Where to buy
>GSC Online Shop - some figmas only are available through their online shop
>Amiami - usual place for buying, to some people, shipping is a bit higher due to packaging
>Hobby Link Japan shipping is usual lower, but their prices are a bit higher, private warehaouse is available
>Hobby Search Japan - items stay in stock the longest
>Mandarake - search figma or フィグマ
>eBay/Amazon - only if you hate having too much money. Avoid bootlegs, you can spot them as 'Chinese version'
>http://jungle-scs.co.jp/ - Seems like you can fine some good deals here
>Check the BST threads, My Figure Collection for any offer/deal

The S shape is always good advice though. The basic idea is that straight lines tend to look stiff.

Error in Official Blog Post for figma Sakura Miko
>The product was introduced in the official blog post "In commemoration of the 1st Live Event! Preorders open now for figma Sakura Miko and figma Hoshimachi Suisei!" as having an articulated ball joint in the side ponytail, although the actual product does not contain a ball joint in the specified area. The side ponytail is, however, articulated.

Akaza reissue

>>11560901
The worst of the 3 options available. Kek. Guess they want to cash in with the movie in theatres today.

>>11560901
Yeah no you can keep this one, Goodsmile.

>>11560901
>Reissue the flop of the subline
Odd choice.

>>11560918
Actually true.
The other figs that are still relevant in the movie (sans) Rengoku aren't amazing but they're all entirely usable.
They could reissue Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, Shinobu and Giyu and those are all better.

Will we get more pokegirl figmas in the future?

>>11560986
No, Nintendo/gamefreak are the ones in charge of handing out licenses/deciding on what products they want and are afaik notoriously annoying to work with. We’re getting plushies and statues now. Which is too bad, I really want Leaf.

>>11561033
it's 2025 anon, just 3D print

>>11560901
the peg jutting out of his knees look disgusting!

>>11560986
we'll probably, if lucky, get nu hilda in the eventual Gen 5 remake
also a VERY low possibility of a Red reissue as is one of the most wanted nintendo figmas alongside the Samus figmas that all got reissued recently
something to note is that aparently the swsh girl was done in house by the pokemon center and sold by figma, i have no idea how that works but it seems sometimes nintendo themselves do the merch

The mika figma came out look real nice, a real shame the tarrifs cost me an extra 30 bucks but whatever. Now to find a cake roll accessory

>>11560986
They seemed to have given up on them after gen 8. The 30th anni next year would be the best excuse to do more if there was any intention.

>>11561090
>eventual Gen 5 remake
Great, more BDSP garbage. They don't need remakes imo.

And yeah, Gloria and Raihan were Pokemon Center, while Red, Selene and Lillie were GSC/MF.
It's the same thing really like when Phat or Freeing does figma, but they're still under GSC's umbrella. TPC isn't, hence the frustration.

>>11561102
>while Red, Selene and Lillie were GSC/MF.
+ Marnie

>>11561091
Re-ment probably has something good for the roll cake.

>>11561091
I want my cute Gorilla too...

>>11561091

Akari Figma when? How much longer will we be made to wait!
I wonder if there was ever even a prototype.

>>11562936
>Akari Figma when?
yeah, uhh... about that....

>>11562943
What are you saying anon? That i may have to wait another couple of years?

I accidentally broke off the pin on one of my figma's stands and need to get a replacement arm, does anyone know where to get one?

>>11563410
Few options:
- Just buy a dirt-cheap figma off mandarake
- Buy a knockoff off Ali
- Buy a "The Simple Stand" or Di:Stage, they use the exact same arms.

>>11563410
Gluing it back on with cement works as long as you used the stand just for support and not aerial poses.

>>11561033
It’s not Nintendo or Gamefreak that’s a pain in the ass it’s TPC
The Pokemon Company makes everything 100000x harder than it needs to be

>Okarun's skinny elbow joints combined with black plastic and thin limbs.
>Momo having a fragile cloth sweater that limits a shitload of her upper body articulation.
>The shipping prices.
Guess I'm going to have to suck it up and get the figuarts despite all the criticism I've heard about them.

>>11563710
If you're capable of modding them, you'll be fine, but they need modding to be worthwhile.

