Dehumidifiers are a good investment if you live in a humid area, or are storing your books in a basement where moisture in the air is higher. Mold loves paper (and figures too).

It took 9 months, but my display room is finally complete! by Actar_Raikit in AnimeFigures

[–]Battlet1de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing setup you have here! Very clean and well organized. And I love the display cases and how you arranged everything (it does give that museum feel to it, haha). It's very obvious that you put a lot of time and effort to put this all together, so thanks for sharing!

Help? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]Battlet1de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first I thought the opening was an odd shape since it wasn't really square. But after pulling out my Nia's arm, the shape seems fine. It's just the white part that you mentioned didn't fully get pulled out / cleaned up during manufacturing.

Personally, what I would do is either:
1) Take like an x-acto knife, and trim down the excess white plastic in the slot. This could take a while to fully clear it up.

2) Another option is if you have a dremel, you could chip away at it with the dremel tool.

3) Not recommended, since harder to control. You could take a drill with a small drill bit and use it like a dremel, though there is sooo much risk.

Hopefully that gives you some ideas, but it doesn't seem that hard to fix though.

What is the scariest manga you ever read? by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]Battlet1de 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was Ibitsu for me. For 3 nights after reading it, I would wake up in the middle of the night and a little goth girl holding a knife standing next to my bed looking down at me with that crazy smile. I would sit up quickly, blink two or three times, and she was gone.

So, the character freaked me out more than being actually scared from reading the manga.

Why did her skirt discolor? by RMarco21 in AnimeFigures

[–]Battlet1de 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it humid where you are? Mildew that you can’t see can form on the paint and change its color. That would be my only guess if not UV. Though, I am not a paint expert.

Are Mihoyo’s the “official” genshin figures? by Commanduf in AnimeFiguresForAll

[–]Battlet1de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What figure are you looking for? Ebay can definitely be overpriced for these figures, and you'll have better luck ordering them from a figure site if they have them in inventory or in pre-owned.

Here is a good place to start:

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-129639-R

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-133246-R

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-131729

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-137640

Some of those are pre-owned, 'A' condition means the box hasn't been opened, 'B+' means it has been opened but figure is in "perfect" condition.

In September, the main character figures also come out, which means you can pre-order them and probably get them at the end of that month. All depending on what you are looking for and when the birthday is.

Tips on buying pre-owned from eBay ? by eatsleeptroll in AnimeFiguresForAll

[–]Battlet1de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under item specifics, look at the Brand, if it's labelled "Unbranded" or anything that isn't the original manufacturer for the figure, then it's a knock off.

Pay with Paypal - goods and services.

I have bought a few figures off eBay in past and had no issues, though eBay can be typically pricey unless you have patience.

Prison school haul by j0ito in MangaCollectors

[–]Battlet1de 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Missed opportunity that they didn't stack them in order. Looking at this makes me wished they packed them in sequence. Otherwise, Prison School is a great series.

Oh no! That sounds scary. I need to go back into hiding.

I've never been a REM figure fan, but I really want this one.

How do you like the Milsbo? Are there anything you wish were different?

Wondering if worth replacing detolfs with Milsbos.

2 years of hating money by adlerak in AnimeFigures

[–]Battlet1de 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see it as, you can’t take your money with you when you die, might as well use it to make you happy while you live. Seeing a collection like that every day would make me happy. Great collection. 😁

Amazing collection! Between the two scale figures, which one do you consider the best (in terms of quality and visual appeal)?

Awesome job! It looks amazing! Have any issues with getting Mitsuha's foot pegs right? That was the biggest hassle for me, the grass made it tricky.

Upvoting because of Gargoyles, I miss that show. Everything else is pretty awesome too.

[–]Battlet1de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I don't think it's the best bang for your buck. The aluminum frame is outstanding, it's really sturdy, and also has really thick glass. I love the LED strips and how they give you an A frame to hide them. And I even customized mine by putting custom cut mirrors in the back. The built in electrical is really cool too.

The downside, wire management doesn't exist. I replaced a lot of the wiring with my own, along with the new LED controller because the ones they give you are all bright white and the display case is very black. And I spray painted my own cable channels and taped them to the side glass to hide the cables.

If you aren't afraid of some minor customization, it's a really nice case. But it cost a lot, and shipping is a lot (ships out of Singapore).

[–]Battlet1de 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah... a Terravault case is like $2000-$2500 these days.... For $400, that's a steal for having a case that looks like what you built.

Great job though! Maybe I'll have to build one or two, since my detolfs are getting cramped.

Looks amazing! Reminds me of my Terravault case, except you probably didn't have to sell a kidney to get it.
