I ended up ordering the full first wave off Amazon Japan, my first experience with ordering from them. Just got notification that they're on the way, so in roughly 2 weeks I should have them.

For the folks who are ordering these (or the previous wave) to the US: what about the tariffs? I really want to order these, but I don't want to pay an additional ~150%.
At the beginning of the week I ordered one (Hydrophant) off of Suruga-ya.com as a test case because they were having one of their I understand fairly frequent "free shipping to the US" promos.
It was listed at right around $20 with the exchange rate at the time and there was a couple dollars in fees making the total roughly $25.
There was no mention of any tariff charge and it seems to have shipped fine from Japan. Hasn't arrived yet so I'm still waiting to see how it all works out. Again basically a test case for myself.
-ZacWilliam, no mention of a teriff charge on Amazon Japan that I could see when I looked at the new ones there but their shipping charge is roughly the same cost as the toy so I likely won't try that.
Yeah, shipping from Amazon Japan wasn't free, but there was no tariff charges that I could see. At least not yet. Not sure if that's something that will get charged to me after arrival at customs or what, but I'll let you know.

It can be two things!
Not the first time that sort of confusion happened with one of Takara's character names....
"Killbison" would have been a more comparable example.
So according to tracking my Hydrophant has landed in New York City, cleared customs and been given to the US Postal Service. (Still no mention of or request for any Tariff money.)
Hoping he's delivered in the next few days...
-ZacWilliam, wish I'd ordered Leafback too before he'd sold out on Suruga-ya.
