>>11920338>sold out at AmiamiGOD. FUCKING. DAMNIs my computer fucked or something? I can't access to my account, it just shows me a white page, I need to po the fucking Locust before he's also sold out dagnabbit.
>>11920349I preordered mine at Nin-Nin, since I prefer them over Amiami. They tend to be a bit slow to send out the figures though, but I recall it being the case for Amiami as well so your mileage may vary. They don't have the doggo available right now though (yet ?).https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/action-figures/260878-daedalus-project-experimental-subject-b0200-locust-acridid-vermin-series-sexyice-.html
>>11920355The dog was also available on Nin Nin a couple of days ago, I guess it's also sold out there. I'm boiling with rage especially because I had so many days I wanted to po that fucker yet decided to do it once he's sold out.I guess I'll get the Locust on Nin Nin then.
>>11920362Wait, so it doesn't work the same way as with the Pureice Smasher then ? I mean a preorder window where you can get as many as you want until it closes down at a set date ? I would still hit the "Notify me when available" button just in case since it helped me a few times in the past.
>>11920368I couldn't say anon, if it's about NNG, I seldom order from there.If it's Amiami, I just need one so I usually put order, but I found out today I can't access to my account at all. I knew it was gonna have a short po window cause it was some gay WF exclusive and still slept on it sigh.
>>11920379Oh, I wasn"t even aware of the fact that it was a WonFes exclusive, yeah, sadly you may be having trouble getting it. Though quite frankly, them being available more easily in Japan means that you should be able to get them from Mandarake or other spots like Mercari once they release.
>>11920384I hope that's the case, I wasn't too fond of the dogs cause I read they're rather fragile, but seeing as they've improved their joints and gave them metallic colors made me change my mind. >them being available more easily in Japan means that you should be able to get them from Mandarake or other spots like Mercari once they release.The same happened with the Anaconda Smasher, after he was "sold out" he appeared on Amiami weeks after and stayed for a couple of months, plus he's around 100 - 120 USD on Mercari last I checked, so I hope you're right anon.
>>11920349>Is my computer fucked or something?I can still preorder it
>Bombusbee posts that hounds are on sale>Go to site to check “price drop”>33% off! Which is… 50+ burgersThe fuck were they thinking with the pricing on those things.
>>11920680Worst part is they have sort of been validated since. Not specifically because of the dog, it was definitely overpriced and hasn't sold particularly well you can tell, but since Inart did their massive price hike, I think the price for all Chinese figures is going up, the dog is gonna look standard in hindsight. I also saw mention that apparently Chinese customs may begin actually checking licensing during export, which if true, is going to annihilated the third party market and bring an end to this entire era of collecting, kind of crazy nobody is talking about it. I believe the source was a designer that SpicyPsyDuck was talking to at Wonderfest.
>>11920682*-d
>>11920611So I tried using my phone and it shows me this, god dammit.
>>11920682>checking licensing during exportthats why theyre now choose to making OC instead, good thing i dont collect 3rd party in the first place
To my understanding based on the toy descriptions the sexy ice lore is about how in the future humanity finds a giant document from the ancient past which when decoded predicts a bunch of important events past the time of its creation including an impending apocalypse.The Unkvals are biomechanical drones and the bug monsters are experiments in creating a superior version of humanity capable of surviving the coming apocalypse with them all being based on technologies detailed in the document. The Manticora was the last of those experiments to be completed, which rapidly grew in intelligence and destructive ability due to having some sort of power to regenerate/alter its biology, which caused all of the other experiments to escape, It was based on a bombardier beetle which is why it comes with a partially melted Unkval head.The Locust is either a repaired Unkval or bug monster from an unknown previous civilization.Is there anything else in the lore that I'm missing?
>>11920934Yeah the gayness of it all.
>>11920934I like this post, would love to read more Sexyice lore. All I know is that the Troy bioroids were like the beginning of what the Unkval would be. >The Manticora was the last of those experiments to be completedI'm curious now about what the powerscale of the monsters are. Ant seems to be the weakest as the lore explains they are dangerous en masse, but individually they are like a 1/10 danger lever.
>>11920934On the sexyice twitter a few months ago they did like a 10 page text dump of lore if you're interested
>>11921067Nta but I'm gonna check it now.
>>11920934>The Manticora was the last of those experiments to be completed, which rapidly grew in intelligence and destructive ability due to having some sort of power to regenerate/alter its biology, which caused all of the other experiments to escapeAbsolute based. These absolute vermin chads started the bug wars. "Morph to survive, get the fuck outta my way, you stupid cyber shits."
>>11920692Literally just refresh until it loads
>>11920934so they created another apocalypse in the process lmao classic human
>>11921352and/or self-fulfilling prophecy
Short of a reissue down the line or paying scalpers, am I out of luck on this guy for now?
>>11921551it sucks articulation wiseget a revoltech spidey instead
>>11921551It sold well which means pic related is all but guaranteed. I'm gonna buy a 1/12 plate carrier vest, knee pads, and combat boots for mine.
>>11921609Huh? It hits the most natural looking poses of any figure I've ever seen.>>11921613Yeah that is coming but the all white is where it's at for me.
>>11921551>scalpershow much is it now? i mean they dont sell much, 5k unit each color so if you really want it just buy it i guess
>>11921669There's a new listing on ebay for under $85. Not bad when retail was $50 plus shipping and tariffs.
Got my white bioroid in and yeah the joints are kind of discolored. It's most noticeable on the knees but really I guess it's on all the external joints like elbows, wrists, and ankles.
>>11921723Lol oof
>>11921723Huh, weird. No issues with mine.
>>11921723Literally don't even see what the problem is. It's normal for joints to be slightly different in color because they're not painted. There's nothing yellow here.
Holy shit this figure is finally coming out. It's been five years since the color prototype.
>>11921819>it scales perfecly with UnkvalsNice.
>>11921738>can’t see the yellow if you put it under yellow lighting>>11921801Oh you don’t see it! It’s actually normal for joints to be a different color! Great goalpost moving. Do you even have one to be doing this much coping/damage control because if not this is sad. As an actual owner of the toy, I’m telling you the variation in color does not look good in hand. Is it the end of the world level bad? No but I still can’t help but feel disappointed. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a uniform color all over the entire thing for the kind of premium figure it is and for the kind of stark and clean design they were going for. This is absolutely because of the POK shenanigans.
Apparently the Drowning Studio space super soldier guy has a scarf. Looks nice, much less generic. Before I kept thinking he was a Halo Spartan variant.
>>11921829Well, even SexyIce2019 has issues with white plastic joints it seems. Lesson learned. Thank you for you sacrifice.
>>11921831I dig the design, but I shall wait till they show the articulation video.>>11921836I dig translucent figures, but these dogs are gonna be yellow in a year I fear.
>>11921877They're chrome plated
>>11921877I don't think they're translucent, I think it's a sort blue chrome paint and grey plastic.
>>11921829>>11921877Nah, you're just being retarded and hysterical over nothing. You're imagining things. Your figure is fine, you probably just want a (you) so here you go I guess.
>>11921723yellowing out of the box....so much for that guy last thread trolling that poor anon last thread that said he had yellowing too.

