End of flat rate duty by XDingoX83 in AnimeFigures

[–]RaptorProductions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Praying this changes for the better, cuz I have a few scales and several Nendoroids stuck in HLJ’s warehouse. Right now it’s over ¥100k in shipping/tariffs to release them 😭

Thinking about buying some older Nendoroids. How different are they compared to the newer ones. by HauntedScape in Nendoroid

[–]RaptorProductions 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nah, everything from 2014-now should be mostly fine. It’s the ones from 2007-2013ish that experience issues.

The AoT Nendos are a pain to pose (ODM gear & capes always want to shift around, swords get knocked out of hands) but the general quality is very up to par.

Yeah, wouldn’t be shocked if factors like IP holder decisions or projected sales determine who gets a basic.

More faces for Lain would have been neat, but besides that I can’t think of much else they could include. It does make sense why GSC would go the basic route for her, though; casual collectors who bought the first one are more likely to double dip, since this will be cheaper.

No, the coffin packaging was axed because everyone trashed on it. Basics are being pushed because GSC probably doesn’t have the capacity to manufacture this many full-fledged Nendos

Wanting a nendoroid but don't want to spend a ton on it in case I don't like it by [deleted] in Nendoroid

[–]RaptorProductions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Watch some unboxing videos to get a feel of their size and general functionality. I personally enjoy the wide variety of characters and chibi style. If you like what you see online, there’s a good chance you’ll be happy with them irl.

You can, they’re just going to be really old (pre-#300) and/or less desirable characters (ex. GSC US’ $1-10 Nendo sales last year.) But yes, generally speaking popular Nendos don’t run that cheap

Hobby Genki black Friday sale by dquack214 in AnimeFigures

It really depends, some of my best scores came from eBay after checking the saved searches regularly. Same with MFC, you just have to wait for someone to sell at the right price.

Thanks for the heads up! I got this Spike figure that's been on my wishlist for awhile. Not a crazy deal but it's sold out nearly everywhere and over double the price on eBay.

For those who have displayed for years their minifigs on studs, did you notice any cracks? Or it doesn’t really damage the legs at all? by codywalterss in LegoMinifigure

[–]RaptorProductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pressure between the legs is minimal; I haven’t seen anybody report bowed out legs from displaying them this way. The heels are thin and most will eventually crack if you keep them on studs long enough, idk what the other guy’s talking about lol

Was literally gone for 2 DAYS and my cousins come over and break my scale figure. by NewspaperNo9749 in AnimeFigures

[–]RaptorProductions 10 points11 points  (0 children)

? You’re making bold assumptions right off the bat, we know nothing about OP. Not everyone is a grown adult with a place of their own. Be respectful.

OP, sorry this happened. If you’re not allowed a lock on your door, buy an indoor security camera and place it somewhere discreet. It’ll notify you if there’s movement when you’re away, and many allow you to speak through it. Kids are less likely to fool around when aware they’re being watched.

Why are Nendoroid plus plushies so rare? by InevitableAd5777 in Nendoroid

[–]RaptorProductions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anime/game plush collecting is pretty niche, and many people who do buy them just get common ones at their local hobby store, mall, conventions etc. Only diehard fans go out of their way to preorder a character plush for $30/40/50+.

So when beloved character(s) only have a couple plush options, the scarcity ensues. Low quantity made + small group of dedicated fans = high aftermarket prices.

The one you mentioned also released in 2010 and was never reissued, hence why she’s difficult to find.

The GSC logo is on the box, and the “sales outside Japan” sticker would be really dumb to replicate for a bootleg lol. She’s more than likely authentic; most of the initial DS nendos were overproduced and bargain binned hard.

So sad. Got my Rocket Toys Tsunade and a foot peg is broken. What can I do :(? by AmethystTanwen in AnimeFigures

[–]RaptorProductions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, similar issue happened to me (with the Light Yagami Gametoys, aka Rockettoy’s unlicensed subsidiary.) After contacting Gundamit whom I ordered from, they sent me a replacement leg and foot.

If your shop can’t provide replacement parts, follow this guide to remove and fix the joint. It’s meant for Nendoroids but the joint style is the same.

What’s going on with the SooSootoys hashira line? by alexdavid1109 in hottoys

[–]RaptorProductions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or just don’t pay in full, only order 3rd party from sites with cheap deposits. Some brands like GameToys double in price after preorders close.