>>11563727
Actually thinking of buying two of each just for extra measure.

>>11563731
If you can afford it. I bought a second SHF Frieren just because I might wanna keep one unmodded. Can't do that with every figure, though.

Was bored so had the idea of attaching marvel legends wasp wings to figma terraformar. How do you think it looks? Im pretty happy with it. Maybe i should get some yellow wings though.

>>11563710
Honestly, the modded Figuarts Momo is pretty great articulation wise, but she’s a little bit big in scale. I was hoping Figma would be the same, as soft goods should allow them to hide some great articulation.

>>11564001
THEY FLY NOW

>>11564059
They always did.

>>11564056
What were they thinking?

>>11564056
Surely she has the boob and ab crunch under the shirt? This seems to indicate it.

Anybody know how bad it is? I’ve had one ‘dispatched’ from Osaka for a week longer than normal. I want my figmas reeeeee

>>11564342
Yes

>Miss Dread Samus the first time for no good reason
>aftermarket is double the price
>still waiting for a rerelease
>now it's tariff season

>>11565069
Like i told others before, it wasnt worth the high asking price during release and the bicep swivel will start drooping eventually due to it being held by pure friction. Some anons told me they had an issue with the cannon arms too once i told them about it.

>>11564916
oof

>>11565074
>pledge floor gloss is no longer an option
We live in the worst timeline

>>11565256
I don't think those work with proprietary joints. American toys joints have gaps big enough for liquid to seep through easily

>>11563710
Does this mean no good grandma figma?

>>11565306
It's a swivel, peg in a hole. The stuff will do wonders in this sort of case.

>GoodSmileUS is now the same price as their Japan store
Nice.

>>11565717
Might actually get Marin if shipping and tariffs aren't too bad

>>11563710
Did Okarun come out? I don't really understand your criticisms of it.

Picked up a cheap secondhand Vanilla because she had the bonus and god damn do people really let their expensive figures get dusty. Her hair is kind of scuffed, I’ve never tried to clean up bangs before but I may have to wrap some sandpaper around a toothpick and fix the little paint blob.

How is the normal darkness/dustiness figma? Im tempted to get her after watching redditsuba enough.
Pic related since i dont have a pic of the figure saved.

>>11566080
I think she's fine though probably the weakest of the four (idk about Yunyun). The skirt is on hinges so not exactly a traffic cone but it's still annoying when trying to articulate the legs. But I guess it can't be helped since that's just how her design is. Also for some reason her torso is very arched back even in neutral position as if they specifically sculpted it for the cabbage scene. But that's just a minor nitpick. If you really like the character or want to complete the party she's a must have

>>11566080
Wufei is easily the funniest character in Gundam.

>>11566086
>really like the character
That's really it since im not really a completionist for this series. As long as you said its fine I'll go for it, anything else I should know?
>>11566089
Alron is also my favorite gundam line in the series next to heavy arms.

>>11566095
I would be careful with the shoulder pads, the joint seems like it could break easily. But I really like both the anime and the figures they were my entry point into Figma/imports and I think they are still relatively cheap except for Megumin

If only goodsmile weren't so jewish as to not include a sitting down skirt for Mika

Hopefully they release more trinity blue archive girls, Mika is pretty fun

>>11566277
>mika losing to a heavy armored enemy

Btw the joints on my stryder have gotten way too loose, can barely pose em with it's guns. Oh well thats life, tight one day and loose the next.

>>11566280
>>stryder class titan
>heavy armor
Lmao the stryder class is light(ly) armor. iirc mika doesnt do too good against red armor enemies

>>11566290
mika erases anything out of existence with her ex skill regardless of type

>>11561533
Not without Nagisa.

Also, anyone expect Hoshino to have a DX Set with her Armed equipment and robbery mask?

>>11566277
Didn't they tease a Seia figma?

>>11566461
yes

>>11566468
Oh, cute. No idea about BA but do want, depending on how they do the sleeve arms.

>>11566484
Expect the Gura or even worse Miku treatment nowadays.

>>11566504
What the hell are those elbows

>>11566511
9800 yen worth of new elbow tech.
The joint regression to "save costs" is a lie.

>>11566515
That's crazy considering Miku is like their girl.

