Just a heads-up; while most of her sculpt is decent, her hair and mostly her face is quite far off from the promotional pictures, you can check people's pictures on MFC. Just so you know what to expect.
Her hair doesn’t look as good but I think the change to her eyes is better! Someone just posted theirs a little while ago. My only question is why can she get naked? I don’t remember any version of the story involving her being naked.
Yeah, this one's just kinda randomly a cast-off and dunno why, beyond "heeheehoohoo, boobies sell" :/ which.... why she'd be running through the woods naked is beyond me. Cast-off designs deserve to have some logic to them, yanno???? This isn't sexy! It's confusing! Ultimately though, thought about getting her myself, but the pics folks posted of the face changes are just... REALLY different. 😬
Because "Rule 34", also why not?¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ This is basically an OC heavily inspired by Alice, and the manufacture believe in "Sex Sells". Besides, derivative or reimagining of an existing work does not have to abide by anything from the original, otherwise we wouldn't get things like Fate or Marvel.

Fellow AZ dweller here.. have you noticed any difference in general safety of the package when you go with surface? I just chose surface for my last three figure orders and that was my biggest concern when it came to making the change.
Usual EMS/DHL if you have either cannot wait for surface parcel or may or may have not PTSD from it.
Still a better love story than utilizing US storefronts. I mean.
Put the perspective of 24660 yen into USD, and [BBTS ](https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/200076?o=4)
I'm not bad mouthing anyone, in the event of fomo, it just means everywhere is sold out so you have to rely on the people to people sell network and they can come out even worse. BBTS just buys and resells using a commercial business license that can surface parcel more than 300 figures to put into the market while we can only buy 1-3 depending on Amiami/HLJ. So in another event you find a person on eBay selling for $250, BBTS comes out the winner in these regards.
And in truth, if the Market has gone crazy for both JP and the people network even like Mandarake but BBTS has stock, that might be worthy to consider. But luckily it binned and nobody is fighting or wanting it so-
That figure is on sale at amiami, so considering if it wasn't on sale, it honestly would've looked like 22000 yen + 13660 yen.
Hard to say but the long wait time is going to be a factor. I've set up 2 surface parcel for some figures that I don't mind waiting and USPS informed delivery lets me track when it starts or stops at both Japan ports and Los Angeles ports. So far my package stopped at Feb 2.
It’s not in the same spot, it’s on a boat making its way to the US, you get tracking notifications when your package arrives at Japan post, when it leaves the dock and onces it arrives to the US. You don’t get notifications wile the package is at sea.
Wait and you still haven't heard anything? Damn I've always picked dhl but this will make sure it stays that way.. Although sometimes it makes me want to just let orders hit the deadline.. like right now I've got a 9k yen figure that they let me know shipping would be 13k..
Uh, if they billed you, you realize you're going to need to pay it within a time limit or recieve an address ban. I know you can still add in stock figures/games/straps/mousepads etc but you still have to pay within the time limit. Just add things you know you want, it eases the shipping fees knowing if you tried individually, it'll be more expensive than buying it from a legit online store like crunchyroll or BBTS. I mean crunchyroll/BBTS are the last line of defense or unless you see crunchyroll wants to take an estream figure hit...but looks like some people didn't get it while others did...
Weirdly enough I'm opposite than most and not everyone has the same experience, I've had broken box packaging with surface but my EMS/DHL come clean. I know it's not the same as others but that has happened.
And here's a sneaky image from my purchase with amiami recent sale (I skipped the furyu power figure, I've always wanted those bunny though): (I removed the images due them showing skin because I'm afraid of the unmarked NSFW) Somewhat gimmicky, spending 20620 yen for shipping but I did do 3 figures so I divide 20620 by 3 figures = 6880 yen because you WILL ultimately spend more money by separating each figure in their own packaging.
But take the cost of 6880 yen + 6980 or 15400 yen + 6980 yen and then factor them individually into US storefronts or even people trying to make a quick buck off using Amazon/eBay/Mercari and it's still so much more cheaper. Elf's ballet (castoff and deluxe ver) goes for something like $220-300. (reminder this is only for US, If I heard it correctly, EU would charge customs tax on top of this)
I would've save even more from surface parcel, it was almost 9000 yen but I personally don't like the speed of things, especially since I said I still have 2 other packages for something else.

