Another figma released on Max Factory (http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3312/figma+Kamui+Kobayashi.html) website:


figma Kamui Kobayashi

http://i52.tinypic.com/346t8h1.jpg

Description
The King of Overtaking - captivating everyone who watches him race!
The F1 race driver with an impressive track record, Kamui Kobayashi, is joining the figma line-up!

Using the smooth yet poseable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
A flexible plastic is used for specific areas, which allows proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
The coloring of the helmet and racing suit have been faithfully reproduced in figma form.
Different head parts allowing you to display him wearing either his helmet or his cap are included.
He also comes with a HANS device to place around his neck to prevent injuries.
Various hand parts are included, such as hands holding his gloves which let you recreate the scene just before the big race.
A poseable figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

Easy miss for me but other people may like this.

This isnt a post for Figma and its completely a different company and toy line and I didnt want to put this in the Global News as of yet but I found this to be quite interesting.

CM's Corp Minerva Guttu Kurru Figure Prototype Images (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/cms-corp-minerva-guttu-kurru-figure-prototype-images-173492/)

CMsCorp blog (http://cmscorp.sakura.ne.jp/blog/2011/10/post-69.html)

Yes that is correct......Minerva figure prototype.Click on the link above to check out the images of this fully licensed figure from CMs. According to the page, the figure will stand 185mm tall and be released sometime in 2012. Also they are doing Ginrai as well but no doubt these may be expensive when they are released sometime next year.

I've never lost a package with Amiami, EMS or SAL. SAL is registered, unless you explicitly ask for it not to be. EMS is, of course, registered and trackable.

There are basically two sizes of Figma boxes. If you got two of each, shipping would be aproximately 4000jpy for EMS and aproximately 3000jpy for SAL.

I've often used SAL unregistered for small orders containing 2 items at a time (combination of revoltech/figma/transformer)

anything above $100 and I go with registered options.

to answer your question though, for SAL unregistered, its 1180yen to ship 2 items and like tober said 3000yen for 4 items (its upgraded to SAL Parcel)

Which is why I like to do my orders in lots of 2s.

valkyrie_76
5th November 2011, 08:19 PM
I group mine together and the end of the month which the average postage price is around 4000-4500 yen EMS.

October's group consists of 4 figma (3x normal size and 1x double size box) and the postage cost was 4280 yen.

The only problem with AmiAmi is (but lets be honest, its not really a problem) that they use a larger box and pad out the sides but this sometimes makes the postage higher. They do a fantastic job in packing and the boxes are very sturdy and not prone to being crushed, even the small boxes.

its an anime - Mawaru Penguin Drum

A terminally ill girl named Himari Takakura is miraculously saved from death by a strange spirit who resides in a penguin-shaped hat. However, in exchange for extending her life, the spirit tasks Himari's brothers, Kanba and Shouma, to seek out an item known as the Penguin Drum with assistance from a trio of strange penguins.

Well, it's 4 blu ray discs, sadly in Japane Blu rays and DVDs are priced incredibly high. you can pay 8000 yen for a 3 episode dvd sometimes, so most of the price will be the Blu-Rays. Plus by the sounds of things, it looks like it could be the eequivalent of season 1, aaaannnnnndddd, it appears to be a very limited run of the set = Super duper Collectorrs edition.

He would probably fit into the Nendoroid line though. Kind of like the way they did with Sonic. Although I have seen some images of mario with less pudgy proportions and assuming they kept his height doen and made his legs a bit wider, it could work

Where do you guys get your figmas? I want to get the hatsune miku append figma, I'm looking at http://www.tamarket.com.au but is there anywhere better? What online stores do you guys use?

I use amiami, and they managed to make enough of those append Mikus for it not to have sold out. I would avoid Tamarket, looks pricey.
Miku at amiami (http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-MOE-2538&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dappend+fig ma%24pagemax%3D100%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1). For 2200 yen.

Even with EMS postage (ona a single figma = 1500 yen) you will still get it cheaper than Tamarket.

