Figures and Plushies

[mortal mica]

Anyways, the Premium and Collectors cars actually don't "play" well

So I enjoy the mainline cars with my kids still

Been buying a bunch of 8-packs for the exclusive colored car on the top right:

[turbid wing]

Lmao

[turbid wing]

I am guessing u have all

[mortal mica]

Nah, just ones I like

[turbid wing]

So

How many u have in numbers

[mortal mica]

No clue, I don't count, but in the thousands

[turbid wing]

....damn

[mortal mica]

I'll grab some photos today while I'm doing some organizing

[turbid wing]

I think I have seen it

[mortal mica]

That's just ones out on display

[turbid wing]

Oh

Ic

[mortal mica]

Definitely not as nice as the first collab: https://www.cbr.com/sanrio-cinnamoroll-hatsune-miku-vocaloid-collaboration/

Going to have to pass on this one

[mortal mica]

Potatoes #7 and #9:

All that's left is #6 and #8, which should be Kuromi and Pochacco

My potato collection is almost complete

[boreal vault]

Potatoes

[jaunty axle]

Sheeesh

[crisp bridge]

am think about to get this really but ill check video of it as it costs around 400$

i need her buffs while working from home or playing

oo its on preorder ^^

[worldly tusk]

it's a resin too

[mortal mica]

I need to unbox my new figure delivered yesterday

[worldly tusk]

the longest i could wait to unbox a figure was a few hours

[mortal mica]

I was planning to open it last night, but ended up hugging my dogs before they get eaten

Really should be careful what I watch on TV before bed

[mortal mica]

here we go, unboxing time:

I ended up ordering from Kappa Hobby due to a Google search and the price was better than what Amazon's "pre-order" price was

I just didn't want to bother with dealing with Amazon support over this pre-order and cancelled the order with Amazon

This is the 1/7 Scale Racing Miku 2021 Private Version: https://myfigurecollection.net/item/1464669

nothing too crazy with the packaging itself:

but for a scale figure, there's quite a few pieces including the hands that are detachable when installing the accessories:

metal studs on the base as expected from a pretty heavy 1/7 scale:

360:

face close-up:

the hat is actually secured by the right hand, and the bow on the hat has a really well done iridescent paint:

the roller luggage is so well done, secured by the left hand:

and she now joins my slowly growing collection of Miku scales that are in "normal" clothes:

the next Miku scale that has been pre-ordered is the 1/6 scale Sakura Miku in Hanami Outfit that is schedule to release in January 2025 in Japan: https://myfigurecollection.net/item/2161680

Amazon is supposedly getting it in May 2025, but we'll see if I'll end up having to order it from Japan directly

but this most recent pre-order with Amazon has not left a good taste with ordering scale figures from them

||in case anyone is curious, it's light purple with a small bow in the front:||

[turbid wing]

Insane detailing

[worldly tusk]

sorry forgot to remove the ping

[mortal mica]

np, I'm typing away on #1071070910989209661 right now

[mortal mica]

I was pleasantly surprised by this little detail

[turbid wing]

Understandable

[mortal mica]

didn't see it in any of the reviews, for obvious reasons

(and of course not the official photos)

[turbid wing]

Yeah that's also understandable

[hearty quartz]

I was told that the folks here would like to see plushies. 👁️ 👄 👁️

[turbid wing]

Can I have some?

Pretty please?

[hearty quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/walking-away-cat-walking-cat-walk-away-walking-away-gif-27474438

[worldly tusk]

[boreal vault]

Looks lovely, but damn that a lot, looks more like an exhibit lol

[hearty quartz]

They come alive at night, like in Night at the Museum. 👀

[boreal vault]

I would want mine to come alive too

That reminds me I have so many Mandora plushies as well

[mortal mica]

Is that your office space?

And yes, we definitely love plushies here

[hearty quartz]

Yep, my little spot in the office. 🥹

[mortal mica]

guess someone is a Rilakkuma fan 😅

and I also spot a pink 75% keyboard

I would love to see your keyboard on #1071070910989209661

[hearty quartz]

BIG Rilakkuma fan :3
I just posted a picture of the keyboard for you though 😉

[mortal mica]

Well, that came out of nowhere... https://myfigurecollection.net/item/2055838

[turbid wing]

Will u get it?

