Koto US has Midoriya up for pre-order with the exclusive bonus smiling face: https://www.kotous.c...-face-part.html

 

I still like the default serious face better, but I'm glad to be able to get the exclusive without proxy ordering from Koto JP.

I actually like the smiling face better. Somehow the open-mouthed smile balances out his big mop of hair.

Bestbuy 

figma Tracer $18.84

Nendoroid Tracer $13.64

[lilman]

I grabbed Figma Tracer (for $8 thanks to certs). Already have Nendo Tracer from Target clearance and can easily recommend it.

 

-Update-

BB shipped her in a bubble mailer. Box took a little beating, but figure is fine ^^;

Nendo Mei $18.19: https://www.bestbuy....p?skuId=5897108

Nendo Naruto $24.69: https://www.bestbuy....p?skuId=5714419

[Dead_Batteries]

They also had Nendo Mercy on clearance for $21.44 but has been long sold out. That's the only one I would've wanted to get.

Bring Arts Nier Automata 2B v2.0 (July 2019):

 

I like this sculpt a lot better than the first one, but I still don't trust Bring Arts to make a quality product.

 

Btw, I used my $10 TOM coupon, $10 free points from that app, and $16.50 points from premium renewal wisely ^^

Hobby Search 20th anniversary points giveaway game: https://www.1999.co....fference_e.html

Reminds me of Highlights magazine ^^

 

Here's my answer (try for yourself before continuing):

Spoiler

I numbered the blocks 1-3 for top row, 4-6 for middle row, and 7-9 for bottom row.

Identical: 4
Different: 1 (wall ribbon end), 2 (tree height), 3 (bird color), 5 (cat color), 6 (hair strand), 7 (missing flower), 8 (frosting height), 9 (missing squirrel tail)

Answer: 8 blocks

Kind of off topic, but if you like taking photos of your figures, Walmart is clearancing the Nikon D3400 (in-store only): https://www.walmart....cluded/54716231

2 lens kit (~$154): https://brickseek.co...r/?sku=54716231

1 lens kit (~$100): https://brickseek.co.../?sku=149947020

 

I was able to find a 2 lens kit at one of my local Walmarts for $154. BS showed limited stock, which at WM usually means you are SOL. Luckily though, the clerk I spoke with knew exactly what I was looking for and immediately went to get it from the backroom. It was the display unit, but the clerk explained to me that at her store, display cameras are kept under glass, so the body and lenses were never touched. Other than the box being already opened, this is new condition hardware.

 

My previous camera was a Nikon D3100. The D3400 is six years newer and should have a much nicer sensor. My D3100 was a clearance 2 lens kit from Target for $250. At the time, that was an amazing deal. This kit for $154 is plain nuts. If you can find the single lens kit and only care about figure photography, even better.

Nice. I've been looking for a decent camera to take photos of and did see this on SD. No luck though in my local area though.

Yuri Lowell Nedoroid is going up for pre-order today - looks like a few shops have him available (Ami Ami, Otaku Mode).

I've picked up a few Tales games over the years and still haven't tried one >_>;

Thanks for the pretty post    You should definitely try one of the Tales games! Vesperia, Graces F, and Berseria are my favorites on PS3 or later consoles. They're also local co-op, which is great fun

[elessar123]

Phantasia for the historical, Vesperia for the story, Graces f for the combat, and Berseria... I haven't played.

I don't know where they are in my house, but based on my Best Buy order history, I have Berseria and Zestiria for PS4. Also Xillia digitally for PS3. CAG needs a "sad backlog" emoji.

Berseria is a prequel to Zestiria, although Zestiria is commonly (myself included) considered one of the weakest games in the series. Berseria is very good though, in my opinion It's worth playing both eventually for the story connections. Xillia is a good starting point as well if you're itching for a PS3 title to play!

 

My RPG backlog is quite bad as well... darn adult responsibilities.

Overwatch Mercy Figma (December 2019):

 

Damn that's expensive for so few accessories >_>

[DarthPwner]

Rediculous amount of awesome nendoroids and figmas coming soon. Too many for me to list and up pics from mobile, so I'll let lilman do it. Lots of persona 5. Im looking at that Yusuke phantom thief version and Ciri from Witcher 3.

[R. Kasahara]

Nendoroid Amaterasu:



That is all.

Seriously, though, I had completely forgotten that WonFes was happening this weekend until a few days ago. Too busy packing stuff for our move!

Here's a link to all of GSC/Max Factory/FREEing/etc.'s announcements/updates, complete with pics - http://whl4u.jp/wh29/gallery/en/#/

No must-haves for me yet (Ammy is a maybe; I'm not the biggest Okami fan, to say the least). Will check Kaneel's annual list(s) on MFC sometime early next week.

A lot of stuff I'm interested in, but some I was hoping would make the jump from GK to pre-painted but didn't. Overall good WonFes ^^

Too much goodness to post pics, lol. I could make a sub-list from the full list for just video game figures.

Still no must-haves for me (though a handful of maybes). My wallet is safe

Gotta say, though, it's pretty neat to see that Koto's (very nice) line of Pokemon scales will soon include Professor Oak. Though it seems unlikely, here's hoping he won't be the last Pokemon Professor in that figure series. Kukui could make for a great figure, and I'd like to see Juniper as well.
