So I found this coming in June 2021...

[Plume]

I didn't want all 8 statues, so I ordered two blind boxes that are estimated to ship on 7/16. Here's hoping I get Dom. :C

I'm less interested in the other figures, so I'll possibly be willing to trade for Dom when I inevitably get the villagers I don't want!

So cute!!!

Had no idea Chrissy and Francine were so popular! I've only ever visited one island with one of them on it.

I assume they were picked due to the viral popularity of Bubblegum KK all last year. Wolfgang getting picked is the real left field choice (but a good one!).

If the theory is that villagers popular in Japan are being picked, I’m surprised Beau isn’t included yet.

Ah, so that's what happened! I received the game for Christmas, so I missed that. I was wondering why so many people on BaB were mentioning that song!

I want that Francine. I need that Francine.. how many boxes will it take

 

[Xara]

ack i honestly forgot all about these :’o. just checked and gamestop now has their expected release date listed as next month, but i’m definitely still interested in purchasing! series 2 looks great as well!

I hate when an item is listed as (1) chosen at random. I bought some figures from Amazon and didn't see that small print. You never seem to get the one you want.

I don't know about others, but no one has interest in the things I have interest where I live, otherwise something like that could be fun because of trading. I don't know if that is what makers of whatever is aiming for on paper.

Cuties!!! Though it doesn't seem like they serve any functional purposes in-game wise (unlike the amiibos). I don't understand the texture though... soft and fuzzy?what kind of materials are these made out of?

They're flocked figurines, so they're not suuuuuper soft and fuzzy. . .aaah it's a tough texture to describe imo. I have these preordered and I'm beyond ready for the second set to be released next year.

They're not functional like Amiibos, but they're well crafted Bandai figurines. ; v ;

Someone on Etsy has them (-side eyeing them saying they're handmade like uhmm okay anyhow-)

Other than that, someone who has them already would've gotten them in Japan, Japanese retailer, third party retailer that imports stuff. . .GameStop has them set for release in July and I'm patiently awaiting my preorders of this set.

 

[StarlitGlitch]

I was just at a conbini and saw them!!

They had Flick and Flurry. Flurry has been on my island since the beginning so I considered picking her up but I held strong. I need to cut down on the amount of knick-knacks I buy.
