I got my order from Boss Fight. I ordered the one in the blue full uniform and Virginie. When I got the shipping notification, it appeared both were shipped. I only received the blue figure, of course. It said I could cancel the Virginie for a store credit, but at this point, I'll just continue to wait, because I wanted the Virginie more. Funny thing is, at this point in my collecting, I'll probably sell both as I cut back and transition a little to 6".

Me too, I ordered the two that have been released but no pre-orders have been shipped to the Dio Warriors store so still waiting. Its frustrating that other collectors can purchase the exact same items that I pre-ordered over a year ago.

I emailed the creator about the new figures he showed on facebook. He told me he didn't have any. Its not clear if he sold out already or if he hasn't put them all together. I was a little confused.

The figure I received appears to be well made and the equipment went on pretty easy. I have several BFS figures and MTF and think they will fit in good together. I’m curious if you can swap out torsos and limbs. I’ll have to check that out when I get the chance. I just added one more shot of the pgv student guarding the hand sanitizer and baby powder.

I keep thinking of buying this figure, but I don’t really know how’d I would use it. I’m glad to hear it’s well done. I really want some of the other figures.

I was thinking about finding a set of bagpipes and a Scottish looking hat, lose the chest rig, maybe mod a jacket and paint the skirt in a basic tartan pattern? The pleated skirt might lend itself to that custom. There really isn’t a lot of options for skirts in combat unless bagpipes are involved, lol.

I waited another two days with no response, then I emailed him again requesting the shipping quote. A day later he sent this response: hello female body is no available now. You need to wait until about July, We will only contact you for payment after the completion of production, Since there are many uncertainties, we don't need to pay the deposit. now we will just record your needs and contact you only after the production is completed。 So, like you mentioned, I'm guessing it will take him until July to build the figures. From the pictures I've seen, he had tons of parts and there's no way he built and sold out of those figures this quick. Mostly, I am hoping that the July date gives some sort of timeline as to when the Mind Controller and Virginie figures will be ready to ship. I preordered 4 figures through Toy Locker and have received 2 so far: Female Blank (with white shirts/dress) and Amy. I am not in any hurry and I'm not worried about Wei following through. He seems to be on top of things given all of the setbacks. Jason |

Me too. It took him a couple of days to answer my first email and originally he answered that the basic figure was $29 US but he would not know how much shipping was unless he had my actual address. So, immediately I replied with my mailing address info asking for shipping cost and expressed that I could pay by PayPal as soon as he responded.
