so how much would something like that cost me in us dollars

My Henrietta cost me over 60$. I'm willing to pay more for a Triela figure. I WANT IT!!!!! >___<

I managed to get my Henrietta figurine at about $50 with shipping a long time ago. I doubt you could get it at that price anymore, if at all. I'm just going to guess that this figurine will run us about $100, if it ever is released.

oh ok thats not to bad

Is there ANY way we can get in contact with Goodsmile and ask them about this figure? If it was shelved I will go to wherever they are keeping this prototype and take it for myself.

Yeah I was deeply disappointed it (apparently) never went into production because I really wanted it.

I just saw this, got all excited, and now I has a sad. ;_;

I might have to invest in that resin kit, though. My painting skills have only been applied to 28mm tabletop miniatures thus far, so something like a 1/8 scale is going to be a new and interesting challenge.

Yeah, I was seriously considering trying to track down that resin kit too... but probably pay someone to assemble and paint it for me. I know what my skills with that are like

Kiskaloo, we need you to get Michele to buy Goodsmile and have it put into production.

You're going to buy a Goodsmile Company? Please do then get them to put Triela into production.

And add a Claes and Angelica while you're at it!

Still waiting for this thing. Is there really no way to contact these people??

I can only assume that by now it was never brought to market.

Which bites.

Send them a letter, stating that as a member of a very large fan community devoted to Gunslinger Girl, that if you dont get what you ordered, you will spread the word for no one in the community to order from them because of their bad service.

I would. I mean, I did get ADV to publish 3 more volumes of GSG before they shut down. The thing is I can't find contact info to send them a letter. D:

You did?!

Anyway, I'm rather depressed that it seems like the making of new GSG figurines is coming to an end. Guess it's to be expected for a low-profile, deathly depressing series. I would gladly shell out more cash for these gems though.

Speaking of which, are there any other new GSG figurines in the works?

I did. I kept pestering them till they said they would continue publishing them :3 Volumes 4-6 are my doing.

Wow, you have my sincerest thanks then. ADV did seem like a company so incompetent that they needed someone to shout in their ears for them to do their jobs right. Looks like I have you to thank for that.

It would be great if you could give us a repeat performance with Goodsmile.

Awwww it was nothing! Anything for Gunslinger Girl!! ^_^

I just went back in my e-mails. From 1/18/07 to 7/22/09 I was in contact with the same person. Through that time she gave me relies dates and updates on the manga. Kinda sad I'll never get to talk to her again, seeing as her e-mail was under ADV. ;_;

I WISH Goodsmile had an e-mail I could message. I would send them at least 2 a day till they agreed to make Triela, if only for a limited time, at least enough time for the people on the GSG boards to get it. ;_;

EDIT:

I'm e-mailing Yu Aida about the figure. Wish me luck!

I GOT A CONTACT E-MAIL!!!!!

Help me Gunslinger Girl fans! You're my only hope!

Edit:

Dear Goodsmile Company

Triela, a character from Gunslinger Girl was seen at a figure showing in 2009. We have yet to hear any word about her distribution. Many Gunslinger Girl fans and figure fans alike have been dying to buy this amazing figure. All the Gunslinger Girl fans would love to have Triela standing beside our Henrietta figures that we purchased back in 2006.

Could you please push her through into production?

Thanks so much!

Sent it to them. I'm gonna wait a few days and if they don't get back to me I'm going to send it again.

Edit:

Made that as well. I have 6 signatures (including mine) so far, and it's only been up for 15 minutes. :3 If Good Smile refuses we're gonna hit 'em hard. I'm tired of waiting to hear about this figure.

CONGRATS Triela!!! Apparently your efforts will payback. As show in Nekomagic.com magazine scans this figure is in Good Smile plans again, they let her appear in a mag this month, that means she will be here soon. By the way, I found Cyborg Central forum today when I was looking for info on this figure, and just register to post this, hope you like the news!

P.s.: Sorry for the very bad english, I am from Brazil and learn almost all my english on the net.

I...I don't...I just...I...I...I...
My brain just cannot process this much win.

I just pray to God that this is real and not just a repeat of when Goodsmile originally announced their intentions to produce a Treila figure.
However, for the sake of a more balanced response, I do have one criticism. Maybe it's just the quality of the photo, but do Triela's eyes and hair look a little washed out and pale as compared to the original pictures of the figure? Because they do to me and while I could care less about the hair colour, the empty, vacant expression in the eyes that the pale colouring conveys is a little dissappointing.

Either way, I can quite confidently say that my rampant Triela fanboyism will compel me to buy this as soon as it becomes available.

Suddenly... very much waiting on my new credit card to show.

Why is part of me suddenly relenting on my adamant refusal to collect non-poseable figures. >>

I think it's just the original picture was too dark and this one was taken with proper lighting.

