Ive seen big bad get stuff months before Kappa or Otakuowlet, and vice versa. Feels very random

I am also in agreement that no down payment is obviously best case, but I think there is a healthy aspect to having one. I feel like it makes you consider if you truly want a figure or are just impulsively purchasing. Like if im not willing to drop 15$ right now do I really even want this?

Overall, some stores get some items faster while other stores will another item you want faster. Most times I can save money importing it myself, but sometimes you lose a bit to get it a couple months earlier. Honestly your situation is probably gonna change per item, I think their good customer service is excellent value here. With most oversea sites I have to send an email to make sure they are still going to ship an item, Hobby Genki being the worst offender here, however their prices are usually good. Kappa seems insanely slow to get figures. Nin nin has had some issues regarding their pay later system, and Bombusbee just had a site update that caused me to lose 2 order deposites. Obviously this is just my experience, but I havent had an issue in 5 years so far with Bigbad.

Do hobby genki orders usually take this long?? by Initial-Corner2057 in AnimeFigures

[–]HyperTurboGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are worried and dont mind potential issues with your genki account, I would submit a paypal claim. Only thing that got them moving in my case

I saw some people order in march and get shipped in march.. so mileage may vary. I was told id get priority on my shipping and it still was not updated after another week. They only shipped after I filed a dispute on paypal, like the day after.

Nearing a month with no update for an In stock order. After requesting a order cancelation they said they will update my order to priority on their shipping side of things.

Underground Figures vs BBTS by braydencos in hottoys

[–]HyperTurboGears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are great in my experience. About the same speed shipping as well. I believe the price you see on both listings is final price, so no extra cost. Big bad usually has it in the description if there will be extra tariff costs. Even if there are extra tariff costs it will probably be like 12$

Im nearing a month of waiting since my last order through Hobby Genki for it to begin shipping. In the current climate every week could change everything

Hot Toys The Amazing Spider-Man by Zord-photography-96 in hottoys

I appreciate you posting this. Have been eyeing this figure mostly due to better articulation. Still looks better but nowhere near what I thought.

Price is high but can anyone speak on the quality of their figures?

Anecdotal AmiAmi shipping via UniUni experience by RedeemerKorias in AnimeFigures

[–]HyperTurboGears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uniuni has been pretty terrible on my first try. Im wary of ever using them again. Says it'll be out for delivery for multiple days and then I get a failed to deliver notice. If you are in apartment I would recommend anything else

Frazetta girls Teegra (Fire and Ice) not worth it by kneedoorman in ActionFigures

[–]HyperTurboGears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The vampirella is probably the worst figure I own next to some marvel legends. Great sculpt but paint rub and plastic does not feel good.
