>all that GuP
>>6246054
You got something against tanks, son?
>>6246068
I've got nothing against em, I just have zero interest in it. I'm more of an idolfag and magical girl type, shit taste yeah ok, it's just I like the bright colors and frills. I'd kill for a Kinomoto Sakura cu-poche
>>6246121
Not the anon you are replyig to, but I understand that everyone have different preferences/tastes, but still you can get the Yugi-oh poches and the Madoka poches for your Maho Shoujo fix and the Idolmaster poches for your fix of idols, this line have girls for everyone.
That little nazi looking girl is adorable.
Makes me wish I didn't hate this series so much.
>>6246151
I wish they would release some girls from some good magic girl series.
Madoka was alright but I haven't been able to take it seriously after seeing how big a ripoff it is of other shows.
>>6246232
Your entire post is bad and it gives me pain
Post your collections
>>6246151
Oh yeah I forgot about the idolmaster ones, but they just don't really do much for me. I think my favorites from this line so far have been the friends
>>6246696
Nice collection, anon
What would be your "You Knoe" character that you want to be made in this line?
>>6248103
I would die if they made a Manaka Laala cu-poche, I already have the co-des of her but I really want something that's actually articulated and right now cu-poches are my favorite line. I'd love it if they made a Red Riding Hood cu-poche friend to continue with the fairytale theme, and that I could put next to my POP Wonderland Akazukin. Both of my knoes are probably never gonna happen but I can dream.
>>6248251
Nendo co-des were a mistake since the begining
>Red Riding Hood cu-poche friend
I approve of this
Is 68$ CAD/50$ USD too much to pay for Alice? I found a shop not too far from where I live with her in stock, so I would only have to pay a few dollars for shipping.
>>6250502
I think that it is an OK price for her, so you will have her right now and not have to wait until she arrives if you get her from amico or any other shop
>CAD
So, you are in Canada? if so, I have heard is more frequent that you get hit by customs taxes/charges there with your packages, so if you get her locally you will avoiding that risk
>>6250516
Okay, thanks. Turns out they ship free over 40$, so that's nice.
>>6250516
I just ordered her! I'm really happy the payment went through, since I'm trying to use up a prepaid card I got as a gift and it wouldn't work on amiami or Manda.
I'm really excited!
>>6250556
Congrats
Post some pics when you get her
>>6248103
Kemono Friends. The series is perfect for Cupoche. I don't really care about the Serval Nendoroid but I'd buy her, Kaban and all 5 PPP Cupoches. That 7 right off the bat!
Can't wait for this to bin so I can get it.
>>6251024
I don't care for the series, but it will be nice to have another option for a maid body for cu-poches
>>6250999
>Kemono Friends
trips of truth tells me that this could be a good line, but if they are going to do the PPP girls I hope that they release the penguin body too
>>6251413
pingu cu poche ?
what sorcery is this ...
>>6251470
Is a extra body show last year IIRC, but haven't been released yet
>>6250999
why are their genital areas so red?
Are they actually 20 year olds posing as lolis amd have razor burn from needing to shave their chewbacca-thick asian pubes?
>>6251513
It's fanart, also they're not lolis
>>6250999
I would kill for an alpaca cu-poche
>>6245831
Is there an English version?
>>6252170
Of what?
>>6250999
Anon, please. I'm already going to be emptying out my wallet for the Nendos and Figmas. And you want to add Cu-Poche to my net loss as well? Come on, man.
>>6252208
Not him, but seeing as how popular is Kemono Friends is I can see Koto jumping into the cashcow wagon to try to get some money from the fans, GSC and MF have already announced/showed the nendo & figmas, I can see some nendo petits down the line, regular nendos, plushes, a shitton of game prizes and much more
I love cu-poches but they are so goddamn loose. I tried posing Anne on top of my dresser but her head fell out and fucking bashed onto the ground. Now her head has a big spot of missing paint. I feel like a damn idiot but I'm used to joints being tighter.
>>6248103
I'd kill for a Shinji
>>6248251
I'd love if they did pripara cu-poches!
>>6248103
It'll never happen, but a man can dream
>>6250999
>>6253409
すごい!
>>6248103
Fran Madaraki, 2B/A2, Zero from Drakkengard 3, Peridot and Pearl from Steven Universe, Koume from Idolmaster, Alpha from Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Anybody from Nichijou.
>>6253216
Who are those cuties?
>>6253497
They're a unit called 'individuals', from iDOLM@STER CG: Starlight Stage in the current event '∀NSWER'
From left to right (previous picture, right to left in this picture):
Morikubo Nono, Hayasaka Mirei, Hoshi Syoko
>>6254637
>>6253216
I want a Love Laika poches
>>6250561
She's so cuuuute
Dressing her took a few minutes but I love her so much
>>6255072
She is best friend poche, we need a extra face set soon enough
But she can use faces from other poches meanwhile.
>>6255072
she really is quite kawaii desu ne.
>>6254919
Needs more Inkling poches
>>6254919
Let's be real here, seeing how Kaede is the first CG girl from iM@S to be poched, who do you think is next?
They didn't go with any of the main characters from the anime for the first CG poche, could it be time for CUTE SACHIKO?
>>6250999
It will be interesting to see some Kemono poches being made, I kind of like to see the Owls, Lion, Wolf, Shoebill and Tiger being made
>>6255937
Being real, I second >>6254919 for Love Laika poches, along a Ranko poche and Mika & Rika Jougasaki
Is Belle going to be re-released anytime soon?
I see Cherie and Anne everywhere, but not Belle
>>6256485
She is in backorder on HLJ, you can try to get her from there, I guess she could have a reissue in the future
Those huge feet are a big turn off.
>>6256761
As opposed to Nendos and their stumps? At least Poches can display without the stand.
The extra set of Sailor Uniform & Sailor One-piece Dress are arriving at stores
>https://twitter.com/kotobukiya_tkw/status/847326940998414336
>>6258878
>>6256761
They aren't that big on the character ones, it's just the shoes that make them look big. I think it's a cute cartoony look
>extra face sets are typically released close after friends release
where's my alice face set, kotobukiya
>>6259888
I want one for her too. I wonder if they'll do a ponytail like with the other ones.
I'm hoping she'll get twintails. I love twintails.
>>6259888
Your trips of truth doesn't lie, a extra face set for Alice have been expected to be announced since a while and so far we have got nothing
>>6260030
They probably will include a ponytail, but a twintail hair part would be a nice chance in a extra set
What kind of expessions would be good for a extra face set for Alice?
>>6260096
I was kind of thinking stuff like this. She's got soft eyes, so I thought she'd have some soft expressions. Third face is because of the bunny ears
I have Rei's cupoche and her smiling faceplate won't fit. Is there anyway of fixing it without asking Koto or AmiAmi for a replacement? I don't mind too much, but might want to switch it in the future.
>>6261358
Pics?
>>6260096
I know I'm autistic, but I didn't realize there were that many expressions.
>>6260165
First face looks good, not sure about the others
>>6261358
Maybe if you try usual trick of using a Hair dryer or dip the the back of the face on hot water (not boilng) to make more bendable
>>6258878
>>6258879

