With WonFes in our rearview mirror now, we have seen the painted prototype for Vania (who is now up for PO), the prototype for Lucio who was shown with his own female crotch piece, as well as the working proto for the new THICC Polynian body. Also Shown off were the art cards for Rosa, Combat Armor-Kun and Reimu along with the designs for possible future pajamas for Poly's (whether these will be option sets, new characters or extra bodies is unknown).
Not much for figure news other than Vania going up for PO along with the female option set for good ol' Emil.

A photo of everything Vania comes with.
The finished prototype of Lucio at WF.
Arts cards for Rosa and Combat Armor-Kun.
Also here's the pajama designs that were shown off.
Finally, it seems like Daibadi is going to start work on Reimu now that the prototype for Lucio is all done.
>>6232378
It's fucking MegaMan x
>>6232378
>Combat Armor-Kun.
Name is "Solid Tector Peacecray.:"
[spoiler]or something like that, I'm not sure what the exact romanization for 「ピースクレイ」 is supposed to be.[/spoiler]
>>6232386
this is something they're going to make right? i love the hats.
so from what I've gleaned the QC problems have been mostly ironed out by now?
I'm not usually into this stuff but vania is too perfect to deny and doesn't really need any extra effort to look cool as heck
>>6232793
From what I can tell the problems have been pretty minor since the Yume debacle outside of the occasional paint fuckup and inclusion of the wrong hands.
Mel and Emil both feel super solid to me so Vania will probably be fine.
Maybe lurk a bit after Pinkle comes out to double check.
>>6232407
>Solid Tector Peacecray.
That is a horrible name.
I love it.
>>6232817
what was the yume debacle? I've heard about it around the re-release but never details
a lot of these have cool designs, but they are a little too sexualized. Pinkle and Armor-kun are okay, but the rest are so creepy.
>>6232845
Yume (even the re-release to a lesser extent) had a lot of qc problems.
The most common problem is the peg holes in her pelvis being too big to properly fit her hip joints.
>>6232878
How are Yume and Vania creepy?
They are just schoolgirls.
But yeah this is mostly a fetish line for robofags like myself.
>>6232894
Vania isn't even a schoolgirl (which are creepy in the way as robo schoolgirls go, I would think he means) unless you want her to be. She's more akin to a robot fighter type like Aigis, who also has such uniform stylings. Overall I'm not a big fan of these either, but Vania is just really cool looking to me.
>>6232894
ow, sounds nasty, shame cause she's cute

She's pretty explicitly a schoolgirl, broseph.
A schoolgirl who punches bad guys in the name of JUSTICE.
>>6232909
>A schoolgirl who punches bad guys in the name of JUSTICE.
Fuck you, I was holding back from PO her, but this description seal the deal.
>>6232407
Thanks for the info anon. Name does sound a bit funky though, like a good funky.
>>6232479
Well it was shown off at WonFes and something about them being possible releases somewhere down the line. Ditto on the hats.
>>6232793
Yeah, it seems that most major QC issues were rectified after Yume. Mel, the Greys and Emil seem to be doing really well in that department.
>>6232845
The Original Yume couldn't really hold herself together. Her waist joint would fit all the way like they should and she would fall apart, loose joints all around and for some there was the yellowing problem. The reissue seems to be fixed though but she also lacks the panel lining and pearl paint job to match the rest of the figures.
>>6232878
While I do agree that they are sexualized, I wouldn't say they were creepy. At least not for me anyway.
>>6232909
>A schoolgirl who punches bad guys in the name of JUSTICE
I love this.

So the yellowing just won't stop. I tried sanding it off but it just came back. Plan B is covering it up. How should I go about this?
>>6232937
god fucking damn
>>6232937
Why would she refer to herself as Ore? Is that a reference to something?
>>6232945
Its a moonspeak thing. Pronouns. I think it's informal and also not feminine? Its been a while, pardon.
>>6232947
oh, like "ore wa..." right?
So Pinkle is going to be my first Polynian. But April is a bit stacked for me in terms of figures, I'm thinking about cutting at least one of 'em so I have more cash for other stuff.
Will I regret not getting her?
>>6232947
Basically, she talks like a guy and uses the most masculine pronoun to do so.
>>6232945
ORE SANJOU
>>6232951
Well. She's the first non-polynian of the line. She's a "motoroid". I feel like ever since Yume people have pulled back A LOT. She was one of the most anticipated and sold out everywhere for over a month before she dropped. But because of factory fuckups it turned many people off the line. I don't know if we're back to that kind of hype. Probably not.
>>6232937
>Hobbies: cooking
>Contrary to appearances, she is an excellent chef and will serve piping hot Italian food to whoever she's with. Although she gets embarrassed when treated like any other girl, deep down she seems to enjoy it.
That's cute. Thanks for this anon. Much appreciated.
>>6232951
Well, Pinkle's orders are still closed at HLJ but she's still up at Amiami so you might be able to nab her after there release. Being the first Motoroid in the line some might be hyped to get her but might hold back due to what happened with the old Yume.
