One Piece Collectibles v.6

[keithgator]

Hi guys, I emailed Otacute and got this reply. I'm not very sure what I should reply them, perhaps someone could help me out? Thanks.

! Dear Keith,
! Our products are all from Japan unless we state on either item description or product name.
! May I ask are there any US version or Asian version??
If they are, could you send me a source, because it could be fake.

I think I will be getting WCF vol. 0 as my first WCF ever and see if I like what I get… Also managed to get DX Snap and DX Brotherhood, personally a little disappointed with the height but the sculpt makes up for it, it's gorgeous imo...

PS: Hope I'm not on anyone's "ignore list", really have too many potential questions to ask around here, or maybe I'm just being paranoid...

@ninth:

what did you email them about?

I asked them where they got their stocks from.

! Hi, I would like to know if stocks for P.O.Ps Nami, Trafalgar Law and Marco
the Phoenix are imported from Japan or from other countries? Thank you.

[roronoazoro]

I remember you bought shanks, didnt he come with a golder sticker. I guess that should answer your question. We better stop this, LOL

[Cyber-Robin]

Anyone know where I can get Memory of Merry Nami from? After seeing the surprisingly good quality on Robin and Chopper I kinda want Nami now to round the trio off.

Power anime has preorders for WCF

VOL.13 http://www.poweranime.com/index2.cfm?pageAction=itemDetails&itemID=43719

@Snaku..I was thinking the same thing lol

$140 for Vol. 0? Makes TL look like Walmart!

He did, but Nami came with silver. Anyway that's not the point, I was just checking because one of the proxies I know said he could only get Asia stock of POP, because of insufficient Japan stock. But isn't Japan in Asia? :ninja:

Trust me, I don't want to venture into that previous topic of discussion either lol

[MonKey-D-DroOpY]

@Dragonxpiece:

coming from TL and the fact that they accept and keep saying that "in this industry nothing is guaranteed" i dont doubt that they cancel pre orders if they dont get the items, eitherway I believe its quite too early to pre order it and we dont know what going to happen next year with the new regulations etc.

From Amiami

Notes on hobby product pre-orders in general
This is a pre-order item and will be delivered after its release. Due to the nature of the character hobby industry, the release dates, prices and specifications of this kind of items are subject to change. Release cancellation may even occur.
Additionally, sometimes a manufacturer's shipment is reduced without prior notice.
As a recognized mass retailer, we usually receive plenty of products to serve all orders.
Unfortunately, however, when the manufacturer's shipment is reduced by unforeseen happenstance, we may have to reduce or cancel orders.
Please keep these conditions in mind when ordering these pre-order items.

What they say about non guarantee happen's even with the holy trinity.(Amiami,HLJ,HOBBYSEARCH)

it truly is the nature of the business.

Edit:@bran-chan..its a generalization of the industry as a whole.

[bran-chan]

Yeah but they don't carry the WCF's and right now everyone knows they'll be limited in some kind of way.

Best looking Ace!!!!
And he's far more superior from any other ace so far.

Pff you dont even need to ask you get a very high quality figure for the price he is going for. Its the best Ace available imo.

[Spiritbird]

lol thx, i might get him then but before i do, im sure this has been asked before n im really sorry if it annoys ya but is .ibuyxyz trust worthy?

[hide]http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k361/winkboy/acesuperDXbanprestoS.jpg[/hide]

figure is nice, but obviously inferior to POPs
i didnt like some mediocre painting like the front of belt
and what pisses me off a bit is that mine's got the right arm not very well attached to the shoulder:sad:

[ReDDragon]

Hmm i think he is really not inferior to the Ace POP.

@Spiritbird:

lol thx, i might get him then but before i do, im sure this has been asked before n im really sorry if it annoys ya but is .ibuyxyz trust worthy?

its no problem its only the 10th time somebody asked , Yes ibuyxyz is trust worthy. A few people recently ordered Super DX Ace from them and as far i know everybody got him with no problems.

heh sorry i have the worst short term mem, ill forget wot happened 5 mins ago. thx for the info though might get him then. his huge though but just need 1 ace for now. so since u guys say his quite good i might just go with it

I don't think people will object to those prices considering how limited they are and with how high the prices are gouged already just for a pre-order.