[worldly tusk]

huh MTV

[turbid wing]

Lol that's quick

[mortal mica]

AmiAmi's pre-order already sold through

[mortal mica]

They've got me. MTV generation, have to represent

https://tenor.com/view/80s-commercials-80s-mtv-man-on-the-moon-gif-14688695

[turbid wing]

It's pre order?

[mortal mica]

Yup

[turbid wing]

When u will get it? Like next year or later?

I know pre orders from ami is kinda very pre

[mortal mica]

February 2025

[turbid wing]

Indeed test of patience

[worldly tusk]

all figure pre orders are fairly long not just amiami

[cedar linden]

Quite lonely here (so far)

But I got like 5 more figures on preorder

[tropic granite]

Lovely car 🤩

[jaunty axle]

Lovin these chibi figures

[mortal mica]

Asuka!

[worldly tusk]

irys merch arriving tomorrow idek which one but might be a plushie in there

[jaunty axle]

Indeed

[tropic granite]

Bro's got the ROG/Evangelion PC

[jaunty axle]

i feel like we’re plenty amongst ya

[tropic granite]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mortal mica]

just realized that I've never posted the complete collection of potatoes:

had a complete second set:

I ended up having to order Kuromi from eBay because my area didn't get her

[rich jetty]

I liek potatos

https://tenor.com/view/cereal-cartoon-cheese-gif-5003094

[worldly tusk]

@boreal vault

[boreal vault]

yeeeeaa

[worldly tusk]

alot of wonfes pictures appearing now for me

[boreal vault]

@worldly tusk

also this one

they colored it

[worldly tusk]

[boreal vault]

my wallet is gonna hurt

[worldly tusk]

i'm hyped about a Azur Lane fig

[boreal vault]

ye

also the violet evergarden one

kyoani handing out licenses again

[boreal vault]

also by solarain

[worldly tusk]

the rest for me goes more into a nsfw category and ofc bunnies

[boreal vault]

lmao

[boreal vault]

burnt bun plushie

[turbid wing]

Why little guy looks angry

[boreal vault]

cause its burnt

[turbid wing]

Makes sense

[rich jetty]

where can i aquire this

[boreal vault]

Rosuuri’s website

Rosu.shop

[rich jetty]

Tyty

[tropic granite]

Pink

[turbid wing]

Cute

[hot flare]

I'll be getting this pretty soon

[boreal vault]

1929

[worldly tusk]

has soft touch zones and she speaks then if you touch those

[hot flare]

She also speaks if talked to normally as well. She basically speaks and acts like an actual human except for not being able to move on her own and the fact she's not an actual human

[worldly tusk]

release is set to Q1-Q2 next year tho

[hot flare]

Yeah. I'll only have to pay the $400 in dhl shipping in q1 or q2 or also the remaining $1500 if I only pay the deposit. I have to pay the $1929 or the $429 deposit up front

[worldly tusk]

yeah thats usually how it goes on those stores which also sell resin scales kind of anoying that this also puts you on a big loss if you were to drop out of the pre-order

[hot flare]

The $1929 is the full payment minus the shipping

You can't actually back out figure pre-orders on most sites that sell them

The only site I've found that lets you back out of a pre-order is amiami

[worldly tusk]

alot of stores let you back out

can't speak for the american ones tho

[hot flare]

Not Tokyo Otaku Mode and not most of the reputable ones

[worldly tusk]

only the japanese stores or the europeans

[hot flare]

Tokyo Otaku Mode is Japanese

[worldly tusk]

and so far i could drop out on all sites if i wanted to

[hot flare]

On TOM it specifically says during checkout there are no refunds on pre-orders

[worldly tusk]

TOM is mainly US tho

with them only offering surface to US aswell

all prices automatically in USD

[hot flare]

No it's Japanese. All of TOM's figures ship directly from Japan

[worldly tusk]

has not a single benefit for EU buyers tho especially since they have a US warehouse

[hot flare]

Nope TOM's warehouse is in Akihabara

[worldly tusk]

makes more sense to use JP sites for me or directly in europe

yeah they have both

US and JP

[hot flare]

Both TOM and amiami are Japan based

Even Solaris is in Japan as well

[worldly tusk]

with tom mainly focusing on the US market and their figures being more expensive then on amiami for me

[hot flare]

But the gk sites are based in China though

[worldly tusk]

on Solaris you can drop out of pre-orders

[hot flare]