>>6232937

I approve this message

She is like if every shonen manga protag from the 90's was a robot girl.
Good shit.
Any way you could do Pinkle's bio as well?
>>6232951
What are you getting that could possibly be better than this cutie?
In all seriousness though you will probably be able to get her pretty cheap on the aftermarket.
>>6232937
God damn it now I HAVE to pre-order her.

Cute.
I wish it would have gone a little deeper into her personality like it did with Vania.
Also I had no idea she could turn into a giant robot.
>>6233013
Maybe not Italian but badasses who can also cook pop up every now and then.
>>6232878
they are suuuper sexualized. Panties and "panel line" slit in the crotch. I mean, come on.
That being said, they are more cute to me than sexy. I feel like they can also be less sexual with a little thinking. I'm buying the ftm kit 2x, that gives me four black spats for the girls that need more coverage. (black spats+vania's short skirt reminds me of Chidori from FMP) It will also look more innocent to me. Emil is just a tomboy when I put pigtails and fem spats on her.
Never got a daibadi before, but I'm really interested in Vania or Pinkle. Which do you guys think is more fun?
>>6233059
Neither are out just yet but they both look very fun.
Vainia seemingly lends herself to parts swapping and crazy posing better but Pinkle is a QT with some really cool accessories.
I would have to suggest going with Pinkle if only because she comes out next month.
>>6233027
Thanks for the translations anon.
>Is looking for a pilot who can bring out her power.
Is she now... looks like Pinkle and Vania are gonna be my new favorites beating out Mel. Both are qts.
>>6233059
>Which do you think is more fun.
Well Pinkle's face plates seem to have a ton of personality and has the most face plates out of them with 4 in total so that adds to playablity/fun factor. Vania looks to be alot of fun too with the whole giant fists of JUSTICE and seems nice for part swapping with others. Also I guess its preference and whether you want one soon in April or can wait for a couple of months for August.
>>6232894
>Yume (even the re-release to a lesser extent) had a lot of qc problems.
>The most common problem is the peg holes in her pelvis being too big to properly fit her hip joints.
I have the original Yume with panel lining (pre-ordered from Amiami) and the only problem I had with her is that his ponytail required hot water to put it on her head. Everything else is fine, I even can hold her from her chest and her other half won't fall. I wonder if it was small batch of fine Yumes.
>>6233042
>Maybe not Italian but badasses who can also cook pop up every now and then.
aw, but you need the whole package
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW0W7j04iRQ
>>6233119
>>6233112
Thanks. Ideally I'd want a black and white Pinkle with the cop motif, but with the super fists. Guess I'll order a Pinkle because she's got bigger thighs.
>>6234251
Don't you mean blue and white?
>>6234291
Nah, like a Patlabor motif. The single bunny ear antenna makes me think of the Patlabor robots.
>>6233027
>14
W-wow. I pegged her as an older woman who was almost 30 and a bit ditzy and clumsier.
>>6234306
Maybe they'll do that if they do a grey? Grey skin and white clothes?
>>6234333
It's in robot years though.
>>6234334
I dunno, they haven't done any recolors yet, have they?
Does anyone have Yume or Mel's descriptions?
What's it like to have the full set of these?
I only bought originals and grey variants but now I'm starting to think actually I do want all of them.
>considering getting two Emirs (1 boy, 1 girl)
>>6234334
Yume: still the fucking cutest
>>6233027
S-so if she's 14, but she's a robot, is she legal
>>6234389
Only the originals have gotten recolors so far. Honestly, if they just dropped the idea of recolors totally I'd be fine with it. As long as they re-release the white originals once again because I want a white Shamrock and Clover.
>>6234502
Yeah, I love the school outfits. Doesn't stop me from putting them into horrible scenarios though.
>>6234714

Anon pls, I'm still on my first play through.
>>6234718
The filename is just a joke, I'm not spoiling anything. I'm playing it too, and I thought I'd just toss some fun filenames onto the Poly pics.
>>6234537
well anon that opens up a world of murky and questionable questions about robots and consent doesn't it
http://io9.gizmodo.com/5115376/can-a-robot-consent-to-have-sex-with-you
Should I post pics I tale here or in the photo general?
>>6234823
Both
>>6234823
Poly or Poly related pics can go here, of course, since they're both on-topic to /toy/ and on topic to this thread in particular.
So in other words, post them here or there, or both. Whatever you want. Never hurts to have more content in these threads though.
>>6234948
>>6234958
Alright. I just got Shamrock, but the first thing I wanted to do was used his body with Emil's head. I was not disappointed by the results. I haven't photographed any of my other Polynians, yet, so apologies if this is a bit spammy.
Also I am using someone else's camera and the range within which the pictures are in focus is incredibly specific to the point that sometimes one part of the subject will be in focus while the rest is blurry, and I have no idea what I'm doing, so I don't know how to fix it, but I feel like the results were still acceptable.
