Oh, that's there already towards the top.
>>5673469
I just ordered that one, specifically, without any prior knowledge about the toy line
any notes or concerns I should be aware of for future reference?
>>5673479
Be careful of loose or stiff parts.
Stiff parts, use warm-but-not-boiling water, that's universal for pretty much any figure.
Loose parts can probably be dealt with in other ways. For the most part MoMos use imitation Revoltech joints, so there's a source for replacement parts.
>>5673476
>Oh, that's there already towards the top.
Yeah, silly me, IDK why I didn't noticed it
My mistake, fellow MoMobro
>>5673487
Ah shit, I just realized I left Tigga, Myga, and Eclair in TBA when their POs have been roughly announced. Shieeet.
Ah well, not much to do about it now but wait.
Someone can suggest a got stand for these girls?
I noticed that they don't come with one and as they are bigger, I don't believe that regular 1/12 stands could sustain them
Why are you fags even making a general for this Pak level shit? It's total garbage and you know it.

Oh, just hoping for something better in the future. Maybe it won't happen, but still, here it is.

>>5673499
A guy last thread was using parts from the Bandai Tamashii Nations Saint Myth Cloth 10th Anniversary Stand Set (mouthful) with his impressive MoMo collection. It seemed to work well.
>>5673997
Neat. I can't vouch for others but if I wind up making the next OP I'll try to use it.
Fuck and I meant to quote >>5673813 with that last post. I can't stop fucking up.
>>5674000
Nice trips, checked
> Bandai Tamashii Nations Saint Myth Cloth 10th Anniversary Stand Set
These looks good as the base is bigger, and the set comes with some marble stairs, which is nice, but after checking in amazon I saw that it cost like 40 burgerdollaros, a bit expensive tbqh
is there a stand that have a big, wider base, similar to this one?
>>5675084
Not too sure, unfortunately. Maybe the Act 5 Tamashii stands?
>>5673813
Get rid of the empty space at the sides and make it slightly more taller. The Robot Damashii thread OP image is great. Easy to read as a thumbnail and high contrast.
Something more like that would improve that image a lot.

What's going on with the original effect line. I feel like it's dead. Judging by the website and certain items being in pre-order status for...years.
>>5675901
Much better to read as a thumbnail when scrolling down the page. I would have said the text could be a bit bolder but it might be readable enough when it's the OP image and larger that way.
>>5677015
It is pretty strange, it does seem like OE is focusing more on MoMos than its 1/6 figures but that's no reason to stop doing its 1/6 stuff, which unlike the MoMos hasn't earned any ill repute either.
I have faith in them, but that may just be me. One can only wait and see what the future holds.
>>5673813
>>5675901
Thanks for the Logo anon!
>>5677015
>>5677785
I kind of agree, their FB page haven't been updated sinde July last year
We are getting more updated from Optune's twitter than form their official site and FB site
I guess that's why we feel that their 1/6 line is dead
On a side note, some anons were asking a few thread back about these small roboguys that the MoMos were bulling in the pics from the Optune's Wonfes booth, some suggested that they were customs (and they could be), But I just noticed that there is this line of little robot guys that could fill this role of abused manlet robots

>I am still waiting for her to catch my heart in her web
How much longer famnons?
>>5683059
Considering previous trends I'd put my serious money on 4-6 months.
I think this most current wave of recolors and the monster wave will probably show us what's to come for the MoMo line as a whole. With this most recent wave, Optune has mentioned that things like gloss will be included; things that were neglected in previous releases (Hi-Riridine, Chocolatte, Eins, Zwei). If this recolor wave comes out to be good, and the monster wave afterwards comes out well too, I'd expect the bug line to follow shortly, if not the cephalopod pair.
Keep in mind "shortly" here would still likely mean something like months apart, assuming they're released at all. Cross those fingers!
Oh yeah, and also don't think about it -too- much. I really like MoMos but you always make yourself sad if you look out for something really closely and then get it. The anticipation makes getting the thing less fun. Patience and restraint.
The MoMos with no slated release make me think. Will they ever come? It's a msytery for now.

