yes it is mizuho, but I am not good at panting. and it would take years for me to get good enough to be ablet to gett good eough for me to do it to my satfiction.

and besides for $47 befroe shipping and all that, it should already be panted and put together.
the assembley I do not mind but that panting.....that I can not deal with..

[impalerprince]

I might know a place to get one, Deansta.. It'll be at an Japanese language site though.


If i do, i'll be sure not to tell you.

Welcome to the new guy. Model Kits are always expensive. Made out of expensive materials, limited numbers. Thye look great once their done though (if they are done by a competent modeler.)

:mad: DIE :p ;)

[impalerprince]

Deansta, now im really not gonna tell you. :p

Wicked, have you ever built a resin kit? Alot of work has to be done before paint even becomes a factor. This is an expensive hobby. Resin kits are worse though.

[Deansta]

:p It's okay... I forgot that I have a Japanese bookstore by my house, I am sure they will get it ;) :D

[Wicked]

Resin Kits.....ummm sence I am not sure what your talking about i will go with no. the most complex modal I have put together is Gundam's level 5 (not countign puzzles)

but grate jsut what I need another expincive hobby...as if my anime and sword collections were not expincive enough. (got 5k in anime, and a couple hundered tied up in like 20 differnt types of swords and wepons)

why is it I always get hooked on the expincive stuff....maybe I should just get on crack, it would be cheeper.

[Wicked]

gundam level 5...lol..thats like a 1/100 scale wing zero custom from endless waltz, lol...
yea that is what I was talkign about, but that is the best I been able to get my hands on. I live in nowere hickvill. so hard to find any thing reall good, but it is that funny?

[frikafrax]

You should know that the Mizuho figure you said you wanted and the majority of the figures sold on on hobbyfan.com are resin kits. They're not your average action figure or mass produced PVC statue.

-F

Oh hey, my 500th post...

[impalerprince]

I doubt it. ;)

[impalerprince]

A resin kit is akin to doing auto body work. It requires filling and sanding and priming.

And lots of cussing.

[impalerprince]

Nah, Heart. I got all the expensive *****es i can handle picked out already.

[Wicked]

And lots of cussing.
huh? so what they jsut senc you a hunck of the metrial and you carve it out your self? because that is about what it sounding like to me, or at lease come thing close to it.

(forgive my ingornence, but I am new to this and am tryign to understand)

[impalerprince]

They are a bit rough. They aren't like a plastic Gundam kit. You usually have to cut mold flash off the parts, and their may be seam lines that need cutting and air holes to fill in. Then when a you put it togetehr you may need to fill in the gaps where the parts meet. It's a lot more work than a standard plastic model kit.

Sometimes a kit that is a bad recast of an original will have such a bad parts fit that it'll need extensive reworking to look good.

[impalerprince]

i think im gona order that resin kit too....i got me a **** load of supplies for that crap and ive been practicing :D i ****ed up ****ty mandarin spawn 2 days ago...mwhahaha!

I've been thinking of getting one too. I keep shifting between expensive gasha and a kit.

ok....so i tsounds like to me that they are cheep pices of crap that some one is jsut tryign to make a buck off of.
so thay make a cheep dezine and sell it at way to high a price to peopel that will do the work that will make it look good.....

I would say that sounds like a magor rip off, even my cheep Gundam modals were made to look good with out having to make the buyer do half the work making the pices even usubal.

[Deansta]

Wicked... here is an example of what you will recieve from Hobbyfan...

http://images.snapfish.com/3449794723232%7Ffp64%3Dot%3E2333%3D833%3D964%3DXROQDF%3E232393%3B953%3B44ot1lsi

(notice the stuff on the heal which will need to be removed ;) )

After lots of work like Impaler mentioned... This is what you can possibly end up with...

http://images.snapfish.com/3449794723232%7Ffp4%3Enu%3D3242%3E742%3E873%3EWSNRCG%3D3232%3A2%3C862%3C2%3Cnu0mrj

:D

[impalerprince]

Ummm.

Gundam are injection molded plastic. They have minimal preperation required.

I've yet to see a Gundam kit that looks any where as nice as a properly built resin.

[Wicked]

well the assembley does not bother me, that would jsut take time and pacents. and when it coem to soemthing like that I can handel it no big deal.

it is the panting that gets me...I can't pant worth crap... so I could put it togethet perfoctiley but that when it comes to the panting I would be stuck. becuse that is not something I am any good at.

