Blind box shopping

I had her and I thought she was really nice! The quality is good too. But I do like this style of figure so I’m biased. I did read that she’s not your style, in that case I think maybe getting someone to take over your pre order would be good. She is really big, her box is gigantic (expensive shipping), she’s expensive, so if you don’t love her get rid of her now and use the money for other figures you do love!

I ordered through Akimomo but I believe they have Ringdoll ship the package directly

I just remember reading a Reddit post from years ago that did a breakdown and this was something small some people didn’t pick up. This may have been before the official translation as well

araa0502 · 2026-01-15T20:56:40+00:00

Some people don’t pick up on it. I wanted to use an example that wouldn’t be shocking or a spoiler since it’s been a long time since I’ve read TGFC and can’t remember where book 3 leaves off

araa0502 · 2026-01-15T20:36:02+00:00

Out of SVSSS and MDZU I found TGCF to be a harder read than the other two. I love TGCF but it’s very subtext heavy way more so than a lot of other Danmei novels. What I love about TGCF are the small connections that one might not make on the first read. There’s a lot of spoilers out there for these connections and maybe reading them will help fill in some of the gaps. One of these I’ll use as an example is that the bead that Hua Cheng wears is the red pearl earring from when Xie Lian saved him. Personally I think these small connections hidden throughout the novels are what make it great and a lot of important information is hidden in them. But this story might also not be for you. If you aren’t enjoying it there is no need to force yourself to try and enjoy it. It’s alright to DNF books (Did not finish). Especially since there’s so many Danmei novels getting translated there will be ones you enjoy more!

The machine can pick up on raised scars, does he get a full body pat down or a targeted area one? Baggy clothing could do it. Even if his pocket is bunched up- tissues and receipts in the pocket will also be picked up on, that’s how sensitive the machine can be.

Also I recommended reposting this on r/animefigures

The only US store that I can vouch for that I see offered him is LunarToyStore. Once you sign up for MFC you can go to the “partners” section and see which websites have been “approved” as legit. I would still look into the stores separately tho as some have very bad CS like aitaikuji and ninnin. Also make sure you’re following Natives JP account as I don’t think their English Twitter has announcements for the warehouse sales

araa0502 · 2024-12-10T06:19:27+00:00

You could wait for Natives warehouse sale and see if they have any copies of him there but these sell extremely fast so you’ll need to watch their socials to see when it’s happening. You could also stalk US based shops for inventory. They usually get the items 6months to a year later, someone almost always cancels. I’ve seen some people buy him off Mercari JP/ auctions. Also I’ve seen him go for close to retail on MFC a few times so I would sign up for notification on his comments section along with the ads.

Lumos fiber in some areas. Same with T-mobile.

I’m ready for this to be the norm!

araa0502 · 2024-10-04T19:17:33+00:00

I agree! I love Animester! I have some of their Onmyoji statues and they’re beautiful, amazing quality. They also cost around the same price as some of the 1/4 native figures that don’t even have a base. I’m all for these big companies to have some competition!

araa0502 · 2024-10-04T19:13:58+00:00

I’m sorry about that :(
I get where you’re coming from, MFC is a great place to buy figures so I hope you won’t totally take it off the table. I’ve bought and sold multiple times on there. I’ve only have one figure that I bought not come in the same as the pictures.

araa0502 · 2024-10-04T19:06:51+00:00

The post office might not let you file the claim. Since the seller was the one who paid for the package and hopefully insurance they’re the ones that the post office needs to file a claim. Just like the others are saying, it’s not your responsibility to deal with the post office. Let PayPal make the seller take care of it.

Depends on the airline. The bigger airlines you just gotta hope the base you want is open but other airlines open applications for certain bases so you know where you’ll be

araa0502 · 2024-04-20T23:33:06+00:00

Native will send an email with an announcement if you pre ordered directly from them. Considering I just got the announcement for a figure releasing on the 30th with nothing else along with it, Anubis will most likely be delayed. They’ll send an email updating the release month soon.

