Anime Figure Thread

[Mr. Bungle]

I definitely do, she's my fave of the Dust figures.

[impalerprince]

Why's that Nazi chick carrying a non-German weapon?

Edit. It is German, old, out-dated German.

[Mr. Bungle]

OMFG

[Mifune]

lol thats a sterling i presume. i dunno y shes carrying a british gun but i like the overall idea of the fig.

[impalerprince]

It's a Bergmann MP-18. WWI German vintage. You're thinking the Sten gun.

[impalerprince]

OMFG

Go play with your Keroro Heroines and leave the war talk to us. ;):p

[Mifune]

ah.........

[Mr. Bungle]

Go play with your Keroro Heroines and leave the war talk to us. ;):p

How can I play with unarticulated statues OMG MCFARLAND MUST'VE MADE THEM

[BotBoy]

Cool haulage there!

[impalerprince]

make them dance. I'm sure you'll figure something out.

[Mr. Bungle]

ha!

[Mr. Bungle]

They do like to magically fall off their bases if you even just bump them, maybe that's their action feature.

[Mifune]

i found a 109 that would go nicely wit the stuka.....

[impalerprince]

Eh, if it ain't a 109G i'm not buying. I was never really a fan of Winter schemes. Now, if it was a Hans Ulrich Rudel Stuka in Winter markings i'd bite.

[demonHunter]

Wah, Mr.Bungle, you have the Cloak and Dagger statue!!!! Me likes Dagger.

Wooh, you have the Street Fighter fighting girls mini busts. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Nice collection.

[Mr. Bungle]

Thanks.

[Mifune]

wuts the diff between a E and a G????

[impalerprince]

The entire front end, because of the different engine. Wings and tail are also shaped differently.

[impalerprince]

Oh, Mifune, you'll like this info.

21st Century has a new Mustang in the works, and from what i hear it's aces over Bbi's.

[Mifune]

o damn thx for da news. any idea wut its gonna look like? ......paint scheme and all that jazz?

[Mifune]

btw imp.....i caved in again. remember those exclusive mustangs i posted in this thread earlier?? ya i ordered them and also got another sky captain 1/18 from the same site.

[impalerprince]

Nope, just know they're doing a new one at that the prototype was supposedly quite impressive.

They've also got an Avenger torpedo plane, but i dunno when it'll get released.

You and your impulsive buying. ;)

[Mr. Bungle]

http://70.86.201.113/imageserv2/temporary/PBF082ADChristmasCards.jpg

[Mifune]

lol. btw dunno if ya saw my post a while ago, but im in asia and was wondering wut i should be looking out for. ive got sum stuff at my sellers place already, just wanna c im missing anything new.

ya im a sucker when it comes to movie-toys/related products, and in this case the sky captain p40. the only reason i came across the site and saw the exclusive was because i was searching for his damn P40. dunno if u've seen sky captain yet, but as soon as i saw the trailer i knew i was gonna buy everything related to the movie. (yep im serious). the movie was a blast and when i saw the prototype of 21st i almost **** my pants. and ya im a big sucker for exclusive items too.

[impalerprince]

I dunno, there's lots of stuff out. Get whatever you should think you'd like in your collection.

[Mifune]

just look at this damn thing
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/skycaptain.jpg

[impalerprince]

Eh, somethin' about the all-black look doesn't sit with me. The 109 night-fighter looks plain like that too.

[Mifune]

that night fighter looks plenty cool too. saw one on da bay not too long ago but passed.

[Mifune]

i think theres a new p38 coming out too. gonna havta plan a trip down to walmart

[impalerprince]

Eh, i like the grey/black spots with the all-black mid-line and undercarriage better. More interesting, visually, than all black.

[Mifune]

this not bad too
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/290.jpg

[impalerprince]

Yeah, "Chevron"

That's the next one i plan on getting.