[shop_gmc]

u be spending more on the supplys then the kit

[Mattman2]

Hola mi amigos! :D

[Wicked]

I think my best bet would be jsut to buy one form soem one that has done a good job on one.
because I know I could not makt it good enough for the amount of money that would be required to to do it my self.

[impalerprince]

Be prepared to pay possibly hundreds of dollars for someone to do one.

Looks like i fu(ked around and missed out on that kit i was gonna get. Anyone else know another kit place based in the states?

[Mattman2]

Well well I have to say my eyes are opened to exactly what work goes into creating a truly awesome kit. :eek:

[Wicked]

hundrends of dollers.....no way I would pay that much. I will jsut have to miss out on it than, because I ant got that kind of money.

[Mattman2]

Neither have I the talent, the patience, or the money to do anythign liek that. I can repaint minor things, do head swaps, minor dremel work but I couldnt paint anythign as good as the examples I've seen here.

[Mattman2]

You and me both Heart! Its such an amazing piece though! If you can score two then lemme know! I'll gladly buy the other! :)

[Wicked]

I could buy soem thing up to about $150 with out saving for a long time, but a little statue jsut is not worth that much to me.

perhaps I should look in to these kits, I could get a frend to pant it for me...how much does a kit cost?

[Mattman2]

want more pics matt? :D ;)

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha PM them to me and I'll be back in a few! Gotta shower! :D

A nice.....cold.....shower..... with no thoughts of Evangelion Hentai. :D

[samuraimike]

here's a couple of pics of the kit that Green Lumux did for me. He did an AWESOME job.
Kit was purchased through hobbyfan.com

[Wicked]

man I hate being new....every one knows every one and every thing but me.....

[impalerprince]

The Tsukasa Bullet 4 kit is definately and advanced skill type thing.

[UrashimaNick]

man I hate being new....every one knows every one and every thing but me.....\

dont worry, i dont know any of these guys, and i know pretty much nothing, and i have been here for years :D

[impalerprince]

Don't worry Wicked. You'll pick things up.

[samuraimike]

Hey Nick

Have you heard any recent news about the release date of newest Onegai twins trading figs? I've been hearing mid-Sept.

[Wicked]

wellI still hate being new, always fell so stuped.

so a qustion about these kits, do they sell the supplys that go in putting one together? and if so for how much?

[samuraimike]

man I hate being new....every one knows every one and every thing but me.....

If you don't know just ask. That's what I did. I would not have bought the kit I did if I could not have found some one to paint it for me. Most of the boardie are really cool and will help you out. So my ad vice is ask around. :D
I sent you a PM too

[samuraimike]

wellI still hate being new, always fell so stuped.

so a qustion about these kits, do they sell the supplys that go in putting one together? and if so for how much?

I think they sell the supplies too but an experienced kit builder could probably tell you what you need.

[impalerprince]

I hear September on the Taraku set aswell, Mike.

[samuraimike]

Cool. I wish they would just ship already. :)

[UrashimaNick]

yeah, Mike, i am actually seeing a couple eBay pre-sell auctions that are saying the last week of September, and a couple even saying approximately the 28th

[Wicked]

well at least the memebers of this site are frendley, last board I joind liek to burn new memeber. and I mean socke them gas and get a flam througher after them, that was a very unfrendley place.

well it seems that I got one more expancevive hobby...as if I did not stay broke enough.

[DarthPredamorph]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/samuraimikehk/DSCF2191.jpg

That's one little lady that can stab me anytime and anywhere she wants! ;)

[impalerprince]

Gotta give props. The paitence required to lace that breast plate must be great.

So Wicked, what kind of Japanese figures you like, Models and PVCs?

[Wicked]

So Wicked, what kind of Japanese figures you like, Models and PVCs?
um...I like modals....not sure what PVCs are though.....I am to new to all this stuff

[impalerprince]

Generally PVC's are plastic versions of models. Prepainted and assembled usually 6" scale or larger. Usually in the 25-50 dollar range, though they get much more expensive.

Gashapon are small figures that come in capsules that you get from a machine, similar to our supermarkets quarter machines . Trading figures come packed in boxes, and are random like trading cards. Shokugan are the same as trading figures, except they come with candy.

