/a/ - Animu & Mango

Can we talk about gunpla here?

>>918688

Sure!

>>918909

>liking nigger butt

Flat is justice. Obesity is disgusting.

The dress looks good.

>>918909

>older sister fixed up a dress for a titty figure

Did she know what it was for? I'd assume so since you need measurements. It does look really nice though, Anon.

>>918911

>>918909

>>918914

Can we not get into this pointless shitflinging please? Both are attractive in their own way.

>>918902

>near-life size

For Shimarin that probably is life size. She's tiny.

Any gunpla/model gurus here?

How do you get rid of seam lines, personally? What about painting techniques?

How do you get started buying things?

>>918971

Honestly you're probably better asking in the /wip/ thread on /tg/. A modelling knife is fine for mold lines, as for painting make sure you thin your paints and apply multiple thin coats.

>>918972

Read the fucking guide.

>>918973

>mold lines

Thanks, but I was talking about the seam between two pieces when snapped together. I've read you can add putty and scrape off the extra after it sets a day later, and then scrape off the extra with a knife and sand paper the same way you would mold lines, then repaint the whole thing. I was wondering if there was easier ways for smaller seams and about your personal process.

>>918978

>seam between two pieces

Ah right. I've only experience with 40k, but either gluing together with plastic cement and then filing across the seam tends to make it less apparent - the paint will then hide the rest. For larger seems a small amount of green stuff, maybe even liquid green stuff, should do the trick.

>>918985

What do you use to file it?

>>918991

Wouldn't those take off too much or ruin the plastic? Sorry, I'm really new to this and trying to understand. I thought a soft sand paper would be better.

>>918992

Not really. They're reasonably fine grain files - just be gentle and have patience when using. Honestly your best bet is to watch some gunpla related videos to get an idea of what kit other builders use. /m/ might have a gunpla thread as well, though I'm not sure.

>>919204

Plush does not feel the same as a real fox tail.

>>919205

>Japanese Fox becomes critically endangered because sick otaku need their fluffy fix

That said, I like the size but would appreciate longer "fur". There isn't anything to brush on that thing.

>>918971

The best thing for painting a gunpla is an airbrush though I am no expert on using one.

>>919224

Nice find anon, how expensive can it get?

>>919260

Online you might be able to find one at $120 though Amazon has it listed at $150.

>>919809

How do you use a figure?

Hotglue

>>920010

For pleasure, obviously.

>>920074

"I'myummy"

Got a question regarding AmiAmi. Have any of you cancelled orders before if real life stuff comes up? How badly does it affect your account?

Might be helping out my parents this summer and thinking about cancelling two separate preorders I made last year to save some cash. I've made six orders in the past and always paid on time. Just don't want to fuck my account due to wanting to help out family.

>>920097

Read.

The.

Guide.

>>920097

Anons have been over this as early as the last thread, or the one prior.

It's not a good idea.

Anons have gotten away with a wristslap (one month account suspension for accidentally missing a payment), and another got off by stating the reason for cancellation was because the item's wait time was extended past the original release date, or something like that.

I'd suggest not trying to cancel both orders, at the very least only chose one.

A business does not give a shit about your personal problems and you should have thought about that before impulse ordering more than was reasonable.

>>920154

Unless you physically get the figure, that's a normal price. You generally have your "cheap" figures that are about $30-$60, then there's a price hike to about $107-$200 before you get into rare collectibles which can run for more. At least when I visited Mandarake and Yodobashi that was the case. I know I put down like $60 (between the cost and shipping) just for the Hatoba Tsugu nendo.

>>920154

Figures like that (as in, not capsule toys, nendoroids or figmas) are limited runs made for a small but very dedicated number of people. They're not going to be cheap.

>>919809

It was either that or spend way more money for a new unopened one.

>>920330

No, it's アミ you fag.

>>920330

>>920423

You're both wrong, it's 網

>>920423

>>920330

>>920471

I bet you all wear rainbow socks.

>>920527

Only white socks with the grey heel/toes part and sometimes writing on the toe-knuckles for me.

>>920252

>>920221

>>920272

Thanks. I wasn't sure what normal figure prices were, so I had no idea what to expect.

