@AndrasDeak tried just for fun

"Fantasy landscape with a castle in the distance"

this is the "pay to skip line version" (I just waited)

@SPArcheon that's... surprisingly mediocre for such a vague specification

From scryfall.com/card/dom/250/plains and scryfall.com/card/dom/254/island respectively, M:tG Dominaria set basic lands art by Jonas De Ro.

@b_jonas You probably missed part of the topic here. I was talking about...

gan generation - text to image

I was just having fun with the horrible results, wondering why anyone would want to pay for those.

this "Fluttershy near a lake" is still the "less worse" result

@SPArcheon Yes, I know. The horrible results are more fun.

I'm giving you less horrible results.

sometime I stumble upon this

and it is quite funny every time

(btw, posted wrong link originally. It is still onepiece related, but bad preview picture that has nothing to do with the video)

the licensed Pop Mart MLP figures never left China...

(ref: mlpmerch.com/2021/02/…)

and now there is a second set...

and I really want this one...

:(

How can it have "never left China"? global.popmart.com suggests they are very international with merch

yep, I was unclear. I meant that "it is not available from local stores / regional Amazon sites"

But could you order from popmart.com directly?

technically you can import, with everything that comes from that.

I see

so it's not "can't ever get", "just" "not worth the overhead"

@SPArcheon Those are silly computer-rendered images though, not real product photos. The real products probably look much uglier.

@b_jonas and this one is clearly made in Blender...

I found out that Amazon JP sells the full box.. for 14k Yen

so about 100$ + shipping

plus customs

@AndrasDeak that's not granted, usually Amazon has that covered.

on the plus side... Full box means you get all 12 (since they are random but each box has the full set)

I hate amazon exactly because they don't make it very clear if customs are included or not. And usually they only tell you the real, final cost right before the last "yes, pay" button.

that said, it is also available on Amazon US

What makes it random then?
