>lanky fuckman
that's my husbando you're talking about, I wouldn't pay WF rape prices for any other character
>>6395388
He is my husbando (in a non-sexual admiration kind of way) as well but the figure looks way too lanky to me.
Also the lack of a smiling face and the shitty accessory count just make it look like it isn't worth it.
>>6395414
Maybe Medicos tweaked the design with a bit more range of movement in mind? The way the hip pieces being lower than the crotch piece and the way the ball ends of the elbow joints keep telling me he'll pose really well in those areas and for poses when he throws the steel balls.
>>6395437
Now imagine how stupid those great action poses will look with his included expressions.

Still a bummer.
Does anyone know if there is a good deal on a particular JoJo SAS on HobbyLinkJapan? Looking to buy one to test the waters.
>>6396494
Kiss is pretty cheap right now. 2500 yen.
WF Abbacchio right here.
>>6396796
the most forgettable character in all of part V
No way to get these without buying the figures right? Fucking hate V2 colors.
>>6397042
You got a laser cutter?
Quick request. Does anyone have a picture of the photosgraphs that come with Old Joesph?
Purple Haze finally came in today. And needless to say, he's as great as expected.
>>6396801
Pisscop is based.
Does anybody know what WF Giorno's sound plate says?
>>6397673
If it's that one, it says kono Giorno Giovana ni wa yume ga aru
>>6397673
Check the OP soundplate list
>>6396801
I would argue that he was way more memorable than Trish or Fugo
>>6397452
Gee, anon! How come medicos let's you have two PH soundplates?
>>6397452
Nice, getting mine next week. How come you have 2 soundplates? Second hand buy or?
Unopened KQ 2nd and 3rd up on Mandy, along with a Stone Free, Jolyne, and Pucci.
>>6398049
wake me up when there's a kira 2nd up
>>6398049
missed out on a 9k killer queen 3rd
just fuck my life up senpai
Where do the WF color announcements come from?
>>6398365
I'd assume it didn't come with the Kosaku head, so if you wanted that it would've been a loss
>>6398442
I want KQ 3rd for both the figure itself and the neat exclusives it comes with, if it didn't have the Kosaku Head my collection would suffer
Just curious, which SAS do you think is the worst so far?
>>6398808
probably that tokyo ghoul guy that's in a suit. Just awful looking. Killed the damn line.
>>6398808
In terms of qc issues, Dio Black ver. has major issues that would make some regret ordering him if it wasn't for the punch effects.
>>6398829
Mostly this for SAS in general. The suit design just didn't do it any favors and the color choices should've been more subdued. Toyko Ghoul comes off as a series that has dynamic poses or interesting weapons and acessories from the few chapters and art I've seen.
>>6398808
I'd say p3 Jotaro or Josuke.
Is fifty bucks for Cripple Polnareff a good deal?

anon, i just want you, to really think that through. I want you to get that joggin noggin.
>>6395260
How big are the Super Action Statue BIG figures?
Also are you fucking kidding me Part 7s all exclusives??
>>6399177
yes but on the bright side, gyro comes out this month!
>>6399185
Yaaaaaay.....
Unless one of you kind Anons would be willing to middleman for me it might as well not be.
>>6399199
Just bite the bullet pussy like everyone here not going to wf or having friends that could pick one up
>>6399157
The Kosaku head came in a separate blister, it wasn't inside the box to my knowledge.
>>6399233
Someone on MFC emailed Medicos and said that Gyro would get a general release later, their response was kinda vague from what I recall.
Ok, on a scale from 1 to absolutely livid, how pissed should I be? I ordered Killer Queen 2nd (supposedly complete) from Solaris for $80 shipped. Figure arrived safe and sound, but without his soundplate. I like the soundplates but a figure missing one isn't a deal breaker for me or anything. Still, dropped $80 on a supposedly complete figure. Part of me wants to comtact them and bitch, but I don't really wanna send the figure back over a soundplate when i can't read it and have several others that look cool on display.
>>6399346
You're taking a loss but KQ2nd has demand so work with what you got. I never use that soundplate myself but I always view Solaris as a sort of more expensive second-hand shop so that's not too surprising. They always advertise on MFC and the prices are usually out of my comfort zone compared to the other sites.
>>6399233
>Source on that?
Read the thread, faggot.
>>6399370
They've definitely got a tendency toward higher prices, but here lately, they've had a few rather appealing prices( $50 Kars, $50 Wammu, $68 KQ 2nd don't think any are still available at those prices). They're also not as butt rapey as Plamoya. I've ordered used from them in the past (DIO, Koichi, & Echoes) with no issue, so this sorta threw me for a loop.
>>6399346
I'd contact them. They fucked up, you might get a partial refund.
>>6399346
>>6399437
>>6399536
I had a similar problem with them in the past, anon.
I bought my Kars from them. It was supposedly in almost mint condition, like 4.5/5. When the figure arrived I saw that he didn't have his horns. I asked them about it and they refunded me partially (around 70% of the price + shipping).
>>6398920
>140
What a rip. He appears all the time on Mandy and even sometimes on Ami cheaper than that with the extra head included. Shipping doesn't even boost it to 140.
If SAS took on Hokuto no ken, would you buy them?
>>6400445
nah this line is dead to me
>>6400451
Kind of the same here
I need Johnny Gyro and Funny with D4C
Complete the stands and users combos and main villain for part 1 and 2 and call it a day
Then wait until Jojolion stuff
All second hand though, this company doesn't deserve anything with the shit they are pulling
>>6400461
Second hand?
there is KO sas?
