So let's keep this going! Put up some pages that have been asked for but what else can we dig up?
I tried to consolidate all the relevant stuff from last thread so it could be found easily.
Added some compiled galleries as well.

>>6142946
Y'know, initially I kinda passed over there, but now that I think about it they could be kinda neat accessories for figures. Their listing shows some good pics for judging size, but I wonder exactly how well they scale with 1/12. I can't remember exactly how big they're supposed to be in game but it seems about right.

There's a couple of photo's in the OP's imgur of her next to a Figuarts and VAH figure, but i'll have a go at making more in a sec.

>>6143788
I don't have any Marvel Selects, sorry, but from what i've seen around here they might actually scale well with her.

>>6143798
Joints actually seem pretty fine. Knees are double jointed but waist is very basic and kinda limiting, shoulders as well and elbows are single jointed so they don't give that much range of movement.

Hip, knee, feet, shoulder and elbow are relatively loose but not exactly slippery, if you know what i mean, they can still hold a pose and luckily her guns are light enough to not pull them down. Still though, they don't feel like they're going to crumble or anything, the joints themselves are pretty much just black figma joints.

Here's a booty for you.

The face is actually one of the most impressive things, to me. The eyes are on there just fine and looking straight ahead and lipstick is actually on the lips, something even Figma buggers up sometimes. However i will say that the masked version face that i got has a slightly askew lipstick.

In general the tampo details on this figure have been pretty impressive, it's the paint on the rest of the figure that's lacking.

That's actually a great idea, though i've already thrown away the bubble case for this. And i guess i also have no idea how to even make a video, and if i did it would reveal my autistic way of speaking.

I dunno, i'll give it a think. I might try and get it done on Australia day if no one gets theirs before then and does it instead (so Wednesday in burgerland).

Shit, that stock is huge. That's not bad though, as long as she's got the elbows and shoulders to actually do it, I'm down.

If you've got a smartphone and a tripod, you're halfway there. And no lie, some of the best reviews are from japanese guys who don't actually say anything, just run through the articulation and show some poses at the end.

A shame about the size since ideally I'd like put her in my Figma collection, but can you post a picture of her with a modern Marvel Legends figure or something similar?

A lot of modern MLs are bordering that 7" mark so I'm just wondering how big she looks compared to some Western figures.

Pops are relatively cheap to produce since there are no complicated moving parts, they're sold goddamn EVERYWHERE now, and there is a huge existing fanbase for them. Plus, even normies collect them. Thus, it's a very safe choice for most companies.

I could see Funko doing decent sculpts in that legendary collection line of theirs, but they'd be bogged down by godawful QC and mediocre articulation. Personally, I feel like some of these characters would work really well as Revoltechs - Lucio, Reaper, McCree, Junkrat, I feel like they'd all mesh with the whole crazy-action-poses Yamaguchi sculpts.

>I have played thousands of hours of TF2, admined a server, played essentially since the game came out.
>Overwatch is better.
You're probably just burnt out on TF2 and moved on. It happens.

I've barely played TF2 since I got Overwatch, but the latter is a hugely flawed game. The maps suck and the characters aren't balanced worth a flip. It's fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not nearly as refined as TF2. Yet. But this is a Blizzard game, so it may never be.

>He'll its better if only because it doesn't have all of the micro trans, F2P, economy bull shit.
It does have microtransactions, though, and in a game you already paid for. Trading isn't a thing because Blizzard wants you to burn through their loot box bundles to get what you want rather than let you trade things around without putting cash into their pockets.

Yes you can buy boxes, except Overwatch basically showers you with plenty of free boxes, so its really not necessary.

This kinda proves a point I have, though. That people only buy funko pops out of a compulsion to own merchandise of their favorite property. There's pretty much zero substance to them as toys, they're essentially three-dimensional trading cards.

