read the guideBuyfags.moealso no edition
Got my first straight tariff bill instead of prepaying with shipping. The order was ~$120. Thank you orange nigger
Out of all my dakis why is my one bootleg the one that feels the highest quality?
>>284621553SHUT THE FUCK UP
>>284621645I bet the last one got deleted because of the stupid edition thing. Thread "editions" are considered generals so they don't belong on /a/, also jannies have been scouring buyfag threads lately because of the schizos so they aren't letting anything slip up.
Textbook example of knowing your target audience
Post recent purchases or wins.
>>284621529why did janny nuke the other general? :(anyway thats hawt :3b what anime is she from?
>>284621758see >>284621677
>>284621758Because years ago the mods decides to ban generals on /a/ so now generals have to pretend like they're not actually generals.
>>284621645https://youtu.be/kdQcTQw-0eM?t=100
>>284621800To be honest I appreciate that at least we don't have the lifeless bloated OP posts the other boards have, including schizos fighting over what to put into OP or wanting to be the "baker".
>>284621758Original Character. Also, I can't find her on any site except Amiami and a couple of reseller stores. Hope she bins but I doubt it.
>>284621622Because they didn't have to pay licensing fees to the IP holder. For really basic non-figure stuff sometimes the bootlegs actually use nicer materials.
>>284621838Some generals have nice OPs. Also the guide is literally this thread's mandatory OP and it's bigger than any general's could be.
>>284621743Animate just took payment for her.
>>284621687Nah. Her breasts are way too big these days
>>284622008Now imagine the guide was dumped in the OP text field, and every thread someone would complain about the OP using the wrong text or something.
>>284621743How much
>>284622008the guide shouldn't be posted on the OP retard, it also gets the thread deleted.
>>284622084It's been 5 years. She has grown.I know it's because the jew fears the 2D loli, I'm just being facetious.
>>284617048I saw your post on /jp/, nice.
>>284622126>it's totally not in the OP just because it's always the second postIt's all bullshit semantics and you know it.>>284622106I don't need to imagine because I am on other boards too, and like I said it has its charm. One of my regularly frequented threads has a joking ITT: recap of the previous thread as part of the OP and it's always fun to read through. Also>imagine someone always complainingIf I didn't find people arguing over meaningless shit to be entertaining I would not be on this website.
Christmas came early.
>>284622350>It's all bullshit semantics and you know it.Tell that to the jannies, they've been very strict lately and the schizos aren't helping it. Can't even post child figures in underwear lately.
>>284622373All prize figures!, shame.
seems ami has increased the december 31st deadline to january 31st
>>284622384>Tell that to the janniesI would rather not speak with them. But you know it, I know it, and they also know it, and we all just go along with this farcical rules lawyering because at the end of the day that's part of what the board is and what you sign up for when you stay here. Also I think the recent moderation crackdown was a result of /dbs/ getting so fucking bad (and leaking to other boards so much) they had to step in (I wonder if the last round of janny hiring got more people patrolling here), but don't quote me on that. God willing they will start firebombing /pc/ and Madoka threads into an acceptable state too.
>>284622544I rarely visit other threads on /a/ besides buyfag and a few pinned keywords so I'm not sure on the state of the board but yeah, buyfag has also been bad lately with all that schizo spamming and getting slightly NSFW figures getting deleted constantly when it used to be "fine".
I bought too many figgies for christmas and now I have no room to put anything.
would you date a clock
>>284622651I don't visit that many threads but all the ones I'm on consistently are nice, and all the random ones I happen to open are too; it's really just a couple that happen to be infested with the most mentally ill people you've ever met.
>>284622489figure of the year?
>>2846224895 days to go
>>284622756>that ass peek when she[he]'s wearing the shirt
>>284622756Does it count as the 2025 FOTY if now one is going to get it in 2025?
>>284622489why isn't she peeing herself here?