>>5698826
i see this bitch shelfwarming at every walmart
>>5698826
We had this discussion a few threads ago; basically it's because MoMos aren't Transformers, and if you really want a Transformer MoMo then customization isn't out of the question.
You could always get that tiny Iron Factory Widnblade.
>>5698838
Oh, I didn't know this topic have already been disscused, silly me thinking to bring some new topic on the table
As of now the archive is dead and it seem it won't come back up
>>5698889
Oh, sorry dude, I didn't mean to be rude.
I saw the archive thing; it's a real shame.
>>5698894
No problem, I didn't mean that your reply was rude at all, maybe my replay make it look that way, sorry
So...to rephrase the question; Is there any kind of Recolor that you want to see be done with a MoMo?
>Camouflage color
>Iron Man recolor
>Evangelion recolor
>>5698940
I was thinking that metallic colors would be a very good idea. Stuff like bronze, brass, silver, and gold, and then for stuff like bronze and brass "rusted" variations on them, namely teal-green colors mied with other colors for bronze and brass. Similarly, simple gunmetal skin MoMos with any medley of 'clothing' could look pretty good.
A released MoMo with pink would be great. I feel like it's a color that's been oddly lacking amongst the MoMos, but you could say that of most colors, as the MoMos that have been released so far have, with the exception of the haute-couture types, been mostly monochrome blacks, whites, and grays with occasional highlights.
>>5698940
Apis is more or less Q-Bee in her default one, so one based on Bee Woman would be cool
>>5698831
>own Takara Tomy paint job of delicious Windblade
I still fail to see how it was a bad mold. Her thighs are also thick compared to her proportions.
And she's also kind of qt.
Just her feet/calfs are too big/blocky.
>>5698831
Hasbro version is dumb. meanwhile takara tomy's commands outrages prices
Finally fixed my Cyuchergoh!
Took me long enough to do this.
I coulda done better on these photos n' poses. I'm just glad to have Cyuchergoh on her feet again, frankly.
>>5704175
it's because the Takara version isn't a floppy QC mess like the Hasbro release. Same deal with Chromia- Hasbro used a gummy plastic while Takara is solid. This led to increased interest in the import versions.
Only reason Arcee is cheaper than them is because she got a 2nd production run.
>>5704496
I want to buy the Takara Tomy Arcee and Chromia now.
I have the Hasbro of both, because my dumbass listened to all the Hasfags on TFW about how much "better" they were to the Takara Tomy one.
There isn't I single day that goes by that I don't regret that purchase.
[spoiler]I wanna make a qt geisha kimono for my Windblade tho[/spoiler]
>>5705322
Arcee is still $30 on BBTS. Chromia you might have to go to eBay and pay the $45 everyone wants.
>>5705506
Thanks for your courtesy and for being beautiful, anon.
I'll put an order in for both when I land a job.
>>5705322
It could be worse, I actually had a preorder for Windblade and still couldn't get one.
>>5705571
That almost happened with mines, until I got bitchy with BBTS about it and then they got me one without charging me shipping.
>>5705571
I had two preordered! One was cancelled because HLJ implemented a limit, and then they didn't have enough stock to allocate one for me.
>>5704477
>>5704478
>>5704479
great, Is nice to hear that you have fixed your Cyuchergoh, I'm happy for you anon
How did you did it? Can you explain the process, just in case this happen to someone here?
Also, your pics got retwitted by Optune
Also, if I'm getting this right, it seems like Optune will have a booth on this coming Wonfes