Book figures are figures that come with a book (duh) or magazine. They also do alot of event, store and other type exclusives. Recently AFA (a Japanese airline) did a figure set that chronicled the evolution of their flight attendant uniforms, that were initially limited to purchace at Narita Airport. (and others i think.) Though they are available online and a second run is in the works i think.

[Mattman2]

And I say yea unto you! I am here my friends~ :D

[daniel shirkie]

Holy **** this has 366 pages!?

[Wicked]

I see, well I perfure larger modals with good detail in the work.
I am a colloctor, and have a eye for detail I can spot flaws most would not pay any attichion.

but I like my figers to be big (the bigger the better) and to have high quality. but I only collect females, thay are the ony thing that attracts my attion. (I know I am a bit of a pervirt but what can I say)

[impalerprince]

To be honest i've seen gashapon with better detail work than figures 3 times their size.

I should know, most of my collection is gashapon.

[Wicked]

that is true, I never sayed bigger means they are better.
I simpley purfure to collect larger ones, but I have no problem with getting smaller ones, provied they got good detail work.

[impalerprince]

I just don't find the bigger figures to be the same value. I'd rather 5 or 6 nice gashapon to a larger figure.

Besides, more cute girl figures that way. I have 5 Male figures in my anime collection. 'Tis sad.

[The_Redeemer]

HA! seems that Kazami kit is pretty popular. Welcome to the board, Wicked.:)

[Wicked]

well we all have out opouns, I buy mine so I can admire them not neccreley atanding 3 inchinch form them to do so.
but my biggest figer is only like 7" now, so so far I guss I still in a pertty smal collection. ( I have 9 figers, one is a guy whos sword some how got broken before I got him hime form the store, the rest are female)

[impalerprince]

Your eyesight must suck. I can admire my gasha from at least 4'. ;)

[Wicked]

hummm...could be...
BTW jsut a ideal qustion what does any one think of my avtar?

[impalerprince]

Twisted Metal Black?

Dunno, i dug the hell out of TM2

[The_Redeemer]

New PVCs?

http://tinypic.com/dnonjd.jpg

http://tinypic.com/dnonl3.jpghttp://tinypic.com/dnonph.jpg

[impalerprince]

Aight fellas, time fer some wrasslin'! :D

Hold down the fort.

[Wicked]

nice I like that top one, the bottome is ok, but that top one I would like to get.

[frikafrax]

New PVCs?

Any idea where the characters are from?

-F

[UrashimaNick]

isnt the second one the Pia Carrot PVC that has a pic on the last 3 pages of this thread? o_O

[impalerprince]

Yeah, already covered the Pia Carrot one.

[UrashimaNick]

yet another Ichigo 100% trading figure set:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y122/nickclkknt/ichigo5.jpg

my wallet is gonna hate me by the end of the year

Aya looks uncharacteristic, Satsuki and Mukai look GREAT, and Nishino looks ok, especially the pose if you know the story, but i really wish they would put her in a different outfit.. this is what, the third series featuring her in the maid/waitress outfit? and Yui is Yui...

[impalerprince]

I'd really like to track down the maid on the motorbike.

God, i can't recall her name.

[BotBoy]

:cool:

[Cursed Mourn]

nice

[frikafrax]

isnt the second one the Pia Carrot PVC that has a pic on the last 3 pages of this thread? o_O

Oh yeah, there it is... :rolleyes:

Looks like I'll have to up the caffeine dosage.

-F

[UrashimaNick]

I'd really like to track down the maid on the motorbike.

God, i can't recall her name.

the Mahoromatic one?

[UrashimaNick]

New PVCs?

http://tinypic.com/dnonjd.jpg



Her name is Nao, and apparently from something called "Mabinogi"

found that on a random blog, i dont know any other details.

[UrashimaNick]

oh, and if the finish product of this comes out looking half as good as these pics, this set is gonna rule:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y122/nickclkknt/tsukiyomi5.jpg

[impalerprince]

the Mahoromatic one?

Thats it. Came out in '03. That'll be a headache.

Nick is also corrrect about the the gal with the staff. I ain't gonna say how i stumbled onto the info though. ;)

Im with you, Nick, on that last pic you posted. Those are really nice. (name and maker again?)

May have to get them. Looks like a large set, or is it two sets combined?

[UrashimaNick]

I think its actually one big set.

