I used to do EMS all the time because I was impatient. In retrospect, since my money was somewhat limited, that wasn't very smart. I've taken to using SAL now unless it's a huge order and the difference between SAL and EMS is negligible. While SAL does take time, I get to buy more figures with the same amount of money.

EMS is super fast, but it can be a bit pricey. Around $20-30 CAD usually from Japan for me.

I also have a not-quite Figuarts but related question involving Ryuki and the hard to find Figuarts. I'm liking the Ryuki show and even have Ryuki on the way. There's some really cool designs I want like Knight and Gai, but they're freaking impossible to find or crazy money. (Gai is over $100!)The Figmas, on the other hand, look not bad and are super good prices. Are they good stand-ins, at least until I can find the Figuarts? (I'd still get Knight if I could find him since the Figuart has his contract monster)

Also I don't know who Odin is but I saw his pre-order and I want him.

Verde is just a 10 minute bit part in comparison.

Are you sure he was even showed up for that long?

So, the Figmas? Acceptable, yes/no?
