And a new Marin figure!

WheretheSnakesReign · May 27, 2023, 4:26pm

I’ve never seen any of the bunny girls in person so I was wondering: are the fishnets actual fabric?

MaouSadao · May 27, 2023, 4:33pm

Yes. Can 100% confirm from Yami, Mikan, and Nemesis. (My Bunny figures. Lol.)

Psychopuppet · May 27, 2023, 4:46pm

and if you get dust on them they can be a pain in the butt. Also any of the b-styles with fabric clothes like the Lucky Star and GuP figures are very prone to color bleed because freeing did not color seal the fabric. Some of the earlier fishnet ones like Haruhi the color tends to stain and spread on the legs.
I think I’m up to 55 bunnies give or take a few that are not bunnies in the b-style.
Trying to cut back on them but freeing keeps releasing ones I want (just announced 4 I’d like to have) and some of the smaller scales are costing the same price now. At this rate my hauls are only going to be Discotek and Bunnies.
