My collection.
I don't really like cutesy girls or girls giving the viewer a "come-on" so all mine are in action mode, ie they're doing their own thing. L to R. Rin Tohsaka from Fate / Stay Night. One of my favourite female anime characters. Sadly, I have yet to see a figurine (and there's been many produced) that shows one of her memorable sardonic expressions. This is one of the better ones around otherwise. Rider from the same show. Short-lived character in the series but that hair is uber-spectacular! Mireille Bouquet from Noir. Discontinued figurine that I imported from a garage factory in Thailand that uses the old, original moulds. She's resin, not PVC, and I had to assemble and paint her. Despite the crappy quality of the manufacture and my indifferent painting ability she has come up well. She's also been smashed once (see the tragedies thread). I treasure this figurine - my favourite character and my favourite anime TV series. Sabre Lily from Fate / Unlimited Codes. This photo doesn't do her justice. This is one extraordinarily beautiful figurine. It would want to be - she cost in the hundreds of Australian dollars. Worth every cent, though. (And no, I think Fate / Stay Night is a pretty mediocre series. Great character designs, however.) Yami the Golden Darkness from (blush) To Love-Ru. The hair and the pose! I clean them with a small paintbrush, dampened if necessary. That way I can clean all the delicate parts safely. Last edited by Errinundra on Mon Nov 06, 2017 11:20 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Link The quality isn't brilliant and you need superglue to assemble it. It's made out of resin, not plastic. There is no base and you have to organise your own eyes (I printed out an image of Mireille's eyes in colour in the appropriate size and glued them on.) |

I'm new to the figure collecting scene so I only have a few. It certainly isn't a good hobby to have when shelf space is as limited as mine, but it is so addicting. One item I'm looking forward to is the Black Rock Shooter staue from Good Smile company coming out in a couple months. I wish I knew how to link pictures to my posts, because it is gorgeous.

That above figure is one of my personal favorites I own along with my Revy one. The detail work on that BRS figure is really really something. Even a nice picture like that doesn't do it justice, trust me. The only complaint I have is the gun does not fit into her hand anywhere. As in with some sort of peg or what not. It's completely free standing so you have to position it, and the chain, just right to get it to stay. Still totally worth it though.
And thanks for the link errinundra. I build some resin kits so I have proper model glue for it so no problem there. The eye thing however does concern me. I suck at that lol. |

Someone mentioned keeping your figures in glass cases; does anyone know of a good place to buy them? My fiance is just starting his figure collection and he's obsessive-compulsive about dust, so he really needs one.

Upon seeing this, my mind goes, "I must have this!" It is a great figure of one of my favorite girls, Alicia Melchiott, from one of my favorite games of this generation, Valkyria Chronicles. Of course, Japan has first dibs on it this December. I hope that it will find its way across the Pacific Ocean shortly after its release. It also comes with Hans, the honorary member of Squad 7. What more could you want (aside from the Alicia figure itself)?
When buying figures, do any of you pay attention to the company that makes it? The good companies that I know of at the moment are Kotobukiya and Good Smile Company. |

I just spotted some (really quite basic) figures for around 200 yen. Yeah, I know, it's not the real figurine I should have, but a full-scale one would be too cumbersome. Does anyone know if the quality one there is... bearable? I mean, it looks ok, but since it's in a plastic bag in several pieces (yes, it's that low-level), I kind of think that it might not be the best choice... this is Japan though, they should have at least some degree of quality.
I'm having real trouble finding small figurines. Maybe they're all on order on online sites? There are some really good ones for Eva (only around 800 yen - for that price they're great), and One Piece, but I'm not really interested. |

In terms of favorite figure companies, I think Megahouse is excellent.

[quote="poonk"]
If by "trading figures" you mean those blind boxes where you don't know what you're going to get - no. These are sold in Akihabara in a small plastic bag - several parts that just fit together, about 7 cm tall. Granted, it's not the best model ever, but I've found myself an excellent Haruhi (for the price, it's got a cute face that I think is better than a lot of the bigger models, and even got some nice details on that E8-issue bikini). I'm not even sure if this is the kind of figure series that gets its own page on any maker's website or anything, but it does say "Bandai HGIF" on the label. |

P.S. Is this the Haruhi trading figure you're eyeing? |
