>Mandarake, Rakuten - search 武装神姫 and don't trust listing images.
>Yahoo Japan Auctions, Suruga-ya - you'll need a proxy if you’re not in Japan.

Donimassa havent said anything on the matter.

Frame arms girl anime incoming?
https://twitter.com/sinful_tengu/status/802029682765938688
>>6037267
Oh shi-
Just how much FAG money is Koto rolling in?
>>6037267
>>6037287
Must be a fuckton.
I wonder if KONMAI is any salty.
>>6037267
yep. my expectations are pretty low but I'll watch it no matter how bad it turns out
>>6037303
Looks full 3D. If so, the model looks alright, but I guess the issue is how it looks in motion.
Also, looks like we're going full shinki when it comes to the scale/size of these girls.
>>6037303
I just want to know if they're real girls with armor, full size robot girls or little shinki robot girls. That was never clear.
It'd be awesome if it was stop motion.
>>6037313
Given the camera angle, I'm thinking shinki. Frame Arms Girls are going to be tiny 16 cm girls that do fighting and stuff.

Holy shit, what in the flying fuck did they do to the faces?
>>6037332
I'm rather looking forward to this.
>>6037332
Just looked at the site in detail.
Doesn't seem like a TV anime but a 4 part ova or something that will be streamed by Kotobukiya themselves with the help of Kadokawa, Pony Canyon (!!!), and Frontier Works.
They have preorders for BDs and info on Drama CDs and other merch up already on the website:
fagirl.com.
Looking like the BDs will have special weapons and parts included.
>>6037336
>fagirl
You know, they actually abbreviated it as FAG at the very beginning before the started making it FAガール(FA Girl) after English speakers pointed out why FAG was a bad idea.
But the cat is out of the bag and nobody's going to fucking call it fagirl (which STILL sounds vaguely derogatory if you say it out loud).
Just call it FAG already you silly nips.

>>6037345
> I'm guessing this "anime version body" probably means hair without armour parts or something?
They already did that with the Amber Works resin kits though.
>>6037357
It's looking like we won't be able to get them, for now.
Who knows, there's like 4 months til the preorder deadline comes up. We'll see by then.
>>6037354
素体 means base body without additional armor basically MMS with head and nothing else Shinki-wise, FYI.
>>6037360
Probably means materia arms and legs, colored materia chest armor thing, alternate hair/head parts to remove armor.
>>6037290
It would be funny as fuck if Konami desperately ressurects Shinki just to steal otaku golds from Koto.
>>6037366
The people they'd need to do it for them wouldn't go back to them. They've got so much bad will towards them already.
>>6037368
They're all on the Koto train now. Konami had their chance, now all my money belongs to Koto.
http://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/labo/labo-93799/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
According to here, pretty much confirms >>6037362
BUT, also mentions that it will be of Innocentia's type and will include stuff like cat ears and stuff.
So think a cross between Gourai and Innocentia.
>>6037381
> So think a cross between Gourai and Innocentia.
My body isn't ready for this.
I kind of regret buying like 3 of each now it looks like there's going to be loads. I wasn't expecting it to be this successful so I went all out to support it.
>>6037385
Custom fodder.
>>6037389
Also KotoUS is still not pushing the line, so it still needs support, at least stateside.
>>6037385
Extras = more sisters or spare parts
>>6037390
Alright, newfag question so please treat me with kindness, but so what? What would we get from Koto getting bigger into FAG stateside?
>>6037399
More exclusives. IE Blue Impulse which never was available outside of Japan and very few physical events, the upcoming Gigantic Arms variant that's currently only available via Amazon.jp, any number of the kotoshop exclusive variant parts like tan skin for materia.