[Mifune]

so imp i assume u have a walmart around u, so if i were to walk into a walmart today, what type of 21st products would i c? of course different location have different stuff, but id like to know if the 1:18 are easy to get at walmarts.

[impalerprince]

Currently mine has a couple of FW-190Ds. 2-3 variants of the P-47 as well. Several tanks (both regular and the R/C versions) German and US half-tracks. Some carded figures and 1/32nd stuff too.

You might kind 109's and Corsairs around in Wally Worlds too.

[Mr. Bungle]

Newly preordered:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/misterbungle/capcom_fc_capsule_toys_shop.jpg

Finally I'll have figures of Tiffany and Karin!

[impalerprince]

Sweet, Rival Schools figures.

Mifune, my wallyworld had a fresh shipment of the F-104s today.

[Deansta]

Haha cool Bungle :) I have those 2 sets on pre order also

[Mifune]

Currently mine has a couple of FW-190Ds. 2-3 variants of the P-47 as well. Several tanks (both regular and the R/C versions) German and US half-tracks. Some carded figures and 1/32nd stuff too.

a i c. i was at teh walmart near my sister about a month ago, and the only 21st product i saw a WWII accessories pack and a 1/6 sahara jeep wit figs. not that i was looking for 21st product at that time. im gonna go visit my sis as soon as i get back, so hopefully i can find sume goodies at the walmarts around her. id really like to get another stuka if i can.

[Mifune]

btw, wuts up wit "motorworks"? i searched for 21st stuff and the company motorworks shows up.

[impalerprince]

Just a brand that they use at wally world.

I hear there is a Stuka repaint in the works, so you'll get your chance for one.

[Mifune]

o damn, ok. how bout u just tell me wut else is coming out from 21st? lol

[impalerprince]

Lots of stuff.

I saw the 1/32 FW-190 Black 12 and the Me-262 today as well.

[Mifune]

o lol.............so when will we be cing that 1/18 Me 262?

[impalerprince]

Dunno, hopefully early '06. Avenger is due Feburary i believe.

[Mifune]

so hows everyone doing this morning?

[Green_Lumux]

Newly preordered:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/misterbungle/capcom_fc_capsule_toys_shop.jpg

Finally I'll have figures of Tiffany and Karin!

a new akira! yes!!!

[impalerprince]

you apparently missed the Akira Dollgure.

[Green_Lumux]

you apparently missed the Akira Dollgure.
i've seen it; i'm just in denial. :D

actual she's prolly the best looking one out of the bunch; the school uniform one looks pretty decent, though i've never seen one in person :(

[impalerprince]

They're markedly improved over the early ones.

[Green_Lumux]

They're markedly improved over the early ones.

are they readily available? I remember seeing the proto pic on the moby **** site; haven't really heard too much since then.

The Lei Lei in series 1 was kinda cool; never could bring myself to get it though.

are they're any pics of the ME-262 comig out? These 1/16 planes are absolutely gorgeous.

[impalerprince]

1/18th. ;)

I'd assume it'll look close to the 1/32nd version in markings. The 262s didn't have alot of really nice paint decos like other German aircraft.

[Mifune]

so imp wut else can u tell me about german aircraft today?

[impalerprince]

The ME-262 was powered by a pair of Junkers Jumo BF 004 B-1 turbo jets, producing 1.986 lbs of thrust. There was a variant that had a .50 calibur machine gun in the nose, and the two-seater trainer version was equipped with a nose radar antennae array for night fightin.

[Mifune]

ah i c, wut weapons did it came equipped with?

[impalerprince]

The standard armament for a Me-262 was 4 30mm cannons.

[Mifune]

o how bout a p 40 warhawk? sum specifications would be nice

[impalerprince]

Powered by the Allison V-1710 39 12-cylinder V, that could produce 1,150 horsepower.

Top speed at 12,000 feet was 367 mph, with a range of about 850 miles. Standard armament was 6 machine guns, though it could also carry a small bomb load.

