is there a tamashii drop coming up? Feb is a short month, so are they gonna do it Tues (2/28) or wait a week

Hope you're all picky because otherwise July is an expensive one.

Ooh, Ash for sure. Likely Team Rocket and Vegeta too but thankfully that's all.

Oh wow, there’s a lot of interesting stuff in July. Thankfully I’m not particularly crazy about any of it so I think I won’t pre-order anything. The Pokémon figures do hit some spot for me but I’ve rather just buy the figma Red since I’m not much into the anime anymore. Vegeta looks awesome but I wish I could purchase Nappa alongside him through retail. He’s too expensive for me as a Web-Exclusive and I don’t really want that particular Vegeta without Nappa.

Star Wars is also not for me, I may purchase a Boba Fett whenever they do one and I'm up for a new Vader with a cloth cape but that’s about it.

And thankfully super robots don't interest me so I don't even need to give those a closer look :lol

It’s a great month though, so many cool things to buy.

Aw man was kinda hoping some would be in August. Yep gonna be an expensive month for sure. Least I'm only planning on getting 4 things. So far..

The Pokemon releases are the ones I'd be most inclined to maybe wait on. I'm conflicted though because all of the actual Pokemon releases skyrocketed in price, but I have a feeling the human characters might not do as well.

Yeah, I've decided on holding off on the Pokémon figures for now. Both for the reason you said, and the fact that something feels a bit off about them in the promotional pics. Kinda want to wait on reviews and see how they turn out.

I've got the GEM statues in the meantime, which while may not be poseable definitely fill the void nicely.

Looks like it will be just the Star Wars figs for me. That's good, I've got a couple of big months around that. I really wish we could get SHFs of the CW DC stuff instead of the just the movie characters. I need a Grodd or King Shark looming over a Kamen Rider or two. :D

Man no accessories or bonus props for c3po and r2d2, they are really gouging us. Ugh


I love that wrestling ring stage. I don't have any wrestling figuarts but I kinda want a ring

I need R2 and C3P0 and Vegeta, but all that is overshadowed by how much I need that Metal Build 00 Seven Sword. Star Wars and DBZ, as much as I want them, can wait.
If I don't Seven Sword when its released, odds are I'll never be able to get it. The last time I saw the original version on Mandarake, I think it was around $800. Or maybe that was eBay, but either way, it's gotten extremely stupid expensive, so I need this new version more than anything I've ever needed before.

Also, I've already had to stop buying every SW and DBZ SHF release I want, so i can stand to wait on these guys a bit longer.

Just finished ordering the four guys I wanted on AmiAmi - got them all, but suuuper slow tonight with all this stuff that went up. And updating items on MFC when I see...

What's this? There's a... 3 pack for the Pokemon characters??? Somehow missed that entirely before. And it comes with a bonus Ash face. Well that sounds like a good de--... Exclusive you say?

Ahahahahahaha no. Was already on the fence about pre-ordering the standard releases as it was. Nope, totally happy with what I've got coming instead.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

SON OF A BITCH!!! I never saw anything saying C3PO and R2 had a preorder date yet. Now I've missed them!!!

Great, now I'll have to get Hasbro's versions.

AmiAmi and HLJ will open up orders again. They always do. Just set up a FiginStock notification. It usually works out for me when I miss out on preorder night.

Do you put it on your Watchlist and they will notify you when it is available to preorder again?

Yup, just add the link to your restock notifications. They usually go up sometime in the middle of the night, Eastern time, but I've had them populate all hours of the day. HLJ is more often later than AmiAmi. It's helped me get five or six things I missed the preorders on in the last few months.

I'm surprised Vegeta is sold out at hlj, amiami and even Nippon yasan. Maybe I should have ordered him earlier. Haha. I'm also surprised team rocket is order stopped at hlj. Will need to wait for Vegeta to become available again but I think I'll have to preorder ash and team rocket now.

Wait, how do I access a restock notification? I only see ADD TO WATCHLIST.

