Wave 8 - Repaints Confirmed

[Vocaloid]

This is total bs and cheap of Konami. Really disappointed in them and I've been a loyal buyer since day one. Looks like Figma wins the game.

after seeing the actual pictures of them, i really like how the new Mur looks and will almost definitely be getting one off of Konamistyle to fight with my existing one.

...er, what the hell? If you've been a 'loyal buyer' since day one, you should know they do a set of repaints or two a year, now.


On top of that, we STILL don't have any news regarding the sale of these two, AND those photos look like customs.

I consider a "loyal buyer" someone who's had 2-4 of a single shinki of every figure they've made, which I have. I've sold most because I've been waiting for new ones and running out of room. Making all these repaints is almost insulting. lol Yes, I do know about their repaints, this is more then just 1 or 2 repaints this year and the last though and lets not forget about the bis, which is basically the same thing with minor changes. This is too long a delay in anything new, especially with the much better made MMS type 3 body. They show us prototypes of new shinkis to come then throw the same old models with different colors at us as if they need the money or act as if it's a big celebration and something new and great. It is disappointing, very. And why would they have "customs" on their website then the real thing in the HJ magazine?

'Repaints' are a standard marketing practice done to make more money using molds you already have made.

I agree they're taking too long to get wave 11 out, but they're giving us repaints so we know the line isn't dead. Would you prefer months and months and months without ANYTHING?

Besides. There have only been three released pairs of repaints. In two years. Ten normal waves, three light armor waves. Over 26 shinki. And only six have been repainted. Were this some other toyline (hi, Transformers), that number would be much higher.

Personally repaints are pretty "dead" to me as well as "crap we're running out of ideas and need more of fans making customs we can hope to buy officially". MMS3 has so much potential yet they continue to drag it out, over a year. I have not bought any repaints, so yeah, it's been months, a year since anything worth it came out (Excluding Patio and Pomack which came out Feb). I will admit the chopstick and spoon shinkis are pretty retarded, and I've seen some customs that just destroy them. So I'd not be surprised Konami is running out of idea's and delaying everything. If that's the case.

Wave X - Altrene, how long have we been seeing images of her? Yes, I know she was just a custom at one point. We finally get colored pictures then boom "LOL HAVE SOME REPAINTS INSTEAD :D"

You can argue about this with me all you want, I still feel cheated and disappointed in a line I supported so well.

You seem mad at Konami for STANDARD TOYLINE BUSINESS PRACTICES. If they bother you that much, just stop collecting. More for the rest of us.

also, customs can't be compared to official product. They're better because the people making them don't have to worry about mold, plastic and paint costs, or safety constraints, or anything like that.

I already stated I hadn't been buying repaints. If you don't like my opinion on Konami that's to bad.

"More for the rest of us" >_>...

[Zyrdarya]

More repaints for the rest of you .


I wish more new ones would come rather then more repaints, I want different ones rather then different colors >_<.

[General_Noodles]

Most repaint (if not all) come with an extra face expression that standard doesn't have.
