Ha thanks guys : p

I'm having some trouble getting one of my parcels for the first time too funnily enough, customs is holding it they got the tax they're trying to get me to pay wrong.

I think I'll need to send it back to Japan to send to me again, major nuisance but I hope it works out okay lol

It's always been one of my biggest fears that something like that would happen to me. I hope everything works out for you. =)

Ah I think it's okay, I just told them to send it back to Japan and I think they're going to send it back to me for free.

What's this? A post from Randamo? Aha, I've been busy these days.

Anyway, I came to give all you excel saga fans a link to an original Excel and Menci Kit [Hyatt not included. Damn, I would buy it if she were].

I'm not interested because she's anime style. But if any of you have the spare funds, you can buy it and commission someone or build her yourself.

Ah that's cool, I'd be tempted to get here but I can't do garage kits.

That's not much of an issue if you don't mind paying someone else to build it for you. That kind of kit would cost about $200+ if you pay someone with talent or skill.

Of course... I have neither. Sigh.

Anyway, just an option.

Ah yes, I remember coming across some nice photos of this several years ago. We may've even had the pics linked here at some point. Considering the price, very disappointing that Hyatt isn't included. But is Hyatt still available?

I dunno... I'm seeing lots of potential with this. The photo shows their coloring in the simple anime style, but I would go the extra mile and do some shading/color variants where needed to make it all more of a manga style. And Hyatt's hair would most definitely be painted brown (I don't like the blue color anime variant at all).

If I was actually into painting stuff, I'd definitely go closer to a manga-style color scheme as well, brown haired Hyatt definitely beats blue hair...

If you tried, I bet you'd be pretty good at this. As indicated in your art work, you have a good eye for detail.

Saber:

Ah, Saber, you tempt me once again. :il_hahaha: Gotta like that dynamic pose, though.
I saw this re-release go up on Amiami about two days ago (I check there more often than I should :icon_rolleyes:) and I'm wrestling with myself if I really want this or not. I have four Sabers already - the first run of the cLays release (one of the first few figures I ever bought of anything), the zombie-like Saber Alter by Movic (Those eyes!), a casual clothes Figma (minus the winter campaign stuff), and a small gashapon of Saber released by Alter a while back. I guess if I really want it I'd best get my pre-order taken care of now. It's not going to last.

I remember you said you wanted it that's why I posted it.

You might as well ; )

If you can afford it just do it.

I was more interested in the Saber Lily. But I DO like this one as well.
