This thread is for anything and everything related to figures.
Show off what you have to the masses! ^_^

Need a certain figure.?
Ask here where to find it and how to possibly score a good deal.

Here's my first pic of the guardians of my PC. :Ewink: (I'll upload more later.)

Many you'll recognize as the small gashapon type figures included in the special editions of G.I.T.S. The other small ones are all from InuYasha. Saber, from Fate/stay night (my present pride and joy), stands in the middle back. Asuka, Gothic Lolita version, is to Saber's right, and Aya Natsume from Tenjho Tenge is to her left. I got both Asuka and Aya dirt cheap from a con last year in Toronto..... good times. ^^

That is so awesome HA1L. Nearly brings a tear to my eye. :Ewink:
Old skool Megatron and Optimus Prime.... Nothing touches that.

@e-e: Thanks for putting your EVA-02 back up again. I didn't get a good look at it the first time. ^^; Very impressive!

That is the Harem as it stands at the moment, however there are a few more in the mail.

I also put up the details of the figs that I'm building in the WinD forums: http://www.windfs.com/forums/index.php?showforum=23

I'm working on Tatiana from Last Exile ATM.

As for palces to buy things:
PVC/Completed Kits:
http://www.hlj.com/ -> Hobby Link Japan. One of the widest ranges out there, and based in Japan too. They aslo do clothing and the like.
http://www.tmpanime.com/ -> Twin Moons Anime. Based in the US, but if you're not in Japan or teh UK, they are one of the best rpiced joints.
http://tokyotoys.com/ -> UK based, so good for anyone who gets cheap postage form the UK iI guess. Prices are slithgly high than buying fomr the US/Japan, but that's part of teh fun I guess.

Resin kits:
http://www.e2046.com/ -> awesome site, has resin ktis of practically every series, and a painting service if you're not confident in your skills (I also paint for commission, and could end up being cheaper).

Anyway, here's to anothe figres thread

my Haruhi resin Bunny girl has arrived, now begins the hard task of learning airbrushing and everything else to make this thing look awesome:

FUnny you shoudl mention that
I'm doing exactly that at the moment...

http://www.windfs.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=122 <- that's a step- by-step build
It might help you out. Maybe it will make me look liek a noob... one of the two...

^Nice, cpl_crud.

Lots of intricate work involved when building one of those. O_O I would like to give it a go sometime myself.

I've always wondered how the fishnet stockings worked on Haruhi and now I know.
Didn't look too easy to make them.

Those are good photos of the raw pieces, e-e.

very nice. I thought I would buy a resin model but after seeing that (and remembering how much I suck at painting) I think I'd give this a skip and stick to normal figurines. I also saw they did an Excel resin model a while ago

E-E · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2007, 02:41:56 PM »

i dug up a smart way to do the stockings:
