I'll fight you, it's gonna be pink

Pretty much anything but pink.
He is like the only JoJo I don't like in pink.

I'm hoping for a face that actually resembles him. An alt Kira head could be cool as well though.

Only the winner of the Steel Ball Run is allowed to buy one for 12k yen.

>>6482843
I have him and like him quite a bit mainly due to his articulation. That being said, he does have problems and is certainly not worth the 10k price tag. If you can be patient, his 2nd should be a very good figure.
>>
>>6483095

Let's at least wait for them to screw up a second figure before we start just assuming that they're out to screw up everything.

They won't, stop you negative Nancy. They released a JoJo's protagonist as an exclusive(not even a JoJo) and suddenly they will do it everytime
>>
>>6483693
I actually wouldn't mind those colors for Gyro. Grey Johnny is kinda boring though.
>>
>>6483679
>>6483693
I'm betting on green since all the dad JoJos have green colorways and all the son JoJos have pink ones.
So green Johnny and pink Gappy, both pretty frequent colors, seems highly possible.

So I got Gyro from AmiAmi a few days back. Still thinking about what pose I want to put him in though. Hopefully the horses come out soon though. Sort of want to recreate the "Eat Shit Asshole" scene with Gyro and Johnny when he's out.

I'd all over Norisuke, he's one of my favorites, I really hope they make him and KN, which has the dopest design ever.
I think we might get Kira and Josefumi, they seem to be ridiculously popular, so that'd be great.
My dream choice would be Yotsuyu, awesome character and fantastic design.

The gyro I bought on buyee came in today and he had two of the stern face and no yelling face. What are my options? Should I contact medicos or the seller?
>>
>>6486493
Almost tempted to trade you for mine.
>>6485759
But yeah 2 of the beard spots were unpanted and whoever attempted to paint it fucked up their brush and left a dark brown streak on his hair. Luckily I have the paints and the tools and fixed his hair and beard myself. Surprisingly my eyes were perfect. Only other problem is glue or the hat smudged his forehead which is technically invisible since he wont be unposed without it but kinda irritating. Clearly whoever got this opened it up and immediately drove down to Mandy.

How difficult was it to swap the two Giorno's shoes?
>>
>>6486493
Don't suppose you'd just sell it, would you?
>>
>>6486596
If I end up stuck with it, I might sell one. I'd prefer to trade it with someone that received two yelling faces with their gyro, but that's just wishful thinking.

You just convinced me to get the pink WF Jolyne, anon, thanks. She looks good with Giorno 1st and would probably look nice next to Trish too since she has pink hair. Does WF Jolyne come with extra parts or does she have the same parts as regular Jolyne?

What's the concensus on Giorno 1st vs the new blue Giorno? I prefer Giorno in blue, but the blue used on the newer figure looks from the pictures to be too bright and I do kinda like the pink with green secondary colors. Reason I ask is cause I ordered a Giorno 1st from Mandy and I wanna know if I made the right call.

I really like the colors used on WF Giorno, I just really didn't wanna shell out 8-10k for him atm lol. Maybe later I suppose.

How much is shipping usually to America?
>>
>>6488969
It varies based on what type of shipping you choose but RSAL should be your best option if you want to go down the cheap route with included shipping. I think that rounds to 1k+ if you go with that whereas EMS is your fastest but most expensive at around 2k-2.5k+

If you want a speed approximation, RSAL for me at least, 2 weeks roughly to leave Japan and hit Stateside at my local post office. EMS hits around 3-4 days.

I'm usually not a big fan of colorways that fuck too much with what I've come to consider canon colors for the hair, going really bizarre routes. Like white hair kakyoin, that's just silly to me. This gyro has such a pleasing cololor combination that I am willing to accept his crazy hair. I'd probably forgive medicos if we got this in the 2nd release (if the paint wasn't shit).

Got my Gyro today; I got the same problem.

If I wasn't already done with this line, I certainly will be after I get Johnny. Which is a shame, because I have no problems with this figure outside of the price tag.

Any chance anyone is willing to sell/trade their yelling head?

>>6490035
It's not the first time something like this has happened. It happened in the past too. Difference was back then you were paying $40-50 tops. With prices this high they need to have better QC and/or offer global support.
>>
>>6490099
>and/or offer global support.
There's that foreign entitlement again. It wasn't intended to be sold globally, why offer global support?
(inb4 Amiami. The choice to offer global shipping is Amiami's. It wasn't Medicos' intention)
>>
>>6490140
>There's that foreign entitlement again.
What are you talking about? Alter offers global support. Daibadi (TINY company) offers global support. GSC/Max Factory offers global support. Kotobukiya offers local support. Bandai offers local support through Bluefin. Other random companies will offer global support on a case by case basis. Medicos is one of the few that offers nothing but a one finger salute even IF you contact them in Japanese.

It's not entitlement. It's simply being competitive with other players in the arena. Revoltech has the same issue but they are doing so many re-releases and their stuff is so easily available that you can get support from HLJ/AmiAmi if needed then get a replacement later.

>>6490099
What release did this happen with before? Any pics? I've seen so smaller things like double of the same hand, but two of the same head never.

>>6489635
Baldy who?
>>
>>6490195
It happened with my Stone Free from a while back. Got two of the same head (regular face) and was missing the purple glasses head. Just had one yelling and two neutral faces.

It's definitely a RARE thing to happen in any line but it happens. It is slightly worrisome that Johnny already has two people complaining about that issue though which means it may or may not be more common for him.
>>
>>6490208
I ordered my Gyro from Amiami and attached him to my order at the end of the month. If mine comes missing a head, is there anything they could or would be likely to fo about it?

That sucks man, yeah, a real shame yet another problem with Gyro has arisen.
I really want this to not become the norm, before Gyro, I had been extremely glad with the treatment Medicos gave JoJo, acknowledging their mistakes when necessary of course, and felt like we were heading to a comfy "end" of the line, in spite of the raise in the prices, it would truly sad seeing things collapse in and on themselves at this point.

I haven't used their customer service in a while but generally speaking anything from a 50% to 100% refund via points would be likely for something of this magnitude.

I just can't believe they let it happen with Gyro. You'd think with a limited release they'd be stricter on that sort of thing.

Though I suppose they probably don't package the figures themselves so maybe I can't blame Medicos too much.

WF Joseph Joestar. Accurate anime colors. Lots of accessories. Three head swaps. One of the most articulated SAS. I can go on.

Personally Young Joseph is up there since his color choices are solid and acessory count helps the figure a bit. The only knock against him I guess is the Smiling head isn't a default choice so you may have to lean on the more expensive WF release.

Otherwise, people here put Mista on a high point and I can see why.

Ordered the regular Joseph. I really love Joseph, but I didn't know if he was complete shit or not. Sprang for the original because he looks like Jojo in Heritage for the Future and I play a ton of that.

Get them now if you like them before the anime kills the prices. VA is my favorite arc and I think Passione is the most enjoyable group in the series. DiU is close but they're honestly rarely together. Okuyasu basically falls out of relevancy. But anyway I have them all and they're all pretty awesome and not too expensive right now. Bruno, Mista, Purple Haze, KC and GE in particular

Because Medicos aren't offering it, Amiami are. Have you tried ordering off of the Medicos webshop lately?

That's right. Japan onry.
>>
>>6490385
Then ask Amiami for compensation and not Medicos. They're the ones that decided to sell it to you.
>>
WF Jonathan up on Mandarake for 6k.
>>
>>6491134
So you want me to think amiami unilaterally decided to sell a product without the permission of the maker? You being real right now? Medicos obviously approved that international distribution and therefore, I'm entitled to a compensation in case I don't get what I paid for.
>>
>>6491137
I didn't get the appeal of WF Jonathan until I realized the colorway's based off of the cover that started the "joestar pose"
>>
>>6491100
Bucciarati and Mista are must haves for me, which makes Giorno necessary which means all probably means I'll just buy all of Passione, to cover up the pain I'll feel buying Giorno without the rest of Passione to hide him. I fucking hate Giorno, he makes my skin crawl.
>>
>>6491151
in my experience, amiami will try to help you out, but won't really go out of their way like you would expect an american company to.

for instance, i received a kamen rider 2 figuarts where one of the antennae was smaller than the other and quite noticeable. they refunded like 500 jpy to me and that's about it. I think i had one more similar experience where they gave me 500jpy but i don't remember.

I was like you; I didn't like Giorno. But once I actually got his figure, I began to like him more.

Just got kc blue ver. And I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed in the coloration. It looked in the promo as if he had a midnight/darker color scheme, but when I started displaying him he just looked like cotton candy. Still a pretty good figure compared to many in the line. Pic related

>>6491190
>amiami won't go out of their way
My experience is probably atypical, and likely amiami changed their policy by now, but waaaay back when Kira 2nd first released, I bought him and amiami accidentally sent me Kira 1st. I emailed them about their mistake and they told me to keep Kira 1st and sent me Kira 2nd free.
>>
Color me surprised, Star BIG's pre-orders stopped at hlj
>>
>>6491151
Amiami are allowed to sell to who they want unless explicitly told not to. The conversation between Medicos would have gone something like

M: These are only intended to be sold in Japan
A: We do sell overseas though.
M: Do whatever you want, but don't come crying to us if there are any issues.
>>
>>6491415

Just got Gyro today, sorta happy with him. I quite like the articulation but the paint is really making me dislike him. If the face were painted properly, I think I would love him. I really need a figma horse. What does the speech plate say? I remember reading a few threads back but I forgot.

