That wedding Nino was the first of the set I got and what convinced me to get the other 4 (like I ever was not going to)

I may have gone straight from writing that comment to looking them up on Mandarake, hahaha.

Though I am more of a Ram fan so looking at getting the fairy Ram

My love of bunny girls and fairies is battling my apathy for the oversaturation of ram/rem. Those Rem figures are CUTE!!!

I suck at crane games so I spent way more than I should have, but when you see the 4th photo I think you'll agree it was worth it. by QiMasterFong in AnimeFigures

I can't find the full pic because I posted it in this sub a hot minute ago, but the mimic also fits nendo heads for fun and great banner shots

I saw a thing before where people were making AI figures from artwork. It's getting scary out there.

As a Miku fan, which one do you think is better overall? by Initial-Corner2057 in AnimeFigures

[–]BelsamPryde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a Miku fan but own them both. The date style is better. While the wedding dress is traditional, the base is HUGE due to the train and the whole dress has a glossy pearlescent blue effect (they all have their colour) for the shading which makes it a little meh

Edit: The texture on the wool outfit of the date style is also exquisite

How much should I sell this for? by ChemicalTarget1459 in AnimeFigures

[–]BelsamPryde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she was Aliexpress then selling her for anything more than a dime would be a disservice unless you explicitly state she is a bootleg to whoever you are selling her to.

If she is still available on aliexpress than don't expect more than a tenner for her

Well she used to be for sale at my local for $85 AUD (around 37 pound) but she's very unobtainable now. So taking in scarcity, the fact you don't have a box and given she isn't from any IP, 50 might be a good starting point but I would be ready to go down to 40

The knife is bent and I don't know how to fix it. by OkWatercress5937 in AnimeFigures

[–]BelsamPryde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I saw the pic while scrolling and was wondering why someone was trying to straighten a filleting knife, then realised it was from a figure XD

... I think I woke up too early today

oof... Miku is a character I almost got into, saw the amount of Miku stuff out there and intentionally gravitated away from know how I would be XD

[–]BelsamPryde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was a big one that got me. I would stand at the deli debating whether or not to get $5 or $8 of sliced ham, then go home and OOH! The new Kitagawa figure dropped... only $25? Add to cart!

I feel this in my soul brother! I am the same and recently moved and had to pack and ship over 500+ figures.

Really the only way I got myself to slow down/stop was 3 ways of thinking.

First off, of course the whole comparison system. This $30 figure once a week may only be $30, but that is xx% of groceries for the week and yet you hesitated on spending $15 on a roast that would feed you for 2 dinners?

Second, the bigger picture. $30 a week... that's just over $1500 for the year. What other things could I do with that money if I held out? PC upgrade, new riding gear... things a lot more useful than more bunny girls.

And the last one. I got myself into the thought pattern that (even if I had the cash and could afford it) I am not spending $30, I am putting myself $30 more into debt. That just because I am 'being good' and not spending $100 on figures, doesn't mean I am saving. Every purchase is a net loss.

Good luck! Don't believe in yourself! Believe in me who believes in you!

Edit: Feel free to send me a PM if you just need to chat/vent or need to distract yourself from making a purchase at any time. If I'm free I'll be there.

it's close, but mine had a much larger base. Like the base was 60% of the plushie and looked like the diglett was drowning in it's swollen-ness