>>6400485
Nah mate, like mandarake, pre-owned stuff you know
>>6400489
ah ok,
but wouldn't it be cheaper to buy the most popular characters as soon as they are released?
and on that note, would It be a good idea to buy as many part 5 characters as I can now? the prices will go up when the anime comes out, right?
>>6400485
How does second hand have anything to do with KOs?
>>6400493
Not every character goes up in price, like Giorno 2nd comes up sometimes on mandy for 5k yen which is a lot cheaper.
New figures are the cheapest to get when they are just released. Older(that don't get reissues like Okuyasu) and second colors when they are gone they are gone so those go in price yes
Just buy what you want my man, don't go on a spree because of anime hype. See SicChan channel to get a feel of the figures you want to buy. Only downside of the guy is that sometimes he doesn't show the actual range of the figures aside from that he is pretty good and has reviewed every SAS but Okuyasu and Koichi I believe? Anthony Customs has a lot of them too.
>>6400503
thanks for the viewing suggestions.
Iv'e never actually ordered from mandarake, how is the shipping?
>>6400518
I'm from south America, a single figure is 2.7k EMS and wouldn't want to risk it with sal because third world country and shit. If you are from the states or Europe I'm guessing sal is safer and cheaper. And I don't know if I'm getting lucky but all of my mandarake orders were marked as gifts(without asking) so I think you can ask for them to be marked as gift so you don't get hit with taxes maybe?
>>6400530
>you can ask for them to be marked as gift so you don't get hit with taxes maybe?
Alright, thanks. last time someone didn't mark a package as a gift I had to pay quite a bit to receive my goods.
>tfw canadafag
>>6400534
I think I should add that mandarake has different stores but I think a vast majority is ok with marking stuff as gifts
Personally my country has no taxes for toys so it's whatever for me
What about Solaris Japan? Has anyone ordered form them?
What are some general accessories that go well with SAS figures?
(Chairs, tables, weapons, etc...)
>>6400549
Try to avoid Solaris, anon. Their new prices are ridiculous, and while their preowned prices may not be the worst, they're known for being defective as fuck. My Jotaro is super scuffed and missing his elbow caps, I've heard tons of horror stories from other anons who have ordered from them
>>6400530
As a fellow south american, I have to say the SAL gamble is quite worth it.
It usually takes a long ass time to arrive but it's worth it if you're a poorfag, and as of late, I haven't gotten taxed at all, which evokes a feeling similar to pic related.
You can even get extra lucky and receive it quickly, recently my Wheelnareff and my Giorno 1st arrived at the same time in customs, Pol came within the same week, while Giorno hasn't came in a whole month.
Boys I just ordered blue KC, mista 2nd, diavolo, wf giorno, wf golden experience, wf ger, Bruno 2nd, and sticky fingers 2nd for $300, what kind of quality should I expect
>>6400743
Standard. The only thing you should keep an eye out for is if Blue King Crimson's eyes are painted properly since that was his QC issue across the colorways. I can see Epitaph being an easy fix but the screaming eyes from what I've seen and handled bounce around being close to the intended look or being painted really wrong. I still remember one of Baldy's KC's looking upward instead of forward.
>>6400752
Who is baldy? Is this on both the colorways or just the blue?
>>6400837
>across the colorways
So KC 1st, WF, and Blue Ver.
Baldy was a namefag who use to frequent here. Normally I filter names but I did like the photos he puts up and that story about that destroyed Clear Killer Queen box still gets me to this day.
It adds character, senpai.
>>6395247
How much am I fronting for a Jonathan of either color right now? Need to know for a buddies birthday.
Also should I snap up a Giorno and Gold Experience (or Requiem) now? Afraid that when we get a Part V announce they'll jump up like the Diamond cast did.
>>6401393
Jonathan usually goes for upwards of 8000 yen.
There is a chance that Giorno and GE(R) will be re-released, but don't count on it
Dammit, just missed a Stone Free that went up on Mandarake.
Is it just me or has the releases of sas figures slowed down as of late? Feels like i've been waiting for Johnny for an unreasonably long time.
>>6401600
They have. It's crazy to see Yoichi not having a release date since the painted reveal since I expected to see preorders up around a few months after. JJBA slowed to a crawl for even reissues.
If or when Part 5 gets an anime I'd imagine they will ramp up production for some reissues with a recolor or two if we're lucky. The threads reflect that with mostly anon's starting to get into this line or rushing to buy Part 5 SAS before they become hard/expensive to find.
>>6401536
How did Johnathan jump that high up in price? That's insane.
>>6401548
I wish I hadn't skipped Stone Free when it first came out.
>>6401393
I feel like King Crimson is the one to get

>tfw we'll never get an actual Weather Report stand SAS
>>6400461
what stuff have they been pulling? Just getting into the line
>>6402261
ABORT
>>6402261
I'm not entirely sure either, but I'm guessing Gyro 1st being a WonFes exclusive might be contributing to this
>>6402261
Anon is mostly exaggerating, but Gyro seems to be an overall subpar release, so I assume he means that, the lackluster SO line and the new Rohan sculpt.
>>6402294
>>6402284
>>6402261
lots of newfags lately, huh?
