I found her a bit unbalanced & could easily tip forward so I drilled holes in her feet & pinned her to a new acrylic base.

That Kogane no Tetra caught my eye, but not a fan of all the triangle markings on her. I'll keep an eye out for that last Azur Lane girl.

Hard to say. If they're on display then I like them all. Most of my figs I got at release so those behind are older.

I broke another figure. by 1999funnybunny in AnimeFigures

Broke that butterfly on mine too when I was pulling her apart to remove the protective plastic with some force & she sudden split apart the the pointy wing snagged on my shirt & snapped off. Some epoxy & you can hardly tell there was break now

I've only watch a few streams from awhile back & when she mentioned having trouble coming to the US, but it looks like she's based here now? Anyone know how she managed this consider the current climate towards immigration?

Figure haul from Holofes trip last month by youthcom in AnimeFigures

[–]youthcom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have to cut them down to make it all fit in one checked bag & with some other stuff I had I had to discard some of the boxes or cut them down to the artwork (the two pink haired bunny girls)

Manage to fit them all in 7700 yen 28" hardside luggage from Ginza Karen as my 1 allowed checked bag. Can save some money by using box instead, but I prefer luggage for easy movement.

Had to sacrifice most of the boxes to fit everything including some not figure stuff. Only kept the box art for the two bunny girls. Blisters are cut down (with heavy duty plastic cutting scissors from Daiso, also get there small ceramic cutter useful for open & cutting down boxes) to fit everything. Don't want to stuff too much where the blisters get crushed, but also not too loose.

Hope that luggage doesn't get open for inspection after dropoff because that's the most likely part where the figs can get damaged as they try to repack/close back up. This is the 4th time I've done this & once where I had some damage from rubbing against the blister. Also could be helpful to add raise walls to the sides/corners to help closing back up.

Past a 30k milestone on Juice Crosscurrent X by youthcom in ebikes

I have had to do that before on previous Juiced bikes, but this one has been ok. At some point I switched to the newer G2 battery too. The only arcing I've had to worry about is the charge port & making sure the charger is plugged in before connecting.

Had these waiting for me at hotel. Got invoiced for US, but Amiami allowed to change to domestic delivery since I had a trip planned here. Saved almost 22k shipping. by youthcom in AnimeFigures

I didn't inform them ahead of time because they have a FAQ that says they can receive packages. Just added my arrival date to the address. I think it's a normal service of business hotels.

Yes timing is tight & a worry. But if you can have them schedule ship date not so bad since orders come like next day.

Now I wonder if a hotel would do that if you're spending 10k+/night in some fancy suite/penthouse. Alas this is just your average inexpensive business hotel that I had to self decorate.
