Buyfag thread, whatcha buying/bought recently /v/?
WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW MUCH
>>380645609
Anime expo exclusive, Day one only. Hope you got tickets anon.
>>380645691
Nope, forget that, I'll just stick to the merch I'm getting from the Kickstarter.
I'll probably sell it all except for the artbook, sadly.
got this AM figma
>>380645461
>last bought Disgaea 5
>preordered Ever Oasis
>will buy Arms tomorrow
>>380645461
Just ordered this Lili
>>380645461
>japan
Japan likes Shantae?
>>380645461
Quite a bit actually. Went to Frank and Sons with my bros last night for my birthday, and all for under $200 this time too.
>>380646604
Shantae is more popular there then here if not for the kickstarter. They adore her.
>>380646235
Noice
Got this bad girl on pre-order.
>>380645461
what's with the other eye? Can you change the eye for that one? Also, why wouldn't you want to change? Why is there the option? Is there a joke or reference that I'm not getting?
>>380645691
>>380645609
Matt said that it'll be available on Volk's website in August.
>>380647131
Its classic style eye over modern HGH eye, You can swap em if you want.
>>380646973
Ha, nice!
>>380646649
I love going there , so much stuff to buy.Happy late birthday anon.Do they open on Sundays now or still Saturday and Wednesday only.
>>380647221
>He thinks it will be "Availible"
Charagurumin is like the LRG of figures, it'll be up for a day and then sold out forever. Expect to pay $500+ scalping
Been thinking about buying drakengaurd 3 and maybe even 2 and 1 after playing nier:automata
yoko taro really knows how to tell a damn story
also some of the yakuza games, always wanted to try em
>>380647493
Sat and wednesday as always. Doubt it'll ever change.
>>380647312
oh ok, cool.
i was suspecting that is the case. It kinda remind me of old style character designs from the likes of slayers and whatnot
>>380647493
>couldn't afford Tharja when she came out
>want her now
>it's scalpers and garage kits
>>380647557
>After playing NieR:A
STOP.
Drakengard ahs a great story, but be warned, its got the worst gameplay in history. Imagine a musou like Dynasty warriors, with no power ups, and just endless hordes of enemies that drag out.
D3 is better, but they're nothing like Nier and Nier:A in terms of gameplay, just know that going in.
Its cheaper on ami ami than through blizzs store. Go figure. Id kill for a fucking winston or zeny over tracer but at least her face isnt derpy.
>>380647823
I almost missed the Tharja train anon I'm glad I was able to buy her.
>>380647924
I love figma, and own quite a few of them, 70 bucks for Tracer is almost robbery considering how little accessories she comes with.
cant wait
>>380647131
SatPC vs. HGH pupils.
>>380647493
I would eat that butt
>>380647838
well shit
guess I could see if they have any of those cutscene of movies on youtube of 1 and 2 and then buy 3
>>380647924
By Figma standards that looks terrible.
>>380646545
are there tekken figs with hitspark accessories?
>buying dolls
What's the point?
>>380645461
>>380645609
>>380645691
>>380646017
>>380647221
>>380647497
According to their FB it will be on the US store in August.
>>380645691
>>380645691
Oh shit m8tie I'm already AX bound
Any details on price?
Got this guy for a great deal not a bootleg
anyone else got play arts kai?
>>380648351
That's the only one I have ever seen and its from Queen's Gate line not from Koto.
>>380648357
tHE TIP O MY DIKK
>>380648357
>Not buying dolls
What's the point?
>>380648442
>Garage kit
Oh, it's shit then. Figma when?
>>380648885
that fucking ruins it
i don't wanna paint shit!
i just wanna fig dammit!
>>380649083
Where can I get my hands on GK from japan?
I've been having too much fun lately. Can't wait for Kaitou Kid.
>>380648476
7000 JPY is like $65, so probably about $60-$70+ tax since no shipping.
>>380649083
Its a pre-paint, you just need to assemble it.
just got this today
>>380648357
To show my love for a series I already backed $250 into, and because my GF is a huge shantae fan.
Saw the dungeon master mode for Divinity:OS 2. Definitely want to pick it up, because I loved Neverwinter Nights multiplayer.