>>6234992
How much did you pay for the white Shamrock? I keep seeing these $150 prices and going "Fuck that shit".
I mean, I like Poly's. I just don't "$150 for a $40-ish dollar figure" like Poly's.
What do you know about these titty robots?
>>6235076
>Poly Gaogaigar
These garage kits break my fucking heart with their limited availability.
>>6235076
You can buy recasts.
>>6235008
is that the pizza divider thing?
>>6235188
Yep. Got a pizza a week or two ago, realized the little thing they stick into it to prevent the cover from touching the cheese looked like a table. Washed it off with some dish soap, let it dry, now I have a tiny white table. Next time I order a pie I'll have to remember to save it and get a few of these, since I'm totally lacking in accessory stuff to pose my figures with.
On that note if anyone can recommend some cheap furniture I can get off Amazon or something to go with Poly's and other 1/12th stuff that'd be nice.
>>6235000
>>6235008
I was gonna try and haggle, but I just paid like ⅓ the asking price a week. I didn't mind so much since it was sealed. Also, these figs are like $60 a pop new, especially after shipping. I'm also a kissless virgin, so I don't mind paying for plastic girls (male).
>>6235265
Different blurriness or whatever the technical term is.
>>6234537
It's not illegal if they don't catch you
So, what would be some improvements in the Poly stuff that you'd want to see?
For me, I'd want to see more parts molded in the dominant color. Take Emil's upper body part, for example. Is it molded in yellow? Nope. It's molded in white plastic, then painted. Same with their hair pieces. They should be molded in the color they're supposed to be, rather than painted. Would also solve a few of their "peg doesn't want to fit/peg stuck in hole" issues in some cases too, as not having paint glooping into the holes or thickening them unwittingly would help.
>>6235586
I like the look of the painted hair personally.
Although the idea of paint transfer is kind of worrying.
What I feel is sorely (and kind of bafilingly) lacking from the Polynian line are gripping hands with poly joints instead of solid pegs.
They make sword poses feel a bit awkward.
Also maybe they could loosen the grip a bit.
>>6235181
where can i buy these recasts?
>>6235244
I paid a used copy for 120 a few months back. I would have paid maybe more if it was sealed because the previous owner had already yellowed the plastic.
>>6235673
GK-M
Google it, it'll be the first or second result.
If you have questions, make an account and ask questions in the Guestbook section. They usually respond pretty quickly. Recasts are at the moment available for the two GaoGaiGar kits, The Gurren Lagann kits, and one of the Aphrodite A kits, though not the Venus A kit.
>>6235586
Wouldn't molding in a single color bring down production costs too?
I would like to see improvement on the paint and decal application. As well as the ironing out of QC problems. I'm also slightly disappointed by the way the molding on the faces seems warped? I don't know if that is from paint application but I'd like to see that improvement too. Improvement in plastic materials as well. I have figma way older than this line and they age better than these. I'm having a hard time believing that the yellowing is solely from dirt/oil deposit. I wash my hands before I touch my figures, but I heard that some anons would hardly touch their polys and they're already seeing yellowing.
>>6232370
>>6232372
My Shinkis were looking lonely and I wanted to buy some other figure lines to give them company.
Think I might pre-order because she fits the bill in both looks and articulation.
>>6235764
>Wouldn't molding in a single color bring down production costs too?
It depends if the cost of whatever color of plastic is cheaper than the cost of just doing everything in 1 color followed by blasting it with paint. But it generally would be cheaper too, and wouldn't suffer from paint issues.
>>6235781
Shinkis look anorexic next to Polynian. Keep separate to avoid body-image issues.
>>6236102
They look anorexic in general though.
>>6236102
Yeah, but it can be written off as style and to make the modular parts easier to fit etc.
But it becomes depressingly obvious when they stand next to a figure with more natural proportions
>>6235666
Yeah, the gripping hands not being the same as the rest is an odd choice. I can sort of get the logic, that they don't want the weapons to be too heavy so they move the ball joints, but you could just turn the ball joint properly so it can't bend in whatever direction you don't want it bending in.
>>6236120
>>6236122
Oh yeah, it's obvious it's that way because of how they function, but without their armors/optional bits/etc they really look off putting next to more conventional (ie: non-kit, non-addon bit wearing) figures.
>>6232378
>Megaman and Ryuko
>>6236170
Tector is a pretty obvious Megaman homage but Rosa seems like more of a nod to traditional hentai dominatrixes than Ryuko.
I know this isn't really directly Polynian related, but for those who have bought Emile from AmiAmi with Registered SAL- How much was shipping? I'm trying to estimate how much Pinkle's shipping is going to cost so I can earmark the right amount.
>>6236783
Wait, I'm stupid- Shipping to the Eastern US.
Stumbled across this pic I had as I was browsing through my archives.
Thought I'd share.
