Previous thread: >>5814070
Bad is good.
I'm about to pull the trigger on Kira 2nd, good idea?
>>5833753
Do it.
That's what I did with WF Giorno. It feels so good man. You won't have any regrets.
>>5833760
Have you hotglued that Giorno?
>>5833847
Came close to it
Someone in the previous thread wanted to see WF Dio with regular PB Dio's head.
For completeness's sake, here's regular Dio with WF head. I actually like this look a little better; might keep them this way for awhile.
>>5833895
That looks shockingly good.
If you could, could you put one of those heads (or a Part 3 DIO head if you have one) on Jonathan's body? I'm curious about how that looks.
>>5833726
Indeed
>>5833895
still not feeling this colorway tbhfampai
is regular pb dio good with wf jonathan?
Rohan Minissimo is up for preorder
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-021926
>>5834267
Depends how you feel about the color contrasts. WF Johnathan is something that works best on his own in my eyes.
Was watching that Araki/Shokotan interview someone posted at the end of the last thread.
At the end they draw what her child with Jotaro would look like. She puts so much effort into it and Araki draws some fucked up ugly looking garbage pail kid. Poor girl.
>>5834524
That's just his style when he sketches stuff at the beginning/end of chapters. She did put way more effort into it though which was a little sad
>>5834306
Couldn't they have made it without the horrible baby cheeks?
Where can I buy more SAS stands?
As in the things that hold 「STANDS」not actual 「STANDS」.
>>5835162
Why do you need more?
it's finally over, I don't have to worry about not being able to get a figure for a good while now.
>>5835441
What about Blue KQ. And Purp Kira.
:^)
>>5835468
i already have purple kira, im not worried about kq 3 being rare anytime soon.
>>5835162
Mandarake or Jungle.
Jungle has a bunch of individual packs with soundplates right now if you can deal with the price.
So maybe I just buy figures to dress up Narancia in their accessories.
Not really new info but hey
>http://www.medicos-e.net/2016/08/03/
Kira 1st re-release announcement. Preorders start Aug 4, release in October.
>>5835837
>people who thought Kira 2nd would be re-released on suicide watch
>>5835854
Who would think that? Medicos never bothers to reissue 2nd and 3rds beyond Jotaro 2nd if I remember right. It's usually the standard 1st releases but now with the new skin tones.
>>5835837
Wasnt the first rereleased already?
>>5835897
Yeah, a couple of years ago. So this is his second re-release.
>>5835899
Is it true rereleases tend to have shading or some shit?
AHA. I fixed it.
>>5835911
For the skin yes if they were the first reissue from the original release.
Medicos made a switchover to lighter skin apps using Jolyne as the first I think. I know when people got in Josuke reissues the faces were much lighter (and under strong lighting it made the faces look a bit bad)
>>5835441
Welcome to the club senpai.
>>5836008
>SHA in the right hand
Missed opportunity, but the hand with Kira is perfect.
>>5835837
>prefer the white suit
>blonde Bowie hair comes with 2nd colors
At least I won't feel quite as bad about cannibalizing one of the new run Kiras to get blonde with white suit.
>>5836131
Can somebody who has both post pics of Blonde Kira in the white suit?
>>5836131
This pretty much, white suit kira with blonde head is my bae.
Too bad im not willing to spend like 60-70 usds to get a blonde head
>No Kira 3rd with a white suit and blond hair
why live?
>>5836645
They expect you to buy double
>>5836675
Nice subjective opinion. What'll you say next? Pink Giorno is shit, too?
>>5836684
>Pink Giorno is shit, too?
Not him, but I used to think that until I actually got him in-hand. Looks good with the Part 5 gang since he keeps his blonde hair.
>>5836693
Blue Giorno coming up might bump him down, though.
>>5836701
Personally, I don't like how the ladybugs on Giorno 2nd don't match the bright yellow shoes whereas the WF and Pink Giorno have their shoes and ladybugs in matching colors. Then again, I kind of like the brighter shade of blue compared to the WF (although that's probably me trying to justify why I haven't shelled out the cash for that one). Too bad it includes the pre-donut hair head that I'll never use.
>>5836684
Nah I love pink Gio. I just don't like the white suit on Kira, It looks ok when contrasting with other figures but not on it's own.
>>5836727
>It looks ok when contrasting with other figures but not on it's own.
>>5836131 here. The only reason why I don't like the white suit release is because the Bowie head has white hair. It really needs the contrast the Kosaku head and blonde hair would give. Other than that, I find it pairs better with both white and pink KQ (white because he's also white and pink because that's the ASBfaggot in me speaking).
If he's by himself (i.e. without KQ), I'd rather have him in his casual clothes or without the jacket like half of the time he's inside the Kawajiri household, although Medicos would likely never produce those.
Coincidentally, it splits up the Part 4 guys with the high schoolers in blueish uniforms and the adults in white with their primary first releases, but that's probably intentional on Medicos part.
