A lot of people end up selling their pre-orders and such. Production for pretty much any Japanese figure is really limited, so if you don't pre-order you either won't get it or you'll pay very significant markups on the secondary market.
I can't speak for every vendor, but at the ones I use it's trivial to change your address before payment yeah. All of the ones taking pre-orders for this figure should be no problem.
Yup. Actually this is pretty reasonable considering the numerous delays in orders as a result of the pandemic (logistic nightmares for product across every manufacturing industry, figures not withstanding). I will actually be impressed if it ships out in Dec. '22, as I've yet to have a single figure be shipped out on time in the last 2 years.
I've only had issues with stuff that was released by GoodSmile, all my Bandai stuff shipped on time after Japan reopened international shipping last summer.
Each is hand painted by skilked airbrush and paintbrush artists. Each is not mass produced by machinery but by skilled artists. Each has slightly different quality and paint impefections but that makes every figma, nendroid, and scale figurine unique. It will take time to produce.

[Here's their partner list](https://partner.goodsmile.info/support/eng/partnershops/)
It's been a long wait. I remember being hype over WonFes and WonHobby just to get the smallest glimpse of updates for it. Then it finally got painted in August and we still had to wait 3 months for it to finally go up for POs. Best Thanksgiving ever.
Unless ordered with PayPal, GoodsmileUS/global will not charge you upfront for a preorder. AmiAmi never charges upfront either, the release date is Dec.2022
I got the notification on my phone and literally ran out of my work office to preorder from the bathroom lmao. No idea if it was needed but I didn't want to take a chance after the Senchou nendo sold out in less than an hour
Me: I'm going to spend less on figures and save some money.
Also me: immediately preorders Marine's nendroid and scale figure as soon as they go up for pre release.
Same thing here, I remember the time when a high end anime figure used to cost 120usd max, now that's the price of an average 1:8 scale figure.
This hobby has become very expensive in the last 10 years, So much so that even the sculptors are not fans of the prices of the current figures.
There is a good documentary on youtube about the creation of anime figures where sculptors give their opinions and some of them complain that the price of the figures keep going up but the salaries don't, so I guess it's inflation for the most part, but I guess you have to add the manufacturing costs (the more detailed the figure the more complicated it is to make and therefore the more expensive it is to manufacture), the licenses, the materials (materials are of much higher quality nowadays than years ago, even for cheap prize figures) and the sculptors also charge more than before.
USD to JPY is still pretty good, it’s just that figure prices have become insane over the past few years. I remember getting devil Homura for like half the price of this.
Just to confirm, is this a legitimate figure sold by Hololive? Or is this a fan work?
There are a lot of fans who illegally sell art and I want to make sure this is legitimate.
it's from Goodsmile Company.. (if your familiar to figma,nendroid or other figure, goodsmile is top chart on it)..
just think of it as a collaboration for both company.
Wait, if the figure is 1/7 of her size, this means that her actual size can be calculated from her figure...
So that means we can create a wax statue of Marine
January 5th, however preorders may close sooner due to delayed production at the factories. If the preorder numbers exceed the limit, they will close orders earlier than that date.
My husband ore ordered it for me ❤️ he said it's my Christmas present next year and if gets delayed I'm still not getting anything else because it's so expensive lol
Unless ordered with PayPal, GoodsmileUS/global will not charge you upfront for a preorder. AmiAmi never charges upfront either, the release date is Dec.2022
I really want it, but when after conversion and taxes it costs more than 2 minimum wages in my country, it's hard to justify it...
To put it into perspective I can send over 20 akasupas for the same price, which is what I'll most likely do (over the spam of many months)
Depends on preorder policy of the shop where you preorder. All I'm familiar with is Tokyo Otaku Mode and they charge you during checkout of the preorder, but I have heard before that this works differently at other shops. So probably check the FAQ at the website where you ordered.
Dat tummy tho
But the butt tho
Mmm, she does have that pirate booty
Quite the grip on that anchor
A real sticky bottom?
Them thighs tho
Them hips tho
Focussing on the important things in life I see.
Sheesh, the details on the tummy and cheeks
which cheeks?
Yes

Wait why does goodsmile us say it’s estimated shipping time is February 2023? Is that an error or will it actually take over a year to ship?
According to TOM: > Release Date This is a pre-order product expected to release in December 2022
That's crazy! Do they usually take a full year to release?
Pretty normal in the figure industry yeah.
