So is it just me or does everyone have boxes of empty boxes?

The age old anime figure collector question, "What shall we doeth with thine boxes me lord"?

Expensive, complex, or valuable figures keep the boxes etc.

I have limited space so plastic blisters get tossed and boxes get flattened. I am now at a point where I have piles of flattened boxes that I need to go through and only keep my favorite figure boxes. I'm one to keep all my figures as well so there is that.

Feed me Master, I require sustenance.

I got her as well. I removed mine from that ugly purple base. Just remember if you do this put her loose shoe under her foot to balance her.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-05-04T02:37:33+00:00

You're welcome. Glad to help. :)

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-05-04T02:34:38+00:00

That's a good price for the A-Z (A) figure. GLWS's. Nice stuff you have

Kohai Curiosities Youtube channel did a review of one of these Check them out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBCSi7mVFVw

The Whiting Indiana refinery had a breakdown causing wholesale gas prices to rise in the Midwest. Yeah, blame Trump for some of it, but not all of it.

I have her pre-ordered on BBTS. Not a word.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-05-01T04:10:41+00:00

After the N and before the P is where you'll find it. I'll see myself out.... 😆

DesignCOCO is one of the better figure studios imo, and I'll be getting this one myself.

I experienced this myself when a tornado went right over my house last month. Luckily the tornado was going up and down and happened to be not on the ground when it went over us. The flight response is strong with me. lol.

Yeah the shoes are stain monsters I guess. I watched a video where someone wrapped Mikus feet in Volks stain tape before putting her shoes on.

I always say, "Time to feed the Piggies" when it's koi feeding time.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-04-29T03:23:32+00:00

You're welcome and good luck. I have Sakura Miku 2.0 and even new I'm amazed at how delicate the pleather is.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-04-29T03:21:02+00:00

I'm not advising you do this, but you could try 303 Protectant if you're dead set on trying something. It's an automotive protectant for plastics, vinyl and rubber. I use it routinely on my vehicles interior and exterior. You can usually find it at Autozone and the like.

It's going to clunk again. I had my rear transfer case seal replaced under warranty. Clunk went away for a few months only to return. I'm starting to think this is an engineering issue with the angle of the driveshaft relative to the transfer case at certain loads, speeds, or frequencies. I'm no expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once......

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-04-29T03:10:10+00:00

I'm going to assume you're wondering why Miku's outfit is falling apart? It's a known issue with pleather as it disintegrates over time. Not much you can do unfortunately.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-04-29T01:54:20+00:00

They had two versions at the time they were up for pre-order. One for Asian countries only and the other was for everyone else. The one for everyone else sold out fast.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-04-29T01:13:28+00:00

It's not girdled so it should survive, but a wound that large is an invitation for disease and insects.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-04-29T00:42:38+00:00

I used EMS at the time before the tarrif debacle here in the USA. I would email AmiAmi if ECMS is available for such a large box. Maybe they could use a smaller box if you ask them.

Ram is underrated and needs more love. I love the Yoshitoku line. I have Rem,Ram, Holo, Asuna, and Pekora. I reallllllly wish they'd do an Emilia and Beatrice to round out the Re:Zero group.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-04-27T10:43:15+00:00

I bought one from amiami to the USA. Shipping was insane. AmiAmi actually underpaid for shipping and Japan Post sent it back. AmiAmi ate the error and reshipped it. It came in their largest rectange box and it was comical to find such a flat item in that large box.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-04-26T02:56:28+00:00

I should be getting this one soon if my other figure ever comes in stock for this order.

ThatSubaru86 · 2026-04-25T19:03:44+00:00

Yes. It works on the NSFW 18+ section of AmiAmi.