This line used to be monthly, whether it be a second colour or a new character. Characters sometimes came with different expressions and accessories! Weird, I know. To top it off they costed 3000yen.
Ever since they started branching out to other IP they slowed down. Now, you're lucky to get more than a couple a year, they are way overpriced (not entirely their fault, but too much for what you are getting) and come with shit all. Baoh and Gyro being exclusive is just the cherry on top.
>>6402303
That's not a new thing tho.
The line changed to worse version of itself over the years, but some of the latest releases, like Anasui and Weather, have some really good accessories, Anasui and Jolyne don't even get generic screaming alternate heads.
Obviously not gonna say Medicos doesn't do dumb shit and that their release schedule is good, but being this mad seems quite weird to me. Just don't pick up the shit that doesn't interest you, stop acting like they killed your family.
>>6402337
t. shiteater
Having just finished Part 6, I now truly realize the anger over the lack of figures it got.
I'm kinda surprised they didn't do Weather Report's stand, considering the final fight. It probably was in there for around the time of GER. But then Part 5 was treated much better in general.
>>6402805
It's a real shame, it's not a complex design and your color choices are mostly white. Easy one-off unless sculpting another SAS is costly to them at that point. I'm a little surprised they didn't want to ride the Jotaro train one more time to finish the set of Part's 3,4, and 6 (5 was a minor appearance with its own outfit but that's an understandable exemption).
>>6402808
I mentioned this a few threads ago, but a cool idea for Weather Report's design as to spice up the mainly white coloring, would be to have it solid paint from the head, but as it gets to the waist, it'd slowly start to transition from solid, to translucent to clear plastic at his feet, since you rarely see him fully materialized anyway.
plus the extra cloud parts, a couple of blood spires, maybe a thundercloud or two, if not hurricane pieces, but then again, effect parts exist as well.
I'd fucking love a weather report stand figure, though.
Finally got my WF Jolyne.
>>6403375
How.
>>6403472
Mandarake
>>6403495
how much did that cost ya anon?
>>6403577
7k after shipping.
Used Star Platinum Third up on AmiAmi for 7,880
what is the difference between a 1.5 figure and a 2 figure?
>>6404530
Seeing Jotaro is the only case, 1.5 was made to replace the original 1st's heads due to the poor sculpting job with the standard head you see on Part 3 Jotaro's now. Stuff like 2nd and 3rd are labels for the alternate colorways so Jotaro 2nd is his blue colorway and Jotaro 3rd is his green. There are other labels like WF, Limited Edition, and "color" Ver. but same rule applies.
Hey guys. I just received my order from Mandarake but it was lacking the stand of the figure. How should I approach this situation with them? Maybe they will send me another stand or a partial refund?
I was curious about green days appearance because Araki never drew what was below his torso in the manga. Found the video game model and it looks dope, if the plan on making SAS for the part 5 villians after Pro we better get these guys along with Secco.
Im also making a last minute prediction that we will get a Doppio SAS announced in text at WF.
>>6404666
Well, first of all I'd make sure the listing didn't mention any missing parts.
>>6404551
1.5 jotaro for 7000 a good price?
>>6404758
Jotaro 1.5 is expensive because he comes with a Yare Yare Daze soundplate. I bought a Jotaro 1.0 off AmiAmi for 2k. And the Purple Jotaro included the 1.5 black heads with it as a preorder bonus, so i bought a preowned Purple Jotaro off Amiami that included them for 3k. That might not be the best deal unless you really care about that soundplate.
>Koichi and Echoes are 6500 on Mandy now
Man I remember a couple years ago he was dirt cheap and one of the easiest to get. Think this line is coming to an end for me. Prices are just too ridiculous these days. I have all of Passione and their Stands sans Trish. Dunno if I should pick her up w/Spice Girls (Also missing Boss & KC). But at least I sorta have a complete group.
How does Ermes' gun look with Whitesnake? Is it possible to get him to hold it and look somewhat okay?
>>6405016
They were half that price just two months ago.
>>6405075
I've been stalking mandarake religiously for the past 3 months and that is not true
>>6405066
There's no hands on White Snake that will make that happen last I checked his box.
>>6405076
That's funny, I must have bought this from another store in Japan called Mandarake with a Nakano location back in May.
>>6405118
Sometimes good deals show up in Manda, doesn't mean they're the usual price. How new are you?
>>6405076
I saw him pop up like two or three weeks ago for 3.5k. Dunno what shape he was in. Mandarake's price listings are weird. Alot of the times, you'll see something for one price only to come back later and see a different price listed after it's sold, dunno of it's something to do with the way the site is coded or what. Also, anyone else notice that some on Mandarake's prices make NO sense? Like, they'll have Kakyoin pop for 5k sometimes, even though you can get him brand new from Amiami for like 3.8k. Also, if you go back far enough, you can find old listings that never sold still up for whatever absurdly high price caused it to sit around, Like they've still got a World 1st for 12k on the oldest page.
>>6405175
Yeah, there's a Bruno for 9k
Or Wonfest Dio for 7k you go to the page itself and there's more option for like 4k last time I checked
>>6405175
Koichi was going for around that price in other stores in Japan as well, Mandrake was really the only one that had random, inconsistent price hikes.
Kira Second and Rohan up on Mandy for 9k and 5k
How's Baoh? The articulation is good?
http://shishioh.info/SUPER_ACTION_STATUE_BAOH.php
My Jolyne's foot joint seems to be stuck, does warm water work or is there another solution?
