Keep an eye on Mandarake and you can get her pretty cheap. My girlfriend got her for 2000 yen and the box included all the other things she came with (bar the PSP game).

No no, I meant magical girl Madoka. She doesn't seem to pop up for any more than 3000 when she does, and I'm pretty sure AmiAmi is well-stocked on her.

Ohhh right, sorry. Yeah to be honest they're all quite easy to get a hold of sans uniform Homura.

So I just pre-ordered figma Amazing Spider-man and Miku 2.0 off of AmiAmi.

ATTACK ON TITAN FIGMAS! GOD DAMN YES!!!!

Oh man, I need those so bad!

I started watching Soul*Eater and have decided that needs some Figma/Figuartas love :lol

I saw these and had pretty much the same reaction. My only experience with Figmas so far has been to get the riders from Dragon Knight that I don't particularly care to spend the money on or that didn't have figuarts (looks at Femme). Funny how they devalued so quickly. I also picked up the pair of Blade and Evil and am waiting patiently for my SAL shipment.

I need Mikasa and Eren. Levi is rumored to be in the works

Okay, can somebody please explain that looming head?

Oh man…

THIS LOOKS SO INCREDIBLY GOOD! I think this might be the best sculpt Max Factory has done! And I'm not just saying that based on personal bias either!

Are those knife block-like things sheaths for 8 extra swords!?
Damn that is awesome.

You haven't seen Attack on Titan have you?

The stuff attached to her hips is basically a gas powered zip line with extra swords.

Attack on Titan: Think Spider-Man with swords fighting Gundam sized otakus. :p

They look nice. I don't like Attack on Titan. so I won't be getting them. I watched the first battle of the series, and man...that show is DARK.

I hope they make Levi, I like his poncho.

It's not a rumour there was an official anouncement, but there is no protoype yet.

A really spot on description, but you forgot that the giant otakus have a very specific diet :lol

Don't worry, it gets darker, way way darker.
And yeah levi is the one I'm interested in... I really need a source of income T_T

If you notice, Eren and Mikasa have figma joints on their wrists. Looks like Max Factory's trying something new.

Hmm... Considering I'm don't really think SnK's that great, I'm not too interested in the figmas, but if they make a Hanji, I'm sold.

Also, kinda surprised that I don't think anyone's posted this

Levi is an instant purchase!

Another Figma Max Factory will be getting my money for…

Really hope they do other Fire Emblem Awakening chars too.

If it were normal Marth, maybe... But only as a Smash Bros. fan would I want it. Right now, I'm just not into Lucina aaaat all.

Watch her end up in the next Smash though...

Exactly why I plan to buy it :lol

I really like Lucina's design and I haven't even picked up Awakening. I would get her if only for that.

SOme possible future Figma release :

Also hearing reports that they're making a Kusanagi Motoko figma but could be wrong on that.

Oh man it'll get crazy if they make Cardcaptor Sakura.

They are making a Hei Figma?! Take my money!

Hei, Sakura, and Kusanagi are all instant buys for me. I adore Darker than Black, Cardcaptors is always fun, and Ghost in the Shell remains a classic in all it's forms.

Sakura! Gimme! Gimme!
Hei could be interesting too.

What are the F/SN and F/Zero releases?

Vanguard Figmas could be very interesting. But I'd be more interested in getting some of the creatures rather then the characters, Blaster Blade in particular.

Is the Princess of the Crystal Figma any good? She's going cheap on Jungle and I'm thinking of picking her up.

She's pretty damn good for what you get with her. A massive cape and 3 penguins. The figure itself can be a little difficult to pose at times but I'd still recommend her.

Just grabbed her :D

So I finally have my Figma Tekkaman Blade and my Figma Princess of the Crystal in my hands and I have to say...I'm fairly unimpressed.

Detail, paint, articulation, accessories are all fine but I can see why they both come with stands, because neither is weighted properly so it physically can't stand under its own weight, unless you spend ages fiddling and getting them in a ridiculous stance.

Still though I think the worst thing about them is the size, Princess has a reason for being so skinny, but she near towers over Tekkaman whose slender form from the show is taken to such ridiculous extremes. He actually looks pretty stupid on my shelf in general, being the most armoured out of everyone and being a good head shorter than everyone and a good shoulder width smaller to boot.

Princess of the Crystal stands fine without the stand providing you're using the tailcoat to weigh it down at the back. If you take it off well...considering her high heels I'm impressed she's able to stand at all without help.

Yeah but leaning against the cloak dress thingy doesn't really count as standing under her own weight.

You expected her to be able to stand up with the cloak not dragging on the ground? Given the nature of her design you were expecting way too much of the figma then.

Yeah I did, it isn't like her feet are on needle points. And once again I find this mindset so ridiculous 'you expect too much of your toy if you expect it to stay up without leaning on something', what a load of bollocks.

Except it is ridiculous to expect a spindly plastic doll with tiny feet to be able to hold up a huge plastic cloak in mid-air without any form of support. The width of the blowing cloak is about 4 times the width of the actual figure. It's a case of either accepting the reality of that pose being completely impossible to achieve without assistance or sacrificing that element of design altogether.

This isn't like Figuarts where Bandai expect you to buy a stand separately - every Figma comes with a stand because Max Factory acknowledge the fact that sometimes their figures are going to need it. Look at all the Princess of the Crystal statues out there, they can't maintain the blowing pose without additional support either.

I don't mean with the cloak, I mean without. She eventually loses the cloak for the majority of her appearances, but without it she's just too light and will just immediately topple without loads of fiddling and getting her in an awkward pose.

I decided to pick up the EVA girls starting with Rei. Her figure was everything I expected of a figma release, even if she ended up far more expressive than she needs to be. Looking forward to tracking down her fellow pilots. Now all we need is for them to announce Shinji....