Seems like the theme this year is for companies to announce stuff that is way more interesting than what they are actually doing.
Hilarious.
>>6255072
Alice is adorqble. The weather is nice in my area. I should take a picture or two.
>>6248103
This boy. Jing: King of Bandit. The artist even made chibi versions for the videogames that could translate easily.

Who knows?
>>6261632
>it's something actually kind of cool
>could be legit but it's April fools
They should've picked something more out there, Freddy and Jason already have bishoujo statues, so cu-poches doesn't seem too far off.
also
>tfw no board friend
>>6261812
This, so there is hope
>>6261993
>Freddy and Jason extra set for your poches will come with clothes and accessories like the machete and hockey mask or the hat and the razor glove, so you can enect alll sort of cute horror scenes,
Damn it, Kotobukiya! you will kill my wallet

I can't believe the penguin body is still not fucking ready.
>>6264133
Fuck!
Is there a way to complain about this with them??
>>6264138
Send them a message on their twitter account (@Koto_okaG) and they have an account on MFC, so send them request there too
So we can get that penguin body soon

I could be wrong, but I believe we'll be getting a Red Riding Hood poche, which is wonderful
>>6273989
I find it funny that Obitsu 11cm also had original Alice and RRH dolls. The third one was Princess Kaguya.
>>6273989
>they're actually doing it
HOLY FUUUUCK
finally, I've been wanting this since Alice came out. I'm so glad they're doing that. I just really hope they come out with Alice's extra face set around the same time
>>6273989
>That hood
No doubt, that's her. I want her already
I'm going to pray to god that akazukin either comes with a mini wolf or some wolf ears