>>5836737
>It really needs the contrast the Kosaku head and blonde hair would give
Definitely. I prefer 2nd for Quiet Life Kira and 1st for Kosaku Kira, but I'm not against putting blonde hair on the white suit.
>>5836742
>1st for Kosaku Kira
except matured Kira looks best with watermelon hair.
>>5836755
Nah
>>5836755
>matured
>watermelon
Nice word choices there, fag
>>5836755
lol nope
>>5836755
I prefer tiger hair.
>>5836762
>Kira somehow gets a 3rd colorway
>it's the RAH's deeper purple with two-toned shoes, purple hair, and yellow awakened hair
>>5836760
How else would you like me to word it?
>>5836767
You can start by not using the word watermelon because no watermelon has sickly pale green and solid black.
>pic related: the closest thing to those colors, and even then it's just dark green stripes
>>5836771
>pic related: mfw I choose the wrong pic
>mfw I'm a watermelon
>>5835781
that's adorable, keep doing what you're doing
>>5836160
Was a little bored so I decided to see how White Suit kira matches up for each of the other heads.
>>5836781
>>5836782
>>5836771
I'm incredibly sorry anon, I never meant to insult any watermelons with my implications.
>>5836781
Already doing wonders
>>5836782
Still prefer the RAH's sculpt
>>5836783
It's okay.
Thanks for the pics anon.
>>5836781
Good god, that looks nice.
Speaking of Kira and Bowie, how'd you anons feel if Kira ever had red hair or a black suit reminiscent of the leather jacket in this one pic?
>>5836781
Damn that works better than I thought it would. Thanks for the pics anon!
>>5836781
Goddamnit, and here I thought I was just fine with Kira 2nd.
At least I'll have both heads on display.
>>5835854
>tfw rushed to buy KQ 1st and White kira before episode comes out
>got both unopened on mandarake
>then the announcement comes
I want to die
>>5835837
Do you think they'll re-release Okuyasu and Rohan?
>>5836875
there's pre-order for dice chapter rohan right now.
okuyasu is possible.
>>5836875
Probably not Rohan since Medicos wouldn't want to draw sales from the new 3rd version of Rohan. I'd say the same with Okuyasu 2nd, but since he was an exclusive, he might have a better shot at a re-release.
>>5835837
>tfw bought the second before the anime started
>>5836828
the worry was for the second editions. no one was worried the the first ones were going to be rare.
Finally got whitesnake after camping mandy for 2 months. Villain display complete until D4C in 2020 and...Jobin in 2025
>>5837022
jobin isn't getting one
>>5836961
I just wanted to feel like part of the club. ;_;
Now not only is my kira white, bit it's also getting re-released, so it's value goes down even more. I know it's stupid, but I just feel sad.
>>5837055
it's ok, as long as you have one, you're apart of the club.
I know this isn't the place to ask, but has the translations for Vento Aureo been improved yet? I remember them being quite poorly translated, which took away from the enjoyment. Seeing as how the part 5 anime may be coming out next year, I wouldn't mind reading it again. Any links to good torrents?
>>5837058
Thanks anon, you actually made me feel much better. I feel that toy collecting has been taking quite a toll on my mental state. I mean, there's really no end to this hobby. Maybe I need some time away.
>>5837073
It comes down to space and money management but I think the absolute key to collecting is if you're attached enough to who you buy. It becomes endless if you buy up every little thing if it ticks certain boxes but if it's something you can be behind then it's worth it.
SAS takes one hell of a bite out of a wallet if you want the user+stand combo for display not to mention the colorway releases that Medicos builds on but the execution for the most part is done really well and I hardly regret my collection. Even the non-Jojo SAS's like Aijin really surprised me and I'm usually tinkering with him every so often.
Now Toku/Kamen Rider is what I'm deathly afraid of. I'm carefully treading that slope and those SS releases make it harder to walk.
>>5837062
the "good" translations are up to talking heads and clash now.
>>5836908
>tfw bought 3 Kiras and one of each KQ way before the anime started
>tfw anonymously laughing at everyone struggling to get them now that the anime has started for anime inflated prices
>>5837222
>3 kiras
Why?
>>5837229
3 Killer Queens anon. White, pink, and blue.
Not unless you're a total madman with money to burn and buy the Swarvaroski and Clear editions.
>>5837233
>blue KQ
That's crazy enough, anon.
Is there a significant difference between vanilla and grape Kira's matured head?
I still don't have a Kira but I have all 3 Killer Queens. What club do I get to join?
>>5837259
The colored not-black parts are nearly the same shade as his shirt, so you have "grape" head and "watermelon" head.
[nospoiler]I swear to god if grapes also frequent these threads, I put them in quotations for christ's sake[/ontoy]
>>5837264
The Stando Powah club, with club leader Ronnie James Dio.