>>6405213
Thanks for the quick answer
>>6405213
Thanks homie.
He has pretty decent articulation.
Goddamn I don't wanna buy it but I need it
>>6403375
Anyone got a pic of WF Jolyne and Anasui/WF Pucci together? Couldn't find anything on MFC.
Anyone mind swapping both Caesar's heads? I'd like to see the first's head on the second's body and vice versa.
Did I fucking read that right? Gyro is gonna be a wonfes exclusive? Shit, what's going to be the best way to obtain one of these? Mandarake after WF? Can you preorder it online or no?
>>6406070
See >>6395260
>https://myfigurecollection.net/item/322944
Some people e-mailed Medicos regarding an eventual general release for Gyro, which they replied that they do intend to release a Gyro 2nd at some point. Whether you see Medicos themselves as a reliable source, it's up to you.
The way I see it is that they realized that it's ten times smarter to release the exclusive first rather then doing it at a later point.
>people don't know when the general release will come
>people don't know what the other colorway will be like
>cool soundplate
as opposed to what they did before which was
>cool soundplate
It's surprising it took this long for them to take such a stance. It's probably gonna bring a lot more people to their booth in WF too.
>>6405229
I threw mine together for you, Honestly i absolutely love the colors of WF Pucci, but i feel like he doesn't blend with WhiteSnakes purple very well, i had to buy a normal Pucci for my main display.
>>6406203
Thanks!
The look good together, much better than regular Jolyne and regular Pucci, I think I might have to start a SO collection.
Whats the best place to get JOJO figs? New to Medicos/SAS line, and Amazon's offerings of ~$100 for older ones is....do-able, but damn, I'd rather not. Amiami is sold out too. Thoughts?
>>6406470
Mandarake, they sell second hand figures for mostly reasonable prices. Also check the OP for a list of other sites that might be able to help you.
>>6406470
Don't use Amazon for the most part. Mandarake, Jungle, and other 2nd hand Buyfag sites will help you find older releases.
Just wondering, on average how long does it usually take for figures to arrive from Japan?
It's been over a month since I ordered my first JoJo figure and it still hasn't arrived
>>6406508
Depends, what kind of shipping did you use? SAL usually takes the longest.
>>6406517
Just the standard shipping option on amazon
The final deadline for the delivery hasn't been passed yet but still, I didn't realize it would take this long
>>6406523
I hope your seller is fair on that if things go south. I had a really bad run-in on one who shipped an order on SAL and I never saw that package after 3 months. I got my money back but if I ever find a deal that beats Mandarake or AmiAmi preowned then RSAL should be the minimum deal so I can track its status for Amazon. Though it sounds like you got SAL which is slow as a rock and has potential to take months for some countries with no tracking to boot. The few RSAL packages going to my location in the US would roughly take 2 weeks but I'm not sure about your location and how long that will take in particular.
If you want speed, EMS/DHL can get to the US by roughly 3-4 days once dispatched though it costs more.
What should I be expecting to pay for Gyro second hand?
>>6406682
About tree fiddy.
>>6406534
Hope this is not a redundant question, but I used SAL through Mandarake to get a WF Joseph back in May, and it's been stuck in the outward office of exchange since June 6th. Never happened with any of my other figures, so I'm wondering if and when I should start trying to see what's going on?
>>6406729
Have you checked your local post office site? Eventually Japan Post's website won't be as up to date on your order status once your item hits your country. Also state what country you're from to help get a better idea on what could happen to your package since some places can actually take more than a month to hit from what I've read from other anon's using SAL shipping speeds.
>>6406729
Ah, probably helpful info. Live on the west coast of the US. No updates from USPS's site either. I've never had a figure take more than three weeks to ship, and they usually arrive in about two.
>>6406971
My general guess is maybe it's held up by something or someone didn't notice it for shipment but wait some more and keep an eye on tracking before inquiring its status.
>>6406997
Alright, thanks for the advice. Sounds like I'll just stick to what I've been doing. I'll keep checking both postal sites until August and then start trying to contact someone. Assuming that the problem's on Japan's end, should I try contacting the Post directly or through Mandarake?
>>6407049
Japan Post but I don't know how easily that would go compared to if your package got stuck in a USPS facility and all you have to do is make a phone call or an investigstion to get it moving or found.
Just copped KQ 2nd for 12k, pic related. Did i get ripped off? Btw sorry for phone posting
>>6407098
Bretty gud
>>6407098
There is one on Mandarake right nor for 9k my dude. A Kira 2nd for 9k has been up for like 2 days aswell which is surprising. I guess everyone is saving cash for Gyro.
quick question for anyone who's ever ordered from mandarake before, would I be able to add things to an order after I put it though? I haven't received a payment request yet and the items are from the same store.
>>6407935
As long as you haven't paid and the items are from the same store I believe you can combine them. If I'm not mistaken you'll have to conact them to do it since you already placed the order.
>>6407978
do they understand english?

AmiAmi has more details on Gyro.
I'm just going off of google translate, but it looks like he will be sold on Amiami starting August 5th without the WF soundplate.
>>6408184
Yes, Medicos will make 200 units available for AmiAmi.
>>6408186
That's barely any, plus he costs 8000 yen, hope he doesn't sell out in 20 minutes, because i'm pretty dead set on getting him.

greatly appreciated, thanks anon

DUWANG
>>6408266
The twitter said we are getting full details on all this stuff July 11th so the full shitstorm is delayed until then then.