Yeah but amiami makes up for it in obnoxious shipping charges

Yeah I've heard

[worldly tusk]

they all have high shipping costs really

[hot flare]

TOM has decent shipping charges that's why if I can afford to pay upfront for the pre-order of a non gk figure I prefer to pay at TOM

[worldly tusk]

probably cause they can reduce price since they also have a warehouse in the US

other then that a 300$ figure on TOM would cost me 60$ less on amiami

shipping for me is in both cases garbage cause i'm in the EU

[hot flare]

Amiami charges same as what would be 3/4 of cost of the actual figure

[worldly tusk]

depends on the figure

since price is dependant on volume

[hot flare]

Well I guess I shouldn't be complaining about the shipping since I only pay for the quickest shipping option and apparently dhl is the most expensive shipping option

[worldly tusk]

depends

sometimes for some reason on AmiAmi DHL is a tiny bit cheaper then EMS

same on solaris

[hot flare]

Nope for me dhl on amiami is the same cost as what would be 3/4 the price of the figure itself

[worldly tusk]

again, depends

[hot flare]

Yeah I guess so.

[worldly tusk]

usually it's still less then 1/3 of the figure price which you pay in shipping on amiami with DHL

was probably a case where DHL was cheaper then EMS cause i usually never use DHL since it takes the same time to arrive then EMS

[hot flare]

That looks about what I had to pay for my most recent figure I bought from amiami

[worldly tusk]

wildest order i had so far

still cheaper then getting it in the EU tho

[boreal vault]

[worldly tusk]

even with VAT on it

[hot flare]

That's nothing compared to $1700 usd for a 1/2 scale Asuna figure I bought from amiami

[worldly tusk]

yeah no shii

as i said shipping completely depends on volume

[boreal vault]

Order a custom made fig

That will be a new record

[hot flare]

Yeah. That $1700 usd included shipping cost

[hot flare]

$1929+$400shipping will be a new record for me

[boreal vault]

Garage kits are expensive

Some custom paint jobs cost more than 2k

[hot flare]

Yeah they are. Especially if they're 1/1 scales

[boreal vault]

Nah 1/7 already costs 2k

The 1/1 ones are closer to 10k

More if detailed

[hot flare]

Yeah I saw a 1/7 yesterday that's going for $3500 usd

[boreal vault]

Ye

Skilled painters commissions are expensive

[hot flare]

Yeah they are

That tifa statue I'm getting is a 1/1

I was actually shocked it was going for less than $2k usd

[mortal mica]

Finally got to unbox the AmiAmi box that arrived like 2 weeks ago

Literally went on AmiAmi to buy the new Asuka plugsuit nendoroid:

Ended up with the previous release of the school girl outfit nendoroid:

And wandered over to the Miku nendoroids...

And found this foodie Sakura Miku with extra food pieces

The box literally arrived in 3 days

Completely surprised how quickly it arrived

[mortal mica]

Since this was just posted in #tech: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-177201

Seems like @boreal vault already ordered 2

Definitely need to ping @worldly tusk since a rabbit figure

[boreal vault]

[mortal mica]

Probably due to the years of playing Love Nikki, but somehow a girl with pink hair just hits different

[boreal vault]

You get squishy rosubun as bonus too

[mortal mica]

Oh geez

Just finished reading

So there's even a backstory to the figure too

Looks like Rosu was clumsy and dropped a bread

[worldly tusk]

[boreal vault]

Lol yea it was a throwback to when she put chili powder into her oatmeal accidentally

Recently she blundered again and put grape juice in

[mortal mica]

I really want to be the bun in her apron for some reason

[boreal vault]

[boreal vault]

We all want to

Also the ded bun

[mortal mica]

I love this safe space

[boreal vault]

[rich jetty]

Ok, but what if I only wanted the buns

They are too cute

[mortal mica]

I think they sell similar buns as gachapon toys

let me see what I can find

something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134069797645

here's a pair on Mercari: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m59149808907/

[rich jetty]

It doesn't have the same appeal as the bun bun

[worldly tusk]

found a better bunny which released for po today other then rosuuri unlucky

[boreal vault]

im buying 2 just for the bun lol

we buns have the right to rise up

[worldly tusk]

im surprised she's that cheap

[boreal vault]

The pricing is actually lower

Amiami markup so much

It’s 299rmb which is about 43$

[worldly tusk]

the fig right next to rosu on amiami is more my thing tho

[boreal vault]

[worldly tusk]

[boreal vault]

Aye

[worldly tusk]

butt closeup on her own tweet but not on the amiami page

[boreal vault]

she choose the pics herself

[worldly tusk]

i guessed as much

[tropic granite]

This was at my school, and I thought someone might be interested in any one of these

[boreal vault]

Damn nice

[tropic granite]

I only bought this tiny guy cuz everything else is too expensive 🙃

[worldly tusk]

perfect phone holder

[boreal vault]

hi nazz

[mortal mica]

Didn't know these existed. Thanks mom!

