Annoyed about a new exclusive when I've got a pre-order elsewhere.

But ultimately can live without the glasses 'n cat ears

 

Yeah, I was sort of annoyed too. Can't help but think Firebird really wanted to make an exclusive, seeing how the bunny ears were supposed to be a US retailer exclusive that is now available to all retailers. I'm glad ShowZ is able to get the bunny ears since they're usually way way cheaper than US retailers, so I really can't complain.

They also seem super easy to 3D print, so who knows if someone on here will take commissions on that.

 

I share this sentiment, however, I believe the glasses are not exclusive.

The image with all the accessories laid out has the glasses but no cat ears.

 

Is there a place to preorder that includes the cat ears and is open to the west? I really don’t like the face/head for the bunny ears setup so this new config is ideal.

“摩卡即日起将在官店#大火鸟制造#正式开始预定（之前的先行预定依然有效，无需再次预定），暂定2022年1月上旬出货.”

Google translated:
Mocha will be officiallybooked in Guandian #大火鸟制造# from now on(previous reservations are still valid, no need to book again), tentatively scheduled to be shipped in early January 2022.

So now release is early January?!

 

Was thinking the same thing. Not a huge fan of the tampos.

 

Accessories.

 

Looks like the racing decals aren't painted on but tempographs/stickers instead. Good for those who didn't like them, bad for those who wanted higher quality decals. Some of the product images have her without any decals applied.

Edit: They're water slide decals

 

Oh, that's a bad sign, at least for Windblade that is. All these lovely new photos and nothing about our flying Kitsune?

Last I checked, she's slated for a few months after that, in spite of being announced first. Something happened.

 

According to this FB comment, showZ orders will include cat ears.  

edit: Fake news, my bad, lesson learned. Only glasses with general release, cat ears taobao store exclusive.

There is a chance they are confusing bunny ears with cat ears.

 

They are in fact: "Water Decals"

I don't concern myself with He Said/She Said posts.

I hate to be the doubter type but, Until I see Show-Z announce it with my own 2 eyes. I'm not believing anything some random guy posts.

 

Who is this person claiming what ShowZ said?

 

Oh really now? Money left on the table boys


Cat ears and Sunglasses coming soon to Shapeways then lol

 

my point exactly. Because literally nowhere on any of Show-Z Store's social media did they say anything thus far about Cat Ears and the Glasses being included.

The only place thus far they are being included is on BFBT's Taobao store as an incentive gift item for the customers who order Mocha from there.

Yes, Show-Z posted ALL of the new photos there, but it's probably because they are just assuming they are being including with ALL orders.

I'll post an update the moment Show-Z replies about it.

 

Yeah, no reason to quote or share screenshots of random people saying random things. Just leads to more rumors and useless chatter.

Only thing ShowZ has said about the ears is that they won't know until very close to the release date when BFB decides to tell retailers. Info taken from their ShowZStore thread.

 

Oh cool. Thanks for the info. Was planning to get her regardless but I’m glad that the racing decals are optional.

 

This isn't useless chatter. This is Fact.  

I asked Show-Z straight up.

 

Is it possible for US goers to buy from their store to get the cat ears? I was tempted to get two regardless but with the various new info about her out I'd definitely need two

 

I have a pretty good hunch the addition of cat ears is to improve sales.

1. They are an extremely small bonus which I assume makes it cheap to produce. I don't even want to count the "vip" card considering how much cheaper printing cards are compared to plastic molds.
2. They announce it a month before release and many months after people have pre-ordered.

 

Bummer, lesson learned on believing FB post about was ShowZ store said.  

Just to clarify, the cat ears are exclusive and the glasses are part of the general release?
