Jiu An Studio x Virus Studio 1/6 scale : Samurai of the End of the Shogunate 末幕

[Stanlore]

The last update i remember was they showed this at i think Shanghai toy fair.
Pieces of the armor and an unpainted revised and updated headsculpt which didn't seem to look as good as the prototype.

I didn't know that
Do you happen to have some pics of that??

i pre-ordered a long time ago but now I have the feeling that it's not going to be released this year either

i was actually looking for it yesterday and couldn't find it. Surprise surprise... someone added a comment to the post on facebook and it magically popped into my feed.

To be clear this head sculpt was for the show only, it was meant for people who where there to touch and check it out. The real sculpt will be way better.

Thought I update so the figure atm will be postponed until April-May 2022 due to the team going into their spring festival they also wish to make some fixes/changes it needs before being complete. But here are some images of the sculpted hair version to give an idea how it's going. Courtesy from Charles Lim on the Virus studios page on Facebook.

Nice, I will wait in hand pictures though

Is this still up for pre-order anywhere? Might be a decent fallback option for those of us who missed the Poptoys version.

it's sold out everywhere. a very limited number will be produced. Looks great to me, and worth the wait

 

[RandomHero]

Damn, missed another Algren. Wish I knew about these figures sooner haha

This is more of a custom piece rather then a mass production figure. The last thing I heard was that they needed to go back and redo the armor paint as it chipped or wasn't staying on properly.

You're right, Charles posted an update with this photos, so i hope July will be the last delay

Edit:
First Proto VS December Update, do you think is it the same sculpt?

Looks like the same sculpt to me. He noted in his post that the paint isn't final in the latest photo.

Not really a fan of the eyes on the new sculpt, at least from the mass production photo
Also the skin tone looks different

Yep, it's maybe the lighting but for me there is a downgrade compare to the proto

 

[OkinawaHai!]

Man...I have been waiting for this figure for a long time. Placed my preorder over a year ago, or maybe it was two? Its July, I hate to be inpatient but is this figure on track to be released this month? Thanks!

 

[draftman12]

Based on these photos, that Headsculpt looks like a downgrade, that was one if the reasons I pre ordered in the first place. Now I’ll have to wait for in hand pictures to decide which one to keep. Pop toys or this one. It’s been 2 long years

 

[Spiln3r]

We are Middle of July, and still no news

I actually had totally forgotten about this piece. I checked and it's been over 2 yrs (May '20) since I PO'd from KGH. I've gone ahead and canceled mine as I'm happy with my current version.
