Wow, you can really see the benefit of using 3d printers nowadays. Watch the prices not get any lower even though the time it takes to make better figures is less!!
Price won't be going down much, unless 3D printers are as common and cheap as common household printers.
I'm no pro at this but surely some time are needed to prep the printer to print these kind of figurines and things printed out of it, also needs time to detail up/touched up before it can go on the sale shelves.
Sure, most can say the price will go down after a while but the fact that they're only DESIGNED and made in Japan (based on commercial franchises made by Japanese, no less) still stands; thus the price prolly can be maintained as long as the Japs wished to.
No offense, China or someone else might also do the same thing for cheaper price once 3D printing become a major trend; but the question is, WILL YOU BUY IT? Surely any true appreciators wanna buy it from the homeland of these characters, right?
Just my 2 cents. Flame if any of you must.
"they're only DESIGNED and made in Japan"
Designed in Japan: yes
Made in Japan: NO; actually made in china, by the japanese manufacturer
'based on commercial franchises made by Japanese, no less'
emphasis on this.
What makes you think these are 3d printed? Not sure if you've ever seen something 3d printed, but they come out layered and require a LOT of prep work. Hardly something you would use for highly detailed figures like these.
Yes, I have. I do digital work for 3d printed toys. The finishing is done afterwards in wax or resin along with any changes missed by doing everything on a flat 2d screen.
Some of the new printers, btw, have VERY fine resolution. Check out the envisiontec perfactory printer. I've been turning out quite a few jobs on that printer the last 6 months.
New technologies allow new workflows, and thus certain types of details that may have been rare prior become commonplace. This even extends to the sculpting of the faces. Aesthetics change, Precision increases, etc.
You forget, outside of the mobile market, Japan is one of the most backward countries. There's no way in hell they'd be that quick to adopt 3d printers.
Actually, most of these figures aren't made completely with a 3D printer, many of them are still sculpted by hand (but maybe not completely like before).
They do use 3D printing for many small accessories like guns.
Some figures are being designed on a computer in programs. Examples of these are Good Smile Company's Angel Beats! figures (Yuri and Tenshi) and their Dog Days figures (Leo and Milchi).

I want to also add, the detail on these figures is actually not difficult for something that can print full details the size of .1mm.
It takes more time to mold and convert to wax and clean up air bubbles and seamlines from casting than it does getting rid of the print lines.
Hardly any loli stuff.
Japan, you're losing your touch.
There's loads of loli stuff. Sankaku just hasn't them featured above
And this is in Taiwan.
Lots of good doujin artists there but none scanned ;_;
goodsmile company imo best toy company EVER!!!
WHERE DO I BUY THE SENA MOUSEPAD. PLZ
go to Japan. don't buy the China-made ones though; the buns are filled with gunpowder
I know everyone except for picture 050.
Yes, I must know.
Can anyone solve this mystery stuck in my head?
That's Irine/Irene, event NPC character from Dragon Nest MMO.
Dragon Nest (Irine).
You know Dragon Nest's Sorceress (024) but you don't know Dragon Nest's Irine? One of the most iconic NPCs and one of the first you talk to?
Weird guy, at least you know now.
Dat teacher milf.
Nendoroid Kryska having more accessories than figma, how does it make you feel ?
barely any miku :(
there are actually (at least) 3 miku figure, some nendo, and a figma miku ver.2
still, need moar miku!
That Kurisu, is edible.
Goddamn, that is one fantastically sculpted golden retriever.
Sheryl bound up... very nice.
panty & stocking Gurren lagann!!
Swag.
I really don't get Japan, if Anime were a mainstream here, like it is there, the scupltors of the originals of the figures would be worshiped here as art geniuses.
110 - 114...
TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
What's the name of that To Aru chick again? Whatever, anyway, that figure is sexy! <3 Also, I don't even LIKE Ah! My Goddess, but that Belldandy figure is amazing! :O
Also, lol, it seems they'll never stop making endless amounts of Saber figures (many of them are awesome though of course!)! :P Must be a nightmare for those who want to collect them all. I'm glad I'm more of a Rin person myself, since it's a bit easier on my economy. :P
Well my wallet is fucked.

I do not mind the prices, I was just implying that with all the great figures coming out this year I will be spending a lot of money on them thus initiating the fucking of my wallet. I would rather have a high quality product even if the price is high then a cheap low quality one.
Homeland?
Where do you think the factories for these figures are based on?, i'll give a clue, it's not japan.
I'll fucking pre-order that Futaba Anzu figure at the first moment it becomes available!
Aww, I was hoping to see pics of the new colored 1/2 scale Cattleya figure...
The face of the Mami figure seems...strange.
You should see the Homura counterpart...
Shiiiit... that chibi Cryska and Inia figures with the mini Laser-class are surprisingly cute. I... I can feel myself slipping into otaku hell, but I'm not sure if I care anymore.
All I got out of this was Berserk, BRS, trains, and dem mouse pads
The details on that Lineage II female kamael >_>