>>6037597
I just noticed they're all coming out in different months. That might make me order more than one, actually.
Okay, yeah, Danny Choo is making a Gourai doll.
FAGs are really taking off in popularity.
>>6037313
I don't think they're going to be little shinki robot girls. I'm guessing real girls with armor.
>>6037672
Happy that FAGs are getting recognition but why does it have to be Danny Choo.
Alright, which of you guys used the monkey's paw.
>>6037672
>I'm guessing real girls with armor.
There's literally a scene in the teaser clip that shows a finger pressing a power switch on Gourai's back and her becoming active, and then her doing a little flip down onto a table.
They're tiny robot girls with armor. From the way Goural and Stylet were facing off, they're probably used to battle against each other.
>>6037686
>Happy that FAGs are getting recognition but why does it have to be Danny Choo.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Internet fag loves FAGs! Investors confused, populace annoyed!
>>6037697
it's like koto is thumbing their nose at konmai at this point.
I wonder if this is calculated as "then fuck you, we'll do our own with blackjack and hookers" in response to something konmai is doing that's interfering with the whole shinki kit thing.
>they couldn't get their strarf proto painted in the six months between winter and summer wonfes
>we've heard jack shit actual news since last winter about that line RE: shinki kits
>while FA girls are getting more and more shinki-like and the MeGAMi Device stuff is plugging along
>and now an OVA that's basically "busou shinki made by koto instead of konmai"
with as many bad choices as konmai has made in recent years as regards basically anything that isn't pachinko, it's not hard to imagine them being cheeky little cunts about the shinki IP well after setting up various agreements with koto and hyping up the customerbase.
>>6037686
I'm not too into dolls (though I've always wanted to be.) What's wrong with Danny Choo? Should I not put my tax refund aside for this?
would you rathet have shinkies and fags compete and not let fags first settle so that when shinkies come round it feels welcome and not like extra hassle? These are model kits so they literally need effort and care put into them and not simply pick up and play like am action figure
>>6037697
Official page states that the anime isn't a be all end all to what exactly frame arms girls are. They're just exploring one side of it. That being the "what if frame arms girls were 15 cms tall" as opposed to 150 cms or 15 meters. Those other two heights are still in the realm of possibility to fans.
>>6037773
I dont know either. Some years ago I visited his blog. All seemed ok, not sure why the hate.
I would like vehicles for the girls.
>>6037870
Figuarts Bikes are a nice fit for Shinkis/FAGs
>>6037672
I really don't get the appeal of this, and I have dolls. None of the FAG girls really have enough character to make me specifically want a doll of them and I can't really see the armour working at that scale.
Maybe its just a promotion to get the Smart Doll name out there more. I mean there's a lot of crossover between shinkis, FAGs, picco neemo, assault lily etc.
>>6037905
It's absolutely Choo promoting smart doll. He's got no interest in anything shinki like and he regularly hated on it waaay back when he was still only a blogger.
>>6037870
Get a Mechatro wego12. Pretty nice fit and on sale for 9k on hobbysearch.
>>6037911
I didn't know that. But yeah, same deal with the GuP Miho which was actually really cute. Way cuter than their Gourai.
Choo gets to promote to the 1/12 robot girl and model kit crowd, Koto gets to promote to the doll crowd and I guess more foreigners because of Choos following.
FAG BDs are up on AmiAmi too.

24 minutes times 3 episodes times 4 volumes = 12 episodes. Checks out to me.

His dad is Jimmy Choo, a shoe designer. Danny's had to have his OC waifu made in pretty much every line-- figma, nendoroid, etc.
He's just a really popular weaboo who was able to get Daddy's money to capitalize on his waifu.

>>6037538
I like Stylet with the purple hair.
>>6038163
This looks ok but the hands kill it for me.
>>6038168
Huh, that's kind of funny. Danny Choo, the weeaboo son of a shoe designer, spends money to get his waifu made while Phil Knight, the non-weeb son of a shoe designer, makes fantastic stop motion movies with his daddy's money.

Santos frijoles!
>>6038277
It is shinki exclusive.
>>6038238
I really underestimated how many people would buy one so early into the event, especially the indigo jinrai
>>6038370
Indigo Jinrai is easily the best repaint and probably the only repaint that's better than the original. Way more cohesive, color fits the concept a lot better, and the colors go better together.
Anyone know what paint to use for the highlights on blue Materia's thigh highs?
>>6038424
Whatever paint you want.
>>6038404
I really only wanted her for the poofy ponytail. Not a fan of ninja stars
By the way, they were giving out a FAG catalog entirely in English, though there really isn't anything much written in there. But the prices printed in the book are in USD, so maybe they're gearing up for the West?
>>6038220
They fucking said that they're having durability issues with turning the MMS body into a kit at the Wonder Festival, fucktard.
What a time to be alive
>>6038632
Not part of whatever argument you idiots are having, but they said that they didn't have to deal with Konami execs demanding more durable construction with Machineca, the new body type with the Koto kits, like they did with MMS because the execs were originally thinking of marketing the line to kids or something. Not that they were having durability issues turning Machineca or MMS into a kit. That argument doesn't work anyways, since Megami Device are using the same body type.
>>6038636
The age of little robot girls is upon us.
>>6038625
There was a Koto shop in US a while ago
>>6038639
The shinki bodies are slightly different to keep them compatible with older parts.
>>6038639
>Konami execs demanding more durable construction ... because the execs were originally thinking of marketing the line to kids or something
Shit is that why Shinkis seem so ridiculously robust compared to other figures this size despite the intricacy? Sounds like a pain in the ass for them on the design side but I'm glad the had that pressure on them. If these were as fragile as they look like they should be they wouldn't have the longevity they have.
Guys... Sara should become a shinki
>>6038186
What are those wings on Stylet?
>>6038424
The paints are listed on the manual. Its a combinations of many MrColor paints.

