Seems Noell Vermillion from Blazblue could still be coming out though as the prototype was on display last Wonderfest.

She's still up for preorder and everything, but I haven't seen a whole lot coming out of the D-Arts world. Maybe it's just a result of the line merger, but D-Arts Hakumen from BlazBlue hasn't been seen in a long time, either. I wonder if merging the lines means canceling some of these characters. If it's all Figuarts, they may not have the resources to move forward on lots of game characters.

Which is too bad; I'd love to see Guilty Gear figures. Chipp and Kliff and Ky would all be rad if made by Figuarts.

I don't see why they'd cancel them just because of a brand change. Noel is going to be the last figure under the D-Arts name it seems and if she does well they will almost definitely continue with more fighting game characters. But just because we've seen prototypes doesn't mean they'll ever be released, that doesn't have anything to do with D-Arts.

In other news, Cure Sunny was announced for an August release, which gives us the complete Smile Precure team.

Imperialdramon was just confirmed by Bluefin as a "July/Aug" release at $64.99. So as soon as I manage to get a preorder in on Amazon, looks like I'll be cancelling my Nippon Yasan preorder.

I'm glad I held off pre ordering. Sometimes procrastination is a good thing.

That's also why I sought out a place that didn't require paying upfront. Doesn't seem like a loss to me. But if they didn't secure it, I'd have been even more mad at myself.

Has there been any more info on SHF Sadako, such as a release date?

So amazon.ca has both SSJ Goku and Piccolo up for pre-order for $31.99 and $34.99 respectively. What I want to ask is, how are these figures? They definitely are going for a good price but only reason I'd be getting them (or at least just Goku) would be for nostalgia. I don't particularly follow DBZ and only ever watched it on and off when ever it was on TV. Would these figures be worth it?

I would love some FMA Figuarts or some Bleach Figuarts at this point, damn an Ikakku Madarame Figuart with all three forms of his Zanpakuto Zabimaru: regular, shikai, & yes bankai aswell plus a Tamashii Stage with his squad symbol plus the symbol of his Zanpakuto so that way he could stand up whilst holding his damn bankai :lol. Also I'd love some Hellsing & Trigun figuarts aswell.

New Megamn/Rockman Figuart. Is the Zero for the Megaman Zero games.

Amazon now has Imperialdramon up.

Now to email Nippon-Yasan and hope they cancel my pre-order.

Here's hoping Imperialdramon does well...

Somebody must think it will if they were able to convince Bandai that Digimon is an important property for the US market and get a web exclusive a domestic release. But yeah, I know where you're coming from and sure hope it does too.

So does anyone have experience cancelling from NY? Only things I've seen recently are people cancelling with the promise that they would remake the order with additional items. I can see how they'd permit that, but I'm not sure how they'd take outright cancelling an order, especially a web exclusive that they'd probably already placed themselves... Guess I'll find out, but am still curious/impatient.

If he is coming out in August 30th then I guess I won't pick him up from Otakon. Digimon has a good amount of fans in the US, I think he will sell fine. Since this year is the 15th anniversary of the first season then I think we might see some Adventure figuarts soon like Angemon given how popular he was.

Greymon is iconic, but I'm not sure if he will release as a figuart or not. He might be release as a SH MonsterArt since he is not humanoid enough for the S.H Figuarts line.

Oh good, preorder cancelled. And it's a good thing Amazon makes it easy to update shipping, since who knows where I'll be living come August... but with free shipping and at a lower base cost I'm quite glad to have this order secured.

I'm surprised. I like Angemon, wasn't aware he was so popular. I think we may see more Tamers more or less as that's another popular season. So here's hoping I get a Gallantmon Crimson Mode, Sakuyamon, & Beelzemon Blast Mode.

I don't know about Japan, but I remember in the US that Angemon was popular with fans. I think we might see something from the Adventure seasons first due to the 15th anniversary before we see something else from Tamers.

There's a cheap Cure Moonlight on Mandarake...but I just started watching Heartcatch Precure...but I've heard that the Precure Figuarts suck. If anyone here has Cure Moonlight...how is it? and is it worth 2,500 yen plus shipping?

It can stand on it's own, most cures fail at that. :lol

Confirmed: Best toy ever! :p

But that's good, I saw reviews of Blossom and Marine, and yeah...I don't care if they're the main characters. I'm not buying them. Redo them Bandai.

Figure comes with standing action! :lolol

I would love to see figuarts of their civilian forms, as much as I love Tsubomi and Erika there's no way I'll pick those figuarts, they sound terrible going by reviews.
I'd rather get the Cure Dolls.

Aren't anime SHFs in general meant to be pretty crap? I thought that was like the one place where Figma were the better option.

More or less. :lol
But there are some human jewels out there like Elizabeth.

Yeah, their newer ones are great.

Don't worry. They'll get remade.
Everything will get remade and reissued before a Gekiranger Figuart even hits the drawing board. :lol

:lol

...
....

:cry

The earlier Precure have some problems, but they improve drastically with the Heartcatch line. The only problem being that Marine and Blossom's crazy hair styles makes them pretty much impossible to stay up without their stands. Although in fairness, they do at least all come with stands to support them. Moonlight, Sunshine and Dark are fine and really beautiful looking.

The Smile Figuarts are even better, basically on par with Figma's and they really put the Sailor Moon releases to shame. Basically, just avoid the Yes5 and Fresh releases, unless you're a really big fan of them.

Precures aren't as popular as Riders, so I doubt it. I bet we'll see Gekiranger first.

Thanks dude! Much appreciated! :D

Does anyone know what Wild Tiger figuart is worth buying since there's so many versions of him.

I only have the original, and I really like it. I want to say that one is the only one with the good luck mode parts, but don't hold me to that.

I'd say go for the One Minute Edition or the Movie version. Both come with a good characterful selection of hands the original was lacking. But if you really want the Good Luck mode arm, go with the original release.

It's unfortunate that the updated look for Barnaby and Wild Tiger are exclusives. They look pretty awesome so I might go for the Figure-rise 6 model kits. Also contemplating getting the Figuart for Wild Tiger's replacement as Barnaby's partner if I can find him for a good price after he is released.

I know its an impossibility, but I would love to see a squid girl figuart. it would need at the least two separate tentacle hair pieces, one static with no movement, and the other have jointed hair tentacles. I mean with all the rider building experience, along with precure and such, I would think its possible. Also, it must come with shrimp accessory. A fan can dream though.

Just get the Figma?

there's a figma?

Yup

http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product...ka+Musume.html

I highly recommend it. It's a great figure.

thanks I am not too familiar with figma outside of Metroid and link and ryuki. those were the only ones I knew of.

I used to have a lot of Figmas. All the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, K-On, and a few Strike Witches. I ended up selling them because of various reasons, but kept one.

Drossel from Fireball. I just could not sell it. It's such a cool robot. And somehow she looks like she could belong alongside my Figuart Sentai collection.

I'm still thinking of getting Figma Samus, Link, and Pit for the upcoming Figuart Mario now...

I'd LOVE a Figma or S.H Figuarts release of ANY Hellsing, Black Lagoon, OR Trigun characters make it happen DAMN IT :lol.

Hey, anyone hear of Ezhobi? It's a company, coming out with a Gokin line with Iron Man & Hulk+Abomination in 1/10 scale. Just heard about it on the Marvelious Toys podcast. Doing a bit a web searching, the images look good. And according to their Asian toy expert Jeff, they're supposed to be coming soon, if not already.
