Does anyone know where I can get Demi-Fiend? Most places are selling it for over $100.

But if you want to put a pre-order down, the cheapest I could find was $92 at Play-Asia.

Yeah, as DreamSword said, it's not out yet, the price is what it is because figma are just that expensive nowadays. MSRP's above 10k yen are the norm now. And there is no rhyme or reason for it most of the time, the recent Chainsaw Man debacle has made that perfectly obvious.
I have decided that Samus Dread Ver. will be my last figma. The prices are too crazy and I've been getting bad luck with QC too. 2 badly put together accessories in one box are inexcusable. That all being said, Demi-Fiend was among the first items to undergo the price change, so it is still somewhat reasonable. You can get it from AmiAmi for 68 dollars. You have to pay shipping of course, but it should come out bellow what local retailers charge you. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-137800 Last edited by Kiwami; 12-25-2022 at 03:49 AM.. |

Next WonHobby has rolled around and - nothing really exciting figma-wise? At least for me. Elden Ring is weirdly absent in their showings lately. Which works for me as I was planning on passing anyway.
But, I know a certain lady around here is waiting for this, so: figma Guyver 2.0! Considering it was labeled as Nr. "600" before, and the most recent figma pre-order is 595, this should pop up for pre-order soon-ish. ![]() |

figma Guyver 2.0 went up for pre-order today, now labeled as "figma Guyver I: Ultimate Edition". It looks pretty great, there's a special website with all the info so I link that here:
https://special.goodsmile.info/figma_guyver/en/ Looks petty great IMO, this one actually feels somewhat justified in the modern figma price range. It costs 12800 yen but thankfully all retailers get this and you can save a bit with the pre-order discount. ![]() ![]() |

Guyver should be a Netflix drama. Seriously.

Samus (Dread first run) came in. She's very cool!

I think you'll really like her. She's near 1:1 with the ingame model -- they even nailed the different reds on the helmet!. In fact, the only notable difference is the lack of panel lining (I plan to fill that in later) as well as the specific proportion of the rings on the lights, but that's such a minor detail I don't actually care. (The green on the 3d render is just my own interpretation I use in my art, the original texture is pretty much the same green as the figma.) It's my first figma actually, but she articulates very well and the only caveat I had was her alternate Omega Cannon is the tiniest bit too heavy for her to hold her arm straight out -- the shoulder is on a ball joint so just pop that bad boy out, apply a coat of Kiki or whatever water-based polyurethane you prefer and you'll be good to go!