Imagine what that might be like in a world where the FA:Gs in the Free Touch Zone are basically like actual Shinki, so they're kinda nervous at all the attention around them and a little scared of some of the more fanatical fanboys handling them in awkward or lewd fashion.
>>6038632
>they fucking said
>something they didn't say
keep digging.
>>6038636
>megami device
>desktop army
>FAGs
Indeed.
>>6038639
the durability thing had to do with the machineca design when APSY was pitching it while trying to find someone who would actually produce it. konami wanted to market to kids and wanted something more kid-resistant than the variety of joints in the machineca bodies would have allowed at a consumer-friendly pricetag, or something to that effect.
of course, making them into kits sidesteps that insofar as models are generally understood to be things you treat a bit more carefully than just any random "toy" item.
>>6038677
it's basically a given that not everything will be compatible, just like the move from MMS1st to MMS3rd; APSY remarked that he was suprised there was any compatibility, but wasn't complaining. whatever adjustments are made (most likely peghole sizing and the like) that would set shinki kits apart from other uses of machineca are probably not quite sufficient to warrant all that huge an amount of added dev time.
aaaand either way, there's been -jack shit- news with the shinki kits since last winter. not even a coat of paint on the strarf prototype.
the suggestion that something is going Not As Planned! is far from unreasonable.
koto doesn't work super fast, but they certainly work faster than this.
>>6038973
Nevermind that the Megami Device kits weren't even determined to be kits when they first debuted with the shinki kits amd were only at a conceptual stage.
>>6038724

Not to derail the thread, but check out /co/'s how's your webcomic? thead. I get much better advice there than actual critique boards. I grabbed a tablet, looked up a few sites, bought a few books, and I've already improved. Starting a Fag/shinki comic is more motivation than I need.

>>6039476
great, your stupid comic is making me want a Gabrine
>>6039782
Buy one you stupid anon~
>>6039750
Real tripods can be expensive, you could look into getting one of those tiny 10 cm ones or a monopod.
But yeah all you need is a camera with manual settings (go look into F-stops and exposure times, tl;dr go with long exposure times and high F-stops for good photos).
Auto white balance should be fine, and manual settings can be used to compensate for natural light.
If you need brightness/contrast adjusted just post photos here and I'm sure someone would be willing to do it for you.

Seems like they'd be really useful for effect parts, if you want to make fire/beam/water/wind/aura/whatever effects.
>>6041011
Did you make any?
Do you have pics to share anon?
>>6041039
I made one at the Mega Hobby workshop but I'm at work right now.
>>6040859
Yo, if anyone's interested in this, I'd be happy to sell it to one of you guys.
>>6041039
>>6041048
Oh wait, the 3DDAP Twitter put a photo of mine up (top-right)
>>6041051
>3DDAP Twitter put a photo of mine
Must feel good man.
I guess to acheive the lighter tones you must combine two pens, right?
>>6041057
I guess the fire ones combined red with orange or yellow, but the blue ones were made with just one pen. The stuff's translucent so if adjusting for thickness makes quite a bit of a difference.
I asked the guy at the booth and you can paint on top of this stuff (some of the masks on the official Twitter were painted with Gundam marker) and while most of the photos are of stuff made just with the pens you're supposed to trim off bits and sand to to get stuff to look right.
The masks on the Twitter look like shit but that's because everyone there was touching these things for the first time and a bunch of participants were literal children.
>>6037773
Everyone seemed to gloss over the real problem with choo, and that it's his Smart Dolls are a really underwhelming competitor in the BJD market. So far the face sculpts have been wanting, flat, and same-y. Likely, the Gourai face is the Mirai face with a different face-up.
Muscuto guide has been updated with all seen colorways and kits as well as new order details.
That said, you may as well just go directly to his website at muscuto.com if you want the same information.
Couple things I need to verify however, like whether or not he's still asking for the Paypal fees for orders and if the previous kits are still available to order for this order period. I've asked him over twitter, so hopefully I should have an answer soon.
>>6038234
Gourai is pretty great, I love how posable it is.
I would have gotten Architect too, but it sold out pretty quick ;_;
>>6041581
I didn't fucking know they were giving out free MSGs with every purchase or I would have gotten one as well.
Are you nerds admins of the new fb page?
>>6041581
Yeah, I only recently realized that and started really liking my FAG, looking forward to building my Gourai though I'm still trying to think of what to paint her.
>>6041646
I didn't get jack shit from buying on Friday, fuck.
>>6041581
I've got every FA:G release excepting limited parts sets or koto exclusives and Baselard. But at first in a few days (hours?) architect sold out. Fortunately, Koto rereleases these things so while I had to deal with my stupidity for preordering from a US site (and because I was impatient I now have 2) you can supposedly readily order one in the US.

