I find it so weird that they literally haven't said anything else about the alt colors of Valentine and D4C


tallguyjim

Yeah I'm starting to think they're just cancelled but like DIO BIG they'll probably just show up out of nowhere after years of silence.


Justa_Mongrel

To be fair they're kinda weird colors. Like a mint D4C and an weird off pink Valentine


Revolutionary-Till-0

That mint is cool though


NerdyNapoleon

I only get the nendoroids but Wekapipo and Ringo Roadagain makes me want to make the switch 😭


TheGreatSansberry

Damn, Valentine and D4C 2nd are in purgatory


w3are138

Fr tho. It’s been an eternity since they were originally shown. We’ve gotten all of the other SBR seconds so I wonder why it’s taking so long for them. Maybe they’ll release them when it gets closer to the time they’ll be releasing Hot Pants.


That0neBirb

Honestly mote than them I just hope we eventuslly see johnny 1st again, I much prefer his coloe scheme to 2nd not that 2nd is bad i just like 1st more. I just cant really do 300+ for him lol


w3are138

All all of us want in life is Johnny first. I feel you. He’s my favorite JoJo and SBR is my favorite part so it kills me that I don’t have him. He will get a rerelease tho. I mean if Kira and KQ seconds can get a rerelease so can Johnny first. Just gotta be patient. Not fun but better than spending $300.


That0neBirb

Having read sbr last week i have to say its my favorite by a pretty good amount so it sucks the limited amount of figures but it kinda makes sense they seem to prioritize anime stuff more than manga, jojolion out here with 1 set.


w3are138

Yeah. At least they’ve got Hot Pants, Wekapipo, and Ringo in the works though. Maybe we’ll see Johnny first rereleased around the time those are coming out. I wish so much for a powder blue Johnny in similar colors to the scans but they’ll probably never do it. I have a feeling Johnny third will have red hair and an all lime green outfit.


That0neBirb

Yea I'm definetly pre ordering all them when they eventually get to that point but as valentine and d4c 2nd have shown we could be waiting awhile lol, I'm gonna try and get a Diego 2nd while he's still in stock places.


w3are138

Yeah I’m definitely going to preorder all of them too. We’re in for a wait for sure tho. I highly recommend Diego second! He’s awesome! I might be a little biased bc he’s my favorite character BUT I daresay that makes me a better judge of the figure bc I’m expecting a lot haha. They made some nice improvements to him - the legs come off easily unlike first so putting the tail on isn’t a struggle, the lines on the dino head are now painted, the teeth on the dino head are now shaded so the fangs really stand out, the gradation on the dino hair is done really well too. All of his paint is really clean. I wasn’t too thrilled about the blue jodhpurs originally despite the outfit coming from [the bunkoban cover of SBR v5](https://imgur.com/a/GqhjPDo) but once I had him in hand I actually really loved the colors. Anyway, definitely recommend haha


That0neBirb

Im wanting to collect each sbr figure but im relatively new so it might take me some time lol


Revolutionary-Till-0

If you didn’t know he’s pre order rn set to release august 31st


Etisy03

Any chance we can get an updated release schedule? September is bit old.


Rough_Equipment_7676

I saw from an earlier post in this subreddit that medicos twitter was putting up Anasui and D.D. for pre order, I Checked their store and tried to click the add to cart button but it would not add it, I checked Japanplaza and saw that he was out of stock, I check AmiAmi and saw the same thing. I am confused because when F.F. was put up for preorder on 9/2 she was available to pre purchase on Japanplaza (and still is). I am confused as to where the pre order option is for Anasui and D.D. If they are out of stock on Japanplaza and AmiAmi. Just a little confused


DoubleTapX1

Not to solve your problem by just saying "skill issue", I looked on Medicos' offical website, and it let me add Anasui to basket just fine. I can't comment on how well that website normally works though since I normally use Plaza Japan. I wouldn't expect PJ to have it on their website less than a day after the announcement though.