>>6408191
I like it, personally.
>>6408183
>19800 JPY
>That color scheme.
Well, Medicos, after all this time you continue t fuck things up isn't?
At least Gyro is going to sell at amiami!
>>6408183
>mfw that size comparison
>mfw Jotaro BIG will be closer in scale to Jonathan and Joseph than regular Jotaro
>>6408331
What? Not even close
>>6408180
The sculpt on this thing is so freaking cool. But holy shit the price and size of the figure are just not working for me.
>>6408406
It works as a Jotaro and SP alone in a place just for them and possibly Dio and The World a big as battle
>>6408184
fuck me, not sure if I'm happy about this or not
I was fully prepared to pay scalper WF prices, not sure if I should pay the scalpers on Mandy or wait for the amiami listing and risk missing it. 200 units will sell out in a fucking second
>>6408412
If you've got a space to display them sure. But then your looking at probably around $800 for the four of them. And I don't even wanna think about how much more expensive shipping is going to be 0_0
>>6408418
i'll wait for gyro second
>>6408441
what if this is the Gyro second they were talking about? they were pretty vague about the whole thing
>>6408418
>Not buying one from manda to be sure
>try to get one from Amiami
>selling one for bro prices
Shiggydiggy
>>6408442
then it would be called gyro second
They heard the complaints about this one being exclusive, and they decided to let amiami sell 200 of them for those whiners. Pretty cool if you ask me.
>>6408180
Imagine if they somehow make a Star Platinum BIG second and it includes a giant ORA ORA ORA plate.
>>6408191
>>6408302
This colorway is looking great, Jotaro will look godly next to it.
P cool for Medicos to finally drop the hinge neck
>>6408186
Weird coincidence that they are selling 200, the exact number of people who want it on MFC
My Bruno arrived!
Trying to decide which Sticky Fingers to get.
>>6408180
The World and Dio if Medicos wants to be general about releases before tackling SAS BIG allies.
>>6408696
blue
>>6408749
I like blue better, but sort of want the ariariariariari plate for autism.
>>6408271
>getting full details on all this stuff July 11th
No it doesn't.
I've got an Abdul with a stiff right shoulder. Like, completely stiff, it won't budge even a little. Is there anything I can do to get the thing moving without fucking it up, aside from using my brute strength (since that didn't work)?
>>6408943
Warm water, move to hot if it's really stuck on there. Don't force it too much
>>6408180
>>6408271
>>6408842
When I added
>More info on July 11th
That was when they haven't put up their specification page on yet.
July 11th is going to be the date to pre-order on many sites.
I forgot to delete it in the making of the post.
Is it just me or do part 5 figures feel so much more fragile than the rest of the line? I just started my part 5 collection and I have figures from all other parts omit 7, I just got Bruno and diavolo and they seem like they can break so easily. Also rate my pose and tell me if you want to see more
>>6409027
Bruno looks really stiff and I'm not even sure what's going on with him if he's using the zipper effect. Take a second look before uploading and see if it meets your idea of the shot.
>>6408696
There's a dude on the BTS thread selling Pink.
>>6409081
Yeah, I saw it. Was tempted to get it and the Bruno for the plates but I don't know.
>>6409125
>>6408696
If you want the plate you're going to compromise.
>>6409048
I realize. Maybe this shot is better, I originally tried to have him coming out of the zipper but it didn't look great
>>6409131
>heads not on the corresponding bodies
My autism has activated
>>6409149
A little better but now the soundplate is drawing my eye and it just looks added in without thought. The legs are hid decently enough and you can't avoid the eye positions so that so that's fine. It needs a little more refinement but it's better.
So Mandarake - everything is marked as 'open' and 'damage to package' - ??? This shit legit or what?
Do I get Joeseph or Caesar first??? Each is 5000-6000 yen
>>6409186
>So Mandarake - everything is marked as 'open' and 'damage to package' - ??? This shit legit or what?
It's a second-hand shop.
>Do I get Joeseph or Caesar first??? Each is 5000-6000 yen
The one you like best. Don't care for Ceasar myself.
>>6409186
Mandarake is pretty anal about the way boxes are brought in but a lot of items have been opened by previous owners. You go there to off load various items for cash (or sealed WF exclusives for bigger sales.
It's legit and I've been buying from them for years.
>>6409186
yeah it's legit, if the box has the lightest bend or scratch they'll write package damaged.
just got in purple haze, its great.
>>6409997
I'm flattered that someone copied my pose, looks great anon
>>6410087
Copied you? Nigga i found it on /wg/ a long time ago
Since we're Fugo/PH posting, I'll contribute my latest pose. (Double PH soundplate anon, BTW.)
Which figures are most important to start out with in a part 5 collection? Who has the most priority? I am late to the game on these and already have ample figures on all other parts sans 7 and want to know who is going to get more rare and who will stay in stock for awhile
>>6411010
I guess Giorno 1st and Gold Experience 1st. WF GE is surprisingly cheap and easy to find back when I started but I'm not so sure now. WF GER if you really want his Awakened Head since he price trends pretty low versus WF Killer Queen with Kosaku's head and non-BTD hand.
Also Diavolo and King Crimson 1st is a pretty popular bet from the anon's who rushed out to buy Part 5 SAS. Other than that, the rest of the gang is probably something you want to follow up with Mista and Narnarcia being popular picks in my eyes.