>think I'll need to proxy kotoshop to preorder
>see this and realize amiami has them cheaper and preorder there
>realize one of the promo images I had open says at the bottom says that kotoshop and kyanime.jp bonuses are MSG weapon parts in anime colors
>Feel like cancelling on amiami, but that's a can of worms
>realize kyanime and kotoshop don't have the maker bonus clearfiles including the "story character clearfile (which if the story character is of an already released model, it will likely be just a normal clearfile anyway, but could potentially be unique)"
>just feel torn
For clarity's sake, all BD's seem to each come with an exclusive model dressed-down (naked, but they likely mean innocentia levels of naked (and the release info indicates they are innocentia parts)), but only kyanime.jp and kotoshop have weapon recolors. I don't know who does or does not get clearfiles, as the amiami page is barebones, and the kotopage offers conflicting info. If the maker bonus is the clearfiles, but neither kotoshop nor kyanime gets them, does that mean the other shops do?
I really hate how decent and divisive Japanese preorder bonuses are sometimes. In this case though, the extra 1400yen nets you a weapon which isn't bad, but if you use it, you should paint it regardless, which at that point you could get the original for 500JPY less and repaint it. The only exclusive benefit might be the packaging, but sometimes those are also just put in generic boxes.
>>6041693
Yeah, the authorized retailer told me they should be getting new stock sometime in January, more Baselards in March next year, so I guess I'll just sit tight and wait for it
>>6040654

Are we supposed to inform him before we do stuff or is it fine as long as we send in stuff before the deadline?
>>6041892
Send away.
>>6041936
What?
I'm pretty busy at work and am not sure if I'll be able to come up with something in time, so I want to know if I can just jump in at the last minute.
>>6041892
You should probably inform him first.
>>6041943
As long as you send it before december th 7th Japan time there shouldnt be any problem.

I'm pretty sure we haven't seen the third wave yet.

Just the concepts, not prototypes. Photos were in the threads months ago if you want to dig through the archive.

not enough lasers in the lower legs
the top knot is too small.
>>6043511
*Unless you're counting those as the second wave, since the first two are the same faction (WISM) just with staggered releases.

>>6043515
I think those prototypes were mostly forgotten because the designs don't live up to the lack and white ones. Maybe a recolor version could save them but I doubt it.
>>6043522
I'd probably buy them if they came as small body types. Their hairstyles are absolutely acceptable on younger sister-type characters, IMO.
>>6041693
amiami's description now says they're getting the clear files.
>>6041693
Amazon gets the files too.
>>6043538
I think someone said one of them was small? but I may be remembering wrong.
Just picked up some frame arms shit to help a friend hit a shipping limit and I like building mecha. I don't really know anything about these, and Ive got that mgs mech suit 01 thing on the way. Is there a specific figure that you recommend? Ninja star gal's lookin pretty neat.
>>6044028
You mean Jinrai?
She's a great starter as she comes with a ton of accessories and looks just fine without paint
Looking for a shinki sized bird cage. Found this one on wrapwithus for 14 bucks, 12 inches tall. They also had an 8 inch, but I think that's a bit on the small side. It's close to exactly what I was looking for, but it's a bit on the ornate side. Anyone know of a simpler style bird cage around the same size/price?
Managed to finish her, my first one, before leaving on holiday. Are there any stores in San Francisco that stock FAGs?
>>6044855
>Are there any stores in San Francisco that stock FAGs?
Snicker.
>>6044857
Yeah I figured not.
>>6044920
No, I'm sure you'll find them in plenty. Frisco should be good for finding FAGs, fags, and FAGfags. They have some import shops for books and whatnot, I know.
>>6044930
I've heard those bookstores have an entire section for FAGs.
>>6044933
Yeah, I've not paid any attention to that aspect myself, but weeb plamo does seem like the kind of thing a book store could stock when they're already importing manga and LNs.
>>6044930
Oh, Ill keep an eye out then I suppose. Im intending to visit that big bookstore too so they might have them there. Cheers
>>6044944
Oh, we're still using that one? You should've made that coffee shops.

