Oh, they'll most likely appear on eBay -that's how I want to get Altrene Viola- but they will be expensive. Super expensive.

Just purchase from a reliable proxy service. Ebay is always more expensive and not guaranteed to show up. You'll never get them at near the msrp because of markup, ebay fees, exchange fees.

Ceta, I was iffy on the idea of using a proxy service, too, but the fact of the matter is that eBay is more expensive in the long run. eBay sellers know what you would normally pay by using a proxy service and use that as their price set rather than the MSRP. However, my Arnval and Strarf Mk 2s changed my mind on proxies forever. Totally worth it.

the proxy site is better, i was unsure and thought it would be a rip off but its not and its totally easy and they even translate the price for you, one email is all it take to get started and no accounts needed, proxy is the way to go

Well, Rosa pre-ordered. I wish I could swing Viola... something about her appeals to me, but I need Rosa for the comic, and swinging just her was a stretch.

(And for you comic speculation hounds? She's for WAY in the future of the comic. She won't appear in the current arc at all)

hmm, picking characters for comics that havent been writen and you dont own yet? sounds risky, but alas i have chosen to start a comic as well if i ever get altrene and valona

It's for something WELL in the future, and which I can find a substitute for, or write around if need be.

This is generally how it works. I plan out the comic WAY in advance, get an ideaof the major players I need, then start looking out for figures that fit... a kind of casting call.

Just so long as it's not a casting couch.
That'd be awkward to explain to your room mates.

I tend to do this alot. My biggest incident was when I was kicking off a story in my comic where some of my characters have to go find Rin Kagamine's body in another dimension (it's complicated). The story was already 10 parts in by the time my Figma Rin Kagamine actually arrived so she could play dead for most of the story.

Anyways, not to get this thread off track too much...I REALLY would like Rosa myself, since I like Altine's sculpt but the original really was skimpy in her body paint.