>>5837278
Fampai, are the heads watermelon heads identical on the two Kira variations or not? The way your response is worded makes it seem like Kira 2nd has purple hair under his stripes.
>>5837296
Not him, but Hacchaka's archives are linked in the OP for a reason.
>>5837302
Well fuck, Sorry about that.
>>5835215
I sat on my Josuke and Crazy Diamond's last week when I was changing pose
>>5837574
Hiw the fuck did you even manage that?
>>5837579
When I was fiddling with them I went out of the room and left them on the bed, I then came back in and sat on the bed then I heard the crunch
>>5837574
I'm not gonna rub salt in the wound anon, but come on. that's not walking the path of heaven.
Gold Experience is here! I'm surprised he was so cheap - damn good figure.
Now I gotta get a Giorno.
>>5837222
kira is sooooo oooooverrated
Hey, peeps.
Finally decided to get Part 3 DIO, but was wondering about his scale.
Is he tall enough to compare to Marvel Legends or Gunpla?
Thanks!
>>5838528
DIO is pretty small, especially compared to later SAS releases, and even smaller than Part 1 and Part 2 guys. Part 1 Dio Brando wouldn't look too out of place in a ML scene, the tons of shading and molded detail aside.
>Gunpla
That is the most bizarre thing to ask about in terms of scale.
>>5838526
He's the best villain that Araki has ever made. That's the whole reason he's popular.
>>5838555
>DIO is pretty small
And by pretty small, I mean around the six inch mark.
>>5838555
Yeah, I definitely didn't realize how weird that sounded until after I posted. LOL
Damn, well I'll probs save up for PB Dio, then.
>>5838561
I think you're talking about Valentine.
Which one of you fucks bought that Whitesnake on Mandarake?
>>5838561
Pucci and Valentine are better. Kira is just like a Batman rogue so he's hard not to like. But the other two are better characters.
>>5838699
How the hell is Pucci better? Pucci was just Araki fellating himself on designing the best characters ever.
"Oh great Dio-sama, you are the greatest thing that ever happened on this earth. Now that the ultimate power that is Jotaro is out of our way, we'll be together in heaven"
Diavolo is better than Pucci
Whaddya think the odds are that there will be a Whitesnake 2nd that looks like pic related?
I like him but that purple is too much when you've already got Pucci and Weather.
>>5838712
Christ that's some shit taste. Pucci's the best villain Araki has ever written. He was so good he was borderline the secondary protagonist.
Got a new SAS and the left hand is stuck on really tight. Any tips for getting it loose?
>>5838737
Maybe, you'll be waiting for years though.
>>5838620
Looks like 2 more have been listed since I got mine and all sold out immediately.
>>5838775
and I missed an oldseph for the 5th time goddamnit.
>>5838778
KQ Pink.
Boiling water did the trick, but his left hand joint as a whole is generally stiff, no up and down movement at all and I'm unwilling to give it too much pressure to try relieving it as it's quite fine without it.
This is him. Until I get a nice purple Kira to accompany him, he's chilling with my Soft & Wet and Josuke 8.
>2,720 yen for EMS
Ouch
>>5836762
How in the god damn do you open up the abdomen?
Had killer queen for fucking months and I just can't figure it out.
>>5838929
Just wedge your fingernail under it and pull it downward. It's held in by a tab at the top.
Rohan 3rd with his alt head. Still no indication of his hand/accessory parts yet,
Giorno and WF GE came today. Now just waiting on Mista and my Passione crew will be complete. Really liking how Giorno looks he has an intense ass face for such a fuccboi looking character.
I want to order more so I can see that hot af DHL girl again.
>>5839254
>v1 had gritted teeth, already different from other SAS releases
>v2 had "But I refuse"
>v3 just comes with generic open mouth screaming but not really
Granted, the only faces I can think of is his sarcastic laughing before he stabs his finger, try hard stoicism like his default face, and utter disbelief which is what the open mouth heads usually look like, but it's kind of disappointing. I just hope he comes with dice.
Where are the reviews for Pink Okuyasu!?
>>5839254
>not pic related
>>5839254
Can't say I'm disappointed.
>>5839431
I can.
>>5839431
I guess you can say "absolute waste of time," then?

>>5839889

>>5839890
>C-Moon SAS never
I'm thinking about getting the Part 1 Dio Brando fig. Is he good?
also you knoe
>>5839934
not good, but he looks neat in my opinion. i like the pink/purple on him..
>tfw there's a figure you want on Mandy for half what it usually costs but it has minor yet visible wear on one part of one of the legs
I'm so conflicted about this. It seems like a good deal for such a minor issue but I feel like there might be other undisclosed problems with the figure and I don't know what to do.
Any of you bought anything like this, that was cheaper but had some apparent flaws? How was it?
>>5840105
That Narancia is cute as fuck.
