I got serious deja-vu there with Arnval looking so much like the swan princess custom with her hair and breast plate! Loving the new boxes, they look good and seem less bulky and heavy. I'm presuming all Shinki are coming this way now?

I'm annoyed that my resolve keeps wanting to slip, I should really stop checking this thread XD

You wouldn't be able to get them directly from Konami unless you have an address in Japan to ship them to. They won't ship internationally.

They're not out yet, they're still on preorder, so the only way to order them now is through a Proxy. And the only option is to buy them as a two pack with the game for around $200. Getting them individually and without the game isn't currently possible.

It's possible they may pop up on eBay individually once they're actually released, but previous experience with game-exclusive figures (Such as Saber Lily) tells me you'd probably end up paying MORE for them that way than you would have if you had gotten them with the game. No one is going to want to order you a set of the girls, then try and keep the game to hawk because they'd never get close to what it's worth for just the game alone.

Over in the Toy Discussion section of this board, there's a stickied thread called "Best/Worst Places to Buy Shinkis." In that thread you'll find a list of "proxy" services or "middleman services." You have to order the MKIIs through one of these. If you read that thread, there are detailed instructions on how to use one. And don't worry about Saber Lily; she's not Busou Shinki related. Pol was just using her as an example of a hard to find game-exclusive pack in.

If you're curious, Saber Lily is a white-clad version of Saber from Fate/stay night. Her Figma was released exclusively with the PS2 release of Fate/Unlimited Codes, a fighting game featuring the characters of the Fate/ universe.

dang, they just to expensive, why are they exclusives? they're the main characters in this video game!!! ,or atleast if you play as them, im not sure how it works, i dont have it but still!!! they so expensive, it would be cheaper to customize an arnval trance 2 and strarf bis than this, thats not a bad idea, and so i will now go do that, i should stop typeing and do that now........
