How sturdy are these figures? For my display pieces, I stick to stuff that's non-posable. For stop-motion, though... the more articulation, the better. But, sturdiness is also a requirement, as I've had figures fall apart while I'd be posing them for a shot. I would really hate to sink $50 into a figure, only for it to fall to pieces as I am posing it, or removing it from the sticky-tack (I use that to keep figures upright).

It depends on the figure. The Koto-MM figures are pretty sturdy and pose-able. MG Gundam Models are both sturdy & pose-able as well.

I've had a lot of success with Evangelion figures in the past, but I forget what manufacturer they came from. Great articulation and pretty sturdy, and the interchangeable parts are an added bonus. If most figures are anything like trusty ol EVA-4, then I'd be willing to drop the cash on a couple. One at a time, though.

How well do the paint decals stand to general wear and tear? Can you handle the figure without the paint flaking off?

Protoman Blues · **Reply #828 on:** November 14, 2012, 04:12:17 AM

Gundam markers work pretty well actually.

Quickman · **Reply #829 on:** November 14, 2012, 04:40:56 AM

And how much are those?

Protoman Blues · **Reply #830 on:** November 14, 2012, 04:43:28 AM

About $15-$16 for a pack of 6.

Quickman · **Reply #831 on:** November 14, 2012, 05:38:23 AM

That's certainly cheaper than I had imagined they would be, considering I'd be plunking down $25 for a five-pack of Prismacolor markers.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #832 on:** November 14, 2012, 05:42:05 AM

Don't worry. The cost of Gundam Models will make up for it.

Eva-4 means you got Kaiyodo Revoltechs. Since they never made Unit-04 in any other line except a model kit line.

I don't really get into models, pre-built stuff is just nicer for me.

well of course you can't sell two pieces of [parasitic bomb] together, it would stink too much

Even more dissapointing it's a PVC display figure. Useless and ugleh.

Well no [parasitic bomb]

that's the only way they can justify selling awful characters.
Because they know if they sold poseable ones I would make some beautiful figure gore.

EVA-4 wasn't a model. He came pre-built and fully posable. I have another smaller purple EVA unit (I'm not familiar enough with the series to remember the names, I just like the toys), and it also has some nice articulation, though not as much as EVA-4. Here, I'll dig up the video of EVA-4...

Thanks. There would be a R. Dorothy Wayneright next to him if the legs weren't so goddamn weak.

I'm tempted to buy this

You should buy it.

I would be tempted too, if it even was a possibility for me.

A figure of Dorothy is something I can strive for.

Shame I'll never be able to buy that [parasitic bomb].

Too expensive?

Also I guess figma Lelouch is getting a reissue.

Which means I spent $90 on an inferior figure, since the new version will probably have better hands.

I eventually will. However, X-Mas is coming up and I have presents to buy for friends and family.

Plus, if I'm going to spend $50 on myself right now, I'm buying Vic Viper first.

You guys should be cool and buy some fashion glasses.

VixyNyan · **Reply #847 on:** November 23, 2012, 11:01:49 PM

Rise Kujikawa's glasses would look so good on me~ ^w^

Yukiko Amagi and Chie Satonaka's glasses are good-looking too.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #848 on:** November 25, 2012, 01:20:43 AM

Kanji's glasses are sold out!
