Sofubi customs? Never seen him do that. All I remember of him was mostly SHF customs for auxiliary forms, final forms, or proportion mods.

Why does Eternal go for such a crazy high price? I get a main Rider's final form being in high demand, but a summer movie villain/anti-hero star of an extremely boring V-cin? Is Eternal one of those cases like Scissors, where the Japanese fandom has an unexplainable obsession?

And he got that V-Cin by being bloody popular. The Japanese fanbase really loves Double on its own (as evideced by both SS and SO-DO going for near-completion), and Eternal has the appeal of being a bad-boy misunderstod fallen hero with a well-liked design with a memorable starting role in the movie. He ended up being W's main rep in Zi-O, he's just that liked. Add to that Eternal being a PB release, and people are willing to pay the quid for him.

So, wait: Eternal's popularity isn't just a halo effect from SURPRISE DRIVE being the greatest theme song of all time? I did not think of that!

Too much once again. Need to slow down next year...

Oh man that MAFEX Miles. A shame most of their figures since Deadpool require shock oil in the hips, but I'm still excited to get mine next year!

Haha yeah I did have to oil one of his hips, but at least so far I also haven't felt like anything's about to snap, a common issue for other MAFEX I've seen and something that made me very nervous getting my first one, especially one so thin. But he's surprisingly sturdy.

Ever since their RoboCop figure, MAFEX's' QC has been steadily improving. But yeah, hips that are way too tight is unfortunately a common issue to this day.