>>918971

Seam lines can be removed by using cement on the insides of the crack, smooshing it together so they fuse, then sanding the excess.

>>921340

>no hems on any of the edges but the bottom

Anon, I think you've got a long way to go. I hope to hell the second picture is the inside.

>>921370

I like how remilia is in the background of both and staring, almost as though she's waiting for how anon will respond.

God I really fucking hate nendroids.

>>919205

Depending on the plush it does. That doesn't look like it odes though.

>>921350

What on earth is that thing? Is that how mankos are supposed to look? Is it a side effect of how figures are made?

>>921607

Hotgluing isn't nearly as prevalent as you might think, but buy a blacklight just in case.

>>921613

>Rin nendo

>no face plate of her blushing

That's a missed opportunity right there.

What is resin like? Would it be fine to try and fit clothes on a resin figure? Is it not good to be constantly handled?

>>921692

You can play with it all day unless you're playing with stuff that isn't set.

>>921692

The resin itself isn't very vulnerable or dangerous unless you're filing it and the dust gets in your lungs. Resin figs are however usually painted and lacquered. I personally don't play too much with them because I'm not certain how much it would degrade the varnish.

Clothing them shouldn't be a problem, but if its a garage kit it could be hell to put back together if something falls off.

What is the best place to sell my stuff? I'm moving and my new job is offshore so I don't really have anywhere to keep everything. I plan to keep a few small figures though.

>>922102

I know a little while ago there was another anon who was moving who put up a bunch of listings on MyFigureCollection. I bought some stuff from him.

>>922102

Try to avoid ebay and amazon unless you absolutely have no other option, they aren't very nice to sell with.

>>922103

I remember that anon posting his figures, at least some of them found a new home.

>>922103

>>922108

I forgot about MyFigureCollection, I'll give that a shot.

>>922114

Link the profile page when you have the ads up, like the people above I also bought some stuff from that Anon who posted his figures.

>>922108

Does MFC have a mediator or do you just ship your stuff and hope you get a payment?

>>922346

Are you retarded? You ALWAYS ask for payment before you ship it. You deserve to die.

>>922159

It won't be for a few weeks as I have them all packed up for the move. It might seem dumb to move them 1000 miles and then sell them, but I'll have more time to deal with selling them when I finish the move. I'll certainly post in this thread when I get them up.

What exactly does it mean when amiami says

>*Shipping costs for this item may be very high due to package size or/and weight.

Just mandatory EMS?

>>922915

It means exactly what it says. It's too big/too heavy so they have to go with more expensive shipping options.

Say, can amiami delay shipping an order if you ask them? Say asking them to not send your thing for a couple weeks?

Also, have any of you cancelled an order because the release date got moved back? How'd that go?

>>923906

>Say asking them to not send your thing for a couple weeks

I would expect the answer to be no.

>cancelled an order because the release date got moved back

I haven't, but I have heard other anons have with only a warning. It most likely depends on your account, how much you've bought, how much you've on preorder and the like.

Is there a yahoo auction proxy that will skip themselves and have the item shipped directly to me if the seller offers international shipping?

>>923906

If you want to mess with shipping dates, your best bet is to pay for a dedicated shipping service like tenso. It's going to be expensive, though.

>>924142

>Pulchra

Don't do it to yourself anon.

>>922803

Half the fun of lolis is forcing it inside something that should not fit. I imagine the opposite is true too.

>>924143

What's wrong with Pulchra?

>>925112

Read the guide.

>>922915

From my experience anything that ends up in a box that is large or unusually shaped (long/narrow) will have expensive shipping even through the cheapest means. I've had orders of things like tapestries where EMS was actually one of the cheaper options.

Stuff with that kind of warning is usually going to be at least 1500-2500 yen on shipping.

>>925306

I would also like to add that I had previously ordered ~¥80,000 worth of products in the past and paid them all on time, including pre-orders, which might have helped in their decision not to ban my account. Don't try if this is your first order or if you're a new account.

>>925304

It's a hell of a figure, so if you're Yoshikosexual then why not.

Would you buy a Doraemon game?

>>925639

So it's harvest moon but with Doraemon? Sounds fun

>>925648

I got her. She's pretty dang cute. The ears and basket are a bit sub par, but everything else is decent quality.

