Ultra-Act

Damn, first Jonias and now Ultraseven gets announced for September.

Is the Ultraseven using the supposedly improved Ultra-Act body or is it a straight reissue of the original?

He is a renewal. All new mold.

If it's a September release, when will it go up for pre-order? I have to have my friend in Australia on the trigger button, since I'll be asleep.

Most likely sometime next week.

I will do everything in my power to own this figure. It must be mine!

Besides AmiAmi.com, what are the best sites to watch for pre-ordering Ultraseven?

HLJ is probably a good bet, I know those are the two which are most often bandied about in discussion. They will be a little more but they sometimes seem to have preorders open longer.

I would love for Ultraseven to be like Taro, where preorders were relatively easy, but I don't think that will be the case, unfortunately.

Yeah there's HLJ and Hobby Search. Perhaps eToysJapan might be worth a shot as well (they got Jack in, not sure if they ever put up Father of Ultra or Taro preorders though).

I'm hoping that, after Taro was relatively easy to preorder and Ace was super-easy, that there'll be enough of Ultraseven that it won't sell out in mere minutes. Then again, the Zoffy rerelease sold out in the blink of an eye. Either way I'm just assuming I'm in for a fun few minutes of exasperated refreshing AmiAmi sometime soon.

EDIT:

For those interested, preorders for both versions of Jonias are up now on BBTS. About $90 each.