Then there's also mandarake (http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=mandarake&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CEUQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mandarake.co.jp%2F&ei=eIx-T4KRHu2aiQeQwfHFBA&usg=AFQjCNFAvO_NChB9jSiYfG_tGcGJPM-_jg). Which has a good supply of genuine older figmas.


otherwise its the usual HLJ (http://www.hlj.com) etc etc Hobbysearch (www.1999.co.jp/eng/) as well.

I just discoveredwhat happend to my Mami order. I was wondering why I hadn't recieved a notification. It got shifted into the order with Drossel. I had to email them and do some major shifting of stuff to combine them more effectively. Especially since some other stuff was early april and had been put in with other april stuff. Crikey!

Um, do you mean how long do they take? Usually pretty quick to go once the order hs been confirmed. I have a feeling they work Saturday mornings as well, so hopefully you will recieve a payment request tomorrow. EMS postage only takes a week most of the time (and that can be long) SAL can take a month or so though.

Amiami are prety efficient and being in Japan, they aren't burdened by Easter Holidays:D Although IIRC, golden week isn't far off.

Any but the PSPGO. All PSPs are region free for official games. As long as it comes with the UMD drive, it will play PAL/US/JAP games. Not the ame for UMD movies though.

I was sorta thinking the 3000 as well, but when I went into JB to check it out today I was told they are only selling the E1000... which I gather is a more limited version. And I have no idea weather import games work on the various models. I would possibly make the break for a VITA if it supported PSP titles like I gather it does in Japan... something about transferring licensees).

Yeah, I personally wouldn't bother with the stage version or racing versions of Miku. The stage version is too similar and missing the smiling (best) face option. The racing version, although nice, is very similar to the append version, and way too expensive now.

I don't think so. As far as I was aware, there was only 1 version of the Racing Miku toy but depending on the level of sponsorship you got different extras. So at the highest sponsorship level, you got a parasol like the racing miku had and some other stuff, if I remember correctly.

Edit: INSERT ANGRY SWEAR WORDS HERE. I got Megurine Luka today also and her leg just came off and I can't get it back on.

RAGE!!

Man that sucks. My BRS snapped at the joint under her breast area. That sucked. I glued it, but lost movement in that area due to the glue, Plus it has broken since...

Where did the Luka come off from? Hips are just a ball joint, but you will need to hold the other leg steady as the 'hip' piece is just like a coathanger (to put it simply) with balls on the end and will therefore move away from any force.

Yep, my BRS broke in the same place. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, I saw someone online just used blutack to hold the two halves together while still allowing for movement.

Yeah that's exactly where her leg came off. Her undies are getting in the way, it's so awkward. And her skirt is making it all extra tricky.

I'm just so bummed. Two figmas arrive in the mail and they both break.

Sounds like a date I had once...:D

:rolleyes:


Well, the good news is, that Luka can be fixed, maybe just leave it for a bit and give it a try later. Uuum, don't really have any suggestions for the BRS though. Although Blutack would be a good stand in until something more permanent cmes available.

LOL :p

I fixed her this morning, I think. Her leg seems to be back on but I am too afraid to move her leg, jut in case it pops off again.

I showed BRS to my dad this morning (he has model trains so he's relatively familiar with this kind of stuff) and he thinks that I should just use blutack because glue will limit her movement way too much unless I want her stuck in the same pose forever. I might buy another BRS and be super careful with it. Or leave it in the box.

Another annoying thing, it seems the hole in Luka's back for her stand isn't big enough, I can't use her damn stand.

Is that why you said my YAY figmas! would end up more like *groan* figmas, because that's exactly how I feel right now.

Meh. They still look way better than revoltech.

Damn, sorry to hear about you BRS breaking. I thought the waist joint was fixed in later releases, not sure tho.

With the top 10 reissue poll coming along maybe wait to see if she is re-issued before risking another breakage.

Yeah, those hips will pop off if you try to be too extreme with the poses, but at least they are designed to pop rather than actually break.

