I couldn't believe the suku and fumo threads both got archived at the same time, it was devastating
Fumo
Not a fumo but it's kind of insane the price some people are willing to pay for their favorite 2hu. I sorta wish I had a character that I liked this much
>>51038689but she's so cute..... worth an arm and a leg
was there ever an eta on when dixie reimu is coming back or did i miss out? wish i got her when i had the chance
>>51039130Reimu being a human racist never made any sense to me, cunt to everyone sure but that's to everyone
The sexual tension between me and my Hecatia fumo just keeps growing and growing; one day I will not hold back and then...
Which fumo has the biggest hat?
>>51039130I always thought Yukari would make for a good southern belle.
>>51039914secondaries gonna secondary
>>51039914I'm pretty sure the thing was made in response to the black Cirno meme and this image in particular.
>>51043918What? Ewww. That makes no sense. Pick Yuugi or Suika. Yukari is built to be an upper class european with a vague but high class sounding accent.
Are other us anons worried about proxying items amiami doesn't sell?
>>51043651Marisa, Tenshi or Koishi
>>51044249>Yuugi or SuikaWoah now, I mean an antebellum southern belle not a modern day hillbilly.
>>51038636What an auspicious title! I came here to ask if I should bring Rumia or Marisa for a road trip to Delaware, Virginia, and West Virginia
>>51038689I suppose one of the perks of being a Yuugifag is a certain comfort in knowing that I will never have to contemplate spending hundreds on a single piece of merch, because she doesn't really get merch more intricate than a key chain.
>>51045153Both would work, both are blonde Southern belles who wouldn't look out of place in Virginia or Western Virginia.
>>51045005Did something change to make proxy buying more difficult/expensive? I've used a few different services over the years and they've always been straightforward as long as you pick a reputable one, my biggest gripe is how expensive shipping is ever since SAL died.
>>51045290NTA but I saw some buzz on Xitter about some Americans having their merchandise from abroad destroyed by customs.Not sure if it only applies to proxies or if all imported merch is affected.https://x.com/i/trending/2067062286322180493
>>51038636Here's an old fumo pic I took last year. Ran loves Cape Town.
>>51045153why on earth are you going to delaware
>>51047983Flip phones truly peaked with the Razer. I used mine all the way up until 2015.
>>51045382They are destroying anything that could possibly be marketed to children that doesn't include proper codes and documentation in the shipping manifest. Obviously amateur sellers and proxies aren't going to have that info on hand.
>>51046561Thank you for taking your Fumos on trips.Ran looks great here
I took a most fruitful trip to Japan last month.
>>51048067I'm wondering how bad this is going to get, because the JP games and merch I import are always labeled as "toy" on the slip. I've already been slowing down on buying anything physical because of tariffs, and now there's this.
>>51048249Getting Fumos in Japan feels amazing
>>51048393For real, especially when it's of a character you like.
>>51048393>>51048521I misread a little but yes, there is a certain feeling in knowing that you didn't have to pay an inflated price and deal with international shipping to get something that you wanted. Safe with me from point A to B without worrying about become a victim of customs.
>>51048532Even if they are a little bit inflated, you don't have to worry about customs, tariffs, or waiting 6 months to pay so you can wait a month or two for them to arrive. You buy her and she is yours immediately
>>51048660Did YOU get any of the ones pictured there?
New batch just dropped for preorders on ami
Man I've been looking for a Suwacky fumo for ages and gooy hyped when the 17cm version was announced, but upon close inspection I am a little put offf by Pyonta-kun's flat eyes unlike its 20cm version's puffy eyes :/

Got to see boa play live and bought a hat, but it's too big for Lain. I probably could've brought her to the concert since everyone was waiting for them to play Duvet anyway.
>>51051607TWO Chen?
>>51051651V1 (left) and V1.5 (right). I also have the smol bkub Chen/Tewi/Nazrin softs hiding somewhere.
>>51051651CHEEEEEEEEEN
>>51049540It's okay, you can still pay 150 bucks plus shipping if you REALLY want her.
Touhoufest was quite exciting
>>51058894Any cool or cute photos of fumos in the wild?
I am impatiently waiting for my AmiAmi invoice so that my Megumu and Koakuma can finally come home.
>>51049205Is the hat on the one on the right on backwards?
Guys? Your fumo's pilgrimage?
Cirno and her steed.
Flan and her steed.
