    A kimono Shiki would have been great too.

    Kuroyukihime (PVC Figure)
    Manufacturer : Kotobukiya
    Scale : 1/8
    Material : PVC
    Producer : Tsukuru Shirahige
    Original : Accel World


    I rather liked that pose since it was shown in the OP. Something doesn't quite strike right though.. could be the expression. I would also ask for more colour saturation in the paint-job too. The vibrancy isn't there.






    Misaki Mei (PVC Figure)
    Manufacturer : Griffon Enterprises
    Scale : 1/8
    Material : PVC
    Producer : Satoshi Toda
    Original : Another

    This one creeps me out a little.. which means success for artistic 3D re-creation, right? But it also means it's not something I can put on my desk and look comfortably at.






    Inaba Himeko (PVC Figure)

    Manufacturer : Max Factory
    Scale : 1/8
    Material : PVC
    Producer : Nakayaman
    Original : Kokoro Connect

    I wondered what would make Inaba do such a pose. Then I read the description, and it explained everything(-ish).

    (It's Inaba's body with a Taichi-bodyswap.)






    Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 7: Hero`s Edition

    Manufacturer : Good Smile Company
    Scale : Non
    Material : PVC , ABS
    Producer : Koguma Shimon , Wataru Orita
    Series : Nendoroid
    Original : The Avengers



    In the end it's Tony Stark that gets the instant-preorder award. Pretty big feat, considering he's male and all..

    The pic (like ryll's) has almost everything I've physically got right now. I've got a few Tachikomas around the room, and still couldn't find a good spot to put my True-Sonic Fate, so it has to live in the box for now.

    Displaying them along the top row looks pretty neat. I'm also able to enjoy them from more angles than their previous arrangement and that's always refreshing.

    I thought you had plastic display boxes...

    If you don't, you should get some. Having to dust things with that many intricate (and fragile!) angles/curves/components isn't fun.

    Dizzy alone is a nightmare to dust. That's why I left all mine in boxes until I got the bookshelf with doors.

    Nope, don't have display boxes. I did think of buying some acrylic steps to display them on at one stage, but I never got around to it.

    When I get more, I think I'll get clear-plastic shelves for the wall instead.

    Not having to dust figures would be good.. but until I get some sort of dedicated shelf for them I can't see it happening. Plus isn't it a lot more awesome to see the figures without a clear barrier!?

    I find Dizzy to be relatively easy to brush compared to the others, but that is probably because I've got this big, flexible brush. The cape/jackets on BRS and Fate require more work to get into the folds. I've been using compressed air every now and again when I feel like it, but next time I'll give the hairdryer a go (on cool air ofc).

    @DS: can't do much about the screen if I'm keeping the desk and also wanting space on either side for figures.

    Oh, and on the note about cleaning figures.. I've learned the hard way that I don't want to use anything other than water for cleaning off marks (if it's paint.. I would have to try using alcohol rather carefully). Antiseptic rubbing alcohol has weird additives in it which leaves stains, while acrylic thinner is more pure, but took some shine off some surfaces. Luckily it's not anywhere noticeable, but still.. kinda sucks.

    You might want to try using a mount for your monitor. It saves space and is overall great because you can view at any practical angle.

    My friend keeps his gigantic collection on glass wall shelves. Unfortunately, since the last huge 3 floor high flood that threatened his babies, he now keeps them in a box to make transport easier in case of emergencies.

    I'll have to get rid of the top part of my desk if I'm going to use some sort of mount. The two "bookshelf" looking things also limit the size of the monitor to something around 22".

    I've wondered at whether I could replace those panels of the shelf with glass/plastic instead and turn them into a display shelf.

    Table mounts can be attached to practically any section of your table. As long as it looks like a plank, you can slap it there. Good mounts will allow for flexibility as long as the reach is enough.

    Why not try to make a corner plastic display area? The pic shows a corner of the room. Placing a display shelf there should save some space and look cool at the same time.

    There's the plywood backing to the desk that I'll have to get rid of if that's the case. No idea how good/ugly a white wall would look in comparison.

    As for the display area? I thought about that.. but that would have to wait till I get a bigger place as well. That desk is in corner of the room, and immediately towards the right is an actual bookshelf, which then leads to the doorway to my room.

    If I get rid of the top section of the table and install some shelves there instead.. that could turn into quite a nice display corner indeed.

    Manufacturer : Max Factory

    Material : PVC
    Producer : Chieri
    Original : Ah! My Goddess
    Release Date : Aug (Feb. 22, Pre-order start.)
    Regular Price : 18,858 yen203.45 USD

    I'm self-admittedly an AMG fan, but I'm not THAT much of an AMG fan.. O.o"

    But that said, if given the choice I would probably trade my Ultimate Madoka figure for her.

    Takamachi Nanoha CW-AEC00X Fortress & CW-AEC02X Strike Cannon (PVC Figure)
    Manufacturer : FREEing
    Scale : 1/8
    Material : PVC
    Producer : Rei Azusa
    Original : Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force
    Release Date : Mar (Sept. 25, Pre-order start.)
    Regular Price : 17,905 yen




    Continuing on with more crazy prices.. but I'm just annoyed that I don't really think I should buy these given the room and expenditure I'm incurring. (Even though FREEing isn't normally regarded as a "top" PVC manufacturer)

    Someone give me money. :'(

    Those Force weapons are so bulky and ugly that you hardly see the character from behind them. I wouldn't buy one of those, even if I was in the habit of buying figures.

    Too bad I'm not really a fan of the Force cast...or story arcs for that matter.

    I would much rather have the adult-transformed Einhart figurine of the same scale as the Sankt Kaiser Vivio I have.

    Or a bunch of the Numbers too.

    Hmm, not sure if want. I'm looking at this one Honda Futayo still, but since it's in no rush of selling out I'm half-hoping it'll go on sale or something.