>>6251413
>>6251474
Whelp!, I guess we aren't getting this penguin now.
>>6276800
So they're saying they don't have any plans at all to release it, or are they saying it's delayed indefinitely?
>>6245831
When does Koto usually announce exact release dates? I have Takane pre-ordered.
>>6277740
I'd hope it's just the latter. Maybe we'll see something by the next WonFes.
>>6276615
Who are these characters and why are two of them wearing Whoopi Goldberg's nipples?
>>6277740
>>6277875
I guess this proto is in a limbo until Koto decides to release it or cancel it, because based on that reply, there isn't no confirmation that it's cancelled
>>6277880
>He doesn't knoe those characters
>>6273989
Nendofag here.
If they are doing it i might have to get myself a cu-poche. I always wanted a red-riding hood doll, and the Alice one is super cute too.
>>6248103
>>6277880
3 italiboos and a history nerd
So I stopped at Toys'r'us today and they have a line called Evi Love. I bought the friends pack that had two dolls for $6. I tried the clothing and accessories on Alice. The accessories and shoes fit well, but the clothing is big. I'll probably take the dress apart and make a new one.
>>6277839
They sometimes tweet about their products arriving to stores, I usually check HS' release list to see if any Kotobukiya merch have a release date
Regarding Takane, they have already show a few pics of the sample figure of her, but HS doesn't have a release date in their list, but I guess she will be release on time
>https://twitter.com/Kotobukiya_akb/status/852383411821977600
>https://twitter.com/koto_okaG/status/852160819458527233
>>6277740
>>6277875
I have to said that this proto is now in a limbo hell, until Koto get their shit together and decided to finally release it, like anon said in >>6277966
>>6279243
Alice a cute, A CUTE!!
>>6279243
Maybe a few wash cycles might shrink it a bit to fit better?
I'd be down for KemoFure poches, nanoda
Happy Easter day, pochefags!
>>6283140
Oh wow, are those real treats? How rich are you?
>>6283196
Not them, but my local T&T sells little cakes and treats like that for about 2-5$ CAD each. I assume the anon in question was probably somewhere a little nicer, but it's not like sweets will break the bank every now and then.
>>6283202
Ah, I guess it's just because I'm used to my yellow cake shaped into what resembles a bunny covered in coconut. They look really good though. What's the stuff that looks like spaghetti?
>>6279424
>>6277839
HS' have updated their release list .
Aeems like Takane will be release on the 26th.
Rejoice anon, She will be release on time
>>6283140
That reminds me. I found a place with really good desserts near me. I should really go back and buy some treats. There's also a shop that sells custom designed macarons that rotate designs daily. Though that's like, an hour drive and they sell out quick.
Cute photo opp and I get something tasty.
>>6283213
Mont Blanc? I think it's chestnut cake?
I tried to make a little circle skirt for Alice, but since she's so small it just sorta floats there
I made it into a dress. It's not great, but I'm pretty happy with this first attempt.
>>6283969
It looks cute, good job anon
I found a chair for her! I also found some (very girly and bright) furniture and props in a box of old Polly Pockets.
>>6284068
A better shot of the chair and the other things I found
>>6280637
Nah. It's like really big. The armholes pretty much go to her hips with how big it is. The doll it's from is the same height, but different proportions. But at least the accessories are a good proportion.
>>6283969 the dress looks cute. Do you have any seed beads or anything like that? Could add a bit more flair to the dress.
>>6284084
The clothes hangers are the perfect size for Poche clothes! The little pink chair in the back is too small though. The cups and glasses can't fit into the holding hands because of their shape, but the size is good.
>>6284094
I do! I have a lot of crafting stuff and fabric just gathering dust, but Alice is motivating me to get back into sewing.
>>6284127
Dropped image
>>6284127
I do a lot of crafting too. I even make resin jewelry. I have tiny cabochon molds that are made for making nail art stuff, but a perfect size for if I want to make cu-poche accessories.
Are these better than Nendoroids? or is this like an Apples to Oranges comparison?
>>6284196
I personally like them more since they're more versatile thanks to being jointed and making a magnetic base, so you can pose them without a waist/peg stand.
Nendo has the advantage of license volume and more non-human characters.
Is anybody trying for outdoor photos with the nice weather? I'm trying to practice a little with the nice weather.
What's the best paint for repairing damaged poche hair? I'm looking to fix Homura's specifically
>>6284308
Ditto for me as well. I got into Poches first before inevitably coming around to giving Nendos a try.
Also, Happy Late Easter, Poche General!
>>6283969
>>6284068
>>6284129
>>6284127
The clothes looks cute, anon
It is nice that some of the accessories and furniture works with poches
>>6284133
Dude, this are some really nice resin jewelry, I'm jelly
>>6284196
You could say that is a similar figure like nendorois, they have some strong advantages over nendos, like anon on >>6284206 already said
I like both, and have a a few nendos, but since these came out, I have been come to like poches even more and been buying them more and more.
Splippery Slope of cuteness.
Also here is a video of a shopping trip to one of the Kotobukiya stores
>https://youtu.be/SXb8PxtKkdY
>>6285002
Look up 3d nail art molds and you'll find them all over ebay and aliexpress. I ended up finding mine at a swapmeet. Uv resin is great for them since they're so fast to harden under sunlight or a uv lamp. I should make some necklaces with them or something.
>>6285002
That's a great video, she's really thorough with going through the shelves and you can see a lot of the prices.
>I got both Anne and her face set for cheaper than at the physical store
feels good
>>6284518
This please. I accidentally drop-kicked Anne's head the other day when trying to change a faceplate and now there's a spot of missing paint on her hair.
>>6284518
I have a link to fix nendoroid hair but i guess they are pretty similar.
http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2011/04/04/diy-figure-repairs-part-3-scuffed-paint/
>>6285626
Thanks for the link anon.
Also they have a link for reinforcing joints with glue. What glue would work well? I need to reinforce my Alice's pegs a bit. One of her knees and a hip peg keep popping out of their socket.
>>6285651
You can also use Pledge or clear nail polish to tighten joint pegs.
>>6286038
I forgot about the clear nail polish. I've got some. Thanks anon.

