If you want a advice, i simply wouldnt pre order any Play Arts Kai oder Static Arts stuff.
Wait until the actual product is released, look for some Youtube review or toy review blogs
of the actual product and then you can decide if you like it.
The risk of the product being sold out by then is actually pretty low.
Even today the Static Arts Tifa for example is still available in the Square Enix shop.
Most of these SE products, like Play Arts or Static Arts, are not limited at all.
So to minimize the risk of a bad surprise later, i would simply wait until you can see pictures or videos of the final product,
because like 90% of the pre order images of Square Enix merchandise are bs.
We already talked a couple pages ago that even the Static Arts purple dress Tifa already looked like a downgrade
when they were showing a actual physical statue at a toy convention in summer 2022.
GT is something else, you 100% want to pre order those if you are interested.
You dont really have to pre order any regular Square Enix products. Its mass produced stuff.
