Wee. Another preorders list. This time I update on the situation since my last preorder list post in June, and only from October to December, with some figure damage that comes in October from September as well. However I am unsure as to whether some figures are actually being released in September, since delays were all over the place.

Well I have to touch first on the figures that I expect at least to be coming for me real soon, either in early October (released in September) or something, then on to the preorders list. Going to December is hideous enough. I can tell you my preorder list never stops growing and I should do something about that real soon.

First, the ones that shall cometh. In fact September had so many that never materialized, I am now scared that they will come in a bunch in October. Blame La Tendo’s supplier for being slow too, I shall never understand how they can be this slow.
 

Yes. I am still waiting for mine. Insert a “Y U DO DIS” image here. Seriously. Where is she? I know she is disappointing in a way, since they shifted her face from the original sample, but urgh. Why oh why? For reviews of her already up, take a look at AkibaHobby’s, Foo-bar-baz’s, Exelica Meteor’s, and HappySoda’s. 4 great reviews of her, unfortunately Kotobukiya screwed up. I hate you now, Koto. Max Factory, save me from the faileth. Image taken from HappySoda’s review.
 

Edit: Just mentioned in a post recently, I just received her today. Picture of her taken from the second review of her so far that I know of, that of Tenra Blog’s.

And now for the rest, some of them may perhaps already have been just released in Japan. But I have not been able to confirm anything for them, thus they still count as a preorder, from September (or if not September late release, then an October release, or even November/December release is likely) till December. They who see this list will realize just how much I should start working on curbing resource spending.
 

October

This month’s releases also include late September releases, if any, or ones likely to be released in October. Previously, I doubted if October was going to be this hefty, though with the way La Tendo works, I should have guessed. And now with the delays of figure releases, I suppose it will get worse.
 

String Bikini Girl by Solid Theater

This is another one where I go, “Seriously, where is she?” I heard she was delayed as well to September…and now, delayed again to October. Totally. She was supposed to be the Figure of the Month for September too. Solid Theater should be razed to the ground. Consider that this is also actually a figure I look forward to with some amount of expectation, and you can get some sense of my grief over her delays. I wonder why they delayed her too. It better mean that she is coming out as a good quality final product, or there will be rage. Image taken from her official listing at GA Graphic.
 

Aya from Oneechanbara VorteX by Alter

Well, at least we can trust Alter when it comes to quality and finishing a product somewhat on time. And if they delay a product they at least inform people about it. Quite frankly I wonder what to do about my ToysWorks one, it still is in its box and I wonder how I can sell it off. Does anyone have any ideas? Image taken from Hobby Search’s listing.
 

November

Frankly, this month was supposed to be made up of just one huge preorder, which really is hardly a preorder since they bloody charged for the whole thing in one shot. More on this when I get to the figure.
 

Kuon Setsuna from Samurai Girl by Solid Theater

Another Solid Theater figure, and also supposed to be released in September, and now delayed again. Does this tell you something? Yes, Solid Theater has to figure the hell out soon WTF is wrong with themselves. Did you perhaps find out that milk also was a potential danger in your products? Lawl. Image from Hobby Search’s listing.
 

Human Mystic from Lineage II by Good Smile Company

Well. Consider that I never played the game before, and you might ask why I got her. It has to be, I admit, the blue. She is pretty good for a figure at least, details-wise. Nice fantasy outfit. And so she gets on the list! Image from Hobby Search’s listing.
 

Kisaragi Chihaya from Idolmaster Xenoglossia by Enterbrain Inc. (Wafudo)

Another one which I never played the series of. Yes, the blue has gotten to me. However, even before this, I did see a vid of Idolmaster before, and Chihaya is the only other character other than Azusa Miura that I <3, and hence the decision to grab this one by Enterbrain (or Wafudo, whichever name you prefer). It is hard to believe she is 14 however. Image taken from Hobby Search’s listing. A pretty recent preorder, this.
 

Takami Rin from Lyrical Lyric by Solid Theater

Are we seeing a trend? Hell yes. Anyway I did learn some facts about Takami Rin, asking the eroge master Hemisphere (Lyrical Lyric is an eroge series). Oh do I <3 her now, and so I am glad I got this figure. However she was originally scheduled for a September release, and while checking her listing at Hobby Search I found out she got delayed to late November. How convenient. Now we be seeing a trend alright. Image thanks to Neko Magic.
 

Kokoro from DOAX2 Venus on the beach! Limited by Kotobukiya

The singular most expensive figure of the year, likely. I mean including shipping, that is. This is the one I was talking about that was supposed to be the only figure of November. She costs a whopping 8,800 Yen alone, and only ships domestically. I had to ask Talim JP of the Calibur Forums, thank his kind soul for agreeing to help me order her from Tecmo’s webshop exclusive listing. Image taken from the color sample post over at AkibaHobby.
 

December

This is the only month that I wanted to have no figures in, primarily because I was supposed to stop at Kokoro (and obviously did not). Ah well. There is only one figure this month. I hope to keep it that way.
 

Sengou-chan (Close Support Maid) by Creators Labo (Yamato)

Mentioned earlier recently in a post, this is the bombshell I just had to take. Why does Yamato do the fetishes that I am interested in? Well aside from this figure being extremely moe, I hope Yamato does not screw up like they did with Ringo. Image taken from Hobby Search’s listing.
 

And there you have it, the hideousness from October to December for me. Not to mention I have 2 preorders in January (one of which I totally could not resist, and I might cancel the other since I did it via Hobby Search, it depends though). This gets worrying. So, any of these on your list too?