>>2846221092300 yen. Was surprised at that. Shipping is going to cost more lol
Since the last thread got deleted before I could really get a good discussion going I’ll just ask again:Can any anons here give me the whole QRD on the whole “cutecore” thing going on at tiktok? Why are teenage girls and early 20 something women suddenly collecting all manner of loli waifu gooner figures? And how did it become so widespread as to severely impact the secondhand market? (“cutecore tax” I think they call it).
>>284622919>Hello I am baka aho, can someone explain trends and fads to me?No!
>>284622919Huh? Finally a good tiktok trend?
>>284622756>swirly eyesholy sex
>>284622915I'm sure there's generic pee accessories available. It's canon so it wouldn't look out of place if you added them.
need school uniform asuka NOW
>>284622982i can't afford that since the BAD ORANGE MAN don't want me to have my figgies. i guess i'll just pee on it myself.
>>284623062This is the sort of home-grown innovation the tariffs were designed to encourage!
I am the figi-oh
Omegastar making a bunch of new merchandise for their anniversary, but all new art of Kirie gives her large breasts now. WTF bros.
>>284623053>prizesad
>>284622939>Hello I am baka aho, can someone explain trends and fads to me?But why did loli waifu figs - something we all know femmoids hate and seethe at with a burning passion - become trending with THAT crowd?
>>284623354Cool but the sand on chomps head ruins it
>>284623441It's cute and all the best loli manga is written by women
Big migus
>>284623466First and last Kickstarter i backed
>>284623441No one loves loli more than mentally ill traumatised young women who identify with the lolis.
figi
>>284623937Based
>>284623966Iya, jeki da
>>284623937Traumatized by what?
>>284624438Rejection
There was one available. Always be buying.
>>284624438One in three children (of all genders) are sexually assaulted. So I would presume this and loli enjoyers are implied to be somewhat related
>>284624438Sexual abuse/grooming/family trauma etc. Of the ones I've met one was diddled by her uncle as a kid and one got involved with the feds at 13 because a guy was cheating on his wife with her online and getting her to dom him.
Not-ahoy will be out for POs soon
>>284625331
>>284625331really tempting
Is the reticence to give you clear shipping prices until you're deep into a purchase (if at all) actively malicious or just a consequence of the nature of proxying?
>>284625331me on the barrel
So you like figures, huh? Well have all the figures in the world!
>>284625230Miku if she was American
>>284625395>or just a consequence of the nature of proxying?Pretty much. I don't know how it works but I imagine manufacturers give a rough estimate for the box size/weight to stores so places like AmiAmi can give a shipping warning beforehand, but proxies are mostly buying from second hand market places.You can usually figure out a rough estimate with a shipping calculator, but some places have absolutely retarded packaging.
>>284625331Awesome, it will be my xmas gift.
>>284623663I almost backed it, too. fuck those guys
Not sure how I feel about this even though I love Anastasia. The normal face seems a little off and I don't know if I want to pay even more for the admittedly pretty cute pouty one. At that price point it would be my most expensive Fate figure and I probably still wouldn't like it as much as my Nero or Medusa ones that were way cheaper than 30000 yen.
What's with Uma GKs not selling?
Is BiJ the only proxy left that's willing to undervalue? I wish most of them weren't so autistic against shipping to forwarder addresses.
>>284625692Aren't they oversaturated as fuck? There can only be so much interest in paint whores.
