5Ktoys now shipping for second payment Rage toys 1/12 Samurai Force Wave 3 The Crossbow master summer and Rave toys custom kit
I just have to take a step back and appreciate this sentence. I don't think anyone who doesn't collect figures would have any clue what the heck this sentence means.
But thank you for the notification, I'm now all paid up for "Likelangelo"; he looks like Mikey, but due to licensing he's not. Excited for "Really Not Raphael" and Samurai Pig "Beep Bop."
I'm seriously confused. Are we supposed to have gotten an email or something? This is my first time pre-ordering one. The other two I just bought after release. I paid a deposit and when I log into my account it just says order confirmed on Mikey and doesn't show an option to pay in full.

Ok, info dump:
5K and a few other Chinese shops like this do their deposits kinda weird. Your deposit and "2nd payment" are separate orders. They put up a listing that says "2nd Payment Only" and then allow everyone who has a deposit order on file to order first. For about two weeks, they will cancel any orders for this stock that didn't already pay the deposit. Typically they'll post on Instagram when it's time for the 2nd payment, but looking at the listing on the site now, I see they have the exclusivity period set for Jan 1 - 19, so I'm thinking they'll actually do that tomorrow. They DO send out emails as well, but have said in the past that Gmail limits how many they can do and how quickly, so it's best to keep an eye on IG. All that said, here's the link to "order" the 2nd payment (it may only show up if you're signed into your account, I'm not sure):
Actually not sure how the original poster found out about this already, maybe they're somewhere that the calendar has already switched to Jan 1?
@cmoney Thanks! That is tremendously helpful. Any idea how much the original deposit was for the full figure and add-on kit? It is asking for another $50ish to pay off the figure/add-on and shipping. Does that sound right?

The deposit for the figure and kit combo was $15, and the second payment was $42. I pre-ordered one combo and one extra figure without the kit, and my shipping for both figures and kit this time around was $12.90.
Once the exclusivity window for the 2nd Payment is over, they will put up any remaining stock for general sale, and it'll be a separate listing that will specifically say "USA Stock" on it, which will cost the full price.
Yep, paid for mine after getting the email yesterday while at work. Very excited to get this to play with that articulation. MORE excited for the Not-Bop. Hope we see Not-steady soon, though I know they're talking about the Raph next...
Not that it means much on the holiday, but I got shipping notice for Fake Mike just now.
Got the email from 5K about Mikey second payment today, though I've already had mine shipped. But they ARE notifying folks, at least.

As did I, after I manually went to the site to find the second payment listing before it was posted here, and had gotten a shipping notice already. It's still in label created, but it doesn't usually take long to start moving.
Yeah, I'm sort of glad mine won't be here Monday, because I know I'm gonna end up working late. And there's a postal holiday on Thursday for the National Day of Observance over Carter's passing, so... well, sometime next week, I'm sure he'll get here. 🙂
I got my 5K 2nd payment notice on Dec 31. After watching a few reviews on YT, I really can't wait for Mikey to show up.
I usually order this stuff from Gundamit as they offer free shipping to Canada (and the US). But I went with 5K for Mikey for some reason when I put in my preorder. All said, it was $118 cdn total ($21 for 1st payment, $62 for 2nd, and $35 for shipping (ouch)). Gundamit has him up for $109.
I've got Bebop preordered at 5K as well. I think I'll be going with Gundamit from here on out.
FYI, they've got the baby turtles and heads pack for $10 USD, and Splinter and Don are both $35 if anyone missed out on them. I'm considering grabbing Splinter.
Samurai Summer and the booster pack arrived yesterday and that set is stacked with accessories. Autumn and Spring are a bit jealous. My fig set arrived super cold. I’m letting it warm up. Gonna give it a warm bath too.
Thwipp!
Got both my not-Mikes yesterday. What else to say but that I love them? You already know I'm in the bag for this line. Only tiny disappointment is that months and months ago, I saw the teaser pic:
and had planned to hang the skateboard on Mike's back. But there's no way to do that with the actual figure, at least that I can see? Oh well!
My Mike arrived yesterday as well. On his own, he’s already suped up. With that custom kit? It’s almost overboard. I think I want to keep them looking less like traditional Ninja Turtles. They’re already pretty recognizable but not just copycat figures. They are clearly doing something different.