No one should have to settle for that. If I collected pops I wouldn't feel like I do when I collect poseable figures. I'd just put the Pop on a shelf and that would be the end of the story and that's just sad.
>>
>>6150398
what are you getting at here? People collect merchandise of their favorite media that isn't toys to begin with. How is a pop different than a poster, or a t-shirt, or even a keychain?
>>
>>6150403
Shirts are useful items of daily wear.
Keychains are semi-useful, they make a set of keys easier to notice and handle.
Posters, like pops, are decorative items but I'd argue they're better at decorating since they occupy more space and don't require furniture to display.

For a lot of people poseable action figures are nothing but shelf decoration but they don't have to be only that. They can be posed, photographed interestingly, have dioramas made and accessories collected for them to add additional fun. The pop... just sits on a shelf. Often inside its original box.
>>
>>6150429
I seriously think you just care too much, it's a desk bauble, don't get upset people like them enough to put them on display somewhere.

But, regardless of how you feel about Pops and other bare-bones type merch and how much value they have to you, if it's of something people want and nothing else is readily available, they're gonna buy the Pop every time. They're basically just normie fodder, really.
Personally, I don't mind Pops, even got a few as gifts (Giant Man is pretty neat), but I don't see the allure that most, presumably "casual", people do.
>>
>>6150461
I think the allure is that all toys are seen as just decorative trinkets by most people after a certain age. Why buy something big and expensive when a pop literally the same thing to you?
>>
>>6150465
Because it looks much better?
It is decorative after all.

Just received my widowmaker
like the one guy said, the joints are on the loose side, but not completely floppy, they can hold a pose fine. the paint for mine is fucking on point, especially the face, the QC seems really good there.

Would have like a little more range of motion on the elbows, but they do fine, mainly surprised how much range there is on the knees.

In certain positions the ass tech looks great, in other positions it looks pretty bad. Not Fraulein yoko bad, but the gap in the thighs is very obvious at times

Wide stanced she's pretty alright, and if you're fine with her feet being just a little off kilter then she can get a surprisingly stable stance.

With her feet very close together though she can't get a very good or natural pose.

If the D.va Pop is removable then I can see really liking the actual mech by just putting other figures in it, otherwise, bleh pops

>>6149216
>It's fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not nearly as refined as TF2.
Current TF2 is a horribly unrefined mess of halfassed ideas, unbalanced weapons and a dev team that clearly doesn't give a fuck anymore.
I will give you that most of the OW maps aren't that great, but they are slowly getting better and the dev team actually gives a fuck.
>>
>>6153458
Fucking hell..my order was canceled because it was out of stock but that stupid because I made a preorder when it was still a white prototype. Fucking stupid...the agent Im using sucks. What agent did you use? I used TaobaoFOCUS agent.

Thanks for the laugh

>>
>>6153458
What's the process for getting one of these? I want a D.Va when it comes out for sure.
>>
>>6153987
>>6154039
I used Taobaoring. First time i ever actually used them or bought anything from taobao in the first place, but i have to say it all went pretty damn smoothly and fine.

I'm debating if i should get their D.Va and Tracer figures or the D.va mech. I honestly can't play Tracer for the life of me and the D.va figure would be just the wrong scale for the mech. The mech on the other hand looks gorgeous and is the perfect scale for everything else i collect.
>>
>>6154094
I'm glad Overwatch is getting decent figures, but it isn't representative of the gameplay quality. It just means it has good designs and waifu-bait.
>>
is there a link out for Tracer yet, or are we still in the early prototype stage?
>>
>>6154174
I think it's just early protos so far.
>>
Having just started playing Overwatch, I finally see what all the fuss is about. Figma D.Va with Figma+ Meka when?
>>
>>6154815
I kinda doubt that Blizzard will even give the license to them, and even then I very doubt there would be a Meka to go with her.

Most likely thing is NECA getting the license.
>>
>>6154820
Well Blizzard let Figma do some DoTA figures before, so it's not entirely impossible.

>>6154825
DOTA is Valve IIRC.
>>
>>6154828
NECA probably WILL get the license since they have the license for Heroes of the Storm.