>>5840112
HA! I can help you with that. I bought a cheap extra Mista (orange and blue version). When I say cheap, I think he cost me like 22 dollars with shipping. His damage was listed as box extremely damaged/opened or something. Box came. A lot of wear. I checked the figure and I noticed an odd issue with his right elbow joint. There is just an odd space. Took the joint apart and there was just a little excess plastic keeping it from completely snapping together. He is missing a tiny bit of paint on his boot.
Recently someone pointed out his hat. The paint is off. I had never noticed it before and this is the Mista I tinker with.
So usually, but not often you may run into issues with the extremely cheap versions of something that costs a little more. I think Mista averages 3000 yen. So paying 22 dollars with shipped isn't bad. I still enjoy messing with him. I don't mind his jacked up hat, but I can see how it's distracting.
>>5840130
First run Mistas had a huge issue with paint application on the hats. They rejected quite a bit from the factory and he quickly became pretty scarce because of that.
What scale are the SAS figures? I know they're 1:12, but do they run short (5.5"), tall (7"), or about the regular 6"?
>>5840261
I would say roughly 6" with certain exceptions like Aijin
>>5840261
They would fit in with figmas and figure arts, but SAS has very different proportions
>>5840261
>I know they're 1:12
They're not. There's a lot of height discrepancy that keeps it from being anything close to a truly cohesive scaled line. And it's not just the abysmal SC ones that are wonky, either.
>>5840369
>>5840362
>>5840378
Okay, thanks. I mostly have NECA figures which tend to run a little tall (closer to 7" than 6") and it's always a little weird when I branch out to figures that are noticeably too small to be in scale with the rest.
I figure worst-case scenario I can just display JoJos separately from my other figures.
>>5840154
>I like making things up
>>5839608
>>5840405
I like it, thank you
>>5840428
No worries.
I think Killer Queen might be the best quality of all of the ones I have*. The finer details on his hands, belt, shoulders and boots are superb. Recommended at the price.
*I have Josuke 4 original run, Josuke 8, Crazy D, S+W, KQ, Banana DIO and Banana The World. Of these, DIO is quite easily the lowest quality.
>>5840405
This headsculpt's finally starting to bother me for its inaccuracy, but I do dig that fashion model mouth thing its got going on.
>>5840477
I don't if inaccurate is the right word, rather, outdated. It's quite faithful to the original artwork of him back when they made this, when JJL was new. He looks quite a lot different now.
>>5840511
Yeah, I feel they should have waited a few more chapters before making Gappy, since his over all facial design was bound to change. The soft and wet one still holds up though.
>>5840528
Yeah, it's really just the perfect excuse to make a Josuke 8 Second, make it so his chest accessories clip in and include a Kira head, so then you can make him a faithful Kira as well. I'd be in quick as lightning if they did that.
I don't think you'd even necessarily need to make it so you can change his chest either, I think Kira had both the anchor and compass at one point too.
>>5840582
I can see it.
Oh boy, I hope I got that Giorno that just went up. I was tellin' myself if one came up I'd buy it, and then there he was!
>>5840582
Man I'd buy up A Josuke 8 with a Kira head in a heart beat. I'm wondering if buying a Josuke 8 now would be worth it, though. Like if a second release would have a compatible head with the old one.
>>5835837
Should I get this or just try to get a Kira 2nd?
>>5841165
Kira 2nd since Medicos isn't going to reissue him.
Giving Mista some love.
>>5841165
Pick based on your preferred color scheme.
Anyone got pictures of their own black The Hand?
>>5841615
I could make some. I'm not the best photographer, and posing is limited because I still dont have an Oku. If you're looking for something specific, I could try.
Just figured I'd post my small collection, re-posed my pillar men today and am very happy with the result. If anyone has any ideas for poses for the other guys, shoot.
>>5841899
the hell is wrong with that Dio's head it looks like some voodoo shaman cast a spell on it and shrunk
>>5841876
Oh nah, nothing specific, just thinking about getting it since the blue one is so pricey (even if I'd rather have that one), sure though, I'd appreciate them!
why does he have some random piece of wood
>>5842317
During the Kira fight where Star Platinum burns a piece of wood to throw Sheer Heart Attack off (One of Kira's side abilities to Killer Queen)
>tfw Kira 2nd is finally posted and you snag it in time
>>5842317
From the SHA attack chapters when Jotaro has to save Koichi. SP takes a piece of wood and starts a fire on the ground
>>5842317
The ab crunch ruins this figure for me. Was it that hard to either put a ball joint or even just nothing there?
>>5842330
Considering all the changes Medicos went for on a new Star Platinum they must've had a reasoning for it.
>>5841899
The pillar men look great!
Maybe something like this for Caesar and Joseph? They could be a little more dynamic.
Kars is sitting around on Amiami for ~4k
>>5842325
That was you? Nice catch. Seems like people in these threads are pretty fast at getting what they want, like that guy who sniped Whitesnake the other day.