Trish and Spice Girl, Abbachio and Moody Blues will probably sit around for a bit more. Wheelchair Polnareff is also a fun recommendation if you can get him at a decent price.
>>6411039
Also forgot Bruno and Sticky Fingers. I can see white being preferred more but that's totally up to you. Look at their listings in MFC for the bonuses the 2nd variants come with and judge which you would prioritize more.
>>6411010
1st step: buy everything in stock while you can. blue mista, white bruno, narancia and king crimson are top piority.
2nd: get everything else priorizing the figs above.
3rd: get trish and spice girl.

remember kids, don't order sas at 3am
>>6411339
I willingly bought a 1.0 telling myself "I can just ignore the face" But leaving him in a pose with his hand covering his face got old fast.
If you see a Jotaro 2nd that comes with the black 1.5 heads (They were a preorder bonus) i really recommend it.
>>6411427
are there really no poses you can put him in and not have it look semi decent?
>>6411427
Hmm, too bad, I have those bonus heads somewhere but I have no clue where to start looking. I haven't seen them in probably like 4 or 5 years but I know they're in my house somewhere.
Tested out the panorama feature on my phone on my collection. It's almost complete but i'm still missing.
-Dio Brando
-Ceasar
-The hand
-Kira
-P4 Jotaro and star platinum (I'm waiting for a pink/purple colorway to fit in better)
-Gyro
-High Dio
-The Rohan outfits
>>6411508
And here are the few doubles i've amassed, i hope we can get a full Passione of 2nd/WFs.
Post your own collections to make the wait for WF less dull.
>>6411508
I've never seen so much money in toys in one place. I wonder to myself if that's worthy of ridicule or admiration
Post god tier color combos pls, don't have to correspond just match. I found that wf gio head and gio 1st body goes incredibly with ge 2nd and ger 2nd
>>6411744
>>6411758
I feel Medicos did plan to make the Gio 1st colorway body work best with the WF releases and made the WF Gio Body work best with the 1st Gold colorways.
>>6411738
>I wonder to myself
Actually, you posted it online, so you basically wondered it out loud. That said, it's extremely judgy to act like a collector is worthy of ridicule for having a nice collection.
Do you even belong on this board?
>>6411462
well, seeing as I just idiotically bought the version with shitty heads, would you be willing to sell me them?
[email protected]
Hey guys I'm new to the figure collecting and wanted an opinion on one I just bought.
Was $50 for γThe Handγ a good price?
my collection that I amassed since last year.
>>6411824
Did you make those customs yourself or did you buy them? Pt. 8 Kira looks good.
>>6411832

>>6411824
Who would you say are the best and worst of the line
>>6411916
Not related to the JJBA line but the Tokyo Ghoul line really botched this guy.
>>6411936
Well Tokyo Ghoul is shit, so it's only fitting its figures are shit too.
>>6411936
God that looks horrible. What would be the best of the line?
>>6411916
for best I really love Both White Snake and King Crimson articulations and sculp for stand.on characters I would say Both Josephs accessory wise and articulation.
as for worst only Part 3 Polnaref's face and both koichi and act 3's lack of articulation.
what coloration of bruno is the better of the 2, and why does it seem like most people here have the blue one?
>>6411941
Kaneki manages to be decent even if they didn't bother to slap another joint in his kagune for extended articulation. I'm not a fan of the series but if Medicos made some effort on the line then it was him.
>>6411944
The easiest and cheaper option generally. Bruno 1st had listings putting him on the upper end of pricing in the aftermarket. Even my import store who marks up everything non-Bandai had him at $70 because he was the most common option.
>>6411944
the blue one has better headsculp/coloratioj which is black hair compare to whites dark blue hair.
>>6411944
Blue is cheaper, so it's a given for people who only care about having the whole crew. People who like Bruno a lot tend to own both though.
>>6411980
yeah grab the blue one it matches the blue bruno well
>>6411985
From that thumbnail, it looks like SF has it's dick hanging out.
>>6411990
I thought I was the only person who noticed that
haha
>>6411942
Kaneki, definitely.
>>6412068
>>6412068
>not the Kinnikumen SAS
Ok so this is a weird one but here we go
Can anyone post pictures of Weather Report and Killer Queen first? Preferably with the clouds too.
I realize this is a whole load of heresy, but I'm not too excited about spending 4-5k on kira just for stand autism, and Weather would in fact look a bit lonely, I thought it would just make sense to pair a lonely user and lonely stand.
>>6412115
It's not a load of hersey to have JJBA SAS as solo figures.
>>6412115
I've had hierophant without kakyoin for over a year, i know how you feel but just put them doing something and it'll be fine
How will the D4C figure work? Will there be a love train figure or will it just be an extra head for the figure? Will they do the pink/blue color scheme or will they do one that looks like vomit? Will it be an exclusive?
>>6412304
I honestly wouldn't even want the love train head (bunny ears D4C is best D4C), I'd rather them put the budget towards American flag pieces.
I don't think I've ever seen D4C not illustrated in pink and blue (videogames, Araki's colored art work, etc) so I wouldn't imagine them trying any other colorway
>>6412304
Pink and Blue is likely for a 1st variant. I need to search around for other possible colorways since Medicos can cherry pick specific colors in solo artworks by Araki.