Which, honestly, their figures aren't bad in the HoTS line. Shit joints, decent everything else.

But I want a japanese company to do the Overwatch characters.
>>
>>6154815
I say try the chinese meka. The chances of D.va from any company scare me. Even if they did D.va, GSC wouldn't do her meka unless it was guaranteed to sell. Likewise, NECA usually waits to do deluxe characters until the line is a proven seller.

At least if you get the chinese meka you'll be set if they ever do release a D.va figure on her own. Hell, I'd be happy if the same chinese guys made a laying down statue of her to fit into the meka.
>>
>>6153683
the only pops that will fit in there are the titanfall pops
>>
>>6155149
You know, assuming we got a D.Va Figma, I wouldn't mind if they gave us a to-scale Meka in model kit form. Granted I'm biased as I love building models, but it'd still be cheaper than a pre-built figure, better than if NECA got their gummy mitts on the license, and in the hands of a skilled modeler it could look amazing.
>>
>>6155149

NECA HotS Not Bad

Man, my fucking Nova's leg broke removing her from the package.
>>
Since no one else wants to do it I really hope these guys makes a full 7 inch line of poseable figures like the Widowmaker. I need Reinhardt
>>
>>6155149
>>6155638
While I wouldn't mind OW figmas only problem is that they would probably only do the female characters and maybe genji.

SHF would be really nice too, but then about half the cast would just be web exlusives
>>
>>6157692
you're right
>>
>>6157692

There would also never be a DVA Mech since neither company seems to really do "vehicles" much. And definitely no one large like Reinhardt or Roadhog.

You can definitly shove a figma in there, I dont have any on hand thatll fit though.

Some new and pretty interesting news.

Activision is forming a new "Collectibles" branch, this may be exactly why we havent seen anything else by NECA or anyone really. Looks like they want to take this stuff into their own hands maybe.

>Activision Blizzard announced today that it has formed a new division outside of gaming. The company didn't share any specifics, but the Consumer Products unit will likely oversee things like toys and collectibles. Heading up the new division as its president and CEO is Tim Kilpin, who previously worked on at toy giant Mattel and entertainment behemoth Disney.


>"Inspiring play, competition, and community underpins everything we do, and giving audiences new ways to experience our franchises is core to this commitment," Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick said in a statement. "Under Tim's leadership, we will elevate our consumer product offerings to the same level of exceptional quality as our games and transform the ways audiences connect with the characters they love in their everyday lives."

>The Consumer Products division's directive is to "expand and deepen audience engagement with Activision Blizzard's iconic franchises through long-term retail partnerships, high-quality products, and all new consumer experiences."

>Activision Blizzard is the biggest publisher in gaming. Some of its franchises include Call of Duty, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Destiny, and Diablo. There are of course already toys and other collectibles that exist for these franchises, but the new Consumer Products division further unifies those efforts.

I hope we get 1/12 versions of those gianf Overwatch figures they showed off at conventions. A 1/12 Overwatch line would be great.

Also, I kinda hope COD gets a 1/12 figure line from this too so I can use them as generic army builders.

Holy crap this looks awesome. I just hope the QC is good- unlicensed companies are a crapshoot, they're either absolutely superb or utter shite.

Incidentally, what's the best way for a Britfag to buy this? Taobao? I know you need a proxy service for Taobao, is it relatively straightforward to use? Will I get hit by customs or are Chinese sellers bro enough to undervalue? Complete newfag to buying from China, excuse my incompetence.

I just tried putting in a reservation myself using Taobao's built in shipping service, Consolidated Courier or whatever.

According to this guide:
http://jfashionshopper.livejournal.com/2280.html

There should be a new listing showing up with 尾款 instead of 订金 which will indicate stuff is ready to be shipped and you need to pay for your order.

