I'd love to get some figurines but I'd just be embarrassed by them. Maybe I'll wait until I'm done with college and live alone.

If you ever do, there are a few things you need to remember.

Keep them out of direct sunlight. It can cause fading and PVC figures can become brittle. Keep them in a reasonably cool and dry place, away from any heat sources.

Crappy bootleg figures are rampant on eBay. Don't buy anything from there until you can figure out who's selling fakes.

This guide has a lots of good info about this.

Thanks for the info. That's just another reason for me to keep them locked up in a drawer, out of sight, heh.

For whatever reason, even though I love watching it, watching anime or owning any anime paraphernalia is really embarrassing for me. Even when I go to buy anime at my local video store, I kind of wander over to the anime aisle like I ended up there by accident and something caught my eye.

Kind of like an anti-weaboo, maybe.

Even though I like animes and I think figures and models would be nice to have but don'tyou guys think it's a bit too much to spend 50~80 bucks for just one figure? I don't own any figures becuase simply...they are just too expensive for me...

Yeah, they are expensive. Which is why I have to very selective about what I buy.

Trading figures are good if you want a cheaper alternative. I like to buy boxed sets of them and then sell the duplicates individually. They often cover the cost of the entire set :)

I used to hit up Toysnjoys.com, but then they decided to fuck me out of $600 by selling me a bad pop'n music controller and broken gundam figures.

I've yet to see a single good figurine that I've wanted. The new KOS-MOS one looks pretty good though.

I've started buying figures of late. Got one fake off Ebay I took a chance on. It was cheap though and not too bad so can't complain too much I guess. I usually avoid Ebay though and buy from legiut sellers like HLJ for imports and TokyoToys and another UK seller I won't mention (Like to keep him secret coz he's cheap. Although he takes ages to get your orders in sometimes).

Just got this the other day. 1/6 scale Rider. I could not resist.

Yeah got that Kos-Mos on preorder. Some of the figures coming out in the next few months are pulling out all the stops in terms of quality. Some look as good as resin builds. Sometimes better! Shunya's figures are giving me a hrdon right now and I have several preordered.

Oh yeah and another reason I like figures. They are so cute! :)

I went to this site and it said painting/assembly was required. Which sites give you them without assembly or painting? I'm beginning to get into buying figures but I'm skeptical that I'll buy one that requires painting and I screw it up.

what country you live in? Then we can point you to a legit seller. Avoid ebay like the plague as it's full of bad fakes. Usually the retailer will say if it requires assembly. You are after PVC completed models.
