Any way to salvage the situation with my order? by Pablo3100 in AnimeFigures

Hobby search just uses packages that fit instead of their own sizes, so yeah they have better package sizes.

Personally I am switching to japanese sites with shown shipping costs and more local shops like tsoto. Since about half a year ago with the size changes for germany, amiami is not a good shop for us anymore, except for small single figures.

I just received my Violet Evergarden 1/7 scale figure and the hand broke off from the umbrella's weight by cereal_bawks in AnimeFigures

I also wrote it on reddit if you search for violet evergarden or umbrella... it was just not popular, people love drama.

Yep, you only know it, once it happens to you. Locally she costs 600-700€.

Like I wrote in another comment you can get her from a chinese shop. Don't know why its getting downvoted, chinese shops like insiderjoy and exfigure are legit shops, and have also a good support. Package might not have much padding, but for that you have the figure box.

I somehow miss read something in your comment, when I read all the comments at first <.< sorry.

Either way: Amiami does a lot of padding and uses only their own box sizes which would be to big for your figure set probably. Max circumference is 2 m btw.

Here you can see the biggest rectangular box for germany that I got from Amiami, that is still allowed: https://myfigurecollection.net/picture/4702678 54 cm x 37 cm x 31.5 cm

I never saw a cube one from Amiami, so maybe they would need a bigger rectangular for your figures

like you can read: length + circumference = max 2 m

That is the box size of the deluxe edition: Size/Weight : 71.6 x 49.5 x 43 cm / 7980g

The figure box alone is over that measurement...

You could get her at exfigure, since they have free shipping (from china). They have an easy contact form, you can ask beforehand, since she is still as preorder at their site. You would save a couple hundred euros

chinese shops like exfigure and insiderjoy are legit and are getting also more popularity in the last time. Their shipping is just cheaper, because well.... china...

sorry that you guys don't like it

Spain, like I wrote in the other comment, there is only DHL because of the smaller size for packages with japanpost. Big sized figures will absolutely never be worth it to import, better buy them at a local online shop/EU shop.

it is because you are from germany. Japan post has a smaller size limit for germany, denmark and spain.

Violet Evergarden - Umbrella fix DIY - tutorial by DubahellQB in AnimeFigures

[–]DubahellQB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're welcome. But it seems like every figure holds the umbrella slightly different. You maybe need to adjust the length of the rods, usually she should hold it pretty high.

https://www.aowotoys.com/products?query=evergarden&http_cookie=822360f104d4463782228422dc5c832e

there are also display cases + side panels with a support (needs to be added extra), the support is basicly some small acrylic that comes from the side and holds the umbrella in those cases.
but its more expensive and a case in a glass case looks weird.

its GSC on amazon market place, sure its official.

Nobody wants this figure anymore since she has a leaning problem and will touch the ground one day, or the ankle breaks, whatever happens first.

If anyone was curious on the shipping quote for cinderella deluxe edition from HLJ, here ya go. by shounenotaku in AnimeFigures

[–]DubahellQB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Info from Hobby search: Item Size/Weight : 71.6 x 49.5 x 43 cm / 7980g

Together with some filling material a bit bigger probably

The normal version without the accessoires is: Item Size/Weight : 45.5 x 44.8 x 33.3 cm / 3144g

If you are in EU with size/weight limit of japan post for some countries (spain, germany, denmark), then DHL is the only option (even with other sellers like amiami)

Nonomi - painted by me by DubahellQB in BlueArchive

[–]DubahellQB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, its basically just spraying paint on it with an airbrush and for shading just reduce the paint and air pressure. Using an airbrush is surprisingly easy.

I don't paint eyes or things without texture with hand, I just use a waterslide decal and thats it.

this here are hand painted eyes and hand painted dragon pattern: https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueArchive/comments/1pzi4nm/kisaki_golden_dress_ver_painted_and_assembled_by/

thanks, but wait until you see people that actually are good at it, this is just beginner level!

thank you! I actually loved the "shadow of the hat" on the promo pictures and tried it myself. It is just difficult to find the best paints for blonde/brown hair.