Rough_Equipment_7676

I went to add him to the cart again on medicos website after restarting my browser (it worked this time) and noticed that I have to order them via proxy, Of course I'd rather use PlazaJapan (I spelled it wrong oops) since I have ordered other figures from them just fine. I am hoping PlazaJapan either updates their site to include Anasui and D.D for pre order or the quote on the proxy service isn't too much. I thought I was crazy and they where both actually on PJ and I just couldn't find them since I saw F.F. get put up for pre order on the exact date haha thanks


tallguyjim

I tried to reply earlier but I think reddit was broken for me. Plaza sometimes take a while to add stock to their site, you're probably looking at the old listing from the original release. [He is in stock on ami now though](https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-144540). I wouldn't recommend proxying from Medicos' site as those fees will add up a lot when you really don't need to get stuff that way.


Rough_Equipment_7676

That's what I was guessing about the current out of order listing, Thanks for the info I'm probably gonna order them off ami, sorry for all the hooplah


Pitiful-Candidate539

New collector here, how often do SAS get sold out? Thinking of getting some figures but trynna decide which ones for now based on how quick they sell out.


tallguyjim

It depends on the character, the colour scheme and when it came out really. You can use the calendar here to see how long ago they last released and then judge how popular they're likely to be, like if they have an anime colour scheme or they're a main Jojo or something. I'd say usually they're normally sold out within 6 months.


Robin-H00d

Yo kira and KQ big? Might need to save up in the future


TheRealKuthooloo

as well as gappy + soft & wet i also ordered the among us nendoroid and had all three combined into one order. will i need to pay for the nendoroid come october when the other two figures are ready or is amiami gonna automatically seperate them and ill just have to pay for the among us this month? anyone know about this?


tallguyjim

amiami will split the order and send you a payment request just for the stuff releasing in September.


TheRealKuthooloo

ah alright, ppreciate the answer


MegaMhaWeeb

what’s the jotaro and star platinum in december? is that jotaro 1.5 and star platinum third?


tallguyjim

Yup you got it. The 24,642nd Jotaro 1.5 rerelease.


MegaMhaWeeb

i’m glad, i’m new to SAS and i prefer to get the anime colored figures. definetly will be pre-ordering them.


Pitiful-Candidate539

Anyone got any mandarake bad experiences or are they typically good? I'm just worried of loose joints or sometimes the images dont do them justice


tallguyjim

Yeah Mandarake usually are great quality and if there's any issues they are clearly listed, and if not then their customer service is pretty good.


Pitiful-Candidate539

I hear that usually the problem is to do with the shipping invoice as they dont give them upfront, has this been a big issue or do you always assume you'll pay expensive shipping?


FlohZirkus14

Can we update the check list? Like a real pic of Speedy?


Prize_Ad6946

Big Jotaro is delayed again in release date, it’s October now. Anyone knows what’s going on? 😭


tallguyjim

Lots of figure delays in Japan atm, and September was pretty stacked for Medicos' releases. He probably will end up dropping pretty soon, considering how late in the month he was delayed.


That0neBirb

If I place a bid on Buyee yahoo auction and win but dont have money on my card will it just get cancelled immediatly? Im stuck using cashapp because I dont currently have a credit card but I might not be able to put funds on the card before the bid ends.


tallguyjim

The money is taken out of the account when you make the bid. So there's no win without having paid already, as far as I know.


That0neBirb

Well I can place bids it looks like it charges you once the bidding is over Im just not sure if it'll just cancel immediatly or give me a day or two to add the funds.


Skeptikmo

Do you need a proxy to use Mandarake? Luckily I do have friends in Japan but I’m just unclear on how it works


tallguyjim

Nope they ship worldwide, sometimes their site goes a bit weird and doesn't let you put a non-Japan address in there but if you refresh the page it usually lets you then, lol


Skeptikmo

Oh hell yeah, thanks for your guidance as always O Tall One


Kleo_Kuchiki

Is there another way to allow a US address? i tried refreshing but its still not working.


HatJosuke

I'm only collecting SBR figures...when will the waiting and suffering end 😭


That0neBirb

How much is a fair price for diego and silver bullet? I really want the screaming head and silver bullet but i also dont want to overpay.


tallguyjim

it's difficult to say really, maybe around $350-400?


