According to their website. I have only recently tried it for a nendo that has yet to come here, therefore I can't give you a personal testimony.

Took 2 weeks exact for my Figma Link to arrive via SAL Registered. I have 1 week to go for a current shipment so fingers crossed it's the same or sooner
For anybody wondering how freaking huge the Hot Toys Iron Monger is, here's a few comparison pics. Cell phone quality so they aren't that hot.
Original Tumbler box with a regular 1/6 hot toys figure box.
Compared against Original Dark Knight Hot toys figure and Dark Knight Rises Batpod, almost double the size of a regular figure.
Against the original tumbler
If you guys can pick him up, he's freaking glorious. The detail, the size, the scale one of my favorite HT figures ever.

NOPE! only fighting game figures or figures from series I really like (Steins;Gate is my personal best anime I have ever seen). Bayonetta is too fucking expensive and that ear.

I just opened my Hot Toys Iron Monger last night and it truly is glorious. Although Hot Toys' cheap glue shines again. One of the pistons that connects from the backside of the upper right arm to his back came detached out of the box and one of the missiles from the left arm was also detached.

Thanks guys - I'm in no hurry, but I'd like to have an idea when to maybe expect my kit. 
Steins;Gate is indeed amazing. I was hooked on that show from start to finish.
I really want Makise and Mayuri figures now.
Maybe Faris too.

Another thing, I don't know about you guys, but mine require signature. Luckily I work from home but just wanted to give you a heads up in case you're not there when it arrives.Thanks guys - I'm in no hurry, but I'd like to have an idea when to maybe expect my kit.

Holy shit, for a second I thought the Jim Gordon box was a bootleg DVD case. That is a gargantuan figure.

Pretty much all of the internet figure shops have a no cancelations policy on paper, but they will generally let you if its far enough in advance and you don't have a long history of cancelations.
As for changing your shipping, yes you can. Just log into your account and there's a link to change your shipping. You can even change your shipping all the way up until the moment you pay for your item once it's released.
I think you can change the shipping when you're order is about to be paid for. Agreed on the cancellation part.

Almost $500.
Looking at that 2nd to last pic, it looks too small -- didn't Stane fit completely inside the torso in the film?
I was able to get AmiAmi to cancel an order once after contacting them through email, but I've ordered a lot from them previously before so hum.
But it came with free EMS shipping, which is blessing for a figure that size.

Might have to order that Figma Asuna.
Thank you for showing me this, finally was able to get a pre-order in on the statue for Asuna.

Sorry, follow up question. Where do you live? Japan?
Cause the Hibari and Ikaruga figures said something like "for sale in Japan", and I live outside of Japan but would really like the Ikaruga figure.
I used EMS because I wanted it to arrive before the end of the holidays.

If this is about Amiami having that in the sidebar, I have no idea what they're referring to.
Regardless, they will ship to you just fine. I have ordered a tonne with that designation.

is anyone buying d-arts mewtwo?
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-IPN-05346
is this the first in a series or are there more d-arts pokemon? mewtwo would not have been my first choice, but it looks cool. if this is the first in a series: why did they choose mewtwo??? wouldn't pikachu be better?

Too many Pikachu figures XD; seriously just too much, if you look at amiami there are Pokemon evolution lineup figures and I'm not kidding each one has a Pikachu along with the evolution lines. The only exception is Charmander evolution sets.

mewtwo is humanoid though, making the poseable aspect possible. pikachu is like potato shaped with stubbly arms an legs. How much would you even be able to pose a pikachu figure? probably why they went with mewtwo

I think it looks cool, but I wasn't sure I needed it. Preordered it just to be safe. If their Megaman X line is any indication, D-Arts figures seem to be aimed at slightly older crowd, the same kind of people that probably grew up with Pokemon Red/Blue/Green and Mewtwo Strikes Back/Pokemon the First Movie. To those people, and myself, Mewtwo was the ultimate badass. Bring on the Armored version!

Hi five!
Gimme Lugia, and I'll be happy
*preordered Mewtwo as well
Yes, this is thd first Pokemon D-arts. Charizard is already open for preorder, and we have seen prototypes of Bulbasaur and Blastoise, though Bandai is known for making prototypes for shows and not selling them.
Apologies to Futurevoid for stealing his pic but I am a lazy bastard and dont want to go through all the pages looking for pics again.
Does anyone know the site I can go on to get these types of movie figures. I am not a fan of Ebay.
I believe that particular figure came from Sideshow Collectibles.
High-quality, high-dollar stuff.
Sideshow toys?

I got my Hot Toys Avengers movie Iron Man from them.

black widow figure going for 32 on amazon. Its too cheap not to say nooooo Fml. Free super saving shipping
kasumi also for 3000 yen on mandarake. Thinking about it but.... shipping might be a bitch. Would probably end up being around 5000yen total

That's really cheap, but I don't like that figure at all. They need to stop using that sculptor. His faces are awful. He did the Men in Black and Ghostbusters bishoujo, X-23, Harley Quinn, and Supergirl. Supergirl is ok, but they are all the bottom tier of Bishoujo figures for me. I also need to stop buying stuff just because its cheap. Bought the Invisible Woman bishoujo just bc it was 35.99, and I regret it.
At least I'll be able to recreate this pic

Wait this isn't the same as the SDCC exclusive is it? Because they clearly both look remarkably similar....and yes, I know they're both Kotob.

Thats how it started for me too. But then I started seeing more and more figures that I liked and so I read and watched the respective manga and anime that the characters came from and opened up a can of worms. Now my collection consists mostly of anime/manga as opposed to videogame and fighting game characters.
And for some of the newer folks to the thread heres my MFC page. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

Thanks a lot. Ikaruga ordered. Might ship with the senran kagura vita LE....
