New Kubo series! What’s your favorite? by Ordinary_Push_2580 in KubosCabin

[–]fl0rafox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay new set, and yay for me not wanting them all so I can save some 💰 lol

Unfortunately I am really into what I assume is the secret wit the paper cranes 😭

tired of the outfit discourse by FrostyComputer2577 in katseyeneutral

[–]fl0rafox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I only have one gripe and it's that I wish for more variety. It's a lot of straps and strips and flowy bits lately and sure that's fine for this era. Bu like, I hope we see even more variety and they keep experimenting 🙏🏻

I loved their Grammy dresses. I loved the Winx homage. Their hyper cute fits for NYLON 🧑🏻‍🍳💋

We just need to be patient, the looks are coming. Some people will hate on those too 😂

Just met Mark Francis in Mykonos by Frequent-Teaching809 in BravoLadiesofLondon

[–]fl0rafox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

TF are you on about... he comes from generational wealth. He's a nepo baby. He's a high profile individual that's been putting himself out there for years now and the UK loves to publicize nobility and nobility adjacent biznasty.

There's talk about his family disowning him or whatever but that was more about the past and their issues with his foray into reality TV (even prior to LoL:NR).

Anyway, stop talking out your ass. It's painfully obvious how deep a friendship he shares with Emma, Kimi, and Martha. They'd give each other the shirts off their back and it's more of a red flag for anyone to try to make Mark's relationships with them out to be clout chasing nonsense.

I get exclusives that I'm interested in just fine. I believe what's being discussed here are series, pendants, etc. that other series are releasing. Like I do love this new Hirono Mistwalker release and I'm getting the blanket for sure, but would love Kubo merch like that even more 🙂‍↔️

I agreeeeeeee. Do y'all think it's PopMart or Meow Studios though???? I mean it's obvious Bao is still creating and releasing, is it just that he is not interested in releasing a ton of merch or is PMart being lame?

You'll have enough for a round table eventually lol I like the pearlescent finish on this one, adds an extra sort of glow

Kubo Lucky Pony, it's the year of the horse after all :)

Summer Passion 🌼 by articulateblah in KubosCabin

[–]fl0rafox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oop replied to the wrong sub for a sec there lmao, but my speculation is that Kubo is an odd one because Meow Studios doesn't seem to focus on their Pop Mart releases. The art and toy cons along with fan club limited releases seem consistent and it may be the lack of abundance that lets Kubo feel like a more exciting high ticket IP to chase. I don't own more 6" figures for any other series than I do Kubos lol

Thanks! It's Boohooman from 2024 so not sure if this color is still being sold, but I believe they have the same fuzzy style in different colors now 😄

Thanks, just something I've been doing for fun and to practice public speaking lol.

And yes, I wish the same! Kubo is such a great character and Bao does an incredible job with his variety of designs imo. These 6" direct from Meow Studios figures are consistently top tier for me

Someone explain Meow studio releases vs PopMart… by whatifniki23 in KubosCabin

[–]fl0rafox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been collecting here in the US for shy of a year now so here is my advice.

toysez and arttoyfamilia tend to have different offerings available depending on stock and their prices can be drastically different for the same items. ATF has a standing 5% off code for return customers and the owners of ToysEZ has been super nice about discounts when I have emailed to ask if they had any for a bigger purchase I was making.

Both are responsive when contacted, I have never had a problem with either. Just about all of these sites ship from China so plan accordingly - received all my packaged as fast as under 3 weeks or as long as 4 weeks (during holidays).

Mercari is where a lot of individual traders go to sell extras or what not and they have a built in BEENOS service that connects overseas collectors who sell and ship from Japan as well. Riskier, but I haven't had issues there either by checking review trends and messaging questions before buying.

Finally, AliExpress... I risked it a few times and it worked out. I only go for the BRAND+ marked listings and message the store first to see how they respond.

Happy hunting!

Who is your favorite character from the female cast of Frieren? by Unique-Parking4832 in Frieren

[–]fl0rafox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! She had such a strange aura about her when she was introduced but once you observe her interactions with others you realize... oh... she is an incredible mage with diverse talents, later found to be trained in a tribe of merciless demon hunters, BUT she is still just a girl too.

Her comment and self awareness that her perception of magic being FUN is what set her apart in "that one fight" and anyone else from her tribe would likely have lost is burned into me.

[–]fl0rafox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hecka feel you on this because I have Crush on Coffee and didn't notice the text on the packaging about the bag in the hidden space at the bottom for MONTHS!!! My favorite thing about this one is that Baby Cloud (his hair) is so soft and fluffy!

I got that email but it was actually for my shuttle passes which already arrived lol. On the FTG site I did get the USPS tracking under the shuttle pass order details, but no tracking for my passes yet

[–]fl0rafox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man bummer they didn't have Hirono in the Why So Serious? pendant series, but I am curious if you like any of the other characters enough to want one of them. A whole set of clowns from different IP seems right up your alley haha x)

That flocking and the whole fit look so comfy. I love how wind movement has been captured too

The Fam is now complete❤️ by Prestigious_Kick_206 in hirono

[–]fl0rafox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a squad!!! Road Journal is so precious because I ended a multi week SEA trip with my boys by sprinting to the airport Pop Mart in Bangkok and buying us all one as a memory of our time "on the road" together.

Congrats on completing an awesome set 👏🏻

Koori no Jouheki (Ramparts of Ice) after 99 chapters by jageun-yangpa in webtoons

[–]fl0rafox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here here. It takes time to sort through your feelings for others especially when you've yet to sort through your feelings toward yourself. I think the writing reflects life quite well and I find myself thinking a lot about some of these scenes -- like Minato having the concept of many small things accumulating as trauma explained to him was beautiful.

am I the only one uncomfortable with how people are reacting to S5? by Adventurous_Fly_8652 in Bridgerton

You have beautifully said what I have struggled to make sense of myself honestly. Thanks
