Merchandising! Merchandising! Where the real money from the show is made!



It's fun to take part in the cycle of consumerism, and the products are cute too.
So here's a thread to post all the figures, model kits, body pillows, and other anime paraphernalia that you have, will have, or want.

Here's some figures:

Scale - Highly detailed, and highly expensive. Coming in all sorts of sizes from 1/8, to 1/4, to 1/1 (if you're crazy), these are what people think of when you say "anime figure".

Griffon 1/8 scale

Super Deformed - Things like nendoroids. Chibi and small, perfect for you're desk. Relatively cheap, which makes it easy to drown yourself in them.

Good Smile Company Nendoroid Petite

Jointed - Poseable figures. Generally won't be as detailed as an unposeable scale, and the joints can be unsightly. Nonetheless, playing around with them can bring it's own kind of fun.

Max Factory Figma

It would take several thousand word guides to completely go over every single company, store, and product, so I won't do that. But feel free to ask any question.

Same, but with less consideration towards the latter on my end.

I wished they kept making more of the Touhou figmas. I also have way more figmas then places to put them.

One time I went out with a friend and I was looking over her shoulder at her tumblr dash on her phone and saw a nude rear end and I said "drat, that girl has a hot rear end" and then I looked closer and it was some naked japanese figure.

I was appropriately owned after that.

Nothing wrong with loving that sexy plastic rear end.

Still NRFB because I really don't really have a proper shrine shelf to place the statue and the card at the moment.

This is the only figure I have. I have a poster and a t-shirt but I'm pretty sure that's all pirate.

I've always wanted that Popuko EDM shirt

News: The Kill la kill nendos are getting rereleased. The prices on those went up insanely high on the aftermarket so that's cool

I have a few of these things.



Quickly I am eclipsing what can reasonably fit within the confines of an ikea cabinet. This goes without mentioning the boxes these things come in that I will eventually have to start throwing away.

I have been intentionally avoiding Miku stuff until I found one I couldn't do without. If you had told me my first Miku would be a racing Miku I'd have laughed at you, but then I saw and ordered this: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/321897

That's a detolf right? I need to get me one of those to fit all my Suikas and Tamamos (The upcoming nendoroid, the same casual clothes scale you have there, and soon, Berserker). That racing Miku looks good, I also considered it when it was first shown but my wallet won out.

Yeah, it's a Detolf lined with some LED strips that I also found at Ikea. It's an okay shelf, can't really beat it for the price.

Welcome to my world. I currently have an amiami order almost every month and I would have Love Live Sunshine figmas preordered if I wasn't behind on actually watching the season and therefore haven't become invested in them yet. The original 9 LL figmas killed me last year. Took over a year to collect them all.

poo poo, if I get Syaoran, I'll have to somehow acquire Sakura and Tomoyo...

I held myself to just Nico & Maki, and Sunshine-wise, just Dia, Riko, & Chika. I only have so much shelf space (and money). Also, you should watch Sunshine, it's good (a better anime than OG s1, for sure).




The NicoMaki figmas are perhaps my best fig purchases ever

Mm, I wish I had restraint. Big orders for the next 3 months. Though I can usually stop myself if the price is unreasonable like the new Samus figma

Nendo update: I ordered Yukari to go with the upcoming Reimu that I will also buy



Comes with lots of stuff and has a really subtle pink color I didn't notice in the promo shots. 5/5

I am a terrible Figma fan. They're just really cool toys. Hey, I like that character, oh, there's a figma, five minutes later I've ordered the drat thing. I just have this awful collector bug. I'm a bit more picky about Nendoroids though, I only really get those if the style fits particularly well.

I like Revoltech things as well, got some cool robots too. And model stuff, although I have to stick to the easier ones like Pokemon. And speaking of Pokemon, a ton of plushies. I just really like them. Current fave is a big cuddly Slowpoke. Heck, plushies of all sorts of things from games and stuff, Monster Hunter monsters and the like. Also someone linked a Koromaru on Twitter the other day and I'd pre ordered one five minutes later.

e: ha, it just occurred to me that Saber is going to end up in the three figma club soon with Miku and Aigis. Hell, I've got four dang Mikus and that's just Figmas. Two Black Rock Shooters as well, now I think about it. It's me, I am the Miku fan. Thinking about it, my first ever anime merch thing was a Miku. Some character designs I just really like I guess. Got a whole bunch of Danboards and Nyanboards too.

Take a nendoroid from 2011, keep the mold exactly the same, add no new accessories, change the skin paint and add some flowers.