>>6237504
They need to just release all of these (well, except the Samus and Persona ones I guess) under the Poly line.
>>6237504
Wait, is this recent? Aren't these just his old garage kits from previous years?
>>6237504
>Neuroi
Please.
As far as I know there's no mass release alternative and unlike this rest here (aside from Aigis and ones I don't know) she looks practically perfect, as opposed to just being done in the style of this line.
>>6237570
No. Something I downloaded a long time back and forgot about until I ran across it today.
>>6237726
That spilled milk piece is probably the best accessory part of all time for doing dumb shit. Too bad the bottle that goes with it is attached to a belt. They really should've made the bottle separate from the belt, or included an extra bottle or something.
>>6237504
>>6237574
We need it.
>>6238263
>we
What are we, Neuroi?
I say as we talk about wanting one that was very much an individual compared to the rest.
>>6238317
Suck? No, but it isn't stellar. However if you can watch for fun and understand that the focus is really the character interactions and don't have panic attacks at 'pantyshots' it can be quite enjoyable.
Brave Witches (the really recent anime) takes a more serious, refined approach which I enjoyed more and is the whole reason I finally dived into Strike Witches. MC in BW is also more grounded in a few ways.
Basically watch it using the child in you to appreciate the awe and wonder of a new fiction. The books also offer quite the vast array of character dynamics. Not all are buddy-buddy.
>>6238263
You can get the recast on Taobao.
>>6237504
Holy moly
>>6238420
Thanks for the tip! I've never had to look for anything there before so it didn't come to mind to check.
Update in case anyone was curious, I contacted the manufacturer for some replacement parts and they helped me out. Unfortunately they only had cat ears from the grey flesh shamrock, so I'll be getting a pair of those. Still really nice customer service though.
>>6238732
So they've got someone who can deal with English customers, or were you tossing stuff into Google translate and hoping it didn't come out as "I must adorn squid shoe polish number one mighty for best wash"?
Also does anyone have a better fix to Daibadi joints other than tape? Seems like no matter how many times I try their tape method her knees go back to being shitty. Would futureshine in there work better or something?
>>6238800
Yeah, they do have someone over there specifically for overseas support for English speakers, actually. I think it's pretty neat for such a small and niche company.
>>6238317
>Does Strike Witches suck?
Tank witches is bretty great. Doesn't afraid of anything and Akimbo BOFORS for friendship an shit.
Also Patton, Rommel and Monty being retards together.
Is there any way to get Clover at a reasonable price somewhere? Or am I too late to the party
>>6239723
The best you can hope for is like $70 at this point.
She is my favorite Poly but she really isn't worth it unless you have some others to part swap her with.
>>6239727
that's almost worth it. you think they'll ever do a rerelease?
>>6237772
How do I get this accessory?
>>6238800
Buy a set of Polynian joints, (or use Hobby Base ball shaped joints).
>Seems like no matter how many times I try their tape method her knees go back to being shitty.
You must be doing it wrong. That method works great.
>>6240033
Then you aren't doing it right.
>>6240041
You cross the tape over the center peghole sticky side down right? Or was it sticky side up?
>>6240044
If this is too hard for you, just buy some Polynian joints, or some Hobby Base joints.
>buy Yume just because of the design
>Vania preorders available
For fucks sake my wallet can't handle this right now.
>>6240053
Ah shit, so you put it sticky side up, so the sticky part touches the inner dome of the top joint? I didn't have a chart when I did this. Guess I did do it wrong.
Or am I misreading this thing.
>>6239730
Maybe eventually.
The odds aren't looking good though.
$70 is far from the standard price but that is what I paid for mine and still see them pop up for around that much from time to time.
More Daibadi/Dimension Diver from way back in the before time.
>>6242139
Man, that Metis looks so cool.
Also, is there anyone who could translate any of pic related?
>>6237504
I need that Neo Okusaer

>>6232378
As someone just starting to look into robot figures, are there any robo-boy lines similar to this armored QT3.14 on the left (besides the obvious Mega-Man stuff)?
Emil, Lucio, and the grey flesh bots are cute, but I'm really digging the babyface/heavy armor contrast going on here.
>>6244205
For the vaguely/intentionally lewd robot lines, this is pretty much it.
>>6244516
Hm, guess Combat Armor-kun/Solid Tectar Peaceclay will be my first robofigure then. I can wait. Thanks for the info.
>>6244516
You have/had MoMos, but they're kinda dead as a line for now. Optune seems to want to keep them around and do more, but we'll have to wait for news on that.
>>6244816
He was asking about shotabots though. MoMo's were all female.
>>6244834
Oh fuck, I misread. Ah well, yep, in that case Polynian' is all there is.
We have two roboshotas now when are we getting some robololis?
>>6244899
Fuck that, wheres my THICC female body? C'mon Daibadi, show off the full thing already.
>>6242135
where do i buy this
>>6244958
Fug you.
At least you know it is coming at all.
