Ouch, sorry to hear you got burned. Can't you return it to the vendor and get your money back? Was it listed as a legit Figma figure?

how are the joints on it? after reading about the recent flood of bootlegs and people easily getting refunded for most of them, i have considered picking up a Derpcel to use as custom fodder.

finally w-dolphin is on route to her new home: my place

now i have to think about getting tigris, eukrante or the snack maids.....

bah! i better get the older waves first....

I've decided to keep her anyway. The real thing is hard to come by at a decent price. Also, I left the seller, tandyrobot, a name I've already heard elsewhere as a source for bootlegs, neutral feedback without bothering to call them out. But hey! they got a 5-star shipping rating! For only $5 I got Dorcel from Hong Kong in about 2 weeks. I assume that was SAL... They shipped it out the next business day. I definitely can't say the same about the seller who took at least three weeks to ship my Figma Saber Lily (who then took another five weeks to get here...). And the listing was ambiguous; it was a "Figma brand" but not a "Max Factory Figma." It was also "definitely a collector's item and sealed." And, in fact, it did come in a legitimate box, with a possibly legitimate Figma baggie...

As for the quality (read: QUARITY!) of Fegmuh Dorcel herself... The joints vary greatly from squeaky tight (there have been reports of breakage; I've been careful) to dangly loose. If you hold her hips, her upper body sways and vice-versa. The plastic feels brittle and the chest is hollow. Also, her fighter's visor covers more of her eyes than it should... Don't worry, Dorcel, you don't need to see to fight... Anyway, she's adorable and expressive in her own right. I actually recommend her for anyone who can't find or afford a legitimate Figma Drossel. After all, how bad can you complain for less than $30 shipped. Shipped! From Hong Kong! That's a great price!

To keep this on topic: I plan on getting Harmony Grace after my pre-ordered stuff from BBTS ships out and after my sister's 16th birthday. I'm gonna replace her lost iPod nano. Also, I've got to let my account recover from the Knight Morpher commander (HoS Optimus Prime) and Crazy Devy Mean Robots Power Parts (Legends Devastator add-on kit). Paycheck after that, I'll pick up the mischievous nun so she can keep her sister company... Hopefully, this will happen before Altrene ships...

Start with Eukrante.

Trust me.

If all goes well, my next purchase'll be Altrene, Altines and Desert Mur. If it doesn't go well, it's still Desert Mur and Altrene.

Managed to pull back from Valona MKII.

Kohiru, however, is en route.

I am going to hell :x

Correction: Altrene and Altines pre-ordered. Desert Mur'll be next times.

Well, I just rushed in an order for Altines...
But I have NO IDEA if my proxy is going to be able process it in time. *sighs*

Good luck D:!!