>>5842344
Thanks for the heads up. Two out of the three Pillarmen are now in.
Koichi Should be coming in sometime this week, but Josuke won't get here until fucking September. At least I got a bit of a part 4 collection started.
Should I get something from one of the smaller parts like Johnathan or a Dio, or maybe a soft and wet to mix things up a bit, or should I focus on one larger part at a time?
>>5842602
You should make your own decisions on what to get, my personal opinion.
>>5835162
Gonna go ahead and give this a bump
I wanna display my "DORA RA RA" and "ORA ORA" soundplates

Anyone have this Harvest prize figure? Seeing it animated really made dig it more.
http://myfigurecollection.net/item/11502
>>5843792
That "figure" is really just a coin bank. The little figures are from Harvest's statue legend, or the Wonfes exclusive and overpriced pack of like, 25 harvests or something.
Can anyone tell me how tall Phantom Blood Dio is compared to The World? I know he's taller than DIO but if he's taller than The World that's just silly.
>>5843736
I don't know, but he seriously needs to fuck off.

You. I like you.
>>5845320
Display doesnt look like this anymore. Kira Poses are David bowie poses but you cant tell from that angle. Kars mask fell out of his hand. PB Dio I agree is lazy though. I usually have him standing on the roof upside down but I need something to put his stand on.

>>5847753
White and red
>>5847753
As long as it's not green I think I'll be happy
>>5847761
I wouldn't mind white and blue, either way I'd be happy to see some white.

Lipstick and hair color too.

>>5847753
semi-related question
what color schemes could Tusk use besides pink?
>>5848253
>>5848287
I didn't know "ugly" was a colour until now.
>>5848343
I'm sort of reaching out there but I don't be surprised if Medicos made their own original spin on colors if they decide to do a "Tusk 2nd"
>>5848345
Now that I think about it more, Tusk really is an ugly fucking Stand. It looks like a mutated baby with a pacifier it's awful.
>>5848343
You didn't see WF Dio?
>>5848347
Every form of Tusk is definitely odd but I do like the approach on giving the final act Johnny's true potential in the form of Act IV's bulky and hard hitting status.
Though I'm far more excited to see Gyro and Scan.
>>5848366
If the Gyro figure doesn't have a TURBO eye alt face and a Go! Go! Zeppeli teeth alt face I'll be very disappointed.
>>5848377
If they only did one of those which would be better?
I'd personally prefer the Go! Go! Zeppeli for Gyro 1st
>>5848377
I would give both of those up for Ball Breaker desu.
>>5848386
Medicos may push those on some WF variant like Young Joseph was for his smirking face or surprise us with a regular release Gyro 2nd with the neutral/yelling/either one of those heads if the WF variant didn't cover it.
Giorno 2nd was one hell of a surprise with his pre-donut hair head being included so maybe Gyro could follow a trend.
>>5848391
>I'd pay double the price of a figure for a separate Valkyrie figure for Gyro, though.
So would I, they should chuck BB in with that. It's only about the size of Heavens Door anyway.
>>5848462
I agree that BB looks way better than Tusk but doesn't it only appear on one page or something?
>>5848481
>I agree that BB looks way better than Tusk
I never said that?
>but doesn't it only appear on one page or something?
That's why I'm scared we're not going to get it.
>>5848491
I assumed you meant it, it's what I think anyways.
>>5848377
Scan and Turbo a shit. GO GO ZEPPELI is the best choice.
>stay up until 4-5AM for weeks looking for Killer Queen 1st
>go to bed last night after doing that yet again
>someone puts one up in my sleep and it is bought immediately
RRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUCK YOU I'M LOSING MY SHIT
so im new to this and i just ordered a s&w sas from mandarake with small package and they gave me a tracking number.i though they didnt give tracking number with small package?whats up with that?
>>5848814
I think that was I who bought it.
Want me to take pics for you when it arrives?
>>5848814
>tfw bought Killer Queen months ago
Feels good man
>>5849155
>tfw Kira 2nd is coming in today
Just in time before the animeonlys catch on next week
>>5849159
I got first a while back. Would've preferred second, but the price was too good to pass up. I'm glad I got him at the time because man, I can't imagine how much worse the sniping and price gouging for Kira and Killer Queen's gonna get in the next few weeks.
>>5848253
I think in ASB it's alt color was turquoise
Do you guys usually get the Stand or the character first? I want Diavolo and King Crimson but can't decide which one would look better on its own in the meantime.
>>5849399
I get both at the same time, otherwise I just get whichever one is available first.
>>5849399
Stand usually due to design unless the user has a really good set of accessories.
>>5848814
This has been me with purple Okuyasu. The way things are going, I'm going to have to pay the Ebay price.
>>5849399
Whichever one's available, but I always intend to get both eventually.
