Looks awesome. I wish they had done Charmander and Squirtle. I guess they went with the final forms of the three starters and the special Pokemon from the first games... for some reason.

Those 3 are really the ones that have the most nostalgia attached for me. The ones everyone was racing to get fully evolved in the game and also the 3 pokemon cards everyone wanted the most. Mewtwo is the other one that sticks out, which they were smart to do as well.
Obviously this is specific to my experience and friends at the time, so I can see it being different for other people.

Being on the box art for all 3 original games doesn't hurt their iconic status either.

I missed out Charizard. Pre-ordered Blastoise at HLJ, and Venusaur at AmiAmi. Now I need to find a store for Charizard. God damnit. haha.

Haha I did the same thing, at the same stores no less. HLJ were the only ones that had Blastoise left by the time I'd stopped sleeping on these releases.

You missed out on it being cheaper but still available here
Now it makes perfect sense. I guess that means we probably won't see any more figures in this series?

I am going to regret for not buying it asap, but I have to wait. Figuring out financial. (have to book a flight from Germany to Seattle next week haha. And Iron Man is around the corner too. haha.)

Thanks for that! I totally forgot to check N-Y.
Well they did do Mewtwo. I'm not sure how likely it is though honestly. A lot of figures seem to have high demand so I'm not sure if popularity alone is enough of a motivator. It has to count for something though and I would think there are plenty of others they could do that would sell well if they do decide to make them.
that's nuts. Totally gonna grab it on AmiAmi when it's up
Eh, Charizard is certainly the obvious choice, but I've always liked Venusaur too.

Sailor Moon in US will have all the same accessories as the Japanese release. Ordered a few for when they are released in the US.
Sweet. Thanks for the info
Even the crying face that's supposed to be first run only?
Yeah, it's just because Ash's unruly Charizard was a recurring character in season 2/3/whichever.
Whats the time frame difference between the Japanese and US release?

US will be a September release, and yes including the crying face.

Wow. Reservations closed already.
How do you know this if you don't mind me asking?

My store uses BlueFin for distribution. They released the email today for preorders. It said that the first orders come with the additional faces.

I can confirm as well; we get those same e-mails from them.
Sailor Moon is on Amazon

SWEEET! Done and done!
Thanks for the link! The fact that it's prime eligible makes it a better choice than AmiAmi for me.
Speaking of which, I don't think she'll be up on AmiAmi. Someone on MFC emailed them and got this response:
Thanks for heads up. No need to worry

I decided to pre-order Moon. I was pretty impressed with their Lelouch figuarts, so I'll try this one too.

Why oh why didn't I pre-order that 7th Dragon Chelsea figure? ;_;
I didn't realize how awesome she looked at the time.

I ordered her as soon as I saw Samurai sold out and rocketed in price immediately after release. I had a feeling the same thing would happen with Hacker and I know it's going to happen with Miku. Shining Wizard is a master, easily one of the best sculptors out there.

Yeah I think I prob order charizard off amazon and blastoise as well if I can find a preorder. Charizard is 60 with shipping.. Not that bad right?
DeadRockstar
Member
Definitely. It's one of shining wizard's sculpts that started me collecting.

Well, I think at the time she was put up, I was still planning on just sticking with Kotobukiya bishoujos.
That worked out. ¬_¬
Agreed.
AmiAmi increased her price after getting more stock available for pre-order and they still sold out. Thankfully, I have her pre-ordered for the cheaper price, but even for the price increase, I'd gladly pay it.
The whole 7th Dragon 2020 line is amazing. I've already decided to pick up whichever characters are released [the next being Hatsune Miku].
Yeah, I know what that's like. My original plan was X-Men bishoujos, Persona, and Vanillaware figures only.
That didn't work out.

Ooh, where did you find a Chie?
Which one? I have 4 and a 5th preordered.

Welp, my S.H.Figuarts collection is starting quickly.
from none to 5 ordered in a few minutes.
At least they don't seem like a pain in the butt to get like past released Figma are.

The Megahouse P4 one. Is she a re-release?
Nope. Release date is next month. She's sold out everywhere though, except for BBTS, where she is way overpriced. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MGH10406&mode=retail
I ordered from Nippon yasan.

Hahahahaha. $200 is ridiculous.
I better make sure I get that Megahouse Labrys the moment she goes up.
$200 is ridiculous, and yet, it will probably sell.
She was released at a really expensive time for me, so I couldn't pre-order her. She definitely looks great, though.
Pre-ordered one. Now...where's a Tuxedo Mask to go with her?
