Gazham Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 So I've seen the first actual figures being sold on yahoo auctions today, so they must have been shipped to Japanese customers. Has anyone received any emails confirming shipping yet? I haven't heard from Tokyo otaku mode about it yet. Hopefully we get some first hand picture of the new figma soon! Quote
Sully Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 My two arrived at my sisters house yesterday But will be awhile before I get them in person, waiting for X-Mas season to be over as customs will be going crazy checking boxes at the mo. Quote
Kanji Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Movie Color edition has already been reviewed by Shishioh! Looks amazing!! http://shishioh.info/figma_EX-036_Guyver II_F_Movie_Color_ver.php Edited November 27, 2016 by Kanji Quote
Matt Bellamy Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Looks like she has the same "Visor" issue that the Figma Guyver 1 has. Looks like another job for guyversudo! Quote
*guyversudo Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 I hope there not all bad. You can see that the paint on this one looks unfinished. I have some G1 figma's lined up to fix. I really hope they look better when we all get them shipped to us. Quote
Gazham Posted November 28, 2016 Author Posted November 28, 2016 It looks better than guyver 1 from what I see, at heart there's a small piece of the armor between the eyes on tissue one. My guyver 1 looks a bit lopsided in the face as well Quote
*guyverfan Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 good news everyone, just received shipping confirmation for my orders, i'm excited. Quote
Kanji Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 Yeah, I got my amiami invoice this morning. Nothing from nin-nin yet for the movie version though. Hoping to get these in time for xmas!! Quote
Gray5 Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Haven't received any confirmation on mine yet Quote
Gazham Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 Me neither! I'm sure it will come soon. I wonder how popular the previous preorder was. If numbers were good, we may well see more! Quote
Sully Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 We're seeing Guyver 3 next : Hopefully after him we'll get Guyver 2 and Guyver 0! 1 Quote
Gray5 Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Guyver 3 should be nice. Personally don't really care about Guyver 2. Would like to see a new character instead. Quote

Ditto to this. The BFC line covered volumes 1-10 quite nicely, but I'm keen to see more of the Zoalords introduced in the later volumes along with Aptom Omega Blast and Apollyon!!! Shizu and the Liberatus would also be sweet!! Would need multiples! 1 Quote
Gray5 Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Griselda and Libertus would be awesome. Definitely would need multiple Libertus. could do so many dioramas. Quote
lyrz Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) I am so glad to see the mega-smasher aren't painted grey this time. What they did to Guyver 1's mega-smasher was lulz. Edited November 30, 2016 by lyrz Quote
*guyversudo Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Amazing! The two I opened aside from the neck piece on the manga Guyver IIf not being pushed all the way into the body, they both look bad ass amazing. 1 Quote
Gray5 Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Damn, and I still haven't even got a shipping notification from Goodsmile yet Quote
Gray5 Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Goodsmile apparently overnighted mine after my email to them. I get to pick them up tomorrow morning 1 Quote
*guyverfan Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 got one of my orders this morning, have to admit i really think goodsmile do an excellent job. and the figures look great, well done max! the only thing i'm alittle disappointed with is that i really thought there should of been some sort of extra bonus with this figure. as when you think about it, the last G2f release was nearly 30years ago! please,please, max, release val in black lycra! hehehe. 1 Quote
Gray5 Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Would be kinda cool if they did Sho, Agito in human form. I would really like to see a Gigantic and some Zoanoids/Zoalords. Quote
Gazham Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 So I received my figures today, vat and clearance fee printed on the box came to £30. On top of the £99 I paid it totals about £130. UK based shops are selling the figures for around £116 for the pair! Does anyone else find it more expensive to preorder this way? What are the benefits to preordering / importing ourselves? Quote
Gray5 Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) My pair came to about $130 shipped to my door so about $65 each shipped. And I've seen them on US Ebay range from $65- $115 each shipped. Edited December 5, 2016 by Blue5ive Quote
Gazham Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 Not bad then. Do you pay taxes on imports? Or courier release fees? It would be worth it if I didn't have to pay it. With figure shops offering it cheaper, I'm not sure it's worth ordering from Japan. Quote
Gray5 Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 In the US we generally do not pay any taxes, duties or fees for buying small things like these from overseas. The only additional cost to the figure is if the seller charges for shipping separately and does not included it in the total price as "Shipped". The most I've paid for shipping on figures from Japan has been anywhere from $10-$25. Quote