So much better than the potatoes

[turbid wing]

Wait, McDonald's?

[boreal vault]

Better potatoes

[turbid wing]

True

[mortal mica]

Definitely

[boreal vault]

@mortal mica our club hosting the gunpla experience at RF

And the stupid amount of add ons you can add

[mortal mica]

How long is the event?

[boreal vault]

One day

Well RF is 2 but we only hold it for one

[mortal mica]

Maybe enough time to finish an Entry Grade

Or HG, like the one in the front

[boreal vault]

Ye

[boreal vault]

There is mg ex bits in there

[mortal mica]

I'm so itching to build some keyboards

[boreal vault]

It’s supposed to invite kids ~~into the rabbit hole ~~ I mean enjoy the fun

[mortal mica]

The new season of Gunpla was just released yesterday

[turbid wing]

Looks fun

[boreal vault]

Our gunpla/figure club does this every year

[mortal mica]

Really tempted by these clear mods

[turbid wing]

Cant wait to see final results

[mortal mica]

And also this entire clear body SD:

[turbid wing]

U got time now

Why not give it a try

[mortal mica]

No time

I still haven't finished work

[turbid wing]

Sad

[boreal vault]

[mortal mica]

And I really need to get these keyboards backlogs done

My office is starting to pile up with all the keyboards keyboard boxes

[boreal vault]

Moar keebs

[turbid wing]

I gonna drink tea

[mortal mica]

Almost up to 20 now

[turbid wing]

Finally

[boreal vault]

Jeezus so many

[turbid wing]

Damn

[boreal vault]

Duel wield them

[turbid wing]

I think dual keyboard exist

[mortal mica]

I do when I'm gaming with my daughter

That way we don't have to pass the keyboard back and forth when she's stuck

[boreal vault]

Not 2 full size ones tho

[turbid wing]

Tru

[boreal vault]

Like at least not conventionally

[mortal mica]

I use my 60% when I'm dual keyboarding with my daughter

Love love love my Yellow Ducky One 3: #1071070910989209661 message

[boreal vault]

Do 2 of those make it 120%

[mortal mica]

Love that logic

Looks like the clear color is the theme for this next season:

Geez, these SD Gundams are not cheap:

[boreal vault]

Damn

[mortal mica]

Finally! The PG Astray Blue Frame is getting another run!

Don't know why, but the Red Frame is more readily available:

[boreal vault]

Blue looks better imo

[turbid wing]

Sheesh

Katana is cool

[mortal mica]

Anyways, just finished my shopping spree

That'll cover until Q1 2025

[turbid wing]

U got any xmas list?

For Christmas

[mortal mica]

No, I buy stuff all the time

I am withholding toys from kids until Christmas so I have some stuff to put under the tree

[turbid wing]

Ic

[mortal mica]

woah, big... box

[worldly tusk]

she can have a face mask where i at first thought i got a missprint or something cause the mask itself has a faceplate just to hold it lol

[mortal mica]

or maybe it's for you to paint the eyes yourself

I've seen those doll videos where the person uses small brushes to paint custom facial features

[worldly tusk]

i'm glad it's not one of those then i wouldn't be able to give her more then a stickfigure smileyface

[mortal mica]

I wouldn't fare better

[boreal vault]

Man are there talented people out there

Best I can do is glue on googley eyes

[worldly tusk]

i should actually try that lmao

[turbid wing]

Oh nice

[mortal mica]

my pre-order with Square finally showed up:

both Titus and Yuna got new Play Arts action figures, but I've only picked up Yuna:

I think the action figure was supposed to be 1/7 scale, and it's definitely smaller than the 1/6 scale Yuna that I have:

the action figure is definitely going to be a lot more fun to play with given all the poses that it can make

[worldly tusk]

why she leaning so much

[mortal mica]

I wonder the same thing every time I look at her

[turbid wing]

Maybe staff is too heavy for her?