I've bought stuff through Taobao before but by talking directly to the seller who agreed to ship things to me directly since Taobao consolidated shipping didn't ship to my address at the time and it went smoothly then. Will have to see how it goes this time. I'll let you know how it goes.
>>
>>6162421
So wait, is this a preorder?
>>
>>6161054
Looks like there are some other things that people have missed out on in regards to the smaller D.VA. Namely the chibi figures are made to fit in it, the cockpit is removable to put figures in it, and it's roughly figma sized, whereas the big d.va is 1/10 scale.

Really at this point it's up to preference of whether you want a smaller display MEKA that can fit your figmas or a larger more articulated one.
>>
>>6162440
The current listing is a deposit that reserves a spot for you when they finally release the thing. Without reserving, you can't buy it. At least not til they open it up to the rest of the buyers like they have with the widowmaker figure.
>>
>>6162451
Some more articulation info.

So are these being sold unpainted? Because the D.Va has a price, and all the pics are just the grey model.
>>
>>6169198
nope

Does anyone want the DVA mecha figure for cheap? I'm not too impressed with and more than willing to part with it for cheap.

How much do you want? Are you in Europe?

Bastion is up for PO
http://www.tf-direct.com/dx9-toys-dx9-k1-freeman_p1634.html
2nd Quarter 2017 for release apparently
>>
>>6171017
>http://www.tf-direct.com/dx9-toys-dx9-k1-freeman_p1634.html

oh he's an expensive boy
>>
>>6171017
Jesus christ.
>>
>>6171017
That's rough, but sort of in line with a lot of third party stuff of that size. I'm tentatively still onboard, but I'm 100% waiting on reviews to see how they handle the partsforming. Also I'm not thrilled at having to buy from tf direct or something even more convoluted.
>>
>>6171017
So I'm not a transformers collector; Is the quality from this company usually good? Are this site's descriptions usually accurate? Like can I trust that he'll be 7.3" like it says? And will the final product be painted?

Price is a bit hefty and I've never purchased from this site, but I'm thinking it might be worth it. If we ever get Overwatch toys I have the feeling Bastion won't be a high priority.
>>
>>6171069

>will the final product be painted

it's a prototype. of course it'll be painted.
DX9 does decent shit but their aesthetics for their transformers are typically hit and miss. This looks spot on to the source material.

Give it a bit, other sites might carry it.
>>
>>6171017

Hmm that's pricey but doable. I may have to go for that. Looks like it's a $10 deposit for pre order?
>>
>>6171244

TFsource has it. other retailers will probably get it, too.
>>
>>6169233
If that other guy doesn't buy it, email me.
>>
>>6171017
Eh, with how fucked Japanese figure prices are these days, even a hypothetical SRC Bastion would probably be in the $100 range. $125 for a transforming one with diecast parts made by a small company seems pretty solid. That being said, I'll probably wait 'til we see in-hand images before committing.
>>
Just got the request for the D.va figure, turns out the thing is even more expensive than Widowmaker was and it's a pre-order for April.

I dunno if it's even worth it, as far as i've seen she just has one face, smaller weapons and less hands than the first release.
>>
>>6171625
So dva can be nerfed
>>
>>6171625
I got the request too and just paid.
Isn't she more expensive because she's coming with her Meka?
>>
>>6171726
Was she? I thought that was something separate.

If so then actually that's a huge bargain really.
>>
>>6171625
She's been shown with multiple hands and faces

also comes with a small bunny iirc
>>
>>6171731
It doesn't seem to be separate, and if you check the listing for her the seller added extra photos. She has heart hands for her emote, she's coming with a little bunny plush, I think she's got three faces (?) and the last picture uploaded has her in her Meka.
>>
>>6171733
>>6171735
There's also this image just above the meka, not helpful that only 'warning' is in english

I figure it might have something to do with the mech but idk
>>
>>6171740
I wish I could read that. Fuck my unintelligent ass.
She's bigger than a figma, going off of the Widow pics, and comes with more accessories than Widow so even if she didn't come with her Meka I cannot complain. This is more than Blizzard would ever give us in terms of a toy unless by some grace of god they offered the license to Bandai, which will never happen.
>>
>>6167702
I hope they do make a Reaper figure that's not a statue. China already has loads of cutesy Reaper stuff, some plushes, slippers, a purse, pillows....I've gotten a few of the plushes, they're very soft and of decent quality.
>>
>>6171740

Man if she has her Meka I definitely need that.