The thick body was announced pretty recently so I doubt we will see a painted promo until at least november.
I wonder if this thing will come with a head?
So far we have only seen it with Emil and Clover's heads.
It would suck if it didn't even have a placeholder.
>>6242139
Snazzy, though, I suppose this is painted and not the intended mass-release look?
>>6244961
You can get a non-colored recast on e2046, but if you want to make it posable, you'll have to

>>6242138
Kinda look like Dolores.
Man, why didn't they make a Dolores figure.
You'd think that a cute girl mecha with a crotchpit would be something right up their alley
>>6244967
If you want a roli just take Shammy's chest and put it on Clover's body.
>>6245184
I have thought about it since that would look almost right (minus the full hips but I can forgive that) but I am not willing to make the $100+ investment just to part swap.
I wish the aftermarket price for Shammy wasn't so fucking insane since he looks fantastic for that kind of thing.
>>6245291
Get the greys?
And hey, it isn't so much a part swap as it is buying 2 different figures.
>>6245054
It was technically available to buy normally a while ago, it sold out, so now it's being restocked.

But the greys don't look nearly as good and are mostly useless for part swapping.
Besides they have had a substantial price hike as well to the point where I would be better served just buying a white Shamrock to go with the Polys I already have.
>>6244899
ugh, one on the left looks weird as fuck. how would that waist even work?
>>6245646
Ball joint in crotch, peg goes into the waist, maybe.
>>6244899
There aren't any 10-year-old boys yet.
>>6244967
Any more images of thicc?
>>6245916
More pics in the last thread but here's one.
>>6242139
Metis looks nice. Still have to get around to ordering Aegis.
>>6246074
i hope they add a thicc trap option too.
>>6232937
Good lord, would love a chick like her. Just someone to friggin cook with. And Italian style dishes tends to be the most common thing I make.
nuns are cute.
>>6247650
Is this a future release?
>>6248116
It looks like fanart of some kind to me.
Been slow lately. No news of new stuff/new pics/etc?
I brought a few extra ears and tail for shamrock and I wanted to know before I get some stuff to make the pegs for the ears bigger if nail polish plays nicely with these guys?
Heres a bad pic of sham with the tail.
>>6250996
It depends on the type of nail polish. You could try futureshine.
>>6250948
Pinkle's out in a little over a month, otherwise no news.
>>6251135
Do we have a specific release date for Pinkle yet? Amiami just says April.
>>6251375
Not really holding my breath on the April release date. Pretty much every release has had to be pushed back at least a month I think I'm not complaining though, if the delays help iron out QC issues.
>>6251375
When they say April, they mean "the end of April".
>>6246074
where can i buy this, or hope to see a pre order
>>6252844
It's not out yet, and it's not up for PO yet as it's not finished. What you see there is a half-finished prototype. The arms and legs below the knee aren't made yet.
>>6246074
Calling it now, this is gonna be an homage/ adaptation of pochacco
>>6254013
I really hope so. I am a fan of some THICC.
>>6254013
Pochako is cool but if it has to be an homage I would love something closer to Nikuko from Galko.
She is the best Thicc anime girl.
I hope we get more chubby bots after the nude body.
A plump swimsuit or schoolgirl body would be wonderful.
>>6254013
Her waist is way too thin
>>6252844
Its still a WIP at the moment. Like the other anon said the arms and leg parts still need to be made, updates and eventual PO/release info will be shared here though so just keep on eye out.
>>6254013
I would be okay with this.
>>6254234
Ah, I still need to get around to watching Galko. Been on my watch list for a bit.
>>6254256
Galko is pretty good.
It is a shame that the characters never got any figures outside of that one Nendoroid.
>>6246074
There's something that really worries me about this body: swap potential.
I mean, yeah, we can combine Shamrock's head and hips (huge bulge included) with the huge balloon tits piece...
>One long solid session of fapping later.
As I was writing, we can swap pieces of this new body type with some of shamrock and clover pieces... and that's it. Apparently, no holes or additional pieces have been shown, so most accessories of the other toys can't be combined with them. No skirt, or sandals, or cap, or whatever.
It really worries me that the thicc-bot will be limited to be only swappable with the most incredible expensive figures and that's it. It will be like the grey shamrock and clover variants all over again.
Unless they start a new line of thicc-bots, with totally original characters like NotGalko, NotPochaco or NotCattleya.
A man can only dream so much...
>>6258744
Eh, the current figures honestly aren't too swappable outside of the original whites, the two greys (but only with each other), and everyones heads being put on another's body (again, except for the greys). Man, the greys were a terrible fucking decision. Emil swaps well with Yume for some parts since they're both dressed in school outfits, but thats about it.
But yeah, not much is gonna get swapped outside of head swaps, currently, so don't worry too much about it. Honestly at this point they'd probably be better off just releasing new head kits with different hair, or hand gestures/weapon kits. Each time they make a wholly new body, the parts don't really combine well with the others, other than by shoving a different head on this new body.