[mortal mica]

Nope, she's just like that

[worldly tusk]

thats how i look when i find a penny on the ground and i'm about to pick it up

[mortal mica]

Hopefully it's faced up

[exotic finch]

my build isn’t complete just yet, waiting on my am5 motherboard for the 9800x3d i got and to put it in the new case.

[turbid wing]

Beautiful

[rich jetty]

I got my nephew a Christmas Present

[turbid wing]

Christmas is soooo far away

[rich jetty]

Buy presents early

Saves money and stress

As often items will raise in price in the 2-8 weeks before Black Friday so they can legally call the price cuts made "Sales"

[turbid wing]

Oh ic

[worldly tusk]

most my orders getting delayed

cool

[mortal mica]

Holidays

[turbid wing]

Holidays?

[mortal mica]

Just got hit by Goodsmile ad, somehow ended up on the listing for Rosuuri's 1/7 Miku: https://www.goodsmileus.com/product/creators-collection-figure-hatsune-miku-rosuuri-ver-13350

[turbid wing]

Even online i have to wait

[mortal mica]

Apparently @boreal vault ordered in August: #general message

Somehow the style reminds me of Ai from Oshi no Ko

[mortal mica]

She looks like this:

[turbid wing]

Oh dang

Nice

What was the price

[mortal mica]

$200 for a 1/7

I ended up getting 5 Nendoroids:

[turbid wing]

I feel it's not bad

[mortal mica]

The "sale" sign got me

[turbid wing]

Relatable

[boreal vault]

[mortal mica]

Couldn't order anyways, pre-order sold out, as expected

[boreal vault]

Oh PO is over

But it’s a miku

So I assume there will be more once released anyways

[mortal mica]

I'm still going to pass

(and 6 months later, I'll be ordering a used one from AmiAmi )

[boreal vault]

[mortal mica]

Just ordered: https://www.ebay.com/itm/405327639638?_skw=miku+cinnamoroll

Apparently I've overpaid by $10, but there are listings for $35 shipped to US

[turbid wing]

35$ kinda looks cheap compared to here shipping

[mortal mica]

It's okay, it's a prize figure, so really should be only $15

[turbid wing]

Damn

[mortal mica]

I ended up buying 2 from the same seller:

They had the best price for the Luminasta figure

[turbid wing]

Second one looks good

[mortal mica]

They're both good

[turbid wing]

First looks very bright

[mortal mica]

And reasonably priced, given that it's a collab with Cinnamoroll

Highly desirable collab

[turbid wing]

Ic

[boreal vault]

Cinnamon roll

[worldly tusk]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimeFigures/s/8tXtjoHAWE

I guess pc cases are now displays for figures

[boreal vault]

Always has been

[mortal mica]

lame

could have fit an actual working PC in with the figure

or 2 figures:

[worldly tusk]

how much is that thing even

90€ cheaper then some actual display cases

[mortal mica]

$80

[turbid wing]

Idk why this case gives me feeling of backpack

[rich jetty]

Looks like some Minecraft jet pack mod

[cedar linden]

Finally

https://tenor.com/view/tohka-yatogami-gif-19391840

[mortal mica]

girl in compromised position on the ground, need to ping @worldly tusk

[cedar linden]

[worldly tusk]

looks like my small akeno just with less assets

very cute tho and Kiara enjoyer

[worldly tusk]

also wtf is that message for a ping

sounds kinda wrong lol

[mortal mica]

k, I won't ping you next time

[worldly tusk]

that's not what i meant

i can't win with this response

[mortal mica]

hehe

[cedar linden]

I wish I finally could get a Rias figure

need to go to Japan asap

[worldly tusk]

theres a decent amount nowadays of those

or what country are you from

[cedar linden]

here they're either way too expensive (1/7 scale and so) or out of stock

[cedar linden]

Switzerland

but I order mine from Germany

[worldly tusk]

i know that there aren't any akeno figures in Japan idk about Rias

[mortal mica]

@worldly tusk, there's a very pretty Tohka Yatogami figure that was just posted

[cedar linden]

fr none?

[worldly tusk]

at least none easily available or for a reasonable price

[mortal mica]

that I thought you would like to see

how's that?

[worldly tusk]

i probably would react slower to that now that i read that

[mortal mica]

I'm almost ready to unbox:

just been piling while I've been working through the keyboards

[cedar linden]

still thinking about that 1/7 scale Suisei one

but 220 euros do be a lot

[worldly tusk]

have you checked MFC for a rias?

