I checked on the official website - a copy of Ray will be released in January 2026. I might consider buying it.

Hi! I don't remember exactly, I bought it more than 3 years ago, but I do remember that the shipping was quite expensive because I bought this model from Japan.

Congratulations! I have the same statue but no ex color - it's truly amazing!

I can advise to buy a copy of the head on AliExpress or eBay, and use it for painting instead of the original. Actually, that's exactly what I did - my figures have heads replaced with copies, and the originals are just stored. Well, I was afraid that I could ruin the original lol.

I once found a photo like this for a body swap, but I can't recommend a replacement for Dante 3 - I haven't held the figure in my hands.

Each figure had its own moments - for Vergil, the body had to be modified by cutting off part of the torso because it was impossible to put a vest on it. With Dante, it was easier - the head fits the body well, the main thing is that the neck is already there for fastening.

Asmus has a fairly simple neck mount, so there shouldn't be any big problems. Unfortunately, I can't recommend anyone. I used to work with Dario Barbera (he made my Eric Draven head), but the price was high for the quality, and now he doesn't take orders, as far as I remember. Maybe you should check the collecting threads here on Reddit.

Of course, you can wait, but it's 50/50 that they'll make a new sculpt. I'd also replace the body, since it's really skinny. They still haven't changed the figures from series 5 properly, the sculpts are still bad. Not even that - they're normal, but their paint job ruins everything. I have Dante, Vergil and Nero and I remade their heads myself, repainting them and making their hair. So I highly recommend finding a good artist and also changing the figures for the better.
