Neon Blue is in stock on AmiAmi, grab it while you can, because Amazon doesn't have it for sale on their site

Exia hobby cancelled my orders. feels bad man.
ordered yellow and ghost dog from amazon. $31 shipped. Amiami seems sold out.
any word yet on amazon selling the neon or police?
the rest of these are con exclusives yeah?
>>6297801
>Exia hobby cancelled my orders.
Me too, total bummer.
Apparently they're working on getting Amazon the other colors and there's talk of new retail variants (though no word on when or if they'd be on amazon)
Emailed about the other 2 (neon and bbpd) and got this reply
>>6297908
"Dear Customer,
Currently the BBPD version is out of order, and we have already arrange it in production again. So it still needs some time to launch on Amazon, thanks! "
>>6297812
>>6297801
Exia cancelled the White Dio on me today.. i fear the rest are soon to follow.. I hope the white police one comes back around and they sell it on amazon.
Either way it feels bad man.
Mine shipped from Topop. From China.. I thought it was shipping from California?
>>6298289
Same, shipped but from China not CA
I dream of going into a store and getting one.....alas I can only dream...
>>6296289
Yo, anyone know what line this zaku is from?
>>6298743
No dumbass they're made from China.

mylittleanonscan'tbethisstupid.jpg
>>6298756
>thinking these would ship from Cali when they were originally China only toys
The Amazon storefront for the items literally said shipping from California. Why else would I think otherwise?
>thinking the company would magically have a Cali warehouse
It's a third party seller. Maybe they could've bought up stock directly from the company and distribute it sort of like Bluefin does?
>on amiami recently
And yet everyone in the US who ordered from AmiAmi have already had theirs for a couple of weeks now. Maybe the third party Amazon seller could've bought up stock from AmiAmi and then sold them on Amazon?
You see how flawed our argument is now?
>>6298756
STFU the listing said shipping from CA. That is the only reason people thought they would be coming from CA

Can people who bought them off Amazon update us here when you get them so we know if this is legit or not?
>>6299106

>>6299609
Will update when/if they arrive.
>>6299609
Sure, will update as soon as I get them.

Nice
If they made an ankylosaur or even that alien that was on the homepage I would find a way to buy every variation.
I like that design shirt too.