>>284625692>1.3M viewsGuess he will be getting some sale? Uma recent popularity is due to fans that are mostly retarded tourist so I doubt they even see japanese tweets or buy merch
>>284622919Teenage girls are pretty based nowadays
>>284622919>>284623441I can answer this as a buyfag femanon who lurks these threads, but basically I collect cutecore loli and other NSFW figures primarily as a form of age play in order to attract men, that’s about it really.See I’m an ugly femcel (misaligned crooked teeth fucked up my facial assymtery, especially when I smile. Never got braces to fix it as a kid because I was and still am a big baby with a low pain tolerance), so in order to compensate for my ugliness I have to up my Sexual Market Value through other means, one of those is signaling to men that I’m a kinky freak who’s up for anything and will do whatever appeals to their tastes, the whole Epstein case really opened my eyes even further that men like younger women first and foremost, so I try to act as young as possible and have my aesthetic to match. So for me, the loli and gooning figures are purely a fashion accessory and also sometimes toy I play with as a form of foreplay whenever I’m on a date with a guy, I don’t use them for any other reason and I don’t even post on TikTok showing off my collection like the other cutecore girlies because I prefer to keep that shit private only for men who I find attractive and am trying to attract, so maybe I’ll have my collection up on a fetish dating site or when I’m out and about with them adorning my itabag in the hopes that I’ll finally meet someone, but I don’t really give a fuck about the figures otherwise and have no other use for them besides just aesthetic/fashion accessory/ageplay foreplay toy.I wouldn’t have to resort to such methods if I was a hot girl with actual good social skills instead of an ugly femcel stuttering autist.The things I actually buyfag for myself for my own enjoyment rather than just as a tool to attract men aren’t figures but rather BL doujins of my favorite ships.
>>284625692Uma popularity boom in the west is unlikely to translate to those fans then getting things from Japan given how relatively niche doing so is (and, let's be frank, how retarded JP markets are about actively opposing foreign sales at every turn).
>>284626221post your figis babe
>>284626221I would love to get in a short lived highly sexual relationship with you that inevitably crashes and burns after a few months. Also as someone who had braces for years they aren't painful at all.
>>284626221This has to be bait
>>284626221lol
>>284626389I'm willing to trust it on the grounds that women really are that deranged. That said, I also have to uphold site traditions.>>284626221Post tits.
>>284626221>self called femcel multiple times>actively looking for a guy
>>284626389It is. I'm sure it's from that same guy who larps as fucking his sister
one does not simply reply to attention whore
>>284626528Yeah that's the key issue with that post, everything else is normal
Just report
>>284622373Anon must be really good at crane games.
>>284626221>t. ManWomen don't say shit like this
>>284625692Most of Umafans in the west are gacha casuals, at most they buy scales or a S.H.F, a GK requires a whole different skillset that most people aren't willing to put time and effort into learning.
>>284623492You can tell it's not the real Rikka because she's not wearing gothic lacy black panties.
>>284626757strap on and I will buy
erabe
>>284622919Because they're cute and hot, Nekopara is super popular with women, even those that are supposed to hate loli stuff.
>>284626785To be fair that's a pre-painted GK that was sold. But I guess nip fans aren't numerous or generous enough to buy it either.
>>284625230An artist i follow on Instagram just finished painting this one...
>>284626875Saika when?
>>284626893>pre-paintedSounds very expensive then, at that price range you can buy a scale then.
>>284626879reminds me of that w*man that was very into nekopara but when she learned that it's a "gooner" game she burnt her collection.
>>284626528>>284626576>implying incel/femceldom is voluntary and self-chosen.You’re thinking of MGTOWS, incels & femcels can absolutely be actively looking but still remain cells if they keep getting rejected and never manage to find a partner.
>>284625432>drowns in Sonicos and Migus
>>284626221Post bloody figures
>>284627043that's how i want to go
>>284626290>that inevitably crashes and burnsFemanon femcel here again, why would assume our relationship would automatically crash and burn?
>>284626950Maybe I'm dumb but I can't even view the actual sales page for it.It's cheaper than what commissioning someone to paint a GK would be but it's still steep when the average gachafag would rather whale on jpgs or plushies.
I've pressed it
>>284627068Do they "hotblood" their figures?
>>284626992Oh I remember that stupid hoe, I dunno how some girls can be like that but if they resale their merch for low prices then everyone wins, just a few days ago my wife bought a Chocola PUP from one of those dummies, the box looks like shit so I managed to get it for even cheaper.
>>284627144I was waiting for you, bro
>>284621687those are adult proportions so no they dont know anything
>>284627151Stopped eating and threw away my food because of this post.
>>284627151they hotgrool their figures
>>284622671Cute Clock
>>284626528Anon, what the fuck do you think the 'involuntary' part of incel means?
>>284627112Because that's how all my relationships with mentally ill women go. And because I would try to push my fetishes on you.
>>284621743
what happened to these