>>6258791
>I don't really agree with you
Thats fine. I just think a lot of them look really "off" on other bodies. Well, other than straight up head/faceplate swaps, or stuff like mixing Emil and Yume who are dressed very similarly.
>Thanks to worldwide popularity of the "Polynian" , we are putting more weight on overseas sales!

>>6263991
>>6263992
>>6263987
I-is that true? Where did they say that?
Polynians on US Amazon so we never have to pay scalpershit prices or over seas shipping ever again when?
>>6264156
>I-is that true? Where did they say that?
I copypasted it straight from their official twitter.
https://twitter.com/Daibadi/status/846019243724328960
>>6264166
Thats pretty cool. Wonder exactly what it means though. I really hope they throw these things on Amazon or something. I know those Beast Box (?) things in another thread might get some US releases on Amazon too because people asked for it.
>>6264171
Would be neat.
I don't mind buying from import stores when there are multiple figures I want coming out around the same time but Pinkle is going to be over $70 for me.
Speaking of Pinkle.
Does anybody know the exact date that she is coming out?
>>6264233
No. It still says April. Package samples are in. They're fine. Daibadi says production samples aren't up to standard so another run is going to be done. All of this can be easily found on twitter.
>>6264542
>Daibadi says production samples aren't up to standard so another run is going to be done.
AGAIN with the QC issues? God damn it. This is going to be another nightmare release isn't it?
>>6264778
No. It means we have to wait longer for more production samples because he's not giving them the okay to make more of those shitty ones.
>Retweet a meme that openly calls their fans degenerates.
So, are they unaware of the meme, or just don't give a fuck and fully embrace their target market?
>>6265443
Their retweet immediately before that talks about Yume being really popular with maniac-level fetishists.
I don't think they've EVER given a fuck.
>>6265443
Maybe he can barely read english, and only recognized his company name?
Though it's better if they recognize it and embrace it.
>>6264542
>Daibadi says production samples aren't up to standard so another run is going to be done
Guessing the factories are in China, and are probably screwing them as hard as possible. Chinese factories will cut every corner they can unless you watch them like dogs, and I'm guessing Daibadi is definitely not a big enough company to afford that kind of watching.
>>6265456
What is the green twist-tie supposed to be, tentacles?
>>6265649
Looks like coral
>>6265473
That's how we got QC issues in the first place. To prevent that he's checking over the samples each time and making them do it over if they suck.
>>6265649
It's a reference to the end of G Gundam when Rain was used as the core of the Devil Gundam.
>>6266852
I knew that looked kind of familiar.
That episode was one of the most unintentionally funny things I have seen in a mech series.
>>6265443
Hit too close to home, Princess?
So is Yume a safe buy? Or is she still fucked up?
Very cute disaster
>>6234251
Can a nigga get a sauce on that pic, anon?
>>6267042
Her hips can be a little fucked (I know they are on mine) but the renewal is mostly alright.
Does Emir have a penis?
(this is important)
>>6268039
He has underwear and a bulge.
>>6268181
Is bulge smaller than Shamrock?
Is there really no other way of procuring spare parts? I'm looking particularly at Grey Shamrock's "ears"; this model of Shamrock is already loose on the slots and I just lost one of the ears.
>>6268039
>Emir
Stop it with this Emir shit.
The character's name is Emil. Why do you twatwaffles have to fuck it up all the time/ You sound like fucking idiots.
>>6240063
Sticky side down. The tape isn't "gripping" to the moving parts, since that's stupid and wears out the stickiness, it's "thickening" the peg inside. You can thicken the internal joint and add more friction with future polish, clear nail polish, or light superglue too if you're more familiar with those.
>>6267246

It's actually a pretty good story, and it plays out more like a K-Drama, since it's Korean webcomic.

i'm always bemoaning not getting orig release shamrock before he got scalped to hell but this is new best boy, lbrh
> that smug face
>that hair
>the vest (if that zipper bit moves i will die of happiness)
>>6232376
Do we have any tentative preorder dates for him yet?
>>6271438
No. Reimu is the next being worked on iirc. Lucio's faceplate options are finished though.
Im just a mere lurker from other threads, but can someone tell me why femboi robots are a thing?
[spoiler]N..not that im c...complaining or anything[/spoiler]
>>6276546
Because it's a fetish.
Is it not incredibly obvious what these things are?
>>6276554
They're alien robot people who are capable of interbreeding with humans.
>>6276554
>but why?.... what where the design engineers thinking?
Stop being dense.
>>6276272
Never trust a box.
>>6276554
>but why?
why does there need to be a reason? just enjoy it.
>>6276623
>>6276652
Gotta admit, I do love how creepy Shamrock can look. It's the smile.
How long until Daibadi makes a blank face?
>>6277435
I'd rather them make all sorts of expressive faces for easy swapping. Especially since most of their hair styles cover eyebrows, meaning you'd not notice most differences.
