I've already got requests to buy Digivices for my sons, who are all young adults now. I won't be surprised if I get some figure requests too.

Shocked Well, there goes the rest of my Christmas money. Would be really helpful if the site was in english.

Actually, figures for Taichi, Yamato, Takeru, and Hikari have also been announced. And though there's been no formal announcement, it sure would be weird if Sora and Joe were left out.

Also also, there have been glances of a PicoDevimon model at a hobby expo, but no formal announcement there, either.

Actually, there has been:
http://myfigurecollection.net/item/269739 and http://myfigurecollection.net/item/269705.
The announcement for the final four came a few months ago at an event. The picodevimon is included with Takeru http://myfigurecollection.net/item/237935 If anyone is interested what they all look like together: http://s1.tsuki-board.net/image/hIE1417229510.jpeg

Oh, this is pretty cool. The show was pure cheese (but I continue to enjoy the Mamoru Hosoda directed movies to this day), but this would be pretty neat to get. I'm more of a plush person though, and Digimon plushes are hard to come by!

Does anyone know if these are just exclusive to Bandai's site? Tai, Matt, TK and Kari were available on other sites (AmiAmi, HLJ, etc) but I haven't found a listing for Mimi (or Izzy)

Mimi's always been my favorite, so I really want that figure, but I can't shop on Bandai's site without a Japanese buying service...

Yeah Mimi and Koushiro are Japanese exusives to 2 websites which need services...

I need these figures but not wanting to use a middleman, worried that something might screw up (I've heard stories). Wish there was an easier way to get them Sad Some of the nicest figures I've ever seen.

Meh. Rather have Digimon Tamers figures since Tamers is way better then Adventures. Evil or Very Mad

$49 for a 3-inch figure? That's utterly horrible. Those new Digivices are insanely expensive as well. They are really gonna try and suck the cash out of folks. Not me though!

The thing is that this is such a common business practice (charging a lot for something small) that I don't think a lot of Japanese companies really want to bother making it cheaper.

I won't lie those are some really nice figurines. The crafting job is really good.

Well, you never know....the final product may be much lower in quality than those prototypes.