[Mifune]

what was it used against?

[impalerprince]

Most of their use was in China. They were poorly suited to tangle with the Japanese Zero.

[impalerprince]

Nick,

Here's a link to some info/pics about the Miu figure. Looks like you're outta luck (or have slim odds) of piccking one up.

http://www.gashaponrakuen.com/collections227.htm

[UrashimaNick]

cool - thanks for finding that

[impalerprince]

Mifune,

21st's new Mustangs:

http://us.st11.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/badcattoys_1877_25223705

[Mifune]

arugh!!! damn u imp! now ive gotta get them all. well er....not feeling the first one that much but the second and the 3rd is a must get. btw tell me wut is going on?? y so much?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6995054982&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Fcgiurl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcgi.ebay.com%252Fws%252F%26fkr%3D1%26from%3DR8%26satitle%3D6995054982%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1

[impalerprince]

No clue. The paint is almost identical to the first one. Guess a couple of folks really want it.

[Mifune]

i guess i can safely assume that the planes will be walmart only? or maybe tru also? i saw the marauder set at TRU not too long ago, it was the first 21st century product ive seen at TRU for quite a while.

[Mifune]

ya that original stuka is really nice, id get it if the price is right. that desert camo one wit the red snake is really nice too

[impalerprince]

I hear that 21st might be back at TRU.

There is also another P-40 coming out.

[devastator]

mr. bungle where did you pre order the rival schools bunlde?

[Mifune]

lol first it was the mustang and then the p38 and now the p40.......well thats good, that means i dun havta drive 1 1/2 hr just to get their stuff.

[impalerprince]

Supposed to be the Langley Airfield Pearl Harbor markings.

[impalerprince]

Actually. Langley Field P-40 is out already.

http://us.st11.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/badcattoys_1873_26067875

[Mifune]

thats one fine lookin' plane

[Mifune]

so wuts everyone doing this early in the morning?

[Mr. Bungle]

mr. bungle where did you pre order the rival schools bunlde?

www.ncsx.com (http://www.ncsx.com)

More specifically:

http://www.ncsx.com/2005/ncs121905/ncs1219u.htm

I might order that KOS-MOS figure on that page too.

[Mifune]

anyone into ghost in the shell here?

[Mifune]

lol imp........i just realized that the blue mustang from 21st is for a Lt. John Meyer

[impalerprince]

What do you mean "in to" GITS?

[Mifune]

well, first off, to like to show and movie. second, know all the known products produced and possible ways of locating them

[Mifune]

i shall suck major co ckness if anyone can locate this. i currently have a few routes of getting it in mind but it involves major hassle. btw theres another version which has a vest and a shotgun.

ya its a doll, sue me. but this is exactly how it looks in the movie
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/ghostintheshell.jpg

[impalerprince]

I would suck **** for that too........... It really does look like it was inspired by Hans Bellmer.

Um, the GITS manga is supreme, only watch the film if you can ignore the manga. Alpha did a line of 6" figures, there are numerous gasha and UFO figures, and maybe a few plushes. The movie poster glows in the dar/ under blacklight.. um. yeah.

Then there is the Stand Alone Complex, and probably an accompaning manga and then Innocence. Haven't seen them, but i'm sure they won't live up to the first one, in my mind.

Also, there is a good section on GITS in Shirow's "Intron Depot I"

[Mifune]

theres actually one on the bay rite now, but it doesnt come wit dvd and its a bit high considering the retails only about $270

[Mifune]

just checked out sum of bellmers work, and i must say that its absolutely amazing. from wut i saw, not only GITS was inspired by bellmer, but also dollfie. the body styles r almost identical

[Mifune]

hell i think it also influeced silent hill

[impalerprince]

270 for a doll is fu(king rediculous.

For about 80 i can get a Volks body and kimono and have something similar. Still nice though.