>>5706560
Oh shit! I didn't see that.
I just glued the leg back together with a little super glue, absolutely nothing special about it. I'd wanted to do something a little more complex with some drilling n' pinning, but in the end I figured I could just glue it no problem.
I kinda wonder if I can return her leg to full functionality, the horizontal hinge is a little loose and she can't bend her leg over 90º, but that one's my fault.
Aips and both Slashers are up for preorder on BBTS, with a projected release date of Q3 2016.
Dat price though
>>5709657
Yeah, for some reason the Western stores seem to put up the MoMo preorders before the Eastern ones. The Chocolatte and Hi-Riridine recolors out for PO now were in the same situation on BBTS and Ekia. I expect this'll clear itself up shortly.
I dunno about BBTS pricing. I feel like I hear bad things about them often, but besides that they're on Ekia hobby for ordinary MoMo prices, at around ~$75 as opposed to BBTS' ~$100.
>>5707807
Well, like I said I'm glad that you were able to fix you MoMo
>>5709657
>>5709964
That's good news, but yeah, BBTS have a higher price than Ekia Hobbies, dunno why
Are they increasing the cost of importing from China/Hong Kong?
Have someone buy from Ekia? I only have got Harp from BBTS back then, but never have tried Ekia
Also I took some pics of Eins with Venom Snake as they looks good together, as Eins kind of looks like his Servant/Bodyguard
>>5710392
The Modeling Support Goods kits made nice weapons for the MoMos
>>5710396
Last one for now
Whatever happened with the green QT chinese dress elf, was she quietly killed off in the back of OE studios?
>>5712570
A couple threads back a guy mentioned his was shipped, but he hasn't reported back yet. Similarly, the teeny statueshits OE was putting out have been on PO for forever and an age. Rather odd and disappointing.
>>5712590
I think that you are mistaken, you mean the Loli vampire, the chinese dress elf is another figure that isn't even announced for preorder
>>5715832
Oh yeah, you're right! Ah well, still wondering if those guys ever got their deliveries.
I've got a bit of a problem with my Daisy. The arm piece that connects with the shoulder piece and the elbow keeps falling off. The peg hole is much bigger than the peg. Is there a way I can get a replacement piece?
>>5716252
use drops of floor polish
will fix them right up
>>5716463
Speaking of, what's a good brand for that?

Hum, well there's something to think about.
Also, for the Japanese, the MoMo recolors have started to arrive, although earlier than the promised middle of the month. The one tweet I saw on Optune's page about it was positive, so that's promising.
Is cat-ones have alternative normal hands?
>>5727578
Fucking done.
My first momo order. God damn thats going to be one expensive month.
>>5727910
What exactly did you order?
>>5727924
Tigga and Mygya
I'm not a huge fan of Eclair, the only bugs i want are Moth and Centaur bug thingy.
>>5727578
Way too expensive for that quality.
>>5727665
On second thought, the Slasher types probably are going to have alternate hands, the big cat paw/claws are attachments to ordinary wrist pieces, so there wouldn't be much of a reason not to include ordinary hand pieces.
>>5727578
That's good news
>July release
Really? seems like the OE guys are pumping MoMos like there is no tomorrow, as seeing as the June release of Recolor Chocolatte and Hi-Rirdine are going to be released on time
Aw crap, I really wanted to get Tigga but there's way too many things I've reserved for July already.
HLJ has the red and blue bunny girls, and the purple lie and the yellow grey proto on sale for like 4400 to 5700 each
Can you link? I did not see them on sale when I went through the figure list and searching OE on HLJ is a nightmare.
Nvm I found em through google.
>>5730936
I also felt this way until I realized I only had Polynian Mel on PO
However, I've got 4-inch Nel Mega Man and Boa Hancock on PO for August. Should I bite the bullet?
>>5731407
If you can swing it sure. I'm gonna hope it doesn't get too silly to track down after release or go on sale like previous figures are at HLJ right now.