Need to learn some Chinese.
>>
>>6171740
>>6171906

Chinese friend translated it:

important news: the full version of Dva is coming soon, plus the mecha matching her is coming soon too

Take it how you will.
>>
>>6171017
Is there a way to pay for this without paypal or another site hosting it. Not making a paypal account.
>>
Middle man just got back to me after the New Year. Says the seller no longer has the Dva Mech, health packs or mini Dva in stock. So fuck me, I guess?
>>
>>6172139
This is why you cut out the middleman and do it yourself.

My d.va is in the consolidated shipping warehouse, now waiting on a widowmaker and something else.
>>
>>6171740
Where do I put an order in?
>>
>>6172139
just get it on ebay or wait for the new one
>>
>>6148610
Sad truth
>>
>>6171746
Sorry to bother you with this, but do you have any photos of the plushies you got?
>>
>>6173122
I'll take some pics tonight when I get home.
>>
>>6171017
before everyone says hes too expensive can i just say that in my country hes about $178.
and that also the figma Gurlukovich Solider and nendoroid venom snake are the same price each
>>
>>6174476
why is that gurlukovoch soldier so much money, anyway? in theory i really want him, but not for 70 USD.

as for bastion though, i think that's not at all a bad price. it is expensive, but the quality certainly seems enough to justify it.
>>
>>6174487
>as for bastion though, i think that's not at all a bad price. it is expensive, but the quality certainly seems enough to justify

Like with all third party transforming stuff, I'm thinking wait and see is the way to go. He looks good and DX9 has a good enough track record, but better companies than them have had promising stuff go south right before release. I'm hopeful, but I'd rather take my chances and try get one after reviews are out than drop a $140~ preorder on a potential turd.
>>
>>6171947
I figured it out. Just need to pay from the order and not from the cart.
>>
Does anyone know if these are limited or whatnot?

I want to buy everyone together.
>>
>>6174626
They're limited and exclusive. You missed the window to buy them.
>>
>>6174487
>why is that gurlukovoch soldier so much money, anyway?
I dunno, nothing really special about it. Just another victim of the rising cost of Figmas I suppose. It's kind of infuriating because I definitely would have army built that mold...

Just FYI, there ARE Gurlukovich Soldier bootlegs, but the durability may be iffy and the camo print looks sloppy and horrible.
>>
do you people buy home made bootlegs?
you know like the stuff people form deviant art make and such

Like, unnofficial charms and shit from artists? Yeah. None of them make figures for sale though, but I've gotten a bunch of keychains from various franchises, art zines, one artist was able to afford a Chinese factory to make limited Reaper owl plushes...
Most of these people are on Tumblr and selling on Etsy, Society6 and Storenvy now. DA is outta style.

I'm gonna assume tracer is coming next after D.VA?
>>
>>6175692
Yeh, there's already a prototype.
>>
>>6175716

I don't need Widow and I'm waiting to see why DVA comes out best but man this needs to be an immediate pre order because Tracer is the best hero.

That face seems a little dodgy though.
>>
>>6175740
yea, what's going on with tracer. I remember the statue having the same issue.

okay, im still kinda confused on how to use taobao and taobaoring but i really want that tracer, holy shit

Here we go. Moment of truth.

Here's what it all cost plus shipping, assuming the shipping of each is proportional to their weight:
D.VA + Meka - 39.10 USD + 20.22 USD shipping
Widowmaker - 55.76 USD + 5.21 USD shipping

Overall, you save maybe 20 dollars on that D.VA compared to that ebay listing by making a little effort and learning how Taobao Consolidated Shipping works, and there're tons of blogs and stuff out there to help you learn how like such:
http://www.howtotao.com/

So you really have no excuse not to use Taobao yourself for this if you're in a country that Consolidated Shipping has service to unless you have more money than you have sense.

