And Avengers, and Ryuki/Dragon Knight.

Though technically Dragon Knight and Ryuki are two different franchises due to legal voodoo stuff.

Anyway, while I'm still going insane over the how/why/WHY?! of 300 getting figmas, I find myself asking:

Considering how goddamn huge it is in Japan, why do we not have Skyrim figmas? I'd freaking kill for a Dragonborn, especially with the horses coming out this year.

Did they ever have the survive suits as figmas?

Unfortunately not. We didn't even get the Xaviax that was teased.

Shame, a Knight Survive with a non-brick cape would've been awesome. Really wish they'd done the Wing Cycle and Dragon Cycle as ex:ride releases, too.

FYI, Sinon was predictably delayed to March.

Yeah, Former informed me last night. Which is great, because I'm broke this month due to missing so many hours because of all the goddamn snow and car troubles, but also terrible, because that means March just got that much heavier.

Is Skyrim popular in Japan? This is the first I've heard of it.

I'd want a Jarl Balgruff.

Just paid for Sinon. ^_^

Guess I can expect to get my payment request from amiami later on today, then.

Got my Sinon today! :D

First impression:

Good god opening her was a pain! I don't know why, but her plastic tray just did not want to open.

Also her instructions are in English. That is a surprisingly awesome touch. I like it. A lot.

The strap on her rifle seems way too big and is difficult to work with.

One of her shins slides off about halfway. Huh.

She looks cool!

I need to play with her more.

Having done some checking on Former's before I send her off later this week, I can attest to all these points except for the shin. Didn't have that problem.

Anyway, she's quite a fantastic figure overall, and dear god I've seen entire figures with less detail and tooling than went into that rifle. Kind of upset that they keep making so few of these things, because now I kind of want one for myself... but not at the prices she's commanding right now.

Very nice. I want her. Don't know why, but I do now.

Did anyone got a payment e-mail for Solid Snake yet?

He doesn't have a release date yet.

NY has him for 4/30/015 the last time I check. If he was set for April then I would get a payment e-mail from the website by now. I don't follow Figma as much as I do with other toy lines, so I have no clue if he got push back or not.

He was set for April, but that means nothing until Good Smile Company post up an actual date on their website. Which they haven't done. NY's dates are just estimates.

They also haven't confirmed whether he's been pushed back yet, but it's most likely at this point. Same with Lucina.

EDIT: Delayed til June. Still no word on Lucina.

Mmm... Nah. June's too heavy as it is and I'd still just rather wait for an MGS version. Or Old Snake.

And I'm real glad Bandai got the Sailor Moon license.

When is yami yugi meant to come out

Like anyone else BUT Bandai were going to get that :lol

No date.

Damn

Still though, I kind of prefer how Figma does anime characters over Figuarts' approach. Plus it'd mean more faces and flexible skirts.

And the possibility of "civilian" releases.

But would it be worth all the delays?:p

If it meant being able to get a regular Ami, I would pay my body's weight in organs.

Obviously they would not be MY organs...

Lucina also delayed to June.

So glad I decided not to preorder her.

Got an email from HobbySearch, apparently the Asuna re-release has been pushed back to June.

So...it would be safe to assume...that somewhere there are people/bodies missing organs.....which, would likely be stored elsewhere still...to be auctioned for monies to pay for said figures....?

There's a Yugi coming out? Kewl! I remember the prototype being shown awhile back. Was that Figma, or Figuarts?

That was figma. I'm surprise figma got it due to yugioh was in Shonen jump back in 1996 so normally Bandai get the Shonen stuff.

June, june... Wait, wasn't she already scheduled for June?

You're on the right track...

Nope, May.

Huh. Could've sworn... *sigh* Well, June just got more expensive...

Oh ok. Feel better knowing.

Well....That explains your avatar's description......devil be darn....

Actually it's a reference to the anime The SoulTaker… which the avatar and sig come from.

Ah....

anyone know where i can preorder the brown figma horse?

Yeah, haven't seen that thing in my normal search channels.

The only way you could have preordered it was on the Goodsmile shop round the beginning of the year. It's meant to be one of their first home manufactured figures so both it and the white horse are special exclusives.