>>5731638
That is Gouf as fuck
>>5731669
Don't lose hope anon, Some of us thought in one point that we'll never get Mygya or Tigga and now they are up for PO along with Eclair
I seems to me that OE is putting their effort now on the MoMo line as it have got a more notable boost with the recent PO, the Army Attractive or theKiller Paradise line looks like are now in a hiatus as they haven't announced anything in a while IMHO
>>5675707
Sad Keanu is sad
https://twitter.com/optune/status/742556252958425088
If I'm interpreting this right then Optune definitely seems to want to aim for another one of the monstrous sets for the next MoMo release, and other tweets seem to indicate some regret over the ~6 month delay over these initial monstrous types. Cross those fingers!
>>5732828
plz no my soft spongy body can only take so much
>>5677906
I think I have a new fetish.
>>5731088
Nothing yet I really have to cut down my figure spending. I think I might get Juggler Daisy though. I have too many preorders for the next 2 months.
>>5732828
As if those shitpieces could even stand up under the weight of that mess.
There's a reason why every promo gallery has momos sneakily being held up by threads. Cause theres no way they will hold poses and stand up on their own.
>>5733137
Really? I never noticed. That's kinda neat, in a way.
At any rate, I'm given confidence by some of the photos from general stuff or cons where they -do- stand up on their own!
Hum.
Animal trio is out for PO on Hobbysearch.
>>5733694
Thanks for the heads up anon
>>5733137
Considering the small lightweight nature of these figs and the multiple heel joints I don't see why they couldn't. I wouldn't leave them permanently standing without support but I don't leave any of my figs like that. It's not worth the risk.
This shoulder joints seems week for such big hands.
>>5734932
What's the black figure?
>>5733480
I'm new to this line, have these been released yet? Reverse image search turns up nothing.
>>5735103
Not yet
>>5734932
Capsule body by Epoch, there was a white figure in that set,along with two Racing Karts
Before you ask, yeah, these are gashapon figures
>>5735164
And there is a new version coming up
>>5734922
If the paw hands end up being too heavy, we'll have to replace the shoulder joints with some revo joints or those hobby joints, so she can lift the paw hands
>>5735184
2 Complex, thanks.
Monster types are on Hobbylink. For those who won't be able to grab them very soon, therefore, this'd be the best bet of getting monstrous types within the coming months, as can be seen with Eins, Zwei, Daisy, and Clematis.
Hobbylink's search system is case-sensitive, for this reason the MoMos on sale are listed as MOMO whilst these types are listed under MoMo. Weird, huh?
>>5735184
can I get these from amiami?
>>5675084
Got this from the last HLJ sale for 10 bux. They're not big enough for the figures they're actually for. I would definitely not use them for this line.
Is her bunny-ears and tail removable?
>>5741331
Yes.
You can also add the tail to other MoMos, but this requires a little careful wedging-out of that triangle at the base of their spines.
>https://youtu.be/Lo4u_BMVX50
Am I the only one with a shitty Chocolatte hairpiece? The handles barely enter the main piece and the hair accessories don't really "click". A gentle breeze is enough to make everything fall off...

>>5751414
This is the deepest the joint will go in the hairpiece...
>>5752497

IDK if you can make it bigger with a pin vise or any tool like that anon
>>5752497
Try warm-but-not-boiling water, usually works.
anybody get her yet? worth it or did they skimp out on the paint details like last time? was considering getting 2 for nazi leader robutt.
>>5755205
You sure? More pictrures from japs who got 'em rolled in today.
At any rate, sorry to hear you're peeved.
Kinda reminds me of the Polyinian thing, though to be frank I don't mind that one, and with this one I wouldn't mind either.
How durable are these things?
>>5755718
I'd put them on the level of an average figma. QC has been spotty but where it's good it's good.
When it's bad though, it's bad. Broken parts man.
>>5755492
Yeah man, that's just that same shitty grey plastic.
Look at the soliciting photos. Gleaming silver paint.
>>5737143
Those prices...
280 cheaper on amiami. I know they typically have higher shipping, and these have diecast? I wonder if that has more or less of an effect on shipping price variation.
I've been waiting for these monster types before I go into MoMo. I guess I should see what the situation on Mandarake is. Very few listings, though they vary in how often they keep sold listings, it is an indicator. I guess the other place would be used listings on amiami? Though I haven't seen that often, aren't they usually not very good prices? I might have to limit myself to 1 cat despite being tempted by both.
I feel like these snuck up on me. It seemed like it would never come out and suddenly less than a month away.
>>5756639
If you say so. It still does seem to have some glean, it doesn't fully look like Ingenue's old flat gray to me.
At any rate, if you still have problems, you can always write Optune about it, he's very responsive, even if it takes a few days for him to see your tweets.
Here we go. Guess we were both kinda right? It's Ingenue's gray with a sheen.
Impressive!