>>51060946the strongest cavalry
>>51060975you meant "the strngest calvary" I believe
>>51061337fuck I can't believe it ate my unicode 9-ball...
>>51060946Cirno is so brave
To those who celebrate it - happy Midsummer!
>>51062289I'll take this post to toNight's Dream.
This new Mario Kart update looks fun
Besides the monster hunter plush I got a few of those fumo stand things and they're pretty neat. The plastic legs work together with the fumo's legs to give the soft a "tripod" base that makes them really stable. I was dubious on how much these things would help but I'm pretty satisfied, they even make it really easy to have Lain sit because unlike fumos her legs are made to be "standing" instead of sitting.
The stands are also completely hidden under a girl's skirt, which will be really nice for "in the field" photos since they don't distract from the soft. Only real complaint is that the stands aren't really stackable, so if you're bringing multiple girls along you might as well just leave them equipped.
>>51063344how lain gonna hide her stand...
>>51063344That's certainly an expression on the other plush.
>>51063265I can tell you love your Cirno She is in a good home
You guys have any input on navigating how to pick a storefront on aliexpress? A specific chinese bootleg I've really wanted seems to be available there, but I'm not quite sure how to go about making a judgement call on storefronts when most seem to floating a fairly high 95+% rating and all are using the same preview images. On one hand I already know it's a Chinese bootleg that exists since I see it somewhat often from Chinese/Taiwanese media accounts which feels like it gives the item in general a bit of validity, and the prices are nearly all the same, but it really comes down to a potential late July delivery from a store with less total ratings (and item sales?) in general, or a September delivery from stores with what looks like a Silver/Gold rating and much more sales.
>>51065552I am a weak man, my greed has gotten the better of me and I lept at the earlier shipping partially out of tariff paranoia later in July. I can only hope a storefront that seems to primarily deal with similar items handles their labels correctly, and ali actually honors that service commitment label if something goes awry.
>>51065552I'll usually just use a search engine for something like "best bootleg Fumos on AliExpress" and see the discussions on them. Ideally, reference photos will be included. More often than not the results are from Leddit, but some information to go on is better than none.
Uma fumos are up for preorder.
Bros I'm worried that my Clownpiece is going to be executed by US customs because Amiami isn't going to provide the documents they need for this bullshit they're doing
>>51066972Has something changed recently?
>>51066655Sadly, this particular bootleg has like, only been relevant in China/TW so information for it in the west is pretty nonexistent when I've tried searching at various points in the past. For what it's worth the Chinese seem to unsurprisingly be massive Yuumafags. Best I can hope for is the Chinese source has some up/up soon judging by the shipping dates and all of these store fronts are just resellers. Probably means I got baited by the earlier shipping date and it'll be delayed if it's legitimate, but truth be told I'm more worried about state of US importing right now more than anything.
>>51066975Yeah it's an old thing from 2024 I think that's going in to effect on July 8th. Anything that falls under these import codes https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/CPSC-Guidance-and-HTS-List-for-Filing-of-Electronic-Certificates-6B-Cleared.pdfwhich is pretty much all toys that I think are 12 and under or maybe 15 and under, idr the cutoff, have to have compliance certificates pre-filed with their customs documents now https://www.buchalter.com/blogs/cpsc-efiling-is-here-what-importers-and-consumer-product-companies-need-to-know/ or they could be destroyed or returned. Unfortunately this means that every single plush toy would fall under this.
>>51068051Cute and innocent plushies?YEAH KILL'EM!
>>51068051I wonder if this is why a few spots I've looked at is labeling bootlegs as costumes and not dolls. I was looking at a twitter link above in this thread, and people were supposedly already having issues with customs/imports with items labeled 15+ but still labeled as a doll. On one hand it'd be funny if it was that simple, on the other mislabeling something like that to try and skirt the issue seems like a risk and a half.
>>51068051
>>51068306Hey now, what if they are filled with fent or something?
>amiami just shipped out Koakuma for me...and now I play the waiting game (fuck DHL)
>>51067108Oh, got asked to cancel the order over a supposed lack of stock. Figured something fucky with the availability was up. Understandable if the lack of stock was just an excuse over this cpsc licensing shit though given the timing of everything. I wonder if some spots are even going to bother getting the cpsc stuff done. I'll consider it a blessing in disguise given the timing of this shit.>>51068306I think the official excuse is looking for lead contamination in children's products and putting the responsibility on sellers instead of random tests, but the way this is all happening sure has been annoying and then some. Looking at what they want overseas sellers to do makes it look like a real PITA for resellers that buy a bunch of stuff local to make a profit on selling to foreigners. Amiami and Gift will probably get their stuff in order, but this is outright going to fuck proxy services and those selling on ebay if you missed a preorder period and have to resort to paying that ebay premium given half the time it's from foreign sellers.
