So I'm looking to get into collecting those Phicen/tb league (don't know the difference) figures because they look incredibly detailed and lifelike. Before I dive in, what should I know? Are they generally more fragile than regular PVC figures? Also, what do the bodies look like without clothes on? Pic related from "Verycool" got me interested.
>>11231662The way the joints bend got me concerned
>>11231663oh yeah. that shit is going to crack in no time
>>11231662
>>11231662-The bodies have no anatomical details under the clothes, the most you will get is a nipple bump maybe-If you put them in a dynamic pose that stresses the material they will crack from the stress, you have to display them in a neutral pose, the provided instructions will tell you as much-They are dust magnets and if you clean them with water you have to then apply something like cornstratch after they dry otherwise they will get tacky-If you dress them in clothes that come from china they will stain most likely - The metal skeleton underneath can poke through the elbows if not careful, although i suspect that's a problem only for the 1/12 ones- Most of the nicer more detailed ones are 1/6 scale, you may not care about that one thoughThat's all I can think of off the top of my head. They aren't terrible but they come with a lot of issues that you have to be careful about.
>>11231872>-If you put them in a dynamic pose that stresses the material they will crack from the stress, you have to display them in a neutral pose, the provided instructions will tell you as muchSeriously?

>>11232005What's the point of calling them "action figures", when it's dangerous to pose them?
>>11232473They're calling them "dolls" tbf.
>>11231956Did you not see the Mezco Batman thread? Seamless bodies all do this and will still crack just from time. Just say no to seamless.
>>11231956not him but yes. I own Tunshi Studio mai and i had her posed like this for some time. i always like to move my figures around and i noticed her elbow was splitting from her arm being bent too long. You can pose seamless figures for photo shoots but you must put them back in a neutral afterwards. but dont let this discourage you. I like mai and dont mind buying more figures of her. only time will tell how long the body will actually last but you can always buy another seamless body. her head is made of plastic so you can transfer the cloths and accessories. Bishoujou and storm collectables have mai figure and statue you can still buy
>>11232728If you just leave them inside their boxes, can the bodies still get damaged overtime?
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/298106You can preorder her already OP, just $280
>>11233715Damn they didn't hide that elbow bend
How does the butt look?
>>11233715>>11233840Very nice, very pretty but too expensive and no lewd details. Not my thing. At this point I'd rather get a 3d Mai to use on virt a mate.
>>11232005>>11232473>retards look at this image and think it means you can't pose it at all
>>11232863i'v had mine on display on my shelf over a year and no issues. Tunshi studio blue mary was my first 1/6 scale figure and i'v had her for 2 years no issues(apart from the split elbow). on both my figures it is a minor split but once the arm goes back to a neutral pose you can't notice it. Other collectors have said don't keep the figure exposed to heat & sunlight to avoid damage the same with plastic figures.
>>11234045No clear pic of it yet but it looks fat at least
>>11231872>>11232005What figure is this and where can I get one?
>>11234823Over/under on how much squish it has?
>>11231662>>11231663>>11232728>>11233715>>11233840>>11234823I can feel her compressed vertebral discs from here.hsy8s
>>11235684Go back to bluesky troon
>>11235785What the fuck is bluesky?I'm just saying her fun bags are giving me second hand lumbago.

>>11234899seven toys Mai, it's a manatee industry clone, i bought it years ago and i don't think it will be easy to find it these days
>>11231663any info on the bigger mai figure in the back ground?>>11231662i'm glad to see KOF girls are starting to get some figures/ statues espcially the poster girl mai. street fighter always the most merchandise. i recently pre ordered this mai statue. pre order sold out real quick
There is another Mai coming with different bangs
>>11239020
Does anyone know what the bust size for Mai is? Closest competitor I've seen is the LDDoll 29XL, which is 17.6cm
>>11239020>>11239022dick move imothey're even the same price
>>11239090the breast size on the body is absurd. i like big bobba but that is just too much
>>11232005It just says don't break your dolly. You shouldn't need instructions for this.
>>11240091Not big enough. Still waiting for 30XL
If I store them in my freezer, will this solve the moisture damage problem?
>>11240356wish they made jointed 1/6 bodies with tits this big. there was play toy years ago but they had weird ankle joints.
>>11240648?Anyone
The only reason I hope this Mai sells well is because I hope this will allow for an Angel down the line. The third party released a couple of years back wasn't bad but I'd like a licensed one.
>>11240648>>11243416Pretty sure that would damage the rubber. Store them with silica or keep silica in you display case. Get the silica you can reactivate in the oven.
>>11244462Bishoujo is making an Angel 1/7 scale statue.
>>11246145She already got released. The final product looks meh compared to the promo photos
Ninja Cat Studio is releasing their own 2rd party version that honestly, looks better and is cheaper $186https://www.orzgk.com/product/ninja-cat-studio-king-of-fighters-female-fighter-shiranui-mai-n001/
>>11246145>>11246239I own her and I think she's pretty good but I'd like an articulated figure.
>>11246922 jesus, my coomer brain is telling me to buy this. another mai figure won't hurt. i never used ORZGK are they any good? do they ship from the US or are they from over seas? I mainly buy from BBTS. I recently started using "Mozfigure" but shipping takes a long time because they are in china.
>>11247480Honestly I have no idea, the only stores that seem to carry this Mai are ones I've never heard of beforehttps://www.bombusbee.net/product/ninja-cat-king-of-fighters-mai-shiranui/
>>11248272I don't like her face
yeah, they're disgusting and they will crack or peel or degrade in some other way
>>11247480>>11248272Gundamit just got it, though their full price is unlisted yet.https://gundamit.com/ninja-cat-1-6-n001-female-fighter-mai-shiranui_p6593.html
>>11250175even if you don't do anything to them?
>>11253261eventually, yeah. it's just the material, it doesn't last. Some people keep them in tubes or under glass or whatever to help preserve them, i've heard of using oils or other substances to try to prevent cracking, but it is what it is. That's why I prefer hard plastic, but I'm not saying these aren't enjoyable; they're just more ephemeral than figures made with more robust materials
>>11253351not him but what kind of oil is there for the silicon skin? I own two 1/6 scale dolls and they wear cloth clothing no faux leather. the few videos out there on 1/6 scale maintenance are mostly for marvel hot toys that use a lot of faux leather. they use leather conditioner.
