;o; just sent amiami my cancel on these two lovely’s, i know i will regret it but the dollar to yen kills.
Can’t wait to see pictures though~<3
@sigma: *hugs* The exchange rate is really bad and we don’t know what else is going to happen OTL;;; But I’m sure you won’t regret it. To be honest, I feel that maybe next year there will be a sale and you can grab the boys at an even better price!
I’ve actually purchased from them a number of times and so far so good.The price from other local store is quite low as well.Guess it’s just the change in exchange rate (I live in Asia btw). I’ve deciding to purchase both version of Akira.I think they will look as good when placed back to back ^_^
I just dun love Shiki as much as Akira who is showing more skin >//<
@Aira: I see, then its ok I guess :)
Yeah They could have done more with Shiki… and make a damaged version of his too! XD
Visited my local store’s website and found that the price has dropped an incredible US$13 to US$74! Maybe now I can have both Shiki & Akira (& not separate them like their military ver. counterparts). Am so tempted to wait and see if the price will drop further but this is so much like a gamble :/
@Aira: That’s strange… why would they discount so much? Are they trustworthy? OTL;;; sorry for being paranoid.
@Shirokaze: Lucky you! That’s cheaper than in the Kotobukiya web woooaahh, omedetou! ^^
I’m so useless for these things… don’t now how to search in FJ… ^^”
deposit payment is available but full payment will safeguard against any increase in exchange rate.hmm,damaged version is nice but I can’t display it (I’m still in the closet about liking BL stuff :/) so I guess I’ll stick to the normal version.I actually thought Shiki’s pose is quite bland. Guess akira will have to be alone again (together with military akira).Blame it on my wallet!
@Aira: yeah the exchange rate is incredible nowadays OTL;;; I think damaged version is still rather mild when you consider the fact that Akira is still fully clothed. He looks like just any other male character who had just been through a tough fight? XD
I agree about Shiki too… I was a little disappointed by his pose but the final prototype looks good overall, so its still acceptable I guess.
Just saw that my local stores have open the pre-order for the figurines,including the akira damaged version! But I’m so short on cash.Having a hard time deciding which to buy >_<
@Aira: If your local store sells it at a reasonable price, why not? :D It’s probably more convenient for you right? Do they expect full payment or just a deposit?
@ponytale
wooooooooooooooooooot!
just ordered my exclusive akira for 6000 *0*
shipping not included lol
thank god that girl (or boy lol) posted that site in MFC *0*
im so happy Q.Q now i wont be poor
and oh, idk why it doubles https i never noticed cos its autofilled e.e
fixed now, i think x333333333
@Shirokaze: That’s great XD I’m glad we can all have Akira!!!
never mind, the shipping rate is hell ~_~
but i find this comment in MFC quite interesting
“FJ is commission-free, but they do charge a ‘system usage fee’ which was 285yen.
All together I paid 5,997yen for the pre-order.
You still need to pay for the internal and international shipping, which I’m pretty sure will still be cheaper than Tokyo Hunter’s 8,500yen + shipping.”
From Japan’s web FAQ says they wont ship by SAL any order above 6000 yens …
i sent them a mail asking about this… cos i dont want ems.. -.-
customs will bite me
@Shirokaze: Hope you can get a good and safe order! :)
Btw, when you enter your URL, you don’t have to type http:// again, just enter mydroggie.livejournal.com will do ^^
@sakurazu
omg is that price correct?! is play asia a safe place to buy figures?!
its so cheap!!!!

@Shirokaze: They’re relatively safe to get figures and depending on your location, shipping varies. Some countries get free shipping if they buy over US$50 if I’m not wrong.
akira damaged version is up for preorder in playasia…hehe, i preordered the normal akira n shiki at amiami….should i get the damaged fig too…..? *think think* XD
ohmy poor card..
@sakurazu: The good thing is you don’t have to pay immediately :)
I don’t usually read news on figures, I just preorder them when I see something I like, and so today I saw the normal Akira and Shiki ver and preordered them.
Now I read you blog and I’m already dying for the damage ver so I guess I’ll end up buying the 3 of them, damn consumerism lol
I guess I’ll have to order it by proxy too so I can pay it latter, meanwhile I’ll be hunting for every penny I see around u.u
@SmirkingPain: I’m sure you’ll love these boys! XD grab the damage version Akira. He is hot!
@ponytale: I ordered the damage version first because I wanted to pay it now. XXDD
Don’t ask me why, but I see 2012 full of preordes T.T So now I’m thinking about where to order the other 2. AmiAmi and pay them in March/April with the risk of a lot more preorders coming out along this half year for the same dates plus the euro maybe even weaker than now ¬¬. The other option is BIJ and let the figures paid just in case now that I still have some bucks… @_@
@izas: You have a very good point… the global economy looks rather gloomy… I guess for the must-haves, it’s probably good to be able to pay for them now while the exchange rate is still ok.
