Sorry to hear that, I know what it's like, one of my figima's came like that. The shipping box was all torn to hell, and the second item that was packaged with it was missing.

Thing is, If you pay that much for a toy, you want the box in mint condition.

I e-mailed them about it right after i got it and they said > Toywiz wrote:

We can not guarantee the condition of the box

Well i paid over 100$ for this "Collectible" It would be nice if you could learn use some bubble wrap. [list:n48631w0]Well they lost my business.[/list:u:n48631w0]

I think it's a signed portrait of Cave Johnson.

Frame within a frame, is that right?

So uh...

My father got one off of Ebay for my sister since she's doing a Chell cosplay, but it turned out that she made her own and didn't need it so he gave it to me instead. Really caught me off guard when he came into my room and told me that it was mine. Pretty happy about it, although I don't really have a place to put it at the moment.

Sorry for the crummy image and angle, I only have my computer's webcam to take photos with.

There's a certain convenience to it. But congratulations. Also, was your sister cosplaying as Chell or Atlas?

Chell. She borrowed some orange pants from me (I don't know why I have orange pants, but I do and they fit the costume pretty well) and got one of those Tank tops with the AS logo on it. It's actually pretty good, even though she's 12.

A $140 prop for a cosplay O_o

though I suppose greater expenses have been spent.

A little much for a Preteen's costume, but there is the plus of it being totally awesome on it's own.

I've been holding this back for a bit, but as it's fixed, I'll share it now.

I accidentally sorta snapped a part of my Chell Portalgun.

Basically, where the top arm is, where it connects to the gun, there's a sorta U-shaped bit of plastic, which is stuck onto the gun. the left side of that U broke.

Superglue worked VERY well, with some moderation of course. it's not even noticeable now, aside from tiny chip.

Still, yeah. I freaked out when I saw it first, but now everything's better

Dear God, at least try to take care of your shit. You have no idea how low you devalued that if you wish to resell it in the future. :atlas_facepalm:

If I have something expensive, it goes in a glass case, end of story.

Got one. Not a mini one. And it's one of the ones with the interchangeable colors.

I just wish I had one of the fancy shmancy stands for it. But that can wait. Plus they were out of stock.

On top of that I ordered 11 of those mini turret figures, a Black Mesa Hoodie, and two USB hubs. The USB hubs are gifts though.
