everything is constantly delayed this year. Almost 80% of my AmiAmi preorders have had changes in release dates.

Is nendo Eren up for preorder soon?
nendo Eren is up for po tomorrow. They also showed a preview for nendo levi on the english blog.
Can't even pretend to be surprised at Bayonetta being delayed. Again. I guess I can understand if they want to release it around the same time-frame as the movie but it doesn't make it any less annoying...
I was going to say I hope so, so that maybe they can finally move away from AoT for a sec and show the world hylian nendo and gay nendo, but then I legit just caught wind of this:
Looks like there's a Levi nendo in the making --- loling all the more after having seen this image:
AoT fujoshi are having a field day I bet hahaha

What is the longest a figure has been delayed?

Wasnt planning to get a Levi, but will definitely get Levi nendo just to recreate that scene with him and Eren nendo.

The longest I know of is...
She should have been January, and is coming out on the 28th of this month.

What was the reason for the Bayo delays?
post pictures
Almost a whole year! That's nuts.
I have to kind of wonder if these delays have any effect on the figure maker themselves, because it seems to be the norm...
There's a Bayonetta movie coming out next month. I suspect they prefer to release it along with the movie.

I doubt that was the original plan, but at this point, what's one more delay?

Have they even shown off an updated sculpt of Bayonetta after this much delay or we're sure it was finalised and held back till the movies out now? I mean they might as well "improve" the quality whilst their delaying...

Last pics I saw of her were from NYCC. Check Tomopop or Plastikitty.

Anyone have any of the Revoltech Monster Hunter Figures? I'm thinking of getting some, but they don't have many reviews on Amazon.

Ah found it the stand looks great: NYCC 2013: Phat! Companys Bayonetta
I've got the Azure Rathlos one, they are quite good but I you ever want to pose it properly you'll definitely need the stand, at least with mine one it does great sword and all, they come with quite a number of accesories etc. The quality is good but if you can get it cheaper than from Amazon, your one's still for sale on Amiami and for a much cheaper price:
Revoltech Yamaguchi No.133 Hunter Swordsman Jinou Series from "Monster Hunter"(Released)
Fuckkkkkk

Thanks, I've never really owned figures besides stuff that comes in special editions of games, but I love monster hunter so I decided to get something from it. Thanks for the link.
Orchid Seed's Ignis took almost 3 years from prototype. It was released earlier this year.

Anyone still looking for Olivia (and willing to pay for it), Koto has it up on their US site... $139.99.... yeesh.
I suspect the post release price will skyrocket.

If the first day she went up for pre-order is any indication, it's pretty much a certainty. HLJ just put her up yesterday and she's already sold out. I'm a bit surprised that people aren't being scared away by the shipping costs on this one.
I wonder if johnsmith is regretting his decision, yet.

Also check out this one, if you want higher quality, this one was made for Monster Hunter 4 CE in Japan, much higher quality and larger size but higher price:
Monster Hunter 4 - Rathalos Armor Hunter (Swordman)

That looks really nice, how is shipping from these websites? I've only ever ordered from play-asia and remember it was free.
Olivia is up on Hobbyfan for only $99.99.
http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?products_id=16320
I've used them once in the past and didn't have an issue with them. if you don't mind waiting a bit longer than the Japanese release to receive her, this might be a good option.

It can range from cheap to horrific, depending on what shipping method you choose, and the size/weight of the package.

Check out the shipping section on the first post, easily explained.

Damn it, I really want to get her...
You're dead set on making me poor, aren't you?!
Enablers, the lot of you!

I like the figure, just not the face. She looks like she has too much babyfat in those cheeks.
Dat butt. Really tempted to get some of those Tekken bishous.

Ugh, with all of the Marvel and DC bishoujos coming out next year, I'll be spending enough just keeping up with those.
I know, right? Koto is going to get so much of my moneys next year (and a sizeable chunk of that is Olivia lol).

Don't tell me you're really tempted by that... She's flying through the air and not even looking where she's aiming. What a dummy.
I rust that GSC will use a metal peg/support for the leg/base. Or, at least, I'd hope they would.
She's so great at what she does that looking at the enemy is beneath her.
BTW, she's up at AmiAmi. 7,200 yen, not a bad price.

If only my January wasn't so full it would be an immediate pre-order. I'll have to give it some thought. I'm sure it will be delayed [this IS GSC, after all], but even still...

Don't do it, man. Especially if you already have two Madokas. It's a terrible pose, no matter how you try to justify it.
Well to be fair, she's based off of the Japanese poster for the Madoka Magica movie, specifically this one:
I just really like the shading on her, and you can never have too much Madoka.

It's your money, dude. But you know that you're going to see plenty of other stuff you'll want.
That's why I haven't pre-ordered yet.
I'm holding off to see if anything is revealed for for January that I want more, or if some stuff within that month is delayed. Even if it is I'll have to give it some careful consideration as I don't want to make the beginning of the year too painful [cost-wise].
So while I do like her, it's not enough for me to place a pre-order right away. GSC figures don't sell out immediately anyway, so I'll have at least until December to decide. Hell, Ultimate Madoka was available up until the month of release, if I remember correctly.
