Fwoosh Toys

Has anybody in the UK been successfully able to order Kagerou? 

I had no option for a UK shipping address through the preorder link on the fwooshtoys site so trying to complete the checkout process just stalls, and when I emailed through the Shop app that handled my Jubei order I got no response so I commented via Instagram but was told there’s no uk distributor so to order direct from them, which is either me not explaining the issue properly in my first comment or the person replying not understanding the problem - I’ve added a second comment there to clarify the issue but am wondering if I’m the only one experiencing this?

It was so simple with Jubei as there was a second purchase link on fwooshtoys that was marked as EUFwooshtore which directed me to the Shop app and I could checkout fully, although it did charge me the full amount at that stage long before the funding window had elapsed which was a bit of a surprise.

Is there a final word on The Consumed? They mentioned there might be an eleventh hour reprieve for it but I haven't heard anything since.

Full credit to the fwooshstore  for getting this resolved in just a few hours but this was a far than perfect experience getting my Kagerou order in.

Unlike Jubei which worked out at £58 + £19 for shipping for a total of £77, Kagerou was £50 + £49 shipping for a total of £99...

The response to my message on Instagram from the fwooshtoys account was "For now all future orders will ship from the US. We currently don't have the EU order volume" which makes me think the guys kinda undercharged on the Jubei shipping to folks like me and lost out by going through NordPost, but if the baseline for these is going to be near £100 a figure and I guess more for characters like Tessai, then I don't imagine the European order volume is going to ever be there.

And both times I got charged the full amount immediately off my card even though there's a preorder window in place for whether these will fund, and this is even though I chose the Shop payment function which offers installments, but nope, charged the full amount immediately.

I am of all people so very in for this line, I've been loudly and probably quite annoyingly asking for Ninja Scroll figures since I first joined Fwoosh back around 2010, but this is an inconsistent customer-side experience and I fear going to be absurdly expensive and force me out past these first two characters.

@red_ogre I'm wondering the same. My preorder on BBTS is still there, but the last word I can find about it was from 5 days ago and it was "still waiting" on Instagram. 

Fingers crossed, though. 

So Fwoosh is now doing a pre-sale on a slightly stripped down version of the black ninja for 25ish dollar bills. But if the pre-sale hits 1000 units, the figure will get all the shiny new articulation that was supposed to go into the yellow ninja demon that didn't end up getting funded.

Here's the thing - wishing nothing but the best for this and with no shade intended here at all - I can't really get behind this right away to get it off the ground and help hit that number. Specifically because I absolutely do not want or need another regular black Fwoosh ninja on the old body. I have a bunch of those. I'd be interested in buying the new body, yeah - absolutely.
But if they don't hit that 1000 units, then I'm just stuck with another copy of a ninja I already have, with none of the upgrades I'm excited about.

If Fwoosh put up a pre-order for the black ninja with the new articulation, specifically, then I would probably go in on that depending on shipping costs and stuff (I'd prefer to do it through BBTS for shipping cost reasons). I'd be even MORE inclined if the upgraded ninja also came with better swords because, as I've said many times, I really dislike the AI swords.
Ultimately, I want the upgraded ninja, or nothing. I don't want to buy in to a 'maybe this, or maybe that' situation.

I'm really excited about the possibility of the upgraded ninja body - the enhanced articulation would really put them over the top. Like KD I already have a ton of these guys in black and red, and a few in other colors, so I'm not sure how many I want to order if the we run the risk of getting them on the original bodies. But I'm definitely in if they're getting upgraded!

@theknightdamien I can probably pick up another black ninja or two, though I agree I'd rather have the new articulation (and I would like different swords). Fwoosh said on Instagram that they're still trying to make the Consumed happen, and I can only assume that is dependent on this being successful. I'm fence-sitting a the moment because November and December were pretty pricey months for me, so we'll see how I feel (and how the campaign is going) at the end of this month. 

I do think the paired down ninja is a good price though. If folks haven't gotten them yet, Id hope people will hop on now. 

The price is really good. I have 13-17 FWOOSH ninjas in various colors already. Even at a good price, I don't need more.

I like the AI figures I have but 40 quid postage just kills this stuff for me.

...aannnnnnd then they show off the smoke ninjas.

I wanna get the Drunken Master figure from fwoosh. missed out on it when it came out.

I wondering if they will post a progress scale, kinda interested in ordering, but I dont know if I will commit just yet.

@spongyblue You'll probably just have to wait for sporadic (and depressing) updates on instagram

Looks like the pre-order page has a counter, I don't know how up to date it is. It currently is at 31 of 500.

Sooo, skeletons are finally supposed to be shipping, I guess?