Out in December, I am pretty sure they are from Alter, who i think is the same people who put out the recent Fate/Stay set that looks gorgeous. Oh, and the anime/manga these are based on is Tsukuyomi Moon Phase.

[UrashimaNick]

i think the official name for the set is: "Tsukuyomi ~Full Full Full Moon BOX~"

[impalerprince]

Ah, Tsukuyomi.

[impalerprince]

Tsukuyomi Furufuru Full Moon 1

I don't have any alter stuff, but thank god they aren't by Tora no Ana, who are doing a set.

[impalerprince]

The Ichigo 100% set looks nice too, but more of a Yujin 200 Yen deal, not a 500 Yen caliber set.

[UrashimaNick]

not familiar with Tora no Ana... they are doing a Tsukuyomi set? I know of about 3 or 4 different Tsukuyomi sets coming out, and at least most of the shots coming out look pretty good... maybe they get worse in production

The Ichigo set I can only assume will be good, assuming its made by the same people who did the first set. The sculpts looks very similar, so it probably is. The first set blew me away, one of those sets that looked better in person that any advertising shot that hit the net. :D

[impalerprince]

I got a palm scenery set done by Tora no Ana, and the production was poor. Paint was bad. And the protos were nice. I guess the months of delays didn't help them solve the issues.

I wouldn't have felt so bad if they weren't so fu(king expensive.

[Mifune]

good morning!!!!
http://tinypic.com/b9is84.jpg

[impalerprince]

Morning.

Hey, you wanna sell that Genmukan set? Since the paint is bad. I'd rather get them from you than have to order from an online joint? ;)

[Mifune]

im keepig the set the only extras i have is the yellow chick
they not that great tho ill show u pics of wut i have later

[impalerprince]

Im refering to the hentai set, not the set with the funky Yellow variants.

[Mifune]

ooooooooooooooo my bad but those r keepers

[impalerprince]

no prob.

I still want to see the ones you were speaking of. Best i can tell it's Regular, "Nude" and yellow versions.

Haven't seen any good pics of them yet.

[Mifune]

take a pic as soon i get back from class

[impalerprince]

Cool.

I need to get a group pic of the first set. Too lazy to gather them up though.

*judo chops impy*


hey , ya back!!!

[impalerprince]

I see you looking jikas-san.

I see they don't have Kaiyodo's grasp of hidden articulation...

[thejikas]

im not used to those things that kaiyodo calls joints


makes them figures look like they sprained their limbs or something

[impalerprince]

Hey jikas-san, when do you plan on going to XL next?

[Deansta]

F Southern Island, I don't care what they make I am not giving them a cent :)

[impalerprince]

LOL!!!

[Deansta]

I got a new resin kit today, it is all painted and ready to go. I should have pics in a couple hours :)

[thejikas]

Hey jikas-san, when do you plan on going to XL next?


any thing u want me to look out for?

[Wicked]

HOLY SH|T....I am in love.

[impalerprince]

Samurai Spirits gashapon set. Japanese retail 20USD.

[Deansta]

can i get a visual guide ;)

[Wicked]

I would tell yall but right now I have a chance to get it rather cheep, and I think it would be rather dum of me to tell people that I know would try and get it also, sorry don't mean to sound selfish but I really want this one. I will tell yall about it once I have got it, or missed it (man I hope it is thefirst one.)

[Deansta]

can i get a visual guide ;)

Just curious Jikas... What does a $20 US gashapon set run where you shop?

[impalerprince]

http://i7.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/e1/f6/e3_1_b.JPG

If you can tikam them lmk.

[Deansta]

http://i7.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/e1/f6/e3_1_b.JPG

If you can tikam them lmk.

Great set :) I wouldn't mind picking those up :)

[Wicked]

ugg...now I have a delmia....the kit I mechond earler, well eather I can get it unpanted for $20 of I can get i tpre panted for $150. and I not sure wich would be a better idea.....

[Deansta]

ugg...now I have a delmia....the kit I mechond earler, well eather I can get it unpanted for $20 of I can get i tpre panted for $150. and I not sure wich would be a better idea.....

Well unless you already have an airbrush, compressor, and etc... I would go with the pre-painted one :) The supplies alone would cost you way more than $150, not to mention the time it would take :) ;)

[impalerprince]

Prepainted if you can afford it.

[Wicked]

ok heres a qustion. on Hobbyfan.com when something is sold out, does that mean they will get more or is it that chances are they will no longer have it?

