Well these first appeared as just illustration which people first thought were Nendoroid teases (well it was by one of the Nendoroid artists).

Then it turned out that they were just releasing some bookmarks with the art on. That's why I call it a tease.

Not really a fan of the petites, something is kind of off about them, the eyes especially. Really annoying that they just reused the old sculpt when they released those recolours recently.

I have the one Haruka petite worth having though:

Oh petites are pretty lame I agree. They are like tiny Co-De.

Is Mandarake and Kirin Hobby safe to purchase items from? Im more concerned about Kirin Hobby since I've never heard of them but it was recommended/suggested in the previous "Figure" OT. Thanks!

Have used Mandarake a couple of times, one of which was for the most expensive item I've purchased when it comes to figures - and they've been great for me each time.

The banner at the top gives a code for £2. Should have mentioned that. Sorry.

Also my fault for not paying attention to the massive banner on their front page :3

They just cancelled the order - I had to raise a ticket as it looks like you can't do it yourself.. are they an Ami offshoot? lol - so I could reorder with the code for the lower price. Done!

Order sayaka maiko from Tokyo Otaku mode for 120, no tax and free shipping. Aniplex listed them as an official distributor. Rightstuf charges 150 due to 30 shipping surcharge.

Might get the pair....due to the holding hands pose

Wow, TRSI wants $150 for each and no option to buy together? I think I'll try my luck elsewhere if the price is going to be that high. I mean, it would be more reasonable if the yen was 100/usd but it's not.

I haven't shopped at Otaku Mode before but this price is pretty fantastic!

Okay, so here are some prices/info I've rounded up regarding the pricing for the Madoka Magica maiko Kyouko and Sayaka figures (mainly for US buyers, anyway).

Rightstuf:
$150 each, includes shipping. No option to bundle them. Payment required when items ship.
Kyouko http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/lW2l0vFWEyXeAtJQz0/browse/item/105360/4/0/0
Sayaka http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/lW2l0vFWEyXeAtJQz0/browse/item/105358/4/0/0

Otaku Mode:
$120 each, includes shipping. No option to bundle them. Payment required for PO up front.
Kyouko https://otakumode.com/shop/5518b204885db77c4278d5a0
Sayaka https://otakumode.com/shop/5518ae297efa737d420f41a5

Nippon-yasan:
13680 JPY each plus around 5000 more for shipping. They had a bundle option for 500 yen less than buying them individually but the bundle is sold out. Payment required when items ship. About $270 for the pair with today's exchange rate, which may not be the same thing in the winter.
Kyouko https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figure...-sakura-kyouko-maiko-ver-limited-edition.html
Sayaka https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figure...ca-miki-sayaka-maiko-ver-limited-edition.html
Bundle (SOLD OUT) https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figure...aka-kyouko-maiko-ver-set-limited-edition.html

Big In Japan:
15000 JPY each plus around 4000 more for shipping. They had a bundle option for 1000 yen less than buying them individually but the bundle is sold out. Payment required for PO up front. About $280 for the pair with today's exchange rate, which may not be the same thing in the winter.
Kyouko http://biginjap.com/en/pvc-figures/11763-puella-magi-madoka-magica-sakura-kyouko-maiko-ver.html
Sayaka http://biginjap.com/en/pvc-figures/11762-puella-magi-madoka-magica-miki-sayaka-maiko-ver.html
Bundle (SOLD OUT) http://biginjap.com/en/pvc-figures/...gica-miki-sayaka-sakura-kyouko-maiko-ver.html

Aniplex+ Store:
13,000 JPY each (or 26,000 for the pair), plus tax, forwarding, and shipping fees since they don't ship outsie of Japan. Not sure when payment is required but I think it is not in advance. Using Tenso to forward this would probably end up around $260 or more for the pair with today's exchange rate, which may not be the same thing in the winter.
Kyouko https://www.aniplexplus.com/itemKfafoDDA
Sayaka https://www.aniplexplus.com/itemPsAoRRtd

For Europeans, Ixu's Deviance is offering these figures for 138 euro each, "tax excl." and no bundle option. Ixu's is based in France and they ship internationally. Payments required when items ship.
Kyouko http://www.ixudeviance.com/en/stron...ca-kyouko-sakura-maiko-ver-4571368444851.html
Sayaka http://www.ixudeviance.com/en/stron...gica-sayaka-miki-maiko-ver-4571368444868.html

For US buyers, Otaku Mode seems like the pretty clear winner if you can afford to pay up front. If not, N-Y might be the next best thing for a combination of price and convenience. Using Tenso to forward directly from Aniplex will probably save a few bucks if you want to deal with an Japanese-only storefront and the forwarding hassle.

Can we get a proper Inkling figure so I don't have to hunt down the Amiibo.
Click to expand...

I hope Nintendo doesn't cut back on licensing proper figures now that they're doing Amiibo. I'll probably only be buying the Yoshi plush, if it doesn't look terrible IRL, and I refuse to call it an amiibo.

Otaku Mode doesn't ship to Canada (which is dumb since they were here at FanExpo last year) and I already have a rightstuf account, so imma just go with them

You could use a US proxy though, right? May not end up saving you much money, I guess. I'd suspect you'd pay about $15 per figure to get them proxy shipped across the border.

That works.

Edit:
Also of note: you get a $5 off coupon just for making an account at Otaku Mode.

Did some research and I would still end up paying around $300 for both Sayaka and Kyoko. So might as well just stick with rightstuf. I'm not sure if they're making me pay the customs fee ahead of time like Mami though. :/

Did more research: They charge the customs ahead of time and include it with the shipping cost
