  • BLOG #3 - MFC Lore - The oldest article on the site.
  • BLOG #29785 - MFC Lore - An interesting blog about using dollhouses to create Figma dioramas. I get the impression this may have been somewhat of a trend at one point in time.
  • BLOG #39789 - MFC Lore - A user gets a delivery in the mail, but it's not what they ordered... as the article title asks, just what did they get in the mail? Enjoy the read!
  • BLOG #48619 - MFC Lore - Guide by user EXKUROGANE explaining some techniques for achieving better figure photos
  • BLOG #51794 - MFC Lore - User LEOLEOLIII created a "Iceberg" chart for B'full.
  • BLOG #54346 - MFC Lore - A poll asking users to share their collection stats. Oldest figures, least popular figures, etc.

  • BLOG #40059 - Figure Lore - This article showcases ITEM #260969, and what's interesting is the comments, apparently other users received the figure as well, but they look quite different. Both figures are legit, but they have a lot of differences. This is linked because it's indicative of the enormous quality differences between figures, illustrating how inconsistent Union Creative (ENTRY #17625) was at this point in time.
  • BLOG #43389 - Figure Lore - Related to the KyoAni (ENTRY #7734) arson attack that took place in 2019. The user discusses owning a lot of Violet Evergarden (ENTRY #140186) materials.
  • BLOG #45508 - Webshop Lore - Plamoya (PLAMOYA, shop/3) was a webshop that unfortunately went out of business as a result of Covid-19 restrictions.
  • BLOG #49535 - Figure Lore - Article discussing the quality of eStream (ENTRY #189818) figures
  • BLOG #51710 - Figure Lore - After some complaints about eStream (ENTRY #189818) figures not matching the official prototype images, eStream released a statement saying that you should use a hair dryer to heat up your figures and reshape them to more closely match the prototype
  • BLOG #52001 - Figure Lore - An article discussing the company Griffon (ENTRY #7626) and speculating on how their products have aged. They used to be critized for poor quality, but do the rose tinted nostaglia glasses mean that we look kinder on them as time goes by?
  • BLOG #55208 - Figure Lore - Announcement thread for Summer Wonfes 2022 (1 of 2)
  • BLOG #55209 - Figure Lore - Announcement thread for Summer Wonfes 2022 (2 of 2)

Other Misc. Significance

  • BLOG #53420 - Merch Lore - A blog showcasing a decades worth of anime themed phone cases. It's an interesting look at which anime was popular at that time, and also how phones have evolved.
  • BLOG #55078 - Pop Culture - A 1/1 statue of Miku (ENTRY #1590) was made for the Miky x Louis Vuitton collaboration. User CHECKM6TE questions what ever happened to that massive Miku, where is it now?