I ask because I have seen different places with different polices about there sold out stuff

[thejikas]

deansta + impy:

ill make a run to xl and let u guys know bout this set b4 the week ends ok?

i hope they wont exceed usd25....

[impalerprince]

It's possible, but unlikely. Unless they get a firm request for at least 10 orders, they could then ask for a second run of the kit to be made.

[Mattman2]

Iie, sake' only for me.

Ah yes. I've never had sake' myself. Smirnoff Ice for me.

[impalerprince]

Oh yeah, jikas-san tell that guy i'll give him 150 for that 18" schoolgirl. ;)

[Wicked]

It's possible, but unlikely. Unless they get a firm request for at least 10 orders, they could then ask for a second run of the kit to be made.
d@mn, I figered as much...now I really need to get that other one. the prepanted one I saw was sould out, and the one that is not panted says that they have to get 10 orders of it befotre that will get any more in.

so now I really need to get that other one, I will sut have to get some one eelese to do the work for me. may coast a little but this one will be worth it.

[Deansta]

deansta + impy:

ill make a run to xl and let u guys know bout this set b4 the week ends ok?

i hope they wont exceed usd25....

Thank you sir :) Much appreciated :)

[impalerprince]

So you decided to stop *****ging Matt's mom and join us, eh?

[impalerprince]

T bag is censored?

[Mifune]

yellow chick
http://tinypic.com/do5e29.jpg

[impalerprince]

Indeed.

She does this thing with her......

Seems i've said too much.

[impalerprince]

Yup, definately repaint it.

[impalerprince]

At least the hair and flesh. The yellow would be okay on most of the armor. Gunmetal other parts.

[Wicked]

um that thing doesent look to good...I not a artest but I think even I could pant it to look a bit better that that...

[impalerprince]

It's a monochrome variant. It's meant to look like that.

[Mifune]

tell that to the creators

[Wicked]

It's a monochrome variant. It's meant to look like that.
it is? were the people who made it blind or soemthing? I never understand soeme people

[impalerprince]

The Japanese do it all the time Silver is the most common they do. And clear.

This particular set as nude and yellow variants.

[Mifune]

those crazy japanese

[Wicked]

like I sayed I will never understand some people. I think I will jsut stick to the ones that look normal.

[impalerprince]

Well ya can't help it.

Unless you can buy them in a set yopu have no control over what you get. I don't know how Japanese collectors feel, but everyone else hates monochrome variants. Damn sets are hard enough to complete without throwing in those damn things.

[Wicked]

Well ya can't help it.

now that I understand and agree with, who would want something like that, I don't know about yall but I can barley tell what it is supposed to be.

[impalerprince]

I'd actually dig it. It is great for repainting. I'd be pissed if i got a set and it turned out all like that though.

[Mifune]

lol u should check out the 15 tsukihime gashas eva got me i have 4 clear arcruieds
http://tinypic.com/do5klj.jpg

[Wicked]

lol.....wicked..you have much to learn young padawan learner...
LETS PANTS HIM!
padawan? huh ya lost me there.....
pants me....I perfure to were shorts so no thants...

[impalerprince]

Damn. 4 of a soso figures is bad. 4 clear versions of a soso figure is unspeakable.

[Mifune]

lol i actually like that fig a lot im waiting for 2 complete sets to come in the mail

[impalerprince]

BWAHAHAHAHA!

[Wicked]

hope this helps...

I useuley get my DVD's for half what they normaey coast. I am a pinney pincher, so I get good deals on my anime.

[impalerprince]

Ya know, if i started getting anime dvd they'd probably all be hentai.

'Cept for Project A-ko.

[Deansta]

I like that McFarlane Armitage figure :)

[Wicked]

I like that McFarlane Armitage figure :)
yea like I said that is my best figer yet, that is why I decied to really start collecting figers insted if jsut limited edtions that came with my DVD's

[daniel shirkie]

i want that damn akira on throne fig from mcfarlane! why did i sell it!

Cous you're ******ed.?

[Mattman2]

Its an ok figure I guess, I never really wanted it. I REALLY want to get Kanedas bike.

[Mattman2]

Boy AINT SHE A BEAUT! :eek: :D

[Mattman2]

Damn damn damn you lucky SOB :D

[Mattman2]

BAH WELL!

