If there is a Reika or even a Koyuki plushie, I will give these people my money. But I highly doubt they'd sell well since most of the fandom still hate the female characters automatically. Hmm, I don't know the Finnish fandom, but I think I remember there are a lot of female Ginga fans in Finland? If this is true, a female character plush MAY not be that far fetched. Yep, most of us in Finnish Ginga community are female. Many of us have been annoyed because there isn't much female characters and almost all females are weak and helpless. But quite many likes female characters like Koyuki or Reika (I don't because they're so helpless lol) so it would be possible that there would be female plushies. I would love Lydia plushie! Hmm, I don't know the Finnish fandom, but I think I remember there are a lot of female Ginga fans in Finland? If this is true, a female character plush MAY not be that far fetched. Also, we should get more pictures tomorrow! And pre-orders start on May 6th. Considering the quality and low price, I wouldn't be surprised if the first batch went out of stock quickly. So 6th of May is the batch only for Weed and Hougen, right? Yes because there haven't been any other plushies released yet. I'm going to be a middleman for few people in Ginga Board and I thought I could take a few more orders if someone trustworthy would like to get a plushie or two for himself! I don't know how much they'll cost with shipping yet but I'll find out that when pre-order starts. Each plushie will cost 35,90 € if there isn't any changes about the price. But I have to mention that I'm not sure if I can make all orders at the same time if there is lots of people buying them too. I don't know how much plushies they have in stock for pre-order so I think it would be possible that stocks can run out before everyone has made their own order. But PM me if you want to make an order!

Nah, Reika is shown fighting with Ouu like Cross did in the manga and Koyuki takes good care of her brother and sister and survived being struck by lightning. Plus they have likable personalities and both have given Weed good advice and development in his leadership is why people like them as characters, but I get why people also don't like them, same as any characters in the cast. A Lydia plushie would be awesome, too . I'm just hoping we get more manga-only characters now that Finland can read the series and know who they are so we don't just get the standard anime characters that were made in the Japanese line and figurines. I'm really wanting a Sniper plushie

These look so cute!! I'm really glad there's new Ginga merch coming out- it's so hard to find places to buy figures or toys for an affordable price.
I hope they have a Kaibutsu plush in the works... or Sniper! If Hougan is getting a plush toy there's really no limit, I think.

So we might get new stuff soon. Here's what PurePlastic says on their FB page:
I was wondering about other plushies and I noticed that sets could be named: Aniki (big brother) Otouto (little brother) Nakama (friend) What do you think would be the nicest set to start? Also, if many people guess characters correctly, I might publish that set first.

Here's a link to their FAQ page.They may not be reprinting the plushies depending on success, so if you REALLY want a certain character, you better grab one before they're gone forever.

I'm a little behind and confused, so could someone who has paid more attention to PurePlastic things clear something up for me? They currently have two plushies and several posters revealed and if I recall correctly they'll be taking pre-orders for products soon (this month? next month?). Then in the FAQ it's stated: So they have the deals for those, okay, but does this mean that the other plushies (or at least who they are) will be revealed before the pre-order period starts? Or are they expecting people to pre-order Weed and Hougen while waiting for any others to make their appearance? That's what confuses me because they also say: which would sound like only Weed and Hougen will be available for pre-order (if I remember the time correctly, that makes a big difference). So will the pre-ordering be sort of in stages, pre-order for those two starting soon, and then a new pre-order period for other plushies, or what? I'm not going to be able to pre-order no matter what, but it still seems weird if they are expecting people to pre-order just those two for now.

That confused me a little bit too, Durango. I think they'll have only Weed and Hougen available for now, and release the others in the months to come. If they don't have a big manufacturing capability, it makes sense.

Also, if many people guess characters correctly, I might publish that set first. So heres what I guessed on the facebook page; Aniki - Yukimura and Joe Otouto - Kotetsu and Genba Kakama- GB and Kyoushiro At this moment we can not ship our items internationally.

Durango : I think you're basically correct. They've been kind of vague about it, but my understanding is that pre-orders are supposed to begin on May 6, so there is no chance that we will see the rest of the plushies before then unless they decide to spam reveals every day up until then. I think that probably what they're going to do is open pre-orders for Weed and Hougen only, then reveal two new ones every couple of weeks and open pre-orders for those afterward, and I believe their intention is to ship all of them in July or August (unless they just meant Weed and Hougen and the others would ship later). Ryan : You're probably on the right track with your guesses. Particularly with the Aniki and Otouto sets, there aren't a whole lot of choices unless they start getting into obscure characters. Also, yeah, I'm really hoping for international shipping so that it will be a bit easier to get a hold of these... I'm honestly not sure why they wouldn't be able to ship to other countries unless it's like some kind of contractual issue that they need to get Yoshi's approval or something weird.

They probably don't have the rights, because copyright laws are ridiculous.