>>6280707
>poor little white guy gets destroyed by two black men
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you should all check out your Mels. Mine appearing to be yellowing like Yume did before at the tips of her arms and legs.
>>6232376
so i was squinting at this for a while and -
does he come with an alternate crotch plate? is that is?
becos if so then somebody at daibadi has read my thoughts and is playing directly into my cboy fetish.
my hype is real. his paint job better be on fucking point, because i will fight and die for this twinky ass swimmer bot
I just got an Amiami notice.
Pinkle has been delayed to may.
On the plus side this probably means that the QC will be a bit better than usual.
>>6284172
>Rejoice anon.
oh oh oh i will.
god fucking bless
daibadi hath delivered unto this poor soul a bounty of yes
almost makes up for shamrock going for assrape prices aftermarket. i'm still kicking myself for not jumping on the gray version, it woulda been better than nothing.
>>6285213
>it woulda been better than nothing
It is, but not by much. Unfortunately, you just can't do much with the grey because no part swapping will really match up.
>>6285681
Does the hair come all the way off?
I know it doesn't on most Polys but it does for my Clover so if it does that might be swappable at least.
>>6285681
tru. gray shamrock is certainly a lot less aesthetically pleasing that white shamrock, but i also would have been pretty guiltless in modding the fuck out of him. d'oh well.
holding out hope for an eventual o.g. duo re-release. a girl can dream right
>>6285681
Hey, anon. Did you do that panel lining?
>>6285877
Yes, though I'm not sure if the connectors for the hair (the back of the head has this weird plug shape on the inside) work with other polys, never really checked.
>>6286942
Yeah, it's kind of bullshit they haven't dumped out white rereleases yet, I mean, the market is clearly there for it if the aftermarket prices on these things is any indication.
>>6286955
Yes, it's nothing special. I did it with a mechanical pencil.
What is the difference between the first Yume and the renewal ver.?
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-013442
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-019540
Also reissue of the white Clover and Shamrock fucking when??
>>6288570
>Also reissue of the white Clover and Shamrock fucking when
Right after you buckle and order the originals for rape price.
>>6288570
First Yume had tons of QC issues. Loose joints, yellowing, etcetera. Daibadi basically re-released her with a different coating to preserve the value of the few original-release figures that didn't fall apart or yellow. I don't own either, but the re-release is way more worth it IMO for the reduced risk of getting a trash figure
Clover's thighs look so much better on Shamrock. Chubby traps > normal traps
>>6288586
oh, ok
thanks
>>6288589
>>6288570
On the re-release Yume the hip joint for the right leg peg is loose, at least on mine and a few other anons' figs.
On mine the peg that holds the skirt in place is also loose. It's a shame because I like the figure a lot but posing her is an act of frustration because she's always falling apart.
I want Vania too but I'm going to wait until release and hear how she turns out before buying.
Could there be a way of somehow modding this thing so that the joints don't come off every time? I'm not talking about increasing the interference using glue or future polish. More like a mechanical modification to somehow lock the joints in the sockets.
>>6289057
There would be no reason to do that, honestly.
>>6289063
I don't think I follow. What do you mean?
This is sort of what I have in mind.
>>6289159
No, I totally got what you meant, I just see no reason to actually bother to modify these things so you can't pull out and replace a joint if you ever actually needed to.
Any news about this one? Will she be released this month?
>>6289353
Pinkle was delayed to May.
>>6289159
You can't swap parts then? Like then you can't use the alt hands or do things like take off Yume's skirt.
>>6289211
You are correct. It's just that this isn't such a problem with figmas and revoltechs and I still can partswap. I don't mean a forever stuck there solution, something just to make it a little harder to come off but still allow for smooth joint movement. The grey ones are much harder to move and I'm afraid I'll break it.
Pics of Pinkle's sample review.
Blog also mentions that the date being pushed back helps them secure good production quality. Also that they reviewed the production process and can now deliver better quality products to everyone and even though they are a small company they will do their best to keep delivering better quality products.
>>6290074
>I'm an airplane

>>6290079
Here's what she would look like with Mel's head. Kinda diggin it. Reminds me of some sort of magical girl.
>>6290081
And here she is with a smile on her face.
>>6290081
that IS freaking cute
>>6290081
I like the sentai feel she has with Mel's head.
Makes me wish I could afford extras to make a little sentai squad with Yume, Emil, Mel, and Clover.
Unfourtunatly I am swamped with preorders next month and can only afford one.
>>6290083
Cute.
I like the mouthless faces a little better but faceswaps look better than I had imagined.
If she looked this nice all the time...
>>6293849
well dont hotglue her and she will
>>6290079
Goddamn that's a nice pose.
Hey there. I don't suppose there are any hands i can buy for my shamrock so she can hold things are there?
>>6246079
Yes please. My goodness.
>>6250996
Where did you get the extra accessories?
Painted Lucio prototype coming soon.
