Is it too early to ask about the 12 days of reaper?

Thanks to another topic about Sophie, I was poking around on Miniature giant and found Harapan, the elephant warrior disaster relief mini. Who doesn't seem to be sold online anymore, at all.

 

I really like elephants. Really, really, really like elephants. And I would be ever so very happy and pleased and grateful and joyous if you'd make this fine fellow available for the 12 days of reaper. That's the only way I can see me getting him, even if he was available on mini giant, I'm just not spending $40 on something that small.

Funny, I was just thinking about it yesterday, because my old lady 'nagged' me about painting the Nativity for my mom this Christmas. Since they seem to be adding a piece every year, I have to figure out how to make it modular enough to accomodate that...

Just do the base pieces and suggest that's a good start then you too can add a piece every year for your mom. Keeps the whole thing special and a true collection as opposed to a single gift.

Considering that the disaster relief elephant mini is a limited edition, it's probably unfair to those who bought the mini under the presumption that it was limited edition to start producing them again.

 

If I had bought in on a limited edition mini only to find that Reaper started mass producing them at a later date, I would be pretty upset.

They are never going to mass produce it. 12 Days of Reaper is a special annual promotion, during which they often have limited numbers of limited edition minis (often old stock that they couldn't otherwise get rid of) for a single day, which ship with orders during that day.

The 12 days are also packaged accordingly- the blister specifically says it's from the 12 days promotion. I would think that would be ok? No one could pass it off as the "original" unless they took it out of the package. +1 elephant request!

Well, anyone trying to sell it for a bajillion dollars would have to sell it in the original packaging. So it would say "12 days o' reaper-loves-us"... well, you know ::):

 

I really don't care. If I had been buying minis when this guy was being sold for the disaster relief I would have been happy to buy a few of him then. But I wasn't. So I humbly request the joy of getting one this year, so as to paint him up all awesome.

 

As the tags say, I like elephants. My mommy just got me an elephant teapot.
