In HLJ private warehouse and DHL shipping paid for.

 

Same, but trying out Fedex to see how it goes with that method of shipping.

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Waiting payment request from AmiAmi!!!

[Arthurius]

Well, only been waiting for 15+ years for this moment...  to finally own the Fuke/Rook ride armor, and kinda getting excited. 

This will probably be my last "super expensive" (over 200USD), and apparently from some of the comments over priced, collectible i ever add to my collection (well, 2022 at least...).  Only other toy i own from this company is their Iron Giant, which i LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Cdjapan order says its in shipping process...excited!

Mine is my private warehouse.  I’ll most likely ship it with everything else in November.

Technically, Houquet is well below US$200 at the moment.

Saw that Amazon Japan already charged my card.

Yes!! Same here!! Total of $173 with DHL to USA for me. Can't wait to get it!!!

[Mog]

Do I get a prize if I have a lower price than anyone else?

[Snake Eyes]

holy hell... thats cheap. (well, cheaper than BBTS :P)
but I guess the DHL charge would be pretty high to ship to me

 

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

It's gonna be rad to finally get a large scale Houquet! Mine awaits at ye olde private warehouse.

amazon.co.jp shipped mine. it came up to $170 US shipped via DHL. Seems the USD > Yen exchange is very favorable again

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

Hmmm. Ok, maybe I'll keep the helmet on for Houquet..

She has Superman's CGI upper lip from Justice League.

Hey guys! I finally got a resin 3D printer.

And I have many models to print.

Since the arrival of the Tread is imminent, I have decided to start with this:

the secondary weapon of the famous image of the Tread and Legioss.

The project is in the prototype phase and some pieces were printed wrong and I did not include them in the photo (beginner 😁),

what do you think? should I shorten the barrels?

 

Thank you!

[no3Ljm]

Looks gorgeous... with helmet ofcourse!  

See, now Fuke is the only one sitting on the bike properly. I wonder what are they planning to clip on the arm armors?

[no3Ljm]

More photos from Twitter. They mention that some of the frame is thin so be careful on transforming them. Also, it looks like she's a tad glossy than the others.

 

What do you think? I think Fuke's not happy.

It's the weakest facesculpt of the four characters. 

 

[Mog]

Kinda wish she was a darker red, but at least it’s not hot pink.

Also, it looks like Sentinel stuck with strawberry blonde from the prototype, instead of full-on yellow blonde as in most depictions.

[Duymon]

welp it's a good thing the stock visor is opaque 😕

And do i get a prize for paying more than everyone else here?

Damn, i paid 186 USD shipped to Canada from HLJ...  and that is using Fedex, not even DHL...  argg, i dont know why i POed from HLJ all those month ago, maybe easier to cancel, cant remember, but oh well.

[Arthurius]

I am ok with the face with helm, but the one without looks like they took one of the other existing heads from the other riders and just added blonde hair...

 

The test shot look more pristine then the final product.  Hopefully just the camera / lighting....

totally agree here.  i hope its the lighting in the pictures.  definitely would have liked it to be the same or at least similar red to the legioss

[lavinrac]

When I get mine I’m going to take a picture of the face and then Photoshop it so that the eyes are moved down slightly. It’s possible that will make her look right. Right now she looks like an older woman like by 10 years. Also depending on the size of the eyes they may be able to be replaced by those decal eyes you can get. I wonder…

[Big s]

Glad I skipped it. The pumpkin head visor thing has always bugged me on these and the helmet off face is just horrific. All that mixed with the raspberry sherbet color is just not worth it

[Mog]

It’s not that hard to get rid of the HUD lines on the visor.

I’ve done it for all three of the ones I currently have.

The question though is whether to keep the visor purple or dye it blue?

I’ll probably sound like a broken record, but if I have to pay that much for a toy, I really don’t want to put in all the work of modifying it. And this particular release would require modifications for the helmet, face and repainting. It’s just not worth it for me. I’ll wait and see if they make her for those little beaver ones, but so far it doesn’t seem like it

Maybe you were not using your Creditcards own international currency conversion ?  . which will be about 3-4% more.

ok. I think I know why you are paying more,   maybe you preordered late so you missed the early preorder discount.?

I just did a estimate of the current 20,000 yen price at HLJ to ship to Canada and its very close to your prices

Definitely gonna have to wait to have the figure in hand before we can really judge the color.

Pics viewed from my laptop look too pinkish, while those SAME pics viewed on my phone look a little more red.

🤷‍♂️

The prototype pics were definitely a darker red too. 

If only they had gone with a lighter blue for Yellow and a darker red for Houquet.

But again, let's wait and see.
