Shaorin Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Ha ha, I absolutely love guinea pigs; I've raised them since I was in the 3rd grade. i simply adore Guinea Pigs. i've been keeping them, on and off, since i was like 7/8 years old around 1988 or so. my mother was a fancier, and kept a heard around through most of my childhood. she raised me up around them, in addition to her medium-sized kennel of Pembroke Welsh Corgis. she also raised hamster and rat herds off and on, but Piggies♥ have always remained my favorite small animal of them all bar none, those largish rodents that have really managed to stand the test of time. they can be such precious little angels, and i never could seem to stand not having at least one or two around at any given time in my life... wonderful face♥ a bit "healthy" there for my personal tastes, but a fantastic facial sculpt all the same... lose the Headphones, though; no fun in bed with studio monitors on... (( i know, i know; it's Sonico-chan's personal shtick. still doesn't make it any less inane IMHO... )) Edited May 4, 2013 by Shaorin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(( i know, i know; it's Sonico-chan's personal shtick. still doesn't make it any less inane IMHO... )) All of the Sonico figures are pretty pricey, but I might make an exception for this one; it's beautiful. As for g-pigs, I've had them all my life until about 2 years ago-they're so cool and funny I tend to get attached to them, EVEN THE ONE THAT CHEWED THE NOSE OFF OF MY FAVORITE Asuka figure lol, but when they finally get sick and die it's just too much. Don't you agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptormesh Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I once had a gpig that goes to sleep immediately if i put a cloth over his eyes. Like, instantly - legs splayed doesn't matter where he was and could remain sleeping for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptormesh Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 My fav is the one exclusive to a kombini chain, she's wearing casual clothes and nibbling on a sandwich or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 since there's seems to be a number of Sonico fans here: credit:http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/701246 missed this on the first go'round and just learned that it's being re-released. most preorders are already sold out though, except at Hobbysearch any recommendations on other figures in kimono?

anime52k8 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 My fav is the one exclusive to a kombini chain, she's wearing casual clothes and nibbling on a sandwich or something. you mean this one? It's a lottery prize from Lawson; there's also a version where she's holding a newspaper and there's a Loppi kiosk in the background. Of the Lawson figures, I my favorite is the one: and it's packageing is a clear plastic coffee can which is really fun. Personally, I've never liked the ballet figure, it's a little creepy and doesn't jive with how I look at the character. since there's seems to be a number of Sonico fans here: I really like Sonico and get excited every time they announce a new figure of her, but I only actually own one of them and that one I bought buy accident. there's just always something more exciting or important that comes up around the same time that makes me pass on whatever it is of her I'd like to order.

raptormesh Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Ah yes that's the one with the can. She just reminds me of when I first saw her in the manga. Probably cost a pretty penny now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 i don't have any Asuka's nor have i watched Evangelion. i like this though, but have yet to find one: i like this other one too, except the face is a bit goofy and the rear view is too.. er.. detailed.

anime52k8 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) that second one looks awesome but would be so damn expensive. AFAIK it's a big 1/6 resin kit. :edit: holly crap $100 just for the unpainted kit that I'd never in my life be able to make look that good myself. http://www.e2046.com/product/7627 Edited May 13, 2013 by anime52k8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker773 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I have both Asuka bikes, but the 2nd one broke. Still prefer the first one over the 2nd on though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Focker Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 depending on the damage and where, i'd be willing to buy that off you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Damn, and I was hoping to buy the 1st one. Resin kits are way above my modeling skill level. And at 100 USD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptormesh Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well Arcadia's releasing a Sonico Playset. Pretty sure that's compatible with our valks. They need tea too. Just assume she's a zentraedi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 no...the resin broke on the bike.The rear hydraulic is where the fault is because there isn't a lot of strength put on it. Whoever engineered it didn't take into consideration the possible weight. So mine fell from the display shelf and broke into many pieces. I didn't bother trying to fix it since I was too upset. I doubt it was fixable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I have 4 of those evangelion bikes. The first Rei(sitting up with open suit) and Asuka(sitting up on bike with glasses) were/are shelf divers. I've put them back together a few times, but it's never 100% perfect. If anyone's interested in the first Rei and , send me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikElvis Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Those look like a good size. I really like those Asukas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 even though it has a slightly odd face, the pose and bike decals totally sell the second version to me. BTW, I just hoped on Mandarake and ordered that UFO prize Asuka and a Figma Mari figure, for some reason the two of them together cost less than the Figma Asuka by itself.

Major Focker Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 i like that too. the Lineage series is something i always forward to. already have the Human Mage and the first Elf. i might get the brown skin version though, to tide me over until a decent Yoruichi comes along. have yet to have a dark-skinned figure in my collection. gotta admit that blue skin version is pretty enchanting. choices, choices...
