Ok. I see this available for preorder in AmiAmi. I have actually never ordered from them. Are they going to use EMS to US only? EMS adds an extra $40 or so, right? Hmm...

Doing some comparisons, DHL seems to be slightly cheaper than EMS at the moment. You'll get to see all your shipping options with prices after they box up your stuff and send you a payment request. 3rd option is Surface Mail which takes 2-3 months.

Still on the fence on this one. On one hand, it is probably the best iteration of Ryujinmaru we'll get for a very long time. But on the other hand, I don't have a lot of attachment to the franchise, regardless watching it on TV when I was very young. Saw a review from Toysdaily pointing out some things about it: - Really nice and premium looking, good articulation, though limited in some area due to design (head particularly). - Some droopiness in certain joints, and the dragon head inside the helmet (see through clear forehead) also droops down on his copy. - Articulated hand only good for posing, cannot hold the sword well, need to swap in the sword hand for better grip. - Display stand sucks, because Bandai went cheap and gave us a non-articulated stand that is also pretty short, instead of the standard MB stand, really limiting the aerial posing display. If the loose bits is just random QC, this will still probably be a very solid release, which begs the question "Do I really need one in my collection?" But if you are set to get one and love the franchise, good news to you. There will be more coming.

Has anyone received the figure from AmiAmi yet? I preordered it with them, but I haven't received the payment request. It was released in Japan at the end of July.

I got my invoice on Monday, but I had to email them Sunday to ask why I hadn't gotten it yet. Definitely a bit odd. I thought maybe they're having some difficulties because of the pandemic.

Thank you. I sent them a message and got the payment link afterwards.

I'm really interested in picking up the upcoming 35th Anniversary version (anime colors) of the Metal Build Dragon Scale Ryujinmaru from Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru by Bandai.
I have a lot of nostalgia for the Ryujinmaru because during 1989 when I was 13 and couldn't find a Sega Genesis in stock at any local toy stores, I got the NEC Turbografx-16 videogame console instead. I really enjoyed playing the pack-in launch game Keith Courage in Alpha Zones, from which I would learn decades later that it was based on the Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru anime.
For any of you who own the original Metal Build Dragon Scale Ryujinmaru that was released in 2021, I am curious on how do you like it? I would love to hear your opinions on what you like or don't like about it. I like the upcoming 35th anniversary version since it has an anime accurate recoloring as shown in this comparison video. But I'd like to know if this figure is well worth getting. Thanks in advance.