>>5848984
small packets can be registered and have tracking info. I think manda always uses registered
As you know, I'm a man of ______
>>5849593
Dogs?
>>5849399
Get King Crimson first. He's great, and you can get away with posing him sans Diavolo.
>>5849399
>tfw really want White Snake but not very interested in Pucci
Nothing against him as I loved him in Part 6 but White Snake is just so cool
>>5849420
You can do it. I was able to snag a purple Okuyasu a few nights ago. You just have to be consistent and patient.
>>5849695
Any tips? I have the tabs open for their page constantly and refresh whenvever I think about it (both first and second colors, at this point I'll take anything). Manda alerts never go off.
>>5849815
They usually update at certain times with some wiggle room. Check around 1-3am Eastern US time is generally a good time, but they sometimes go up at different times. The alerts are garbage. Just keep checking the old fashioned way.
>>5849815
You can also use figinstock and use keywords that are commonly in the title of Pink Okuyasu. Like the other anon said Manda updates when they get new stock but definitely check at the time mentioned >>5849844 and since they open at around 9 PM EST (I think) you should check then as well because they'll commonly update their stock right away
>>5849420
Honestly, give it a little while and Purple Okuyasu will be pretty easy to get. Every other WF exclusive is easy to get except for Joseph
Is Jolyne a popular figure? I noticed she popped up on Mandy and she was gone within 5 minutes while I was debating on picking her up
>>5850120
A little. You could check around other 2nd hand sites and maybe find one sitting around.
>>5849399
I rarely get stands.
I have a bout 15 SAS and only have KQ1st & 2nd Crazy Diamond and Diver Down
>>5850120
Yes she is. Also that was me. Most SAS of the main characters except Joseph and Josuke (They just had rereleases) have been going hard on Mandy to due to the resurgence of the popularity of the series. So you have to be quick.
There's a Crazy Diamond on Mandy for 2500 yen if anyone wants it.
>>5850302
That makes sense. I'm relatively new to collecting JoJo figures so besides the main JoJos, which figures are also crazy popular? I know Kira and KQ are but I managed to snag both of them over the past month
>>5850813
Okuyasu is one I see that gets bought insanely fast.
>>5850813
The reissues sort of helped Josuke and Crazy Diamond but back then they were sought after next to the 2nd variants.
Okuyasu is going pretty fast, you mentioned Kira and KQ (though KQ 2nd and Kira 2nd are bought up faster), Jolyne, Giorno 1st it seems from what other anon's are saying but Giorno 2nd is available for preorder.
Part 4 is just going strong, Part 5 is probably the cheapest and easier part to collect for. Part 2 is in a spot where the Pillarmen are sold fast (especially Wham and Kars), Young Joseph has a reissue, Ceasar 1st is something I don't see often, Ceasar 2nd is the easiest to hunt for. WF Joseph is an obvious one that would sell fast if the price hits the right point. Part 1 shouldn't be too much of an issue, and Part 6 sort of sits there with stuff like Hermes and Kiss.
>>5850813
Usually limited run variants of stuff like WonFes exclusives tend to be a bit harder to find; either in-stock or for a decent price.
By far, Okuyasu, Kira&KQ and WF Joseph will almost always be gone instantly, Old Joseph, the pillar men and Pink Giorno and occasionally a few others will seemingly disappear before they even show up.
It was a bitch getting the original Okuyasu before and I had a couple orders cancelled before I got confirmation on the WF one.
Has anyone ever bought off this site before?
http://www.mythclothes.com/
They are selling the Kira 2nd for a decent price but I wasn't sure if I trusted these guys.
>>5850970
dont do it i ordered kq2 and havent heard from them. pp case open currently
>>5850813
As someone whos trying to blitz his collection before the series peaks again, which I can see happening very soon. Here's what I see that goes stupid fast on Mandy
Part 1. Nothing but Joseph has become somewhat obscure.
Part 2. Wham, Kars, Somehwat ACDC.Caesar 1st, WF joseph sub 9k yen
Part 3. All Jotaros. Star Platinum 3rd, 2nd sub 9k. Oldseph and Iggy have been going immediately. Awakened Dio Yellow version.
Part 4. Right now honestly everything and shit is going up in price.
Part 5. Right now most of it is easy pickings
Part 6. Jolyne regular goes within an hour every time. Everything else is pretty much easy to obtain.
Part 7. So hard to find some might say doesn't exist. Rumors of Gyro sightings.
Part 8. Easy and Cheap.
Oldseph right now is number one on my radar. I just missed one because Mandy slightly changed the listing name so my figinstock didn't catch it.
So I just ordered Wheelnareff and I'm wondering if anyone has some pics of him on display. Also wondering what he looks like standing out of the wheelchair and if the SAS stage can support him in the wheelchair in the air. Thanks in advance!
>>5851407
Check the blog listed at the top.
