Looks like it's a "if we get 2000 preorders by this date, we'll do this!".

Where do I sign?!

From the mentions of their 'normal' helmets, I'm guessing they've fixed the problem with the squashed pegs from the first time around manufacturing these girls. Something I'm certain about, though, is that the tires on their armor have been changed from hard plastic to rubber.

OMG, yes! Just what I've been waiting for! A re-release of Ach and Yda! Thank you, God!

good, can finally pick up an Ach.

any idea if this is going to be konamistyle only, or if once they get their 2000, it will be opened up to regular retailers as well?

...they were made of hard plastic? *blinks at his Ach, whose tires are... softish.*

They're likely using the retooled Stradale molds; the Stradales don't have any issues with the helmets not functioning properly.

i'm asking the same thing, i've been eager to get an ACH since... forever??

Wait, so these will be reissues with new bonus parts? That is, if they get their 2,000 sales.

I hate when Konami does the "if we get ____ amount of sales by ___ date" but... regardless I think I'll order O_O because do want. I will be bummed if they don't get released though.

So, since these are still only "maybe" releases, are proxy services even taking orders for them? I'd love to give them +2 to their 2000 preorder count. (or is it +1 for each...?)
