Just saw this and wanted to post it too
![]() It's cute but I don't really care? Clever idea for sure, but why bother with a piece you can only use for one, maybe two poses. Same with the Morph Ball, I think it's practically useless. I would say "better than nothing" but I will wait with that statement until I've seen the price tag ![]() Love the overall look of the figure though; especially the back pieces of the lower legs that collapse when the joint is engaged. ![]() ![]()

Yeah and it's some sort of dumb limited release meaning not every shop has it and those who do don't grant a pre-order discount.
Don't care for most of the accessories and at this price point it should be perfect, but it isn't, the hands really need black paint on the fingers. I kind of want to pass on this now ![]() |

The price I was prepared for since most Figmas seem to go for that these days, but I wasn't expecting the release date to be October 2023! Geats'll be over by then! We'll be getting leaks for the 48th Sentai! Is this normal for Good Smile?

So yeah, it happens, and also, don't count on this actually being released in October 2023. Every figma I pre-ordered in the last 2 years was delayed at least once. |

Very normal for Good Smile. Their bread and butter is the Nendoroid line and now the Pop Up Parade figures are doing very well. This leaves Figma and their model kits as premium items that take much longer.
Also Good Smile works almost exclusively with licensed goods so often the process takes a while because of the licensee.

That's a bit of a shame, but when the figure looks this good I'm very willing to wait a bit

Sometimes. I pre-ordered Doom Slayer in July 2021; he had a July 2022 release date at the time but was delayed to October 2022.
So yeah, it happens, and also, don't count on this actually being released in October 2023. Every figma I pre-ordered in the last 2 years was delayed at least once. All this being said, yeah I'm kinda getting cold feet on Sammy right now even if this is about what I expected. Shin's announcement the other night and the likelihood that Shuu is out the following month, on top of my self-imposed restrictions for next year means that I'll probably skip out on her.

Wait, Shin? You don't mean Shin Kamen Rider, right?

If I, specifically, am mentioning "Shin" and not including the words "Kamen Rider", "Ultraman", "Godzilla", or any other title or character to whom the adjective has been appended, rest assured I'm referring to Suiko no Shin, the Samurai Trooper (see avatar).
