(I haven't seen anyone post about this yet so I thought I would share, and perhaps get some answers in the process, as well.

Clicking on links will open up a new window.)


Does anyone have any additional information about FuRyu's release of a new Cardcaptor Sakura figure? This particular blogger doesn't appear to have much information aside from the greyscale model but after doing a little more Googling, here's what I've found so far.

Release date: April, 2014
Figure type: Game Prize
Material: ABS, PVC
Height: 190 mm // 7.5 in
Manufacturer: FuRyu
Manufacturer Price: 1575 ¥
SOURCE.


I would really love to see what she looks like fully painted. In my opinion, a really sloppy paint job can ruin a perfectly good figurine. Sadly, she's in her "Catch You Catch Me" outfit that's overly used, but nonetheless--It IS our beloved Sakura! And any new figure of Sakura is better than nothing!

Does anyone else have any additional information about this release? (I'm also still holding my breath for this supposed CCS Nendoroid, as well.) If so, please share!

Also, I would love to get my hands on this whenever it becomes available. Does anyone know of any reliable websites where it can be purchased (with international shipping and without costing an arm and a leg)? Though I fear she will be highly sought out and priced way beyond what I would like to pay. Is it even possible to purchase one since it's intended to be a UFO prize, or is it only possible to obtain one through a personal seller? Sellers on eBay are already putting up pre-orders for her at nearly $40-$50 plus shipping, but I would rather buy from a much more reliable source.

Any help would be appreciated!
Please and thank you in advance!

[EDIT]

Pre-order still available at AmiAmi!

Pre-orers also available at BigPfeiffer Collectibles! Thanks for the head's up, aumi555!

Her preorder opened about month ago or so. Here (http://myfigurecollection.net/item/183247) is some more information about this figure. In comments you can find where preorders are still open. But if you really want to buy her, better do it quickly, or else you'll have to catch her after release on mandarake and who knows what her price will be then.

Aah, thank you, thank you! Am definitely putting in a pre-order for her!

I haven't checked but probably CDJapan will have her ^-^ CdJapan is very reliable and they have SAL as shippment option which is super cheap!

I did a search for her but didn't find it in the search results. If you happen to find it, please let me know and include the link. I'll edit my post and put it down with the other website to help those who are looking to purchase her, as well.

Thanks for sharing this information with us!

I was completely focused on the Sakura nendoroid they announced last year (there is still no news since then...) and it didn't even occur to me there could be others manufacturers releasing something new!

(I deeply apologise for the extreme lateness of this reply!)

You're not alone on the Nendoroid news. I wasn't expecting anything new from other manufacturers, either! Honestly, I discovered this figure's release quite by accident. I saw a 'pre-order' auction for it on eBay by a Hong Kong seller. (Yes, I still search eBay for any rare CCS items!) I thought, "That can't be right....the CLAMP_Now community hasn't said anything about it!" But after Googling, the news appeared to not be fake. So I decided to spread the news here!

No problem~

Thanks a lot for the news about this new adorable figure!! <3

I just went to amiami moments ago and they took off the figure from their website D: There is still bigpfeiffer but I don't know them at all so I'm not sure about purchasing from them, they seem fairly new in this business...? I'm also worried about shipping cost to europe, if inside the US we are already at 9usd, how much will it be to send it to me in a registered shipping.

I pre-ordered mine from AmiAmi when I made this post. I even got an e-mail with the typical statement about nothing being charged from your credit card until the item is shipped, etc. But despite that it's no longer on the website, or at least not found at the link I had in my post above--I haven't received any e-mails about its availability being revoked...So that's a little strange.

As for this BigPFeiffer site, I wasn't sure on placing any orders with them because, like you said, they appear to be not as well known. I've ordered from AmiAmi in the past & have been very pleased with them so that's who I stuck with. But to answer your question, shipping costs outside of the U.S. is typically very high so you'll probably be paying way too much for the figure.

Hiyas, I know many people in my area use BigPfeillers and I've bought stuff from them every year so I think its a very good site to buy products from (i read somewhere that their shipping is fast and excellent). i bought angel beats stuff from them XD kawaii~ i want to get the sakura figure for my friend's birthday!

Annnnnnnnnd yesterday I messaged them and they said they sold out of them.....:( I knew I should have ordered it early! >.
