Received an email yesterday from Rokutoys. The Usagi Yojimbo Statue is completely sold out!

this is the email :

We just wanted to post a quick note to give a big THANKS to all our customers who have placed their orders and to share some news with all of you.

We have some good news and we have some bad news.

First, the bad news: We've sold out of our individual Miyamoto Usagi statues (Standard and Exclusive editions). Also, we will no longer be offering the "Full 6 Statue Standard Edition Set". Moving forward, the only way to obtain a Miyamoto Usagi figure is to purchase the "Full 6 Statue Exclusive Edition Set".

Now, for the good news: We're giving away prizes!!! Our first winner, Alfred Yee, was the very first person to place an order with us. Alfred's prize? He'll be allowed to choose one Standard edition statue.

We plan to give away more individual statues as prizes and in a few months we plan to raffle off an "Full 6 Statue Exclusive Edition Set". We have yet to work out the details but rest assured that if you've made a purchase with us, your name will be "in the hat". Stay tuned over the next upcoming weeks for more info.

All for now. Again, a big, big THANK YOU to all of you who have placed your orders.

I received my full set of exclusive statues! I can't say enough about how nice these look - I especially am impressed by how Gen turned out.

Got my set yesterday already! And, as everybody else here, I'm absolutely satisfied with them, they arrived in perfect condition.

@Tigerrider: Prepare yourself to pay about 80 € for customs for the complete set. Inside the parcel should be the final bill, but you may bring a print-out of your Paypal payment as proof for customs; not nessessary, but it helps speeding things up a bit.

Thanks everybody who made these available!!

Mine arrived in South Western Ontario Canada on Friday. Some of the boxes had banged up corners, but the statues were all in excellent condition. I had to clear of a shelf on my book shelf to display them properly. They are all truly excellent. I can't wait for a Shingen and a Jei statue!

Thank you all for all the wonderful compliments. I believe that this is the best part of the business. We are all working very hard to get the best figures made and packaged and it makes it all worthwhile when we get to hear all the positive comments about the products.

Thank you also to Indestrctibleman for posting his pictures. I didn't realize that our statues were so much bigger then the previous ones.

Now for some news. I have been in pre-production for Usagi Series Two and have been trying to figure out the poses for all of them. This series is proving more difficult to choose the poses but I think I'm getting there. Series two tentatively will include Usagi in Armor, Jei, Kitsune with table and accesssories, Noriyuki /Koro and Neko Ninja. The bonus figure I am contemplating on will be Kiyoko.

We are also trying to set up a contest for Valetines day. The prize will be an Usagi and Tomoe Exclusive figure.We are still thinking about it and we will send out an email to everyone. Right now I am thinking that you need to join our Facebook page and send in pictures of your Usagi statues. We will pick the winner. This is all still being figured out so please bear with us. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up of what's in store for the future.

Thank you all.

I have yet to recive my figures, I can't wait!

Series Two sounds GREAT! Noriyuki! Yesssss! He's one of my faves. But, who's Koro and Kiyoko? I also think a lot of people would like to see Chizu at somepoint.

Other peoples thoughts?

Koro is Noriyuki's dog, Kiyoko (I think) is Kitsune's apprentice / young friend.