[Mifune]

ya and ur in trouble if u ever become a dollfie collector

[impalerprince]

I've been toying with getting a doll and kimono. I only need one. I have better impulse control than you. :p

[Mifune]

lol if ya gonna get a volks body, which one?

[impalerprince]

Not really sure. There are alot of options.

[Mifune]

lol i have a custom doll that i scored from da bay a while back..............its the super bomb version

[impalerprince]

That doesn't tell me anything........

[Mifune]

o it means the boobies r superbomb sized

[impalerprince]

baka........

I'm thinking i'd go with the Dollfie 27cm soft bust Type 2 body. I think the kimono would hang open better with the larger chest.

[Mifune]

of course. im gonna go check out sum things today (Its 9:07) in the morning now. hopefully ill come across the doll today. btw did ya happen to know which comany made the special gynoid doll?

[impalerprince]

Oh, the Innocence one? No clue. I'd say Volks. Japanese dolls aren't my area of knowledge.

Azone may have made it though.

[Mifune]

i actually found a site that delievers to the US but they want $625 for it.

[impalerprince]

Christ almighty. You can get a set of Alphex Seven Samurai figures for that much.

[Mifune]

the dollfie dolls r quite nice but when ur about to drop $500-$1000 id think twice
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/dollfie.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/dollfie1.jpg

[Mifune]

o? i didnt know u were into alfrex samurai figs.............ive got a coupla them myself, and my fav would prolly be meiko kaji

[impalerprince]

Only way i can see dropping that much was if i was going 1/3 scale, which i have no plans on doing it. One of a kind for that matter too.

[impalerprince]

I'm not, but i have seen them in my internet travels.

[Mifune]

ive yet to open her yet, but from the pics and saw and the reviews i read, they r really top of the line. afterall, they're handmand

[impalerprince]

Well, at what they retail for they had fu(king better be.

So, it seems like the last thing i'd need to settle on is the head. Problem with Volks is they're for customizers, so i'll need to paint the eyes i bet.

Or i could steal a Barbie head..

[BigC]

My **** is nice.

[Mifune]

lol id like to c a barbie head on a volks body. that'd be a complete waste of a good body

[impalerprince]

Que?

[impalerprince]

lol id like to c a barbie head on a volks body. that'd be a complete waste of a good body.

Come now, with proper paint you won't even know it's Barbie. ;)

I might order that KOS-MOS figure on that page too.

thanks :)

[impalerprince]

Actually, i have a Japanese-made Barbie around here somewhere. looks just like a damn Jenny doll.

[Mifune]

lol...........well its ur call

btw heres a coupla pic of the meiko kaji alfrex fig
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/meikokaji1.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/meikokaji.jpg

only limited to 1000 pcs and sold out already. wuts good about this company is that they never, i mean never, refresh their figs...........goddam kaiyodo

[impalerprince]

Eh, i don't care for her.

[Mifune]

just showing u how nice it is.

[impalerprince]

She's the poorest i've seen from Alfrex. A little sparse in the accessory department.

[Mifune]

lol thats not it, theres more i dindt show u, i didnt bother to host the pic. shes got more stuff than that. while i dunno remember all of them, i know she comes with a kimono

[impalerprince]

Luckily i need not buy her just to get a Kimono.

Though she would make an awesome base for that chick from "Onmyoji".

[Mifune]

ya talking about da movie rite? it be great if we can get sum figs from that

[impalerprince]

Yeah, Lady Moon i think. That doll there would be a great base for just before she oni-ed out

That crown of candles was cool.

[Mifune]

lol oni-ed out............that i remember that scene very will. which one u like better? 1st or 2nd?

[impalerprince]

I'm gonna have to go with the first one. I need to watch 2 again though.

I could really go for "Samurai Resurrection" figures.
"Kunoichi" ones too........

