Tamashii France doesn't send to the UK after Brexit, but I can order and get it sent to my parents house in Spain. So if the few people I know from the UK here would like me to order for them I'd be willing to help.

I'm lucky since I don't have to deal with the international BS problems with P-Bandai due to living in the US, but I wanted to say that's kind of you to do for folks.

The online delivery order (i.e. the non-event pick up) of 16 sold out on P-Bandai. I'm kind of surprised he sold out before SS2 Goku.
Glad I ordered him among others the night the pre-orders went up. I'm kind of surprised it took so long for one of them to be sold out. I think this is a good plan going forward with P-Bandai to have the SDCC event pick up orders, and a later delivery order option. The website wasn't a problem at all the night the pre-orders went up, and it took somewhere over 24 hours before one of the exclusives sold out. Not bad if you ignore the international issues.

Are you sure? I went to order 3 or 4 hours after the emails were sent (as soon as I saw them) and 16 was already gone. The website was fine though.

I will consider buying the SHF version, but is it confirmed that his hat comes off to reveal his brain like in this statue? If not then that would be kinda disappointing

I guess they got out of stock for a little while the night of the drop, and re-stocked.

If not then that would be kinda disappointing Most likely that is in his feature set, we saw him without his hat for a decent amount of time. If not, major blunder on their part. Plus we never saw this figure without his hat off.
Turles pre-order GET, by the way!

Hmm okay, guess I’ll have to wait n see for more photos. You never know with Tamashii. I like the way this statue did it, they made it so the dome looks a little transparent & you can see the brain encased within. It doesn’t look “painted on”

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how it would even be painted on convincingly. you'd need to have empty blue space near the top and sides from pretty much every angle. I can't think of any way a 2D painting or decal representing Gero's brain would look good at any angle except for straight-on or from the top

I don’t wanna overpay now for this years if I can get them at NYCC in October I got my event exclusives in 2019 at NYCC. But I don't really know if the same is true ever since they started offering them on Premium Bandai as well. Since these ones are selling in person at SDCC tho I'd bet they'll still do the same for NYCC as well, but you'd have to be there bright and early and wait on line for quite a long time.

The brain is sculpted as part of the head sculpt then a clear dome attached on top of the head. Just look at those two figures and you'll see how it's done.

Here is a short but interesting explanation on the Androids that have been made by the Red Ribbon army. It's interesting to note that Android 19 was considered to be a success among all the other "failures." I'm guessing mainly because he was 100% obedient & followed orders without question.

I meant the brain being painted or printed right onto the dome actually!

I think the best approach here would probably be the Raging Blast/Ultimate Tenkaichi model approach, sculpt a brain underneath a transparent dome with a metallic/glossy finish. It'd look pretty convincing if done well.