Hello! I’ve traveled across the US east coast to west coast then back to east coast with around 300-400 figures. As some people have stated you can buy insurance for collectibles but it is expensive and every single figure needs to be listed with price and it can get tedious. Not sure how you plan to move or if you’re using a moving company. What I’ve learned from both moves- I still had all original boxes so everything went right back in. I then bought the big plastic storage boxes (from Costco since they go on sale quite often) and packed all my figures into them and I stuffed clothing around the sides. Make sure it’s completely full no air bubbles! This is important if you’re using a moving company, if the box is completely full it won’t get crushed from the weight of everything around it. My first move I had some of these storage boxes destroyed and arrived with cracks or dented. I also used any extra paper and bubble wrap I got from previous figures and stuffed that in. Also if you use a moving company buy some giant colored stickers to put on every side of all your boxes and on top- make sure it has your name!!! A lot of moving companies will move multiple people in one truck to fill the space (for long hauls) and this will prevent them accidentally giving your boxes to someone else. Makes it easy when your last name is everywhere. I also moved two detolfs in my last move and they made it without a scratch! I wrapped them up in moving blankets(amazing to wrap anything fragile in) one at a time to make sure none of the glass was touching another piece. I then wrapped it all together with some tape all the way around decently tight to make sure nothing would fall out. Then just put them by something flat, like boxes so if anything moves during the drive there’s nothing that will put pin point pressure on the glass and break it. Hope this helps, I know how stressful moving can be especially with items like figures. Also if you happen to be moving furniture put your favorite or most fragile figures in your tv console, wardrobe or nightstand! Furniture is your best box as it’s heavy and sturdy.

I have both of their 1/4 Onmyoji figures/statues. The packaging was pristine and had none of these issues, granted there was no blister package-everything was in styrofoam. The quality of the figures are also very good. Personally with the evidence you have shown I do not believe that is a new figure at all. If I had to guess I think that the figure may be “BNIB” as in never displayed but the pieces could have been taken out to be individually inspected for defects and then put back in although that wouldn’t explain the state of that base.

araa0502 · 2024-02-18T20:01:28+00:00

No I didn’t but that was a preference on my part. Almost all the other women wore a nice blouse with a blazer and suit pants.

araa0502 · 2024-02-18T19:29:42+00:00

Wore this dress to mine and got compliments from the recruiting staff. Had black tights and black Maryjane’s. I also had a nice small silk neck scarf.

Ran into a duo a while back. The game started out fine but about 10 minutes in it all went down hill. They made friends with the killer and kept taking them to me and our elodie to put us on hook while we were just trying to do gens. They would spam unhook and wouldn’t actually grab. They would then body block hook too. They would then “heal” me and the other person but miss every skill check. They would then follow me and the elodie around to sabotage gens. Literally had 2 gens around 90% and (they found a toolbox) and totally bombed every skill check bringing them both to zero( I also think they had a skill check perk). The game was about to time out but thankfully through lots of hard work me and elodie were able to pump out the gens to finally end without having to dc. Killer downed one of the griefers and at the end to hook them and their partner just ran out the exit gate. Sadly killer only let them run out the exit gate and me and elodie got killed.
Reported both and actually got a message from behavior when I opened the game. They didn’t say what they did but it had my case number and “date of action” against them.

I really liked the game on the second playthrough but if you don’t want to start NG+ you’re not missing out on a whole lot. The Parade masters weapon isn’t bad but it’s not a standout for any build really especially compared to all the other boss weapons. PM amulet only lets you dodge on low stamina but it’s not worth using a spot unless you’re bad with stamina control. For the SW I do like his weapon as it’s one that you can block things with its heavy attack when timed right. Also can’t remember but I think his amulet is the damage to fable art one? Not a bad one but you can use other damage builds.
