I have relationships with the studios in China, YZ, G-5, and BBF. I deal with them directly via Taobao– usually at like 3AM my time in the US. It's a bit complicated since I have to use Google translate and talk to them in Chinese, but it's been working great for me. There's 3 steps to ordering customs.
1. Pre-Order (Prototype images and full price are revealed) - Down payment of typically 10-30% on the figure.
2. Full payment (Months down the line when the molds are complete, painted, and ready to ship) - Rest of what's owed.
3. Shipping (Communicating with the warehouse in China to ship overseas) - Usually 10-15 for just a small WCF, 20-40 for MEGA versions. Pandemic has made shipping a bit more expensive.I'm in a facebook group called Resin WCF Collectors. The members are mostly Thai, but they post information frequently. Sometimes even before the studios release the prototypes officially. I've been planning to open an online store for English speaking WCF fans to get the customs. Act as an agent, deal with the late night communications, etc. If anyone is interested in something like that, let me know.
I’m interested. I can’t imagine there aren’t loads more fans who would be.

The new POP Miss All Sunday looks great, other than the pose, which doesn’t make any sense to me. It looks like her knees are giving out and she’s collapsing or falling over or something. Does anyone understand MegaHouse’s intent with her better than me? [emoji28]