>>11566515
You don’t know how happy I was when I saw Racing Witch Migu was getting normal elbows.

>>11566524
Still cursed with the crunch though. Poor Not!Mona Miku.

>>11566527
It’s at least kind of hidden in her costume design. I really wish they’d stop upcharging and pouring money into new and worse innovations.
She’s gonna look so fucking good with Mona though. Her design also makes me wish that LWA had gotten some Figma. Can’t stop knoeing

>>11566504
I doubt it. It's a key trait that Seia uses her hands through her sleeves and you can rarely see them. So far the BA figmas have been able to perfectly recreate the character's sprite so I'm betting they'll put joints on the sleeve itself where the wrist is supposed to be.

12 billion yen Segway incident incoming

>>11566580
Paul blart figma never ever

Is it common for hands not to go all the way down the peg? My Takina's "covering" hand won't go all the way down and I'm worried about snapping something if I try to push it in too much.
Was thinking of "testing" pushing it in on one of my spare wrist joints though I don't know how I would get snapped plastic out.

>>11566031
I've looked at pics of it.

>>11566926
Looks like regular figma elbow joints? Shoulders look a bit rangeless but I think it looks fine.

>>11566926
Seems completely fine. Like you said, thin arms so the classic Figma joint is a logical solution.

desu why do people even want an Okarun fig such an ugly ass design

>>11566926
Figma really should learn to do double joints in everything already.

>>11567001
Small indie company please understand

>>11566919
They are the same character, in my heart.

>Delayed from September 2025 to October 2025:
- figma Shiroko Sunaookami (Cycling) DX Edition
- figma Shiroko Sunaookami (Cycling)

>>11567439
>racist shiroko got delayed
Its over

>>11567439
I honestly forgot she was going to be released this month. I still have her preordered but was more excited for Scarlet in October.

>>11567439
>>11567705
Think Okarun's also getting delayed?

>>11567717
probably, the only thing gsc doesnt delay now are nendos and pop up parades.

>>11565717
Why is Rikka more expensive than Marin if she is more popular?

>>11567940
Gee, I wonder

>>11567942
>preposed legs
fucking sick of this cop out shit

>>11567944
What would you have instead? Guarantee it would look way worse

>>11567944
if they re-engineered the legs to allow full range, it would be a whole year of WRIST TUMOR posting all over again

>>11567963
Wrist tumor posting?

>>11567942
>Rikka's thighs are so fat that they got imprinted in the swing seat
Damn.

>>11567951
Why don't you buy statues my friend?

>>11567951
Are her thighs that thick (prev winter uni ver) that they couldn't just do the sitting skirt piece like BA, GUP, etc. ?

>>11567944
Great thing, Aliexpress sells replacement thighs for figures of that type.

>>11567970
way back when figma switched the wrist articulation from hinged pegs to the balljoints they have now, there were anons who constantly bitched and moaned claiming the change ruined the figma aesthetic and calling them "wrist tumors" was the popular buzzword

>>11559343 (OP)
>Figma
more like Pigma

>>11567999
man you pulling out years old grudges

this is Snake, retards, do you read me?

>>11567999
I'm more annoyed that swapping hands has become a major pain with proper wrist joints. It always get stuck.

>>11568005
i've been here way too long man

>>11567999
ah the good ol days

>>11568140
Remember when many tourists started breaking their Skyward Sword Link's sword pommel? Good times.

>>11568013
hi Snake, big fan. I hope your new Figma is good!!

>>11568191
Don't worry kid, infinite ammo

I just got this, my first Figma.
What should I expect?

>>11565717
Nope. Not as horrible as when they were trying to include tariff prices into the item prices but otherwise they've always been slightly higher than global shop, which balanced out because local shipping is cheaper. But they removed the 50% off shipping discount for preorders now so idk, global shop would be cheaper overall if carriers will figure out how to honor just 15% tariffs and add no other fees.

>>11568217
Expect a basic action figure. Keep her clothes off when possible; dyed clothes always stain figures.

>>11568224
>Keep her clothes off when possible
lewd
>dyed clothes always stain figures
Oh that sucks.

I was going to do that anyway, I'm building a volleyball team slowly and was going to dress her in this.

>>11568145
