The Delay of the Dead (DoD) comes once again! For those who think we don’t have any figure is postponed this month, you’re so wrong. lAter and Evil Smile Company had never disappointed us~!
For all the figures in DoD this month, most of them are being pushed to July. I’ve only pre-ordered the Soso by Penguin Parade so it isn’t really affect me much this time. But for those who are really tight on July, good luck. (-______-.
Here is Alter, the King of DoD. We *only have 3 figures being delayed this month, they’re Clalaclan, Sanya, and Senhime. Being delayed for only a month isn’t really a big deal for Alter. Sanya and Senhime actually have a release date this time. I think Alter is improving! Let’s hope that we don’t see Alter next month. |

With so many figures being annouced every month, I guess it’s normal to see Good Smile Company in DoD everytime. I’m kinda suprised to see this Saber Lily here. This is just a stripped version of the previous Saber Lily ~Distant Avalon~. All the parts and stuff should be there already. I wonder why they need to postpone her. Oh well, they delayed the poorman version Black Rock Shooter two times too. I guess it doesn’t really matter if they have released the item before. |
It’s really funny to see Mio here. She had been released in February already. The June release is supposed to be the second shipment. So 4 months is still not enough for them to reproduce that something has been released? Or it’s just their marketing strategy? |

FREEing don’t have much figure release to begin with, but they still can’t manage to deliver their figure on time? =/ |

Seems like our new figure manufacturer Penguin Parade still have problem with their product schedule. I feel so bad for them that they can’t release her before Zigz Toy announce their Marvelous Model Soso. I wonder how many people will skip her and go get the Zigz Toy one instead. =/ |

Not surprised with Philias delay lol. Hope we wont get another delay of death lol
ah good that I’ve ordered none of these ;D
I hope they won’t delay my two orders which will come out in July
im sad T.T reservations are closed at hobbysearch for the figma Mio. im on mailing list… i think i may have to get it at another site for like 600 yen more T.T
I’m curious about something…
How come it would affect you all if too many figures got delayed to the same month?
When ordering online, lets say 3 figs, and all 3 end up on the same month, you’re grand total will be rather large than pacing your budget over 3 months, no?
(not applicable to adults with adult purchases)
Seriously, if you plan out your budget, you should have no PROBLEM with delays. You are working with the same budget, but instead of paying for one item this month you pay it in a later date. Doesn’t mean that you are paying more or less, its the same amount. The only problem I see are people who think “Oh DELAYED, I get to order something else with the fund and worry about the delayed item later!!!”.
And a lot of us have set a budget limit each month for figure. It’s not like we don’t have the money, it’s just that we don’t want to spend too much on figure in a single month.
I do feel bad if I spend over $300 a month of figure. =(
lol man.. ur budget is 299 per month for figures??? wow T.T
300 is really little! A normal PVC figure is around 60-80, figma and Revoltech are around 30-35, prize figure is around 17-20. You can’t buy much stuff with 300 these days. =/
And You don’t want to know how much HentaiZombie spend on figure every month! X(
Ah… Now I understand.
I myself is the type that buy only figure that I wanted so it doesn’t matter to me whether they get delayed or not.
I only have problem if they got canceled. 🙁
In fact… usually it’s a good things if they get delayed because I gain more time to think about buying that figure or not.
Even though i have a preorder budget of around 1000 Aus to 1500 Aus a month. Delays even effect me. Like this years past May for example, i had a thousand dollars worth of preorders coming up which was fine with me, but sooo many things in may was pushed back i end up only spending about 500.
And since i already had preoders in the upcoming months i had to start canceling items just so i could get under that budget. So what i’m trying to say is that i miss out on items that i could afford because of delays. Which really gets under my skin.
1000-1500 AUD? oO
Now I see why GGT said “You don’t want to know how much HentaiZombie spend on figure every month”.
Yeah obviously i’m alittle obsessed with figures.
Sanya’s delay is actually quite nice, I’m broke right now e_e
Oh yay, Saber got pushed back. >.>
I didn’t know Teana Lanster was in Shining Wind. xD
Alter’s DOD is nice as i can have more time to get my money ready for the release.
Teana link needs to be fixed.
Fixed now! =D
Stupid me. I actually messed up all the links on the “date” line. =P
On the Alter list, “Odin Sphere – 1/8 Mercedes Alter Ver PVC Figure” was slated for release at the end of June after being delayed at least three times has now been pushed all the way back until the end of October. Major Bummer.
Delayed for 4 months isn’t so bad.
Our winner on DoD is the Yuzuhara Konomi by Orchidseed. (7 months, from Nov 09 to Jun 10)
The runner-up is Figutto! Kusugawa Sasara by Griffon (5 months, from Apr to Sept)
Well considering it had already been delayed from its original release date to the end of April to the end of March to the end of June and finally on to October, it just keeps getting a little bit farther out of reach each cycle.
Okay it started in February. https://www.nekomagic.com/?p=7739. Regardless that feels like a lot of waiting.
FYI: the link for Shin Koihime takes you to the Saber page, linked earlier in this page.
Corrected now! (@@.
Hopefully no more mistake now.
Excellent! Now my plan for world domination may proceed! *Cue dramatic theme song*