The “bad” thing about AmiAmi and many figure stores nowadays is that you can’t cancel orders *_* I think there’ll be more boy figures coming out and preorder systems are very terrible for budgeting.
I totally forgot about the damaged fig.OTL already pre-ordered the regular ones. why the damage one is exclusive?? Not fair~ but the regular ones fit the budget~ ;o;
@sigma: I ordered the damaged version first… the normal versions I’ll wait a while… doesn’t seem like it’ll be sold out that soon ^^;;
gomen, with the euphoria I forgot to say that damage version is up here:

@izas: Thanks for the links! <3
I’ve just paid my pocket-DAMAGE version in BIJ … now I’m totally broke TAT
but muahahahahahaa he’s finally mineeee XXXDDD
@izas: I ordered him through a proxy buyer… A bit more expensive but I don’t have to pay now I think ^^;;
THE PREORDERS ARE UP!
for all 3!….. i wanna stab myself *commits harakiri*
i cant pay for the exclusive one Q.Q
i wasnt expecting them to go for preorder so soon!!!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
mmm I have to admit that I’m a bit upset about Akira’s face in both figures :/ maybe the hair? The one it’s going to be mine for sure is Shiki (fufufufufufu) *-*
Shiki and Akira normal edition are up for preorder in AmiAmi, HLJ and HobbySearch. But we have to wait till April… I want them NOW!!! DXXX

OMG!!! http://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/cgi-bin/db_sm_main_css.cgi?B=8137&N=detail01&C=1364-1231
@planck-chan: Thanks for the link XDD OMG indeed! <3
Beautiful it’s not enough to describe it. If this is only the <> version, dear god I want to see the actual ones.
@ponytail
the problem is that the one i want is no longer in any store ~o~
@Shirokaze don’t worry about the one-coins. They’ll definitely reissue them in a few months time :)
Well, part of me doesn’t mind such since, you know,at least I’ll “save money” instead of getting all three, aha.
This is that one moment I miss my ex-proxy, since they were the only one I knew that did in-store orders.
So seems I’ll be needing to -recontact some old acquaintances OTL
@Oru: that’s true :D
I’ll keep u updated when the preorder opens. But I’m quite sure we can buy it online.
If you know when the release date of the damaged version, please post it!!
Btw, speaking of AGF, are there any other events for females in Japan??
@Urusaiii: I’ll definitely do that ^^
Hmm so far AGF seems to have the most publicity online. I’ll update if I know of others :)
@ponytail
omg D:
they have the one coin set i want in their store!!!!
I AND HAZ NO MONEYYYYY!!!
Q___________________________________Q
@Shirokaze: Those are not exclusives, so you’ll be able to find them in other stores! Don’t panic :D
@ponytale
Oh! I made it!? O__O
So if i want to reply to someone i use the “@” ??
Im sorry for the mess in the comments ;__; Im too new to this site here
Question: U say Kotobukiya has an online store too,right.
I guess it is in japanese but maybe i ll find a way to order from there.
Can u plz provide a link of the online store when the figures get released [directly to the figures page] so i can see if i can make this work?
Thanks!! ^^
@Lazuli: no worries. If there was a mess, I didn’t see any lol. You did fine!
@ Is commonly used to address someone in a comment. It’s not a must for the comment to go through successfully tho.
Here’s the link http://item.rakuten.co.jp/kotobukiya/c/0000000103/
wow! SEXY! but i want a Rin figure too…
@katarin27: me too :3
Umm i keep trying to post a comment here but it seems i do something wrong ^^’
Is there a way i can comment on this site via twitter? o__o
Its a really nice site and i want to be here too T___T
@Lazuli: Your comment went thru! :D hmm what issues are you facing?
@urusaiii
Store only means they will only sell it at their store in Akihabara.
I feel like the shiki one looks the same as the old one, and at least the Akira looks better than the old one (the face of the old one looks so odd..)
Akira and the bloody scars are his selling point!!
But what do u mean kotobukiya store? Do they have The online store??
Ugh they better make a kichiku megane figure now.. We did the survey!!
@Urusaiii: Damage version is gorgeous! I like the other two too but that’s the priority.
Yep, their online and physical store, if I’m not wrong :)
I wanna be a keisuke big figure >.<
@Levi: Keisuke isn’t as popular as the main couple but let’s hope the survey helps Kotobukiya decide make him.
I’m a little disappointed with the figures, at least the normal shiki and akira.
So, it seems, instead of getting the pair I’ll just focus all my strength and money-power on buying the lovely damaged version.. hopefully ; H ;
They’re so evil for making it a “store only” merch OTL
@Oru: aww *hugs* I’m sure the official shots will bring out their beauty much better :)
The damaged version is a definite must-get!
I just hope we can all get our hands on him. They should make him to order like some figure companies do.
