You must be the kind of retard who thinks chinese bootlegs are "gks"
>>
>>284204920
You dont need a full frame camera for decent figure pictures, you have full control of lighting, the subject is still and the DOF should hardly be an issue since you are shooting close.
>>
>>284204970
Thank you, I appreciate the advice. I'll get that and focus on a decent macro lens or something.
>>
>>284204912
We know the samefagging but you don't have to reply
>>
>>284205001
I dont think that camera n particular is a great investment but if you have decided on it go for it. Also you dont really need a macro lens, try learning with that lens, get some extension tubes if you want some macro capabilities and learn to use it. that would only be a few extra bucks on whatever lens kit you pick.

I'll ask again.
Is there anyone familiar with putty? What is the best one to use when trying to reshape a small piece off a plastic gashapon figure? I preferably need it to air-dry rather than uv cure. The piece is white/light gray so it's not too big of a deal
>>
>>284204920
No it doesn't actually matter that much for what you're using it for. Here's what you should be getting: a macro lens and a good light. You could do without a macro but why make your life harder, just go straight for it. And the light can be any kind of light, a flash, a ring light, leds for product photography, or even the sun. That's all you need.
>>
Before you buy a figure, you must also think about the children.

Posted a few days ago about my new Bache figure coming in with a broken hand, and I contacted both AmiAmi and Goodmsile about it. Amiami basically told me just to "send it back, we'll refund you," but Goodsmile told me "It'll take a while but we'll send you a new hand free of charge" despite me never even buying from them directly.

Just wanted to say thanks to the anons telling me to contact manufacturer/Goodsmile, worked out pretty good.

I was lucky and noticed the sets going for 2k¥ total on Yahoo Auctions and took my chances. Bid went up to 10k by the end but it's still cheaper than what other sites are asking for ONE set usually. Let alone two.

>>284207116
Oh yeah and the specific auto table they use in Saki is the Amos Ultima. They don't make it anymore so you'd need to do some kind of finagling to get one shipped overseas but if you really want to go for the Saki aesthetic you'll want an orange Amos Ultima.

full frame isn't important, it's just that most lenses in the film era is built for full frame 35mm, meaning that you have a whole selection of cheap vintage lenses, and better upgrade paths if you get full frame. Picrel is taken with APS-C sensor on my leica. yes, I know I need to dust it.

I got way too much stuff from the sale because I've always wanted to expand my figure collection and didn't think it was realistic to drop $50 for single nendoroids or $200 or more for a single scale figure. I basically got anything I could and it feels like winning a lottery and upgrading to a high end figure collection overnight. Still, somehow it feels like it wasn't enough because I missed out a few of the figures I was hoping to get the most, and I think I may end up going down a rabbit hole of figure collecting because gsc just gave me the first hit for free.

How frequently were you guys refreshing? The nendos hung around for a while, but I barely ever even saw a scale in stock.
>>
>>284213220
If you're buying dead trees it has to be the ones from japan. They use better paper, better binding, and even the 600 yen copies feel like collectors editions because the dust jacket, obi, and 2nd secret cover all feel premium. There's no comparison and the all too common localization issues are just the cherry on top of the shitty value.
>>
>>284213331
It was brutal having figures that would have become my most prized possession slip from my grasp over and over again. For 1/7 scales even when I was slamming the refresh every second I still had about 9 out of 10 restocks either sell out before I could click the button, or go out of stock while the checkout screen loaded. For 1/4 scales it was a bloodbath and they all went up in smoke the moment they show for me. Talking sub 10 seconds of stock so if you didn't get it into the cart and click checkout in the literal first instant it went up then you had next to no chance because the cart takes 10 seconds to load in on its own.
>>
>>284213039
Just a few nendos. I'm still refreshing hoping there's something new.

I didn't have to. I was here during the first drop. The next day I just opened the page and saw some more things I wanted. I only refreshed last night and today and it never updated. Don't listen to the fags in the last thread.
>>
>>284213546
With the way book prices are in the US/abroad sometimes learning nip is about cost. However if you feel learning Japanese to read comics is 'just to feel superior ' there's no hope for you. It really isn't superiority it's feeling that you're annoyed all the good shit you want to read isn't translated
>>
>>284213597
It is weird how localized copies cost $15 and are the absolute cheapest mass market square cut paperback with no frills, meanwhile japan prints even the cheap 600 yen books (~$4.00) with the same level of quality that I've seen $30 book gets in the US. It's strange how divergent the practices are for an old and established technology.

