Nice, Souky!

I'm hoping to pick this up, but I didn't order it online...

How much did u get it for? I'm usually kinda skeptical about Kaiyodo's stuff, it seems worse than Koto....

Can you give me a quick review?? Thanks! :cheers

I picked this one up from the same shop that tries to hook you up with the Subie.

I paid $30, but you can probably get one for $20 or less if you shop around.

As for the quality: This is one of the best PVC figurines out there. Much, much better than their other products. The only gripe I have, you probably figured it too, are the 'mold lines' (near her underarm), but that's expected since this is a PVC and not resin. Other than that, the figure is beautifully finished. :cheers

thanks Souky, for the review!

I don't think I'll be paying attention to her underarms :giggle

Great, now I'll have to get this one, along with Aya....... And I just picked up the gashapon set today. Pics hopefuly by tomorrow (I gotten build the things )

On the topic of mold lines and Tenjo Tenge, did u pick up the special figure of Aya (with a dragon behind her, while she's sitting on the ground) with the comic book? I got that last year, and the figure is superb, but there's a huge mold line on her arms :ranting

I'll take pics of the figure tmr as well, if you don't know what I'm talkign about

I know exactly which one you're talking about. No, I did not pick up that one due to the poor quality. I did saw a nice build-up resin kit of the exactly piece and it is absolutely outstanding. It was up for sale, but the gentleman wanted $389 for it. OUCH. :scared

Thanks, Mike! :cheers

Actually, I could remove the bunny hair, but then the figure would not be 'Anime accurate'. :happy

 

[gundam40]

wow, only 389!

Just get the Epoch cold cast pre-built ones, those are very nice, especially series 2 :giggle

Series 1 I regret not getting when the prices were still relatively "okay" :cry

 

[Guest]

nice figurine :cheers, good thing im broke or i'd be out gettin some

 

[winstoncds]

That is cool on Souky. Like Mike, I would cut off those antennas too, accurate or not. :lol
Is there one made of Uma Thurman in her Kill Bill pose. That is something I would love to have.

Dont you just hate it when 2 geeks get together :giggle

Cool figure Souky :cheers

What's up, Chris! Long time no see. :cheers

Yeah, some of these new ones are very hard to pass up. Like the diecast industry, the manufacturers are stepping up & produce better/improved products to catch your hard earned money.

Thanks, Winston. :cheers

Souky! Seeing your amazing photography skills of this figure, I've decided to get my own (both, actually).

But it seems the store is out! :ranting

However, I finally did find out the reason for your high price of this figure. You must have obtained the Japanese version of it, which at 30USD, is a good deal. My store says he's ordered the NA releases, coming in July. He promised to hold me a set.... :happy

BTW, are u getting the other figure too? I was thinking of getting TT pinkys as well, but they're far too pricey for the figure

You mean Aya?

Yup. :happy

There's another shop 20 min away (Comics & Comix) that has Aya and TONS of import goodies in stock. :cheers

 

[gundam40]

uhoh Souky. Bad (or good?) news for ya.

The Tenjo Tenge figures you bought/will be buying will have a set of different coloured ones, called BOME SP colour or something like that.

Wonder if I should get both sets....

 

[cdx008]

i need to get one of these one day.....

 

[Road Runner 72]

Here she is :hot ..............was talking with Gary tonight, and I have fallen deeper to the point I'm looking for a Maya for myself :help

I love the photo Souky.

:cheers
