I mean, the homage is so perfect! Two identical-looking blue collar workers with one in orange and one in blue and both part of a the "good guys" faction of a race that usually takes part in good-vs-evil fights? It works so well and is completely harmless since the resemblance to Nintendo's property is only superficial (mustaches, overalls, worker hats, height difference, etc.).

I'd really like to preorder these, but I'm hesitant to order them from that site, having never used it or even heard of it before.

That site is own MMC's site (supposedly)I've never used it myself but I've heard people who've used it with out issues. And is considered trusted in the third party community. Also I think they ship from the US.

When I attempted to preorder it, the site mentioned that it would be trackable via Hong Kong Post, which sounded to me like it would ship from Southeast Asia instead, and international shipping is pretty pricey compared to domestic shipping.

Though, does one have to create an account in order to place an order from that site? I don't feel comfortable making an account for a site that I may not be a regular customer to.

I wish Huffer was more short & stubby. They definitely look like Animated though.

I created an account a number of months ago, and haven't had any issues. (I do think you have to create the account to order.) I have yet to actually order. I was looking to order Felisaber from the Feral Rex set and the fembot exclusive.

Hmm.. you're right. don't know why I thought they were from Cali..
For me personally I would want to register to the site I feel safer that way.

"The orders are shipped by Register Air Mail which takes 12-18 work days to arrive at destinations, our shipping agent will ship by either China Post or Hong Kong Post depending on convenience at the time. Register Air Mail's maximum weight is 2kg. For orders over 2kg, cutomers should split order if possible, or choose other available shipping methods.

You can track your order on Track China Post dot com when your order status shows "shipped".

Effective Oct 15th 2013, EMS has been added as an option for customers who want to pay for faster delivery."

Fixed!

(Just use the code from the url that comes after "v=" and use the YouTube tags around that.

{youtube}nq2_IoXXlrc{/youtube} only [ instead of { )

It's very simple.

You take the code in the URL that comes after the "v=" part (in this particular case, the "nq2_IoXXlrc") and wrap it around with [youtube][/youtube] tags and, voila! Embedded YouTube video!

EDIT: Ninja'd by Agamemnon.

These look a lot better than the previous test shots. They should have sent peaugh this run to review.

Easy pass, Think these things look like ugly abominations.

If I had collected Animated...

...I probably would've sold the entire line off by now. Either way, I have no interest in these.

Just got the shipping notice, woo hoo!!!!

News Credits: 12 · by **Evil Eye** » Sun Aug 03, 2014 12:02 pm

Wow, these look brilliant. I've never even watched Animated and I want these guys!

Hopefully this will bode well for third-party figures based on designs other than GEEWUN.
