Things have been different for the past year or so, presumably because someone else is in charge of all the PR stuff now. Pure speculation, but this backlog probably won't effect their releases after the April batch. Unless you're ordering from Amazon, because their stock seems to be especially slow these days to come in, even more than usual.

Yeah, all of mine are, which is not helping my angst.

Is the Figuart really our first look at the Mark 45? Lol. But it does make me wish I held out for the inevitable second suit (since there's now a precedence of Iron Man replacing his main armor halfway through movies...) instead of grabbing the Mark 43 so fast. *sigh* I still only want an Iron Man. So might have a Mark 43 for sale if I get a 45 preorder...

Looks like Hulk and Cap are due for July and Thor and Mark 45 in September. Not that long after the movie all things considered. Pretty cool.

(Edit: Okay apparently the teaser a week or two ago showed Mark 45 too, but I totally missed reports on that.)

Oh, and Luke. Yeahduh I'll be getting Luke. The unmasked Vader head looks amazing too.

I may try to pick up Cap.

Baltan II · 03-20-2015, 11:47 AM

I'm digging the Avengers, minus Cap's head design and maybe Thor's likeness. Luke is pretty cool too. But for the non-toku side of Figuarts I am surprisingly digging the Akuma Shogun much more. Think I need to find somewhere actually selling Warsman and play catchup on the line when I have more money.

Yeah, kind of regretting jumping on the Mark 43 now. Oh well.

We almost have the complete DokiDoki team now.

ZeoRangerV · 03-20-2015, 01:02 PM

Mark 45 makes me incredibly happy I couldn't afford the 43 at the time it went up. I'll be getting that one instead for sure, even though right now I can't actually make out that much difference between them

Prices for all the Figuarts are just as I expected them to be (pretty much the same as the Figmas, save for Iron Man being cheaper), and just like the Figmas I don't expect them to come with a whole lot either. Not a big deal, as they'll definitely come with all the necessary stuff.

Dates are perfect too! My July order is tiny so fitting Hulk and Cap there isn't a problem, and the Agito is the only toku figure I want from August so that's a perfect fit. Might be able to squeeze Luke in too...wasn't gonna get him originally, but I guess Darth Vader will be lonely on his own.

Now we just wait patiently for all the pre-orders to go up and the announcement of the Hulkbuster suit. I really hope these sell well enough for Bandai to consider doing Hawkeye and Blackwidow if they haven't already. I also wonder if we'll be getting Ultron, I'm sure everyone would love an Ultron to go up against the Avengers.

After looking at Imperialdramon Paladin Mode again, it kinda makes me hesitate on getting the Fighter Mode now...but really I'm probably going to cave. I'm going to try for MK 43, but no promises. Thor's a given, as I need to see him compared to the Figma. And I think Luke is a lock...everything else I'm playing by ear.
