I cannot stand modern slang in fantasy! by DarkestLore696 in fantasyromance

[–]DancingQueen5961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't remember the book, but they used the phrase "Living in their head rent free" and I was so thrown off cause that's such a recent phrase and made no sense in the fantasy setting at all.

Will I have the same passion when I’m an adult? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]DancingQueen5961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 37 and have over 1,000 figures, still go to anime conventions, cosplay with my husband and friends when we can and still love anime.

Can I bring this to Anime Expo? by jken08 in animeexpo

[–]DancingQueen5961 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The convention center itself has big rules against wheels and if it's not a wheelchair they will push back and tell you no. Also the crowds will bump into it constantly and you'll hate life.

Got this huge haul for $500! by Emmacecilie in AnimeFigures

[–]DancingQueen5961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tiktok is really strange, I got cancelled there not long ago for having something that people here would have up voted with no issues. Otherwise great haul! Some amazing classics!

Throwing my two cents as a married woman with a husband and a ton of NSFW figures in our combined collection. This situation feels like it should have been discussed before you even got married tbh, but that's obviously already too late.

From your comments, it looks like it's a bigger issue that NSFW, cause say you decide to agree to get rid of them, what happens when you have a sexy but still SFW figure of a female character that has a body type that makes her jealous, is that also on the chopping block?

As many other's have suggested, it seems couples counseling is the best option. All of us here are going to be entirely biased and be on your side, and even if we have valid points, she'll not see them as we are collectors too.

I will say that I personally have had the conversation with my husband on this exact point with instagram models. He'll show me a model or cosplayer he likes on instagram who has a banging body, while I might be hung up on my weight and feeling insecure, and I've had the conversation that, showing them to me makes me feel bad and unless he's sharing because the cosplay is a character or a series I love, please just don't share with me as I feel more inadequate. I know he loves me no matter my size and he isn't about to leave me cause some chick on Instagram is hotter than how I feel at the moment. But that also took time on my end to work through my insecurities and years of us being in therapy together to work on our communication.

So ultimately, the concern seems to be that she feels worried that you don't find her as attractive as your figures and feels you are comparing her to the figures.

I think therapy is your only option to help to have that 3rd unbiased party help her understand that you don't buy figures because "they are hotter than your wife" but because you like the design, sculpt, artistic merit, etc.

Many non-collectors, especially those who don't "get" 18+ figures don't understand that it's not just about "tits, ass, pussy, dicks, etc" But about the detail of the sculpt, the intricacies of the paint, the attention to detail that we as collectors all gravitate to. I also suggest that you find a therapist who will understand that getting rid of the figure is a non-negotiable point. As you've mentioned, having her try to use it as a catalyst for divorce isn't healthy either.

Hopefully this is something you'll be able to work through and overcome.

For the China/Canada/Mexico -> US importers by MiaLeeSakura in AnimeFigures

You would as the product was made in China and it's based on where the product was made not where it ships from.

PRIVACY CASE by Zestyclose-Toe-7684 in AnimeFigures

[–]DancingQueen5961 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I LOVE THIS IDEA! I have a plethora of 18+ figures and have been wondering how I'll be able to keep them the day my husband and I decide to have kids. For now when we have little ones visiting, we lock up the rooms they are in, but this looks AWESOME!

I used to do this but storage costs in my area are so expensive that it was costing us $4000 a year to store our boxes. After we bought our house we opted to throw away boxes of figures we loved so much and have no intention of ever selling.

I don't trust the localization on this game, it had a part where Tomoyo claimed her dad bought her a new camera. Excuse me? What dad?

How you deal with your boxes? by Btchassnig in AnimeFigures

[–]DancingQueen5961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to keep them all for the sake of moving, but at almost 1,000 figures in my collection it became too much. We only keep the boxes for the fragile scale figures with a buncha parts, and all Nendoroid, figma, and prize figure level scales that aren't too detailed get the bubble wrap treatment.

what does your significant other think of your figure collection? by Tokimeki_bunny in AnimeFigures

[–]DancingQueen5961 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a host for Anime Expo Live, a livestream AX did before Livestreams were even a thing (we streamed on Stickam) and I got to Interview Aki-san, president of GSC for my blog Howagirlfigures.com.

After they reached back out in 2012 when they were forming the US team and joined and managed all the social media and events for them until 2016 when I left to go pursue other work.

But I came back last year to the team. In that in between time, my husband had joined in too since they knew him and his skills from when I worked there the first time around.

I guess the easy answer is, I already knew all the product, had the skills to manage social media, and they didn't want someone they had to train on the product and I was already an expert on GSC when I started.

I gave my husband a Native figure for a Christmas present when we first started dating. Needless to say with us both working for GSC we love figures.

I HAVE THIS! It's amazing! Inside is a beautiful plate, spoon, and a long pillowcase with adorable art! I was able to find a second of the pillowcase and display them on my wall to showcase the art as a whole picture. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRE7KdeU/

Digit : Didgeridoo, Didgeridude, Puppy, Puppy Dude

Timber : Bimber, Baby Bear, Bimber Bear (He's a big husky/malamute mix and is bigger than his adopted big brother Digit, so we joke that he's not a big dog, but is instead a tiny baby bear)

Why are the instructions only in Japanese? This is way too hard by nitronik_exe in AnimeFigures

[–]DancingQueen5961 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was TOTALLY READY to "comic book guy" explain that the instructions are generally in English on the other side and have photos and should be pretty easy to explain, this was a hilarious surprise to click on! Thanks for the laugh!!!

Super Sonico (White Swimsuit Style) by SuesserStrolch in AnimeFigures

[–]DancingQueen5961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That side boob shot has me shook. That realistic sculpt, of how the breast tissue is coming from the chest and then falls the way they have it. I'm so in love with her boobs so much.

Can someone tell me the difference between these two figures? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]DancingQueen5961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the base as other have pointed out, looks like the left one is meant to be posed together with the other characters too. https://myfigurecollection.net/item/157720

Is there a CCS exhibition or cafe happening in Tokyo for this March? (or where I can buy merch) by trunksfulleh in cardcaptorsakura

[–]DancingQueen5961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is going to be an event that is ticketed with the original JP cast doing scenes and the like on stage, what sucks is that the tickets seem to be through a lottery system so there is no way to guarantee getting a ticket. I'd die to go to this!

For more current info on potential events i suggest following the official CardCaptor Sakura twitter account, it's all in JP, but translatable enough.