[cedar linden]

I usually order them from Yorokonda and there nearly all of them are sold out

[worldly tusk]

i don't think any of the german stores really hold big stocks other then maybe figuya but they don't have any rias either

amiami is probably your best bet

[cedar linden]

Yeah usually it's just preorder anyway of Yorokonde

[worldly tusk]

DxD figures after release can be hard to get

these ones would be in stock and not pre-owned

[mortal mica]

ooo, another girl in a compromised position on the ground

this one is wearing even less clothes

[worldly tusk]

less is more

but nothing is bad

[mortal mica]

less clothes = more skin

[cedar linden]

Don't have the money unfortunately atm

or well I might got it somewhere, but I need to finish a steering wheel now

[turbid wing]

Dxd franchise

Very famous

Not big fan tho

[cedar linden]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-weak-weak-man-up-wimp-wus-gif-13750000

dxd franchise is the best franchise out there

[worldly tusk]

[mortal mica]

yeah, I'm with the others, I like my high school stuff

[boreal vault]

Packing them to go on a picnic

[mortal mica]

I think your picnic is lacking the most important thing: food

[boreal vault]

[cedar linden]

Got a new family member

[cedar linden]

No Yotsuba

[turbid wing]

Sadness

[tropic granite]

[mortal mica]

Looks like the next Sanrio and Miku collab has been announced: https://www.siliconera.com/next-sanrio-hatsune-miku-figure-pairs-her-with-kuromi/

Kuromi with Snow Miku

[turbid wing]

Heyyyyyy brother

Long time no seee

Where were you?

[worldly tusk]

idk busy with life

[turbid wing]

Sadness

[worldly tusk]

got another one and that's the only place I found where she fits had to put my monitor again in widescreen instead of portrait

[turbid wing]

Damnnnnnn

[turbid wing]

How u liking Monster hunter wilds?

Just asking

If its worth it

[worldly tusk]

yes

just now remembered the ping, very very good game imo if your PC can run it

[turbid wing]

Thank you

[glacial lynx]

Not quite on the same level, and needs a tidy 😂

[lavish kettle]

Some of my collection!

[boreal vault]

damn

massive shrine

[mortal mica]

oh snap

it's here

[mortal mica]

massive shrineS

plural

definitely plural

[boreal vault]

man I would love to have something like this but the space and money

[mortal mica]

Oh, there are more

Much more

[lavish kettle]

Space limit is just in your imagination!

[turbid wing]

Man is true collector

[rich jetty]

I went to Anime Central for the first time

Didn't realize id come back the father of an alcoholic

[half willow]

a

[mortal mica]

Who is DR?

Don't tag random people on the server

And I just knew there were a few figures and plushies when you've posted

And I'm guessing your 1/7 Aqua figure is your prized possession and thus is behind a case?

[half willow]

I uh

Meant to ping you

But I think the autocorrect got me

XD

[half willow]

Yes!

[inner dagger]

me

hi

[mortal mica]

Hi

Apologies for the ping

[half willow]

sorry about the ping

[inner dagger]

no worries

[half willow]

I have 3 suisei figures incoming

So adding to the collection

Planning on putting one of them into my y70

[mortal mica]

Just did my quarterly order with AmiAmi, another box of figures that I will need to unpack at some point

[rich jetty]

As someone who just got back into Shadowverse with its sequel

And is/was a long time Shadowcraft/Abysscraft main

She calls to me

[half willow]

A little banged up thanks to fedex but figure looks fine

[ocean matrix]

OMG I FINALLY GOT THEM

[turbid wing]

Dang

Congratulations

[mortal mica]

Those pre-orders take forever, but they do eventually show up

[rich jetty]

Metaphor MC has the smallest nedorois box ive ever seen

[mortal mica]

Must have not come with many accessories

[rich jetty]

It doesn't

But I got the alternate base from pre-ordering, which is nice

[mortal mica]

Welcome!