>>6285060
Thanks for the info, anon
>>6282750
I wouldn't be opposed to this, but I think GSC is going to milk the series for Nendos and Figmas for a while before we get any poches.
>>6290190
GSC could milk the series pretty well with nendos, see how Kancolle, the Swordboys and the Volleyboy guys have a shitton of nendos, meanwhile with figma, MF would made 2 or 3 characters and call it a day.
>>6286038
Wanted to tqnk you anon for mentioning the nail polished. Alice's pegs are working great now.
>>6284360
I like to shoot just a bit before dusk
>>6279424
>>6283275
A few more pics for Takane
>>6284360
I like the idea of taking pics of my figures outside, but I've got a really open front yard and backyard with neighbors who always seem home. How do people do photoshoots in public places? The thought terrifies me
>>6292753
>How do people do photoshoots in public places?
That reminded me of this.
>>6292753
If anyone asks say that you hired to photograph for a website. Any normal person will just leave you be, at worst a security guard might tell you to leave depending on where you are.
>>6292753
It helps if you go with friends or family that are chill with your hobby. I have people who are fellow nerds and collectors, so we're all chill with our silly hobbies(helps whrn a bunch are cosplayers so totally used to looking ridiculous in public). I've taken photos at the park and a friend took photos of a bjd at the zoo.
I found a strip of beach between to tourist areas that's pretty quiet. So I want to go back and take some photos.
>>6292829
>photos of a bjd at the zoo
Sounds pretty cool. You should post them in the BJD thread so i can see em
>>6292871
I wish I could anon. But I haven't heard from that friend in years and can't find them anywhere on social media, and the site they had their photos on is long gone.
Is it true that the Maho poche comes with "Sieg Heil" arms? I can't seem to find any pictures.
>>6293162
>"Sieg Heil" arm
A what?
>>6292753
Just stop giving a shit about what other people think.
Tho it is good etiquette not to be in the way of other pedestrians. If not, just claim a space and shoot. If people stop and stare, look straight at them and smile. It's pretty amazing how much you can get away with just by acting confident and pretending there's nothing weird about what you're doing.
>>6293162
>>6293170
Here's mine
>>6293208
It's supposed to be her giving directions to other tanks. But I can see why people think that.
>>6293177
Creeps and Losers are as they are because they see themselves that way.
It's the difference between Chad being a douche and getting laid because he's confident and Gary being helpful and getting sneered at because he assumes he'll be rejected.
>>6293177
Seconding this. I live at college and take photos on campus all the time, and since I'm polite to anyone who passes by and act nonchalant and casual, nobody cares.
>>6267860
I was considering not getting her because of how odd her legs looked, but the rest of her is too cute to pass up. Plus I would feel bad if I got Pepperoni and no Duce to keep her company.
>>6296830
I don't think that Anchovy's legs looks bad, but yeah, you can't have Pepperoni and Carpaccio without the Duce,
Now we'll need a Carro Veloce CV-33 in scale for them