Decided to buy the first Divinity:OS game in the meantime. Pretty damn good so far.
last thing I bought was this, fucking huge
>>380651814
What on earth is even the appeal of Miku? Not baiting, I'm legit curious, theres always a fucking "Snow miku' variant almost every month and people just buy this shit, People have WALLS of this shit and its a giant green blob.
most recent vidya thing I bought was a midna oppai mousepad
Still waiting on my boy Phoenix to arrive, then the next vidya related figure is likely going to be Pixie. Otherwise I'm waiting for the Steam summer sale to consider buying a game or two.
>>380652058
i enjoy a few vocaloid albums and love rhythm games
>>380652058
At least it's not Funko shit
Though she has one of those too
>>380648234
D1 is actually better in gameplay than 3. I recommend actually playing it.
>>380651814
Miku is the only nendo that looks good
>>380645461
Finally, I'll be able to hot glue Shantae. A dream come true for sure.
>>380653030
Say that to my face bitch nigga
>>380653030
I'll hee your ho bitch
>>380653030
>*Sonic is the only nendo that looks good
Fixed for you.
>>380653535
>Pokedoll and Potion are Exclusives
Fucking GSC.
>Figma Red has Pikachu as an exclusive
Time to fucking stop
>>380645691
>Day one only
FUCK I won't be there till day 2
>>380653535
>Lillie nendo
God damn it. I don't want to buy it, but I have to buy it.
I have about $5,500 to spend on fun things. I've been meaning to get into figure collecting. Where do I start? What brands? Just weeb my shit up.
>>380654239
That potion looks like shit though. How do you get the pokedoll?
should I get half genie hero? I've never played any of this series before. I like all types of games.
>>380654069
Yeah, sure, whatever.
>>380654608
This is the buyfag guide from /a/. Should be a good starting point
Buyfags.moe
>>380654717
Play GBC and PC first. HGH is good but not as good.
>>380654717
No
Pirates Curse is the only decent game. Shantae fags only exist because they masturbate to her.
>>380646235
>wr
>tits
l bet some retarded chink did this
>>380654717
No. Half Genie Hero is a mess of bad level design. It's without a doubt the worst installment of the Shantae franchise. Get anything else.
>>380654717
Start with the original. You'll be amazed at how well it holds up. The animation is fantastic.
my collection is pretty meager
Haven't bought anything in months, but I found a MEIKO Nendo real cheap. I'll get her by next week.
>>380651814
Kinda jelly. I'd buy her myself, but I just don't have where to place her.
>>380654717
It's enjoyable but a tad overpriced. If you have a Switch, wait for the retail version since it comes bundled with the Risky expansion.
>>380650383
That's only half-true, most of them need some additional painting for details
>>380654775
>unironic hamsterposting
>>380648442
This isn't going to be some limited supply shit even on the store, is it? I fucking NEED this figure.
>>380655293
If this were the /a/ buyfag thread you'd get like 20 (You)s by now.
>>380646973
l want to "shu shu shu" that figurine if you know what l mean

>10.800 animedollars

>That shitty lightning
This was on purpose?
>>380646604
Who doesn't like Shantae?
>>380655293
>>380655607
>those lips
>that paint
For that money you can do much better.
>>380647497
What? You know 90% of CharaGumin are made-to-order and/or constantly reprinted, right?
You can go to the Volks website and buy the Lina Inverse they released 7 years ago, RIGHT NOW.
http://www.volks.co.jp/en/charagumin/chara_thum.html/
The only ultra-rare ones are limited-edition variants like recolors and Selvaria with Ruhm.
>>380655607
Thankfully, she's ugly, so you can save your money.
>>380654717
HGH is probably the least enjoyable of the series but it's alright. GBC might be harder to play because of having to constantly backtrack across massive swaths of land with enemies that take up nearly all of your screen and having a really FOV. RR and PC are pretty great with PC being the best one.
They're all fun games and they're relatively short as well even going for 100%.
>>380655293
kek what a fantastic photo
>>380655607
It looks like shit too.
Perfect for Futabafags.
>>380655687
It was the product of experimenting with different apertures. The dust is because I'm lazy.
>>380653030
Caeda nendo looks great, though.
>>380654875
Fake News x2.
Every Shantae game is great, even the GBC game which is flawed but really because it was too ambitious for the system it is on.
The "Shantae fags only exist because they masturbate to her." meme is beyond retarded. Why would someone buy a game just to masturbate to the protagonist when they could just google search it for free? Absolutely ridiculous.