[boreal vault]

@mortal mica ye I ordered 4 figs this month

Future me will hate me but oh well

[boreal vault]

https://www.ruten.com.tw/item/show?22545409116560

@mortal mica another fig to add to my to pay list

[mortal mica]

Gawd, good thing I just admire Rosu's work from afar

[boreal vault]

PU figure, decently priced imo

[mortal mica]

Must be painful to be a member of the Rosu worshippers' inner circle

[boreal vault]

but my wallet hate me

[boreal vault]

spending 5k to be in LA for a month was def something

[mortal mica]

Well, airfare is a huge chunk of that

Booking flights for my mom right now to go back to TW

https://tenor.com/view/tom-delonge-blink182-wtf-meme-what-the-heck-first-date-gif-25383351

I was like

[boreal vault]

1200$

or was it more?

[mortal mica]

But yeah, I certainly can't afford to visit LA anymore, if I don't get to stay with family

[boreal vault]

gawd the hotel fees

[mortal mica]

We fly business

[boreal vault]

welp thats a big spike

but understandable since its like 14 hours

[mortal mica]

It wasn't this bad before

[boreal vault]

butt hurts from sitting so long

[mortal mica]

But yeah

I recently got a new credit card just to accumulate points for EVA

[boreal vault]

nice

[mortal mica]

So my mom can upgrade from econ+

Still going to be around 3k

[boreal vault]

it really saves a bunch if you fly far

oof

[mortal mica]

Whatever

Just the current environment we live in right now

[boreal vault]

F

[mortal mica]

The income divide is getting a bit ridiculous

[boreal vault]

it is what it is

[mortal mica]

Sorry, absolutely beautiful figure

So glad you've showed me Rosu's new piece

[boreal vault]

lol

the OG dress fig is finally real

[mortal mica]

Wait, was this the full run?

Or just for this shop?

[boreal vault]

just for this

its PO

they will prob add more later since its first day

[mortal mica]

K

This didn't look like a 12 piece run type of figure

[boreal vault]

thats how many rosu figs this year again?

lmao

[mortal mica]

Haha

[mortal mica]

Finally got the news about the figure on my FB feed:

[rich jetty]

I bought a thing

https://www.orzgk.com/product/zhu-yi-wan-jia-studio-pokemon-glitter-mega-black-wedding-dress-gardevoir/

[mortal mica]

oh gawd, not a Gardevoir figure

I swear people have weird relationship with their Gardevoir

[rich jetty]

Ralts was my first shiny

and Gardevoir is my fav pokemon

my 2nd fav pokemon is Ralts

[mortal mica]

well, I remember seeing this news about the life-size plush version earlier this year: https://www.gamesradar.com/tabletop-gaming/pokemon-store-is-now-selling-life-size-gardevoir-plushies-which-dont-look-creepy-at-all/

eBay has them for about $800 right now

[rich jetty]

funny thing about that

I was very tempted to get one just to hide it in the coat closet, so when guests come to put their coats away, it would spook them

[mortal mica]

remind me not to visit you, in case you get any other great ideas about spooking your guests

[turbid wing]

It would be fun ngl

[rich jetty]

imagine finding random pokemon plushes hidden just out of sight, then you suddenly turn a corner, or look up

and boo, there is a random pokemon there

[mortal mica]

Chi is getting a new 1/6 scale! It's available for pre-order from AmiAmi: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-197852

1/1/2027 release date

[half willow]

Finally in!

[mortal mica]

Deskmat to match

[rich jetty]

Oh damn

I forgot to post it here when it came in a few weeks ago

[turbid wing]

Collector edition??

[rich jetty]

Monolith Edition (collectors edition without the game)

Since I play on PC and have the digital deluxe edition

[turbid wing]

Ohhh

[ocean matrix]

Got to correct my one mistake from last year and grabbed the Nia figure at the first opportunity

[mortal mica]

Is she coming out of the box?

[ocean matrix]

Absolutley its preowned anyways

Was enough of a struggle to even find one at all

[turbid wing]

Looks amazing

[mortal mica]

been a while since I've posted here, but I haven't been neglecting my figures collection. They just haven't been unboxed and photograph in a while

I've always wanted to take better photographs of my figures, so I finally splurge and got a pretty big light box (40cm x 40cm):

unfortunately, the light box was still too small to take unboxing photos:

so the unboxing will be done on the floor instead and the figure shots will be in the light box

here's what I've gotten done photographing this morning

Rosuuri's Hatsune Miku made for the 10th Miku Expo, 1/7:

Figure shots:

FuRyu, Hatsune Miku x MTV, 1/7:

Figure shots:

Oshi no Ko, Mother and Children, 1/7:

Figure shots:

