Amazon has begun to CANCEL Tamashii Nations Figuarts orders. Rumors abound as to why this is. We've theorized unreliability of shipping dates with Bluefin/Bandai to Bandai-Tamashii's new "pre-order policy". They've already cancelled ALL Ultimate Gohan and Warrior Awakening SSJ Goku orders. You might want to pre-order SSGSS Goku somewhere else as a back-up. The new Preorder policy doesn't apply to SSGSS Goku or Golden Frieza, so those are relatively safe to have ordered from Amazon. Anything else though, not so much. Which is a huge loss for Tamashii Nations/Bluefin.

Anything else though, not so much. Which is a huge loss for Tamashii Nations/Bluefin. I like to think so too, but considering that Amazon has cancelled orders on Ultimate Gohan who was possibly part of the "old" pre-order policy...that might not be the case. We've already gone past Amazon's "estimated" delivery dates for Golden Frieza and I got the notification to "approve" the amended shipping changes. I could foresee Amazon cutting free of Golden Frieza and SSGSS Goku as well. I think they might be very well done with Bluefin and Bandai-Tamashii. I think this new pre-order policy combined with their ever-shifting delivery dates don't appeal to Amazon any longer and fit their business model, so we might see them not carrying Tamashii Nations first-party anymore.

NYCC2015 Nice catch! Can't wait for mine to come in from Toyz. I see there are already scalper idiots on eBay selling them each for $100.

Awesome! I love that gi! I think I'm going to cancel my order for Freeza from Toyz, and order a second Goku. I ordered them together though, so I don't know if they are going to make me pay the cancellation fee on both of them.

They didn't start charging the cancellation fee until like July 15th or something if I recall, any order made BEFORE then, there is no fee.

I also like the gi and how the figure as a whole came out. Inaccuracies aside, it looks much better than the version shown in the promo pics.

drowningrabbit Oh, really! I ordered from Toyzinthebox, and I think it was in April. I bought them the second they came up on their site. Have you cancelled before? I didn't see any form, so I was just going to send them an e-mail and ask them if they could cancel the Gold Freeza part of my order (I'll give them the SKU number). It would be cool if they just let me exchange it for another Goku, but I doubt it, since it's gone up a couple bucks. Gold Freeza looks great; its just that I want to have a display with SSGSS Vegeta and Beerus, and then another one with Goku and Vegeta in their base forms.

According to those pics, the gi is looking to be more orange than red. Hopefully it's not the lighting cuz if so, he looks really awesome. Is it just me or does Frieza not look as puny as he did in that review video? He actually looks to be decently scaled. Nice catch saintren!

I think Freeza looks about the same to me, but I thought he looked good in that review. It actually looks way better than the original Freeza sculpt, and I love that figure! Plus, original Freeza cost a lot more than Golden Freeza (You got more accessories, but I never even take those out of the box. Even though it wouldn't be accurate, I wonder how it would look repainted white.

Guys,
I'm at NYCC. I didn't wait in line to get these figures because I can wait for them but they certainly do look fantastic in person.
Goku's blue hair has some subtle shading and a metallic sheen to it. The tunic is slightly more orange but unfortunately not as movie accurate or as orange as it should be. I'm really impressed with how it turned out and I won't be surprised if we see the blue SSJ God hair turn up again for a future SSJ Goku redo release.