>>925773

Taito makes the best prize figures. I just wish they would stop making 50 variants for every figure.

Would you buy a futanari figurine?

https://twitter.com/moeyo_monpuchi/status/1124911343012798466

>>926099

No, I would not. The fuck is she pulling on? That better not be her foreskin.

>>926103

It's a condom, all the futanari figures designed by Ban wear condoms.

>>926099

>Would you buy a futanari figurine?

Yeah but probably not that one. The condom pulling just looks dumb. A true shame because her proportions and penis-size are really nice.

>>926108

I'd rather have an optional figure without the condom pulling.

>>926099

I'd get one if it was from Futabu.

Does the scenery come with the nendo fig? I couldn't find that out.

>>926573

What kind of saber is that?

>>926826

>Am I a faggot?

Yes. Amiami is not responsible for any delay by the manufacturer.

>>926826

Don't assume that a missed release date means a lost preorder. Next time, send them an e-mail asking what the problem is before reformulating your shipping plans.

>>926961

Understood. I sucked it up and paid for the preorder.

>>926949

You'd think they'd send me an email, though. When I had another preorder that had a sudden delay, I was sent an email, hence my confusion.

>>926826

Why do you care when you get your figure anyway. The wait is a part of the fun.

>>927491

Shipping costs go up quickly if you order a lot of items and don't ship them together.

>>921370

Are those two the real japanese made figurines? I bought both of them from china for 800 yen yea just to see how shit they would look, but apparently the real ones look just as awful

Why are all the Azur Lane figures price (Jew) gouged? I play Kancolle and all of their figures are reasonable.

Is GR 36c from Girls Frontline ever going to get a figure?

>>930650

Because Kancolle is retarded bullshit compared to Azur lane and deserves no money. It is also kadokawa.

>>932771

Sex doll or 1:1 scale?

>>932773

Kancolle has better girls even if kadokawa are fucking retards that wasted their franchise.

>>932773

> It is also kadokawa.

Wrong. The main copyright owner is C2 Kikan. KanColle is a partnership between C2 Kikan, Kadokawa, DMM and later Sega. Tanaka (C2 Kikan) directs the game and makes all the important decisions. The game is developed by Kadokawa games, directed by Tanaka, and the development cost is paid for by DMM. Kadokawa has essentially nothing to do with the game besides providing the lower ranking staff. Profits from the game go to DMM and C2 Kikan.

Kadokawa + C2 Kikan are responsible for all the print materials, anime, and the Vita game. That's the sections where Kadokawa gets most of the profit from.

Sega is responsible for the arcade game.

The core issue is that KanColle was lighting in a bottle. It succeeded because of an idea and not because Tanaka is talented. The current situation is that Tanaka (who was a producer before creating KanColle) is the director for the games and script writer for the anime adaptations. I don't even think that he has any significant game design or writing experience prior to KanColle.

>>930652

Azur Lane isn't hot. Fanart,doujins and revenue dropped heavily in a short amount of time. Monthly revenue is in the 200-400 million Yen region, which isn't amazing for a mobage. For comparison:

Shadowverse around 900 million Yen.

SINoALICE 400-600 milllion Yen.

FGO 7500-11000 million Yen.

Pokemon Go 4000 milllion Yen.

It's likely that Azure Lane is going to make less than half the revenue it made last year. If the anime isn't a success then the game will die or become irrelevant.

The only place where Azure Lane is "hot" is the West. And maybe China.

>>932796

Nah, they make wild money in Japan. While China money might be big as well, I think the domestic market is still bigger.

>>932796

China is rarely even the primary market for chinese mobage unless it never leaves.

>>932796

>Isn't China the main market for these cashcow mobage?

Japan is the most important market for this type of gacha whale mobage. China is the biggest mobile gaming market by revenue, but most of the revenue is for these weird competitive e-sport mobile games that never make it out of China.

For gacha anime/manga style games Japan is king, when Azur Lane broke $170 million in revenue, $139 million came out of JP. (This number does exclude Chinese Android sales(no data), but even with that it's very unlikely that China comes close to the JP revenue).

>>932904

To test your devotion.