Weird, in this other image of them, the name appears as Moba
>>6308686
Hmm. That's interesting.
Also. Update:
Good news, guys!
I got my yellow D10 from Amazon, took about a week, cuz its from China
For that guy who was worried, it definitely seems to be a legit one.
>>6310874
I'd pay a little more extra for some exclusive colors, yeah. I still gotta get BBPD and Neon.
>>6297801
Love that green one. A Skywarp or Famicom colored one like the Mechatro Wego would be kinky too. I might make myself a gunmetal or rusty old Ghostdog.
I ordered a box of those Megamans, so I'll probably have some left over to split if anyone is interested?
>>6311115
Still haven't received mine although they shipped awhile ago. I know they will get here eventually but that's good to know you got yours.
>>6310874
The updates are nice and all, but why are you holding back info as well?
>>6311192
I was asked to black out certain information as it is supposed to be a surprise.
I'm choosing to respect that request at the expense of new and direct information. I think that's fair :)
I'll still update once it's confirmed and greenlit for public consumption.
>>6311750
>I was asked to black out certain information
Yeah, not buying it. Why would they email with that information in the first place and then ask you to block it out?
>>6312368
Fucks sake man the guy helped out with the Amazon deal get that conspiracy theory out of your ass man.
>>6312379
How did he help? One random company put up chinese stock on Amazon and another company cancelled the orders. They're still not being sold in any official capacity on Amazon.
>>6312402
Well, he helped clean out amiami's stock just so he could list a bunch of it in the BST thread :^) (^:
>>6312368
Believe what you want, I suppose. I have no reason to lie to you.
>>6312402
I was asked to list companies that the BeastBox would sell well on. Amazon was one of the first places proposed to carry on.
>>6312410
I'm selling four units. It also escapes me why people think they can only be sold on AmiAmi. Not that you'd believe me if you misunderstood my listing, but the only BeastBox units I purchased off AmiAmi were the Original D10, and only two at that.
>>6311750
Where is the message that instructed you to black that info out?
>>6312621
The email responsible for the redaction has been redacted.
I haven't been following news on these since I got mine. Didn't realize they were already up on amazon. Sux that they don't offer prime shipping. But maybe I'll pick up D10. ... Still want the Police one.
>>6299609
This thread sure got hostile but my 2 amazon ordered Beast Boxes are put for delivery today!
>>6314639
Still waiting on mine :\
They said they were received by chinese shipping on 4.27 and I haven't heard a peep since.
I'm on the east coast so I was prepared to wait a while, I'm just surprised I haven't gotten an update saying it was handed off to USPS
Got my Amazon order in.
Incredibly cute but unfortunately I have two left claws on my Dio.
Rather unfortunate is there a way to contact for a tiny replacement part? Also both right tiny arms were incredibly loose.
Still fun desk figures that's for sure.
>>6314661
Yup I'm on the east coast too, haven't heard anything past China since 4.27 too.
>>6314956
Same. My amazon order page says "by the 16th" which could be a shame since we're leaving on vacation on the 15th. Here's hoping.
I got mine from Amazon, west coast here.
Did anyone else order from EKIA hobbies? i still haven't gotten any notice on when it's arriving and i ordered the same date as my amazon order.
going to send a email tomorrow asking whats up.
>>6315073
How long'd it take, and did it actually ship from cali? I just ordered off amazon this morning, I'm hoping that delivery estimate is just being generous.
>>6315075
it took exactly 10 days, shipped from china.
Everything looks legit, came in a bubble wrapped small box, only a minor dent on the packaging.
For those of you who ordered from amazon and had it shipped from China, did your tracking ever properly update as delivered, or did the box just appear in your mail unannounced?
>>6315073
>Did anyone else order from EKIA hobbies?
I originally order from EKIA and they cancelled my order about a week after Amazon got stock.
Not suggesting they're related but trying to give you a timeframe.
>>6315111
My tracking updated when the package entered SF and when it reached my city. I had a estimated delivery date of the 5th as well when I tracked it on USPS website.
>>6315111
it was china with no changes all the way up until it reached my state (california) then i got updates.
>>6314639
These things are so fun. Gimme more!
>>6314790
My arms are super loose too.
>>6315073
I also ordered from Ekia, haven't heart anything.
>>6314790
>>6315257
Arms are loose too, its just one arm on both of mine but I think its probably common for these. These are so fun I hope the othet designs show up on amazon.
>>6315257
>>6315289
Yeah its probably a common issue.
I'll try to fix it with pledge today.
Hey /toy/, I'm fresh new here and looking for some really cool, conversation starting, attention getting toys to decorate my room and desk with. I like neon colors and weeb shit, but don't limit your recommendations to those two things. What do you recommend? Thanks.
>>6315331
I'm not sure why you asked this in this thread but I suppose the Beastbox Dinos could work.
>>6315331
>doesn't know how to make his own thread
Ah, summer begins
>>6315331
Are you sure you want to ask this question in a thread about a very specific line of toys? You'd get more varied opinions in a solo thread or something a little broader like BST.
>really cool, conversation starting, attention getting toys to decorate my room and desk
BeastBox toys meet those criteria. They're not as iconic as an action figure or model of a well known character but they're neat little things. Unique look, fun to pose, transforms into a sturdy cube.
Other than that you could always go for a lego set (everything from StarWars/Marvel to real life architecture) or if you want to go a little more retro you could get a few ZBots.
ZBots are small, 90s neon, and posable, perfect for decorating a desk or fiddling with. I've got a few and I love 'em. You're pretty much just limited to Ebay for them though but they're not very expensive.
>>6297581
Bully time?
Ayy fellow East coaster
USPS finally updated my tracking, expected delivery May10th
>>6316108
Texas here, mine just cleared NY customs
>>6316291
Georgia Here, mine arrived in New York today. Expected arrival of May 14th.
>>6316500
Second update, it went north to Connecticut from New York for some reason.I hope it doesn't get lost on the way..
overall i'm really happy with mine, the right arm is a little loose, but other then that nothing deal breaking.
Definitely looking forward to the other models.
>>6315331
Get a Beastbox, they are new around here too and fit your criteria.
>>6316591
One arm is loose on both of mine too, not a big deal but has anyone tried a dab of pledge or something on the joint to help stiffen it up?
>>6316591
>>6316603
Hol up a sec, I just fixed the loose arms on mine by just pushing in the metal pin a little bit.I used a the end of a pencil to push the metal pin that was holding the loose arm in place and it tightened up the joint. I didn't press hard and it didn't feel like the pin moved at all but the arm is no longer loose.
Try it out and let me know if it worked for you too.
>>6316603
Fuck I wan't to give these a positive review on Amazon but I don't want any of you fuckers to have my real name.
>>6316636
you're on /toy/, a board where people regularly send each other money/packages
no ones going to fuck with you
>>6316609
yeah i tried that from the start, pushing in the pin helps to pose it for once, but any further movement loses it back up.
>>6316636
You can change your name in your review.
>>6316881

There's really no need to upload at that resolution, regardless of the file size. Your photos don't benefit from it at all. 1500 pixels max res on either axis would give a much sharper look to your photos.
>>6316941
Oh, I see. Doesn't matter that it's inconsiderate and unnecessary, the image board equivalent of POSTING IN ALL CAPS, it's okay for you to be a lazy shitcock because of an assumption about my internet speeds.