>>380655607
Wasn't this supposed to have an alternate, non-retarded mouth?
>>380654717
Don't listen to the shitposters who are shitting on HGH because they are salty they can't get the backer exclusives because they didn't back the Kickstarter. HGH is great. The music and visuals are on a whole different level and the controls are tight. The way I would rank the series is with RR, PC, and HGH being about even. RR excels the most at being a Metroidvania, PC is the best in terms of platforming, and HGH has the best showing in presentation and controls. The original is also good, but dated and kinda clunky control-wise.
>>380656102
>even the GBC game
GBC one is my second favorite honestly. Maybe I'm just a retrofag but there's a lot to appreciate about it.
HGH is definitely the weakest one though. Still okay but doesn't measure up to the others. The character animations are pretty top tier tho.
>>380656707
>>380654676
Pokecenter preorder bonus exclusive
I'm getting into figures and shit.
What's the shit I should avoid. Are there any companies that generally produce poor quality paint jobs, or have their actual product vastly differ in quality from the advertised product.
>>380656707
>this is supposed to be a 10 year old
Nintendo knew exactly what they were doing.
>>380656838
Man that looks good. I love the muted colors.
>>380656940
May and Brendan are 12.
>>380656903
Read this: http://www.buyfags.moe/Full_guide
>>380656838
Looks great, but the mouth looks a bit off to me. Like she's pushing her tongue to the front of her mouth.
>>380656795
>HGH is definitely the weakest one though.
I respectfully disagree. I like GBC Shantae, but there's just too much that bothers me about it to think it's the worst.
>item descriptions
>no map
>needing to press up/b to use items, which leads to a lot of missuses because b is also the attack button
Glad you enjoy it though anon, this is just my opinion.
>>380656940
>>380657054
*As the rival.
>>380656707
>>380656838
DAWN FIGURE WHEN???
>>380656903
Best:
Union Creative
Wave
Bell Fine
Avoid like the plague:
Max Factory
Alter
Kotobukiya
>>380645461
>シャンティ
>Shan-tee
I thought it was Shan-tay
シャンテイ
>>380656008
Jerk off on them and post it
>>380657804
Nah, she pronounces it Shan-tee herself in the game titles.
>>380657252
This. I like to think that the protagonist is 13 to where the rival is 12. Here's why.
>A Team Aqua/Magma grunt outright refers to the protagonist as a teenager
>The rivals mom says the protagonist is ABOUT the same age as the rival.
>Birch mentions how he used to watch the protagonist when they were an infant. Birch is obviously the rival's dad, and the game makes it out like May and Brendan first met when the protagonist moves to Hoenn. If that's to be true, it would be likely that the protagonist was born a few months to a year before the rival and Birch watched them, then they moved Johto, and then the rival is born.
You can say I'm thinking to far into this, but fuck it, isn't that what you're supposed to do when the protagonist is a blank slate? Give them their own personality and background.
>>380657804
Not uncommon for a character's name to be slightly different overseas.
I mean, Mario is pronounced "Mary-oh" in the UK, apparently.
>>380657146
Open mouth figures are general terrible. Especially cheap ones.
>>380656903
>>380657573
You forgot the best figure creators of all time: PlayArts Kai.
>>380658165
This
Everyone knows PAK > Revoltech > Figuarts >>>>>> Figma
Got Raiden. He's fucking amazing and the quality is insane.
>>380657383
Probably after the D/P remakes. It makes no sense for Dawn not to have one right now other than that. She's right up there with May for most iconic female Pokemon protagonist.
>>380648037
gotta pay the Blizzard jews
>>380648086
holy shit, I know didn't know about this serena fig, gonna pick her up after my fucking Nep fig shows up
>>380656102
>Why would someone buy a game just to masturbate
People do this all the time.
>>380659237
Thar was taunting me for two weeks on amiami, hold me back nigga.
>>380659237
Can you see her lewdest parts? This is for research.
>>380645461
Tell me that top is removable? Looks like its removable.
>>380648086
nevermind it's fucking sold out and there are fags on ebay selling it for $300+, kill me

ahhhh
best girl sighted
but my eyes
they burn
>>380648442
well, not from US, so I guess nothing for me, anyway it's not like wayforward gives a fuck about europe.