@ponytale
NOOO SHIKI!! As much as I want him to have a exclusive version (which I’m thinking he may) I don’t…BECAUSE, lol, my wallet already hurts :O
But we’ll just have to see.
@momo: Akira damage version was a little surprise, so I’m expecting a limited Shiki.as well. Since Kotobukiya has been doing that. Maybe a Shiki Line version?
Long time lurker. ;;
This is gorgeous. Am loving the detail in the clothes and his jacket. :) Makes me want to replay the game again, never did finish Shiki’s route.
I’m still waiting for the day when they re-release the military figures. *le sigh*
@surrealistic: Thanks for commenting :D
Actually so did I… I had to stop halfway for Shiki’s route too then I had to reinstall my OS. OTL;;;
I hope you get your wish! They released them twice, if I remember correctly!
OMD. The dammage version is now my priority. Bloody Akira is the best. 8)
@KOKURAN: Me too :D too awesome!
OMG they look so so delicious :D I love the definition they put into their bodies <33
Can't see the other two's faces well enough to judge them but something about the damage Akira's face looks a little off. Or is it just me o_o;
@waijuu: Look at planck-chan’s link :D It has a better view of Akira’s face. Beautiful bodies definitely XD
@planck-chan
you’re sooo right. It’ll do a major damage to my wallet.
I love Koto for making this but then I hate them for making it a SHOP exclusive! But this makes me believe that their other versions will be a standard run (which I hope) BUT EVEN SOOO, I will do my best to get them! Can’t pass it up!
The name of this figure is perfect for what will happen to our wallets/ bank accounts: there’ll be a big DAMAGE after this! Cos no way, no way I could let him pass, he’s epicly sexy! He’s also hot in front, http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/281088&ref=item%3A84812 Perfect, Koto, thank you so much for this! <3
@planck-chan: You said that right!!! Pure blissful damage. You know, we’re such helpless ukes when it comes to Nitro+Chiral goods OTL;;;
Thanks for sharing the pic! XD
@Momo
Contact me under:lucychaninjapan@yahoo.de
I might be able to get the figure for you;)
o.o oh yeahh, so it’ll be out in spring huh? long ways to go~~ BUT still excited ^^
@momo: erm yeah gives us some lead time to save $. I think Shiki would probably have a limited edition too.
Wahhh~ I definitely have to get this! Will have to use a proxy to get it! O:!!
@momo: Damage version is must-get! DX
@Iced_wine
Hi!
I might be able to get.It depends on the release date because I’m staying in Kyoto and would have to go to Tokyo. Mail me under: lucychaninjapan@yahoo.de
hmm….what are the chance of getting the limited edition akira through a proxy service?
@iced_wine: Shouldn’t be an issue I think :D
@levi
Send me a mail : lucychaninjapan@yahoo.de
You can write me in German;)
I will be doing a Shopping Service and might be able to get it.
@ponytale
I will be staying in Japan until 2013 and will be doing a Shopping Service.
I hope that the Akira figure will be released at the end of march during my holidays so that I can travel to Tokyo for one or two days(I’m staying in Kyoto).
@lucychan: Ah~ icic sounds good! I’ll keep that in mind :D Thanks! Envious of ya (ToT)
Forgive me for being one of sadist in your life Aki-chan… *bows* but AKIRA is just SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL IN DAMAGE STYLE~!! AHHH—–!!! that’s what like people said, “HANDSOME GUY WILL STAY HANDSOME EVEN THEY CUT OFF ALL THE HAIR AND STAY NAKED~” that’s simply describe you Aki-chan~ :D
@Mito: well said XD Akira looks yummy no matter what lol! That’s the charisma of his chara!
I hate limitd edition… three figures and its can buy only on kotobukiya store…( japanese store right, not the us store) -.- ( I lie in germany)…this will be very very exepensive -.-… and no releasedate…no preorder possible -.-….I hate my life.
@Levi: Limited editions are expected. They released limited editions of the old designs too.
I’m sure you’ll be able to get them :3 don’t hate ur life lol
Hnnnnnnnnng…~ Man… I think this… This would be worth dishing out some money in the spring time to fly out to Tokyo… oh mannnn. EXCLUSIVES ARE EVILLLL.
@Puchi: you planning to visit Tokyo too? I’m so envious of u guys.
They totally should spread the release of the figures, so people can save up money in between :/ Evil!
@Sug: even if they do, there’ll be other goods from other companies to fill in the gap OTL;; no rest for the wallet!
idk…
i know that this is the nature of togainu no chi,
but i dont like seeing the ukes being hurt Q.Q
@Shirokaze you’re a sweetheart. Akira doesn’t look that badly hurt XD dun worry about him lol
Oh my god!! I will definitely buy this figure!! Guess I will have to make a day trip to Tokyo next spring^^
@lucychan: must get ^^ how long would ur trip be?
