    The only thing I have to say to this is "git gud" :p . Genji only really pulls ahead as being a touch OP when played at really high skill levels. Unless you're in GM rank or something, then the Genjis you find should be able to be countered by good game sense and maybe a choice character pick.

    This is especially true now that they patched in proper Ult meter expenditure for him, so he doesn't get a bunch of free tries at his Ult if he royally flubs it.

    Doesn't change the fact I think the game would be improved if he was removed entirely, but that's neither here nor there.

    I can see figma's fine butt sculpting has been passed down to Genji. Well done. Well done. The only thing I don't like is the hip guards which will be just flexible plastic. I wish they could have handled that a little differently.

    That’s pretty much how they work in-game as well, so I dunno what else they should have done there.

    Perhaps they could have attached the upper half of the hip guards to his waist kind of like guyver II + III and sculpt the lower half just far enough so it can still be easily posed. I see why the figma designers went with what they did, but he does look a little odd some of the more dynamic poses.

    I think my order has always said the same. When I placed the order I remember thinking "cool, she will be out around Halloween".

    From a design standpoint, she's much more functional than the Figma Zelda. Makes me wonder why some of the same philosophy wasn't applied there.
    Regardless, Saber 2.0 is fantastic. Kudos!

    This is kinda my first experience pre-ordering a Figma and ordering anything off BBTS, but when on earth are they gonna get/ship out Corrin? She's been out in Japan a good two weeks now, surely that'd be enough time to get from Japan to where they're located, right?

    Nope. Two weeks to get something from Japan by any means through any shipping that isn't specialty service is rare. For BBTS, they probably recieve in bulk so it kinda depends on when the package gets to the Japan airport and how much stuff there is to be packed on the plane as it's a 'first come, first serve' deal there.

    Additionally, I believe (based on my order of MMC Carnifex from them) that they are based in Wisconsin, so what will happen is the package will go there first, be unpacked, put into the organization system, then pulled for your order and mailed out, which could take an additional week because it's USPS.
