MegaHouse starts a new year with a great looking figure announcement but with a slightly annoying distribution scheme. POP Neo-DX (as it was classified during the Mehahobby EXPO 2013 Autumn event) Kaku is going to be a LIMITED edition (as was classified during the Jump Festa 2014 event). A really annoying move from MegaHouse.
Well, that isn't so surprising considering they have done it before with Kalifa and Sadi. POP LIMITED - Kaku is going to be released on June 2014 for 8,424 yen. I think the price is too steep for a simple looking POP like this. And that's only the official pricing for MegaHouse's affiliated stores like Megatreashop, Premium Bandai, etc. Outside Japan, pricing will be way much more expensive. So be ready for that.
For a CP9 fan like me, there's no question why I should be getting this one. It's just too bad that I'll be paying more than it's overall value. Unless there's tons of optional display parts that would come with it. Notice that two swords that was seen during the Jump Festa event? Well for me, it's not enough to justify the price.
No exact preorder announcement date yet. So be sure to check this blog or my Facebook page from time to time for further announcements.
Update (2014-01-24): Preorders schedule POP LIMITED - Kaku will start 7th of February 2014, until late-March 2014. That's for MegaHouse's affiliated shops only being a limited edition. Still no word if this will have an international release.
