Another “Delay of the Dead” (DoD)! This time is not as serious as the one in December last year, but still raise some eyebrows. I added some of my comments this time. Anyway, enjoy the DoD!
April 22, 2010: Updated with Yuzuhara Konomi news
April 24, 2010: Updated with Griffon Enterprises news
Alter is being called “lAter” by some figure fans for a reason. It becomes a tradition to them to postpone the release date. It’s fun to see every single figure on page 2 of Alter are being delayed. For those who ordered those 3 figures above, you will be so broken in May. XD |

It’s a good thing that we don’t see much delay from Good Smile Company this year. But does somebody curse BRS? The original BRS was delayed from Aug>Oct>Nov>Dec last year, and this poor-man-version stripped BRS is being delayed again? I have a bad feeling about the Nendoroid BRS and figma BRS… (-__________-.; Anyway, here is a side story. You know the second shipment of figma Hirasawa Yui is supposed to be shipped this month. She was supposed to be shipped on April 20 so every store was waiting for her to arrive yesterday. They kept waiting until GSC announced that she will be delayed to April 28 later in the evening. Don’t you think GSC should announce the news eariler? Their delay news is being delayed too, lol. |

Just like Alter, Orchidseed is we known for delay, but delayed for more than half a year is something new to me. What’s wrong with Yuzuhara Konomi? They keep delaying her again and again. It’s not the manufacture factory problem, a lot of figures that was announced later than her were released already. I guess Orchidseed just don’t like her that much. =/
Update (Apr22): Got a news about Konomi form Orchidseed. The reason for them to delay Konomi is because they find a flaw on her butt thigh. It’s due to the malfunction of the metal mold cause the PVC injection process leave a mark like that. They have to redo it all over again. Poor Orchidseed, I guess this will cost them a lot. |

I learn something today. A new figure manufacture like PLUM shouldn’t release 3 figures in the same month, not to mention that these are their first figures. I know it’s common for figure manufacturers delay their figures. But they’re your first figures PLUM!! Aren’t you supposed to put all your effort into them and delivere them on time? If you can’t do it, then please just release one single figure at a time, not three. It sux to be PLUM. =/ |

Oh great, Griffon decided to join the DoD bandwagon! I just saw this news today on the Griffon Touhou homepage, they’re going to postpone these 3 Touhou figures form late-April to mid-May. Just only 2-3 weeks late, it isn’t really a big deal here in DoD, LOL. =P |
Some of these figures… I just completely forgot about.
Too bad for Konomi… I said I’d get her once I saw photos (because I’m not sure I trust OS quality, idk.) but I wonder when or if that will ever happen, her release.
Orchidseed just posted the reason why they delayed Konomi this time. I’ll post it later.

Yeah, I was sure Black Rock Shooter was going to be delayed…! Oh, and the Alphard figure from Good Smile Company was supposed to be released in March, but she has been delayed to April and then May… 😐
Oh, Alphard is being delayed as well? That sux.
Yes, it sucks, I wanted to get her for my birthday in March, but now… I have to wait. 😐 As you said, I hope the Black Rock Shooter Nendoroid and figma aren’t going to be delayed… OTL
Oh no, my BRS figma, will it share the same fate as the other BRS??? =(
Oh gawd I didn’t even think about them delaying the BRS nendo and figma… which will probably be the case DDDx Say it isn’t so!
Must I clean my room for one more month? Saber, save me! Saaaabberrrrr! *passes out on the floor, saved only by a pile of disheveled clothes*
Just received 3 separate emails from Amiami… All due to delay.
Well this sucks, i really can’t afford to buy BRS in may. May is the same time that my 1\2.5 queen’s blade cattleya comes in.
So, you finally preordered Cattleya! I want her too >_<
I must see her in person, a friend is gonna get her, can’t wait!!, hope the shipping costs don’t go 70usd+ for him. How come GSC delayed Alpahard too, they better do a better job, not like the suppose canaan figure, the paint job isn’t that good for all the delays they give her too >.<
Chance is they will delay BRS Bb ver. for another month. If not, then just save your money for the anime ver. =P
Hey guys this is Todd. I finaly join up with the site.
Yeah as soon as i get her in, i’m going to rep some photos of her on my facebook.
Also GGT, do you have any idea when the BRS anime ver is coming out?
Hey Todd, welcome to Nekomagic! XD
I like your new name, hahaha. And no, there is no word about the BRS anime ver. yet.
wtf, I now know what it feels like…the pain of delays. DMC Nero by Yamato has just been delayed to June…same month Sanya comes out, argh T____T
and wow, orchid seed is really going through all the trouble to redo that figure? they’re really loyal to their customers. I bet another company would’ve just cancelled it.
That’s a bummer on these delays. Hope it’s worth the wait =/.
I want my Mercedes !!!
I really wondered whether I’m the only one. It’s not just those firms listed here. Massive delays everywhere it seems. 🙁
To me it looks like the anime figure market is in a crisis.
BOO! Plum fails to deliver. Meh I guess it won’t hurt to wait another month for Kooh.
poor OS and Konomi =__=….
Damn sucks for Orchidseed Dx
I went ahead and preordered 1\8 Yatabe Miu. Everyone deserves a chance. Also the pictures of her have grown on me.