He's literally me
>>11922038>comes with both gunsI'm definitely gonna give one of those handcanons to my other figures.
>>11922038I'll get him just for deckers gun
>>11921829>premium figureWhere is this stated? Or you just think sexyice whole brand is premium? Fucking lmao bruh they're not
>>11922040Finally, they made me.
>>11920934What are the dogs?
>>11922038>>11922040need a drive guy
>>11922038He looks like a good Joe.
>>11922888Robot dogs
>>11922448>lmao sexyice is not a premium brandNta but where do you draw the line for what is premium and what isn’t? A thousand dollars? Even then you will probably say>it’s only a $1000 bro it’s not premium, of course it’s gonna be a piece of shitI think their pricing and overall brand image indicates this is more of a premium brand compared to others in the 1/12 market.
>>11923182They market as premium but the figures aren't.
>>11923147>>11922888I think they're also meant to be biomechanical, but the ambusher mantas and eliminator squad hornet shows that they do have robot drones, so I guess the hound could be all robot.
>>11923613>FigScriptThe only thing I want from them is their take on the Kerberos Panzer Cop. The prototype sculpt actually looks like a guy wearing heavy armor instead of that weird cyborg the other company is doing.
>>11923783>that weird cyborgThey are cyborgs...
Dasin Model's Lion-O has started shipping, so heads up if you're expecting him.
I really like the bioroid bros, might be one of my favorite figures this year. It’s such a simple design but the engineering is interesting and I think the accessories like the specific hand and face options they chose are very smart. I also like how realistic the elbows and knees look when bent which is not too common to see on figures. I sort of wish I got a second one or maybe the gray one though I preferred the white. I’ll definitely try to get the crash test dummy version whenever they release that but I think it will feel almost like a different figure just because of the drastic difference in color.
>>11924525Not my jam due to how the hips work, which is the reason I ultimately decided to pass on it, but I'm glad you're enjoying it!
>>11924525I like everything about it except the color. I hope the Crash Test variant isn't more expensive. I definitely want that one.
>>11924534The hips are definitely odd and tricky to move where you want but I don’t hate them. I think they tried to replicate realistic human anatomy/movement which might be why the torso for example doesn’t have as much range as you would expect. >>11924554I might have preferred if they leaned more into the synth/robot stuff and had a few more subtle tampos on the body, in addition to the ones on the chest and back, as the unkvals have. I mean I don’t think it’s really a good blank base for customs so they could have added more design details. But maybe the intention was something clean and monochrome.Hopefully the dummy is not too hard to get. I wish gundamit wasn’t so inconsistent with this brand. I don’t want to use bombusbee but I also don’t want to use amiami anymore because every time I order with them, I end up spending hundreds of dollars trying to combine items to min max shipping.
>>11924155He should arrive here in 6-7 days, anyone want a review when I get him?>>11924525Yeah, I thought about cancelling but ended up liking them more than most sexyice figs. But I won't be able to ship my set until HLJ gets some affordable shipping methods back.
>>11924671Doubt that'll happen. They still want 50 bucks to ship a Gundam kit for me so I'm going to let it just sit there since they refused to refund me or close my account.
>>11924671>He should arrive here in 6-7 days, anyone want a review when I get him?Definitely.
>>11924688They're going to charge you for warehouse storage after 6 months
Anyone have the (not) Aiden Pearce figure? I'm curious to see if it looks just as good in hand as it does in promos.
>>11922038>>11922040Sweet, I hope they do Deckard next.