>>6296830
I was wondering, are there any Poche-scaled Pizzas or Spaghetti? Can't leave Anzio without delicious Italian food.
>>6304600
I guess that re-ment set or sylvanian families food sets could have some for italian food, right?
I believe that ebay could have some italian food miniatures from different brands
>>6304892
>>6304600
>>6304892
The Lori gourmet market from target. It's $15, has a lot of stuff, including pizza, and is the perfect size for cu-poche.
I went to Dollar Tree and found some clothing that fit Alice. I need to pin the ruffle down on the left dress to sit correctly. The other one the straps need tightened and/or I'll just make it into a skirt.
But yeah. These are good if you want some dresses that need just a bit of sewing instead of making one from scratch.

Sure thing, time flies when you're having fun
>>6307775
Wow, it sure doesn't feel like it. I would think there would've been more cu-poches for the line being 4 years old. How many nendos did the line have after 4 years?
first poche
>>6307880
i think 300-ish
>>6307880
>>6307993
Based on the GSC site the first announced nendo (#000) was on Jan 2006, for Jan 2010, they have announced/released around 100 nendos, meanwhile Kotobukiya have announced/released in this 4 years around of 73 figure releases
>Regular line: 43
>Friends: 5
>Exclusives: 11
>Extras 11 bodies and 3 Face sets
Plus all the extra sets of accessories/clothes and the Cos line of fabric clothes
Maybe not as much as GSC, but close enough.

damn I'm excited
>>6311160
I'm hyped too
Where can I find pictures from the doll show? Is there a tag on twitter or something? I'm not sure when it starts so I can't tell if I'm being impatient or not. Any idea if Kotobukiya themself will post pics?
>>6311778
at this moment, it is 09:30am in japan, the doll show begins at 11:00am, so we'll have to wait a couple of hours, I guess that Koto will post pics on their twitter account soon
I think this is the hashtag for the dollshow50
>https://twitter.com/hashtag/ds50%E6%B5%85%E8%8D%89?src=hash
Can anybody post a side-by-side comparison of the swimsuit body (male or female) with a normal sized male SHF or figma? I will shower you in praise.
>>6311849
Thanks! Tag is already getting a little active. Time to start watching it like a hawk
This was just added to MFC
>>6312031
Well, since she comes with the basket and flower hair clip I think I should give up hope that she comes with wolf ears. Looks cute but the face is too plain. I was hoping her eyes would look more excited to contrast Alice's relaxed look. Still an insta PO tho
>>6312031
I was hoping she would be a red-head and more wide-eyed. I'm kinda iffy on her. She's cute, but not what I was expecting or hoping for.
>>6312082
Her hair does look like she's a red-head though, at least to me it does.
>>6312120
Well, I meant more red than gingery, you know?
I was hoping it would have been a little closer to the color of her shawl-a little deeper red. It looks fine, I'm just biased in favour of deep red hair.
>>6312124
ahh ok I see what you mean. I think my biggest gripe is the eyes for me, but that's nothing a face set can't fix
>>6312031
She looks really cute IMHO
>https://twitter.com/koto_okaG/status/859952602531811328
>>6312076
Maybe she will come with some wolf ears, when Koto first show Alice we didn't see her rabbit ears headband, so I won't rule it out yet
>>6312082
Mostly all the art for Akazukin, depict her with blond or brown hair, never a redhead, AFAIR, but red hair on a red hood will make her too bland IMO, brown and red contrast more
At any case she is a first day PO for me, Now we need those extra face parts for Alice and Akazukin ASAP
>>6312134
Yeah. I want her to open her eyes more and look more excited to go on an adventure through the woods or play with the other poches or something. I hope she gets an extra face set along with Alice.
>>6312156
>>6312134
not the best edit, but here's kind of more towards what I was hoping for. Definitely need to look a little more excited
>>6312199
I see your point, it is somehow similar to the face that the exclusive Haruka has
But I think that her normal standard face doesn't look bad either, the issue is that with other poches they always put a normal standard face along with two other faces with more exagerated emotions (i.e. happy, angry, sad or crying face) with Alice and Akazukin as they only comes with one face, they feel kind of incompleted in the expresive department IMO, that's why they need the extra faces set or borrow faces from other poches
>>6312031
Dear god, she's absolutely adorable. I don't own any of the Poche Friends stuff but I may have to make an exception for her.
>>6312007
Pic related is what I have on hand at the moment. Domon and Billy are 145mm while Guts is 165mm.

