S.H.Figuarts - News and Reviews

Cyclone Joker really does need a renewal. I absolutely HATED that hip/thigh mold affecting poseability. Sadly, though, it won't make a difference for my pure Kamen Rider Cyclone.

 

Tbh, I am actually excited for Megarangers. I was always in love with their designs and their weapons. And the Nejirangers/Psycho Rangers? These would be perfect for Bluefin to release.

 

I might be interested, but I would need a guarantee that they are going to release the entire team first.

You'll never get that guarantee. Even if they display them all prior to release, they won't follow through with releasing everything if the sales are bad like they were with other teams.

Your best bet is that Bluefin has managed to convince Bandai that there's a US market outside of MMPR and these are being done to test whether or not the fans will actually follow through (Megaranger was the top of the US polls, right?) I'd still say the Nejirangers are pretty unlikely even if these guys do well though. And would you really want them to spend 6-12 months releasing all of those instead of other new Sentai teams or (dare I say it) finishing the incomplete teams?

 

Considering that he's pinned as a web-exclusive, I doubt Bandai is intending him for japanese audiences as much as english-speaking audiences (Kibaranger, anyone?), there's no way Bluefin isn't responsible for this. Still, that doesn't make completing this team any more likely (though lines Bluefin releases do tend to get at least pretty close to complete, like Hurricanger and Boukenger).

 

Of course I would choose finishing DaiRanger an Jetman over giving me MegaRanger. I like MegaRanger, but it is my 12th favorite Sentai series whereas Dai is #1 and Jet is #8.

HOwever, yes, I am going to be cautious now. I'm not going to buy red until the rest of the team members have been solicited for sale. The only red ranger I will buy without having a guarantee for the rest of the team is Ninja Red.

 

Considering I spent a significant portion of my late teens-early twenties writing a massive fan-fiction series about the Psycho Rangers which created for me a fanbase, some of which fans became close friends of mine that I still have to this very day. Yes. Yes, I would rather have Figuarts of the NejiRangers instead of any other Sentai team.

 

Bluefin already said that they are taking a break with Power Rangers. I doubt Megared/In Space Red will be release in the US if the list is legit. Bluefin will still release Ultras and Kamen Riders (Pre-Gaim) as long if they are retail going by what Den-O on Tokunation said. Otherwise Toku web exclusives are done for Bluefin unless it's Godzilla.

 

I hate to say it, but you've got a point. On the bright(er) side, if the list does turn out to be fake, it won't matter either way.

 

New scans.

 

I want that car. Both of them!

 

Does this mean these are coming out? If so, I want that Suika.

Also, Bluefin just confirmed that they've solved some licencing issues and Gaim is getting a north american re-issue! As well as (potentially) any non-web exclusive Gaim figuarts (if they re-release Kachidoki, I will be ecstatic).

 

Yeah, I am so glad I did not buy Ryugen and the Gaim forms yet. I'll just wait until BF releases them.

I might buy their Gaim reissue in hope that his Muso Saber holster actually works.

 

As someone who can't read Japanese, do those scans give anything resembling release date info?

If it's too tight, just carefully slide it in there and wiggle it around in the slot to loosen it up, that worked on my Zangetsu (unless you're having a different issue).

 

GIVE ME MOAR GAIM FIGUARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

DON'T SAY NO. JUST BUY MORE.

 

Words to live by.

 

Ryugen is the cheapest Gaim retail release. I would get him now since I doubt he will be reissue.

 

All I know is that I want that Lord Baron.