[Mifune]

medicom made sum samurai resurrection figs both 12" and kubrick. both based on the remake. ive got 12" jubei. while its nice on its own, id prolly still go wit the alfrex version.sonny chiba rules! ive only seen parts of kunoichi, so i dun remember much

[impalerprince]

Shjit, since i'm gonna do this damn open kimono doll, i might as well make that candle crown. At least she'll have something to divert attention away from her snatch that way. :p

[impalerprince]

I figured there were 12" figures.

The Japanese need to learn to embrace a happy medium between 12" and 3". ;)

[Mifune]

lol. and limited production runs................or even more annoying, magazine exclusives. i saw the cutie honey gasha on the bay a few days ago, da one u showed me that was an exclusive from a magazine. da seller wants $21 for it. and hes from japan

[impalerprince]

There was a Wonderfest Exclusive too. One of the other figures had a Pewter version with gold accents.

[impalerprince]

And 21 for a magazine exc. really ain't bad if you think aboot it.

[Mifune]

lol...............exactly

[Mifune]

id rather pay retail for them. i wouldnt mind paying a little more for that other magazine exclusive tho..........da blonde chick wit the black bikini top and a smg

[impalerprince]

There's an exclusive figure that came with the G-Taste Mah-jong game for PS2

[impalerprince]

Um, these are Japanese market magazines, that don't usually get imported. So unless your gonna get a subscription your just gonna have to suck it up. ;)

[Mifune]

tru dat. tats y im always bak during breaks. ya know any exclusives thats coming out this month?

[impalerprince]

There's an Ichigo Marshimaro one, i think. That's about it that i know of.

[impalerprince]

Ya might look for this Djirbril figure while you're there, Mifune.

http://hinatatiki.web.infoseek.co.jp/gangu5/hina_ariesucv.html

[UrashimaNick]

i dont even know what Djibril is (I assume hentai?) but man those figure/PVCs are AWESOME

[Mifune]

not bad imp.......

[Mifune]

im also getting that grey haired chick

[impalerprince]

Beats me, i don't watch the stuff, just study the figures.

[UrashimaNick]

oh, my Ureshiko arrived today

(stock pic):
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y122/nickclkknt/SRDX-F29-300.jpg

i dont plan on opening her just yet, and i wasnt planning on even getting it until they released another figure from the same show. the pose kinda put me off at first, and i hadnt watched the show yet.

but i am enjoying the show, so i splurged on a cheap ebay auction, and i am now happy i did. the part that gets me the most? her legs. they are amazingly sculpted. I cant really describe it, but they have to be the sexiest sculpted legs i have ever seen on a fig.

[Mifune]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm not bad, not bad at all
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/rusyuna01.jpg

[impalerprince]

That Grenadier's breasts are articulated.

Nick, the pose is the only reason to buy that figure. Seen alot of cheap auctions for her.

[Mifune]

lol ya i saw. that is ****ing awsome

[impalerprince]

I haven't seen any pics of it in action though. If they altered the position in that review i couldn't tell it.

[Mifune]

a big step in doing articulated hentai chicks, but of course she isnt from a hentai

[impalerprince]

Breast articulation really doesn't help.

I think the best you're gonna do for articulation and hentai is Dollfies. Nipples, basic crotch details.

[Mifune]

lol

[impalerprince]

It's true. Some sculpey and paint work, a hole drilled and there you have it.

[Mifune]

hahahhahaha. that gives me an idea for my dollgure

[Business Cat]

It's true. Some sculpey and paint work, a hole drilled and there you have it.

Weirdo.;) :D

[impalerprince]

Shut up. :p

He wants a fu(king articulated hentai figure, i'm telling him how to do it.

[Business Cat]

Shut up. :p

He wants a fu(king articulated hentai figure, i'm telling him how to do it.

I know.:D *In best Bizarro voice* "Me just joke with Prince buddy.";)

[Mifune]

lol

[impalerprince]

I dunno if it'll work on a dollgure. Them being pure rubber and all.

May not work on the dollfie with the soft bust either.