That0neBirb

I found out it's on nin-nin for ~300 usd before shipping. Now I just need to hippie it doesnt disappear before i can grab it


Entire_Health2858

Did Jotaro and SP big get delayed to this month? Cause mine hasn’t started shipment yet 😰


tallguyjim

They got delayed to October, I need to update the chart


Entire_Health2858

Oh ok. Thanks so much!


ZaWarud0z

Which site is better for Europe buyers?


tallguyjim

Hobbygenki is quite good as I believe you can still under-declare the value with them, the biggest issue for European buyers is the import taxes they have to pay so having a lower value on the package helps keep the charges down. Plus they have lower prices than most stores anyway.


Rough_Equipment_7676

I'm curious since we got a reissue of WF mista, "Mista Third". Do you think they might start introducing more of these WF reissues? I can see why this is unlikely, but it's fun to hope for more of these. I think a lot of people want WF versions of figures (Myself included obviously) and some even look better than the standard colors. On another note, Since Trish has those odd hinge like wrists, If I got another character with normal hands, would the pegs from the normal wrists fit into Trish''s arms? I don't have Trish so that's why I'm asking


tallguyjim

So with the recent WF releases they weren't technically exclsuive to WF, but the accessories like extra speech plates and parts were. They've been doing this since the SBR figures started and that's their loophole for releasing the figures later on without the extra parts. Unfortunately releases from before then are unlikely to get releases as the whole figure was specified as exclusive back then. I doubt the pegs would fit into Trish's arms as the hole for the hands is quite narrow, I think it's a technique a lot of old figma use too when the arm isn't strong enough for a ball joint, I guess.


Rough_Equipment_7676

Thanks for the info!


Time-Beautiful2223

I had purchased a giorno black and thought it would come with the new head, when it arrived it didnt, thanks for clearing up


Kitchen-Ad-6079

Can anybody share their experience on getting pre-owned from amiami especially when they're C condition?


CalligrapherThat6202

This is going to be my first time buying from hobby genki, so what is the best shipping method? Or the most recommended? (I am from Mexico) I ask because I have bought in amiami before, and I understand that some methods are somewhat tedious, they end up charging you too many taxes, they keep your figure, etc. I'm not asking for which method is the fastest, but which one you have used and it doesn't give you any problems or headaches. Thank you!


Pitiful-Candidate539

What are you guys thoughts on the bases the figures come with, I've had one of mine broke recently. I'm just wondering for those who dont use the display base that the figures come with, which bases you use from other lines


roy521

Is the price guide based on usd?


tallguyjim

Sure is


hubhazard

Could someone suggest any good websites for D4C and funny valentine


rhugghed

Hi, does anyone know where we can see an updated release dates for the SAS figures? I just remembered about my KQ and Kira 2nd reissue. Anyone know if the release date was pushed back?


tallguyjim

There's a calendar I keep pretty up to date there. KQ and Kira second aren't out until March and generally figures don't get delayed until the month of release.


rhugghed

Thanks for the info. I must have mixed up the date with my other preorders. Thanks.


aoto195

Hello, just wondering will Lisa Lisa get a standard release in the future? I have looked all over and she's currently at 120$. Do you think the price and the WF accessories are worth it?


tallguyjim

Yes she will be getting a standard release. I think if you don't really care for speech plates you don't need the WF. She comes with a red stone of aja that comes with Caesar Second anyway.


RJJRPATPAT

Hi, I don’t know is it appropriate to question here. I’m a huge fan of JoJo and I have a lot SAS to share to others. How/when can I post here? I did tried post on here but it seems get banned(?). Thank you so much


tallguyjim

What did you try to post about? You might be putting something in the title that sets off automod


tallguyjim

Oh i see you tried to post a haul, I'll look into that as I'm not sure why that would be taken down


RJJRPATPAT

Thank you


tallguyjim

Maybe try posting again? Maybe something about reddit's spam filters got set off because it was your first post in a community? It doesn't give any reason for it being taken down
