Here is the Delay of the Dead (DoD) this month. Being delayed is bad, but being canceled is worse. Yes, we have someone got canned. Guess who? =(
May 21, 2010: Updated with more news
May 19, 2010: Updated with more news
Update (May 21): Oh, I got another sad news today. Someone from Megahouse got canceled!!!! Guess who this time? =(
Hi Alter, nice to see you here again in DoD! People called “Alter” as “lAter” for a reason. It’s not new for Alter postpone their figures. The victim this month is our lovely no-pan loli Kataoka Yuki. |

It’s a good news to me that Orchidseed delayed Kawai Ameri, coz I’m still thinking if I should get her or not. I love Ameri but this figure is way too ero for me to display her at home. Um…, should I get her? =/ |
||||||
This is the saddest news for the DOD today. Being delayed is bad, and being canceled is worse. Yes, Alphamax canceled this Aoi Aki figure. Alphamax didn’t really give us a reason. All they said was “because of the manufacturing process reason, Aoi Aki is canceled”. =/

Since Griffon announced the new action figure lineup in January, everybody was so looking forward to it. But you may wonder why we still don’t see any of them in the market yet. Well, it is because all of them are being delayed. Griffon said they have difficulty of manufacturing so they have to postpone all of them. At first Griffon said all of them will be delayed to June and they will be shipped separately throughout the month. But Griffon couldn’t make it and have the delay them further to July, August, and September. =( Don’t know what you guys pre-ordered. I per-ordered Tama-nee and Sasara and was hoping to get them for my birthday. Griffon sux. =/ |
GSC delayed this Black Rock Shooter Black blade Ver. once again. They changed the release date in the BRS Bb ver. page secretly and didn’t make any official announcement to the public (or I missed the announcement). Since they delayed the BRS DVD for a month, I guess it makes sense for them to postpone this BRS for another month too. Btw, I have a gut feeling that GSC will announce the BRS anime Ver. figure in mid-July, right after this Bb Ver. released in the mid-late June. |
||||||
This Soso Karin is being delayed out of the blue. Just like the BRS Bb ver. above, GSC changed her release date from May to June under the table without making any announcement. Even though this Soso Karin is manufactured by Penguin Parade, she is distributed under GSC which means all the marketing stuff and release schedule is under GSC’s control. So I don’t know who’s holding the responsibility for postpone this figure this time. |

This is actually an old news (April 28) but I just saw it today. Poor Red Sun, he was announced on February this year and said to be released in July 2010 IF he got 1,500 orders. He is only 4,000 yen (taxed) so 1,500 orders should be easy enough to be made. But you never know, he couldn’t make it in 2 months so Megahouse decided to cancel him. It sux. =( So do you thing Max Factory is still going to make a figma for him? |
||||||
god damn it!! I had a feeling that Kawai Ameri figure would be pushed back.
Yeah, =__=. I ordered her and now its a pain to wait for her….. but im not that surprised since ” delaying” is a trend right now =__=.
At least BRS sword version wasn’t delayed farther, at least for now.
Now she is… =/
Weird that Aki was just canceled out of the blue…something big might have happened in their production line or something O_o;
I dunno about Griffon though, but that’s a LOT of action figures to delay… makes me wonder about the quality of them.
Fu~ At least BRS isn’t being delayed~
Bah you should order her GGT…She’s cute and sexy and technically all covered up…doubt you’d notice the nipples from a distance. :p
What the? The same reason Pleasant Angels did to Sakurai Sawa.
How many of you ladies and gentlemen getting sword version of BRS already own rock cannon version?
me :3
I do.
Me, more is always better 😛
Haven’t pre-ordered any yet,but i would order the Kanu Unchou Figutto action figure because she’s hot and sexy;having her dress as a cat-girl just makes her so cuuute!
I have Reimu and Marisa ordered, really annoying how they’ve been delayed again. 😐 I really want to know how the quality of these will be, they better be amazing with all this waiting.
Black Rock Shooter has been delayed again, this time to June… I was sure she was the one being canceled, to tell the truth… XD;;
Yeah i noticed this yestrday on hobbylink japan. I thought the BRS Blade Ver got pushed back to may not june. What the hell is going on?
Holy crap, it was changed to June. And like you said, I thought it was only pushed to May. I have 3 figures coming in June already, gotta save some more money for the 4th. >.<
I seriously wonder, and I hope she isn’t going to get pushed back to July or something… 😐
Oh you’re right, GSC did push her to June without official announcement to the public. And they pushed Souso (Karin) to June too. It sux. I’ll update these news on DoD later. =/
Why do I feel like we’ll be hearing the same thing for the Nen and Figm vers? =(
Oh God, please, no! D: That would really, really sucks!
I’m not sure, but… I think figma and Nendoroids rarely get delayed…? I hope I’m right… XD;;
True, they are rarely delayed, but when you have approx. 20,000 of pre-orders only on the 1st day, with god-knows what the total number of orders is by now, I’m hard pressed to say so =(
Yes, I noticed when I visited GSC some days ago, I have no idea if it has been announced to the public, though… D: I hope she will not get delayed to July or something… 😐
Haha I noticed the BRS delay a few weeks ago while browsing amiami. Sucks for no announcement, but this is old news to me :/
I damn well hope the nendo and figma won’t be delayed ==;
havent heard about Tamaki Max Factory delay. Hope she can be released this month ^__^
Don’t worry, she is coming out on May 25. =D
Thats great, but i see the pre-order still available everywhere =__+. Is she that unpopular???
Oooh what the xxxk. My 1/8 Sousou been pushed back too. Gezzz that’s 4 figures i had coming in may pushed back to june.
GGT, you put the wrong link in BRS Black Blade figure.
The link leads to Kawai Ameri not BRS.
Oh, thank you for the reminder. =D
Sasara delayed to september…*cryZ. I wantz her so bad! Why Griffon enterprises..why..such an adorable figure too..