>>6313592
I can see them making a wolf parka set in the future

Perfect size comparison pic, anon. Exactly what I was looking for, big thanks!

>>6318728
Yeah, But I'm with you that the release month for the GuP poches can't come fast enough, but I'm glad that we're going to get a complete Anzio school set of poches
I hope that we get a complete set for the St. Gloriana GS and then Pravda

>>6321449
Ah, thanks! I saw some on Manda and thought I might toss a couple pairs in my order if they would work for my Alice.
I had to get this for Misaka.
>>6323969
It will be released this month, did you order it?
>>6324469
Yeah. I actually added a bunch of cu-poche stuff to my May order at amiami. Maid body, swimsuit body, yukata set and the frog poncho.
>>6312031
She looks really cute
When is she coming out?
>>6325768
No idea, I doubt she'll be coming out this year unless we see preorders pretty soon.
>>6253497
Man, Alpha's so sweet. Man a Cu-Poche would be awesome. I'd love to have a quiet little cafe like hers one day.
>>6329372
>November
ayy, she'd be coming out exactly a year after Alice
>>6329570
ok I just did a little bit of digging, and Alice's prototype was revealed on April 28th of last year, and was released Nov 28th of said year. Akazukin's proto was revealed May 3rd, which means that she could very well be released this year.
>>6329580
That's sounds about right anon, the info on MFC back up this,So let's hope that it works in the same way with Akazukin
>>6329679
>Alice has been waiting for a best friend for long enough
>Ignoring that she already have 3 best friends now
Dino and Akazukin will be the two new members of this Friends gang
>>6329695
I liked to think that Anne, Belle and Cherie were like the three amigos of my collection, and then I got Alice and felt like while she was good friends with them, she needs a best friend or two all to her own. Dino and Alice and Akazukin will make my second trio of happy poche babies.
>>6329703
If Anne, Belle and Cherie are the Three Amigos, would Dino, Alice and Akazukin be the Three Stooges?
>>6329703
I will get Dino if they make a wolf hoodie. His scruffy looking hair would be perfect for it
>>6329703
I see want you mean with the three amigos, but I feel that Dino is part of that gang of amigos, more like the three musketeers with DIno being d'Artagnan, maybe
But I guess that is the good part of the friends poches, that we can elaborate whatever relationship we want between them
>>6329709
>would Dino, Alice and Akazukin be the Three Stooges?
Kek
>>6329718
A wolf parka set would be really cool
What is your top ranking for the released/announced Friends?
Alice>Belle>Akazukin>>>>Cherie>>>>>Anne>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dino
>>6329946
Alice=Anne>Akazukin>Belle>Cherie=Dino
Akazukin would be higher if I liked her face more, but I still like her. The only Friends I have are Alice and Anne so I'm biased towards them.
>>6329946
Alice>Belle>Akazukin=Anne>>>Cherie=Dino
I like them all, but some hit the CUTE button better than others.
>>6329946
Alice>Anne=Cherie>>Belle>Akazukin>>>>Dino
I need to see more of Akazukin to evaluate her position in my top ranking, This is affected by the fact that Alice, Akazukin and Dino doesn't have an extra face set, so we can't see how their default personality is set to see how much or less we could like them, as anon in >>6330738 mention by pushing his 'CUTE' button perception
>>6292364
CUTE. MORE. CUTE CUTE CUTE
Got my first poche a couple days ago (she's great) and tried to take a picture.
Any thoughts?
>>6334235
That's a giant pencil. Where is the eraser?
>>6334235
Cute, really cute. Only thing I probably would have changed is pulling back a little for nicer framing. The way the chair leg/back align with the edge of the frame (and is so close) is distracting.
I would also normally tell you to fix your white balance, but weirdly I kind of like this warm tone for this specific pic. It feels sort of...like a warm glow. Home-y.
>>6334235
It's a cute pic.
I've been going through a bunch of toy stuff I have saved from when I was buying stuff for monster high dolls. I found some accessories that work. Mattle had released these packs with shoes, crowns, necklaces, and purses for disney princess dolls. I need to get around to building a proper diorama.
First of all thank you all for the feedback, you're awesome
>>6334243
It doesn't have an eraser. Accessory-wise I've got some (big-ass) pencils, a pencil sharpener, an even bigger brush and a ruler.
>>6334483
Thanks! you're Alice is pretty cute too.
She looks just like the movie star she deserves to be.
My accessories and furniture so far are Sylvanian families. I was told they were in scale with Nendos but so far they're not too off-putting nearby Poches.
