I finally received my Armin. And wow... just, WOW! This packaging SURE says it's an event exclusive... NOT!! I expected something a bit more... fancier. Bandai sure does that with their exclusives.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSsssss~ *looks at Sept order* ~ssssFUCK! For me: 2x Figma Cap, 2x Figma Iron Man, SHF Iron Man, Rev Raph, and Rev Leo. That shipping will probably be between 60-80.
Yeah it does. EX-017 hehe. But yeah, since they made the regular boxes crappier they should have made the exclusives fancier.
Yeah, balls on that too. It does lighten my August order, but my Sept AmiAmi order was already big too: Figma Cap SHF IM Mk42, Gaim Kachidoki, Bio Rider SHMA Godzilla '14 Convoy Pen It will be kind of funny getting Iron Mans from two different companies in the same order though.
YES YES YES. I'd love to finish my TTGL collection with a Kamina figure in scale with Revoltech Fraulein Yoko and Great Impact Lagann with seated Simon and Boota.
Only difference I notice between an exclusive figuart and standard release is the extra cardboard box and sometimes having no window to see the figure. Now for a nice box check out the 2014 nendoroid snow miku box. Also gotta remember while some exclusives are a nice premium item, others are items that they thought wouldn't sell well as a standard release. Making them exclusive means they get more money per unit sold since they are selling it to us directly at full retail price instead of selling it to stores at a lower price.
So I got Armin and opened him up. I didn't want him holding two swords, just one. I thought you were able to plug the handle into one of those stored blades. I have no idea what they're called. Anyways, I looked at the box and checked the instructions for the first time.... I never knew about that piece inside the jacket. I should probably go and open up Levi now.... and Link. Link because Hyrule Warriors got me excited. I hope they make figures of every character from that game. They all look great.
I still haven't opened up Link and Samus yet or over half of my Figmas lol. But once I finally finish redoing my room then I'll open them all up and it'll be like Christmas X10. Well if my room renovation finally goes how the way I want it. Also NY has Suntanned Sonico up. Seems she's a Japanese exclusive. She's on the Japanese GSC site for preorder but not the global site. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/super-sonico/8361-figma-super-sonico-suntanned-ver-limited-edition.html
Piece inside the jacket...? Well maybe I should read instructions more often because it's been bothering me since I got Mikasa that you basically have to have two swords plugged in if you're using the 3D Maneuver Gear. Since the handle can't plug into the sheathed swords (which was dumb by the way), the second rope/both if you don't want any swords just hangs there and looks so dumb...
It's weird that the US sites are selling suntanned Sonico cheaper than Japan. Even Crunchyroll has her cheaper. But Anime Island is the best price I've seen and it looks like they're getting it at the same time as Japan release also. SoniAni: Super Sonico The Animation - Suntanned ver. Figma
Anyone here remembered to preorder Cleaning ver. Levi? Because I totally forgot to double check the preordering duration and I missed it!
Nippon Yasan has him last I looked. Their site is down at the moment. I was kinda on the fence of getting him mainly because I hate buying the same character twice.
So aniplexusa is releasing the akuma homura in the usa. Aniplex USA | Aniplex + preorders are open on rightstuf and akiba anime until sept.
To expand on this... Figma Devil Homura is now available for pre-order at Rightstuf for $55 shipped (USA Only) Puella Magi Madoka Magica Figure: Devil Homura Figma (5 in) (Import) For those who cannot use Rightstuf, Akiba Anime has her for the same price, not including shipping. Puella Magi Madoka Magica-Devil Homura (PVC Figure) - 18 Scale
I preordered Shimakaze from them and they still haven't sent me a payment request, so I'm a little hesitant about placing any future orders with them, which is strange since I haven't had any issues with them in the past.
