no3Ljm Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Arcadia's recent Ameblo post: https://ameblo.jp/arcadiaac/entry-12789279928.html As per Arcadia's post, they're aiming to release 1/7 Minmay figure this summer. Edited February 14, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote
borgified Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 You know that there's going to be very impatient collectors that are going to be like Veruca Salt right? 🙄 Quote

I REALLY WANT IT NOW! *Also, wish it's cheaper than their 3DLab Minmay figure back in 2019. Edited February 14, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote

MKT Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 The Arcadia Minmay DYRL figure looks pretty good, and thankfully they didn't push it to their 3DLab line as they did their Minmay FB2012 figure. Price wise I hope it would be under Yen 20k, not far off from the recent Megahouse 1/8 Basara / Mylene. Meanwhile, old PVC figures can still be fun.. Quote

If this vendor releases it in Summer, I may have to track this down, or take another trip out. Hopefully it is just next year, so I can take another trip. I can't make 3 in 1 year, although that would be awesome if I can go 3 times. Quote

It's the reason why I bought it. Tekering told me before how to do it but I haven't done it yet. Here's @tekering's Minmay: Edited March 19, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote

Pontus Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) I really wanted to get this, but after Mandarake said it was 6600yen shipping tacked on, I just couldn't justify the purchase sadly. Just remembered I haven't filed for my tax returns yet. Guess I better get on that since I just changed my mind. Edit: Sorry if I teased anyone by posting the link and then buying it afterall.

Slave IV Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 I got notice about some "Rick" figure is about ready to ship from Kitzconcept. They wanted a confirmation response so just a heads up to check your email if you had this figure ordered. Quote

In my case, I ordered it on 7/2021 using an old email address I rarely check, so even though I have since changed and confirmed my new email address with them, they sent the confirmation to the old email which I don't check often anymore. I would've missed it without your reminder. Edited March 27, 2023 by Pontus Quote

Yeah the shipping rates from Mandarake have been ridiculous since 2020. Bring back SAL, you jerks! Quote

I usually try to limit myself to just one of each character (already have the Kitz Hikaru in flight suit), but early and late Hikaru are a totally different person. That's my justification anyway, lol. I also have a weakness for Freyja figures for some reason... they're just so cute! This will make my third now... wait fourth, forgot about the VFG VF-31J that I stuck my figuarts on in place of the generic figure. Taxes weren't great, had to pay some federal, but state came through with a decent refund, so I'll bite the bullet. Quote

mechaninac Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 I have not received any communication from them, so I took it upon myself to reply to the original preorder confirmation email and send a message through their website. Now, after 1.5 years, to wait some more... Quote
borgified Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 Nah.. You going to wait for another 4.5 years when they finally ship it out. 😜 Quote

Never got any direct response from KC but did get a shipping/tracking email from PayPal, and it's already through ISC New York. Now to wait for the Dana Sterling to release... it's been an even longer wait (09/2020... sheesh! ). I understand that the coof threw a monkey wrench into the works; however, I don't think I'll ever place another preorder with them and sit things out until stuff is in stock; their lead times have become atrocious.

Slave IV Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 KC is the hands down master of character figures for Macross. This Hikaru is another stellar release and they handled the soft goods very well imo. Quote

I received mine as well, was pleasantly surprised with it....has it's issues, but the positives outweigh the negatives...looking forward to more of these "deluxe" figures...I think the cloth gimmick would work well with the Zentradi Characters in their officer outfits...thinking Beetai, Exsedol, Quamzin, etc....although I would still want their armor versions as "standard" editions (plastic)... Quote
Slave IV Posted April 18, 2023 Posted April 18, 2023 They already announced another version. https://www.kitzconcept.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=86 I've been all in so far on their figures but I might wait before I order this one. Quote
