my pre order charged from the goodsmile.us store so hopefully best boy is shipping soon
>>10964737>>10964738fuck this must have gone under the radar for me, is there anywhere you can still preorder him? I’m not finding anything.
>>10964925Hoy Fucking Cringe you enjoyed this faggot game?
>>10964986Yes.
I think I'll drop ami ami for nendos. They seem to be cheaper overall on the eu shop
>>10965292goodsmile.eu shop?
>>10965920https://goodsmileeurope.com/....though for some reason nyagger isn't on there yet. Hopefully it's just not updated
Got my final haul today. Wanted the Ushio To Tora ones for years, but could never justify the price, dunno if they ever went on sale but ultimately ended up paying to retail in the end.
>>10966266Is there any nendoroids that would pull you back in?
>>10966293That's a good question. I'm trying to avoid characters that either already have 1:12 figures or have a good chance of getting them.I would definitely get Mikami Reiko from GSM and at this point i'll take any new Toriko figures regardless of format.
>>10965292Nendos are right around the price point where I could see Shipping+VAT+handling fee beating local seller markups - especially at a distributor level like GSC must be.One of the few upshots to post-brexit bongland is our piss poor implementation of a very similar import tax policy.
>>10966689ironically importing something from UK is more expensive than importing from japan for ust.german
>>10966208it updated btw. Just takes a few hours more I guess
>>10966741I mean, unless you are talking about domestic products, that's because you've already paid shipping+reseller markup+shipping AGAIN+local tax bullshit, of course that's going to cost out the ass vs buying direct from the source.
I actually got thse guys from Canada of all places. Cheaper that the Japan aftermarket prices on Mercari and YAJ. They come with a bunch a neat stuff. Just got then in neutral poses until I figure out the display.
ooooh fuck I think I bought the wrong stands
>>10967682I didn't even notice.... I bookmarked them on amiami I think.>they come in a pair of 3>pretty surprising since I expected only 1>got 6 of them now>own not a single nendoroid doll body hope they fit a figma hole or something
>>10967683Oh that's a neat idea. The bases are a bit ugly, might be nice to do them all with an easel instead and save the base for aerial poses.
Is spring Wonhobby happening or not?
>>10967705Last year's was at the end of May.
>>10967682just cut the clear pole off and glue
>>10967800yeah no they are fundamentally to big. I'll just get the other one once my reimu nendo ships. The pole can be pulled in and out btw. I think the small ones have one too from the pictures.
Anyone with the Guts figma? I'm surprised it's still in stock given Berserks popularity. You think it would sell out soon? Maybe I should jump on it now.Also cute nendo Zodd when??
>>10968005>figmaI meant nendo obviously kek
I've been thinking about pikcing up sakuna from sakuna of rice and ruin and seeing those extra arms and accessoirs really makes me wish nendoroid would have planned with more foresight like figma did. It would have been nice if these accessoirs would be really interchangable and just switchable hand pieces or something.... you know like those extras they love to give you if you order something during a specific month on the gsc website.
My Omori Nendoroid shipped, so I’ll post pics when he arrives. Weird though because I haven’t seen anyone else talking about him releasing or any reviews yet.
The clear little stands that generally hold up little characters always tend to snap on me and I’m wondering if it’s because of the weather conditions I experience.
just got my the dumb robotsluttoo lazy to take jill out of my display for now though
>>10967055>>10970901Cute.
>>10970624the clear plastic they use is really brittle. you can try contacting their customer service and they might replace the part, they did for me once
Richter Belmont nendoroid is probably the first time I was so damn conflicted about potentially buying something. The design itself is good and I've been into Castlevania for 15+ years but at the same time I didn't even bother with watching his Netflix show (didn't watch Trevor one past S2) and his faceplates fucking suck. I didn't have any hesitation about buying Alucard.
Anyone have him? Hao is he? He’s on sale at BBTS
>>10972176>Hao is he?pretty sure he isn't
>>10972176>>10972241Yeah, that's Zeke :)
>>10972310I can't remember if SK 2021 was good, just that the theme song was the jam, along with Digimon Frontier's theme
Aru Rikuhachima available for pre-order.https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/11085432
Dragon Gang complete (for now).
>>10974168They forgot the butler dragon...