>>6334251
Pic realted has more space on the borders (and with a slightly different angle)
Personally i thought it had too much free space. I tried to convey the feel that it could actually be some sort of room she was in, and not only forniture at the centre of my desk.
But yeah, i need to improve my photografy.
Also thanks for the tip about lightning! do you have (if it's not asking too much) any tutorials about that?
I always wanted to try out something like that but I don't really know where to start.
Again, thanks to everyone!
>>6335144
Most stuff that scales with nendos will scale with poche since they're prett close in height. I actualky noticed that some barbie accessories work. The glasses on Alice I believe are some barbie ones I cut the stems on to fit. I had to work them a bit to fit under Alice's bangs.
I actually have several wigs (the kind made for bratzilla and so on). That I want to cut, and then make a piece that fits a poche's head sans their molded hair. Might be cute but we'll have to see how it goes.
>>6335144
Okay, so I'm not sure if you're shooting with a phone or actual camera, but either way, look for a white balance setting. This basically corrects for whatever kind of lighting you're shooting under (fluorescent, incandescent, daylight, etc) and corrects your colors so you can avoid overly yellowish or bluish tones. If your camera doesn't have this setting, you can also correct this in Photoshop (or similar image editors). You can try auto color (shift-ctrl-B), which sometimes fixes the problem by itself, or correct the colors manually (shift-B then play with the sliders). Photoshop CS2 is free now if you don't have it yet, just register an account on Adobe.com and go to downloads. They supply you with a serial number and everything.
As for framing, I mostly just meant you don't want tangents. You can google "tangents in photography" to learn more about this. For example, in your most recent photo the way Rei's finger is just touching the edge of the chair back would be a tangent. It takes a while to be able to spot stuff like this so don't worry too much for now!
To get the impression of her actually being in the room, I would probably get in even closer. I cropped your photo to simulate this. You can also print or cut out a tiny poster and put it on the wall behind her, this accomplishes a few things at the same time:
1. It tells you where the wall is so it doesn't look like an infinite white void back there
2. It further suggests that she's in a tiny room, and
3. The edges of the poster will converge in perspective so that we have a sense of where we are in this room
I shittily Photoshopped one in here, but you get the idea. Anyway, again, I like your photo, it's really cute.
>>6335236
thanks again for the compliment and even more for the advices!
I'm currently using my phone so I'll try what you suggested (thanks a lot for the shortcuts) with an image editing software. I'll check Photoshop CS2 but right now I have Gimp.
People say it's easyer to develop space rockets than to use it but I think I can handle it.
I'll look about those tangents but I suppose it's when two or more objects "touch" in the photo? anyway thanks.
And great advice regarding the posters! You're right it really gives a better sense of depth.
and your shop isn't bad imo.
I did actually try a closer look but again, I feel the first image I posted was the best. In this one it looks like she's just staring at nothing... at least to me.
and sorry for the double post but I feel all my small variations are kinda redundant, so here's a new pic.
It's her default pose on my desk so far.
That reminds me, should we expect something at Megahobby Expo?
Alice extra face plates need to be released
>>6338615
Seriously. Alice needs more then the default.
Are Poche neck joints compatible with heads meant for Obistu11 bodies? I like the look of the poche body better but I wanted a specific head that usually goes on the obitsu.
Poche friends SOL anime when?
>>6345649
After FAG ends
>>6345634
They looks nice, I hope that they do a Subaru poche and maybe Emilia
>>6345955
I don't know anything about their series but I might get the pink one because I like pink.
I want 'poche Sylphy.
>>6347445
Well, if you have say this a few days ago I would have said that it could never happen, considering that these Desktop Army figs are made by MegaHouse. But in this latest MegaHobby expo where Koto and MegaHouse attended, MegaHouse shows a collaboration with Koto with a Desktop Army fig based on Gourai, so now there is a chance for a Sylphy poche or FAG
>>6347875
They actually announced Sylphy FAG.
>>6347991
>They actually announced Sylphy FAG.
I didn't catch that, Do you have a pic of that at hand?