>>932773

You people just don’t seem to understand some fundamental issues with your arguments. Are the Japs bad at business? No. It’s the customer who is bad at trying to purchase/use their product. I don’t really see a problem with that because of it creating a natural barrier of entry, which in itself dramatically increases the average iq of a Kancolle player. Not to mention the demographic change which makes it an almost exclusively white and Jap player base. If you have ever encountered the other riff raff, you know how much of a difference that makes.

Moving on to the gameplay. Azur Lane is a mind-numbing side scroller yawn fest, with little to no strategy required. This is solely to appeal to children, non-whites, and idiots (see: the /vg/ clusterfuck thread). Kantai Collection’s gameplay is “centred upon building squadrons composed of individual characters represented as cards with different attributes, and then sending said squadrons out on missions”, as stated in the Wikipedia article. It is also resource management and a bit of RNG involved, which could be greatly reduced depending on your fleet. Air superiority is heavily considered (LIKE IN THE REAL WORLD) when sortieing. It can change the tide of the battle. There are more different types of ships than AL, Destroyers, Coastal defense ships, light cruisers, torpedo cruisers, battleships, etc..

There is also a sense of risk and heroism (Shigetaka Kurita does an excellent job of replicating) that emulates the feelings of these ships and her sailors while fighting back the forces of evil in WWII. American imperialists, communists, and the international finical/jewish system sought to destroy what was left of honor, tradition, and family values that were heavily present in Japanese and German society. I felt a personal connection to these ships, almost as if I really was commanding their holy war. The sense of loss plays heavily on the emotions of players (myself included). For example, my wifes sinking voice que is “Admiral... May your fortunes hold... I'll... be watching from Valhalla...”. Valhalla is the hall of fallen heroes in Norse mythology. She has yet to sink, however, just reading that I sensed a powerful connection to her which isn’t really present in any other franchise.

>>933272

It's a prize-tier fig so it's not like it's much money just to get both. Also that is the answer to your question.

>>933288

It's the principle.

Is there a good way to buy gashapon series from Japan? There are those minipla series and other similar things I'm interested in but the prices are insane. It's often 1000% mark up.

>>933641

Removing seam lines is a personal preference but the basic way is glue the piece together (Super glue or plastic cement) then use some kind of putty to fill it. My preference is milliput because it's cheap and you can sand it down once it's dry. Green stuff is often recommended but it isn't as hard when dry and can detach. Squadron putty or tamiya putties fine too. It's all the same process but picking what works for you.

Painting depends on what you're doing. If you just want to fill in the missing colours hand brushing is fine. If you want to do a full repaint then spray cans or an airbrush is recommended. There are professionals who hand paint and make really good paint jobs but it's very difficult. If I was just starting out I would pick up a vallejo starter paint set and the spray cans for the large areas. Army painter are the best bang for your buck spray can wise.

>>918973

/wip/ is dead on /tg/. The best place he could go is cuckchan's /m/ or /toy/ and go to the gunpla threads there to find the guides. Or the ever awful r/gunpla. There aren't any good gunpla communities in English and Reddit is unfortunately the best you're getting for advice and tutorials. Just expect it to be Reddit and don't stick around longer than you have to. If you want to get feedback or see pro-modelers instagram is popular with Asian modelers as well as Western ones. A lot of work there doesn't leave the place and it can be useful for contacting people. There is facebook too but that's worse than the other options since most facebook users will crosspost on cuckchan any way

I've explored the community, it mostly sucks and you're going to have to go places you don't like or end up isolated

Being a Gunplafag outside of Japan is suffering. I want to pick up some armour core kits but they're incredibly expensive without postage even coming into it. I wouldn't mind paying the retail price but when postage is £10-20 on an order it becomes unreasonable.

I was looking at picking up a 1/100 Gundam 00 Terien for a diorama piece mounting 1/72 German flak cannons on the back but I refuse to pay £10 postage on a £20 kit. I tried all the usual sources for a cheaper alternative but it's out of stock every where. A 10 year old kit of an unpopular design in an unpopular grade isn't going to see much reprints.

>>934042

I buy a lot of stuff from the Jap second-hand market. Mostly doujins and CDs but also a fumo, which was much more reasonably priced than you would find in the Western second-hand market.

>>935698

Make a custom stand out of molded plaster or clay that fits her exactly.

