    Same here. Then I went to the guitar shop and was sweating standing still.

    The phicen figures fill in a gap in the market...for example, no one right now is making a 1/6 scale 2B figure from the Nier Automata game but there is a company that makes an unofficical head and outfit and you supply the body.

    And as mentioned they can give HT figures some more realistic bodies for both male and female.

    They are very good bodies:

    Terrible. Awful. Cheap gimmick of a box, and trying to impress with a bit of green paint. Don’t want it at all. Nu-uh. No way. Not one bit.*

    *I tell myself as my bank balance braces for completely unrelated impact.

    Aww <3 Best wishes to you and your Fiance

    Thankies :) 

    Entirely fair and yeah, those boob upgrades are pretty blatant :lol 

    Not sure if intended but I read that as a reference to The Big Knights and now I have the theme song in my head :lolol 

    Ooh very nice, thanks for sharing! I must admit I've had my eye on some NA figures though the ones I'm looking at are about 10 inches tall! :eek:  I've fallen down the Nier Automata rabbithole hard lately and would love to have a 2B :)

    Thank you everyone for the info on signatures, I thought I was going mad(der).

    That episode was amazing although I can't remember a damn thing about it other than that dress. I loved her character and I'm really apprehensive about this reboot show they are doing.

    I'm not as into MOTU as others here but that seems a bit...um, yeah. Weirdly Scare Glow came in on the weekend and it was the first time I'd ever seen the figure (origins or original) and it was a lot better than I expected. A surprisingly good figure.

    Same!

    Yeah, SG Origins is great! I always work on 'see it for yourself' but I'd much rather have caught the show before I inevitably order Rev. SG. Oh well, wouldn't be difficult to sell. Assuming I can get one!

    First im hearing about this. Quick google search, seems its a revival, not a reboot. Grammer is still playing frasier and they'll address the death of the actor of martin, so I'll give it a go. Kelsey grammer seems like someone who has integrity for his characters so hopefully it'll feel like a frasier show, just in a new setting and new people. As long as frasier is still recognisable.

    Look for Superduck, they make the unofficial head and outfit...works out around £100 for a 12" figure when you get the body as well

    You can get official 5-6" Figma style figures under the 'Bring Arts' label for around £50 and i beleive the 10" ones are the new Play Arts which are damn pricey at £130ish (they used to be £50 each)

    Thanks, I have actually come across the Bring Arts and Play Arts ones and yeah, on the Square Enix site the Play Arts ones range from I think £150 for the basic version and £175 for the version with a pod, multiple swords, accessories, swappable parts etc.
    What is the usual sort of price for the Figma style ones? I see results coming up for like £30 but I recently got stung by what I had thought was a different legitimate Figma figure which I got for about £25 but it seems to have been a knockoff and I learnt such figures usually run around £40.

    And... Red Alert ordered. I wasn't too bothered by not having Earth modes for Sideswipe and Red Alert... until Sunstreaker came out. And when the only one 84-85 guy in my collection didn't have an Earth mode, I went and pre-ordered the Grimage set from Pulse. At least that should be coming out in November, so after Halloween pay day.