>>
>>284213648
You would think they use the same printers just a different text and send them off to the US for the same price but apparently it's more cost effective to get them from China in the US business man's head. The only nice one I have was innocent that I bought just to support the author since it was their first series officially translated. The paper and print quality is nice but the fucking 30$ book is printed on the thinnest paper ever. I don't read it because it should have been hard cover for one, but because I feel like I'm going to ruin or rip it accidentally

a kind anon here posted a 1/4 that sold out for 90% on the first day the sale dropped
so this retard saw the post and immediately took the chance to buy up everything
>>
>>284213670
I made that excel of shame a few days ago to figure out how much I had left to spend during black friday. Total outcome was an eye watering 14 scales, 10 prize, 24 nendo, 8 pops, ending up with over $1000 and half of it was probably just for shipping. I didn't finish updating the excel yet to see how badly that shipping screwed me but I know it was the worst part of it by far. The average price is below $20 per figure and that is unquestionably worth it. I spent most of the night giddy at the thought of the 1/7 scales going up on display considering I only have normal figures like nendos and pops on display. It is going to be a shock seeing the difference in quality firsthand. Also all of this is either staying in my collection or being gifted to friends, I don't give care much about my budget as you may be able to tell.

If my ECMS package is going to be handed off to the USPS for it's final delivery, will it go through US customs or ECMS customs?
>>
>>284213822
Circle jerking but as someone who reads in nip I do think it's better then translation. I've returned several books when I compared them to the Japanese ebook for how ridiculous they made some characters lines, bad translation, and awful proofreading checks. There are advantages and disadvantages. Even ignoring the translation part, the fact some things made it through proofreading and editors just shows you how shoddy management is for those companies. 'your' instead of you're, awful phrasing, unnatural sentences etc. bad translations aside how do you fuck up your native language and who allows those to go in to print?

Not all companies and teams has this happening but it's much more common in recent years for a simple spell/grammar check to be missing.

So for a lot of people it's a mixture of frustration especially when you have something like MTL in your pocket at all times that you can just snap a picture of a Japanese book and read it automatically within less than 30 seconds.
Additionally that still doesn't really solve the problem of everything good and not being translated only a fraction of things ends up overseas whether that's scanned or officially translated in a physical release.
Like for example I don't really see these problems as much with dark horse or with seven seas in the titles that I have read and still do read even despite putting in the effort to learn japanese. Whereas someone like vertical I refuse to buy or read anything from vertical their fucking translations piss me off.

Because most English translations/localizations these days are dogshit and you're better off grabbing an LLM and using it to translate from Japanese to English yourself.
Just knowing how some of my favorite manga,games,LNs and etc have had their dialogues butchered or the completely changed in order to be more "marketable" has made me stop reading or playing most things translated officially to English.
I still haven't forgotten what Compile heart did to that one PSV game over a decade ago.

>>284214443
Fully agree. You don't even need to be fluent. Upper beginner and lower intermediate will be just fine for reading most manga (shounen, shoujo, sol). Your level will go up as you read more but if you want fast gains it only take 3 months intense studying (2 lessons a week) and 6 months casual (one lesson a week) depending on book using. And some flash card usage how you see fit.

People think you need to be 100% fluent before you even read one manga but that's not really true. Furigana will carry you hard and most popular series have it.

I haven't cracked the code on enjoying the story in the same way that I would in english because the active translation from reading complex sentences or too much kanji does something to my passive reading experience. Hoping that will change one day so I can truly enjoy my growing collection of doujinshi.

Sometimes when you're learning, unless it's a repetitive word you need to know like powers, it's okay to just get the gist and move on especially for enjoyment. If it appears enough it something doesn't quite feel right then you go back and reread more carefully. You can also use the see through plastic study notes to make a translation once and just reread it after that
