iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls - Kanzaki Ranko - 1/7 - Bara no Yami Hime Ver. (Alter)

i know this figure is of high quality but that's nothing new , alter figures have always been of the high quality side. 30k for a figure(including shipping since it looks heavy)(also no bonuses)? is that how the inflation in figure pricing goes , it will still be made in china with the same PVC and ABS of many other figures. Alter has always been in the lead of increasing figure pricing and other companies would follow (even koto broke the 14k for a 1/8). So if a 1/7 would cost this much in the future, i would believe that all price inflation happened because of us collector because we keep going for them no matter what. In 2-3 years I wouldn't be surprised if prices broke the 30ks or even the 40ks but the main question is , Are we okay with that?

Note: don't get me wrong , I really love this figure and want it but Iam not gonna jump on the (iam okay with them increasing the price so much) wagon

Gorgeous figure gets a not-so-gorgeous price.

I think the 'send a message' posts are hilarious, though. It's expensive because it's expensive to make. If you can't afford her, or don't think she's worth it to you, that's fine. But don't go telling other people how to spend their money. This isn't some shit figure from a shit company charging a shit price because no one else is making figures of a specific character. Quality demands money. That's all there is to it.

Keelloo17 (24 days ago) #36407265I am having an absolutely ridiculous amount of trouble trying to get her on the base. The front peg will not go in at all, and I am terrified of accidentally causing damage. Any advice? I have also looked at Alter's article, but no success. :(

You can wrap sandpaper around a longer toothpick and try to make the hole a little bigger. To avoid small scratches on the bottom of the shoe you can use masking tape and only leave the peghole open.

You can also try a hairdryer or hot water which makes the pvc softer but I haven't tested that myself.

Nanahira (3 months ago) #32522213Anyone know what is that transparent pole for? I dont see the point putting it to support her skirt because without it she can still stand.. or is it really needed so this figure dont fall?

I know this comment is old, but according to the instructions for her, its used to sort of flare out the blue part of her skirt. I think it's to keep gravity from making it sag over time because it's very flexible.

was able to get her down to roughly 120$ shipped with a 30% coupon, free shipping, and accrued cash back on TOM ^_^ (got her and the flower holding 2017 racing miku at 240 for the pair)
Was so excited to get her without selling organs <3


Her quality is so beyond the quality of other figures I own, the prints on the fabrics are gorgeous, and the ruffles are flawlessly sculpted.
Mine does have the distinct bubble on the inner section of her left wing, but as long as she's not back-lit, I don't see it.
While I agree that $300 is obscene for a scale, there is a huge difference in attention to detail comparing her to my $100-150 figures.
Definitely a recomnended figure if you can nab her on sale!

Initial price was too much for me, so I'm waiting for some aftermarket deals sadly I missed hobbysearch bargain sale just now, but the fact that it's in there tells me I will eventually get there for a reasonable price.