thank god, hopefully they learned after that whole fiasco.
>>5757142
well gato and bee are up for preorder, i wouldn't be surprised for octopi coming up for preorder within this year, also wouldn't be surprised if they're a bit pricier too.
So, how many of you have preordered Eclair, Myga or Tigga? (Bee/Cats) I preorded Myga and Tigga the day they came up.
>>5757003
>and these have diecast?
I don't think so
>>5757115
I want the WonFes ones so badly but I'll never find them anywhere
>>5757142
My answer? Months, but I'd echo >>5757683 in that they'll probably be within the year.
Assuming the insect-types are the next up, the cephalopod types will only be coming up way after, and although OE has been putting out these MoMos fast, I'd still expect long waits.
At the very least we know that OE -is- being timely on delivery, as can be seen by all the japs with the new MoMo recolors. Unfortunately, it seems that the vendors simply aren't prioritizing us gaijins- I had my Xabungle mini-pla cancelled on me, for instance.
>>5757492
HobbyLink Japan, Hobbysearch, AmiAmi for new stuff.
Mandarake occasionally has a few MoMos.
BBTS, Amazon, and Ebay also occasionally have MoMos but the price bloat is a take-it-or-leave it affair. Ekia Hobby also has them but never seems to have them quite in-stock.
>>5757682
That was Optune's whole effort after Hi-Riridine and Chocolatte, you can see some notes about the effort to include this on his twitter.
>>5757892
I really, REALLY want to order Tigga but funds are a tad tight.
>>5758121
MoMos have zero diecast, it's all plastic, I doubt the monster-types will be different.
>>5758249
>I really, REALLY want to order Tigga but funds are a tad tight.
Theyre gonna cost me an absolute fuck load. I might break $300 on them in my local currency after shipping and conversion
>>5758269
Hum, I'd say to hold back just a tad if it's that bad for you. Even knowing OE has made the effort to fix QC I'd try not to gamble such a huge amount so quickly.
>>5758331
Eh, i want them and Ive got the cash set aside for them. It's not an unusual price to pay for toys it's just the first time I've just ever bought two at the same time at that price.
>>5755492

I have to admit that I'm fucking jelly of this person's MoMo collection, even as I have a few of them

I will wait until they about to be released, so far none of them have sold out before the released date, and because I need to grab the two that have been just released
>>5758374