[Mifune]

whens that grenadier fig coming out?

[Mifune]

wuts everyone up to this early in the morning?

[Deansta]

Nada...

[UrashimaNick]

my next SRDX fig was released today... or yesterday... anyway, its the Ichigo 100% Toujou Aya... must have this one...

[Mifune]

pic would help

[UrashimaNick]

ah, i imagine it might... :P

i'll go find one :D

(forgive me, its early, and i'm still half asleep ;)

[UrashimaNick]

here she is:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y122/nickclkknt/yuj95374.jpg

[UrashimaNick]

oh, and i spotted this the other day:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y122/nickclkknt/367426.jpg

I think i have seen it before, but i had no idea that it was goign to be a north american exclusive

[Mifune]

not bad...............not bad at all

[impalerprince]

There's no such thing as exclusive NA distribution.

Besides, they already have the kit in Japan.

[UrashimaNick]

yeah, well for those of us who cant do kits, we get this

[Mifune]

maybe AAA anime is an online retailer?

[impalerprince]

Sounds like it.

Ya know what Nick? Maybe you stop buying those garish SRDX figures and practice. :p j/k

[Mifune]

lol i still wanna get that grenadier srdx............posable boobies.............

[impalerprince]

Then stop talking here and go order the *****. :D

[Mifune]

lol, im still trying to find her. i havent been hunting the past few days becuz i had to attend a coupla family meetings and dinners. i think im gonna start on monday

[Mifune]

btw that new gigapulse chick is suppose to be out too, im gonna look for her too

[impalerprince]

Hayase Miina comes out in Janurary. I think Nagisa 1 is Feburary.

[Mifune]

really? my seller sent me an invoice stating that its suppose to be out on the 25th

[impalerprince]

All i've seen indicates Janurary.

[Mifune]

well lets find out monday.......

[impalerprince]

Doesn't matter to me. The earliest i might get it is Janurary.

[Mifune]

ah where ya planning on getting it?

[Mifune]

these two items would make a really really nice xmas gift for me............
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/seburo.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/ghostintheshell.jpg

[Mifune]

this is the other version..............damn!! finding her is a *****
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/ghostintheshelltypemotoko.jpg

[impalerprince]

Wow, nothing but a tactical vest. Meh, the kimono version is far nicer.

Oh, you'd better buy those yourself if you want them for Christmas. ;)

[Mifune]

lol of course..........but the trouble is finding them and paying the rite price for them

[DarthPredamorph]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/riceboix/seburo.jpg

That gun looks kickass......what's it from! :)

[Mifune]

its a kit..........made after dominion tank police

[impalerprince]

I don't recall that gun in Dominion.

When has the price ever bothered you?

Besides, limited pieces don't wait for the right price.

[Mifune]

of course, but theres a chance i can still find the dolls in taiwan. for a lower price of course. as for the gun, here
http://www.poseidon.co.jp/2F/mn-23/mn1.html

[Mifune]

da one wit the shotgun is actually on the bay rite now but its the doll only...........im not paying full price+++ just for the doll, if i was going to pay that much id better be paying for the whole package

[impalerprince]

I'd just get the kimono version and kitbash similar gear and boom, both at the cost of one.

[Mifune]

that'd be an idea too.....but ya know me, i cant just kitbash a fig, i want the fig:D :D :D

[Mifune]

after sum searching i found out shirow used the gun company "seburo" in a lotta mangas such as intron, dominion tank police, appleseed, ghost in the shell........damn

[impalerprince]

Indeed, and it's sad. ;)

[impalerprince]

Yeah, he created it. He's done multiple model schematics.

Hell, i think there is an entire Intron Depot volume dedicated to guns.

[impalerprince]

e likes to add little details to his world.

Authenticity, huh? Then don't ***** about the price. ;)

[Mifune]

all im saying is y pay more when i can try and find it for cheaper? and i was complaining about availabity...........i actually saw the whole package wit the kimono about half a yr ago............im ready to kick myself in the ***

[impalerprince]

Look, lets say that there are only 300.