Shining Nikki, Hua Chen Yue Xi, 1/7:

Figure shots:

Still quite a few more to go, so hopefully I can finish photographing in the coming weeks

[ocean matrix]

Y'know seeing that stack makes me feel about myself

I still have all my figures in their boxes because Ive still havent gotten around to get some new furniture to even be able to put them somewhere

Like look at this corner of shame and theres even two more in the crawl space

[turbid wing]

https://tenor.com/view/kramer-seinfeld-whoa-shocked-gif-10554465915067075908

[mortal mica]

yes, that was my problem as well

I've been working on setting up a new studio spcae for keyboard stuff

and I added an extra row of acrylic shelves like my study to put figure on:

[turbid wing]

Nice but i feel u r short on space to put all

[mortal mica]

although unboxing today is making me slightly nervous

[turbid wing]

Y

?

[mortal mica]

not enough space

[turbid wing]

Ah

Ic ic valid

[mortal mica]

there's a total of 12 feet (365cm) of horizontal space

but these 1/7 scale figures are really quite large

I may have to do some rearranging to get everything to fit

[ocean matrix]

Now imagine you can only use half of the walls as the others sloped due to the... well rooftop

[mortal mica]

I live in a box

I made sure of that

forget designs

boxes are the most practical

[ocean matrix]

Yeah but nothing beats living rent free

I could use one of the living room walls but the that ones on the opposite side of the roof window and I dont wanna risk damaging them from the UV rays

[mortal mica]

good

mine are in the basement

no natural light

[mortal mica]

I still live with my mom too

although it's my mom who's living rent free

housing prices are so ridiculous now, I don't think sharing shelter cost should carry any stigma, TBH

[ocean matrix]

The prices of everything are ridiculous tbh

[mortal mica]

it's one thing to have high prices, but it's the stagnant wage growth that's the real problem

anyways

hopefully you'll figure out a good solution for your figures too

[ocean matrix]

My parents are living rent free as well as its my grandparents house

[turbid wing]

I am living rent free in my parents house

[mortal mica]

I love seeing figures, even though mine are slightly stressing me out

[turbid wing]

[ocean matrix]

They decided to instead of going for thr usual single family home to build a 3 story house with seperate apartments for each floor

[turbid wing]

+1

Mine too

[mortal mica]

similar idea with mine

[ocean matrix]

Probably the single most genius thing they did

[ocean matrix]

Its mostly up to my laziness and indecision that nothing happened so far

[turbid wing]

My house have 2 different Apartments (2 rooms, 1 storeroom, 1 living room, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen) both are on rents

[ocean matrix]

Damn I just have an living room, bedroom, kitchen & bathroom

[turbid wing]

U will be stunned to know the rent

[ocean matrix]

And a crawlspace on each side

[turbid wing]

70$ per month

[ocean matrix]

Thats loaded with shit especially console, game boxes etv

[turbid wing]

Dang

[ocean matrix]

Due to low wages where you live or how come its that low?

[turbid wing]

My house rent is low becoz we didnt increase rent acc to inflation in past and even now we raise small amount like 5$ per year

We got nice tenants

No disturbance, no noise, rent on 1st day of mont

So dont really wanna make things diffcult for them

[ocean matrix]

Thats one thing but the extra cost of heating, water, electricity etc would be more than your rent here

[turbid wing]

Thats on them

They will pay for that

Every apartment have different meter

They pay for it separately

[turbid wing]

Curious

Are they all from same place?

Or did u like purchase from different places?

Idk why i curious about it

[mortal mica]

I mostly order from AmiAmi

because they're one of the larger dealers that does export well

but I have ordered from other places as well

[turbid wing]

Ah

[mortal mica]

AmiAmi doens't always have stock and pre-orders sell out quickly

[turbid wing]

Ye i know

[mortal mica]

so these figures have limited allocations to each dealer

[turbid wing]

U need to pre order

[mortal mica]

worse than that

[turbid wing]

To get some serious stuff

[mortal mica]

allocation problems

so I've purchased from smaller dealers as well that still haven't sold out

AmiAmi is the largest, but also have the most people browsing too

[turbid wing]

True

Ami ami is trusted

[mortal mica]

I really don't follow figures as closely

So I don't "camp out" for stuff

[mortal mica]

Oh geez, 1/4 scale @boreal vault 👀 👀 👀

[boreal vault]

yeaaa
