I don't know. Offhand, I'd say there aren't too many here on SSF, but I've always thought of 3A as having a smaller, but super loyal following anyway.

I picked up Rehel. I'm still kicking myself for missing 3AA sign ups because I would've liked to grab Rehel with the Cloven Heart get up.

Then again, it's probably for the best because I would've ended up buying two Rehels, one each of each version, because I don't care for dark-haired Rehel, just his outfit. :p

Also, condolences to A.W. who apparently lost a member of his family recently. No VOX newsletter this week--not sure if this also has any impact on the lack of secret drop this time around, but we could be in for more news depending on what HK has ready. Just need to keep an eye on the production blog.
 
Right now, there's no real date. They were indeed supposed to drop end of last year, but got delayed when it was found that some of the final products were being put in the wrong packaging.

Considering that the figures appear to have been ready, and the issue is apparently just a packaging issue, we could be seeing these getting sent out as early as the end of the month, but really there hasn't been any info from Hong Kong as of this writing. In consideration of this lack of info, SSC has posted an ETA of May 2012 for release, but I don't think it will take that long, personally.
 
And just like that, Rehel is gone.

Now it's time to save up for Supreme NOM, which Ash has said is next!!

AW also reports that Rex is still on track for end of February. I will have to live vicariously through all you hardcore MGS/threeA fans who can afford that one, 'cause I can't. :D
 
The 3AA Rehel? Yeah I picked him up. I often sort of consciously forget any ThreeA purchases I make because I know it's going to be a long ass time until they ship… and then when they finally do ship it feels like getting something for free since I paid for it so long ago.
 
No, I made the bat. A lot of people have done bats as well. It's pretty easy to do if you have an electric drill and some doweling.

Weren't you one of the first people to make a bat? I remember that you were making alot of stuff for your Tommy and Zombs etc. Not to bash Simon's bats of course, especially since I have a custom one. :D
 
…yeah I think I was the first one. Props to goatbot though (I think) for suggesting the method of doing it.

I love doing little accessories and minor updates to figures. These are all my custom ThreeA figures. Some I have done a lot to, some not so much. Brambles gun was also my first attempt at painting. I think I have gotten better since then.

I thought long and hard about Hades, but in the end I passed, and I'm super glad I did after finding out he will be October coming out. That wait would make me insane. It's best I not get started with another company's stuff anyway. Also, while the head looked really cool, the suit seemed a bit simple, and the gun looked cheap, especially for 160-something dollars *plus* shipping. I ordered 3AA Rehel last night, and decided to get regular today. At 3AA Prices, the two cost considerably less than one Hades, and the shipping was included in the $76 each. I will probably put the blonde head on the 3AA one and make the look I really wanted. Use the rest of the parts for customs.