Guess I'm goign to have to take it when I do that raid with the police later this week looking for drugs. :D

[Mattman2]

Well atleast will it to me when you die. :D

[impalerprince]

I got Kaneda's bike, and with the exception of the decals, it's anime accurate. The poster bike is different though.

Nice collection, Wicked, and with exception of the afore mentioned bike, McF anime figures are some of the worst i've ever seen.

:D

um...I am confused....are you insuting my other figures or McF anime figers?

[impalerprince]

McF anime figures.


I'd cut him some slack, but that thing he passed off as Major Kusanagi is unforegivable.

[Mattman2]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha AMEN I agree Imp!

[Wicked]

McF anime figures.

ok....no clue what your talkign about. but I think my Armitage is done very nicley.

[impalerprince]

Ever watch "Armitage"?

You'll see whats wrong with the figure.

[UrashimaNick]

hey dudes

wicked: i would join your anime thread in a heartbeat, but its a lost cause. Goff would just Goff it to the entertainment board, where it would die a quick death. :(

whoever mentioned Yumeria: yes, i have, and yes i do (assuming you asked if whoever saw it loves it)

[Wicked]

Ever watch "Armitage"?

You'll see whats wrong with the figure.
not only have I wached Armitage I own all three of them, that is the eposedsm the move that the eposides were made in to and the second move.

and I know he did not give her the right outfit and I cant figer what he thought was going on with her knees, but it is still a very nicley done figure

[DarthPredamorph]

I've seen Armitage....what's wrong with the figure?

[Mattman2]

Come to think of it I really need to start watching MORE anime. :o

[impalerprince]

Same here Matt. I need to stop being a "Classic hardliner."

Here eyes are completely wrong. Most of the McF anime figures likeness' are bad.

[DarthPredamorph]

Her eyes look the same except for the fact that she has more a menacing look, though.

Oh and her suit doesn't look like this either....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v55/EternalZero/other_armitage-repaint_photo_04_dp.jpg

It looks like this....

http://www.toymania.com/columns/rtmisc/images/armitagefig.jpg

...if that's what you were referring to Impaler.

[Wicked]

ok here it is the figure and two screen shots I jsut took form my DVD, one to show the eyes and one for the outfir form the seen that this figer is suppsed to be forme.
her outfit is wrong but it is still nicley done

[frikafrax]

For a company that prides itself on paying attention to the details, McF screwed up that costume. But even so, it's still not a bad attempt.

-F

[impalerprince]

The eyes are the most important on an anime figure. Her's are vacant.

It can look completely correct, but if the eyes are off it throws the whole thing.

ha ha ha ha ha well atleast you watch Hentai. I prefer to watch Dvds of the aniem I have but hey I dotn have the wallet for that. :D

[impalerprince]

I know what ya mean. I have a good long list of anime i want to get, but toys rule my money.

Now, if they weren't 20-30 a pop i'd have more dvds.

[Mattman2]

Amen. Puts a dampener on things when I walk into somewhere and find a decent anime I want then flip it over and see the big $30 price tag staring at me. My comic shop already marks up figures I want to super high prices, and we dotn have any sun coasts close, so its just one more thing added to the already long list of stuff that my comic shop has for outrageous prices. :(

[impalerprince]

indeed, indeed

[Mattman2]

So now I'm hoping they come out with some sweet biomechanical cyborg implants so I can hack off my arms and legs to pay for everything I want. Dont be fooled, if they every came up with a way to live forever by getting cyborg like implants, I'd be the first to sign up. :D

[impalerprince]

So, ya want your "ghost" put in a mechanical shell? ;)

[Mifune]

hope this will cheer u up
http://tinypic.com/do9v6x.jpg

[impalerprince]

It doesn't. Those Step-up love selector figures left something to be desired in the paint department.

[Mifune]

just a party pooper arent ya

[impalerprince]

Nope, just call it as i see it.

[Oiler_Fan]

Ah, I stand corrected then. McF was just exercising a little creative license.

I prefer the original scheme. They really should have avoided doing painted-on specularity effects. It looks really strange. They should have used gloss black to get natural specularity.

-F

[Mattman2]

So, ya want your "ghost" put in a mechanical shell? ;)

In true Anime form... yes.. yes I do. And give me the major around as well. :D

[UrashimaNick]

oh yeah, Advent Children was awesome

i only wanted one fig before, and now i want them all

Not completely. She wore the funky grey spandex in "Polymatrix" McF just repainted the "III" based figure to reflect it.

