Yeah the ad implies that the RAW edition is just silver colored. About which being more collectible, I'm on the same boat as you. I just go by personal choice unless there's an extra add-on of sorts.

This version will be delayed till July this year, is this Play first release ?
Delaying release and collecting money in full first is not doing good for this company eh.

That headsculpt is freaking spot on, simply looks fantastic! I don't like the painting, however, being their first time it's damn good! It can only improve from here on out.

So can these items only be ordered by Singapore residents?

That's what most of us were thinking until Yes Anime came on the forum here and said that they are going to be the North American distributor for Play Imaginative. We're still waiting for prices though. So now we wait. Not sure about Europe though.

Arg crap!

Done.

Aaaahhhh! $450 For a 1/6 scale, that's crazy.

Aaaahhhh! $450 For a 1/6 scale, that's crazy.

That's out of proportion...

When you see:
SGD 425 -> US $335

Don't tell me it cost 100$ for shipping this from HK to USA...


Also... When you compare with HT that sells their 1/6 Die cast at 310$...

Some actual picture since it's release time (in Singapore only...)

News for this????????

It's been out for 2-3 months now.
Overall, seems like a good figure (great proportions, good articulations), but for 400$, the QC is far from perfect. BUT, for a first figure, seems like a good start.
