Yeah, i just checked HLJ and they’ve moved to “Backorder”.

Someone hinted that they were hooking me up with one for X-mas, dunno if they got in on it in time though.

Thanks for the update Shingo.

I’m glad to see some are being delayed, with all of the holiday shopping I’ve been doing, my credit card could use a break. According to HLJ, my wallet was going to take an extremely hard hit in DEC.

HLJ has also listed the Night Shift Nurses as being released in January.

Not at all surprising, as Giga Pulse is known for missing initial release dates with regularity.

And here i was hoping to have Kazama gracing my shelf for the holidays.

Thanks Shingo.

Just a correction on my part: The Reflect resin Ino actually has her nipples showing as her costume doesn’t cover them. Guess the PVC version is already modified. 8(

Yeah. Just received emails saying my Cobra-Kai’s Mai and Kanu are shipping. Glad (and a bit sad) I cancelled Mizuka earlier. But I think I’m regretting a bit now, as the final product looks good. Will buy it later if my finances allow, and is still in stock.

I just got emails saying that all three have shipped… now I need to find the money to pay for them by this evening, yikes. ^^;;

>>loplop
Not to mention them indeed. After checking up on their status I don’t have anything conclusive to report; they’re officially still scheduled for December release but I’m not sure whether this will end up being the case.

>>blacklotus
Ino will not be castoffable, I believe. We’ve received no indication to that effect, and she’s not listed as POLO System on Goodsmile’s site.

Musubi is not available anywhere yet beyond Movic’s official site; preorders haven’t officially opened for her yet. I’ll be watching for them with unnervingly hawk-like fixation, though.

Any idea if Ino will be top castoffable with nipples? I know the original Reflect resin kit does. But so far, there’s no news on whether the PVC version will be like the resin version or will be modified to suit more conservative tastes.

Also, is Musubi (race queen ver) available from international webshops too?

Thanks.

Anyone else with info to add, please chip in. Thanks too.

Not to mention the Night Shift Nurses’ Kazama Ai & Nanase Ren figures that were originally to be out in November . . .

Well, I have to say that these are now in stock at Hobby Search:

Art Storm’s Mizuka
Daiki Kougyou’s Mai Shiranui
Yamato’s Kanu Uncho

They all look pretty good too..

Thank God for delays. It’s a much needed break for my wallet right now.

Well that sucks for me. Yet another month (plus insane US distribution wait) for Ino, Kanu (China Dress Ver.) & Char (my preorder is shaky on this one, though). At least my 1/5 Toushirou’s are still on schedule. Thanks for the delay update Shingo (even if I hate that they are delayed), it’s always good to know.

This was scary for me to look through! At first I just cringed and flew through it imagining that all listed were delays and I was in pain. Then I looked closer with the painful part over to find that much of that list is on time and I was refreshed and excited! Whew, several of mine that I dreaded would be delayed are almost here!
