No, I would like to know of why is it so cheap...

90 CAD is like 7020 Yen.

Limited edition figurines or 1/7th figurines are usually around 8K ~ 12K...

Have no idea about figmas.

Oh Canadian dollars. I missed that bit... Figma are usually around 2000 to 3000 Yen on AmiAmi, so it's still a lot more than the average figma.

Nendoroids are small/chibi, figma's are usually larger and poseable.

An update, I went and bought Figma Meiya Mitsurugi.

It's a nice figure overall.

I bought my figure from a local comic store. Though the availability of figma figures from that store is unpredictable.

------------------

I have thought about buying my figmas online but there's one thing that have kept me away - the shipping fees. :gloom3:

The shipping fees are just outrageously expensive.

For example shipping from America to Canada from BigBadToyStore is over $30 plus taxes with UPS.

I wish there was a better way to get Figmas in Canada. :cry:

Ah darn, I was afraid it was a local store or something. :/ At least you got her for a pretty good price. ^^

The nice thing about buying online is that you can do fairly large orders for the same shipping price. They (AmiAmi) can fit about 5-7 figmas/nendos in one box and it still only costs me about $25 to ship it. Buying them separately, yeah, it's in no way worth it. (Then again, I only use unregistered SAL) For me the worst part is actually the yen-dollar ratio, where what used to be a $25 figure is now about $40. TT_TT Shipping used to be only $15 too...

There have been a lot of online groups recently doing combined orders to save on shipping, maybe you could look into some of those?

Too many polygons to like.

And also, I just gotten my 9th Cirno Nendoroid and a Marisa Kirisame nendoroid to go along with it.

Preordered the Remilia -Pop.ver- figurine from Griffon. Will be arriving during October.

This looks amazing. Persona fans might want to think about getting this figure. An amazing 1/6 (?) Scale Aigis.

Shameless bump, but however...

I've made an account and it's

I'll still continue to post my figurines here, however.

I love how they used different opacity for her wings and the crystals in her hand, it really shows how much detail was put into the figure, as well as the gradients in her hair.

I saw that on the official site. I have that site tabbed.

Saw it the very day it went up uncolored to the day where they actually colored the thing.

Also...

They're still in boxes because family is having a 'moving/not moving' problem, as well as I still need to get a display case or something for them. Not getting any other type of figure because I barely have enough money for those as it is :cry:

I think I still need Youmu and Flandre to have all the ones out currently.