What do you do when you find out that all 300 are gone, and that you passed up on the real point of the set, the doll, because it didn't have the extra crap? Just food for thought.

[Mifune]

lol then in that case id kick myself silly in the ***. but like i said, this is partly im back in asia for, to find stuff that i cant find in the US.

[impalerprince]

Well, i wouldn't expect a whole lot of luck in Taiwan either.

Some shjit just doesn't make it outta Japan.

u'll never know:D

[impalerprince]

True.

I wouldn't waste time in Taiwan, i'd go straight to the source. ;)

I'm glad you posted the kimono version though. I didn't know aboot it and i really like the concept. Fortunately i can copy the look and not have to do the search or expense.

[Mifune]

of course lol............ya fluent in japanese? cuz im not. we should prolly take a trip there sum time considering we're both in that kind of thing.

have ya ever seen innocence btw?

[impalerprince]

Nope, don't watch anime too much these days. I doubt it live up to the first in my mind, non-official sequal or not.

[Mifune]

ah....i actually learn an interesting fact from my friend when the movie was first released. the second installment actually took them 8 yrs to draw! 8 yrs!!! thats just purely insane. of course, the movie was good so it paid off. but damn

[impalerprince]

Hmm, if i ever see it i'll be the judge of worth. ;)

[Mifune]

of course. lol

[impalerprince]

:D

Good luck in Taiwan though, your tastes are usually fairly impeccable. I'm sure you'll come back with something to drool over.

[Mifune]

lol, thx man. im flattered. ill be back within a week and a half anywas. so that means im gonna have to go hunting the whole next week. hopefully i can turn up wit sumthing i can drool over myself with. "thinking about the damn doll on da bay"

[thejikas]

[impalerprince]

Oh, that reminds me. That second gun, the Seburo C-25, is what my camo repaint movie Dunan is packing. Borrowed from "Alias" Kusanagi.

I did a double-take the first time I had seen it but it's confirmed. The MN-23 made an appearance during the Battlestar Galactica mini-series.

-S

[Mifune]

[Mifune]

I am obsessed with this statue.

I've already ordered her. Now, I have to wait for E2046 to send her out to me......

Come Poison, come to me.........muhahahahahah*chokes* *cough* *cough* bwahahahahah. *wheezes*

I just hope the quality is good. I'll have to drive to this shop down in K.L to get a quotation from this hobby shop guy, and get him to paint and assemble for me.

I was digging and digging on Mitsumasa's website, and found so many photos and pics that I've never seen. Some people had already gotten her since September, I didn't even know even though I keep trolling the Net for these stuff.

*FAINTS*

[Deansta]

That Poison kit is nice :) Reflect does amazing work

[Bttl Rvgd Hnk]

you cant wait for him. HIM not her

[Deansta]

you cant wait for him. HIM not her

Shim :)

[Bttl Rvgd Hnk]

I's still hit it

[Deansta]

Already did :eek:

[impalerprince]

Mitumasa is a kami. Too bad almost none of his stuff will get wide release.

I'm sure you've seen the trading figure Mifune, of the Doll and the dog from Innocence. Based on the poster art.

[Phoenix Blaze]

Hey chaps and chapettes, in need of your anime knowledge. Is there a good figure or statue of Mai of the SNK games out there which isn't totally perved up? Also, I'm looking more for just a cool action figure cos I don't trust the guys who make the Capcom vs SNk figures to do a good job.

[Bttl Rvgd Hnk]

all of her is perved up so your ****ed on that. A cool action figure I'd go with Vincent from Advent Children

[Phoenix Blaze]

I meant I want a cool action figure of Mai, but yeah I suppose anything will be a total perv fest, ah what the hell, just show us what's out there and I'll decide what's too much.