How do you guys think Rohan and Giorno will do in the aftermarket?
> okuyasu sells in seconds
> still no reissue
> wham always reaches ceiling prices
> still no reissue or recolor
damn it medicos
Will Part 4 figures start to go down in value once Part 5 starts?
>>5851626
Most likely not since the previous parts are still selling well
>>5851675
Fucking anime-only's, ruining the fig game for everyone else.
>>5851694
Oddly enough I've seen a jump of Kira 2nd and Killer Queen 2nd for decent prices since the anime. Those 4k sales on Mandy really showed and I thought they would jump much more higher in price since they were already sought after.
Reissuing Josuke and Crazy Diamond like this was expected and the only one left is Okuyasu (either 1st or WF now) and Koichi/Echoes unless they wait until Act 3 shows up to make a complete reissue.
Is there any way to repair a non moving and broke toe tip pivot?
I just got in a Killer Queen, and I am almost scared the seller wont offer a refund or some kind of compensation over the broken item, it was broke when I got it "I noticed the toe tip was looking strange, and after I touched it, it fell out of place with the little white latch broke in two."
This is a just in case the seller wont help me out. "Amazon purchase"
>>5851943
I bought a Killer Queen from amazon a while back.
Ended up faulty and they sent a replacement which was also faulty so they just refunded me.
Supply pic's and just say you are unhappy with the quality considering the price. Might work?
>>5852048
>I got faulty Killer Queens.
Oh anon, this is making me rather nervous, but I will if the seller requests them, I just did the whole Amazon email.
Did you have to send it back? And Did you have to pay anything?
>>5852050
They were in really bad condition, bent ear and such.The head had came off the second one one when it was moved a bit. I stated it was really disappointing for the price.
They never asked for them back, and never had to pay anything so I wouldn't worry.
>>5851407
He is a really good looking figure (1000% better then part 3 polnareff) He is pretty heavy on the wheelchair though, but it should be pretty easy to tighten the joints on the stand with a screwdriver.
>>5852311
>>5851407
Standing comparison.
>>5851694
>my special club!
If the figures really mattered to people that were into JoJo well before the anime started airing, they'd have the figures already and wouldn't worry about high prices or needing reissues.
I FORGOT ABOUT CINDERELLA I THOUGHT THIS WEEK WHY QUIET LIFE RRREEEEEEE
>>5852418
but now my inevitable 3rd kira will be super expensive
>>5852326
Part 3 Polnareff's shoulder/neck looks weird as fuck. Like a head growing out of a tumor.
>>5852427
Me too. Got all excited and shit.
Just got Star Platinum for the mailman a few minutes ago. Goddamn the Part IV figure is great.
So my Crazy Diamond arrived today but the part that's supposed to hold him up doesn't really hold him up, those plastic rods and joints or whatnot connected to the base?
It kind of just sinks down from its weight, I'm not really sure what to do about this
>>5852878
Tighten the screw on those basestands
>>5852857
Did he like it?
>>5852880
You're a lifesaver anon, thanks a bunch! Dunno how that didn't occur to me
>>5852054
Anon just got contacted by the seller, hes giving me a full refund plus some for the trouble, after you mentioned your faults I noticed them on mine too, I think these are bootlegs, the black and gold paint wore off mine onto my fingers, and there is black splotches all over mine in areas.
>>5852981
Well now you owe me a complementary blow job anon.
>>5852989
I don't think any bootlegs of SASes are known to exist so maybe they're factory rejects or something
>>5853013
A-anon-kun please
Also got Diavolo and King Crimson, they look flippin sweet
Here's hoping anime KQ is white so less fags buy KQ second.
Who the fuck even thought that making Kira/KQ second the official manga colors?
>>5853375
The color combination is pretty nice.
>>5853389
I'm not knocking white Kira/Killer Queen. It's a pretty good looking design.
The issue is why the fuck would Medicos not make the most popular colors choices the ones most readily available? The only thing I can think of being the reason for it is if the figures were released before the colored editions of the manga were released.
>>5853394
Hard to say. I've made the call before that Medicos won't reissue recolors and would rather focus on the 1st versions moreso than 2nd or 3rd for whatever reason.
Anyone who has Kira, got any advice for getting his tie back in properly? I tried to change it and now I can't get it to stay in as securely. It's not falling off or anything but I can still see some of the peg, and it doesn't feel as tight as it used to.
>>5853537
push it in more
>>5853651
I'm trying not to break this fucker, but the tie doesn't want to go in easily. It won't "click" in.
>>5853655
I know the ham handing thing can be scary. but just push it in and don't smack it around like a southern girl. I've never heard of qc issues with the tie, so imma assume you're being too gentle.
>>5833722
They all look so faggoty.
>>5853375
>official colors
>Jojo
Pick one my man
Does anybody have the exact name of the multi hole stands for the JoJo figures?