Telling people to get a job, you don't even own toys retard
>>11924921>>11925004I have seen an uptick in high effort hand posers and I just don’t get it. They go through the trouble of doing fancy editing and having good lighting and composition and overall photography quality but they still must put their hand in the shot. Why?>>11925050Why not add more context like saying this is an unused concept for Brunhilde?
>>11925064Because it's easy, why setup a stand when you can just use your hand. It's their toy and for their enjoyment, absolute based toy enjoyer
>>11924871Someone posted some pics on gundamit. They cut a few corners from the original, like the zipper on the shirt is just a print and its pretty small. I still kinda want it though.
>>11925183But it's not easy that was my point. Don't you see the difference between this and that stop motion and low effort hand posing? In both they do a ton of other editing yet don't edit out their hands
>>11925265gives a sense of scale
>>11925206Care to share them?
>>11925472no
>>11925475:(

I thought for sure this was cancelled, so I'm reassured to know it's still in the works.
>>11925657>blurred out handsKek
>>11925693I really don't get it, btw it's apparently pic related, 5ktoys had it listed but that post was nuked, hence why I thought the notGhost Rider was canned.
>>11925697Looks like Dorohedoro
>>11925607Mine is moving through the Chinese shipping pipeline currently. He looks good, and the few reviews I've seen seem to be positive. He could have done with a Sword of Omens in the short form, and maybe a way to hang the claw shield on his waist, but those are quibbles. Would have liked him in the smaller Captain Planet scale, but figures are moving away from that scale, it is what it is.
>>11925718Ditto, good to know I'm not the only one sees the guy and thinks of early Kaiman.
>>11925520Not bad.

I'm buying this color, tired of black colorway>>11926796Amiami, 29 October japan time. I would suggest putting the order before 23 because that's the time limit for chinese official store
>>11926816Why did HLJ already close POs, ughI wanted to order thru them and ship with another figure
>>11926837Probably only got a few stock as the only official partner for oversea is amiami
>>11926816Might get the purple one. It's a little cheaper than the romankey ghost and looks cooler thanks to the tail.Speaking of, the ghost ant is $10 off at gundamit atm.>>11926840Hmm you are probably right
>>11926816Did they show an articulation video? I'm tempted to get one
>>11927022
>>11927109Much obliged
>>11926816chinky version of manticora, cant believe theyre chinkifying chinese designs, how can people get this without feeling like theyre getting a knockoff version of manticora

>>11929451Where can I buy these cats? Will they pop up on eBay or Aliexpress at some point? Not familiar with the gacha scene
>>11928156They haven't actually made anything yet and I think "they" is just one guys. He's the dude making the Dark Souls and Elden Ring stuff that is mostly 3D printed, I wouldn't be holding my breath on this. Hopefully Inart do her justice.
