Jesus all of this mod shitposting bullshit. I'm sick of it. Just carry on like always until some shit actually happens then lose your minds. The mods are cracking down on generals because of the massive amount of shitposting. Making the general a fucking cesspool of shitposting in some kind of retarded effort to stick it to the man will just make them actually ban the fucking threads.

If you want the buyfa threads to stay shut the fuck up and stop acting like a bunch of assholes.

>call mod a retard
>30 day ban for "posting garbage outside of /b/
Literally nobody wants your shitty changes retard. If you have a problem with good generals like this, tough shit. Nobody else has an issue besides some dick sucking janitors.

>not starting with the new guide

[Spoiler]Buyfag guide

First let me say that you should have a credit card or paypal account.

Then next what you're going to want to do is find a good website to buy figures from. Let me list them

amiami
hobbysearch
mandarake
hobbylinkjapan
cdjapan
biginjapan
nipponyasan
surugaya
amazon
ebay
animejungle
tokyo otakumode
crunchyroll
anime island
right stuff
there are many more

Then what you're going to want to do is find a figure that you really like by searching through their catalog, you can usually search by franchise or anime title.

After that pick your favorite figure and shipping speed and input all your details into the shipping and billing form on the website. Then just wait 3days to 3 months for your package to arrive.

If you have any question no matter how menial, please ask us in the thread, because there's no question too trivial to be answered here.

There are many different shipping options to choose from:

There are fast ones:
DHL EMS

And slow ones:
SAL small packet

And large ones:
SAL Parcel

And also scam ones:
Thai Black Market.

What you want to do is find out how large your package is. If you don't know, please go ahead and post the items you want and ask here how big we think the package will be. Then you choose your shipping based on what options are available. Sal small packet only allows up to 2kg shipping weight and it's slow. If you want something faster you should try DHL or EMS. Also if something is too big for small packet, you can try SAL Parcel, which is a slower but cheaper alternative to EMS.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask here. There is no question too trivial on a buyfag thread.[/spoiler]

Maybe we shouldn't even have discussions in the first place since discussions aren't the anime manga itself, then we can delete the entire board including the buyfag threads and just enjoy our content in discreet loneliness.

>>150400497
pretty much every board has its own buyfag/recent purchase thread. I don't see how anime buyfags are the exception

>>150400603
Posts really should just consist of images and webms directly captured from anime and manga.

The english langauge isn't even in native anime.

>>150400497
People that contribute to these threads have done more for the industry then the rest of /a combined. You fucks just wanna read your scanned manga and download anime for free. Now please kindly fuck off back to whatever flavour of the season anime thread you belong in.

Would you still be selling these figures if they were actually good?

At some certain point do you just need to throw away your boxes?
I assume someone like mamitan has a whole room's worth of boxes. She says she rents a storage box just for her boxes.
But I'm not willing to throw away $100 a month just to keep boxes.

>>150402007
>>150401943
I'm just in need of a few extra bucks, other wise I wouldn't even think of it
Except Houki, so glad to be getting rid of her

>>150402048
>At some certain point do you just need to throw away your boxes?
When you decide you will never move or sell anything ever again. So no, unless you're throwing caution to the wind or think you're going to die soon and plan to keep your asses to the bitter end/are going to ensure anyone cleaning up after you gets minimum value for selling your stuff.

And $100 a month sounds really high for storage, I doubt you'd need a unit anywhere near that large for boxes UNLESS you've got a collection her size too, in which case the money probably isn't much to you. If you're only storing cardboard you probably don't even need climate control, just some dessicants.

>>150401148
As if anyone would actually migrate to toy even if they could.

I have a couple of questions for you guys:

1) a) Given the high prices of these figurines coupled with the lack of choice and quality, why haven't you invested your money into attaining skills and equipment to make these yourself?

1) b) If it is simply not an option due to a catastrophic lack of talent, wouldn't it be cheaper to hire an artist locally?

2) Considering the popularity of hot gluing, has any company completely given up pretenses and focused on creating figures just for this purpose?

- I don't think I have time for that, 3D printer is out of reach.
- Garage Kits artist can't satisfy us with their paint job.
- Some company creates their own branch to make lewd figure.

>>150409604
It's a niche thing but it's not so niche that you'd bother to manufacture/create this shit yourself, these are sculpted by people who do it for a living and then it's made into a mold which can be used with a tool in manufacturing. It's not as simple as DIY, that kind of equipment to make it to the same quality is thousands and we are only just getting somewhere with 3D printing which isn't anywhere near as good.

Of course companies make shit for hot gluing, they just don't specify it.

Depends on what you're paying the person per hour and his skill level. I've seen people make photo-realistic portraits with a pencil in under half an hour. The designing is the most time consuming part, if you give him a blueprint, it should shave off a lot of time. But you can also pay him to make a mold, in which case you could recuperate all your losses by selling a few copies off.

Poorly made dolls of MLP characters made hundreds of dollars. I can imagine that there are people out there who's autism will make them pay thousands for a figure of a character they like, especially if there are no official alternatives.

This could be a legitimate business opportunity.

RIP Euro buyfags
>Action against VAT fraud from outside the EU: Small consignments imported into the EU that are worth less than €22 are currently exempt from VAT. With around 150 million parcels imported free of VAT into the EU each year, this system is open to massive fraud and abuse, creating major distortions against EU business. Firstly, EU businesses are put at a clear disadvantage since unlike their non-EU competitors, they are liable to apply VAT from the first eurocent sold. Secondly, imported high-value goods such as smartphones and tablets are consistently undervalued or wrongly described in the importation paperwork in order to benefit from this VAT exemption. The Commission has therefore decided to remove this exemption.

