What are you selling the Smoker POP for? I be interested =B
@sephirona:
Mine are actually very solid and don't bend or squish at all, if that's what you mean by rubbery. But what did bother me was the mistakes made with some of the paint job - the colors are fine, but the figure has more paint outside of the "lines" than I thought it should. The stand is a transparent black as opposed to a solid black, as well. :/ I'm relatively sure it's bootlegged now, and would rather like to eviscerate the man who sold this to me.
Is Hachioji a reputable seller of original/re-release figures? :D In that case, I might go place an order with them later. I've been looking for this Lucci for years, and it broke my heart to think I bought a fake one ;-;
I hope they come out with a larger Kaku figure soon too. It wouldn't make sense not to, since Kaku scored higher than Lucci in the popularity charts. I wish I could buy some of those "big-headed" versions of the CP9, though. @_@ I want that stubby Lucci with his Sea-Train cloak. And a stubby Galley-La Lucci that I can't find anywhere. Curse my slowness with pre-ordering. asfdf
Also, about how long should it take for me to receive my purchases from Hachioji if they ship to New York? I'm debating whether or not to order something now or wait two months. (I'll be out of state in about two weeks ;-;)
Oh yeah, not all of the bootlegs are rubbery (Ace isn't, pfft DX) but the paint job is a pretty good sign. The official ones I got are really crisp. Also noticed the bootlegs have some really shiny shiny paint on them, which really highlights the lack of detail =_=
When I ordered some bigheads from them, it took about 2 weeks to get here. I just ordered something from them last week and it's already left the sort facility in NY (so you will probably get your item a lot faster, if it is sent and processed at the NY facility) and on it's way here, and should be here tomorrow or Thursday at the latest most likely. So thats like… 8-9 days from when I ordered it I believe. They've been shipping the day after I order.
It was discussed a while back, here is hoping Plex will do a release of all the bigheads so far, and that there will be a new W7/CP9 group. I was able to get the CP9 set for a decent price (it looks like they're sold out now) but the couple of places I've found the W7 set/Franky set they've wanted firstborns for it.
Well actually, I just found the Franky set that's under $100 but still, $82 for a set of bigheads..... eh. It's taking all my willpower not to buy them but argh @_@ too expensive!
They're probably not going to make a Kaku figure unless he happens to come back in the series, which anything is possible with Oda XD