...... WTF am I missing here? Why is it ~$90 on HLJ and amiami and $75 on ekiahobbies?
... the Japanese sites have a release date of July, while ekiahobbies says OCTOBER 31ST??? WTF? 2-3 months?
The Japanese store pricing looks really strange. These things were originally like $60 or something, weren't they? Even BBTS shows a sold out listing for Cyuchergoh for under $60 and a couple others for $65.
Hm... $40 USPS Priority Mail International shipping to Canada for 3 figures. ... I THINK only the cheap "First Class" mail doesn't get taxed, am I right? Anyone in Canada or UK?
What are your opinions on the production quality at this point? Do you think it's been fixed, or do we still need to wait for reviews before purchasing? Someone already expressed concerns over whether the shoulder joints could hold up the cat paws.
I hate uncertainty. I hate how dealing with the economy is always gambling. I just learned today about how you can mostly eliminate uncertainty by balancing long and short (basically betting whether stocks will go up or down). Very strange. They said the market was volatile now, but a lot of people are generally shorting, because everything's going to shit.
>>5759019
First of, it's just the monster types that are more expensive in general. Second, both Ekia and BBTS have generally been odd about MoMo releases- for instance, when the last wave of recolors was first going up for PO, the English sites had them up ahead of the Japanese ones.
Second, ~$60 for a MoMo would be likeliest for the earliest ones, rather than the later ones. Unlucky, but that's how it is.
>>5759029
>What are your opinions on the production quality at this point? Do you think it's been fixed, or do we still need to wait for reviews before purchasing? Someone already expressed concerns over whether the shoulder joints could hold up the cat paws.
We just need to wait and see, but gambling is inherent to OE at the moment. It's unlucky but the best thing to do about it, if you really want to avoid it, is to not buy MoMos. It's somewhat reassuring to see what's been posted on Twitter.
Alternatively, you can be like me, who just wants the thing regardless. I don't think about whether I'll be happy with it too much, and usually I've been satisfied. I'll be getting the Hi-Riridine recolor, so I'll try to report in on that. I did the same thing when I got Zwei.
>>5759029
>What are your opinions on the production quality at this point? Do you think it's been fixed, or do we still need to wait for reviews before purchasing? Someone already expressed concerns over whether the shoulder joints could hold up the cat paws.
Im kind of used to it, t b h. I have figures from multiple different brands and they all have innate issues with them, mostly things like loose joints/pieces. There are fixes, even something as simple as adding blutak to the joint hole that work. It's just another facet of toys. i understand that things vary from toy to toy, plastics don't always mould the same, thats just life.
I'll post my cats as soon as I get them, i can even do a quick youtube video of me fucking around with them if people need it.
>>5760575
Speak of the devil, I just placed an order for Tigga. This month is gonna be tight on the old wallet.
>>5760578
awwww dope.
I actually want to try modding the Mygya I'm getting. i think she'd look ten times better if I drilled a teeeeeny little hole into that red collar and added a bell. No idea how I'd do that, but it looks really nice in my mock up
Best place to follow for updates on these?
>>5761082
Honestly? Here in these threads, figmoe or the other anons always post the latest pics of news that appears of momos or army attractive dollies
UK from above, brought one for twice the normal price. Still a little sore. Only 2 weeks to go.
>>5760602
I made a bell like that for one of my shinkis. Just take a ball joint ball from any throwaway plamo kit, leave the stalk on, drill two holes in it at right angles to eachother, then saw the holes together in a cross-shape. Finish with Rub-n-buff, and you're golden.
>>5760602
Go to any craft store, buy a tiny catbell/jingle bell, (or grab one off a cat collar from a dollar store) and some nylon fishing line/transparent thread.
Make a little necklace loop that will fit under the "collar" but still hang down on front, where it'll hide the thread. Adjust the length of the string so that the bell hangs where you want it to. Voila.
>>5673499
It not too much if you think of it like this each set can be up to 6 stands depending on how you do it and any other stand that can hold them is 20$+ for one. Also i just got the last set yesterday so for an better veiw of all of the stands in it i took an photo of them all.
>>5762581
Oh hot damn, you got all of the new MoMos! Do give us the juicy details, please.
>>5762602
well imo they are really nice the paint jobs on mine are spot on the only complaint i had is just how hard keeping her hat where i want it .
>>5761648
Very cute anon! (Thats another line I want to get into, but itll have to wait.) but I want an actual bell.
>>5762396
I'm pretty sure i've got a spare bell from my Isabelle nendo so i don't even need to leave the house!

Yeah, the shiny finish of the Army Chocolatte make it look much better, IMO
>>5763047
Yeah, Kind of erotic
What are the things I need to know about these? Week joints, breakable parts? etc
>>5763259
spotty QC, very expensive
>>5763259
Loose/too tight parts may be common but this is fixable. Hairpieces tend to be loose and are held in by magnets. People are unhappy with OE for broken promo promises on several MoMos, namely the Hi-Riridine/Chocolatte and Eins/Zwei MoMo pairs. Snapping knees can be an issue but if you feel such a thing may be a risk hot water is the solution.
OE as a company is not very responsive, however the designer of the MoMos, Shimamoto, is usually very responsive on his Twitter page.
The most recent releases seem to be a general effort towards fixing the aforementioned issues. If you buy some, it's your gamble.
Expect long wait times for any up-and-coming MoMos you like. Although recent releases have been fast, be aware of this anyway!
>>5677903
MONADO BOY
>>5763283
How stiff are the upper leg ratchets? do they soften up after a little use? Sorry for so many questions, kind of excited for mine.
>>5763614
Usually they shouldn't be troublesome and do become looser with use, but if they are stiff just use warm water. Don't attempt to force 'em.
>>5763267
This.
They are way too expensive for what they are.
>>5759019
>...... WTF am I missing here? Why is it ~$90 on HLJ and amiami and $75 on ekiahobbies?
>>5759576
I'm not sure this answers my question. Is Japan paying more, or is it just their online shops that have them priced this high and they have shops that aren't online that have them for a lower price?
I'm wondering if even a discounted price on Mandarake will be higher than the price of a new one from Ekia.