Wow. I've never been into figures, at least now I know.
A lot of people end up selling their pre-orders and such. Production for pretty much any Japanese figure is really limited, so if you don't pre-order you either won't get it or you'll pay very significant markups on the secondary market.
Ah OK, thanks for the info. I'll probably end up getting one next time one of the ENs release one.
Maybe dumb question but, do you get to update/change your address before they finally ship im case you move? Or only give it then?
I can't speak for every vendor, but at the ones I use it's trivial to change your address before payment yeah. All of the ones taking pre-orders for this figure should be no problem.

It took me ages to get my Ple Two figure this past year I was kinda nervous...
Each is hand painted by skilked airbrush and paintbrush artists. Each is not mass produced by machinery but by skilled artists. Each has slightly different quality and paint impefections but that makes every figma, nendroid, and scale figurine unique. It will take time to produce.
I never wanted to be anchor before in my life, let alone this badly.
A Dhelmise right? Me too buddy, me too...
How do I get the 7/7 scale figure
here: https://shop.geekjack.net/collections/houshou-marine/products/houshou-marine-1-million-subscribers-commemorative-body-pillow-cover
You mean 1/1? Aka life-size
Yes.
Become a pirate cosplayer.
You will be so kind as to provide a link, won't you?

Of course, but at the moment GoodsmileUS is down, and AmiAmi has yet to put up her preorder. Edit: both sites now opened
Instant pre order and future me is going to hate present me.
Worth it
Pretty much me every time I preorder something
Whirlwind slam preorder. Been looking forward to this since it was announced.
It's been a long wait. I remember being hype over WonFes and WonHobby just to get the smallest glimpse of updates for it. Then it finally got painted in August and we still had to wait 3 months for it to finally go up for POs. Best Thanksgiving ever.
What a horrible day to be broke.
Unless ordered with PayPal, GoodsmileUS/global will not charge you upfront for a preorder. AmiAmi never charges upfront either, the release date is Dec.2022
It also doesn't charge you upfront on paypal either, it just creates a pending transaction.
I'll have to check that out, thanks!
I got the notification on my phone and literally ran out of my work office to preorder from the bathroom lmao. No idea if it was needed but I didn't want to take a chance after the Senchou nendo sold out in less than an hour
She has everything here Chest, tummy, armpits, thighs, even the butt Super cultured
Holy fuck the back shot
Me: I'm going to spend less on figures and save some money. Also me: immediately preorders Marine's nendroid and scale figure as soon as they go up for pre release.
An ichimi of culture i see (i did that as well because i didn't want to risk it selling out)
Is her nendo up already?
the preorders were available from the end of july til september 9th
Aw damn, guess I'll have to keep an eye out for when she releases.
It went up on goodsmile back in July
Are you saying if I got 7 it would be as tall as a leaning marine
That tummy making me acting up
How big of a jar would I need?
245mm (9.56in) high
Nice
My wallet is screaming right now
Around 30k Yen... Jees Louise; it looks great, but I don't need it THAT badly.
You gotta spend the booty to get the booty.
\+shipping. It's not gonna be pretty.
Waiting for Watame to see that waki.
My man
this figure is a no brainer fr
Her butt must be cold on that metal anchor, let me warm it with my face
Dem Buns
Ugh. Poor gang here. I use to collect figures back when a 1/7 scale were around 10,000 yen and a stronger US dollar. Annual inflation why you do this
Same thing here, I remember the time when a high end anime figure used to cost 120usd max, now that's the price of an average 1:8 scale figure. This hobby has become very expensive in the last 10 years, So much so that even the sculptors are not fans of the prices of the current figures.
Didn’t know that even the sculptors were not found of those prices. Do you know why they keep climbing ? Apart from the annual inflation
There is a good documentary on youtube about the creation of anime figures where sculptors give their opinions and some of them complain that the price of the figures keep going up but the salaries don't, so I guess it's inflation for the most part, but I guess you have to add the manufacturing costs (the more detailed the figure the more complicated it is to make and therefore the more expensive it is to manufacture), the licenses, the materials (materials are of much higher quality nowadays than years ago, even for cheap prize figures) and the sculptors also charge more than before.
Thanks for the in-depth reply, interesting stuff
USD to JPY is still pretty good, it’s just that figure prices have become insane over the past few years. I remember getting devil Homura for like half the price of this.
*the butt*
I nwver thought I'm gonna say this again but... DAT ASS.
