i hope they reissue saber extra... and misaka mikoto... and kuroko...

Guys.... sorry to break the happiness bubble over here.... but
according to GSC, it seems that limited editions and game bundle specials such as the Saber Lily and Saber Extra figmas will not be reissued....

if not i would be very very very happy already....

Kuroko was going for like 50% just a while back, bro. It's really too bad if you didn't manage to snatch one up during that time. I actually cancelled my initial pre-order for her bundle which was going for full price and then placed a new order for the discounted one instead. That really shocked me when I refreshed the page and saw the newly discounted one shortly before making the payment for my initial order. Think I got kinda lucky that one time.

As much of a shame it really is, I think it would only make sense for them to not reissue such bundles. If you see it from their point of view, you can kinda say that it almost entirely kills off the entire point of such bundles (their so-called exclusiveness) in the first place, not to mention the hassle of having to reproduce/manufacture those items that come with them (key chains, game CDs/DVDs, audio CDs, books, etc.). Knowing all that, they'll probably want to leave it at that. Though it really is too bad for those who missed them the first (and only) time around.

On the other hand, a new Figma was announced and opened for pre-orders today.

FIGMA AMAGI YUKIKO from PERSONA 4:



Scheduled for a late August 2012 release.

yea.... kinda sad though.... no matter how high the votes for Figma Saber Lily and Figma Saber Extra... they will never be reissued again....

So many wasted votes. Zzzz

well... i also voted for them.... only to find out later that they will NEVER be reissued....

I think the section where you get to suggest future releases is more important and appealing to me haha. I need more Gantz babes to compliment Reika on the bike from last year lol. And for the last time, enough with the BRS variations. It's making me go INSANE (BRS). We need some newer, never before introduced lines to keep things interesting. Something like the one in the below picture.

Figma Tachibana Hibiki from Senki Zesshou Symphogear:

there must be a reason they are in the vote list, GSC can be more creative to re-release them in a different bundle

Well, let's just hope for the best in that case. Maybe they just meant they won't reissue/re-release in the similar bundle from before as you say but instead in a new and different bundle, bro.

this will be my new hope for now.... hope it would not turn out to be another false hope....

Not sure if GSC is trolling
or just plain stupid.

Persona 4 figmas look nice indeed. Must not succumb and PO.

they pull the list out from their own figure databases, just so that they don't miss any figures out that already released out in the past. some might see it trolls by GSC, but more than rather having all out without clearing the list of limited edition and bundles (just like how you see cheerful version figures on the list as well)

that is very possible too, totally understand why they do not want to reissue the exclusives and cheerfuls

but if i am GSC and see the high demand of these items, i will release a slightly different version to make more money^^

so we must vote to show them, even if we may not get it in the end

D-ARTS WILD ARMS 'KNIGHT BLAZER':



Pre-orders opened earlier today and it is scheduled for a late July 2012 release. And wow, this actually looks pretty darn nice. Might just get it as my first (and hopefully last) D-ARTS lol.

erm d-arts huh...

yea... that's why im still spamming the Sabers now...
what is that character from? and D-ARTS are???

I guess you can say D-ARTS is another sub-division of Bandai's SH Figuarts, like ULTRA-ACT in a sense. And Knight Blazer is a transformation of the main character from the game WILD ARMS 2.

Also, I just got my parcel of Figma Uesugi Kenshin and Play Arts MGS Solid Snake today without any issues. Looks like the whole custom tax saga was a little bit of an exaggeration after all.

That Asakura Yoh figure is a RIO: bone figure, if I'm not mistaken. Not Bandai D-ARTS.
