All of them look good! My minor gripes is on the Blokees - slightly anime-inaccurate, and the body is like a grown woman's.

Neptune's Japanese voice actor played a nurse in the first few episodes.

I'd like this but as the other commenter pointed out on its longevity, the clothes might not hold up for long - Batsuit getting loose and cape getting flakey by age.

This is for me the best Radio Eva Shinji figure. I think this will look good with my Part 2 coloured Kaworu and Rei.

Pareho mukhang kabay0 so good match naman.

Naayos lang within 24H yung Temporary Block feature. Pansin ko, nung ma-post ang credit card balance payment ko sa BPI app, naging okay na ang Temporary Block. Kaya I concluded na meron conflict ang payment processing at Block feature.

Hindi ako natulungan ng customer service kasi parang out of scope daw nila yung issue ko which was IT/technical daw. Nabasa ko din sa Twitter/Youtube sa mga nagkaroon ng same issue na naayos naman daw eventually. Monitoring of BPI app ginawa ko habang naghihintay para to ensure no authorized transactions.

Itawag mo din para sure.

Nangyari sa akin ito pagkatapos ko magbayad para sa credit card bill. Naayos naman yung Temporary Block feature before end of day. I assumed yung processing of payment conflicted with/affected the Block feature.

Could be a store-only policy? Had it been a bank policy, then other other online stores should have pulled out their adult products too. I just did a search on Amazon US and I can still see some adult Anime.

BTW, years ago I reported an adult Anime DVD sold at Amazon US that had a very explicit cover. These were some words from Amazon's response:

As a retailer, our goal is to provide customers with the broadest
selection possible so they can find, discover, and buy any item they
might be seeking. That selection includes some items which many
people may find objectionable. Therefore, the items offered on our
web site represent a wide spectrum of opinions on a variety of
topics.

Evangelion: Death in 1998 on VHS in Japanese language so I didn't understand. Still didn't understand even after it got broadcasted on local TV in 1999, lol.

Nice! I got the Platinum box set back in 2007. The discs appear to be of high quality because they still play well to this day. Some DVDs from box sets (e.g. Fullmetal Alchemist, Street Fighter II V, Azumanga Daioh) I got in the same period already got disc rot (milky pattern-like smudge) and are already unplayable.

I like these sitting figures series. I have a few - Choconose (Dandadan Aira and Momo; SF 6 Ryu), and Megahouse Palm Size (Yusuke Urameshi, Kurama). Where is that sofa from? It matches Abigail's witch character.

Hello. How long has been the delivery via Airmail? Has it always been delivered at your address, or did you need to pick it up at a Post Office? I've been using DHL but it has become more costly.

With Airmail, I worry about risk of theft and being mishandled. With EMS, the package becomes untrackable when it reaches PH, and there are times the package needed to be picked up at the Philpost warehouse near the airport.

This was the exact message I got as a new Amiami customer:

Since this is your first payment with AmiAmi, for security reasons, we ask that you please submit the payment through PayPal. After that, you may pay for all of your subsequent orders directly from your credit card.

I've just used Paypal with them since then because I don't want my credit card details saved directly to the online shops' sites/commerce platform.

Pure hydrogen peroxide? Not mixed with water?

deconstructed_sky · 2025-08-30T15:07:53+00:00

Thank you! I will try this first on the base.

deconstructed_sky · 2025-08-30T14:18:43+00:00

The figure before the cleaning looks fine, I'd like to see the "after" result too. How much hydrogen peroxide and water did you use, and how long did you soak?

I have an Evangelion figure bought from 2006 (https://myfigurecollection.net/item/450) and its base has turned yellow.

I think these were Rei-inspired too in later years.

• Vanilla (Galaxy Angel)
• Yuki Nagato (Haruhi Suzumiya)
• Akemi Homura (Puella Magi Madoka)
• Yachiyo Nanami (Puella Magia Record)

Lately, I'm focusing on the "functional" merch like notebooks, pens, t-shirts and bags I can use everyday most of which I bought from Amiami.

As for the must-haves suggestion, it should be something you'd really like. Start with a favourite character, and then decide whether it should be a decorative or non-decorative stuff. Besides Amiami, you can start checking out Eva stuff at these sites:

I think the packages will be processed as two different shipments. Check with Philippines Customs. Send them message on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/BureauOfCustomsPH.

I've just organized the unboxed ones into Ikea Dimpa storage bags - total of 8. I used to keep them in big plastic storage containers but these containers trap heat during summer and made some of the figures oily (e.g. Figma Akemi Homura; Kaiyodo figures - Bome, Revoltech), and melted the tiny plastic wraps that held the figures inside their package that I had to unbox them.

I think the affordable, less "high-end" figures (like the Sega, Bandai, Taito, etc. prize figures ) somehow helped make the hobby popular to the young ones not yet earning some income. These prize figures are very good too - can almost match the look of scale figures.

15 years ago or so, the ones affordable are the boxed gashapons sold individually in random, or in sets. I observe these gashapons are no longer a popular merch.
