So I ordered a Goku Figuart from Amazon directly and this is what I got:

http://i.imgur.com/HxrMvjM.jpg

The hell is this?! It shorter than a DVD case and about three times as wide. I haven't opened it but it's clear whatever inside is just loose and moves around inside when holding the package. The image on Amazon clearly shows it with box.

Anybody have any experience with this from Amazon? Is this normal?

It's funny because I ordered a Piccolo one from a third party seller and few months ago and it was fine with that sticker and everything.

It sucks because I always keep the boxes for my figure. Now I'm going to have to do my second online return. They better cover shipping.

Nothing wrong with it, this is normal for Figuarts these boxes tend to be for their shop exclusive figures and such just open it and you'll see it in the box you normally see they use for display. Will edit this post with my Figuarts boxes later.

Edit: Imgur app's flaking out on me so can't post image, just open the box and you'll see it's legit.

That is the box that the Figuarts box ships inside from the distributor. The typical branded box should be inside. They have come with many of my Figuarts figures, including Dragon Kid that I ordered from Amazon and figures that I got as a gift direct from my friend's wife who's a Namco Bandai employee.

I can take pictures of my similar boxes when I get home.

Orchid seed old black one.

Edit
O I might get wing one with the chocolate guitar
Click to expand...
Yeah, that's the one I have [obviously, since Wing's version hasn't been released yet].

Orchid Seed did an incredible job on her, I'm sure you'll feel the same [if you decide to purchase her].

So yeah, I couldn't wait for OS's Sorceress and ended up buying MH's Sorceress despite my complaints of it. I thought I was getting better, but clearly not.

I would have waited for the Orchid Seed Sorceress if they had a better track-record for getting things out on time. But I have to say the three MH girls from Dragon's Crown look great together.

I'll probably pick up the OS version anyway whenever she comes out.

Speaking of Dragon's Crown, A+ Fighter is up on that french store.

For 249€.

NOPE.jpg

Edit : Amiami sells it for what amounts to 129€. With shipping + tax + customs fee it would probably amount to 200€, maybe 210. 249 is just gross, not to mention there's prolly shipement ontop.

Maybe some scale is necessary here's a picture of the Amazon box of Goku with the box of my Piccolo Figuart:

Here's another shot with my original 3DS on top:

Also there are definitely pretty loose plastic pieces inside the box. I can't believe its blister/window packaging.

If there is a box why would the packaging be so radically different in size between figures. Especially when Goku has more accessories with his Kamehameha effect piece.

Edit:

Looking at images it seems like box sizes are different with Piccolo being a bigger one so that's my mistake. I just didn't imagine a figure box could be that thin to fit in that size cardboard box. Still there's no mistaking that if it is in a box the pieces are very loose for some weird reason I've bought dozens of different figures and no one has pieces that feel as loose. That's why I thought the figure was loose in box. If

I beginning to agree that I was probably mistaken. Thanks Gaf.

Wait, you didn't open it?

Dude. Open it. If it's not right, you email support. Staring at a box isn't gonna help.

I agree that you should open it and see but I have another comment/question to make, Did johnsmith reach the crotchity old man phase of life while I wasn't looking. He seems so surly recently with the "Dangnabbit I don't preorder things!" "Grrrr back in my day things were cheaper and I had to walk to school up a hill both ways grrrr"


:p

Well it seems silly to take pictures, post on message boards, wait hours, when you could just open the thing and answer your own question in 5 seconds.

Wait! Wait!

I see no Shiro on your list. :|

I cancelled her a few weeks back. The more I looked at her the less I needed her, especially given the month. I do have my eye on Phat Company's version, though. It's being done by the same sculptor as Swamp Witch, so I have full confidence it will look great once painted

Here's hoping it hits during a reasonable month. -_-

Chrono-kun.... we talked about this.

Have fun waiting until 2016 for that.

I know we did. It was not an easy decision. :(

And yes, it will be 2016. Perhaps by then we'll have a Season 2 Shiro to look forward to/be released.

I am terrified.

Thankfully the following months are a lot easier, and I have plans to cancel a figure in November [Susie-san] to help make it more manageable. October really is the single month where all of my pre-orders were delayed to.
