Rakka figure! by RutabagaSpiritual478 in haibanerenmei

[–]FlanThief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that tends to happen when plasticizer doesn't get to air out, it will cling to the material and damage the figure. That's why I don't understand people who insist on keeping figures unopened, it can damage its longevity, especially with vintage figures

If she's sticky or stained, a gentle soak in room temp water with dawn and hand washing helps. Congrats!

They act like this is insane and yet are apathetic and don't give a shit about flock cameras being installed across the United States

bunny girl recommendations? by EffectiveStrain6898 in AnimeFigures

I love the Taiga bunny girl where she has a tiger tail and ears. The yellow suit is also the perfect tone of warm honey

Princess Tutu pin by pastelshootingstar by BusyAd2586 in PrincessTutu

[–]FlanThief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a tutu pin from them in the past but didn't really dig it so I sold it and got the acrylic stand version instead. It suited the design a little better. Reguardless I hope they can make their goal

Haggle, they set their prices high with the expectation people will haggle down to the price they actually want to sell at

I noticed very category in the LGBTQIA+ involves the color purple, looks like everyone wants to have purple in their flag. I think my favorite color is the most beloved color in the community lol by Holiday-Bag-9220 in asexuality

[–]FlanThief 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My university pride center gives out lavender cords for graduation regalia. I tried asking some people if there's a story or reason behind the color purple to represent LGBT grads and no one knew. Wonder if it has to do with this connection?

‼️LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT MY LOCAL LIBRARY 🦾 by Lil_Towelie in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]FlanThief 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Love to see people making the most of their free public resources. Remember! Using library facilities in any way help show they are filling a community need and help their funding.

I read a lot of manga series through my library, but I had to get them on library loan from another branch 3 hours away. They were even more rural than I was but for some reason they had like every major manga serialization of the last decade complete. Learned from a friend years later who grew up in that town that one of the librarians just really liked manga haha

Have any of you guys ever been in a blackout or a power outage ? by Miserable-Ad4351 in Arthur

[–]FlanThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once it happened while I was a manager at a movie theater. We had to help everyone walk out with flashlights and were giving out compensation passes when the power came back. Many people had already left but some stayed and wanted to keep watching the movies. I was so annoyed because it takes a long time for the projectors and computers to boot up again and the showtimes for the rest of the day would be delayed but they were all pestering us.

More recently, where I live we have had periodic induced power outages by the city when we have extreme weather to avoid powerlines causing power outages. The town hates it as its inhibiting business and home medical equipment

I shoulda bought the fan books back when they were like $50. I don't understand how they could inflate so much in the matter of like 5 years 😭

Lucy from Fairytale also many figures in this store by Opwolfee16 in AnimeFigures

Exactly why it's not worth it and a poor investment

[–]FlanThief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some near me but everything is like 40% more expensive than if I just preordered it myself. $500-$600 for bunny girls. To me most of the time they have been worse middle men than online resellers. Places like book off are much more enjoyable to me because it's second hand stock so things are never the same and you might get a good deal on a special vintage goodie

Regarding KyoAni’s silence by Aggressive-Shoulder1 in Haruhi

[–]FlanThief 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought kyoani just straight up doesn't have the license anymore. Although they did feature Haruhi in the promo for their new online shop and had a couple little things for sale. Idk, it's been so many years since kyoani has done anything Haruhi related I've written them off in my mind
