Lets talk Pop Asia

Postby ZdroidZ » Wed Jan 14, 2015 3:03 pm

Hey guys, so with Pop Asia making alot of buzz, im trying to figure out how exactly it works.
Is it a separate line only made for Asia that only comes to America as an Exclusive?
Does it eventually trickle down to America in regular numbers much like pre-releases?
Or will I be stuck spending $40 a pop on non-exclusive pop asia figures due to limited availability?

I understand that exclusives are exclusives, but for example: regular wukong has been going for $40 as well as regular omamori dolls for 25+. Hanuman is currently 35+. As far as I know the only reseller has been ToyTokyo and they sell out of any regular figure way too fast. With the whole Three Kingdoms line, and Myths line coming out, it would be really annoying getting no word on how these will be sold except with random tweets from TT when its too late usually. I know pop-in-the-box was supposed to happen, but never did either.

Does anyone have any news on how these lines will be treated, im just trying to get regular pop asia ones, and getting frustrated by how hard it is.

I think Toy Tokyo is the exclusive distributor for Pop Asia in the US. But I'm not sure about this.

Toy Tokyo will be one of the few US distributors of Pop Asia.
Right now at their store they have a few selection
like Monkey King and others.

Also will be on their site.
they told me they will get a bigger shipment in a month.
so I assume few will be up on their site as well

So if we missed the Monkey King this morning there should be more in a month? Looking to get the colored set, and didn't see the email till noon :(

Cool, I can't believe I missed it but looking at the time I was busy helping the little one buy tickets to her first concert. Still deciding which one of us is going to escort her there. Guess I could also support her and deck myself out in 5th Harmony gear and pray there is wifi in there. Or maybe there will be like a Day Care spot for all the other parents to chill and wait.