By the way, you have to click Add To Cart from the search list since the listing for these just went up.

Lets see how long it takes to get sold out. I dont see Nami, i guess she is really limited.

Marco sold out in an hour.

[ReDDragon]

lol i got Zero Figuarts Blackbeard today from Amiami. Hehe his body look so weird XD
I must say the figure is better then expected overall. But i still dont feel like to collect
the whole line. He is btw almost the exact same size as the DX Warlord BB.

@kyoushirowolf:

I just wanted to know if anyone had some "personal" pictures
of it. But cool, shiny! Is shiny a good or bad thing? lol. I ordered
it a few days ago from CD Japan, used my Points from there worth $6,
and the total came out to $20 and that's including shipping.

Thank you, you gave me the opportunity to try out my new camera :)

! The music is from the game Half Minute Hero (PSP).
It's an awesome game and its intro is epic.

Spiritbird > Super DX Ace is the best Ace figure ever. It's gorgeous, it has no stand, Ace's face is exactly how it should be (extremely rare), it's 26 cm tall…
It's my favorite Ace ever. In my opinion, it's a must have.

[Snow]

@coopz182:

Yeah I saw thanks :) Also thanks as linking me to that site made me decide to search for other small sites and I may have found a couple of good ones with some harder to find WCF's in stock which would be awesome!

Glad to be of help. That's great. I hope they don't require a tax code. That really blew me away.

Banpresto's DX Shichibukai Teach looks so much better ReD.

[xinyingho]

The whiner is back ! Thanks for your support :)
The last pages were really more informative than the 100 pages before, ppl helping each others instead of long messages where ppl are tellling how pissed they are, that's really what I like about this community.

As a reply about if I think I'm an elite: of course not, I mean I don't produce any collectibles related to OP, it's just that lately the "atmosphere" in the thread was really just about stressed ppl pouring all their hate on Japanese producers.

So to complete was crease said about Megahouse limiting oversea sells, I think it's actually a general move from all Japanese producers. some ppl should remember that Shueisha put a message in their Jump magazines as a call for Japanese fans to stop any illegal activities like uploading scans/videos of Jump series. Well, the current move of figure producers is a direct translation from this original call: they're trying to develop an official distribution network towards the West, but it takes time and in between, some stuff can become less available for the West audience.

It can be really frustrating but I think that Japanese companies have understood the potential of the West markets and won't just be focused on their domestic market anymore (big successes in France, Italy and Brazil before, now in the US too). But then the only problem is what Banpresto prize items will become ? There is no equivalent in the West for Japanese game centers and all their UFO catchers…

[Snow]

Yeah Xinyingho! Welcome back. Glad you made it back. Great info btw.

That does sound pretty bad but that could also mean they may make more to service outside markets. It just makes sense ( my 2cents from Marketing 101). It'll just be harder to attain maybe.

I have to say that i like the Bandai version Better. And i really do not think his body is weird. I think the Dx shibukai´s and P.O.P BB body looks wrong.

Its all resin…that guy also have a Akainu one...everyting about one piece..xD

Well and about Blackbeard...cannot compare those Bandai figs with the DX one...ridiculous...but its taste..some guys have a bad one some guys a good one..xDDDD

[Xajen]

I've been meaning to find a resin custom to buy. I heard there was an Itachi one(I know it isn't OP but whatever) that I was considering but I think I'd like to see a Roger resin or final outfit Goku most of all.

Does this young gunners guy have a site?

Goku U can find alot! Roger only one til now but u can find it too he is not that rare! So far…my opinion? Resin statues are the best ever...no other figs can mess with those resin figs! Got some nice ones...My masterpieces are WB and Kizaru...had alot other but those two are just amazing! Only want and need a Akainu resin..xD

He also had Kizaru. :>
Unfortunately pictures are offline. But I still assume he isn't the only sculptor there. Since some of the figures that account sold, looks pretty much crappy. Like that Whitebeard + Gold Roger one.

Anyway it was sold for around 500$. Well, no comment…you will see the difference between the quality yourself.

Nope, he doesn't.
Itachi isn't that rare so you'll find him pretty easy. There's one on ebay for 60 bucks.