>>6295039
Hlj: https://hlj.com/product/POA38004
Ive been really busy lately so I haven't had time to try to make the small pegs bigger and pink stickers for the insides but you can use small piece of paper as a placeholder.
Since the holes are at a slight angle as well some of the ears dont sit as nicely as you may like.
>>6255474
>>6254234
Galko is based. It helped me feel better about being fat. And my janky teeth. Still wish i was stacked like galko or sonic meat though.
>>6295111
Thanks bud. How were you going to widen the pegs? Off the tope of my head, could you glue strips of paper around the pegs? Superglue maybe?
>>6294929
The more embellishments a polynian has, the less posabilty. She looks way harder to hold a pose than say, clover and shamrock.
>>6295116
I was going to try some layers of futureshine since it was recommended to me here and from customs general.
If not that super glue, the paper bits work surprisingly well though so I may stick with it for a while and try to make it look nicer.
>>6295132
Sounds good. Although maybe just leaving the paper bits is best. If it works why fix it. And i tend to think non permanent solutions like that are the best.
>>6295086
Can't fucking wait. I love Emil, but Lucio's color scheme and design is superior to his imo.
>>6295086
Looks nice.
I hope we get some partswap shots and some female conversion shots after they reveal it.
What's the latest I should leave it to pre-order Vania? I've never bought from amiami before.
>>6296705
Why would you wait? Amiami doesn't make you pay upfront.
So I just bought pic related off of the Mandarake Urban Mines and as you might expect, a major head piece was missing. The "bangs", side hair pieces, and everything else are there (even the faceplaces are there), but whatever the main head thing is that everything up there connects to is missing.
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but is there a way to buy a replacement piece? I don't want to buy a whole 'nother Emil just for that one lil thing.
>>6297728
Sorry anon. That sucks.
You'll probably have to contact Daibadi.
I wish they just sold parts, like bricklink for polynians.
>>6297728
How the hell does that happen?
I didn't even think that part came out.
Anyway like the other Anon said you should contact Daibadi.
>>6297735
>>6298048
Thanks guys, looks like I'll be emailing Daibadi. I kept thinking what a weird piece to lose it was. Forever a mystery, I guess.
Also, yes. Brinklink for polynians (or any figure, really) would be amazing. We need a site where people can swap spare fig parts. Lord knows I'm not the only one with random shit missing.
>>6300982
This would be a great way to get accessories, too- I know there are people who only display Figma/Revoltech figures with one accessory, it'd be great to be able to buy/sell the rest that go unused.
>>6295086
lort preserve me
i am so hype it's ridiculous
>>6301996
Never do this to yourself.
Has any of this stuff hit pre-order yet? It's been a while since some of this stuff was announced.
>>6305474
The only ones currently up for preorder are Vania and Pinkle.
>>6289361
On 1999 says "After May"
>>6307724
>After may.
Please no.
My heart can't take it.
Which niches/fetishes would you like to see Daibadi work with next?
I'd personally love to see a Harpy, although that's really unlikely..
I can definitely see them making a maid at some point.
>>6312710
>>6312710
Maids are good! I'm a sucker for the really cute girls. A nurse could be good, or someone with a really tasteful frilly sweet lolita outfit. Maybe an idol, too? There's endless possibilities.
>>6312710
A big poofy maid uniform (nothing too sexualized. I know that is silly for this line but it is sexier to me that way.) would be lovely.
Harpies and other robomonstergirls are too cool to bother dreaming about.
>>6312710
I'm with the other anons and would be all for a qt 3.14 robot maid. I'd also be down for that nurse idea but with faces similar to Pinkle's where its just emotive eyes.
Wouldn't mind a Poly succubus either. Won't happen but I can dream.
An early draft of Emil's design.
>>6314172
oh this is so much cuter than the brown. why tf did they go for the brown? and the hueg fucking clownshorts. final Emil looks like the unholy offspring of a UPS driver and a Kingdom Hearts OC.
>>6312710
>tfw they'll never cater to my /d/egenerate fetish
>>6312710
i want a screen faced bot or something with an inhuman face. would be cute.
>>6314172
I like his current form a bit better.
I do wish the shorts would have been more like the one in the concept art though.
The legs get all up in the way on the one we got.
Also wish would would have gotten the ponytale as an option piece or something.
>>6312710
It's not even a fetish but Daibadi is the only one who might make a figure similar to this guy.
>>6312710
A pregnant Poly, a loli Poly, or a combination of the two.
New thread when?
>>6317556
New thread should be up later today/tonight. Sorry for the wait guys.
>>6314732
100% this. Normal screen face, static face, maybe a mold for a cracked face?
Screenfaces are both a big interest and a big kink of mine, and the idea of a screenface Poly turns me on more than it reasonably should
>>6317740
Good taste.
I am more into Pinkle and Drossel style faces but screens are cute.
New Pinkles ready for inspection! Let's hope they're all okay this time!
>>6318355
I hope so.
I haven't been this hyped for a pre-order in ages.