>>5767159
Aren't those prototypes tho?
>>5767164
Nope, these are wonfes exclusives
>>5767139
Which is the one on the left?
Any reason to the different bust sizes, other than "Why not?"
>>5767159
A lot of Zwei's paint looks a bit messy too. Still want one, maybe i'd get lucky.
>>5767222
Left one is an unreleased Orca-type prototype.
There actually is a nervy easy way to tell the difference between MoMo production types and prototypes. On the inner legs, there are circular indentations near the joints. On the prototypes these are filled in by screws, on production types this is not the case.
>>5767232
I have her. Personally, on't hope for luck, just get one or don't, because you'll be disappointed if you hope for luck! I'm happy with her, personally.
>>5767256
Can you post a close up of the head without the hair piece?
>>5767262
The fact that I just so happened to take this picture on that day is a stroke of luck. Shame it's so blurry.
>>5767268
I'll consider picking up the twins, and maybe a bunny and cat too.
>>5767273
Look out for QC as always! My Zwei is fine but it never hurts to be cautious. Remember, hot-but-not-boiling water works for tight parts.
>>5767280
Do you have a gallery or something?
>>5767331
No. At any rate I only took like five photos for a turnaround, nothing special.
>>5767353
Well, you should make one
Even some anons that have MoMos here have a gallery
>>5767371
I second this, there is a criminally small amount of reviews and galleries of these things.
>>5767384
That's because everyone but a small, devoted minority recognize they are shit.
>>5767371
>>5767384
I guess I should, although I also think I don't have enough really interesting photos to really show anything off, or, similarly, enough MoMos. There have been some reviews I've found, though, and definitely some posts from other dudes around twitter and other places.

How good their hairpices is attached? Is the connect by magnet,isn't they fell off easely?
>>5768778
I don't actually own one yet, but from the few reviews on YouTube only Cyuchergoh seems to have a loose one. But I don't know.
>>5768778
Zwei's hair is best kept on by her horns, but the magnet is not so weak as to be useless.
>>5768589
That's a fact, though.
>>5769394
>>5767549
>>5768778
>>5769205
You can pry the covers off and replace some of the ferrometal plates with actual flat 8mm x 1mm magnets, and the whole thing holds together quite securely. I can shake my Ingenue upside down and her hat won't fall off. I also stuck some stronger magnets in her tie, and it works great.
>>5769409
What is the point of the little covers for the tie and hat?
>>5769561
Hell if I know.
>>5769561
Is to cover the magnets, just to look better, esthetically speaking
>>5771155
Revolver double joints, even Shimamoto sensei have mentioned in his twitter that he have used these for the shoulders
I believe that the 6mm are the ones that fit in, but right now I'm not sure, Amico sometimes have them on stock, but sold out at the moment

I was considering posting this last night. I just wish HS would send me their payment request already, even if I'm not getting Chocolatte II!
How long are the pre-orders up for? Don't want to miss out.
>>5773709
For the animal types I'd say up until near the end of July. After release it'll all be down to the store, HobbyLink Japan for instance has had Eins, Zwei, Clematis, and Daisy in stock for some time.
The shipping to the UK is almost as much as the figure.
>>5774393
It'll cost me around £150 for two figures
>>5774989
They're only going to go up in price because they're "muhsexyrobotcat/bunny" too. How much do you all pay for these, with shipping? Where are you too?
>>5774998
USA. I'm using SAL. I'm not sure what that'd turn out to, frankly.
>>5774989
Any photos of QC issues?
>>5775280
It's mainly loose bits but you also occasionally get exploding knees. If you have a leg which won't bend, cautiously use warm water. Sometimes leg zippers are also loose.
>>5775308
Loose parts and joints aren't too much of a problem, just an inconvenience. Exploding knees however...
>>5673415
Where's the best place to buy these? And is there one that's particularly recommended or is exceptional?
>>5675084
Hi please help a foolish lad with this topic. Is that meant to be a Sailor Moon stand representing the ruins from the OP of the animu? Either way it fits the damn bill IF it's the right size for the Figuarts Sailor Guardians...
The answer to this could literally lead to me getting laid.
>>5775402
IIRC is from the Saint Seiya figure line
>>5775489
Oh, thanks. Any idea where I can find the Army's Color Ingenu without devastating rape prices?
>>5775514
I'm trying to find these too. When the postage is half the price of the figure, and the figure is double the price, well...
>>5775624
Unless I'm doing something wrong, sold out on Daisy, and no Tigga
>>5775634
Tigga have not come out yet
Ingenue is for the moment sold out at mandarake, so you'll have to keep looking there form time to time