Is it just me or does he actually have shading on the pants? It looks like mine does, but it's possible it's just the light.
>>
>>6492456
I believe it says something to the effect of: "The Spin! Believe in the power of the Spin!" Not too sure though.
>>
>>6492456
Light can create what appears to be shading but there is definitely no shading on him.

Finally got amiami Gyro today, upon getting him out the box I thought that I was one of the lucky ones with my Gyro. But as soon as I started messing around with him, I had some issues.

First off, his right hip joint was frozen requiring some fiddling to get it loose. Then some the of holes for his hands had warped, requiring a little more force to get them into the wrist peg.

Other than those issues, he's alright. If the paint was a little better, he would be solid. Just thought I would give a little warning to anyone picking up Gyro in the future. Pic related, I gave Gyro a LEGO teddy bear as sort of a replacement for not actually having one.

I'm considering buying a Rohan. Rohan + HD second sounds appealing, because of both HD and the pink colorway, which I like. However, the third version looks like a better sculpt and doesn't have the midget syndrome from part 4. Any advice? The only figures from part 4 I have are Josuke, CD and KQ, and josuke looks pretty ridiculous compared to pretty much everyone, while cd is decent and kq sort of makes up for it by being so good. Will I hate it if I hate Josuke?

Woman carrying mail came to the door today, I'd just woke up at the time so I couldn't get the door, she had a package and was walking to my mom's aunties house a couple doors down (It's where I get shit delivered to when I'm not in). My assumption was that it was the Kars figure I ordered, couldn't have been my green Star Platinum that shit would be way too early, turns out the package was for my neighbours.

Waiting for shit to arrive is the worst part of collecting these figures. With the exception of getting a defective figure.

When did I say he's on par with the part 4 figures? I just said he's not as bad as people say.
>>
>>6496130
My point is comparing him to a SAS of expected quality and yes, yes he is. Remember that this is 8000 yen of figure we are talking about too. It's a shocking dive in quality.
>>
>>6496133
Do you even own a Gyro? If not then who are you to say how low a dip in quality he really is. The dip in quality is obvious but, unless you also own Gyro yourself and are capable of seeing the flaws with your own eyes then you cannot be the judge. The only things you can use as a gauge of value are anons who bought the item and blogs who put hyper focus on minor flaws.

I'm starting to think that most of the people here who constantly point out the low quality and high price of the figure are just those who are bitter about not being able to get it. I have full certainty if he had a general release at the same price and same level of quality, most people would be fine with the dip in quality. Maybe the people who say he's not that bad are just overlooking the flaws due to its price also but, even then, I'd still trust their word over someone who only reads blogs about him.

My collection got to the point where they wouldn't fit on a shelf (its actually a small 4 shelf dvd rack) and I ended up putting them in boxes and stuffing them in my closet...I might have a problem.
>>
>>6496175

Until you dedicate a room to be surrounded by nothing but figs and detolfs that's not a problem.
>>
>>6496145
Why go to these lengths to defend Medicos. Great you wanted Gyro and you dropped a decent amount of cash on him that your choice but why lie to yourself and everyone on the board that it's ok?

Medicos fucked this one up it's a expensive figure with hardly any accessories worth a damm and a limited release on top of that. Paintjob is the worst of the line. Articulation seems to be good so that's nice.

Most people here just hoped for better and are bitter that Gyro isn't up to par but what point is there to defending this figure?
>>
>>6496037
Lol just use amazon for free 2 day shipping
>>
>>6496312
I can't use Amazon 2 day shipping if Amazon doesn't sell them directly. I buy them from 3rd party sellers on there because they only sell Figmas and SHF figures (and Hasbro domestic shit)
>>
>>6496336
Well the majority of common SAS will have prime shipping, especially part 3 and 4
>>
>>6496145
I agree with what >>6496204 said.
Gyro is just not living up to his price tag and the flaws on the paint are just undeniable, his face in general is just incredibly weak, he's clearly a disparity on the line.
I'll be glad to defend Medicos for all the things they have done right in the past, which people seem to have forgotten, but white knighting for Gyro is just stupid. Still waiting for mine to arrive, and I hope he's decent, but the issues are undeniable.

So hear me out or whatever, this is going to probably be a long post but yeah, I really wonder what the fuck is going on with Medicos, like how exactly are they even making money at this point?