>>934042

The option is great but the shipping costs always give me pause. If I can't get it through Kinokuniya or other places that already import stuff, I'll do it, but it's a last resort.

>>935818

Fair point. Will start with just 10 minutes a day. Currently working on learning my future occupation, getting /fit/ and probably growing sweet potatoes for fun and cheap veggies.

>>936228

>Thought it was 22k USD

>Almost had a heart attack

>22k JPY

That's... It's unreasonable but it's not absolutely horrible.

>>936409

If a figure is 22K USD it better be 1/1, do the dishes, and assassinate people for you.

>>936411

I'd just be happy if it wanted to go camping with me...

>>936408

By you now you must have a pretty nice wardrobe for your figures. What does your sister think about your big tiddy anime figures?

>Figures I ordered are literally at the post office

>Won't ship out until Tuesday because live in a shitty third world country where things don't ship on Saturday and Monday is a holiday

>Acting like you didn't make it this lewd on purpose

>>936411

You need another zero at the end of the number to be in the 1:1 price range. I'd love to get a 1:1 but the cost is so high it has to be custom and few will want to make one.

>Daki showed up

>Still trying to find a spot in my room for the wall scroll

I-I'll take a picture of it at some point.

>>935822

Try to do it in 10 minute blocks a few times throughout the day, 10 by itself might not be enough in the beginning.

>>937651

Don't worry, Anon. You're guaranteed to fuck it up so don't worry about it too much. Just focus on learning for next time.

>>935807

Don't waste your effort on learning a language you have no real use for. As you get older you will out grown japanese media (Most do) and you will have a useless second language where a real skill could of been. Unless you're planning to use it as a career, it's just a bad time investment. The reward isn't there as opposed to almost anything else you could do.

I'm sure someone will say I'm wrong but they're usually young enough to still be obsessed with anime and aren't building a real life instead.

Good luck fixing your life.

>>938246

Then why are you here?

>>938246

How old are you referring to before someone "grows out" of anime and builds a "real life"? 20? 30? 40? 50? 60?

>>938261

Do you never drop into old haunts out of curiosity?

>>938269

Between 25-35 is when people tend to give up their teenage hobbies or at least limit them down majorly. There's more important things to be doing than watching TV shows and your body isn't as capable of sustaining the damage it does to it. Eyes don't recovery as fast from long hours staring at a screen, sleep isn't as easy to dodge for "just one more episode" and if you repeat the same activity over and over it becomes less enjoyable as is human nature. It's usually about how long it takes to notice a decline in the quality of things from what you originally had.

The only people who still cling to childhood hobbies beyond that tend to fail to launch so to speak. They don't develop adult relationships and continue to use escapism as their primary method of living. Most of them aren't enjoying it but it's sort of an addiction at that point where you keep going back because you have nothing else even though it makes you feel just as bad or worse unlike previously where it was pretty enjoyable.

The way life changes as people grow can be seen in a lot of older anime franchises and how they market themselves. Aim for the children with TV series and release movies or OAVs for adults who enjoy 90 minutes of nostalgia every year or two but mostly grew out of it. Sunrise are perfecting that model with Gundam being the poster child for it.

This is getting off topic now, but as that anon said, he's looking at his life and where he wants to be and how to achieve it. "I want to watch anime without subtitles" isn't progressing your life in the direction you want it to go at that stage of life. So unless you have a long commute and can listen to something like Japan pod 101 or whatever while doing it, it's mostly a silly childish dream that adult you should accept. It's not like you're going to be investing 200 hours in untranslated RPGs and reading piles of manga when you have to work 9 til 5, take care of errands and potentially look after kids. You have to ask yourself the honest question. "Do I want to have a family or do I want to read manga alone for the rest of my life?" That's ultimately the time being sacrificed between either of those goals. Especially in the modern era where you have to be extremely careful in who you attach yourself to and need to vet them extremely hard.

I did start learning Japanese myself a few years back, I figured I could read untranslated mangas and play Japanese games no one would translate. I realize they were stupid goals which didn't improve my life in any meaningful way. These days it mostly annoys me when I understand things because I realize how much time and effort I wasted just to read comics. It was to put it simply a mistake of my youth. I could have put that time into things that would of improved my life drastically and I would still have had more media to consume from Japan than I could possibly do in 1 life time even if I did nothing else any way.

