deleted

I will go for one… my first tk fix in a long while… hopefully we see a secret drop!

So 10am hk time is 2 hours away. Wonder if it'll drop early?

I can’t wait!

would love a loper.... but will be happy that we have anew tk after so long

I will give it an hour… than need some sleep!

Loper will be randomly inserted into orders

gone are the days of F5

Bought one, hopefully the planets aligned for me and I am blessed with a Loper.

Do you have any idea what a loper might have that the normal figure doesn't?

An almost monochrome grey color scheme.

I love the new headsculpt and can't wait to see the interloper variant, hopefully I get sent one!

$50 more on BBTS plus tax and $4 shipping. Best to buy it direct.

Anyone know how long this will be up?

I expect more than 24 hours, but I haven't purchased anything since the demise of ThreeA.

At least until the 28th, that's the promotion for the random possibility of the "magic shirt" inclusion.

Awesome - thanks! After reading your reply, I wondered how I missed that bit of info, but I guess it would help if I read the corresponding Instagram post instead of assuming it was just a matching shirt sale.

I ordered one yesterday.
Never know what happens next month.

I'm kinda glad there isnt more than one colorway for this release, my wallet especially appreciates it. The Loper chase figure doesn't bother me so much that it's going to just be luck of the draw to acquire. Though the semi-excitment generated from catching a rare figure via random F5 drop has its merit. I've never really enjoyed it, because I've never succeeded in acquiring anything.

Agreed. Because more than one colorway always means I'd get the Blackest One and my collection will get even more gloomy and dark.
My wallet and the free shelf space in my home appreciates the rather slow pace of releases as well.

In the threeA days I was lucky a number of times, both with the random chase figures as with the F5 chase releases.
But it was getting harder and harder to get the things I wanted.
Through the years stuff sold out too quickly, because people F5ed a lot better than me and the sheer amount of releases made it almost impossible to really keep up. A lot of times I had to skip on releases or colorways which I wanted or doubted about getting, and regretted it when they shipped.
Luckily I was able to get a small number of these via the secondary market. Still have 30 something releases I wished I had, but they are too rare and expensive to obtain.
After my last purchase in February this year via eBay I accepted the fact other threeA toy grails are (probably) totally out of my reach.

Good point. With that in mind, order placed.

I honestly didn't think I would be purchasing any more of these figures after the demise of 3A. That seemed to be a good stopping point and I wasn't into a lot of the figures that were being released at the end. When Underverse started, I also wasn't into many of the initial releases. I was tempted by Fighting JC, but having been out of Ash's worlds for so long, it was easier to pass. I'll admit I regret that one now. When this TK popped up on UV's Instagram, it clicked with me. This one feels like the epitome of TK essence from Ash's art, at least to me.

Seems I'm in the minority in not liking this.  Easy pass for me.  I much prefer the OG headsculpts.  As I have plenty of TK's, I don't really feel the need to add more.  Especially one that won't fit in with the ones I already have.  

Can't tell from the pics, but I also wonder if this figure will have the weird bowed lower legs of the recent NOM's.  I'm still trying to understand that design decision.  Looks unnatural. Less of an issue with those baggy pants, I suppose.

I decided to pick it up even though I'm not a big TK collector. But since this is the first of Underverse TKs I want to see how it stacks up. I don't care for the UV body, but on my Noms I switched them out with basically a Hot Toys thin or medium style body and it just feels that much more playable.
I like the arm armor and the pistol accessory on this TK much like 3As Jodan. The shoes are funky interesting as well!

First video of our TK (or Tomorrow Samurai)... (In Chinese, and which offers a history of figures TK and ThreeA)

I still have trouble getting used to this new head, which seems a bit small for the body.
And, to finish saying bad things about it... it's much too clean, the magic has partly disappeared... but I'm looking forward to mine

Little fantasy, the guy makes us believe at the beginning of his video, that he offers what could be a "chase" version (grey version)

Even though I had no idea what that dude was saying, minus the few English words, his video was very entertaining.
