GU-11 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I found this Revy statue last night after hearing about the manga restarting. It's an unpainted kit. I hope they make a painted version later in the year. I already have two Revy statues but they are both cool. I got the Banpresto one. The face is a little too gentle for Revy, but it's affordable and is the only one my hobby store brought in. She's on permanent display on my desktop.

myk Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Poor Kirika. Has anyone tried replacing the whole hand from another unwanted figure or spare parts. Kinda like what happened to Luke Skywalker. NNNoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's on permanent display on my desktop. I like the pose on the Banpresto one but the face is a bit soft if I remember correctly. There are so many statues of Revy out. I have the Alter and Jun Planning versions. Got them before the prices went crazy. I really like the winter costume with the tights and skirt on the Jun Planning version. Cool costume design that should be used more in real life. There is this Wonder Festival version that we never got. It looks pretty good too.

I came into figma collecting a little too late, and missed out on her Figma figure. Ebay prices kinda suck, and I don't want to risk getting a defective one and having to haggle with the seller for a refund or replacement.

anime52k8 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I hate when you check the tracking number on a figure and it just says 'In Customs' for an extended period of time. I just imagine that they're ogling it and it makes me uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 just curious, do you guys keep the original boxes of your PVC figures? i am running out of storage space faster than i'm filling up my shelves, and that sometimes actually stops me from buying new PVC only for me to cave months later and end up hunting them down at elevated prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anime52k8 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I've got a closet full of boxes and more boxes piled up in my room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 thanks guys. that was strangely comforting, lol! i've had to make shelves in my home office for the empty boxes. and there are a dozen or so of these boxes in the storage room, with room for just a couple more. i'm seriously considering throwing away some of the boxes, but i might be moving again. so kinda deadlocked at the moment... i don't buy duplicates, so i can only imagine Kicker's great wall of boxes probably rivals that of China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I've got a floor to ceiling pile about 3 feet thick in one corner of our upstairs closet, and the rest I just let them pile up in front of my bookshelf. not pictured is the box for my new Daiki Kanu. got it less than a half hour before I had to hit the road and go to school. I'll take some pics when I get the time. in a nutshell; so awesome. on the subject of the head. I feel like it's a little neutral in person. the illustration face seems more lively but the animation face has qualities I like and the hair is a bit better IMO so overall I dig it. Of slight disappointment is that her clothing doesn't fit all that well, as odd as that sounds. The shirt that partially covers her boobs doesn't fit that well, it's as if it's too small and the sculpting that's supposed to go over her nipples doesn't quite reach so it kind of floats in an odd way. Her skirt also tends to float above her hips and is hard to get to stay in place. It doesn't have clear sculpting on the inside to line up with the shape of her torso, and it's made of a stiff PVC so you can't squish it down and force it to conform to her hips the way you can with Pink Kanu. Another odd thing is that she's in a fairly neutral pose but she doesn't stand very stably without her base. the soles of her shoes aren't completely flat so she lacks forward support and her hair which reaches the ground has enough spring to slightly push her forward. TL;DR she's fiddly to set up the way you want for display but once you get her set the way you want she looks awesome on the shelf. and it's thick Kanu so there's a LOT to love about her.

Major Focker Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 just placed an order for this: hope it's not going to be months of waiting... hmmm... do i want another Nico? i've been sticking to one figure per character, with the exception of Sheryl, Klang and Shiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikElvis Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Dont know what this is or what shes from but I liked it. I "placed order" at HLJ and looked later and it was discontinued. Hopefully I got the last one. It still needs to send me a payment request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some like a hundred different figures from that series of the characters in bunny girl outfits. I love bunnygirls personally, but the ones from this series never appealed to me because they all look under age.EDIT: Wait nevermind, the styling kinda threw me off. The figure is actually from the To Heart series of visual novels. Edited February 9, 2013 by renegadeleader1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you collect figures with any kind of regularity, at some point you WILL end up with at least one Tamaki figure in your collection. it's just law of averages. TBH I've been kind of tempted to pre-order the white version that's coming in june and I was kind of eyeballing this one just because it's weird: http://www.hlj.com/product/ort85303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Focker Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 ooh, that would be insta-buy for me too! come to think of it, i don't have a figure yet that has tattoos. any recommendations? i think part of the reason why i tend to pick up figures in kimonos is because of the intricate patterns, so i think tattoos are a natural extension of that.

I'm also really pleased that I finally got Velvet from their previous game Odin Sphere. I've been trying to get Velvet for years, had all my previous preorders cancelled when not enough made it to the US market during the first two releases to meet demand.

I know how hard it is to pass on something you want because of money only to watch someone else scoop it up. I also got my hopes up seeing Nyx and Echidna still listed under Queens Blade, but both were out of stock. Those are the only others besides Shizuka that I wanted. No but I just preordered this.... I don't even follow Queen's Blade but that is a freaking awesome statue and it's in 1/4.5 scale! That's Branwen. She's a dragoon. Half dragon, half human, and an emmisary between the two species. Unfortunately her dragon that she rides got injured, and she sold herself into gladiator slavery to save him. That chain tattoo on her leg gains or loses a link depending on wether she wins or loses a match for her scum bag goblin master. I feel bad for her, but if she gains her freedom it might be a bad thing since her slavery keeps her dragon half power in check. When enraged she can't control it, and given the way she's been treated she may destroy half the world. Anyways I agree that figure is amazing, even her revoltech figure which I ordered today looks good. Even with the odd joints. Did you know the artist that created her used slave Leia from Return Of The Jedi as inspiration? She also has one red and one blue eye. Her along with Annalotte and Shigi are the three figures I want from the Rebellion series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they did a figure based on this I'd be hard pressed to resist: http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/446395 She's the first really cute figure in my collection. I was debating not getting her originally. I thought the panty display was a little bit too much. But everything else is really well done. Love the base. And when I saw the secondary prices, I couldn't resist the re-release. She'll go with my other videogame statues that are all from fighting games. ooh, that would be insta-buy for me too! come to think of it, i don't have a figure yet that has tattoos. any recommendations? i think part of the reason why i tend to pick up figures in kimonos is because of the intricate patterns, so i think tattoos are a natural extension of that. Revy from Black Lagoon. I usually don't like tattoos that much either. She's one of the rare characters that are cool with tattoos. The others are Star Wars characters. Which I'm not sure if they have tattoos or just face paint. Me too. I missed her the first time around so I was glad to get her at retail price. I'm also really pleased that I finally got Velvet from their previous game Odin Sphere. I've been trying to get Velvet for years, had all my previous preorders cancelled when not enough made it to the US market during the first two releases to meet demand. I like the leggings on that Velvet figure. Really detailed. I have a feeling when Dragon's Crown comes out we'll see some of those characters in statue form. Especially the Sorceress. Though I think the Elf will be a better statue. Not as over the top. That's Branwen. She's a dragoon. Half dragon, half human, and an emmisary between the two species.

I still haven't seen one that I really like yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