Per twitter, the Kaiji nendo prototype at the exhibition has been replaced with a painted version
>>10976164They went for the worst outfit.
>>10976164I'd buy Akagi if they made him
Is the color version better then the monochrome one?I ask, cuz something about this feels wrong.
>>10976253Yeah of all his clothes why go for the one set that wasn't his choice
>>10977754I honestly prefer the monochrome look.Mickey is that character for me where I don't like when his design becomes more complicated, and that includes colors.
>>10977915I don't mind his newer looks (image related). My favorite version of his design is something in the middle. The black and white face but with color. But with steamboat Willie, it just doesn't look right. He doesn't have his gloves, which would be fine, but that is this weird navy blue. Not really sure why they decided to make an alternative version anyway. It's not bad or anything, I just think they should have done a 30s styled figure instead.
>>10977945Fuck I forgot the image.
>>10964737This gay faggot game got nendaroids before devilman?
>>10977956>gay faggotAnon, I love Devilman and all but let's not throw stones in gay houses here.
Bumparoo.
Does anyone here know what "Nendoroid Light" might mean?
>>10978475I haven't heard of those before. The name makes me think they might have less articulation or accessories?
>>10978475>>10978480Looking at the only Nendo Light that has been released so far (https://myfigurecollection.net/item/1886486), it's just a static figure in the Nendo style.
>>10978475no articulation.
>>10977956you do realize that maybe the company that owns Devilman is demanding too much for the rights to make Nendos right?
Why is it so expensive now...>>10977754Who chose that shade of blue? That doesn't fit with mickey at all.>>10964737I'm shocked this got a nendaroid. Is Omori popular in Japan? All well, at least this opens up more room to get more indie nendoroids.>>10978475>>10978480>>10978489This doesn't look like a bad idea. They would probably be cheaper at the very least.
anyone knows when is the next good smile event where they usually show a bunch of new nendos?
Bumpity bumb - bump, bumpity bump bump.
>>10978998Wonfes is every Feb and Aug
>>10978998May 27th
>>10978998There is going to be one in late June and the next one in August.
What determines the likelihood of a particular nendo getting bootlegged? Is it a general "anything and everything" sort of situation?
>>10981903It's kind of random from my observations but obviously more popular IP is more likely to be ripped off.
Are Bootleg nendos really that common nowadays? Can't even remember the last time i saw one.
>>10982646Go on aliexpress, search for nendoroid. Everything below MSRP is a bootleg.
>>10976164>they kept the noseBASED
>>10982671Adding to this, just use common sense when you're browsing around. I saw a listing on eBay earlier for Kamen Rider MISB for just $30. When everywhere else has him at $50-60, you should be raising some eyebrows.
>>10978489I mean, the average Nendo doesn't have articulation iirc, but they can change accessories.
>>10983087They do have articulation, just pretty minimal. Head is on a ball joint so it can look all the way around, some up, some down, tilt. Arms are just pegged in so they can go up, down. Some nendoroids actually have better arms like the ace attorney ones (picrel), where they can actually bring the lower arm up to 90. There’s usually rotation at the waist, and then the legs are on a ball joint into the waist so they can kinda move around a little. But more figures come with swap out arms to recreate certain poses and stuff since the articulation is again, pretty minimal.
>>10983103But can he kick his own ass?
Cant find this fucker for sale anywherewhy is he so rare?
Where do you guys look to find nendoroids? Looking to sell some of mine, is ebay my best option?
>>10983116I see a bunch of eBay and Mercari for around $60?>>10983259eBay or Mercari are your best bets
cute
is there any reason to order directly from goodsmile besides the occasional bonus? their site is kinda shit
>>10983983GSCUS has half-price shipping for preorders, and I like being able to see the full price right away. Plus it's no penalty to cancel things, and shipping from Japan has gotten super expensive. I used to never order from them, but they actually adjust their USD prices to be pretty in-line with the current USD/JPY conversion so it just works best for me when preordering single items.
>>10983983goodsmileeurope will end up being cheaper on top of having events, coupons and very rare nendos and figmas occasionally. Other than that probably not. It's also not worth it if you have an ami ami order in the same month already proably since you pay shipping anyway. But from the EU shop you save a good chunk of money over time and don't have to wait so long for it to arrive either.
>>10983983sometimes they carry nendos that are not on amiami.
