I have that Max Factory Etna, it's great. The only other model I've really wanted is one of the YF-19 fully transformable figures from Macross Plus, but they're all like $150.
I don't have any gaming figures, but I do have some sweet PVCs from Bleach, Berserk, and Tenjho Tenge.
Oh and OP, I friended your main LJ and your stuff LJ, you seem pretty cool. My LJ name is the same as my name here.
Thanks :'D. Haha, I should really update my main LJ. I haven't done it in like, a year.
Bleach? Which ones? I was tempted to get the Yoruichi Megahouse one, but I decided to save my money instead since I already had my two favourite characters from that figure line (Renji and Rukia)

Yoruichi is discontinued, but you still might be able to find her on some other websites. There are also Ichigo, Matsumoto and Orihime figures from the same line, but only Ichigo is still available from HLJ (Renji is also discontinued).

Have they ever made a Gin figure? Gin's my favorite character. I doubt they have because he's such a minor character these days.
Anyway, my collection sucks and I don't even have a camera to post pictures. Basically, all I have is the first series of the SMT demons, a Phoenix Wright figure from the chest up with the court wall behind him but he's in an alternate brown color scheme, Etna, and Flonne. I have SMT series 2 on the way though as well as a Nami ver.2. They'll probably arrive tomorrow.

I hope they make a Gin figure . He was awesome on the SS arc, but yeah, he has kinda faded these days. He was quite popular in the last character poll though. There have been little trading figures ones of him, but nothing in a larger scale.
Nami V2? Win :^:. I missed out on the first Skypiea edition of her so I'm glad they did another one. And her Water 7 outfit is quite nice. I'm waiting for the next round of Portrait of Pirates; I hope they do a Franky.

Franky would be great but I would kill for a Sogeking figure. That would be so many kinds of awesome. My problem was I only really got into OP within the last 8 months or so once I finally got torrents working I missed out on all the cool figures that came out before then. So I'm just trying to get what I can now. I wish Gin had more stuff but I think he only has like 2 figures and they're both from gashapon type things so there's no guarantee you'll even get him.
Here is one of my finished SRW:OG models: The Weissritter
Normal Pose
Using its Beam Cannon
Holding the awesome oxtonge rifle
I still have to put together my Alteisen model, and also have all of the current Revoltech Eva's. Will try to get some decent pics up tonight or tomorrow.

There are rules against thread assassination. Lots of people still do it, even in that thread, so I'm not sure why you and a few others got singled out.
If you want a more concrete reason, PM Echo, since he's the one that jailed you. It's actually against the rules to ask about it outside of a PM as well.
Better than your podcast. I guess that's not saying much though.
So I'll say that model is pretty well done.
The gabe part is fine, but Tycho doesn't even look like Tycho besides the shirt. The facial structure is off, aswell as the hair and hair color. I think they should have made the face not as wide.

Not "they" so much as "me".
For my first sculpture, I was rather pleased with it. The CTS is actually turning out much better.

Have you ever thought about coloring Tycho's hair to his character?
Edit: What's CTS? Is it a type of molding material?

No.
The thing I was least happy with was the quality of the paints I had available for it. I made it in a few days before PAX two years ago and gave it to them. Last I heard, it was in the office, although I didn't have the materials to make a proper cast, so it might have broke again.
The hair is darker than I wanted it to be, but all in all, I was happy.
And a mid-progress one:
EDIT: CTS = Cardboard Tube Samurai. After making those with Sculpey Primo, and having some detailing issues, I moved to Super Sculpey and I won't go back. Some people suggest a mixture, but I like the firmness like it is.

Cardboard Tube Samuari if I had to guess. Also I would refrain from making nasty comments about something that most people can tell is homemade.

Man, that was tame compared to when I jumped on a sculpting forum and asked about armatures. The biggest problem with that first piece was that the support structure wasn't strong enough, and I posted a picture of it, and got torn apart.
How does it feel in the finished product? Is it really hard? It looks like it's mushy in that second shot. How do you get the shape in place?
And yeah, sorry about saying it was terrible. I had no idea you made it, thought it was some commercial product.
Depending on which polymer clay you are using, they are a bit different, but the "industry standard" is Super Sculpey. Oddly enough, I found it in constant supply in a local craft store until it closed a few weeks ago, so back to the internet for me. It starts off very firm, but you could still carve details into it. Sculpey Premo is more workable from the start. As you work up the clay by hand (just kneading or squishing it) or doing what most people do to protect themselves from early arthritis, which is running it through a pasta machine, it gets nice and soft. Gradually it firms up again.
Taken out of context this could be a rather funny post.
The problem is that Premo never gets really firm again, so it doesn't hold details real well, and handling it can leave finger prints, smudges, etc. Once Super Sculpey firms back up, it holds even the smallest details.
Then you fire it in your kitchen oven for an hour and you've got a sculpture. Most polymer clays can be refired, so you can work on a part, fire it hard, then build on top of it and refire.
When that's done, I use Smooth-on products for molds and casts. I use their brush-on rubber mold over the finished scuplture which generally takes sitting overnight, but then you have an exact mold of your sculpture, and then I use their liquid plastic casts, which is like a urethane casting resin. So far it's worked out well for me on a couple of other projects, but as they were all gifts for family, I haven't done photos. Just angels and a school teacher for my sister, etc.
EDIT: Don't worry about the criticism, I have a thick skin.
Thanks. Very nice. Now i'll just have to find a way to get some cash from my Wii fund(i've been put on a budget this month, between comics and video games, i've been spending a bit too much) and hopefully get a chance to order that thing.

Looks like you have until Nov. 1st.
and for the record, I've had great experiences with Estarland, always great service.
This was released a long time ago, I guess Estarland is getting more in November.

Last time I waited for a restock from them, they tacked on a few more months when the day came around. And then they didn't deliver on their original statement. I bought a few figures from a gashapon set, and they said I could choose which ones. Then they told me they couldn't do that, and offered to send me random boxes. So I asked for my money back. And I don't remember if I ever got it back.

Thanks :'D. Haha, I should really update my main LJ. I haven't done it in like, a year.
Bleach? Which ones? I was tempted to get the Yoruichi Megahouse one, but I decided to save my money instead since I already had my two favourite characters from that figure line (Renji and Rukia)
Shihouin Yoruichi
Kuchiki Rukia and Kon (pics of the one I have)
Yoruichi is discontinued, but you still might be able to find her on some other websites. There are also Ichigo, Matsumoto and Orihime figures from the same line, but only Ichigo is still available from HLJ (Renji is also discontinued).

However I will post Deadpool
Shutup he's in video games too.
EDIT: Actually, screw that, I'll post them
I hope they make a Gin figure

I shall resolve that this Christmas.
Also, could I be told why I was jailed in a PM? I'm not mad I just want to know what I did.
If I had to guess...

So I went with that one, instead of the $65 Cloud+ Bike.
Heres' a better picture