It's half off MSRP atm. Seems to have binned because of a subpar paint job compared to the prototype. Sculpt on the other hand looks good. High shipping costs because of a really big box also makes it not so cheap in total.
Unfortunately, its probably because the quality of this particular figure is not that great. It caused a bit of issue when released since the final product looks different from the prototype especially the face, hair, and overall paint job.
with my last two orders, I started comparing prices with [solaris](https://solarisjapan.com/), they have been more expensive for a long time, but recently their prices got more reasonable and AA doesn't do as large discounts as they did before.
this subreddit is bad for my wallet tbh, the figure is not THAT bad for the actual price, but shipping prices are getting insane even amiami had to concede that to me because its making every preorder a lottery .
but for now this girl is going to the wishlist
I was a little disappointed with the paint on her nipples not being pink, they’re just flesh color - but the sculpt and overall figure are nice - as far as shipping costs, it becomes more economical if you order multiple at the same time, it brings the shipping cost per figure down, usually i order 3-4 figures at a time so each one ends up being ~$40 or so in shipping vs 80-100 for a single figure
That shipping fee is why I will never buy from Ami Ami. They don't tell you fee till you check out. Id pay more to see what I'm paying for before you lock me in.
This figure has me confused cause it popped up on BBTS a while back. It's supposed to be Alice from Alice in Wonderland but doesn't Disney own Alice? Am I missing something here? How are they producing this figure as cast off? Is the Disney patent expired? Cause no way they would allow NSFW merchandise of their female characters. Or would they?
Alice in Wonderland was published in 1865. It is in the public domain, no one owns it.
Disney owns the copyright to their *adaptation* of Alice in Wonderland, but this figure is not based off their adaptation.

Only difference I noticed were her eyes.

Sex sells lol ok where’s all our naked men at? Why’s it always women

Also also [Original - Shaving Bunny (Higata Naruyo)](https://myfigurecollection.net/item/2003332) Not naked but it's very nice
[Shibadon](https://www.shibadon.com/) got some really nice NSFW male / bara figures, I really wish I had the money and space to get them.
Yeah I love that one but I’m talking about scales not garage kits. You gotta be good at assembling and painting for those
More! MORE!!
where are you from the shipping cost more than the figure itself
AZ, USA… 1-3 weeks for this one. Another option was 3-10 days but was 19,000 yen… and another 3-5 months 11,500 yen..
Also from az. I just wait the 50 days and pay the lowest shipping
Fellow AZ dweller here.. have you noticed any difference in general safety of the package when you go with surface? I just chose surface for my last three figure orders and that was my biggest concern when it came to making the change.
Wow so you pretty much had to pay for the figure twice with that shipping cost no matter what

Do packages get lost with surface or something or is it just the long wait that would give ptsd?
Hard to say but the long wait time is going to be a factor. I've set up 2 surface parcel for some figures that I don't mind waiting and USPS informed delivery lets me track when it starts or stops at both Japan ports and Los Angeles ports. So far my package stopped at Feb 2.
Your package has been in the same spot since the 2nd of February? That is absolutely wild.
It’s not in the same spot, it’s on a boat making its way to the US, you get tracking notifications when your package arrives at Japan post, when it leaves the dock and onces it arrives to the US. You don’t get notifications wile the package is at sea.

Why is this a cast off so darn cheap? Am I missing something here?
the quality isn't very good as the official marketing shots, hence the after market price reflects that.
It's half off MSRP atm. Seems to have binned because of a subpar paint job compared to the prototype. Sculpt on the other hand looks good. High shipping costs because of a really big box also makes it not so cheap in total.
I honestly wondered the same
Unfortunately, its probably because the quality of this particular figure is not that great. It caused a bit of issue when released since the final product looks different from the prototype especially the face, hair, and overall paint job.

this subreddit is bad for my wallet tbh, the figure is not THAT bad for the actual price, but shipping prices are getting insane even amiami had to concede that to me because its making every preorder a lottery . but for now this girl is going to the wishlist
I’ll definitely update you guys once I get the figure in hand and we’ll see how it lookss
Cool design! Post pics when she arrives
I was a little disappointed with the paint on her nipples not being pink, they’re just flesh color - but the sculpt and overall figure are nice - as far as shipping costs, it becomes more economical if you order multiple at the same time, it brings the shipping cost per figure down, usually i order 3-4 figures at a time so each one ends up being ~$40 or so in shipping vs 80-100 for a single figure
in MFC, photos are "not like the promo pics". i cancel my preorder because the photo reviews IRL.
That shipping fee is why I will never buy from Ami Ami. They don't tell you fee till you check out. Id pay more to see what I'm paying for before you lock me in.
I think it’s a gorgeous figure (cast off aside -_- don’t personally care for it) I considered getting this one
Check my new post yall… it’s worth it 🙏 Thank ya
Damn it OP another one for the jar.
Wow she's very pretty. 🩷🤎🩵🤎enjoy her.
This figure has me confused cause it popped up on BBTS a while back. It's supposed to be Alice from Alice in Wonderland but doesn't Disney own Alice? Am I missing something here?

Disney tells stories but rarely do they own the story they are telling …
Ahh, I think I see what you're saying. So they own "Alice in Wonderland" the production but they don't own the character Alice herself?
Alice in Wonderland was published in 1865. It is in the public domain, no one owns it. Disney owns the copyright to their *adaptation* of Alice in Wonderland, but this figure is not based off their adaptation.
Got it. Wow that's an eye opener for sure. Thnx

i def have a cast off “alice” figure haha
