Long, long ago, I found the website that listed all the Legend of Neclos (or Neclos Fortress) figures. I thought they looked very similar to Monster in My Pocket, except more Japanese-inspired. However, I searched and searched, but couldn't find any online to purchase. Now, I found the site again, and it reignited my quest for Neclos figures. I didn't know about LRG back then, so I'm hoping any of you can help direct me to the best place to buy these little monsters?

Thank you so much in advance.

I know there's a lot there, but do they ship to America? Plus, y'know, it's in Japanese 'n all.

Use Google Translate to translate the pages for you.

Some of the guys use YJP and know what to do. I am sure someone will post it for you.

Or if you use Google Chrome it will give you the option of translating it for you.

Gotta use a third party bidding service like ... http://WWW.shoppingmalljapan.com.

[Grimace]

Thanks for the replies. How much do third-party services generally cost?

[Ericnilla]

a lot actually. haha

there are percentage fee's on the winning bid, and a percentage on the shipping. a $30 winning bid, will probably cost you near $100 probably in the end, maybe more if its a heavy lot. the best thing is to win multiple auctions then have them mailed to you all at once. saves a bit on shipping.

I love these minis & will be posting photos of my old collection of these here soon.

They are truely expensive figures to get after all the extra fees you have to pay for bidding and shipping plus alot of these sculpts are rare and expensive alone!

[Leviathan]

Here are some photos. This is only a very small pick from soo much great sculpts in this line. (Look at YHJ or the archive to see more) They are definitely in the top 5 of my favourite Lrg`s!
I also included a MIMP comparisson photo.

super cool thread; love those pix! Have a couple, by no means all, myself.

This is currently the mini figure line I'm most interested in collecting. The sculpts are just so imaginative and cool, the consistency of the plastic is perfect, and hell, they even change colors. But I must like making things difficult for myself considering it's one of the hardest and most expensive lines to collect.

So far I have 20-something figures but I have the completely delusional goal of having all 300+ one day (think big, right?).

I have started a Flickr set of my Necro's figures if anyone wants to check it out. I am photographing each figure individually. Once I have more figures and am able to build it up, hopefully it can serve as a good reference for people as I am including the name of each sculpt.

Very nice Pictures up there! I totally agree with you about these figures, the sculpts, the plastic, size - like everything is just perfect. I love these too. Some years ago I tried on collecting these serious and I managed to collect up like the first half stages of the series till I decided that I quit cause i`m fine with my collection of these. I had to learn some of these are really damn rare&expensive and hard to get anyway. There are just soo many nice sculpts in this line! Wow.

One I really like to add one day is the Vampiress with the little attachable Bat hanging on her arm. The Necromancer are the shit anyway.

Thanks!

Yeah, I am a pretty new collector of these but I am learning that certain sculpts seem to be very elusive and expensive. And when you're dealing with Yahoo Japan from out of Japan, that "very expensive" becomes "super expensive." It is a shame they are not more readily available outside of Japan, though I suppose their elusiveness adds to the fun of collecting them.

I still haven't been able to find a couple major details about these figures. Like what years they came out and how many different colors there are (there seems to be a LOT of different colors).

I know from this photo that the Mandarake Trash Issue #4 includes Necros content. Don`t know what exactly. Maybe even a Checklist?

Thanks for offering! Is it the one that's a 34-page pdf? If so I was able to get a file of it recently from someone else who was kind enough to upload it for me. A long time ago someone uploaded it to mega upload and posted it here but I guess that link died when MU was taken down. If anyone else needs it I'd also be happy to upload it somewhere.

just use Winrar and compress it into multiple files, you can split it into 2 files or 20mb or 4 files of 10mb... etc

That way you can just email it to people in multiple emails.

Yeah that is the one I also have...

Thanks Eric!

[Ericnilla]

I want it too~! should be easier to sort my figures instead of using the checklist online.

[Toxoviper]

Upload please. Thanks so much.

That's common with file sharing sites. They're tricky like that. Ignore the bigger buttons and hit the smaller button that says "download" with a little green box with an arrow next to it.

Thanks, the art rocks.

I want so badly, for somebody to either sell me on this line or tell me it's shitty. I have been on the fence about this for a while.
It's kind of between Kinkeshi, which I love, and Villgust (which I do not).
