Love him. At 18cm he'll scale with Mezco, still. I've decided to bail on the samurai-turtles, but glad I'll be able to add a B&R to my Mezco/Mirage shelf.
Speaking of which...
I'm not seeing him on 5K Toys anywhere?
Combo is all I was given, but I think it has the individual ones at the bottom (received & used the link on mobile, sorry)
I'm almost tempted to get two of him. One to leave in the samurai look. And one to make Bebop.
That link should work, otherwise it's the first item in the Featured Preorders section, or just search "Rage Toys". The default option is the combo pack, but you can select either just the samurai figure or just the accessory kit within that same listing.
This little piggy is amazing.
His tail poking out the back of his pants makes me so damn happy for some reason, lol.
How much does 5kToys usually charge for shipping?
I kinda want to get two pigs to display in both looks, but if shipping us crazy he’ll just be a samurai pig who just dresses like Bebop for special occasions.
It varies based on size/weight. My Splinter, Don, and accessory pack was $12.90. I remember my Leo being like $5. The Hiya King Ghidorah I got from them was $18.90. A single Hiya Godzilla was $9.50. The Hiyas still ended up being a couple bucks less than places like BBTS, for what it's worth.
Also, it's ... possible that I already ordered two not-Bebops. And two Mikeys. I mean, it's conceivable. I admit nothing.
So help me out here. How hard is it going to be for me to play catch up with the rest of these if I preorder the Bebop now? Who has been released already that I can't get any more and who is still to come?

Don and Splinter were recently released and should still be available. Mikey and Bebop are currently available for pre-order. Leo was released a while back and may not be available anymore, but not to worry because they are planning a new version more in line with the articulation scheme of later releases. Raph and Rocksteady are coming for sure, and likely Shredder at least too (possibly Casey), but we have not seen them yet and they won't be up for pre-order until we do.
This is very much a boutique operation, I get most of my info from three places:
The 5K Toys Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/5ktoys/
This Twitter page that seems to be someone within a Chinese factory: https://twitter.com/Waileong20/
The actual Rage/Fury Toys designer's Bilibili page: https://space.bilibili.com/626247377
Bilibili has gotten a lot more stingy with what it allows you to see as far as comments go, but most of the future info I posted here comes from translating comments on his various videos over the past months.
EDIT: Oh, one more thing. There's a separate line called Furay Planet from a company called Maestro Union. Their first release was called Crocker and is basically Leatherhead. He was designed by the guy who designs all these figures before he decided to split off and do his own thing. That figure is still available on BBTS and possibly other sites.
@cmoney thank you so much for all of the good info. Looks like playing catch up won't be hard at all.
Sweet, super excited to get this one and check out how the articulation feels.
Heck yeah. Pretty excited for this one to ship. Was looking at pics yesterday for no apparent reason (prescience?) and was really taken with the metal ninja mask he ships with. Such a cool alternate look.
Does anyone know if there's been any updates on the re-issue Leo? I missed out on him first go-around but am really looking forward to him as well.