Ah, it's another lazy faggot with an "professional-ish" camera episode

Outside of these cute dinos I also recommend the pose skeletons and for small cute weebshit take a look at candysan and rakuten. My favourite seller is: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/auc-toysanta/
>>6317085
I can't speak for the others, but I got mine a month ago through AmiAmi. The photos are still over-sized for no reason.
>>6297581
Like, these guys are cute, but are they going to release ones that turn into more than a box?
>>6317468
Probably not. That's kind of the whole point.
>>6317468
>BeastBox
Gonna venture a guess and say no
>>6317519
The whole gimmick is a box hence a beast-box.
What's not to get?
>>6297581
AAAAAAAAAAAA they are doing a gorilla? I NEED IT
>>6317519
I think it's the appeal of modularity--the vaguely post-cyberpunk, industrial aesthetic of stackable uniformity, the discreetness of which also encourages their use as desk toys--in turn contrasting with the variety of colourways (think vinyl toys), and the creativity of different transformations and final states all stemming from the 'same' starting point.
>>6317468
You could get those ko toys that turn into numbers and letters
>>6317519
The novelty that a robotic animal collapses neatly into a cube?
It's kind of the same shtick as those Bakugan toys. Why do they transform into spheres? They just do.
>>6317714
right in the nostalgia
>>6316503
Now it's left CT and is back down in New York! This is agonizing, though I do expect it some time this week.

Hooray! D09 finally arrived.
>>6320548

>TFW ghostdog is a fast retard
>>6321081
Extend your legs bro
my friend likes dinosaurs and doesn't know about these
I will get him one for his birthday
the question is, should I remove it from the packaging so he has no idea what it is until he transforms it?
>>6321966
no, the package is really nice, comes with a fold out little diorama too.
>>6321947
Not him but holy shit I didn't even know that thanks.
>>6322141
No probs enjoy your taller dinosaur
>tfw you don't have the police one but you gotta take the picture anyways
Got mine in today, D09 (dog) and D10 (dio) ...clever.
Love those blueprint backdrops inside the box. That should be a poster.
I had to do some flash trimming, sprue nub sanding, and tightening of the floppy arms on both of them. I think the problem with the arms is that they are shoving a ribbed pin through the arm and into the socket, which widens the hole in the arm, leaving it to flop. A little future or super glue applied to the pin remedies it neatly.
The biggest issue was my D10 had one eye only 3/4 of the way painted. I can't be bothered to send a figure back to China, so I just repainted both eyes. At least my shitty painting job is consistent, if nothing else.
I love the idea behind them, but I'm slightly disappointed by what I got; I would have paid more for the same figures with slightly better QC. Regardless, I still adore them.
>>6322402
fuck you man i didnt even notice the sprue traces until you said something

The worst ones on mine were on the chest fin and on the tip of the tail. I'm really enjoying them tho. I hope they release more colors.
>buy a pair from amazon a couple days ago, says it's coming from california
>check the shipping status just now, it started in china
I haven't looked at this thread since the last one, is this a known thing or did I get rused?
>>6323696
Nah, you're good. Mine arrived safe and sound.
>>6323696
People have gotten them, they're legit.
I've been summarily rused by the USPS though. Mine was processed in NY 5 days ago and I finally got an update saying it's on its way but "delayed".
Kicker is I live in NY
>>6323696
Nope, they ship out of China.
Mine went China - New York - Connecticut - back to New York - Atlanta - me.
ok, these aren't on ebay, aren't on amazon, or any of the online retailers i usually use
where can i find these?
>>6324031
Amazon

