW Patrol figurines and airplane display models 🙃

[mortal mica]

We're talking about the potatoes that McDonald's are giving out to kids

[tropic granite]

I see

I apologize

I disappear for a few days

[crisp bridge]

this one is prize figure from taito found it cheap here and i love the design

ill be collecting so much rezero figures and its so hard since not many and if there is one or two they usual cost a kidney

[bronze mango]

i should buy some miku figure just to start my figure collection

this one looks cute and also cheap, just what i need

[mortal mica]

new potato from yesterday's Happy Meal:

[bronze mango]

looks cute

[rich jetty]

I got the same potato

[worldly tusk]

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-174944

1/3 scale for 77k

[bronze mango]

just wondering, is there any 1/1 scale figures

[boreal vault]

Yes

[mortal mica]

Yes

I've shared one from Minnesota a couple months back

[turbid wing]

Oh u change name

[boreal vault]

Aside from the ones made for display purposes a lot of marvel and DC are sold

As for anime ones most of them are made to order or very limited

[mortal mica]

It was shortly after the role upgrade

[boreal vault]

Ye or else it’s hard to type lol

[mortal mica]

But he'll always be Artemis

[boreal vault]

I just shorten it it arty as it’s easier to type

[turbid wing]

It's "art" for me

[worldly tusk]

some are even distributed as raffle, you pay for a ticket and if you're "lucky" you're allowed to buy

[boreal vault]

Yea

There are also garage kit manufacturers that make them

Re:0 ones are some of the most popular

Its like 10-15k for one

[mortal mica]

Found the message: #1217473726598221925 message

[boreal vault]

Oh I think a shop in tw also has the Hancock one

I forgot tho

[mortal mica]

Second potato of this week:

[crisp bridge]

[turbid wing]

https://tenor.com/view/megumi-fushiguro-jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-mahoraga-gif-1488136044016425373

[crisp bridge]

[boreal vault]

My fig arrived

[turbid wing]

Damn

How much

[boreal vault]

110$

Pretty cheap

[turbid wing]

True

Looks awesome

[mortal mica]

Have to ping @worldly tusk

With any bunnies

[worldly tusk]

so much effort put into everything

but the stockings

[boreal vault]

It was only 110$ so it was already much better than my expectations

With how much detail they went into the other parts I would have paid 150+ easily

[worldly tusk]

i wonder how that 70€ figure is gonna turn out

from the same manufacturer who does these tracking eyes

how many more

rosuuri figures are in production?

or available for pre-order

[boreal vault]

the apron one is still in revision and the miku one is PO the swimsuit ones are pre production

[mortal mica]

Asuka!

Potato #5

Pom pom is pretty cute dressed at the pharaoh

[mortal mica]

Still waiting for my Asuka Nendoroid pre-order

[jaunty axle]

Lmaooo got this gatcha thingy in store for 10 bucks

[mortal mica]

Supposedly Q4 in the US:

And not sure if Amazon will really deliver the school girl version in October:

Crunchyroll is stating January 2025

[worldly tusk]

for a nendo that seems really cheap

[mortal mica]

And my Amazon pre-order for the plug suit version is showing the January date

So excited for these reruns

[mortal mica]

They are fairly priced

I don't know what happened during the pandemic, but new prices have returned to normal

[turbid wing]

I never known crunchyroll is kinda outside country thing

[mortal mica]

You mean CR selling toys?

[turbid wing]

I mean generally

They also have some kinda of subscription

[worldly tusk]

the same Nendoroid from Asuka in her school outfit here costs 20$ more

[turbid wing]

To watch anime and stuff

[mortal mica]

Yeah, that's how they've started, a streaming service

[turbid wing]

Ye

[worldly tusk]

never knew amiami had such small boxes

from other people I also always just see the big ones

[boreal vault]

well they might have big figs lol

[worldly tusk]

thats the "cheap" figure for like 60 or 70€ it was

[turbid wing]

Damn

[mortal mica]

oops, looks like her dress is just a bit short

[worldly tusk]

at least she has underwear

[turbid wing]

Why u r interested

[worldly tusk]

yeah, some don't have that

wth

[turbid wing]

No judging

Judging is bad

[worldly tusk]

I guess he's not completely wrong

[turbid wing]

Ik but still judging is bad

[worldly tusk]

[mortal mica]

Where's the rest of the stuff? https://www.nacongaming.com/en-US/test-drive-unlimited-solar-crown-collector

And the 918 is such a beautiful car

[worldly tusk]

red as color choice is wild tho for the model imo

for some reason I also have two steel cases

[mortal mica]

Why? It's the color of the HK flag

Seems like the logical choice for the 918 from the racing game set in HK

[worldly tusk]

I guess but it's usually not the color you think of when someone mentions a 918

[mortal mica]

Seems like there will be a couple of cases based on the description of the bundle

[worldly tusk]

ah I see

[mortal mica]

But I'm glad you're physically getting something for a digital game

[worldly tusk]

both are the same tho except the inlay of one

[mortal mica]

I miss the days when games were physical copies

[mortal mica]

Oh well, not like people still buy CDs anymore

Do model cars/diecasts count as #1217473726598221925?

Because I certainly can start posting about my true collection if anyone's interested

[worldly tusk]

idk but that's the only place collectibles went so far so I thought it's the right-ish place lol

[mortal mica]

Good point

Just a few diecasts I've picked up recently

Q4 cars just started hitting the shelves and I've been busy

Good thing about living in the middle of nowhere: you actually have a chance of finding stuff on the shelves

[turbid wing]

Hot wheels

I was very surprised when I first held an hot wheel car

It was heavy and I never expected it

In my childhood

[mortal mica]

They've gotten heavier with their premium lines

[turbid wing]

Damn

[mortal mica]

Metal/Metal are full metal diecasts now

The latest are the 1:43: https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Premium_1:43

Typical Hot Wheels are 1:64 scale

like this one that I've been buying up like crazy

They're currently at $25 a piece, retail

[turbid wing]

Damn

[mortal mica]

Then you have these crazy fools trying to pawn these off at 3x the price on eBay:

Anyways, there are 3 major categories of HW cars now: mainline, premium, and collectors

Article on the premium line: https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Hot_Wheels_Premium

And I don't do the "collector's" line because they're just stupid expensive for 1:64 cars

Because they always sell out immediately online, and reappear on resale market around 5-10x the original $10 cost
