You know, talking about collecting or news or customizing. I'm not sure if anyone else is interested in this hobby here.

don't give a shit about action figures but i love me some gunpla

that said: i'd be down to participate in/help keep going a general topic series about this sort of stuff. i'm already the person that dumps gunpla news at everyone i know that cares, i can aggregate stuff here if there's a desire for that.

The last gunpla I made was good ol RX-78. The only ones I see in stores around me are from either Unicorn on IBO, which I haven't seen yet. If I'm going to get a gunpla I want it to be from a show I've seen.

I just finished MG Deathscythe Hell and MG Heavyarms minus the stickers because I hate the stickers. I'll do them eventually, maybe once I actually have a spot to set them up.

Pretty casual builder though, only been into it for like 2-3 years and I don't go super hardcore like the folks who repaint and weather their kits. Panel lining and a top coat are good enough for me.

Oh man, an actual figure topic on B8? Awesome! Here's my collection:

https://imgur.com/a/H95RbmG

Lighting and presentation aren't great, and not captured are probably the 50% more that I have in storage since I'm totally out of room, plus a handful more being held in limbo due to COVID. Really excited to move next year so I can have more space and proper detolfs at long last!

Currently in the process of getting a detolf setup going. Might try making them dust proof.

But I swear among those who collect on the JP anime/games side of things that Momohime is a super popular pick.

I'd know....I got one myself.

Now I just need to wait for my current orders to escape SAL jail and start shipping.

Nice collections, everyone! Yeah at this point I've got something like 4 (soon to be 6) figures tied up in COVID hell. I'm not too anxious about getting them eventually but I'm definitely going to be paranoid about taking stock and making sure everything is accounted for once things start moving again.

The very first one to be blocked was this Velvet ;_;

So uh

A) Who here has a Myfigurecollection account?
https://myfigurecollection.net/profile/Rindou27/collection/

Slowly growing again.

B) Favourite place to buy figures?

Guessing Amiami is top for everyone.
But I've heard good things about Solaris and Mandarake. Not too familiar with the US stores as it's easier to ship from Japan to Europe.

I've been meaning to get a few extra Good Smile Monogatari figures to go with Senjougahara. Basically half the ones Menji has, but seems like to get them Solaris might be the best option.

Also what kind of display cases for single figures are those Menji?

There's mine. Senjougahara with the stationary is probably the old figure I want the most.

And yeah, Amiami. I also like TokyoOtakuMode, but the reward system isn't as good as it used to be.

Amiami is my go-to. I don't notice imperfections as much as others seem to, so I'm fine paying much less for a pre-owned figure and they have a good selection. Solaris is good too, their prices are all over the places. Sometimes really cheap but other times ridiculously expensive. I've used Mandarake for harder to find figures before.

TokyoOtakuMode is the only US store I know of (they are right?). But they just order from Japan so any new figure comes months after Amiami would get it to you. Sometimes their points make it a better deal.

I really love that set. I slowly picked them up from all over the place. I do have Senjougahara separately but forgot to take a picture.

I got those from Kotobukiya. And I really wish I bought more because I can't find them anywhere now. The tall ones are great for ones that can't fit in a detolf.

Oh, I had no idea that figure collection site was a thing!

AmiAmi is a great site, so is HLJ. I've also heard good things about Amazon.jp , that's where I have Figuarts Mandalorian preordered so we'll see how that goes. For western figures, Dorkside Toys and BBTS are great along with normal old Amazon. Amazon also pretty good for figuarts, at least the DBZ ones.

From what I hear AmiAmi's grading system for pre-owned figures is very strict and JP Collectors do seem to take care of their stuff better than the average westerner.
Might be the only way I get some of the stuff I missed the boat on.

What upcoming stuff you guys most excited for?
Thx to pandemic lockdown I uh....got back in the game and while prices have gone up a bunch, seems like we're seeing a lot more extravagent looking figures with crazy cool bases.

Oh, here's some customizing I did: Lightning Collection Goldar. While I always liked the sculpt, I never liked how he was colored. So I decided to give his armor a couple coats of gold paint and a wash.

Before:


After one coat"


After second coat and a wash:


I'm liking how it is coming out! The photos don't really do it justice, the difference is quite striking in real life. Once I get his wings and sword done, I'll have to take some better shots. I know I missed a few spots (I was a little worried about painting over the joints, didn't know if the paint would make it harder to articulate), and I realize this whole thing is very amateurish, but for my first repaint like this I'm please with the results.

Yeah, would love to see more from Soma, maybe we'll get more after this current season.
Although the series took a major dip in quality, I still like a bunch of the characters.

This was my collection before I sold it all off. It was pretty wild with really no direction or goal. I just got whatever I wanted.



Here is my budding collection now. It's very tight/small with only figures I really cared about from my childhood

I've got several guys from the Power of the Primes line. The dinobots, Jazz, Starscream, and a couple more that I got in bundles with those guys. Went with those since the bundles made it easy to start a collections for relatively cheap.

Would like to look into the Masterpiece stuff but once covid hit I decided I should save my money for now. Plus I'm now in the middle of moving so I dunno if I'll have the space to grow the collection anyway.

Nice! Sky Lynx was never one of my favorites but his toy looks really cool
