G4 KappaHobby and Princess Celestia figure - anyone else waiting?

[darcerin]

I ordered the Sunset Shimmer and the Pricess Celestia figurines from Kappa Hobby back in May 2021. I knew Celestia was a pre-order and that was fine. I waited patiently. I got Sunset Shimmer, no issues there. However, we are now a year and two months since I ordered. I believe she was supposed to be out in December '21. So we're closing in on a year since she was supposed be out. I KNOW several people have received theirs, but from other vendors. I am planning to reach out to the company to see if they have a shipping date, and if they don't I want a refund if needed (I can't remember if they charged me at the time I ordered or not.) I am sure this is a supply chain issue, but it would be nice to have anything but radio silence from the company.

Is anyone else waiting? Besides Rarity, this was THE one Bishoujo pony figure I wanted out of the collection.

I have never brought on them but I saw some people complaining of receiving fake figurines on Reddit, and also some saying very great stuff about it..
You should definitely reach out, maybe it'll do great ?
And if needed, I saw some bishoujo figures on vinted for a decent price !

I sadly couldn’t afford them, but I would definitely call the company and see if you were charged yet. They had Celestia at GameStop already.

I'll check my Gamestop. I knew people had at least sighted her, or gotten her. I'm just too nice to people/companies. Always gets me in trouble.

Well, they must be listening on here, because I got an email on Saturday that Celestia FINALLY shipped. Whether she's legit or a knockoff, we'll see. She arrives Friday (maybe I'll do an unboxing thread.)