>>51068688Some people have said there are some exceptions for 2nd hand goods but yeah proxy stuff is going to get fucked which sucks because I like to buy gacha toys. It's literally just retaliation against Temu shit. They could've just killed Temu but instead decided to fuck global trade again.
>>51059427Oh boy, I finally got my invoice.>>51068051Well, I guess I'm doing DHL for sure to hopefully get them here before that date. I'd be pretty pissed to wait nearly a year and pay out only for them to be 2319'd.Also, god, these shipping prices are obscene. Between the above and the costs, these will definitely be my last AmiAmi purchases for the foreseeable future, for better or worse.
>>51069464I'm going to grow my own fumos.
>>51066972>>51067108>>51068688I haven't ordered anything from Japan in fucking forever, and had to cancel a shitton of Fumo preorders because of the high dollar tariffs and fees, but I was planning on biting the bullet and paying whatever was necessary in order to Adachi Rei's plush. Now I'm scared that something would happen to her along the way even after paying all the expense, and I'm really starting to get bummed out...
>>51069542While it's probably just me coping while tired. I'm curious to see how this will actually function after it's implemented and suddenly everyone has to deal with it and/or we see how it works in practice. It's one thing to implement it and deem it done, it's another to see how it suddenly affects a large swathe of imports and if they're actually going to micromanage every little individual importer or not. Which sounds like a clusterfuck when it hits the general population and not just guys who like their foreign stuff. You just never know with how fucked everything around the topic of imports has been for the last 2 years. It's always a case of expect the worst, hope for the best, or for it to at least not be as bad as you thought it was going to be.
>>51069464>Well, I guess I'm doing DHL for sure to hopefully get them here before that date.Well about that. Some people have been fine but DHL has already started enforcing it early from reports of other people
>>51069855Well, I paid for it and chose DHL, so I guess I'll just deal with paranoia for the next 3-10 days.
>>51069464>>51069542This is why picking up Fumo yourself while in Japan is the best route
>>51065552Use the fumoxfumo factory store. They produce good fumos. You can also find most of the bootleg fumos on Amazon if aliexpress is too risky for you. The bootlegs also have their own storefront https://www.fumotoys.com/
>>51065888Your greed for Fumos will bankrupt you.
how do I clean dust from them?
>>51074357I go for a lightly-damp paper towel and just take my time gently wiping them off
https://x.com/AmiAmi_English/status/2071805931860422678>available at anime expo Which ones should I pick up?
>>51076714the one you like the most.
>>51076714Just Monika
>>51078223You rightI will get another reimu >>51078370I was leaning towards red hood as the second one but I’ll see once I get there and maybe pick up Monika too
>>51076714One of them can read your mind and will judge you if you avoid buying her
Got a new bed. Didn't even get to put pillows on top before the girls claimed it.
>>51079090at least they seem satisfied by it.
>>51079090Your Fumos are in a good home
>>51068643You better post when she arrives.
Well lads. Time out find out if customs executes my Clownpiece. Just paid for my June Amiami order. I'm sure it will take them a week+ to ship it
>>51081586In the same boat as you. Best of luck to you and your soft.
>>51081586>>51081597Hopefully you guys don't have trouble with things. Seems amiami has been actively working on things on their end since early June, and while they don't seem 100% absolutely guaranteed everything will go smoothly, things at least seem to be favorable for amiami which was kind of expected given what they do and how they're not simply just a reseller front.
>>51081614I'm dumb and cropped that incorrectly, that bit of news came out on the 23rd, not early June. Regardless it seems like if they think something had/has a potential problem they wouldn't even ship it until it could be resolved but anything caught in customs hell already is SoL.
>>51081586>>51081614My Megumu and Koakuma are currently sitting in a DHL distribution center in my city. The current status is "on hold" but is still projected to arrive sometime in the next 12 hours, so hopefully all will be well and they won't be 2319'd.
>>51081718Well if they cleared customs at the port of entry you're fine
After much concernposting, they have finally arrived.
