    It looks great overall, but I'm not sure if they got the face right. A better angle would fix that.

    The Futayo one looks great. I mean, her ass is shining!

    I own the Futayo one. The photos do not do a good job of representing how long her spear is. She's rather difficult to position in cabinets! It's over a foot long (it's about 35-36cm!). The coloring on her legs and ass are also not quite so shiny. It's much closer to the coloring in the anime. Her hips on the other hand, are shinier than the photos.

    Maybe you have to polish her ass to make it shine by rubbing it vigorously. Yes, I'd volunteer for that job.

    Maybe a genie will come out.

    He should polish the spear. Even if it took all night.

    They couldn't get the "flat", unfocused expression of this pic. Come to think of it, I can't remember if I've seen a figure that replicated such an expression well.

    Do you think the task can be accomplished by simply reducing the sharpness/transparency/clarity of the eyes, or is there more to it?

    And it seems that Futayo is in fact on special. I remember reading that some ribbon on her was often arriving broken, but they seem to be selling the figure off with normal sales/return conditions on them still so I'm pretty sure I'm buying this.

    One of the ribbons has a tendency to break depending on how it is handled during shipping. It is a bit too close to the plastic shell, and very thin. I can't remember if it is the chest one or the one on the left arm (holding the katana).

    Mine thankfully arrived intact.

    I'm no artist, but I believe it has to do with how the irises are positioned relative to the angle of the face.
    edit:

    Like so, one looking at the viewer and one looking away:

    I have that zero-suit samus figure too.
    (photo is rather old now)

    Is that the Sallya one from Fire Emblem? Nice.

    Who's the one with the bow?

    It´s Sallya, yeah, or Tharja, which is her name in the European version of the game. Likely my highest quality figurine so far. Can´t wait for the announced Marth and Cordelia figurine.

    Bow-girl is just some generic girl from Monster Hunter 3. I was looking for a Kirin armor-girl, but couldn´t find anything quality, so I chose her. And she´s nice enough, too.

    Expensive hobby, though. My Melda Ditz-figurine is on its way and I also pre-ordered the Nendroid Link :>

    I believe so. Epic ass and all.


    edit: ah, MFauli got there first.

    It is rather expensive. I try to window-shop most of the time.

    A friend's collection when his display room got flooded because of a typhoon. Excuse the pic quality, my old phone camera sucks.

    2012-11-25162229_zps6501356f.jpg

    They all went on an exodus, and that's not all of them.

    He.. never got any of them back? I would cry.

    Then again, I've moved temporarily so all my figures are stored off-site, and I'm not missing them really. I think I take losses pretty well these days but it would still suck.

    Nah, they were all saved. I did say they went on a exodus, right? The pic is them moving along to the new promised land. It's like Noah and Moses in one.

    He has 3 display rooms after all, so he just moved them to another one temporarily. The floods in my country are hilarious after all. My aunt had to escape from the 3rd floor using an inflatable bed when the flood reached the roof of the 2nd floor, and people were rowing around inside side turned open refrigerators during that time.

    Ah, good. I had to look up "exodus" and thought they all left (ie got up and left for good). Was this the friend who ended up keeping everything in a box from then on? Come to think of it, I haven't even had a chance to unbox my Shin Sonic Fate yet. I really have to do something about that before something bad happens and I never get a chance to.

    At first he kept them in boxes because he and his family intended to move to a different house to avoid the flooding (and the inevitable exodus 2, 3...) but all the sellers backed out at the last moment, so he unpacked them and displayed them again until the move is finalized.

    He also has a lot of gundam stuff, but I think he has stopped collecting those since a few years ago.

    I actually wanted to start a nendoroid collection, but so many of them come out that it would bankrupt me.

    Yeah, Nendoroids have certainly been successful. They've allowed collectors to own a character that is economical (unless you get too many) without sacrificing on perceived quality (since they're non-scaled and smaller). On the other hand, manufacturers have also taken the liberty to make more good looking (and sometimes not so good looking) figures at the 9000-12 000Y mark now.

    Guess you were thinking of "exitus", not "exodus", Buff :P

    I´m trying to limit myself to figurines of characters from Nintendo-games or games for their platforms. Of course, if I had the money, I´d like to get one figurine of every anime I enjoyed, kind of for a reminder of that anime. So far, I have that Kaiji, and Melda Ditz on her way (although that was backwards: Her figurine was so hot that it made me start watching Space Battleship Yamato 2199 ).

    Would love to have one of those BERSERK-figurines, but I have yet to decide which Guts (there´s a crazy expensive post-eclipse Guts, then a cheaper pre-eclipse Guts, and one where he´s wearing that demon armor. It´s kinda a tie between the latter two). And I definitely need Attack on Titan-figurines. Eren is a given, but I´m waiting for a more sexy Mikasa one :P
