I guess the old thread stopped bumping.

Just preordered my first 3A figure along with some other things. Might add Nendoroid Petite Racing Miku because of the cool car.

Do you have anything preordered, toy general? Anything coming up that interests you?

Oh and this is from one of the displays the Prototype of Red Ranger interesting shoulder they've gone with kinda like the old Marvel Legends shoulder that was used for a while on the slimmer bucks though I don't know if it could work on Green Ranger with his armor piece.

So I'd originally pounced on pre-ordering a Chell figure, but after seeing some of the Toy Fair product photos of her soulless dead eyes, I'm considerably less enthusiastic. I know she's got a bit of a stare in-game, but I think they've overdone it.

I ended up cancelling my pre-order, which filled me with great sadness to do.

So I picked up a few new figurines recently and now am in need of a display case for them, since my shelves are very much running out of space (especially since I have very little room left on my shelves) and things like this little setup I have outright don't fit on my shelves since there's tons of books and nonsense in the way.

Anybody have any recommendations for a decent display case I can order, or should I just hoof it to an IKEA? (Closest one is out of town, sadly.)

Side note, does anybody have any recommendations for any stand or display setup for figures the size of the Metal Gear Play Arts Kai series? I just bought MGR: Revengeance Raiden (and bigtime overpaid for it now that Amazon tossed one up for nearly 40 bucks less, so I'm a little angry, but whatever) and it had it's own stand, but I want something that can support the others in my set.

What's better overall, SAL or ESL?

ESL? Do you mean EMS?

I use SAL all the time and usually things arrive safe and sound in two weeks at the cheapest rate. I've heard stories about problems, though, especially around the holiday season--there's no insurance and no tracking so it's pretty much a gamble. Good for cheap things or one figure at a time.

RSAL I used once and didn't really care for. The tracking also only updates like 2 times so it's kind of worthless. If you're importing something expensive (or around a holiday) it's good because it's insured for cheaper than EMS but otherwise I'd pass.

EMS I used the first time I imported and it's nice to have something right away (~3 days for me), but kind of sucks because it's more expensive. Good if you're impatient or buying something you want insured.

I like SAL since I'm cheap but I would never use it on something over $30.

>>210752
>Also waiting on a Charming Drossel

Drossel's show consists of two seasons of 13 shorts, both seasons only last about 30 minutes all together. They're more something you play before commercials than anything else, and occasionally are reliant on Japanese puns that don't translate well. It's still fun, though.

Aah. I figured initially she was a Japanese female T.O.M. of sorts.

There's a new line of models of DC Comics women as 1950's pin-ups.

http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/gamereport/awesome_stuff_exclusive_batgirl_cgx2DKQd6rpFzE9i6dX8jM#axzz2YZ2Guy6h Barbara looks amazing, and she gets my vote for "redesign I'd most like to see cosplayed", but the scarf/cape combo seems a little redundant.

http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DC31350#.UdyN6T49x74 Kara's bustier-dress and scarf look great. Love the gold detailing, and that smile.

http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DC0025#.UdyN6z49x74 Pamela gets my vote for the best pose. Love that simple-but-elegant old-school lingerie.

Some merchandisers selling direct at convention are strict about it because they know some assholes just do it and then turn around and sell it at their booth across the floor.

licensing and scheduling are some of the primaries with sales being another. Domon didn't exactly burn up the sales charts hence Master Asia gets shelved with only recently coming back out into the open with their starting to pursue the Western Market same with Digimon. The other is what happens with Figma in that what is more popular and a sure sale such as figures from the most popular girl show or famous celeb getting pushed to the front and others such as Sunred and his associated sitting in limbo for years or being released as exclusive. Thankfully the exclusive bit isn't has bad as it used to be with Goodsmile having an international shop and Bandai putting most what they think will sell through the Blue Fin distribution.

People saying the Figma Spidey looks more Mayday then Peter, I've Zero problems with that. Suit actually would work better for her anyway. Now to just find a decent Figma that can be Anime May for head swaps.

Anyone have DC Direct Red Son Batman?

I really like how Batman looks... but the figure itself doesn't look like much fun, mainly because it doesn't seem to have much articulation.

Its a DC Direct so no the articulation won't be much, barely any movement at all really.

Thanks Bunker. Probably won't pick it up then, especially at $60 which is the cheapest I've found it.