You sure you're on http://www.figinstock.com? I'm not trying to be a wiseguy. I just don't see a watchlist choice. The only options I see when I'm logged in are restock notifications, pre-owned notifications, and price alerts.

No, I thought you figsinstock was your abbreviation for some notification since on AmiAmi's site. I have never heard of that website before.

EDIT: Okay, nevermind. AmiAmi just got more up for preorder so I ordered them and Gomora.

Ah, that was my bad, sorry. I found out about here and figured most of the userbase here was familiar with it. Maybe it will come in handy in the future. Congrats on getting the figures! Sometimes figure drops can be crazy frustrating.

I don't know if anyone wants SHF Death Trooper Specialist Blu Ray set but I just found that Nippon-Yasan has it for pre-order:

I was actually tempted cause I liked Rogue One and special editions are nice but I've got too much stuff coming that month. lol.

Looks like the Mark 2 will be the next Iron Man SHF to be made. Makes sense though since it's just a repaint of the Mark 3 but this time around it's a Web Exclusive. Also for Star Wars fans, Qui Gon is coming too but he is also a Web Exclusive.

Dammit, they're both exclusives? I want them both, but am not in a position to order either of them right now. Probably. :/

The new Daily Bugle is in! The vicious plague of our city, the evil Spider-Man (or rather, Spider-Menace!) has been sighted in Japan! He seems to have brainwashed the poor people of Tamashii Nations to release some kind of action figure? It will be a retail release in August, costing 6264¥.

Beware; do not buy this sinister piece of plastic! It is most likely a dark trick so the evil Spider mutant can take over the world!

So does it or does it not come with accessories befitting an Emissary of Hell?

Does not include a Spider Machine GP-7, the Marveller or a properly scaled Leopardon, so no ;)

Nice! That's sooner than I expected. Lol. Even releases a couple months before the Mafex one. Disappointing to see no unmasked head but the backpack and cell phone is nice. Not a huge fan of how pointy his noise seems to be and the eyes don't look as sharp as Mafex. Can't wait to see more pictures!

Yesssssssssss.

Oh GOD yes, I can finally retire my Figma Spider-Man.

He's looking great. Basically comes with everything the Figma release for the first Amazing costume came with (Backpack, cellphone, webbing) and alternate expressions Revoltech-style. Wouldn't be surprised if Bluefin gets a hold of this. Though chances are once promo pics hit I'll just order it asap.

Does he at least come with an MP-40 or a wrench?

First MCU Figuarts release I actually give a damn about.

The Tiger Mask W Figuarts are also out in August as retail releases.

The official pictures for Spider-Man are up (don't forget, he goes up for pre-order next Monday in Japan, April 3rd!) and he looks fantastic. The magazine scans had me in doubt because the sculpted textile look seemed to swallow the web-lines on his suit, but in these pictures the webs are much more pronounced and thus visible, now he looks perfect IMO.

Also they are showing of his great range of articulation in these pictures, and one of the transitions was so funny looking that I couldn't help but to make a GIF of it, enjoy! :lol

That 10th image. :lol

Man he looks great. Makes you wish Sentai SHFs could have had this kind of engineering.

Makes me wish we still had Sentai SHFs :lol

Only if they were better. 90% of them were pretty trashy xD

I wish for that, too. There are still so many I wanted. Sigh.

As for Spidey, he looks pretty awesome, but I've had to cut back on SHFs since I went in on the Hi-Metal R and Marvel and most Star Wars releases got the cut. I'm still grabbing the OT figs, but that's about it. I look forward to seeing everyone's Spidey pics though. :D

Oh I intend on more than likely pushing the figure to breakage with how much McFarlane esque poses I'm planning on doing.

That's what I want to hear! :lol

Spidey is looking good! Definitely picking him up.

Managed to catch a War Machine Mark 3 on Mandarake before it sold out but still gotta wait till I get a confirmation e-mail that I got it. Only thing is it was 10,000 yen. :(
Didn't want to risk it getting more expensive in the future like the Mark 1 War Machine so I figured I might as well take the chance. The cost of waiting too long to pre-order. Haha.
