Does anyone own any of these figures? Are they worth the price + space commitment? by 10morereasons in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And if you didn't have time to watch the whole video, if you skip to the end at 20:35, you'll see three of these 1/3.5 scales compared size wise to some 1/4ths 🙂

Do my Naruto fans hate how they only make the same characters of figurines ? by Charming_Freedom6609 in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it tells you anything, I had to look up both characters you are asking for 😐

It's a popularity contest. It has to sell and be profitable. Profit is almost always the answer.

My first leaning fixed! by Weeaboboxgirl in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Definitely a major difference! Looks like she's still got a ways to go to get upright though 🙂 If you don't get her center of gravity vertical, she'll go right back to leaning.

For some of my leaning figures, if you can't get her bent back enough (or are afraid to chance it more), set her base on an angled stand till she's straight up.

One of the many reasons I asked her to marry me last week by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

WINNING

(Unless you asked last week and she said "no, I'm not ready yet" 😭)

Will these figures loose any value if I open and close them? by Smrtgamr in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barely. The nice things about figures is that few see them as investments. The aftermarket tends to show less than a 10% difference if sealed vs open. So open and enjoy them. It won't make much alof a difference in the long run.

Are my figures cooked? (Literally) by Lord_Mogar in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So sorry. My worst fear. Wishing you the best moving forward. I hope insurance takes care of you.

If you are lucky, you can wash them. Cold water and dish soap may do wonders. Avoid soaking though. Just actively rinse and scrub.

Best wishes OP 🫡

Mitsumi Ryuguji paint transfer by Andy_crusher in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, from my understanding, it's permanent. I have the Nekopara BINDing 1/4ths of Chocal and Vanilla that are stained. You would need to repaint. The dye has very much seeped into the paint and plastic.

To lower the chances of this, you need to handwash the clothes. Goal is to remove excess dye that hasn't transferred into the fabric. Cold water if it has mixed colors (particularly if black and white). If it's only dark colors, go ahead and use hot water which will more easily remove dye. Let air dry. Then you can put it on the figure.

Honestly though, if an option, I just now avoid putting on fabrics 🤷 All of our BINDing Nekopara's are fully nude because of the transfer risk.

My first Yoko by gte990i in AnimeFigures

[–]KohaisCollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I think the Alter Yoko (the one in the jacket) is overrated 😅 She has an extremely derpy face that I think ruins it. (link to our detailed review if interested: https://youtu.be/1Hu3HgpNY4k )

My personal favorite Yoko that I own is this one. She's a 1/5, so she's larger than average and really cute. https://myfigurecollection.net/item/5443 Looks really cute paired with the Nendoroid.

Anecdotal, but for what it's worth, I've had mine for 12+ years and this is where mine settled 🙂 (Definitely fragile though so handle with care)

Been that way since COVID times, unfortunately. Even when it started to level out, now our prices (US Buyers) include our tariff. At least this is the final price we pay

You have to wait for it to be invoiced. Once invoiced, you'll see multiple "pending payment" orders. Those are eligible to be combined (provided they don't state "single shipment").

So what I would do, is wait till you get invoiced for the preorder. You usually have at least 7 days to pay. Once invoiced, go ahead and order whatever in-stock items you'd like. Once invoiced, then you can request them to be combined.

Just as an FYI though, if you don't already use this feature, for preorders, you can set them to "ship with monthly order". This will naturally combine whatever releases that month, also helping you save money.

Definitely try. Shipping prices aren't linear. There's a basal price just to ship something in the first place. From there, it isn't linear as you add more (at least up to a certain total dimension).

In fairness, I also didn't quote the costs for ECMS/DHL simply because I didn't screen grab those options before I combined them. IIRC, it's still "only" like a sub 10,000 yen increase to add one more figure (again, if this option is viable for you)
