hi everyone! :mrgreen: this is my first post ,and its about some figures I found, I was serching for some lum figures , I found a lot of them, some better than others but they were pretty much the same, that until I found this ones! this ones really stand out from the others!,what makes this figures special is their size, they are the first lum figures to be sold life size! apparently, they are a very limited edition special.
no pictures of the actual figures had been post in the site, but there are some pictures of manga lum relaxing in some real life appartments. I dont know the price yet but as far as I know, pre orders will start dic 20, of course Im going to try to get my hands on one!
here is the link where I found them: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/10/28-1/shogakukan-shueisha-announces-life-size-lum-figures
and here is the link of the actual site selling them unfortunately, for me at least, its in japanese. If some one here can read it I would be thankful if you could tell me some more info: http://www.pal-shop.jp/lum/
by the way sorry if my english is bad!

I can only imagine the price -- probably over 100,000 yen ($1,000 US). Plus shipping? Out of my league. However ... interesting.
Bet it'll be popular with pachinko-parlor owners who have UY pachinko games in their arcades.
Thank you, lumlover, for posting! Cheers!

hi veehive, Im pretty sure they are going to be as you said, pretty esxpensive but hey! its a life size lum ! Im going to wait until they release some actual pictures of the doll and if i like her Im going to try to get me one even if its expensive I really hope the doll will resemble her just like the old figures, some of the newest ones leave a lot to be desired... but well we will see.
I will let you guys know when they release more info!
greetings!

Damn, I would give a limp for that statue! Even if I did get it, I have no idea where would I put it lol!
-
HIi foxhead yeah, I will gladly give 2! about a proper place for her, I would put her in the center of a fountain specially built for her so everyone could enjoy her as much as I :P
-
I would place her in the middle of my living room so I could wander around her all the time (if I could afford it).
-

You're making me sooo curious...
-
I know lum-chan Im pretty much the same here, I really hope they show a pic of her face soon, it totally depends on that if I start seriously considering buying one, since Im pretty sure they are going to be pricey, they better make me love every single inch of her!

YAY!
-
MUST
SEE
FACE
!!!!!!!!!
(if they make even a tiny mistake on her face, it's all for nothing. HOWEVER, the rest looks GOOOOOOOOD!!)
-
true veehive!, just one mistake in her face and thats it, they screwed lum!, I really really hope they dont!
-
They did it! damn it! they did it! why why? :'( :'(

ok its not that bad...
but they certainly could have done way better! I mean she doesn´t look like lum!, or is it just me? I know its hard to bring her from 2d to 3d but its been done before and way better! this is the life size figure damn it! the Kaiyodo lum (bottle cap) its way better! this makes me really angry >:( haha.
well I am disappointed... I was ready to irresponsibly spend de 1 000 000 yens it costs! but not any more! with that face, its not worth it! oh well at least Im not spending any money... :'(
the figure its 164cm tall, 80cm width , weighs 25 kg, totally hand made and hand painted.
signed at the base by takahashi, price as I said before its one million yen, shipping not included, pre orders start 22 of this month.

I still like it but, I was expecting a lot more from them, well maybe some other time... :'(
-
I still like it. She should have a place in my office ;-)
-
Shipping costs would be a nightmare... Also her face looks a bit off? I guess i'm not not use to seeing Lum with real lips instead of lines.
-
yes, shipping its in fact expensive!, but if you´re willing to pay the million yen´s it cost, shipping should give you the same, at least that was my case ;D, but you´re right foxhead!, I knew I wasn't the only one!, her face its really well done but, I don't think she looks like the lum we all know and love, for me, face its the most important thing in a figure, I can stand a little mistake here, and there..., but not in the face!, I know the process must be really hard, but it has been done before so... no excuse!, I still like it too, like lum-chan said, but I would pay that price only If I liked the figure a lot, if that figure looked more like the kaiyodo figures (just the face) I would have paid the million yen´s hands down!, however I would still buy it for the right price! haha. ;)
