I'm not sure if talking about Kickstarters is allowed...I don't *see* anything in the rules about it. But I could have missed it. If so, just delete this thread and move on. Has anyone else seen this *magnificent spectacle*...

So, shortly after I decided I wanted a figure with a big-ass shield, along comes the announcement for this fellow: This is pretty much just what I wanted in regards to a figure with a tower shield. Unfortunately he's kind of expensive and I have a love/hate relationship with the Monster...

I have discovered that I am *craving* a figure boasting a powerful-looking tower shield. The kind that you can brace on the floor and have the figure stand behind to look imposing and buff. Problem is...I cannot think of any. Does anyone here own a figure of that vague description, or know of...

Ya know what? I actually find myself desiring to own a poseable Thinker. http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/4685/figma+The+Thinker.html Not sure why I would want him, or what I would do with him, but I am somehow very amused.

Has anyone pre-ordered from YESASIA.com before? Kachidoki arms is on Order Stop literally everywhere but there and I really want him (and don't want to resort to a sketchy eBay pre-order). Can anyone vouch for their reliability? It has free-shipping, and is only $2 more expensive than the...

Shadowmoon deserves a Skull Throne. So I put him in one. http://glamador.deviantart.com/art/S-H-Figuarts-Shadowmoon-On-The-Throne-462562404

I can't put my finger on why...but this does NOT look like the show to me. Her head and face look slightly too big, and her breasts are...very strange looking. I do not like. ....now if they came out with Mankanshoku Mako in HER uniform, then I'd be *all over it*.

What is a decent price for MaxFactory Karas? I've seen eBay auctions for anywhere from $560 to $1200, usually somewhere in the middle. But those sound a lot like they've been gouged to Mt. Fuji heights. What's an *actual* reasonable price for that figure? Is $180 average for what one might...

Well, my Wing Form and Maziora Hibiki are all unboxed and beautiful. Hibiki bears some of the same shortcomings as Ibuki, especially in the shoulder pads. But his weapons aren't nearly as heavy towards the ends (the die-cast being in the grips) and his leg doesn't pop off randomly like...

FIRST A DISCLAIMER: I am fully aware of how terrible these pictures are. It's late, they're all over the floor, I'm not getting out my nice camera. If you have more than a passing interest in one of these items, I am more than happy to take some proper product photos w/ good lighting. Just...

I fear we're in danger of turning this thread into a debate on Gunslinger Girls instead of Gaim. So I'll just say one last brief thing. My perspective comes solely from the anime adaptation. I do not read manga, and as such have not read Gunslinger Girl. Judging from those pages, either I am...

Or we could just look at the SIC designs for the Showa era riders. That Stronger looks less like he's wearing football pads and more like chitinous armour. Which is pretty bad ass.

I saw a TDKR returns from the Arkham City line (think it was PlayArts Kai) at a mini-show last weekend. I was hoping it was the normal PlayArts Kai one, but alas not. I'm not really fond of the TDKR design, but having read the books and seen the films I can definitely see that his head is too...

Just what the title says. If OOO were dubbed or redone in English, what would the form titles and jingles sound like? Obviously they wouldn't have the same cadence. So I'd like to see what we can come up with. TaToBa = Taka Tora Batta = Hawk Tiger Grasshopper So English would be...HaTiGra...

Yes. Those are exactly the ones I mean. Troll more. They're made of a thicker material with layered segments more like armor. You'll notice a lot of these same elements, like the ridges around the major joints that help to hide the crumpling during movement, in KR Double's suit as well...