I do and already made few for my friends, but I'm giant autismo so unless it's for someone else I won't bother because it's always look iffy to me but fine to everyone else. Also making one take AT LEAST 1week depending on amount of details and overall quality so it might be 2 months as well but I take 2000$ for week of work, so yeah my friend might get custom waifu but you have to deal with whatever japanese overlords will make.

The quality for these GEM figures are pretty shitty, right? They certainly don't look that good in those pokemon promos and they all seem to be 2000+ yen more than they should be.

She is 1/8. Like most of the shipgirls.

>>150409604
1. If you consider the high quality materials an paint, they are not particularly expensive. Which bring us to:

2. Paying for a local artist to get something of similar quality than a 100 bucks statue would be quite hard and really expensive, artists with skills to do the tiny details are quite rare and when they exist they at least ask for a couple of grand for sculpt, detailing and paint job, heck, just the paintjob is worth at least 250usd for an average job.

3. A few exist. Cheap ones are not worth your seamen tho.

>>150411393
The design part is not the most time consuming for figures, that's only the starting point for the sculpting which can take 50x the time since now you have to bring that model into 3d form with the traditional way.

If you go for the 3d rendering method it can take anywhere from 20 hours to 300 hours worth of if just to get the model, add the printing, detailing, sanding, pricing, pinning, painting and you end up with at least 3 grand worth of someone's time.

You are not a very bright person of if you think you can make some pennies on the western hemisphere, Japan has a doujin culture, America and Europe are full of copyright bitches.

>>150411393
You will never break even if you are paying someone else. Custom making something will never be cheaper than mass production of the same quality.

Your whole comment was retarded. I was just explaining something that was a bit more counter intuitive.
No one is going to give you a satisfactory answer to your question because the premise is stupid.

>>150415104
Those are promos. Normally you expect the final product to look worse or, if you're buying from a good manufacturer, the same as that. Though it is possible it's not often you see massive improvements between a painted proto and the production version.

>>150415278
But seriously: it's GSC, cost around 14k and looks like bootleg.

>>150403646

>>150409709
I agree it's a missed opportunity. But it's a really cute figure anyway, so I don't mind.

>>150415323
Nah it's better than a prize figure but it's still only worth like half the price they're charging.

>>150415323
Everything I said still holds true. If you don't like it you should probably wait until release or at least until we get pictures of the final product. Fig manufacturers are still human, can't expect them to be great all the time even when they are top-tier.

>>150415052

I've gotten a couple of vita games, no extras, shipped on bubble wrap envelopes via EMS. No issues whatsoever but it depends if your item is flat enough and small enough I guess.

Buyfags stop bullying thicc girls like porkchop. They need love too.

>>150423891
Expect double the necessary size and five pounds of dank old growth paper.

>>150425374
They get all the love they deserve from the bottom of a gallon of ice cream.

>>150407771
Christmas Hoppou is too cute.

>>150425374
I don't see how your picture is related to porkchop or her own brand of FAT.

Also, Natsuha re-release.

>>150424965

get used to it faggot
every buyfag op must have porkchop or it will get deleted

>>150421425
I noticed the dick before I noticed anything else.

Hmmm.

>>150423557
Same, aside from some of the monster girls and just can't like them too much no matter how hard I try.

>>150423557
I don't care about the game/series, personally.

Same reason I haven't gotten any idolshit or sabers. Also the same reason why I have dicks in my detolf.

Not nearly plump enough, almost looks like manbutt

>>150425374
Thicc girls like Sonico are alright. The problem is that THICC (Sonico) is different from FAT and DISGUSTING like Pork.

>>150426729
futakaze is a miracle of the universe.

>charm point

What did they mean by this?

>>150407120
Day one preorder hooooooooly shit

>>150425706
The Natsuha figure looks like crap, this one isn't perfect but at least it looks decent.

New shot, looks good

Am I being stupid for being tempted to buy this?

Do you think she'll bin?

>>150428431
I can understand why you're tempted but don't do it.

>>150428431
That's indeed a very fine ass, but--
>Union Creative

There's practically no chance in Hell that the completed product's quality will look that great. I would hold off on it unless for whatever reason you're a massive Gantz-fag.

Fair enough

Is Union Creative Bellfine tier?

I really like Gantz but I was a bit unsure about this one because of the price
Fuck man...

>>150428882
Look at their previous figures on mfc, if you're alright with that quality then feel free to order it.

>>150428916
Yeah I just saw them.
I think I'll pass on this one or see if she bins.

>>150428422
Stylistically, I love this, and the sculpt and paint look nice too. My one issue is that her right hand fingers don't look defined enough. Definitely going to preorder.

>>150428978
In the future follow the guide's advice.

>>150429050
It wasn't on the guide but I should have probably researched the manufacturer a bit more in depth.

>>150429153
>If you wish to see what kind of standard to expect from a manufacturer, then search for them on MFC and look at pictures of some of their most recent figures.

Fug, this is going to be my first ever Sonico figure, I can feel it.

Any idea if she'll be cast-off like most of the other Sonico's?

>>150428422
But does it have a puffy vulva?
