The other one I got is the Mirei-san Fine Art Bust. I missed out on the PVC figure and she was the first ShunYama character I saw when I first discovered him, so I couldn't pass this one up. I actually prefer the pose on this one a little more.

That new one based off ShunYama's work is beautiful. I plan on picking it up when it comes out but I've been going kinda crazy lately with my purchases so I might have to wait a little longer after it releases. The face does look gorgeous but I want to see it finished with the purple paint job on her outfit.

like u, normally with anime statues i'd rather see the production piece instead of relying on pre-order proto pics. cos the finished paint apps can sometimes be disappointing.

also, the thing i find strange is they seem to have made her booty smaller than in shunya's art. hmmm. :confused:

congrats on getting nazca btw. i almost got her, but somehow didn't quite like the weird base that's stuck into her back.


OMG, love the armour, pose, face, sword... Gotta get this one. Am I seeing that right? 340mm? Weird scale, or big tall girl.

yeah i think she's almost 14inches i height. that's the thing about yamato, their scale is all over the place. makes display consistency a pain. :google



snoopy: congrats on getting kasumi. more pics please! :D

Yeah I agree about her booty, they definitely sculpted it flatter than the artwork. That's the thing I noticed with the sculptors that do these figures, most of them tend to like their booties on woman pretty flat. :lol I'm still gonna get it though. :D

Yeah I agree the base in Nasca's back is a tad weird but just the overall pose is so unique and the figure just looks great, I couldn't pass it up. No comments on the Mirei-san? You should be ashamed of yourself!! :thwak :lol


Received this the other day from Hobby Fan...Shunya Yamash.ita Collection - Dead or Alive Kasumi

001-5.jpg


Congrats on Kasumi man! :rock I saw her at Hobbyfan too and was really thinking about picking her up, especially cause the price is so low. I wasn't sure though cause I know she's pretty small and I wasn't sure how good the quality and detail were gonna be.

So my question to you is, how does she look? She looks good from your pics but is the detail and quality pretty good?

well, my momma always taught me that "if u ain't got nothin nice to say, don't say nothin at all." :lol:lol

just messing witcha. :D

mirei san is cool and i think ladies in work/officewear can be pretty sexy. hence my crush on agent scully of the x-files. :naughty

but to be honest it's not one of my favourite shunya artworks. call me weird but it reminds me too much of someone i knew that i don't want to be reminded of, if u know what i mean...

it's great that u have her, tho. since u have the bust series, she will look great as part of the collection. hey, when u gonna get round to doing a group shot?

:lol I totally understand that she's not one of your favorite characters and I can see what you mean about it reminding you of someone you don't want to be reminded of. She's one of my favorite ShunYama characters personally though, so I guess we're on opposite sides of the spectrum on this one. :lol

There's a few of the busts and figures that I don't care for as much as others, so I'm probably not gonna be a completist with these. Although I guess I have gotten a decent amount so far huh? :monkey3 :lol

As for the group shot, I have 2 more coming that I'll have on Monday and Tuesday. After those are in my possession, the cool down period with these is gonna begin. :lol So I'll try to get a group shot by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Here's a couple I don't like as much as the ones that I have and others out there.

Rudy Figure. This one deviated a little too much in the face from the original artwork in my opinion.

Angela Fine Art Bust. Just don't care for the look of this one compared to the others. The eyes look a little too weird. :lol
KOT10288.jpg


Linkwood Figure. Again, just don't care for the look of this one too much. They came out with an international version and that one doesn't really do anything for me either.

Original Version

There's a few others but honestly if I had some extra money and there wasn't anything else I wanted more, I would probably get them. The ones I posted I don't really see myself ever getting, especially with the others that are coming out and the ones that have yet to come out.

Thanks, Bro! :banana

So my question to you is, how does she look? She looks good from your pics but is the detail and quality pretty good?

The detail is really nice and the quality is very good for a PVC statue! :D

Loving all the new stuff guys congrats :rock :rock

Ditto! Thanks and Congrats to everyone scoring new stuff! :rock :rock :rock
 
Nice, thanks Snoopy. I might have to pick that figure up in the future. :D The swimsuit version looks nice also.

Also.....I just want to apologize in the thread here if some of the pics I posted might have bothered/offended a few people. I went back myself and removed a few that I felt were unnecessary. I usually don't post those types of pics but I just love my figures and I got carried away. Again I apologize and I promise to be more careful with the pics I post in here in the future.
 
:confused:

eh? did someone complain about your pics?
i think as long the figures don't have their so-called private parts exposed it's fine...
 
Yeah a few people didn't like the shots I took that focused on the more risque parts of the figures. It's all good though, no big deal.
 
actually some members' signatures feature far more revealing images of the female anatomy. but seems like there's been a recent clampdown on that as well...

i always found censorship of doll/statue nudity a little puzzling. but i do understand that younger children visit this site and so a little more "conservatism" is necessary...

moving on, i do agree with u on the angela bust. her expression is kinda out of place within the sweet, alluring shunya universe of girls.

i kinda dig the tanned version of linkwood though. in fact i wanted to get her from a local retailer but upon closer examination, her forearm gauntlets were chipped at the corners, so i didn't get her...

Yeah, like I said before if I had loads of money I would buy all of them. As it is though, I'm just getting the ones that I like, which is still a decent amount of them. :lol

So have you thought about picking up any more ShunYama figures? I remember you saying you stopped collecting them.
 
i do like the kiriko hattori ninja figure (posted her pics a few pages back).
so that counts as a shunya piece i might buy...

but generally, yeah... i have tried to stop collecting anime figures. the wallet just can't keep up. sigh.

and u plus the rest of the guys are NOT helping, with all the great pics posted here. :monkey2

Yeah I know what you mean about the wallet not being able to keep up. Honestly I wouldn't have been able to get the ones I've gotten lately if I hadn't sold a few things not long ago. So I'm thankful I was able to get the extra money so I could pick these up, especially since I missed out on a few that came out a while ago.
 
i cancelled a few shunya-based statues in order to get some other items which ultimately meant more to me in the bigger scheme of things.

shunya's rogue and black widow bishoujo figures were nice and all, but i wasn't happy with their tiny scale, so cancelled em in favour of the adam hughes catwoman statue (cover girls of the dc universe). she isn't that much bigger either, but just seemed like more value for money compared to the bishoujo marvel girls. plus i already have rogue, in comiquette form.

so yeah, sacrifices are sometimes necessary (and wise) in this pricey hobby of ours.