[Phoenix Blaze]

Cool, thanks deansta, I'll try hunt down the max factory one, looks to be the best, well atleast closest to what I'm looking for.

[Deansta]

It is a good one... I got mine from HLJ.com :) There is also this version by Toys Planning that is nice aswell...

http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?It_c=10043679

[impalerprince]

Ummm, yeah, I'm glad Deansta took that one.

[Phoenix Blaze]

That other one is pretty cool, kidna skinny looking though.

And so begins my adventure into posting on this thread more often.

[impalerprince]

I wouldn't if i were you. Asking about a non-perved Mai has me questioning your intentions.

I mean, have you ever looked at Mai? I mena what do you expect? ;):p

[Deansta]

Ummm, yeah, I'm glad Deansta took that one.

I can't let you do all the work ;)

[impalerprince]

Nope, there were 1/6 figs in '04 that were limited editions bundled with a dvd.

[Deansta]

Damn promo figs... I still want that Shonen Asuka :(

[impalerprince]

Yup. Japanese love to limit stuff. The doll pictured above ( on the left) had two versions. One in an open red kimono and one with a tactical vest and shotgun. They retailed for about $275. The dolls themselves only differed in the hair piece used.

There are pics a couple of pages back.

[Deansta]

There is no way I'd pay even close to that for either of those dolls

[Deansta]

My family is the best, they know just what to get me... I got a Samurai Spirits Haomaru 1/8th scale statue made by EPOCH today :D

[Phoenix Blaze]

I wouldn't if i were you. Asking about a non-perved Mai has me questioning your intentions.

I mean, have you ever looked at Mai? I mena what do you expect? ;):p

yes I have looked at mai, in Capcom vs SNK2 I use her purely for the distraction technique, but i want a sensible figure of her.

[impalerprince]

Well, it's a personal thing. Japanese figures like that retail in that range all the time.

I like the idea of the Kimono one, but i can get the look for about 60 bucks using a Dollfie and kimono.

My family never knows what to get me, so i ended up with Pete and Pete season 2 and spending money.

mmmmmm, Hentai figures.

[impalerprince]

Sensible, right.......

I got the Bbi version, and i like hte 6" Yujin one as well.

[Deansta]

At least you got some $$ to spend on what you want... That works too ;)

[impalerprince]

Indeed it does. I'm certainly not complaining. I dig my DVD too.

Only problem is what to buy.

[Deansta]

Sensible, right.......

I got the Bbi version, and i like hte 6" Yujin one as well.

There is also another one I have, not sure who makes it though :o It is based off of a resin kit though, about 6" :)

[Bttl Rvgd Hnk]

Any one know how much a cheap round trip ticket to Japan would cost?

[Deansta]

I went there and back for about $580 about 2 years ago :)

[impalerprince]

the i dunno edit.

[Deansta]

That was a good time of year too

[Deansta]

Ticket isn't really the hard part, the hard part is coming up with the money for all the dope stuff you will find ;)

[Bttl Rvgd Hnk]

Take some rubbers, an American flag shirt and a few 8x10's of Ralph Machio and I'll claim to be him. I'll bang all the hot rich chicks who love the karate kid and make them buy me toys. What's the best itme of year to go?

[Deansta]

Haha, sounds like a plan. I went during cherry blossom season :)

[Deansta]

In most major cities in between, including Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, the cherry blossom season typically takes place around the end of March and beginning of April.

[impalerprince]

Well, you can sleep in the train stations and eat convenience store food. That'll save cash, and sometimes they get exclusive figures.

It really all depends on what you want to go see. Cherry Blossom and ***** festivals in the Spring, Winter and Summer for Wonder Fest.

[impalerprince]

Oh, and if you want to pull top-shelf Japanese slit, Ralph Machio ain't gonna cut it.

Get some really good bootleg Gucci and you'll be set.

[Bttl Rvgd Hnk]

hmm sounds good. I'd love to go during white day though he.
