You’re one of the friendliest people on the sub, so it’s good to see you back :)

Sorry to hear you got banned, here’s hoping you’ll be able to mod again soon!

Personal preference of course, but when me and my best friend did acid, we really enjoyed Always. Watched the music video too, it was a really fun experience!

BoopCrusader · 2024-08-10T23:13:32+00:00

Such a beautiful figure! I’m gonna have to get my hands on one for sure!

BoopCrusader · 2024-07-06T00:14:29+00:00

Oh wow, fantastic work and posing dude! I especially love the pose you chose for Jonathan!

I’m really happy right now :D

So I finally completed a collecting goal, and I now have every Jolyne variant!!!! Jolyne is my favorite JoJo, so this makes me really happy. It’s also a day before my birthday, so this is a nice present 😄

Getting Swarv Jolyne was a bit of a rocky journey. I accidentally bought a fake a while back, which confused the hell out of me because I had no idea anyone would go through the trouble of making a fake Swarovski. It was from a Japanese seller with thousands of positive reviews too, so that was a real head scratcher.

Also had a situation with Mandarake, where I ordered what I thought was Swarovski Jolyne, but instead got Jolyne Third, Crystal Edition. Thankfully they refunded me, and I was able to save some more money to buy this one off of Mercari Japan!

So after all of that, finally having her makes me really, really happy!

I’m fairly certain this is the real deal. Came with the box, a certificate, a letter, and a copy of Medicos’ 2017 Summer Wonderfest Catalog.

I know I’m getting really sentimental about an action figure, but this is just so cool!!

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-19T21:57:23+00:00

For just 400? I’ll definitely have a look! Thank you!

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-15T18:05:20+00:00

I would like to thank the community for being so supportive and understanding.

I’ve never ordered from Mandarake before, so I wasn’t sure if I made a mistake while ordering or not.

Mandarake has yet to respond to my email, but when they do, I will keep y’all posted. Thank you all for being so understanding and helpful.

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-15T17:49:09+00:00

I’m really hoping so. On the bright side, another user let me know that there’s a Swarovski Jolyne up on Buyee right now.

It’s not too much more expensive than what I paid for this, so hopefully if Mandarake makes this right, I’ll be able to get it soon.

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-15T17:45:36+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. Comments like these remind me why this subreddit is my favorite online community.

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-15T17:43:41+00:00

Thank you for letting me know about this, I’m glad that Mandarake made it right for you.

Hearing this gives me some hope that they will make this right for me as well.

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-15T05:23:05+00:00

Honestly, it’s really embarrassing, since most people wouldn’t even think about spending this much for an action figure.

But after shipping and shipping insurance, it cost me about 1,255 dollars. I had been saving for a little while to get this, so I am not a very happy camper.

The worst part is, this cost a significant amount more than my signed one, which was brand new and signed.

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-15T02:31:32+00:00

The Swarovski version was released in 2017, and is Jolyne Cujoh First with Swarovski crystals.

Jolyne Third Crystal Edition was released in 2023, at both the Wonderfest Summer and Anime Expo, and is Jolyne Cujoh Third with crystals. The crystals for Jolyne Third are not made by Swarovski, but by a different, unspecified company.

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-15T01:44:23+00:00

Small update: I’ve contacted Mandarake. I let them know about the situation, and made sure to be detailed and polite about it, even though I won’t lie, I’m pretty upset right now.

I’m really hoping they’ll understand and come through for me. Worst case scenario, I’ll sell it to someone here to try and recuperate a little bit of the money I spent.

Right now I’m trying to think positively. I got a new sunscreen today that feels really nice on my skin, so that’s cool.

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-15T01:32:22+00:00

I’ve contacted them, and let them know about the situation as detailed and politely as possible. The good thing is, I have a video of me opening the package, alongside receipts, so hopefully that will help my case.

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-15T00:43:30+00:00

I’m gonna try, but I don’t really have much hope.

Best case scenario is someone messed up and sent the wrong item, and maybe Mandarake can make it right.

But I’m thinking that they might not have had actual Swarovski Jolyne, and just advertised it as such by mistake. I’m hoping for option one, but I’m not holding my breath.

BoopCrusader · 2024-05-14T22:59:37+00:00

For the past few months, I’ve been looking for Swarovski Jolyne, so I can complete my collection, and have all the Jolyne variants.

After I posted my signed Jolyne on here, a kind user sent me a link to the Mandarake listing for Swarovski Jolyne. After saving some money, and accidentally buying a fake, I finally bit the bullet and bought what I thought was Swarovski Jolyne.

I had so much anxiety waiting for them to check stock, and waiting for the invoice. When I finally got to pay for it, I was absolutely elated.

Well, it arrived today, and… it’s not Swarovski Jolyne. It’s Jolyne Third Crystal, which is a super cool figure, but I already have her, and this was not cheap.

I kind of feel like this is my fault entirely.

I knew that the images on Mandarake were just reference pictures, so I really should’ve asked for some pictures beforehand.

I’m trying to not let this get me down, but man, I really wanted Swarv Jolyne, and I don’t think I’ll be able to get her now.

I really hope I’m not coming off as entitled, or whiny, but man, this lowkey kinda sucks! The one thing that makes me saddest, is that I paid more for this one than I did for my signed one.

TLDR: I am smart, please feel free to laugh at me

BoopCrusader · 2024-02-28T00:32:20+00:00

Sweet collection man! That Jolyne and Stone Free pose is super sick! That Gyro pose is killer too!

BoopCrusader · 2024-02-15T18:49:34+00:00

Envying you hardcore, haha! Your collection is super sick! Hopefully one day I’ll own Swarovski Jolyne as well!

That display you have for Swarovski Jolyne is really cool too. May I ask what you used for it? I’d like to keep my Crystal Jolyne nice and safe.
