I mean, there's a US Pokemoncenter site, why couldn't they just sell it/take preorders there (I remember they did something for the Team Rocket Giovanni Nendoroid)? Ugh.
It'll probably be up on the US site next year, but to be fair, I couldn't wait either and couldn't take the risk. I had a friend in Japan order one for me. I am surprised about the made-to-order. If you really need one, I can ask him to order another, but no promises.
Thanks for the offer, but I went with an order on nin-nin games as suggested before. I'm also surprised she was made-to-order. I was on the mindset that is was the first of a few outfits (like the Isle of Armor dojo outfit) so we can get other faces like a calm face, determined face, and grossed out face.
If you really need to pre-order the Gloria figma without using the forwarding service, you can still do so via Amazon JP: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B08JYXSRC6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Figma is pretty good these days about reissuing figures that are popular. I presume Queen will show up again. I am surprised how popular she got so quickly.

God, Peral and Marina look amazing. The price is also probably going to be extremely high, too. I miss the days of $40 figma...
Aw dammit. Missed GSC's deadline for Iowa. Could have sworn it was ending on the 23rd... Welp, BBTS with no winking face it is. Either that or I buy the original from Mandarake that comes with the pre-order bonus, flip that and hope for at least selling for the same and getting the reissue.
The winking face is included in the standard edition on BBTS The pre-order bonus is the one with both closed eyes and the open mouth.
Wow, that really is a good design that I absolutely would pick up if I saw it in the store and had disposable income not already being spent on other things.