>>938323

Gee mister, you sure do make a lot of assumptions.

>>937265

Daki update: I debated between a "proper" daki filling pillow and memory foam, but decided on the memory foam for weight-related reasons (it also happened to be cheaper). I can wholeheartedly say that this was the right choice. An hour after unsealing the memory foam pillow from its vacuum sealing it's finally regaining its natural form inside the case, and while it might not be as luxury as a proper daki pillow, the extra weight is a very nice touch that makes it feel like I'm actually cuddling her. It's still a bit lumpy, but I imagine this will be a self-correcting problem if given a few days to conform to my hugging her.

>>938343

I'd be curious as to the price difference between a DHR7000 and a memory foam inner. I genuinely believe the DHR7000 is worth every penny.

>>938346

>DHR ~$110

<Memory foam: $50

>DHR: 2kg

<Memory Foam: 3.4kg

Room at the bottom:

>DHR: ???

<Memory foam: about 1 inch due to American sizing

I can't rate comfiness factor since I've never owned the DHR, but I wanted "weight" and "conformity" in my daki, and so far the memory foam delivers. DHR is probably great, but it wasn't what I was going for in a daki pillow and was outside what I was willing to spend as an "upgrade" from my smaller pillow I previously was using. The memory foam is perfectly fine to snuggle in these hot months so I'll probably stick to it for the time being. Much in the same way one goes to minimalist shoes, skeletoes, then vibrams, I'll likely upgrade to a proper pillow next year.

>>938349

As an A&J DHR7000 user, I can say the 160x50 inner is a really snug fit for the official 160x50 daki cover. I've used the cospa daki inner in the past, the found that the 160x60 inner needs to be used with 150x50 daki covers for a nice, fluffy, fit. To this day I have yet to find an inner that will completely fill the corners of the daki.

>>938343

I fill my daki with only the finest Hungarian goose feathers but I'm glad the foam is working out for you brother.

>>937651

Roll is dead simple to build, just don't wory too much about the skirt feeling too loose. If you press the lower body peg into the upper body slot too hard to try and get a tighter fit, you can damage the hip joints in a way that keeps either leg from staying in the socket for it. I've made many mistakes before and since, but this one still slays me.

>>938323

Those are hilarious assumptions and statements. Enjoy your delusions of being a "better" person.

>>938376

>You will grow up and see how much time you wasted on gaining nothing

Just because you're dissatisfied with your dead end life doesn't mean every /a/non is stuck in the same rut you are. Stop fucking up threads just because you're annoyed you can't spend as much on plastic butts as you'd like.

>"Do I want to have a family or do I want to read manga alone for the rest of my life?"

Those things are not mutually exclusive and you know it. You sound like someone who was forced to give up something he enjoyed by his significant other, or just got rid of it yourself to "improve your chances", and deep down, you despise yourself for compromising your own integrity like that. It wasn't about anime, or manga, or family, it was about strength of character and being true to yourself, and you know you fell short.

Now, the only way you can console yourself is painting it as "the mature thing to do" and inciting others to repeat your folly.

What's the cost when it comes to feathers/down compared to foam?

>>938323

Excuse me, my hobbies haven't toned down one bit. It feels fucking good that I can read and play untranslated Jap media not to mention communicate with interesting people on the other side of the big pond.

>Do I want to have a family or do I want to read manga

bitch I got both those options, sucks you can't commit to anything seriously, even if you could I'd recommend you 自殺する.

What the fuck anon, go back to reddit

>>938601

46cm isn't really that big. I have a dedicated 1/4 shelf that all my bunny figures go on. If you like her, go for it anon.

>>938911

They should only charge you once it's in stock.

>>939261

I've never had issues with freight shipping, but then I never bought things via freight where that was a particular concern.

Well hooray, I was complaining recently and she arrived at the store yesterday, I pre-ordered September, it was due March. >>918966 Annoyingly it didn't come a couple of days before when I was in the city, so today's been an annoying trip there and back to collect it. Quality-wise, it's Pulchra so not particularly special. However the theme of the original image pushes so many of my buttons that I'm happy with it. Curiously, her shoulder straps could be moved aside. No nipples under them but there is the possibility of nude modding it. I also somehow missed her side-ties are half-off but it's more noticeable on the fig than the image.