That said, I'll have to see if the package actually gets here, so there's that.

All I want is a Zenyatta and Reaper. Is that too much to ask?

>>6176540
The iris shall embrace us someday.
>>
>>6176161
I'm retarded. I read the site and I'm still not sure how I'd buy the D.va and Meka mech. Do they take my money and buy it for me?
>>
>>6176161
Just got the tracking info for the last leg of the trip. Might be here next week at the earliest.

>>6177860

On another note can someone link a non mobile version of the articulated D.V.A. link? One of my co-workers is a certified Chinese to English Translator and has offered to help translate shit regarding this.

Post the listing you ordered from. There should be a "Estimated to ship out X" subtitle or whatever in the listing from the original seller.

Are you ordering stuff yourself or are you going through a middleman? Cause if you're going through a middleman, I can't help you with that.

Here's a link to the smaller D.Va store entry I bought from:
https://world.taobao.com/item/544107939489.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a1z09.8149145.0.0.1rfreX&_u=c2u36kv1fe18

This seller has free shipping to the Taobao consolidated warehouse, so that's a plus.

If you're buying things through Taobao yourself and not through an agent, there are a few more steps involved buying from Taobao than say... Amazon, so that's what you might be running into trouble with. Taobao requires that you keep on top of your order, you can't just buy and forget. You'll only end up incurring more charges that way if you go above the 20 day warehouse policy.

First, you put in the order and pay the seller, choosing Taobao consolidated shipping and the consolidated shipping warehouse you want to use. They all ship to the US or other countries via various means depending on which, so choose to your preference of shipping method. The default choice goes to JCEX warehouse which ships via UPS, for example.

Once the item you ordered arrives at the warehouse, the button on your logistics tab will change to show "pay for trans" or whatever. Clicking that button will take you to the warehouse screen that lets you tick off what items you want shipped.

Once you're done with that and you pay for your shipping method, the warehouse ties everything together and ships it out via the shipping method they use. It's this trip that gets the items to your house.

Essentially, there are two legs to the journey that you need to initiate yourself. Seriously read that guide I linked above, as it will help lots.

If you're more of a visual learner, there are tons of youtube videos on how to buy shit on taobao on youtube

I used the reddit tutorial I posted in the other thread. I just want to help determine whats going on with the figure because no one has confirmed if it comes with the Meka and the Meka is truly different from the other one.

Oh. Well here's a listing for that D.Va from the same store:
https://world.taobao.com/item/540235795697.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-15297434819.67.iqkGBd

That D.Va isn't even out yet however. They're taking deposits for preorders of the first release essentially. You don't put in a deposit, you won't be able to get one unless someone drops their preorder. Or if they make enough to just sell as a spot sale like the MEKA I linked above.

When that D.VA is finally out and ready to have people actually pay for it in full, it'll get a new listing with the full price of 388 yuan if I'm understanding pic related properly.
>>
>>6177988
Here's what that greyed out text actually says, if you can get your chinese friend to confirm if 388 really is the full price. In which case it's slightly more expensive than Widowmaker.

>大小 : 订金 颜色分类 : 你们的大滴娃!(全款388)
>>
>>6177978
Oh, and if it's any source of confusion for you, I've had my Widowmaker and smaller DVA+MEKA shipped, not the full articulated DVA that's made by the same guys who did Widowmaker, FanZao.
>>
>>6177988
The all important question though, is if the articulated Dva comes with the MEKA in the bottom pic or if it will be separate
>>
>>6177999
That's what I'm going to hopefully figure out tomorrow.