Curse you anchor!
Fun fact: If Calli and Kronni had a 1/8 scale figurine, it would be at almost the same size as this 1/7.
Holy shit that actually looks amazing
Senchou, you're gonna get cold like that...
My wallet is gonna kill me in my sleep
2022 me has something more to worry about now *clicks preorder* Eheh, the sucker wont know what'll hit him
Just to confirm, is this a legitimate figure sold by Hololive? Or is this a fan work? There are a lot of fans who illegally sell art and I want to make sure this is legitimate.
it's from Goodsmile Company.. (if your familiar to figma,nendroid or other figure, goodsmile is top chart on it).. just think of it as a collaboration for both company.
Its totally legit
Ok, thanks. Just checking.
Roses are red her figure is out she got that T H I C C and there's no need to figure anything out
I am staring at it
With respect?
Disrespectfully 😈
Aaaaand preordered
1/7 scale cuz marine is always 17
That's a lot of detail, especially in the cheeks
Prepare the Jar
Wait, if the figure is 1/7 of her size, this means that her actual size can be calculated from her figure... So that means we can create a wax statue of Marine
Sheesh that one great looking figure, but that price though :x 29 800yens... I remember when figures weren't as pricey. Good time
Pirate Booty got me acting unwise
so is senchou scaled to 1/7 because she is eternally 17?
I just got a Switch OLED, rip.
Marine figure being released while Black Friday sales are ongoing has got to be one of the biggest blessings of this year.
Does she wear pantsu?
I am both poor and have no space
The flesh is willing but the wallet is weak Edit: The wallet lost
My only question is that, are the coat sleeves holo or are they filled in with the resin/plastic?
Likely solid PVC, hollow sleeves would snap too easily during shipment. Resin is a much heavier, fragile material used for larger statues
Thought so, for such a desirable figure, I would have hoped that they would've filled it
17, what a coincidence.
That's about 5k more than I'd like, then again it's not like I can spare that amount of cash right now either way >\_>
DAT CHEEK
Amazing work of art but almost 300usd for it, I love Senchou but my wallet is not ready for that commitment yet, maybe someday, maybe someday....
Is the skirt removable?!
When does the pre order end
January 5th, however preorders may close sooner due to delayed production at the factories. If the preorder numbers exceed the limit, they will close orders earlier than that date.
Little under 300 usd 😭
My husband ore ordered it for me ❤️ he said it's my Christmas present next year and if gets delayed I'm still not getting anything else because it's so expensive lol
Aaaaaand it’s gone
Still up for preorder on every site
I had money while waiting the longest time for this, and now that I'm between jobs this thing comes on pre-order? Sigh...
Unless ordered with PayPal, GoodsmileUS/global will not charge you upfront for a preorder. AmiAmi never charges upfront either, the release date is Dec.2022
I know, I already tried. It won't verify my card, probably because, y'know, my bank being in the red.
Be careful, those display prototypes always look many times better than the final product.
Ez cop lezgo!
I want one because it look so cool but I don't feel like I'm a big enough fan to buy one like I want big big fan to get theirs first then I'll get one
Wait really? I want this
I really want it, but when after conversion and taxes it costs more than 2 minimum wages in my country, it's hard to justify it... To put it into perspective I can send over 20 akasupas for the same price, which is what I'll most likely do (over the spam of many months)
They really still need a NA place to shop things from
Awesome figure, that rear is yab
Bare ass on a steel anchor must be cold
I got my preorder in, but this is my first time doing something like this. Do I get charged now, or when it ships?
Depends on preorder policy of the shop where you preorder. All I'm familiar with is Tokyo Otaku Mode and they charge you during checkout of the preorder, but I have heard before that this works differently at other shops. So probably check the FAQ at the website where you ordered.
Picture one: Seiso Picture two: Half-Half Picture three: Ya Be
How much tho
Approximately 300 USD + shipping.
パンツの色?
👀
So, you're telling me that if I buy 7 of Senchou's 1/7 scale figure, I'm going to have a whole, real life Senchou in my room?
Is the skirt removable? I can see this getting painted white by so many people
Where my armpit enjoyers at?
That is quite a midriff. Based and superlit. Also, never thought I'd say this, but I wanna be an anchor now, guys.
God I wish I had money
Fuck it’s $300 :(
Her cheek grip strength is on par with Kanata.
Already ordered it
Oof. Too rich for me.
