It's already out. I'm expecting mine to ship out Monday or Tuesday.

Final Goji is a excellent figure, You can really tell all the work they put into it! I really like the eyes on the figure, they are so piercing, just like the movie. :D
You got yours already?

Nice!

Ah, I'm hoping that pre-orders for the 25cm King Seesar, Baragon, and Kumonga pop up sometime this week!

I just got my X-plus Giant series Zaragas with the Ric-Boy Armor plates.

I can't get the chest plate to stay on. Any suggestions? What kind of putty or tape should I use that won't react at all with the paint?

Test the putty on the bottom of the foot. Use the kind that is for hanging posters.

I was thinking that poster putty might do the trick. I guess I'll have to do the foot test, leave it for a few weeks and then check it. Meanwhile Zaragas will just have to go topless. He has alot of nipples. :huge:

What do you guys think of the Real Masters Series? I find it an interesting concept, but an awful thing to import.
Do you mean Real Master Collection?

Anything that is resin cast is a bit of a risk to import. I've imported two Chikyu-Boueigun (aka Albatross) statues and both of them arrived damaged. From what I've read, X-plus and CCP resin cast statues are less brittle than Albatross, but I'm sticking to vinyl from now on.

On the last page G Robot was asking about the possibility of a new Ghidorah being an RMC resin statue. If it is then I probably won't be buying it.

Yes it is risky, I have dipped my toes in the resin figure market. And thankfully, none of my statues were harmed. X-Plus does make brittle figures, it just depends on the figure. CCP has pretty sturdy statues, from my experience.

I hope that does not stop you from buying it. I am sure it will be pretty cool, and hard to turn down. :D
@bentheman which statues do you have? Please post pics of your awesome collection.

I have a quick question because I don't know how to contact you any other way. Are you planning to custom sub disc 2 of Return of Ultraman? Disc 2 is still missing from ADC and I was wondering if it is because you are timing the subs? Thanks.

I don't really know what happened between you and him nor can I take sides, but I wish that the two of you could work things out and work together. As a very outside observer, I can never really know the truth of the matter. I hate to see two talented people at odds.

I just got my shipping notice as well. I haven't had trouble with Hobby Search so far. What sort of problems have you had besides them taking a while with preparing shipments. (amiami is just as slow, btw)

I just do not like the fact of them Hitting my bank 3 to 4 days in advance and they did'nt ship the product yet.
I know I know, I need to be more patient.

Looks like lot of friends went over to facebook. Well anyway, I've posted some pics non-related x-plus. My latest project, Frankie & Baragon resin and Billiken Mecha Kong with LED's, maybe the last resin I will do.