Did you order from one of the ten thousand stores with 'free shipping' called 'FREE SHIP BEST COLLECTIBLES TO YOU CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE 100% AUTHENTIC STORE HOBBY JAPAN' or like eknight?
>>6324037
won't ship to me
>>6324031
Ekia Hobbies carries them, but they were supposed to release on their estimate of "Expected release date is 30th Apr 2017"
it's now may 11th and they still don't have them in stock, if Amazon won't work out for you then this might be your last retailer.
pic related.
>>6323707
Hi ATL-anon. Mine shipped the same route. NY to CT and back NY and then down to ATL really confused me.
>>6324102
I'm surprised Ekia is still honoring orders, they cancelled mine
>>6318239
oh fuck me, i used to have the N figure...
Finally got mine today.
I agree with others that the quality could be a lot higher. I'd definitely be willing to pay more for it.
Like other people reported the arms can get very loose.
The design is great though and I'm still surprised by how expressive you can make such a small toy.
I could see myself buying one of the next models.
My pair showed up after a surprisingly short trip from china, and I'm just a little bit disappointed? The looseness everyone's mentioned is definitely a problem, but the lack of forward/backward ankle articulation doesn't do them any favors either. It's kind of weird how they tossed in two dedicated joints for side to side tilt when the hips don't even allow the legs to go far enough to use it.
They're beautiful though, it goes to show how far a good design can help an otherwise average toy out. I'm onboard for the new ones if they make some QC fixes.
>>6327329
The hips are on a sort of tube-encased ball joint, like on some gundam kits and transformers. You can pull it a few mm out to the side, and then get some lateral motion that way.
If you pull the hip joint out a bit, and it's too tight at the end of the socket tube so it snaps the ball joint back in deep, you can shave just a little bit off the sides of the gap running down the lower length of the socket tube, and it will slide out to the end and rest there snugly without snapping back in unless you want it to.
>>6327348
Yeah, I had that thought when I accidentally popped one of his hips off, but it looked like the outside corner (top right part in your pic) was what was limiting it. I might give it a shot.
>>6327372
>>6327348
On an unmodified leg, you can see that the gap gets more narrow as it reaches the outside edge, meaning the tube gets tighter, forcing the ball to get sucked back in. We want it to pull out to the edge but not pop all the way out.
Sorry for the gruesome photo, but if you carve out a little rounded area for the ball to rest in, it works.
I tightened up the loose arms on mine by putting very small dab of super glue in the small hole where the arm connects to the body. I used a toothpick to make sure I only filled the small hole. The arm is tight now and you cannot see the tiny amount of glue.

>>6335332
>>6335576
Well, remember, Topop/52toys is dangerously close to being a trendy bullshit urban "art toy" company. Best to enjoy their offerings at face value and don't get too attached to them. They could go total feral hipster at any moment.
>>6335741
Well they went from "check out this random Chinese dinosaur robot" to licensed American shit pretty fast.
Hey I skip leg day too
>>6336171
Ooh. I like him a lot. But I don't like the default color. Hopefully he has some cool alternate versions.
>>6336175
Feels like he'll have some balance issues
>>6336179
Like real gorillas.
>>6336175
I'm really sad he can't open his hands. I don't even need fingers, just a hinge so I could get a palm for grabbing stuff
>>6336175
Using a corner for the head (I think?) is fuckin' brilliant.
>>6336255
Yeah the hands should have been hinged but I'll still pick up Jojo
anybody has beastbox's contact?
Jojo Po open fukken when?
Is there no new news on the neon blue or police coming to amazon?
topop got me thirsty I want more dinos god dammit
>>6336696
>Has science gone too far?
Anon whats that clear stuff in the small jars?
>>6336696
It's dab/wax
>>6348734
Took D10 with me to a con recently, bad idea. The tab that locks the entire leg assembly into the body gave out and broke off, just from having it in my pocket, so be careful when carrying it around. It doesn't affect the look of it in either mode though, so it's not a huge deal.
So is this topop seller on Amazon US legit? Haven't been keeping up with the thread really.
>>6349717
Yes.
>>6349717
Very legit. thats where i got one of mine.
>>6335332
I think I just peed a little
Ok so I recently ordered DIO and Ghost Dog off of amazon, where can I get other variants, I know 52toys is planning on bringing Neon Blue and BBPD to amazon eventually, so I can wait for that, but what about the other colors? Are they all expo/con exclusives?
>>6350224
yep. all exclusives. good luck.
I got mine today. He's a real cutie.
Received mine and they are just adorable! Need to try the leg mod since they seem to always work their way back.
>>6354196
I love how naturally sassy and full of attitude D10 is!

>>6354327
Oh baby, I hope that means BBPD isn't far behind
>>6355037

>>6354327
The fucking engrishy description though, whats going on here with that?
Also these topop guys are legit? About how long does it take to arrive if you live in the east coast of the US?
>try to order off Amazon
>won't let me order
Apparently topop doesn't ship to PO boxes. Well, fuck. Guess I'm not getting one of these things.
>>6355234
>Also these topop guys are legit?
