Anime figures are truly modern equivalent of Greek marble statues

Preordered, because, the face, the stance, the boobs.....urhhhhhhhhhh

@matrix
No, I actualle believe that unironically. It is created to spread joy and be aesthetic. The same cannot be said for most of art.

Especially once you see, that this is concidered "art" by the most famous czech "artist"

@LukeAlmighty this is funny tbh and technically it is art, but i get the point, it's more of a shitpost and not really gallery worthy

@matrix @matana
Yeah, his collages are quite inspiring, and I even saw a few thought-provoking peaces.

But his absolute dick and ball collection was unironically half of the exibition.

@beardalaxy how much? i still pay have to pay 21% VAT and a processing fee for it

@matrix all of amiami's shipping methods stopped shipping to the US because of tariffs. So it's not about how much, I just literally can't buy anything. Including my pre-ordered fumos :blobsob:

@beardalaxy wow, i forgot about that, the tariffs are probably the worst trump policy

@matrix tbh I would be willing to accept them if the general populous saw benefits from them but absolutely nothing has changed and at that, things are only getting more expensive. Now I can't get my damn figures :bunhdgrumpy:

@beardalaxy @matrix it's something that might end up being good in the long term but that's only if trump and whoever succeeds him sticks with them and companies start manufacturing here instead of bitching and whining but lol fat chance of all that
@matrix @beardalaxy or you pay $$$ to ship UPS/FedEx (and tariffs ofc)

everyone forgot because Kirk got assassinated

@PurpCat @matrix problem is that I would pay more but I literally can't lol

@beardalaxy @matrix zenmarket and similar forwarders still do USA shipping (just with the private couriers)
@beardalaxy @matrix essentially the process with these stores is buy the item via the forwarder (have them buy it) > they get it and you pay > ship it to your country

also you get forced to pay tariffs of course so shit's more expensive.

@PurpCat @matrix yeah i really only buy from ami ami or the figure manufacturers themselves when the option is available. never used a proxy server before, don't really want to.

@matrix Adorable, but I'm afraid the shipping cost will exceed the price of the figurine itself. Plus, I have no space where I could display it peacefully.

@zatrsakr generally no, airshipping of a single figure is about 2500JPY