How much do you think she's going to go for on aftermarket?
>>6349666
>How much do you think she's going to go for on aftermarket?
My guess is that she could end up with prices around 7k or 7.5k
See how the prices for Yukari are around the same in the aftermarket, Alice is the most popular of the friends poches and this red version is really cute
On a side note here are a couple of pics for the Dress ver. of Rei & Asuka

>>6353000
Something has awoken inside of you.
>>6353000
I used to watch Parabox's doll clothing tutorial vids is relax. Playing with Poches and dolls is nice now that I have some of my own.
It's really fun and relaxing. I like to make clothes for mine when I have some spare time.

>>6353338
interesting vid
>>6353000 here. Just found out this awesome independent toy store sells pretty much the entire Calico Critter line. I don't care much for the Calico dolls themselves, but so far all of the accessories are great for poches. I picked up their kitchen set and its perfect. Even comes with an apron and some oven mitts that fit. I'll post some pictures here or on the new cu-poche thread (if it ever gets made) when I have things set up
>>6359202
please do! I really want to see how Poches interact with different kinds of furniture
>>6359202
blease. I've been thinking about getting some calico critters stuff for my cu-poches but the accessories just seem a bit too small.
There's and off brand cupoche alice. Chinese ver. It looks a bit odd, but is it worth it for $20?
>>6360091
>Bootleg Alice poche
I guess that Cu-poches are officially popular as chinese bootleggers only make fake figures from popular toylines like nendos, figmas or TFs
And yes, she looks odd, her eyes make her looks like the retarded twin of Alice
In general bootlegs doesn't worth the money because usually the plastic used is shitty or could have poisonous quemicals, but is your money anon, if go for it, report back when you get her
>>6359202
Please do, it is always nice to see pics of poches with doll furniture
I find a couple of pics of poches with SF/CC stuff
>>6360091
She looks retarded
Just get the real Alice, the friends poches get reprinted often enough that they don't cost that much.
I actually have real Poches and want to see the difference between real Alice and the Fake. And i agree, she looks too funky for my liking.
i just got some stuff from toys r us (evi love and calico critters, specifically) and i was wondering if anyone was interested in size comparisons + pics showing how well the accesories fit?
>>6361047
I bought some Evi Love stuff before too. I know some of the accessories and shoes fit. Clothing is big though.
>>6361047
I'd love to see pics
The rainy day set is quite cute, but Alice's long hair makes the hood useless :')

Yeah, that's the problem that every long hair character has to use the rainy day or the parka sets, You can work around using the back hair piece of a short hair character like in pic related, is using Anne's back hair piece, In you case you can get Cherie's extra face set that give you a blonde back piece for the ponytail, but you just don't use the ponytail and Alice could use the rainy day set without problems

Heres a size comparison for the ones i bought
The balloon accessory doesnt fit into anne's hand perfectly, so it droops a bit, but if you modify it a bit im sure you could make it less droopy when she holds it.
The ballerina leotards are a bit loose, but since theyre meant to be skin-tight on the original doll they fit better than the other evi love clothes. They also come with cute shoes, and 3 pairs of them.
The calico critters ice skating outfits ended up being my favorite, the shoes are a bit loose on anne but if you stuff a little bit of paper into the toe of them theyre nice and snug.
In total, i got 7 pairs of shoes and 7 outfits for 20 dollars (evi love dolls were on clearance). I would say it wasnt a bad deal, most of the stuff is useable, but in the future ill probably just get calico critters. They seem cuter and better made, but thats all just my opinion. Neither of them are perfect fits, so it just comes up to how much you wanna spend and what you thinks cuter.

I bought the exact same set with the ballons. You can pose it a bit so a poche holds it with both hands. The best bet is probably a rubberband around the handle or a little mountung putty to help hold it up more.

Cute!
Hey guys, I'm new to the Poche line. Are the heads really sensitive, do they fall off easily? Please give me some information about a Cu-Poche. Thinking about getting all the Friend line. :)

>Are the heads really sensitive, do they fall off easily?
In some figures, they are a bit loose, but as general rule, you should always handle carefully all your figs, you can apply a bit of nail polish or pledge to the neck joint to make more tight
Also we move out to the new thread