>>6412336
Had a look around Jojoveller and the stand book and came up with a slightly different blue and pink D4C with black shoulders and a white and green D4C artwork so if Medicos really picks an alt it would possibly be this or a variation of what Araki did.
What flags are you looking to buy to go with your Funny Valentines?
Medicos lottery announcement was made today. Any other anons win a Gyro?
>>6412388
If I could get my hands on one like that then definitely that, the only ones I can find have all 50 states
>>6412068
Kaneki's pretty cool. Just sparse when it comes to accessories.
>>6411941
A few months ago I could have disagreed.
Now? I'll just say: fair point.
>>6413039
God bless you and your country anon
Went ahead and ordered a Giorno first, how noticeable is the skin tone difference between first and second? If someone could, could you post a picture of both Giornos with their heads swapped?
Hey, I'm selling a few figures. Not on BST, not here. I'm selling locally. I'm tired of my collection. Are these prices good? All figures are used, but they are brand new, with all acessories and such, the boxes are alright.
I'm selling for more or less what I paid for them, most were used too.
Blue Giorno - 82 USD
Green Shiza - 116 USD
Blue Joseph - 76 USD
White Rohan w/ HD - 82 USD
Gappy - 82 USD
Josuke (normal one, not pink) - 82 USD
Blue Jotaro - 82 USD
Pink Kira - 211 USD
I'm selling them to brazilian collectors, and if it looks expensive to you, its because here the government taxes everything and most people buy from each other regionally. We avoid importing them.
Just got my blue jotaro....is his head supposed to not be able to turn or is my figure just defective?
>>6413981
It should be able to. The neck itself doesn't move though.
>>6413954
holy shit dude, if those are the kind of prices you put up with then your whole country has my sympathies
>>6413954
>Pink Kira
>$211
How is Sticky Fingers? It's probably my favorite Stand and I'm hoping the figure measures up.
>>6414326
It's pretty great. The articulation is quite solid and it has a really nice, shiny finish.
>>6414326
It's really good, especially when paired with Bruno. Out of the four Stands that I have, it's my favorite of the bunch.
>>6413954
For those of us that don't live in Brazil, it's really hard to say. As an American, those prices look absolutely absurd, but, I also don't have to pay any taxes or customs fees on figures coming out of Japan. For instance, right now, I could get a brand new Josuke from Amiami for about 3800 yen + about 1000 yen for air mail shipping. After conversion, it should come out below $45 USD. If customs and taxes are so bad in Brazil that it nearly doubles that, then first of all, I feel for all Brazilian figure collectors, and secondly, I dunno how many people oustside of Brazil can really comment on your prices friend.
>>6414425
An American would not buy pink Kira for $211. You can get him for ~$120.
>>6414425
I don't know much about Brazil, but those prices seem way too absurd for me as a Canadian.
>Gappy - 82 USD
Gappy should cost me 4,860JPY (54CAN) on AmiAmi or 3,240JPY (36CAN) on Mandarake
Shipping would raise those to somewhere around 64CAN or 45CAN
Star Platinum BIG on Medico's site now.
https://medicos-e-shop.net/products/detail.php?product_id=396
>>6413954
As a brazilian collector, those prices are ridiculous, I would not buy any of those, except for Giorno 2nd, which is actually decent.
But as for the others, I import all of my stuff and I'd never pay anything close to those prices in a figure like Gappy and Jotaro.
Also, haven't been taxed in months, maybe the legislation changed.
>>6413954
As someone who's lived in Central America (countries pretty far behind Brazil, for the most part) the worst you could expect on a tax is somewhere between 10% or 20% on a real bad day. That would bump up Jotaro 2nd's or Josuke 8's price to $55 or $60 max after shipping from a site like Amiami, and that's brand new. Unless your buyers only know about Amazon, those will have a real hard time selling.
How do I make this peg a tighter fit?
Scared the shit out of me when he fell apart.
>>6414742
Here are more pictures of the peg and peg hole for clarity
>>6414821
Maybe Future floor cleaner or clear nail polish?
Is this SAS Big line new? I haven't seen these before.
>>6414856
They announced SP years ago and it dropped off the map for a while before showing it off again recently with Jotaro being the newest edition. I guess they finally pulled the trigger for release this time.
Why is part 3 star platinum so expensive compared to part 4?
>>6414915
People rushed to buy them even when places decided to mark up. Star Platinum 3rd usually was 3k, 2nd bounces around 6-9k(due to the soundplate), 1st I think was 3 or 4 when I found him.
I just think stores believe people are willing to buy him at that price and adjusted accordingly.
>>6414615
Another br. Maybe you weren't taxed because of the shipping method you choose. Because I live in Rio and almost all my orders were taxed in the past.
>>6414915
Older. More rare. P4 SP had a recent rerelease and P3 SP didn't. There seems to be a general preference for P3 SP (a preference that I share). If you're patient, Star Platinum 1st (green one) pops up on Mandarake periodically for between 3k and 4k yen, hell, I think I saw one pop up for 2.5k not too long ago(sold REALLY fuckin quick though). 2nd and 3rd are noticeably more pricey though.
>>6414742
Is it supposed to be moved around at all? I figure you would want to pin it and glue it back in to place.
>>6414856
>those boots
When did SP have those?
>>6415234
Maybe some solo artwork from one of the art books? I won't be suprised if that's the case or Medicos adding in a bit of Part 4 Star Platinum into it.
