Figure discussion/picture thread

LOL, I bought a figure from a UK based company to avoid any hassle with Customs only for the company themselves getting hassle from Customs!
It's my Rukia figure:

Got some new figures:
From Galaxy Angel Milfeulle and Mint - these two figures are almost two decades old.

Then Yuna from the Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Punch, it's the Large size Popup Parade figure.

I've had a cheery Milfeuille for over a decade now, and the pink is starting to fade in her hair. Plus the stand broke and she is mainly kept upright with blutac and by leaning on a friend.

Damage from a tumble in the past or do you think the plastic just became fragile from age? I've got a number of old figures, but haven't had one break just from standing, I find that they usually acquire damage from cleaning or repositioning them.
 
It was a fall, partly due to the studs in her heels not fitting snugly enough but mostly because the way she is leaning makes her very unstable (front heavy).

The above will be the pose I go for when the rest of the band show up (all up for pre-order at the moment), but in the meantime she joined the secret society BLANKET

Look how nervous she is having to socialise with someone as hyper as Nadeshiko!

All the parts:

Unfortunately Good Smile Company and AmiAmi aren't taking any more orders, but it looks like some retailers out there are still taking pre-orders for their own percentage added on top.

Gamersheek is still taking orders for Akari and Alice Nendoroids, but the price is quite inflated. However as it is a UK store you don't need to pay for shipping or import tax.

My last remaining 18+ figure I'm waiting on is amazingly still earmarked for a March 2024 release with no further delayed date changes, so fingers crossed, maybe I'll finally get it soon, perhaps in the next few months? It's been an excrutiatingly long wait since I ordered it back in December 2022, and it's the figure I've been wanting the most out of my three 18+ purchases.

I'll just add it to the list of things to hunt for when I eventually make another trip to Akihabara and Nakano Broadway (hopefully next year).

Some items do get delayed a lot. I recall ordering a figure that kept getting delayed over and over in the past.

I've recently cancelled around 80% of my pre-orders. I've become far more picky about what is worth getting.

omg, I posted this on Friday, and on Saturday I received a shipping notice and tracking number in the mail for this figure! This was the first of three 18+ figures I've purchased, but the last one to finally ship. She actually looks very much like my current avatar of Saphir from Tales of Wedding Rings, only without the dragon horns (or bathing suit!) and with a lovely kimono draped loosely around her... I'm so looking forward to getting her after such a long wait!
 
After finally obtaining more display cases I can now freely display these beauties dust free 🙌

After the Aria figure was posted, I went to eBay to see if there was anything (in my price range). Spotted one with a low starting price (£3) and no bids. Won it and it just arrived. DO I remove it from its box (yes) or keep it in its pristine state (£12 with postage - probably not a big resale value).