Are there photos of the BRS break online?

It's funny though, I was trying to put her in one of the poses pictured on the back of the box so it surely isn't too extreme.

There's a few pictures in this review: http://plasticparfait.com/2010/09/12/review-figma-sp-012-black-rock-shooter/

I'm not sure there is an easy fix for that beyond Blu-tak, if the abdominal joint is inside the chest. At least the Blu-tak fis is invisible.

The blutack is working out okay, I just can't get over the fact that I know that it's broken, you know?

Oooo, thems fighting words!

Buuut you're right...



Is that why you said my YAY figmas! would end up more like *groan* figmas, because that's exactly how I feel right now.


Not exactly, but I guess it is one aspect. The *groan* figmas comes form lack of control. I used to be a robot only man and that was fine with the family status quo.

Then I got my first figma (http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/432/figma+Unchou+Kanu.html), coz it was cheap and I was going through a violent schollgirl phase. Then I saw this one (http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2327/figma+Makina+Hohimura.html) and head to get that coz it was a violent schooligirl with machine gun flare!! Such a wonderous thing! That didn't come until much much later, but in the meantime, I managed to getquite a few more to fill the hole. My violent schoolgirl phase progressed into violent maid phase and now I have a larger selection of FEMALE toys than I thought I would have ever had. Now with my copious Mikus, BRSs and others, I find myself wanting more.

Why would I like some unknown character with the power to command penguins (http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3458/figma+Princess+of+the+Crystal.html) who flashes too much panty for public display?Or a dog lady? (http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3500/figma+Leonmitchelli+Galette+des+Rois.html) Or a Sailor moon satire character? (http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3427/figma+Phantasmoon.html)

Surely they are not all awesome? But yes, as you are finding out they ARE! DAMMIT! Oooh, this one has a tea pot, oh that one's based on japanese Yokai (a weakness of mine), oh, another BRS. Might as well complete the set. Lol

And thus it goes on.

From robot collecting to doll collecting. And lets not kid ourselves hear folks they are dolls.

Now occasionally the missus gives me the old "Creepy toy collector" look coz of all these girl toys I have now...

but I still love em.


And her I guess:D

I see what you mean.

I'm trying to make myself stop now. I'm lucky I'm not a 'complete set' kind of person, my Transformers collection is so random because I just collect the random figures that I really want, there's no real connection except the majority of my figures are TF: The Movie characters because that's my favourite.

I have BRS and Dead Master should arrive on Monday and I think I'm happy with those two, I don't feel the need to collect the other BRS figures. And I have the first Miku and Append so I'm content with those two versions of Miku. We'll see how long that lasts...

When Miku Append arrived in the mail my mother called her a doll. I was like NO. THEY ARE NOT DOLLS. THEY ARE ACTION FIGURES :mad: I am sticking to that. lol :rolleyes:

Edit: I lied already. I just preordered the tv animation version of BRS.

The good news in regards to BRS figmas is, I reckon that DeadMaster, Strength, Black Gold Saw might get a TV anime version release. Yes, Dead Master as a bride. WTF is up with that?? Some sort of fetish combination, she fits into my violent maid category and the 'bride' category as well. Oh and violent schoolgirl? Might be pushing it with that one.

HopefullyYellow Macaroon Chariot (that's what I am gonna call her) will too!

Haha, I'm always happy to bring the laughter. :D

Good point. I don't even understand why Dead Master had that damn veil. The anime is all kinds of weird compared to the OVA.

Kagari/Chariot ruined macaroons for me. Though it'd be sweet to see a Chariot figma with giant macaroons.

I'm so glad there isn't many others I actually want or else I'd be in trouble. Other than ones that don't exist. I want to see more vocaloids as figmas, which is also kind of a stupid thing for me to say because I don't own or want Rin and Len. I don't like the way they look. In a perfect world I'd have a Gakupo figma on my shelf being his awesome self.

Maybe you could look for something like this if you need more stands:

DI stages and you should be able to get them from online places for about $10 to $20 each.