>>6178000

This "WARNING" message right above the photo of MEKA might be the relevant portion to finding out, which was posted here:

Consolidated all the listings for FanZao D.VA. From some of the text that isn't stuck in images, I'm gleaning that April 17 is the projected release date. A lot of listings also state "don't hit remind, don't rush, very detail work going on" etc. Found it a bit funny.

Also, one of the listings listed this shop with the FanZao logo, so in all likelihood that is the "official" shop for this group:
https://shop159919973.world.taobao.com/

Finally, here's some weird shit I came across while scouring 100 pages of listings for Overwatch in Chinese and "DVA":

Thinking about buying this for one of me mates and even after translating I'm still lost. Is it a preorder? is the yuan that shit that the statue is only worth ~5 dollars? Anybody have it/ordered it?

>tfw no hog ever
>>
Alright got my coworker to translate the keyparts of the Dva listing.

Two major points. Meka is definitely different it's possibly being made by DX9 the same team making Bastion. (Theres also the possibility that this is whole line is DX9)

Second point is you get a 10 yuan discount if you preorder the DVA figure and Bastion together. The bastion link is in the DVA listing I'll post that when I'm home from work.
>>
>>6179223
>it's possibly being made by DX9 the same team making Bastion. (Theres also the possibility that this is whole line is DX9)

This part is interesting as fuck. I always wanted third party tf companies to branch out and do more stuff, it's amazing it lined up with something else I'm interested in.

I think we be autosaging. So maybe a new thread?
>>
>>6179664
We can last a couple more pages, it'll be fine.

If DX9 did Widow. And they're doing the new D. Va... and MEKA.

I'll buy it all <3
>>
>>6179023
It's a deposit for the next batch. Total price is 588 yuan.
>>
>>6179223
I gotcha.

https://world.taobao.com/item/540554373487.htm?fromSite=main&spm=686.1000925.0.0.asybqY

Also, from the translated description, seeing that it's 570 yuan for Bastion. The fuck? There's no way that's right, is there?
>>
Also, that store has tracer up for preorder too:
https://world.taobao.com/item/543189767246.htm?spm=a312a.7728556.2015080705.15.LwX5tx&id=543189767246&scm=1007.12006.72291.i541399150470&pvid=6c0fed8c-8d21-43cc-8604-30e6db3e0213
>>
>>6179766
Does that shop have D.Va and Widowmaker?

I'm thinking of ordering them and it would be great to just get them all from one shop.
>>
>>6179766
>>6179894
Okay nevermind, managed to find both.

Since both Tracer and D.Va are pre-orders for now while Widowmaker is already in-stock, how exactly does that work if I were to order them with through Tabaoring?
>>
>>6179944
You pretty much won't be able to ship them together I think.

Separate orders.
>>
>>6173896
Still curious to see what the Reaper plush toys look in hand.
>>
When do preorders for DVa and Bastion end?
>>
>>6179755
Seems right. Cheaper than TF-Source. Hoping I can cancel my pre-order there. Saving almost 50 dollars.
>>
>>6177976

So if I just use the Chrome Translate, what are the odds that these stores will ship to the US? Do they list it?

>And everyone who bought the chinese figures (myself included) all cried out in anguish.
Eh, i'm pretty happy with what i got. I doubt goodsmile would give me a Widowmaker giving the middle finger.

Though the downside of goodsmile doing figures means the demand for the chinese figures will dry up and they might not bother releasing more...

-GSC already has a special website set up for GSC x Overwatch
>>
>>6182542
Eh. It makes for a pretty nice display piece, and I was probably going to get bastion and the other, articulated MEKA anyway. Widowmaker and that same companies tracer being fuckhuge was gonna be a problem though, and I'm happy to have dodged that.
>>
>>6182564

I already prefer the standard skin honestly. I have several others but stick to the Classic in game.

>>6182568

I'm thinking I will still look at getting that DX-9 Bastion and having the Chinese MEKA will still be good if they put out a real Figma of Hana to go with it, since I doubt we get a MEKA.
>>
>>6182452

So how do they do pre orders, pay up front? I've never ordered from their site before.