>>6411339
Oh shit, I thought all black jotoro are 1.5. How can you tell the difference? Sorry I'm new to the line
>>6413630
I dont know which 2nd you mean, so I assume you mean the WF one. The wf head looks marvelous on the 1st body, and those colors combined are the best to go with GE 2nd and GER 2nd
>>6415276
I meant the newer blue Giorno, I was thinking of buying just the body for cheap to have both pink and blue outfits.
>>6415254
The facesculpt. The 1.5 release fixes that with the facesculpt you see across the later Part 3 Jotaro releases.
Can you guys please me give honest prices for these leftovers in USD?
Thanks.
All are used, but in good conditions, boxes are ok, all acessories, etc.

Is there any good reason that Kira and kq are both so expensive compared to all the others
>>6415514
No re-release of the best colours.
Popularity.
>>6415514
They are popular and sell. That's it.
It doesn't help if you came in during the anime adaptation and Kira and Killer Queen were being reissued and people wanted the 2nd variants due to the colorway chosen. Hell, before that they were still a pain to find and were found for a pretty high price. Why Medicos never reissue 2nd variants and beyond is a mystery.
WF Killer Queen comes with an additional head and hand and the colorway is pretty great.
is $60 for pb dio and $74 for wf jonathan a bad price for them
>>6415536
Shipped and it's about decent
>>6415411
Are you selling Heaven's Door separately?
I'll buy it plus Kira off you if that's the case.
>>6414326
Sticky Fingers is one of the best figures in the line.
>>6415557
Only Kira, but I'm located in Brazil.
Don't forget to put SAS BIG on the pre-orders window
>medicos put something up for pre-order
What time to be alive lads
>>6415624
will this sell out before december? I'm debating whether or not I should put a order in or SP or not
>>6415210
Thanks anon, I appreciate the info.
>>6415870
I can't remember the last time an SAS ever really sold out before release so you should be safe.
I've been thinking about getting a WF Crazy Diamond and had a question about it. I've heard that the alt Josuke head that comes with him isn't compatible with newer Josuke releases. Is that true? How bad is the fit? Is it at all possible to fit it on the newer release Josuke's neck peg?
Many pre-owned's appeared on AmiAmi right now.
I need Abbacchio to complete my Bruno's gang, but he's 3500 there! Should I wait for him on Mandarake for the usual 2500?
>>6415951
Speaking from experience here, and do not attempt it if you have a newer model of josuke. If you do, when you take it off the peg will most likely snap like it did mine. But even without the head wf crazy diamond is still worth it, its superior to the original in my opinion
>>6415954
curse you anon, I didn't wanna spend anything on figures this month but I just blew 9k on koichi and P4 star platinum... also bless you I guess
>>6415954
So has figinstock completely stopped working for amiami or is it just for me somehow?

Guys, I need ad information.
I bought Jotaro (2nd version) on ebay, labeled as brand new. It arrived today but the cardboard is not sealed with tape (like, for example Robot Spirits from Bandai).
Is it normal for S.A.S. or is it used?
>>6416150
Don't worry about that. I actually think some of my SAS that came new from preorders have no tape at all when I got them in. I just hope you didn't overpay Ebay prices.
>>6416155
58$. But even the instructions are opened! I saw it now
>>6408184
What time does Amiami update for new figs? Gonna be there for this one.
>>6415536
dio is 40 on amiami
>>6416136
>horses will cost more than the goddamn clear killer queen
I'm not paying over $2000 for a plastic horse
Best place to buy loose/preowned/defective figures? It seems like nobody ever sells these anywhere
>>6416431
Read the OP
>>6416431
Try the BST thread.
>>6416431
Yahoo auctions senpai, they have al that stuff you want
i fucking hate medicos
put yoichi up already you dumb fucking japs
>>6416671
same
So dio arrived today, anything i should do before i start fiddling with him? The box may look damaged, but the figure itself seems untouched, and the instructions and accessories are still bagged
>>6418318
No? Just don't be Mr.HamHands
>>6418324
ok, I've never handled one of these older figures before, so I was just wondering if I should warm it up or something
>>6418332
If something is usually tight then do that. Never exert too much force and you should be fine. Stuff like Old Joseph before his reissue you have to be careful of due to the qc/design issues of his legs.
What is the worst in the jjba line? As in worst articulation, paint, loyalty to the source material, and overall look
>>6418367
recent price policy
>>6418446
frbr
Are all the crusaders really worth it to buy? And then all the stands? I have 4&5's crews buy I'm not so sure about 3 as some of the figures in that line have looked kinda sketchy
>>6418781
Polnareff and Jotaro 1st are pretty iffy but then you have highlights like Magician's Red and Star Platinum that are pretty fun to pick up. Same with regular Dio with his accessory count and The World. I wouldn't rush out to buy Part 3 really and espcially with stuff like Star Platinum 3rd being absurdly priced now for what he was.
If anything, Jotaro 3rd has those great punch effects and the same with Dio Black ver. even with all his infamous qc issues.
Has anyone here managed to get ahold of pb dio 2nd? Its pretty rare for no discernable reason. Id love to see how he looks with DIO or the world but I'm not sure how rare he is
>>6418839
There's none, you mean the WF or Wonfes variant and that's obviously a limited run. Check Myfigurecollection for possible shots
>>6418367
Act 3.
New ship to jump:
>>6418881
>>6418839
He is not that rare at all. You can grab him for cheap. I'll see if I can snap some shots and post them tomorrow.
