How is Nin Nin Game compared to Amiami with shipping time?

This is my first order with them so I'll let you know once I get it.

I've only had mixed to bad experiences with Amiami in the past so I try to avoid them when I can. That being said, COVID is still impacting shipment from Japan > USA so who knows.

So far I like that Nin Nin charges clear shipping right up front, even though I'm not sure how they can do that. FRS Hibiki shipping was $12.50

this is how Hibiki will looks if it painted properly (i mean, not the main maziora color, but the yellow demon head thing on his head, the silver chest armor, the belt, etc)

btw, is the Ongekiko removable? let's hope so

I've found that, if you pre-order something Nin-Nin will be super quick in getting it out. Faster than AmiAmi (who I've always had really fast shipping with too).

...However ordering in stock items will make you wait like hell, still waiting on an order I placed 2 weeks ago to ship despite paying for FedEx.

I'm too excited for this one, and a little bit too maniac(?), anyway, here's more pic of Hibiki

Panel line and gloss coat I think can pretty much replace painting everything metallic except the silver.

I bought some Testor's color shift paint back when Hibiki was announced because I was sure the body color was going to be off. So far it looks good in the videos, but just like these pictures, I feel like it's not done justice until you see it in person. If the color isn't up to your expectations, this paint does a great job matching up with the Medicom Hibiki figure. Hopefully I won't have to use this paint and I'll just be touching up the silver and gold parts, but just thought someone might find the brand and pictures of this paint useful. I'll try to get a comparison on the sprues when I get the kit on Tuesday.

Okay my FRS Hibiki just came in the mail today!

Let me know if anyone wants pictures or notes on something before I assemble it.

I gotta say, Nin Nin Game was definitely a good experience. I believe Hibiki was released on the 17th, so I got it just 4 days later. Japan is still experiencing shipping delays so NNG upgraded my shipping to DHL at no extra charge. I paid $12 for shipping. Total cost for Hibiki was $38 USD. It's really nice that the shipping charge is shown up front when you buy from them.

That's very impressive, wow!! I really gotta consider that...

Picture anything you find interesting during construction; I'm really excited to see how this kit turns out!
