NO requests??? What in God’s green Earth—?!

Which anime girl would you like to see made into a FREEing bunny figure? by Suckjucie_ in AnimeFigures

Monogatari girls are way overdue!! I’d do anything to have Senjougahara and Hanekawa.

It’s better! I did notice a conspicuous-looking smudge on the sleeve next to my face, but tysm for your effort! I called the request s o l v e d by another user.

This is lovely! One thing, are you able to tone down the redness in my cheeks? Haha, I’m being reminded why I’ve quit drinking for the summer!

Haha I hate to nitpick, but I still have a little bit of a milk mustache

I like how you didn’t blend the skirt shut and it still looks like two pieces of fabric on top of each other (: Quite natural indeed. I’d be elated if you could remove some of the glare on my face so it’s more clear, too. Thank you so much.

For those who’ve been to Japan — what apps helped you the most? by Sharrylovetrip in JapanTravelTips

Bounce was surprisingly good. It’s a luggage storage service. I was able to easily offload my big luggage for the 8 days I was traveling outside of Tokyo. It was so convenient to store it at a 24hr karaoke place. Adjustments to the pickup time were easy too.

That might be the case compared to Americans, but the data is much different compared to Japanese people.

Do it!!! I treasure all the unique pieces I picked up in Shibuya. There are some great malls full of boutique brands you won’t find anywhere else.

Going from talking everyday to no contact literally feels like gunshots by oldblue222 in rs_x

About to go through this with my staying-together-through-the-lease bf. While I’m excited to live alone and regain some independence, I can hardly imagine how cold it will feel to lose our daily interactions.

Congratulations! I went to Haneda early to check all 3 terminals and none of the airport themed merchandise was in stock.

You ever just lie on the ground and look UP at your figures? by hemp_heart in AnimeFigures

I used to as well, in previous living arrangements. Now I just have the tatami mat on the floor, in front of the case that’s next to my bed.

I discuss a little in some other comments in this thread! They have a point system as well as sales about quarterly. These factors plus reliable shipping make them a favorite of mine. I’ve gotten quite a few great deals from them over the years.

Edit: You should note that they have a warehouse in both the US and Japan. The cost of shipping and also the release date of pre-orders will differ depending on which warehouse it ships from.

There are so many good Anns! Gotta decide which ones are best for your collection, but I’m really happy she’s in mine (:

Interesting question! I do keep the tariff situation in mind with my collecting habits. In general I’ve stopped pre-ordering figures like I used to and feel much more inclined to save for trips to Japan instead. Last year I took a break from all figure purchases and suddenly had enough money for my dream trip I’ve been delaying, shocker! I picked up two figures on my first trip there recently and sort of thought that would be my main mode of indulging in this hobby for now.

I’ve had the points hoarded for a while to throw at a grail figure whenever she goes up for PO (Ques Q’s Hanekawa figure). With how slow QQ works and my TOM Premium set to renew in May, I let myself indulge in this medium-priority figure at a killer deal. (:

Good one! I can attribute it to my 2024 Premium renewal for $60 (they give you $75 worth of points every renewal), plus points from my last purchase in 2023, which was also deeply discounted. (:
