That's kind of annoying, considering she's already been revealed and shown off. We know she's the next figure, that'll be a very underwhelming "reveal" for Wonderfest. I was really hoping for something new.. like Tuxedo Mask, or on of the other Senshi.

Imperialdramon is awesome! Completely out of the blue. I was talking to a friend of mine recently about how if they continue with Digimon they should do him next.. it just makes so much sense. He's like a dragon version of Omegamon.

He just kind of spells the point for where 02 goes from a meh series to a poor one, for me. It's very similar to Emperor Greymon and MagnaGarurumon in Frontier, where his power dwarfs everyone else's ability to the point that they're just background dressing or their actions are solely to show how ineffectual they are and how superior Imperialdramon is (Though, not identical, since Imperialdramon doesn't literally force everyone else to give up their powers).

I know that, from a design basis, it's fairly solid (I don't like his head, though), but as a character, I just can't stand him. And I'm the one who bought Omegamon, the Digimon who wiped out hundreds (During a point where the Digital World was resetting, so the Primary Village wouldn't exist), just because he could.

Meh, I'm getting him regardless. :p

So which middleman would you gents recommend ordering with such that I don't have to pay upfront?

I ordered this morning from Nippon-Yasan, I pretty much use them exclusively for web exclusives. I've never had a problem personally and prefer their prices and being able pay later.

>Pay later

How close to release do you have to pay and do you get a reminder?

Edit:

Walking through the checkout with them and holy shit man... 7400 yen for the figure alone and so many shipping options I don't know what to go with...

I believe you get a reminder 15 days before the figure is due to be released. I always pay in advanced so I've never gotten a reminder. Though I recommend paying at the beginning of the month just so your order is secure. I also recommend r-sal, but that's just me. Biginjap.com is good too, but they're more expensive and you have to pay upfront. Then of course there are the other sites listed in the Marketplace section which have their own payment requirements. Worse case scenario you could always wait for Mandarake, but if it's a popular release you'll of course end up paying more and having to hunt 24/7 to get one. lol. It's like a video game. >.>

The whole point being to not have to pay upfront, so I went through with them. And picked R-SAL, but didn't know that until I got the confirmation email since it's not labeled as such during checkout.

Now I wonder how willing they might be to change shipping addresses down the line... because I don't know where I'll be living at all come July.

I'm just glad she'll finally get a release date but according to a guy on another forum "the WonFes Sailor Moon page says they'll be displaying the painted Mercury Zero, as well as a new SH Figuart to follow up on the five warriors" so maybe we'll see a Tuxedo Mask...or if Bandai's feeling trolly...MINI MOON!:lol

If you plan to make a change to your order I would contact them as early as possible, they aren't always the fastest with replies. I find the best method is online chat or adding a comment to your order via the order details on your account history page. Yeah, they recently changed how their shipping is presented, but it's not hard to figure out what's what. They're a good store; just like any other Japanese store they have their quirks. lol.


Yeah that is nice, but it's not like Bandai is unpredictable. She'll probably be released in the summer sometime, lol. Bandai probably will troll us, but I'm hopeful. :)

Hehe most likely if it's not just Jupiter's reveal it'll be Tux Boy but if hell freezes over and it is Chibiusa*aka the Pink Menace possibly the most hated SM character ever* I'll be lmao at all the fan rage.:lol