>>6044606
Gonna give her a little bird or cage pendant too, Anon?
>>6045274
Hard to say. Their tweet made it sound like they could only do a very small quantity, so maybe no one posted any pics of it.
>>6044944
No. I don't live in the US.
>>6045611
Probably not, but I think I will grab a Wing Gundam for the pretty bird wings. (Which scale works better by the way? 1/100 or 1/144?)
Maybe make a blindfold or something too. Found some faux leather at Joann's for 9 bucks a yard when I was picking up some chains and twine.
>>6045729
Instead of looking for "decorative birdcage" I might suggest checking places like Old Time Pottery for "birdcage lantern" or "birdcage candle" as search terms.
I don't have any pics atm but my wife had a lot of candle lanterns at our wedding (and her friend stole the idea and now we have even more) and some of them are shaped like birdcages complete with working doors.
My kids and I sometimes use them as transformer jail or doll gazebos when mom isn't home haha

Took me long enough, but I finally finished my first Gourai. Finished her a while ago, but got distracted before I finished the weapon parts. Sorry for weird background, I hijacked a diorama I was working on for the picture.
And another shot of her face. Those eyes are so small...
>>6045897
Paint's a bit thick but otherwise I like her.

Well you obviously need to get 4 copies.
One to listen to, one to lend out, one to never open and one to use the insert.
>>6045902
I dig the color scheme. It's interesting you gave her thighs color too, but I'm not knocking it. Neat diorama by the way
>>6046749
>Someone find a translator to do this!
Reminder that the Blood:Alone drama had some excellent sound- and voicework. Also a reminder that it only took over twenty years before somebody translated Gaia Gear.
>>6046076
HLJ has a box for like $50, I may go for that since ordering two off toysanta would be almost as much.
Random question, is this a bad time of year to try and sell Shinkis?
>>6047248
Yup. With the holidays, not many people are going to be buying for themselves, and I'm certainly not going to ask my mom to buy shinkis from some random guy on 4chan to get me. I'm assuming you're the guy selling Maryceles and Proxima? Want Mary, but I went over budget for Christmas myself.
>>6047230
Buy it and sell the ones you don't want for 10 or 15 on the BST. The last time someone did that, they were gone in minutes.
>>6047400
Was actually thinking they'd make nice Christmas gifts for a few friends, but BT isn't a bad option either.
>>6047400
Fair enough. Good in a sense that I didn't really want to give them up, but bad in the sense that I really needed the money.
>>6042760
>Go to Mandy to buy a shink or two for myself for Christmas
>Prices have dropped and there's a shit ton of rare stuff.
Fuck. Do i want black Werkstra, MaryCeles, Gabrine, or Oorbellian? Leaning towards Werkstra Commando since she's a bit on the rare side, price aside. Some of these prices are the lowest I've seen in years. There's even a regular Werkstra for 5k right now.
>>6047846
I just got a shinki shipped..don't make me go and check!
>>6047863
Some of the prices are pretty well hidden. Like there's a 7k Mary, but you have to browse through the stores and then look at 'other condition items' for the box damaged one.
>>6047863
What did you get?
>>6047846
>desert tan Muru still 24K
Should I just accept I'll be paying over 200 burgers?

