At least he has a sculpt.
I'll be surprised if that ever happens. For one, Okoi bargain-bin'd. And number two, with Alter's current pricing, Torahime would cost like $600.Now if only Alter would get around to sculpting that Torahime figure they announced like eight years ago.
Just back from Japan where I bought far too little, but I picked up each of the starters and their evolutions in the Pokemon Scale World series. Now I'm trying to find "Green with Arcanine" and "Blue with Clefable" but having absolutely no luck at all. Kind of the same for the Johto upcoming set, some random ones just don't seem to be online. Anyone picking these up and know where I can reliably keep collecting them?
She's up for pre-order on Ami. June 2020 release.
Yeah, Koto has been going all-in on bishoujos. I decided not to go in for the GI Joe set. I'll finish the MLP set, though. I like those. I'm still 100% in for the horror line and the comic stuff. I'm probably not going to buy the new Star Wars "Artist Series" because those are basically 15k¥ bishoujo/bishounen figures.That does look pretty rad. Too many Bishoujos I still need to get. Also decided to pick up that Flare Asuka figure at Rightstuf. At $137 it was the best price I was gonna get.
Ohhh yeah I forgot about the discord. If anyone has a link to it, send it my way as well. This place was great for catching up on figure news.Hey, everybody!
I actually posted in this thread back when it dropped (not that I remember), but kind of let it fall to the wayside.
Does this community have a discord? I couldn't find it in the OP. If it's a bit secretive or requires a vetting process, feel free to PM me, or ignore me!

I'm currently pondering the ArtFX Batman Who LMAOs, because it's probably the best damn figure of him outside of that super-expensive Prime 1 piece.
For comparison, this is the Prime 1 statue:
That Prime 1 looks like it's gonna cost a fortune and a half.
It's $1399 for the exclusive edition and $1200 for the regular. No I didn't forget to put in a decimal anywhere.

Their stuff looks great, but it's also fucking huge. So if you actually have the space to display a bunch of those statues, you probably have the disposable income to piss away on them.Like Freezy said, only the most baller of nerds can afford to buy those. I think they're the most expensive mainstream collectibles money can buy, but boy are their stuff impressive.
I bought it. I'm still undecided as to whether I'mma keep it for display or just keep it sealed and flip it. It's Alter, and it's exclusive, so it's a pretty safe piece to speculate on for the aftermarket.That Alpha x Omega Sheryl Nome figure is 25 fucking 000 yen.
But damn does it look nice.
I'm leaning towards grabbing it myself but whewwww didn't think she'd be that expensive...but then you reminded me she was an Alter figure. And exclusive.I bought it.

Alpha x Omega is also doing Ranka Lee in the same style, in case you didn't know. So set aside another kidney to sell whenever that one drops.I'm leaning towards grabbing it myself but whewwww didn't think she'd be that expensive...but then you reminded me she was an Alter figure. And exclusive.
what else would i do
buy a figure?
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL good one boomer
That's gonna be a no from me dog. Truth be told I mainly bought Sherryl because she looked incredible like the sucker that I am.Alpha x Omega is also doing Ranka Lee in the same style, in case you didn't know. So set aside another kidney to sell whenever that one drops.
Is that the FuRyu set? RIP your wallet.
Another cool piece with a nuts price is that Megahouse Kaido figure. Mofo's gonna be well over $400 when shipping is included...but man he does look incredible. But I don't think I've even paid $150 for a Megahouse figure, let alone $400.
Indeed it is!
Is that Tanya the Evil in the red box back there?
There's two red boxes. One is Gilgamesh, and the other is Prinz Eugen.
ah, okay. It looked like the color scheme of a Tanya box.There's two red boxes. One is Gilgamesh, and the other is Prinz Eugen.
Ain't nobody doing more re-releases than Kotobukiya. They seem to be going through their entire back catalogue. I know their sales were down something fierce last fiscal year (just about 70%), so I understand why they would decide to pull all the old molds out.
Seeing this go back up for re-release makes me feel old, since I remember when I put in a purchase for the first run back in 2017.
(Still love the design of the figure, though.)
I think this one has the potential to skyrocket on the aftermarket, so if you want it, you better order it now.I've been collecting some of Sheryl's figures throughout the years and damn... the Gor~geus one is expensive as hell.
But I really want it so my wallet'a going to suffer lol
I was checking NY to preorder it... 6.600 yen only for the shipping?I think this one has the potential to skyrocket on the aftermarket, so if you want it, you better order it now.
The figure itself is about 11" wide. So take into account the box is going to be even bigger, yeah, that sounds about right. Shipping costs are one of those things you just get used to pretty quickly in this hobby.I was checking NY to preorder it... 6.600 yen only for the shipping?
That's a loooot :(
I don't usually buy figures that are big so that's why I pay less for shipping.The figure itself is about 11" wide. So take into account the box is going to be even bigger, yeah, that sounds about right. Shipping costs are one of those things you just get used to pretty quickly in this hobby.
I mean, I just got two bishoujos in the mail from AmiAmi today. Both of the boxes were pretty small but shipping was still 4500¥.I don't usually buy figures that are big so that's why I pay less for shipping.
If you say that's right for the meassures then I'll have to preorder it lol
AmiAmi has Sheryl's figure cheaper but they don't ship as a gift or something similar, I try to avoid taxes since those are a pain...I mean, I just got two bishoujos in the mail from AmiAmi today. Both of the boxes were pretty small but shipping was still 4500¥.
I believe some are pre-orderable anywhere but a few are Bandai Store exclusives.
Big in Japan carries the exclusives, but it looks like they sell out down the line... Shouldn't be a problem for future ones if you keep checking in.
