I'm pleasently suprised by how quickly she is selling at CMON.  I'm not suprised she's a hit...I've been drooling over her for weeks.  I had her sculpt on my desk for a few days...kinda distracting but still got our new releases out  .

he he he true, she's a beauty. grats to the sculptor.

All hail Juan Navarro. The same sculptor responsible of the fact that almost all your Wissenschaft collection (except old Celia and Alessa who look cool but are not his work) and Empire minis (except Kronen and Duncan... err... do you own Duncan? )look so gorgeous and impressive. In fact if it wasn't by him we wouldn't be able to enjoy allmost three fourth parts of the sculpts in the current AT range.

okay.. that was nice info. He's my personal hero.

Yes only thing for Wissen and Empire I don't have are Rayne and Feng, Lorenzo and Lilian are on their way.

Much as you might like erect nipples, they aren't always erect, anyway.

Mine are, but I'm a guy so that's not really all that great.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Ordered mine, she is gorgeous.

I love the new miniature, but am not thrilled that it is limited edition.  I wasn't going to comment on that part, but changed my mind.
 
I wouldn't care if it were limited pre-release, but I don't like the lucky elitist system that LE figures bring to a game.
 
I'd love to get one, but I'll be supporting my FLGS that is the reason I got into Anima, so if they don't get one, I won't, either.  It will probably break my chain of getting at least one of every Anima figure released, but since it's also my greatest disappointment in how Anima has been created and marketed, it's appropriate.
 
I know LE figures make some players go wild, but I'd prefer even special sculpts be available for anyone who wants to play with them.  Wasting the effort to create a limited edition that could have gone to another general release model takes away from the game and adds a negative aspect for fans that miss out that a game doesn't need.
 
Put the miniature out in a limited pre-release, and later put it out for the general playing audience, and I'd see no problem with it.  By simply doing a limited edition run, most fans will lose out, and Juan's incredible sculpting talent is wasted.
 
The sculpt is cool enough that I almost ordered one, but I'm a sucker for living on principles, and this runs smack into one.

Don't worry; any LE (if there is any more, of course) will be always models alredy in game. That way, you won't have any problem with them playwise.

That is good news.

[Icenri]

Will we actually see her in stores (for those who cannot afford buying overseas)?

I know how you feel, but I loved the sculp.  I probably won't even play with it in games, it'll go on my display shelf with a couple of others I have.

The figures will be available through stores also.  CMON has an exclusive for a couple of weeks before we ship her to distributors so they can have a month or so to run the contest.  They will be available in all countries that carry our game.  The non-English blisters will contain the English reprint with the new art and the language specific original cards as well.

[Honigkuchenwolf]

hum... wait a minute... A celia bought on CMON will have a statscard in english too?

I was glad you'd chosen a resculpt instead of a different character, but still don't like the LE aspect.  Using a new and different character would have really disappointed me.
 
While I've heard some people rave about getting special models, I've heard more grumble when they couldn't get a special sculpt, or had to put up with someone who thought getting the LE figure made them special.  I've never been fond of the elitism the situation tends to engender, even if the company means well. 
 
I'd rather see something new developed for everyone than a limited edition piece that becomes an ego boost for some of those who lucked out.  Not everyone buying them is an idiot, but every one that is can sour people on a game.
 
If distribution is good enough that my FLGS gets them, I may wind up with one, but I won't directly support the concept because I feel it shafts players that miss out.
 
What real purpose does using limited edition figures serve?  While this sculpt of Celia will appeal more to some, others will like the original better, simply due to aesthetics.   
 
Some people will get this one because they like it, just as they would if it were not limited edition.
 
The limited edition tag is simply a way for people to say they have something others don't have, or can't get.  People who miss out get to lose out, or pay ridiculous amounts on E-bay.  Where does that serve the gaming community?
 
Hurray for CMON!  They get first run on a figure people feel they have to rush to buy.  All the stores that push the game get to wait and hope they get some so they don't lose out.  How does that encourage them to support the game?
 
I expect the stores and players this can alienate are more important for Anima's success than CMON's painting contest having a limited edition figure, as opposed to simply an early release of a figure.
 
It's not my choice to make, but I think it was not the best choice.  I can live with it, but I don't have to like it.

I certainly feel the same way Gimp does about LE minis. Why can't both versions of Celia be produced at the same time?
