HMO Felicia 1/4 - Page 42

BBTS is going to have a lot of angry customers if they all decide they want the set vs. a discount. I wonder if HMO promised them more but last minute realized the sell out was quick.

Hot Box from Yamato USA . The reason being, i spotted one on ebay going for a good price, a price i could no resist.

The statue stands on a black ammunition magazine. There was an exclusive, that stands on a silver ammunition magazine. I have the option to create my own exclusive

The prototype on that piece always looked good but I could never decide on it so I passed. I only own the Sorayama Commando from his works.

im thinking that HMO didn't give them a proper amount and said they were short on ultimate after bbts was sold out of ultimate. here is the initial email i got said

"Thank you for Pre-ordering from BigBadToyStore!

We have been notified that the Darkstalkers Felicia Ultimate Limited Edition 1/4 Scale Statue Set has been heavily allocated, so we will not be receiving enough to fulfill a portion of the Pre-orders. We would like to offer the opportunity to change your Pre-order to the individual statue listings with a 10% discount for the inconvenience, making total purchase price $1529.99 ($764.99 each) (excluding shipping or sales tax where applicable)."

I asked what happens if I don't change my order to individual statue. they responded that i might risk a cancellation.

that was one of the main reason why i ordered ultimate. But since BBTS gave me 10% ($170) discount on regular pieces, i had to give up the print and ultimate edition. that discount was good to ignore, each piece cost me $765 which is less than retailer price (799).

As soon as they changed my order, i saw the black version got sold out on their website. hopefully this doesn't create another similar issue like i had with the ultimate edition where they told me they don't have enough quantity.

What does the print look like?
HMO should supplied prints with all pieces.

Commando looks good. I think that was kit form only.

i don't think they revealed the print. i don't think they even revealed their last statue mai print. unless they posted some where in their facebook.

I keep coming back here to torture myself. I think she is hella cute, but I'm not biting. As much as I damn want to I won't.

Yeah, there is nothing wrong with her, but I really have to slap my own hand as thinking "and where would she go?" with my collection plan.

When Felicia arrives, the plan is to place her in with my hodgepodge gaming character section,
which is a a mish-mash collection of pieces of various scale's and game origins..

Yeah, that would be where she'd go in mine. If it wasn't for all the delays mine would be filled in nicely all around, but have several spaces waiting for pieces from 2020...now 2021...maybe 2022.

Considering her height, I won't be displaying her with my other gaming pieces. But she'll look great in my white PAX display (I POed the black version) which holds most of my "less dressed" female statues.