>>380657804
Shan-tay doesnt work in kanji, Shantey is a real word, and has kanji. (like a sea shantey)
>>380660284
Sure if you chisel it off. Its a statue
I bought this Tales thing just the other week
>>380659538
No they buy the game because it's fun and jacking off to a female character is a nice bonus.
>>380660792
>Ludger leon and yuri
>For 25
Where the fuck are Cless and Lloyd? Judger is the last person i'd consider "iconic" for 20 years.
>>380660667
>Shan-tay doesnt work in kanji,
Anon that...that wasn't kanji. That's katakana.
And you're incorrect about that anyway. "tay" is most certainly a thing in both Katakana AND Hiragana
Hiragana - "てい" Or -
Katakana - "テイ"
>>380658012
>the game literally pronounced the name for you
>"NAH MATE THAT'S WRONG"
That's fucking retarded.
>>380660865
>Assumptions
I bought Shantae GBC from a local flea market in 2005 because it had capcom on the cover and I got it for $8. I loved the series because it reminded me of the megaman GB games I grew up with, and I love platformers. I never gave a fuck about her sexually, and nobody did until the kickstarter made her a big deal, which, I'm glad that the series is getting love, But I wish it wasn't for all the wrong reasons.
>>380660979
Who invited the rice?
>>380661185
>Assumptions
That's what you are doing.
>I'm glad that the series is getting love, But I wish it wasn't for all the wrong reasons.
How is people wanting to play a good video game playing it for the wrong reasons? Should they want to play broken games like Sonic 06 so they could record their reactions to it and put it on YouTube?
Got the new Samus figma and the Mei nendo pre-ordered.
I also just preordered a bunch of the new amiibo.
>>380660284
Oh course no dumbass
>>380660970
They have consistently been the the most popular male characters in the series since they came into existence.
>>380661674
I hope you realize the paint won't look like that on the final product.
Look up the Iron Man figmas on MFC to see what you'll really be getting.
>>380660865
Waifufags will solely buy games because they want a new waifu. Fapfags will solely buy games because they see something sexually appealing to them in it (especially if they have a rare fetish). These people exist. This isn't a judgement of Shantae games or Shantaefags.
>tfw will soon have loli in a skimpy bikini on my desk
Also got a Tharja!
>>380663424
>Waifufags will solely buy games because they want a new waifu.
They'll just watch a walkthrough of it on YouTube
>Fapfags will solely buy games because they see something sexually appealing to them in it (especially if they have a rare fetish).
They'll just watch a walkthrough of it on YouTube.
>This isn't a judgement of Shantae games or Shantaefags.
I wasn't implying how ridiculous it is to imply that the only reason people would play a Shantae game is, to fap to it when they could just google image search.
>>380664635
*I wasn't implying that it was. I'm explaining how ridiculous it is to imply that the only reason people would play a Shantae game is, to fap to it when they could just google image search.
>>380646649
>Frank and Sons
Oh damn, I haven't been out there in years. I need to check it out sometime but getting there from the SFV sucks.
>>380664753
its great but due to trends it Fidget spinner City right now. You wont find a single vendor who doesn't have them.
>>380650706
How much u pay senpai?
Posting entire collection because taking pictures of only the recent ones out is too much trouble.
>>380666934
Anon... Are you a homosexual?
>>380667149
Why do you ask?
>>380667228
There seems to be an overabundance of topless muscular men.
>>380661930
I assume it'll just be like the Other M figma but with prime shoulders. if that's what I get I'll be content
>>380667336
I just like Pro Wrestling.
>>380645461
I don't know why I bought this, other than I've always kind of liked Captain Toad. It wasn't anything like I was expecting, though. If not for the graphics, this game would be right at home on the Atari 2600. It's surprisingly fun, though.
>>380667434
Wow, 100% chance of homosexuality
>>380646779
I love Shantae too, but what about her specifically appeals to the Japanese so much?
>>380656795
HGH is definitely still better than Risky's Revenge. Shantae is like Kirby where everyone argues about what games are better than others but none of them are actually bad games.
>>380667654
Japan appreciates cute things.
Here is hoping Monter Hunter World gonna have a collectors edition worth getting.
>>380645461
Waiting on the summersale. Is the elite dangerous horizons pass worth it?
>>380655607
Just wait for this one