Must get this

I can't even find anywhere to buy the resin kit anymore, and I was planning to. And I wanted to give it a shot painting it, even if my painting isn't that great

I have a figure of Aruruu that I managed to get the last of from forbidden planet international (it had dust on the top and everything XD - and it disappeared from their site as soon as my payment went through).
Now I want a Triela too

Sooo my hard work paid off yet again? :3

SOSOSOSOSOSOSOOOOOO HAPPYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A winrar is you, Triela!


...


Sooo.... any chance you could start asking about a GsG Season 3, since apparently folks listen to you...? Just sayin...

^___^ See you guys! Pestering people to get what you want is great! Where would you guys be without me and my annoying self? XD

I suppose I could try that, but I think actually getting a whole new season is going to take more than the power of one person.

Well... Another petition?

BRILLIANT! XDD ^__^ I'll start it one a little while after I finished my darn final animation.

Must have. MUST HAVE!

Tell me where I can get this figurine and i will buy me one.

It really have caught her uniqueness.

This blog says preorders open soon/tomorrow.

Damn. I just bought a hard drive and gaming keyboard.
Now I need to save up >_<

Dear Goodsmile Company,

Here is my money, please send me a Triela figure...

Lots of love (and quiet threats),


Alfisti


Just dropped my pre-order on her over at HLJ... man I haven't bought a figure in ages.

Hobby Search has her for 67$. :3

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10146498

Pre-ordering her after class tomorrow.

Bookmarked, shall order when I have money

Pre-ordered already, I didn't even have a second thought, got it from AmiAmi for 5000 yen. I always buy my stuff there, it's usually the cheaper place if you count the shipping.

Pre-ordered her!!!

Now we have to wait... till AUGUST!!!! *cries* ;_;

Triela wrote:Hobby Search has her for 67$.

Nice. That's about $20 less than CD Japan (my usual place) wants.

I would LOVE to have this figure, but there is no way I can justify spending the money to my wife. *sigh*

Mrs. Charon: So let me get this straight: you spent $80 on a figurine of a cyborg-loli because "all the cool people at Cyborg Central have one"?

Officer_Charon: .....Yes.

Mrs. Charon picks up the phone and dials the precinct.

Mrs. Charon: Hey Terry, how ya doin'? No, I'm just calling in a domestic dispute. Right the %*$& here!

I also Pre-ordered her, now I think I will try to get one of the old Goodsmile Henrietta on ebay to complete the set, a shame she is so expensive today ($90 at lowest price, up to $190!!!), it would be nice if goodsmile rereliese her...

I suppose, theoretically, if the Triela figure sells well enough, then the execs of Goodsmile might be convinced to rerelease Henrietta.

You guys are really trying to make me waste more money...

But, hell, she looks great too.

1. Confiscate dope from teenagers.
2. Sell dope.
3. ??????????
4. PROFIT!
5. Spend profits on plastic Loli figurines.

What could possibly go wrong?

God help me, I LOL'd. *chuckle*

Oh, HELL yes! I had practically given up hope for this gem. Willing and able to fork over the boatload of cash required for this. Still willing to hand over even more of the stuff for another masterpiece, if you're feeling up to inquiring again Triela.
Ironically, I spend tons of time at my local anime convention every year hunting for these, and the best of them, like this, seem to be the ones that just fall into my lap.

4 months from now is a lot better than my previous estimation, being never.

Now only a Claes figurine is missing and i'm happy, all my favorites from GSG in reality.

I like 'Blondie from the 2nd gens too but i think it's useless to wait for a figurine of her

For those who have used HLJ, amiami, Hobby Search, or other such sites how much do you usually pay for shipping and what shipping options do you choose? Some of these options seem ridiculously expensive, but I also don't want to take my chances here. Also, what site do you buy figurines from and how was it buying from them? I've never bought anything internationally before, having bought my PVC Etta figurine off Amazon.

Depends on how fast I want it... normally I'll use SAL, but if it's something I want in a hurry or is of particularly high value then I'll pick EMS.

Triela's at a price point I'd normally select SAL, but a) I want the figurine ASAP and b) I haven't bought anything anime related in ages and figure I'm allowed to splash out for my favorite series... so I selected EMS.

SAL usually ranges from somewhere around 1300~2200 yen, EMS can go over 5000...

Ah, missed that second part. I buy through HLJ, mostly because its who I started with and so I know my way through their system. So far, I've never had a problem with them.

I always ante up for EMS, even though the shipping can run the price of the figure.

I also tend to combine figures and other items into one massive shipment to help lower the costs.

Who else is excited about getting Triela next month? *happy dance*

I already made a space for her next to Henrietta on my shelf! ^o^

I've just placed my order today, not much of a Triela fan though but its all part of my massive collection I'm planning to build up!

Pretty excited as its my first real figurine.. only have the Henri and Rico plushies so far... :3
