I've still got my AC Ryugen order open at HLJ though, but if they just end up sitting on that as well, I'll wait him to pop up on Mandrake as well.

The armour doesn't peg down, but the joints are tight, and should they ever weaken, they're friction clip joints so you can stiffen them, but it's unlikely. It's a really good figure. Not super articulated, but good posability, and it looks nice. Sculpt is actually really good on the belt, the knife is even a seperate piece, though the locks are not given any specific details so you don't put pine arms on a Gaim with the orange lock on. Also the hand joints are tight. He doesn't feel like he's gonna drop his weapons constantly like my old SH Den-O figures. I'm quite impressed. I didn't no they did the gimmick figures this good.

Unfortunately all the Amiami orders have been long closed for the AC figures and bikes. However the bikes are still up on Amazon.JP. But that's only beneficial if you know someone who lives in Japan that they can be shipped to. It may be a Mandarake waiting game to get all of these.

Or you could take my route and just use regular old Amaozn.

Why is HLJ not an option?
Or do you mean besides HLJ? |

HLJ's not an option for anything I myself buy anymore. I've personally been burned at least 6 times in the last year by them. Pre-order something the day it goes up, 3 months later you find out they didn't have enough stock to cover orders, and yours is almost always one of them. Without fail this seems to always happen to me. By then of course whatever it is I've ordered is out of stock elsewhere
In my opinion they've rapidly become the most unreliable of the online shops for imports. You just can not trust their pre-orders anymore. Plezu-On, Tobaspino, PteraidenOh. My orders weren't fulfilled for any of them so I just had to stalk everywhere until they eventually came in stock again, or as was the case with Tobaspino I had to score one on Mandarake.

I don't have my lightbox up, so here's some "printer paper as a backdrop" shots.
The visor effect is really well done, but it is a bitch to photograph. But under flash light, it's pretty sweet. Best pic I got of the belt detail. Unfortunately the flash wouldn't work so you can't really see... anything. I really like how this turns out. I love Figuarts, but they're not playthings. It's rewarding to pick this guy up and not have to worry about double and triple joints going nuts or fragile sharp tips bending or ounces of paint getting stratched or swapping hands. I wish American action figures were like this. Only Transformers consistently produces this level of articulation and sharpness of sculpt in non-collector-focused lines. Here's some better pictures.