[gatoloco of zefiro]

Hey, its me again with another question, have you ever seen, get info, images, or something about figures of this two characters, Rally Vincent and Minnie May from Gunsmith cats, thanks in advance :D, ill chek it out later, got to go to school.... :p

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/zagatogato/STAR09143.jpg

[impalerprince]

They did a couple of figures a while back. Nothing to write home about, i think i can still get the Rally.

whered you get them from?

[The_Redeemer]

Wow, besides the ridiculous smile on the first one, those things are amazing.

[impalerprince]

I dig the evil, yet rediculous smile.

Like i said, i got them forwarded in an email.

[impalerprince]

Though im willing to bet whoever did the those tiny articulated Rei and Asuka book figures has a hand in these.

yes mine is the limited edtion that came with the lunch box. but I did not relize they changed the way it looked, I had thought they jsut re panted it to make it look better.

but in the back of my box that it came in (the one showedin the pic above) it says:

This is a exclusive and very limited-edition redecorated version of the original NAIMI ARMITAGE figure that was released in 2001 in TODD McFarlane's 3D ANIMATION FORM JAPAN Series 2.

[UrashimaNick]

I dig the evil, yet rediculous smile.

Like i said, i got them forwarded in an email.

ah, gotcha - i read that too fast 0 at first i read "just got these in the mail"

:D

Along with the products that Imp pointed out, they've also released a boxed statue set of Rally and Minnie May from Darkhorse Comics.

[frikafrax]

Here some nice stuff i got in my email. Don't ask, i don't know kuso about them.

Whoa, awesome figures!

From what I've been able to learn, they are 1/8th scale garage kits. There are at least four in this 'IDATENDX' series--- at least four I've been able to find.

Along with the Tubame ("Swallow") and Karasu ("Crow"), there is also the Raityou or "Snow Grouse" and the Super IDATENDX which is more of a mecha in looks and is androgynous in design.

I haven't found out about their origin, who makes them, their availability and pricing though...

Pics to follow...

If anyone's got further info, it'd be cool if you can post it.

-F

[impalerprince]

Didn't take long to pick up on the bird theme. :D

[impalerprince]

Anyways. if these are indeed 1/8 garage kits im willing to bet they'll cost a small fortune.

[The_Redeemer]

Hmm, those kits must be pretty rare. I have yet to see any on Y!J auctions, and none of the hk recasters have gotten any....they must be really low-run pieces.

[impalerprince]

Indeed.

[frikafrax]

Didn't take long to pick up on the bird theme. :D

Just being thorough... ;)

-F

[impalerprince]

Well here's to hoping they get a figure form, a 5", $50 dollar figure form. ;):D

[Green_Lumux]

those are sweet! damn; it almost looks like they're articulated... figs here we come !!

[gatoloco of zefiro]

Oh well, thanks dudes, maybe ots going to be a little hard to find, those, but ill keep looking, at least i have the Ovas and the manga :D

[impalerprince]

I can find the Rally. ;)

[gatoloco of zefiro]

I can find the Rally. ;)
How much???? you know that the shipping kills hopes like huracans kills world economy :(

[Mattman2]

Yet another group of things I'll never have the privilege of owning. :(

[impalerprince]

Don't feel too bad Matt. If those are truly garage kits not many people are going to.

[frikafrax]

Something interesting I found during the search for the IDATEN-DX figures...

http://www.frikafrax.com/forumpics/rg1.jpg

http://www.frikafrax.com/forumpics/rg2.jpg

Photos carry the label "Lega."

[UrashimaNick]

that thang rules the school

[The_Redeemer]

WOW.

[Deansta]

Those are pretty cool, I would but them if they were articulated figs :)

[impalerprince]

I got that mecha samurai in the email too. But i knew it was a kit so i didn't bother posting it.

[frikafrax]

I felt the design made it post-worthy.

Now why can't domestic companies design and produce anything like this? Articulated figures of this ilk would certainly kick ***.

-F

[impalerprince]

Well i try to discourage kit builders from posting and making the rest of us feel bad. :D


To answer your question. I can't really say. The Japanese just seem to be better and more creative.

That and the fact that toys and manga and all that kind of stuff is far more mainstream than it is here.
