It is that date, this is right out of the email.

Shipment from (Tue) June 16, 2015
figma Solid Snake: MGS2 ver.

 

[Kiva]

Cool man thanks for the info!

When is it supposedly being released there or are you not savvy to that

June 13th apparently. It seems odd as it will be a saturday but its the date they have gave. I'll be popping online here and there to refresh until they are available

(if you ever do use them theres like 8 postage methods, choose the cheapest airmail with no tracking. That way you can get around the taxes and it will still arrive in a week or so )

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Must be fate then

Will do Kiva thanks again, if by any change they send you a shipping notice drop me a pm and I'll keep hitting up the site

 

[Kiva]

[Snake Plissken]

Yes! Plan on displaying it with the hf murasama blade that comes with the original Gecco raiden.

*Thanks to Jason for the suggestion

 

[Frank Jaeger]

[WellCQCaboutthat]

I'm gonna be the cheapest of the cheap and use a black bin bag corner X-D

 

[Kiva]

As far as i can tell it has no swap-out hand. It still has swap-out visors though.

Some nice hi-def pics here - Raiden White Armor Statue by Gecco Corp. [Metal Gear Solid]

Its kinda cool it is a fully fledged Ground zeroes Raiden with the camp Omega base, cassette player and RPG.

If they released a HT Raiden with that paint job id be all over it though.

I thought about doing that. I might pick up two more, one for that and one for the box.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

i bet his hand comes off to pack him in the box. im hoping that the gun can be worked out of his hand to put a sword in it. thatd be cool. they should just include an extra sword hand so that if you have the regular you can use those items in it.

Can anyone tell me if they got a payment confirmation from Goodsmile or the order status is still pending? Im wondering if mine will take longer because i had to pay manually

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

im pretty sure i did. looked in my email. i got one from them and paypal. definitely did.

I had to as well and got a confirmation shortly after.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

Yeah Solid, Fox and Meryl all £50.

What blows my mind is they overprice characters that aren't vital or supposed 'main' to collections. like i said in my earlier post £85 for TTP Snake but £109 for Volgin?

I got Fox and Snake each for £45, if i had known i would have bought 4 of each lol. You'd think they'd make more due to the popularity, it makes no sense to me. But these prices are beyond ridiculous, and like you said, especially for characters people are luke warm about.

Use Nippon-Yasan if you want burning man. It's £49ish + about £10 postage ( they always mark items as low value too. I use them frequently. Ill be getting Figma Solid Snake too as thats just over £30 + postage)

Nippon-Yasan is a great site for importing and prices. Only thing to note is that once an item is released they sell in batches, then raise the price a little. Sell a new batch. So you need to be on the ball and get items when they are in stock as early as possible.

Thanks for that advice Kiva! Most places don't mark down anything. The UK is very annoying for acquiring collectables. Im getting much more custom hits than ever now. And I've yet to use Nippon

im pretty sure i did. looked in my email. i got one from them and paypal. definitely did.

Thanks guys. I just got that confimation now. Hopefully we get em through early next week. With no dirty dirty customs charges! (also lets hope the quality is better than those most recent images )

The notice I got was payment confirmation, and it says packing slip created.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Had i known they were going to double the retail price in 2-3 years i would have too!

To think i was having a hard time coughing up £125 for the Red Ninja at the time too, seems like a steal now
