Personally, I think ITEM #198421 is better than those 2 (also 1/7 instead of 1/8) - you can get it on Mandarake for 10k yen unopened atm.
On Mandarake, ITEM #189153 - your first choice, is 7k yen unopened, ITEM #166425 - your second choice is also around 10k yen unopened - but none currently in stock except for an opened damaged one for 3k yen. Out of the 2 you want i'd go with the first.
The ultimate Shima figure - ITEM #604787, is kinda rare & pricey now, but worth the cost if you can find her & have the space.

Was just going to wait until it gets released, then pick it up from eBay or some such.
Typically not worth going the proxy / Japan route for stuff that's ~ <= $30 total.
Have done that for most new prize figures. Bonus points if timed correctly for 5-10% eBay bucks, using up existing eBay bucks, 5% credit card cashback, or any combination of those.
A couple months ago, I was trying to decide between these two figures as well. They can both be bought used or new for very reasonable prices. Ultimately, I decided to go with a used (like new) ITEM #189153 because of its better manufacturer (GSC) and because I looked at a bunch of reviews on these figures. Also, the sculpt of the stomach ITEM #166425 seems a bit off to me and less attractive (expando-belly I'll call it). The stomach sculpt wasn't enough of a thing to completely turn me off to the figure but it was definitely another strike against it.
Anyway, even though I paid more for the GSC-made version, I am very happy with it. It's flawless as you would expect from GSC. I personally rated it a 10/10 in terms of MFC rating.
I do have to say that the advantages of the other version are: 1) costs less, 2) like the salute pose, and 3) slightly bigger/taller.
WhoBeDaPlaya • 2年前 • #76506856I know right?
That figure took me by surprise as well - traded my ITEM #263893 for this new one :)AlienEmoji • 2年前 • #76489447i think more people would be inclined to vote if you provided clickable links in the post
(that said, imho the figure WhoBeDaPlaya linked is nicer than the two you tried to show)
Finally got the time to do it, nowhere near as hard to do as I thought it would be.
Thanks for your help!

Ugh how didn't I see that... Thanks!
hamsterfactor • 2年前 • #76506710Please disregard my vote, I just wanted to see which figures were those and clicked on the poll like an idiot... :(

This one is probably my favorite Shimakaze figure though: ITEM #198421