I cant seem to find the right word combination in my searches and I have been wanting a 2+ hole base stand for my figures so I can put them up.
>>5853825
You mean the kana to make mandarake searches easier? It's ホワイト・ピッグ but you may need to try some variations.
>>5852882
underrated post.
Got my Giorno, he's super nice. Probably my favorite main JoJo design.
>>5853913
If you shot that with a phone heres a tip. Hold your phone upside down.
Also I think I got the last cheap hand on Mandy because it looks like it has tripled in price.
>>5854067
I'll have to try that, thanks for the tip!
>The Hand goes up for 7K
>Sells almost instantly
Holy fuck
I think I got mine for 2.
>>5854113
Which? The Hand 2nd is pretty damn cheap last I checked.
>>5854128
1st.
I think I might need a replacement head
>>5854360
Oh god
More pics please, I beg you.
>>5854360
How is that even possible
>>5854360
Please tell me that's real.
Yep which I was what I referring to. 2 days ago I scored a resealed hand for 2500. The hand that went up this morning was 7k and was opened with a severely damaged box. The Part 4 hype is real. Thinking of grabbing Koichi now before shit gets too crazy. He seems to have already doubled in price.
>original color Okuyasu more expensive than WF on Mandarake
>>5854360
I couldn't get it to work on my star platinum, but I'm willing to bet this is a snapchat filter
I'm tired of having my Koichi levitate. Any pose ideas?
>>5854620
Those of us still looking for Okuyasu suffer. Never rerelease. Every day I get closer and closer to pulling the trigger on that ebay price listing (usually $130).
18k WF joseph sold immediately. Welp it's over folks. Complete those checklists while you can.
>>5854665
WF Joseph sales seem to be all across the map on y!auctions for some reason. A recent one sold for 34k at "buy it now" price (granted, it was unopened, but it's still absurd).
Fairy Princess Rohan Edition.
>>5854793
I notice the wings plug perfectly in their backs......
>>5854360
>>5854665
18k
>>5854383
>>5854385
>>5854442
Sorry
>>5854640
It absolutely is, anon
Tear.
>tfw staying up every night to snipe Mandarake is depriving you of sleep and slowly driving you insane
How do you stave off the madness?
>>5854997
I must be doing something wrong, because the emails don't reach me in time. I've documented a very severe delay between when the item goes up and when I am notified. I have to do it manually.
>>5855001
Nah, Figinstock is fine if you're looking for something that is already in stock, but when it comes to the sort of stuff that sells out instantly it's 2slow to keep up with the fast-paced world of today's augmented super-weebs. You've got to develop a kind of spider sense on when to F5. It's the only way.
>>5855025
>You've got to develop a kind of spider sense on when to F5
What I've been doing is setting the tabs to auto refresh every 5 seconds and sitting with the window visible while I do other things.
>>5855001
I've gotten my last three alerts successfully and theyve all been instant sellers 2 things you have to note.
1. A lot of the times they list on the japanese site first by up to 15 minutes. When making your notifications make sure to have mandys shitty mistranslations as well as the english listing.
2. May be related to my last point but sometimes listings arent sold out. Mandy's website is terrible and sometimes when they're mid update they're shown as sold out. If you wait a bit sometimes it will change from sold out to in stock. If you click the item and the price is different this is most likely whats happening. This is how I scored a sub 7k caesar first and one of the three whitesnakes that showed up last week.
need halp
I got the Phantom Blood DIO today and I realized that his choker doesn't align with the rest of his neck. Is it stuck or is there a way I can fix it?
>>5847753
I want his ASB colors, but anything that gives him two colors rather than making him look like he's wearing a onesie is good
Did wonfes Joseph go up in price ?
>>5854642
I know that feeling. Finding Okuyasu and The Hand is more depressing than trying to find Kira 2nd and KQ 2nd.
>tfw it's fucking 5AM and nothing major has gone up all night
>as soon as I go to bed they're gonna dump all the shit I actually want
>can't make myself leave the screen
>>5855710
Probably worth losing some sleep if you want it bad enough. Otherwise you can open up other tabs on stuff like Jungle to cover more ground when they update their stock. Though nothing hurts more than getting that cancellation email becuase someone pulled the trigger faster or somebody picked the figure up at the physical store.
>>5855050
This is the best way to do it, alternatively use an app that sounds an alarm when the first listing changes.
>>5855724
What is one such app?
>>5855710
>end up going to sleep around 4 am pst so I'm not dead for work
>past few days all the really good stuff has been posted 5 am or later
Shit sucks
>>5855728
I think Web Alert is the one I use.
>>5855148
pose him with his head turned, problem solved
New thread: >>5856217
>>5836762
I just want the Araki coloring for Kira, it's a cool color scheme.
What are the chances that Killer Queen will get a rerelease like Kira is right now, because I have been hesitant on buying a KQ thinking it will happen.
