The thread for figure-collectors

Forgot to mention what I think about Griffon. This image sums up my thoughts nicely:



Really, he does nice sculptures and all, but I hate how he puts the same face on his figures. He's been getting better with it lately, but when you look at his older figures, it's really apparent. It's nothing too major, just a minor annoyance I have. If I'm dishing out that much money for figures, I'd like it their faces didn't seem like they were using the same model.

I am mostly posting now because I feel guilty about forgetting to post before, and also because I am procrastinating, so I will not make this long and will post pics later while using this post to inspire some discussion. (It is midnight, so my grammar may be breaking.)

What do you guys use to buy your stuff? I usually use AmiAmi (unless HLJ or HS is having a deal on shipping).

Also, if you're looking for rare stuff (some of the GL Revoltechs are hard to find, I believe), Mandarake's your best bet (though I've never ordered from them personally, I've heard nothing but good things about them, even if their website is a little wonky). I've been searching for a TTGL Revoltech myself for a while though, and I haven't seen them anywhere... why they chose to rerelease some of the other GL ones and not TTGL, I do not know.

AmiAmi is fine. Cheap prices, items are packaged in a nice way that don't ruin the boxes if you use SAL as your shipping method, and has some nice deals every now and then. Sometimes I user 1999.co.jp or HLJ when AmiAmi doesn't have something.