UK here, got my Cyuchergoh today. Did anyone else have protective material around the breasts? I've heard they had problems with the paint rubbing off in the packaging.
>>5778546
I didn't, no.
How is she, at any rate?
>>5778546
Ignoreing the cost I paid, she's pretty good. no major problems or QC issues. The few problems that it does have are the swivels in the thigh being too tight(will loosen up), and the joints a little weak in the thighs(I'll fix this some when though). Pretty gud though.
>>5776787
FigInStock does though
It seems like Optune will sell some additional parts for the retail MoMos (in small quantity) in this comig Wonfes
...And some custom key-chain things, it seems
I like the artwork
Seems like the MoMo Cats will come with booklets.
Artbook, maybe?
>>5780315
Pic for the booklets
And in this coming Wonfes, Torte and Macaroon will be available again from some leftover stock from China
IIRC, these are more expensive that the regular MoMos, like 12000JPY each
Any info on the Arachnia model being released/avail for preorder?
>>5780319
Shit son, I might get my hands on them this time.
Man, I really wish the QA and customer support gets better. Seeing all their new stuff is really exciting and I want to buy into it, but I've been waiting almost 6 months for the replacement part, and they haven't updated me since January.
>>5780317
I hope the bugs come first.
Can anyone confirm if their neck joint doesn't go in all the way at the head? I don't wanna force it, pictures would be great
>>5780521
Nope, nothing.
>>5781090
Christ on a bike man, that's just terrible. I'm guessing you wrote 'em again, too? You're a real trooper, man.
If you ever want to fix it yourself throw up some pictures of the damage.
>>5781406
Can't post pics but they do go all the way in at the head. Warm, but not boiling water can help if need be.
>>5781758
>Can't post pics but they do go all the way in at the head. Warm, but not boiling water can help if need be.
Most plastics have HDT over 100F, it'd have to be hot water at least to make a real difference. ABS has a HDT of around 90C, anything less and you're just mechanically stressing the plastic.
>>5778935
The thigh swivel is free!
When are the cats and bee in store and not PO?
>>5785135
Soon. Release is mid-July
>>5781090
update to this, I guess the reason why they haven't been responding has been because they've changed their systems. Either way, a cs person got back to me and had me do the process all over again. Despite the language barrier, i believe that they said that they were planning on doing something within the week. I hope that means they'll finally send me the replacement part.
"Sorry, because now there is no this, have to think of a way to do, to send you next week, please wait a little longer, we apologize for the inconvenience."
>>5787216
Fingers crossed over here man, maybe you'll finally get your leg!

It takes some knowledge of proper physicality to make them look good. Ditching the stand can help.
Can't remember the name for it, but is this MoMo a WonFes exclusive or will it be sold sometime in the future, because it's one of the few that I'm interested in
>>5792008
IIRC you may want to try getting some spare revoltech joints or HobbyBase sphere joints.
>>5794623
As-yet-unsold prototype. Stuff like >>5683886 also falls into this, along with things like Army-type "Cammy", the Nurse types, the other Goddess type with the string instument, etc.
You can try asking Optune on twitter about possible releases and he'd probably answer eventually, though I'd expect his answer to say that it'd depend on how long the line lasts and how it performs.

Seeing this makes me wish there were more currently-released MoMos. It's too bad about how modular they are but how little this is usually used
I remember a dude recasting those little MoMo paperweights!
This thread's in autosage now. Just curious, but should a new OE thread be made (much later, when the time is right obviously), or should it be left alone?

>It's too bad about how modular they are but how little this is usually used
Yeah I was thinking the same, maybe if they have been made as model kit like the Frame Arm Girls
That would have been something interesting to see