I'm admittedly no business expert, but from what I gather, Medicos' revenue is based on selling bulk produce to shops such as Amiami who then sell it to consumers. This means that once the goods and money has changed hands, that's it in terms of revenue. So even if Amiami continue to sell of their stock, Medicos aren't making a penny more than the moment they sold off the stock to the shop in question.

So when months go by and Medicos don't release a new product, they aren't actually making revenue at all. Like zero. How are they staying afloat? Are they basically bleeding money at this point? (Ok they releases Gyro recently but like, that was such a small number, surely not enough to make your numbers even for a month)

I wonder if Medicos are in a tight spot where they have no product to sell, but can't afford to make anything more. For new products that requires new molds etc, and even for older re-releases it requires costs in raw materials. So they can't make any new products because they can't afford to, so they have nothing to sell. Because they have nothing to sell, they can't make money to create more products, all the while they are bleeding money because they have to pay overheads (facilities, salaries, etc).

They are some kind of Shroedinger's company, neither alive nor dead at this point.

Anyway, that's how I see it. Medicos gonna fold soon then?

Medicos has releases schedule for September, August, December the only articulated figures are in December though.
They do statues too and little things here and there. The statues look pretty popular,there's two right now Goku and another based on a, I imagine, a pretty popular movie, the last one already closed pre-orders at Hlj.

JoJo and SAS newbie here:

Looking at getting a Joutarou and Star Platinum. I like the looks of the Green SP and the black Jo but I see there are a few different ver. Is it just accessories that makes them different or are there versions that have QC issues I should look out for?

If you want a black Jotaro then you should look for "1.5" for the standard headsculpt we see across the releases for Part 3. Avoid 1st since the head on that is pretty medicore.

Generally the variants you see like "2nd, 3rd" WF, Limited Edition, color ver." are recolors packaged with an additional soundplate or sometimes pieces that add to a current SAS like WF Killer Queen which has the Kosaku (black hair) head and used SHA hand or WF Crazy Diamond packing a smiling Josuke head for Josuke 1st. Otherwise certain releases like The World 3rd Sand ver. and Star Platinum 3rd is purely a recolor.

Star Platinum 1st or the "green SP" your referring to is generally a solid release and the one I have currently is holding up with no issues that I have found.
>>
>>6500275
To add, in terms of QC, the biggest variant release with issues is Dio Black ver. which comes with yellow punching effects but the figure itself has a chance of either bad paint apps or terrible joints that can snap easier than others. Also specific reissues have fixed older problems on original releases such as Old Joseph's hip setup so his legs won't snap or Josuke 1st's neck joint being resized I think. The only tradeoff on some reissues is you get the new skin shading which is lighter than the original SAS shading. It looks okay but I always get bothered by reissue Part 4 Jotaro's face looking bad in bright shots.
>>
>>6500275
>>6500287
Thanks for the info! Gonna see if I can find any black jacket jotaro for a good price. Though I just saw the green one and man that looks slick, though I still want the black for the iconic look but maybe nab the green one later for looks. Then need to get a Dio and Za world....This is a slipery slope isn't it
>>
>>6500300
Kind of, SAS take up a majority of my collection and I really got sucked into the recolor strategy since some look really good to phenomenal. However stock must've took a dive since I last lurked some 2nd hand sites, Mandy had a fair number of pages dedicated to it but there was a point where there was only a couple left to check for available SAS and prices hiked a bit on some releases now due to popularity or demand. Now releases have slowed down so much that I hardly collect this line unless I have more room to finish each part.

The black ones are bunko, smaller editions that contain more chapters, sort of a pocket release, the purple ones are tanko, the regular release, a bit bigger and contains a bit less of story than the bunko.
Hope that answers your question.

Everything might be a bit much mate, specially in tanko, it's over a 100 volumes. Maybe get your favorite part, some covers you really like, or even pick by story arcs, like Grateful Dead and Sugar Mountain for example.
I own a couple of jap volumes and they're cool to have, but since you can't read them, having every single one doesn't seem like a great idea. Unless you can read nip, that is.
Oh, mind you, the bunko covers are not as neat as the tanko covers, with the exception of SBR, both editions have good covers, but the bunko isn't complete yet.

Not sure since I'm a Britfag. I've got SAL shipped stuff from Tokyo in about 2-4 weeks in the past. You'll have to ask somebody else or do some searching to find out, sorry mate.
>>
>>6501054
Usually takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks for stuff to reach me in Tennessee from Japan via SAL. Can sometimes take longer than that. I'd give it a couple weeks and periodically check the tracking. It should update once it reaches the states. Once it enters the States, you're looking at anywhere between 3-5 days to reach your front door, assuming nothing abnormal causes a delay.

Plastic feels I don't know lighter?
