No, two years earlier the first was Black Widow. Followed by Scarlet Witch and Rogue. It?s like someone at koto keeps accidentally stepping on the Bishoujo hose. So much inconsistency.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Frick! This is gorgeous. I want this so badly. The face is WAY better on this one than the Bishoujo (though I still love the Bishoujo). I really want to see how the larger scale looks. *Starts scoping out the JP stores...*

I don't remember seeing a bishoujo in 1/6 before. I dig it, tho. Might just have to get this one.

No they did Ms. Marvel (warbird) and her variant Binary at 1/6, seemingly by mistake.

Depends on shipping method.Amiami doesn?t provide an estimate until order is ready. First my cc comlany charges 3% for currency conversion which is cheaper than Paypal.
I usually buy multiple anime figures from Amiami, my latest order had seven 1/8 scale figures and it cost $60 for Surface Mail which takes about 70 days. Then there is another order that Amiami required EMS which had nine anime figures which cost $150 and takes about 20 days.

Oh ok ...so at least 2 bishoujos have been done in 1/6. Didn't know that.

I see. So if I just buy one item, then the shipping cost is on the high side. But buying several items helps to spread the cost, technically. Understood, thanks.

They have never officially released any bishoujo in 1/6 scale prior to this piece. The Ms. Marvel pieces, while a tad larger, were never advertised as such. I have both of them, and do not consider them to be an entire scale larger than all of the other bishoujo I own.

Even with higher shipping costs, it is still significantly cheaper than buying from US sellers. And sometime even if I choose the cheaper ?slow boat? method, I will get my figures before the US sellers.
EMS gets delivered by US post office while the Surface Mail Premium gets sent to handling company in the US who the puts the package in the UPS system. I live in So Cal not far from the port of Long Beach and not far from a UPS hub, so my packages usually don?t get lost or beat up. I have strangely on occasion have had my Asia shipped packages coming in a port in Florida.

Ow that you mention it, I see in closer inspection the wrinkles in the clothing and position of the foot is different. Ot sure if they started with the same digital sculpt or just started over again. I have seen Hot Toys revisit the same exact figure and change it. And I have seen separate companies base their statues / figures from the same art. But It sure I have seen the same company revisit and art design over again.