I got a babyrazz. She was on top of my list since I saw her the first time, but I have been broken for long. Then I had the money but couldn't find one. Finally around a week ago I found her and had the money.
Feels good,can't wait for her to arrive.
>>6047958
You should get her a crib to sleep in since she's Baby Razz.
What are some good thrones for Shinki's? I know the cradles are out there on some sites, but I was thinking of having Benio and Grap sit on some badass thrones to charge up.
Bonus points if throne(s) are similar to either shinki's theme.
>>6048027
I don't know that it matches either, but there was the throne that came with Maria from Mezco's Reel Masters line for Metropolis. Big shiny faux-steel throne with wires and tubes runing through it.
>>6048324
Pretty neat, though you're right, I can't think of a shinki that really fits the more punk aesthetic. It'd look really cool with a battle damaged shink though.
>>6047846
There's a Maryceles Lemuria in the BST
>>6048027
Sorry for the shit pic, but I'm working on a modular Shinki/fag cradle/bed. Already have plans for a specifically Ia themed one and if you give me some ideas I can can do Grap and Benio too.
[spoiler]Be gentle it's still an early wip[/spoiler]
>>6044657
I kinda felt like risking my amiami account to cancel for koto, but I reconsidered.
The release info pages say the BDs are 12500, and they are, but in the shop you have to pay taxes (the proxy is in Japan so it pays the included tax) so that's 13500 and then you have the proxy fee so it's 20-23 USD more from kotoshop compared to amiami for the (likely) weapon recolors. You pay an extra 80-90 over the course of the whole set, and **technically** each clear file is still worth at least 5 bucks (assuming these aren't limited color versions either).
>>6048451
Holy shit what figure is that?
>>6048502
>Namefag too retarded to read the post above the one he's replying to.
Pottery.
>>6047049
First, we secure a hard copy, then we find someone willing. What if we just go and ask the Gaia Gear guy?
>>6048529
I mean, we could always just pay someone to do it. Says the runtime is half an hour and granted, I don't know how much work it actually is, but unless it's some super complicated and obscure dialect, I can't imagine it would take more than one or two hundred to get it translated.
As of now I'm stranded without PayPal for reasons; however, a guy near me is offering me an Architect for 80 eaglestocks and a Gourai for 60.
Is that a decent deal?
Staying up late pays off again! Time to pray no one else saw it.
Thanks a lot >>6048587 for making me check mandarake. To answer your question, no it's not a very good deal at all. If you ordered just those items and went EMS from Mandy, Architect is about 20 bucks overpriced. Gourai's not bad since you're not paying shipping, though, and if you need them now and can't /ever/ use paypal, I may bite the bullet in your position.

YES.

>>6048634
>>6048638
>>6048631
because that's what they are. the exact original figures, just without any of their equipment, barring the valkyries' glorified spacers.
they're konami's last jab of cashing in directly on the market for shinkis, with the added dose of otakusploitation that comes with bluray discs being used at all.
>>6048686
>they're konami's last jab of cashing in directly on the market for shinkis, with the added dose of otakusploitation that comes with bluray discs being used at all.
Twitter comments seem really happy about it.
The Japanese really don't complain.
>>6048626
Thanks, m8. I'll try doing something about it before getting any of them.
BTW, what are the chances of the green Gourai appearing on Mandarake? I've been out of the loop for this stuff for a while.

I fucking hate konami.
Given that FAGs don't really compare, the closest thing to shinks we can buy new seems to be the megami device kits.
Maybe the "dressed down" BD FAGs will be improved.
>>6048747
This was all Pony Canyon, actually, not Konami.
In any case, it's not like BD extras are a new thing and you would have needed help to get them if you're not in Japan or don't understand the process behind getting the shinkis.
>>6048541
So now what?
A little off topic, but for those that have bought from Muscuto before do you think he'd be willing to sell his non-articulated kits online if I asked?
He's doing a really nice Z3 kit for treasure fest I'd love to get.
>>6048694
those folks're happy to have -anything- and it's understandable, but all the same there's a certain bad aftertaste about the whole thing.
anybody remember when konami did their "okay we found some leftover stock, we'll sell them off at our brick&mortar konamistyle store" thing, and they ended up turning away most of the crowd because they expected like... 200~300 people and got more like a thousand? (I forget the actual numbers, it's been a while)
it's not like there was never proof that they could still make money off the actual figures, and yet.
aaaand I think that market is fairly used to getting robbed with this sort of stuff, because blurays keep selling despite being more insanely overpriced than anime DVDs already tend to be. 's a market where there's people who buy hundreds of idol CDs to slant votes the way they want, and similar weirdness, so uh... yeah.
>>6047846
The Oorbellens are really nice.