>>938910

I just want a Plutia, Segami, Next White, or White sister twin set

But what I want more is a wonfes exclusive Game Gear so I can finish the damn set

>>938359

I've almost finished but the mini skirt and main skirt don't fit together at all, pls help

Are there companies that make Precure figures from recent seasons? The ones I find are long sold out and from the early (about heartcatch and earlier) seasons. Even if no figures are made I'm only finding keychains, clothes, and cosplay stuff. I can't even find posters/tapestries.

>>944360

>set me up again

They set you up once? How strongly did you chase this random slut away?

>>944645

You don't have to, but it makes the figure even cuter.

I'm kind of assuming the 2kg limit on SAL SP includes the weight of the box it ships in, is that right? Trying to stuff what I can in there and wondering what sort of weight leeway I should leave on the order for that to not get slightly boned on having to do a double shipment, like 150g or so?

>>936228

Yeah fuck that. No way.

It looks gorgeous, but that's way too little plastic to justify the cost.

>>944555

Not too strongly. I couldn't ghost her because she knew my family, so things escalated when I politely told her I had no interest. Family more or less took that and my lack of no serious 3dpd relationships as me being homo or asexual. Works fine for me though, I wanna enjoy my life and not be another lonely loser who gets married out of desperation for affection.

>>938638

Glad you pulled the trigger. I hope they meet all your expectations, and more!

>>938910

I have that same Ram - good taste anon. The guide has some decent tips for base attachment. It may be worthwhile trying at different times of the day, and at different temperatures. I've had some figures that refused to attach properly to the base during a cold night, but went on just fine in a mild daytime.

>>944645

You definitely should watch Yurucamp. I make it a rule to only get figures of shows I've watch - I think it leads to a greater attachment to the figure if you are invested in the character and her show.

>>944655

Anyway weight limit would include the container it's shipped in. So the 2kg limit there would include the weight of the box and contents.

>>944695

Nice collection of BD/DVD anon.

I've essentially run out of room in my display cabinets now. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on some nicer display cabinets to replace the 6 detolfs I have, which would also slightly increase my display capacity. Only issue is the ones I'm eyeing off are a good $1200 each, which I can afford but find it hard to justify.

Do plushies count?

>>944898

Wow, they turned her into a puni loli.

What direction should Japanese media be stacked on shelves, left-to-right or right-to-left?

>>944695

Why BDs?

Buying translated manga makes sense, since there's an objective difference between reading manga on a screen versus on paper. But what difference does it make watching anime from a disk rather than a torrented mkv?

If you really want something on your shelf, you could go as far as getting a BD burner and a set of blanks. Blanks and that style of case are both a dollar apiece on Amazon, and burners look to be around $80. Add on a few cents for printing the liner too, if you want. Meanwhile an official BD is what, $60? For the cost of a handful of official BDs, you could have entire shelves of bootlegs - without money going to localization companies, and with your choice of subs.

>>944980

Actually, scratch those prices. I forgot my leafbucks are worthless. Blanks and burners are only 2/3 that in USD on American Amazon, and cases less than half.

>>944859

> wanting to understand books/shows you bought is bad

I am impressed by your great wisdom. I

>>944980

Most of the stuff I have with the exception of Ghibli films and LNs is secondhand from eBay. So localization ain't getting shit beyond that. But I'll look into what you said about making my own bootlegs, Amazon just came to my country so at least that's an option now.

>>946441

I can't really speak of not wasting money, but they certainly look cute.

>>946499

I never knew about the horrors of physical products and limited stock/production before. The plushie collecting market is insanely competitive, it's so hard to find them.

>>946567

Yeah, and it's not like BluRay collecting where you can affordably mass produce quality replicas. The only other option I'd see would be for you to pay someone from ETSY (or similar site) to make a replica. But those can be just as expensive.

>>944699

>I make it a rule to only get figures of shows I've watch

Dubs speak the truth

Good blog that just rounds up announcements and order/preorder listings? All I do is check amiami front page and feel like I miss a lot.
