Given how high the prices are for these two right now, and the fact they're both featured prominently in all of the promo stuff for the new game? I don't think they'll have any issue filling those pre-orders. They had the same deal with Fubuki, and she went on to have a re-issue of her own, plus a repaint.

This'll be great for anyone who missed out of them the first time around, a way to get them at less-than-insane prices.

Hopefully we'll see supplemental runs of other hard to get Shinkis. Like, say, Altrene and Altines?

... please Konami?

nice, the new parts are the previous dengeki edition's helmet, which imo looks way better than the original helmet

finally a chance to get them again :ach:

well, last I knew, Konami did this with an Ookamikakushi PVC and Tokyo Hunter did take orders for it, but they ultimately didn't reach their goal of 1,000 pre-=orders and the poor figure never got released.

So I say, contact your favorite proxy and order away!

someone on /toy/ emailed yokatta about them and he will take orders. i think he quoted about 12000 for the pair before shipping.

a lot of companies do this actually. it is a good way of gauging interest on potentially risky production. given how a lot of stock of older shinkis sat around several stores' warehouses for a while not too long ago, they probably do consider reprinting an older wave to be at least a little risky.

True true, it's understandable, it's just depressing when they don't get made. I don't think these will have a problem as they are high demand, but we'll see.

I suspect the pair being two of the Shinkis in Battle Masters enters into this.

Any chance of this going off of just Konamistyle? I'd really like to be able to pay near-retail for them again >.o;

no one really knows yet. given that they were regular releases originally, i am hoping that there is a chance that they will get a general release once their 2000 pre-orders are confirmed.
