Ugh - looks like you were right: https://www.facebook.com/Tamashii.US...t=feed_comment
Bluefin won't be getting them due to licensing trouble. So much for getting a Zoffy! Apparently. UPDATE: Good news - BBTS says they ordered theirs through a Japanese distributor. So, it's still possible, if they get their allotment. UPDATE UPDATE: Aaaaaaaand I got an email from BBTS saying they're cancelling my Zoffy preorder. So, no Zoffy for me, I guess. Really glad I pre-ordered the new Ultraman via AmiAmi. UPDATEx3: Zoffy appears to be back in stock at AmiAmi. I put an order in, we'll see if it actually goes through. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/det...%24pagecnt%3D1

I believe the main reason that Bluefin couldn't get the rights to distribute him here is due to another company having exclusive international rights to distribute certain Ultra characters. Bluefin would have to get permission from the other company to distribute Zoffy, and that could potentially hurt their relationship with Bandai and Tsuburaya. Bluefin wouldn't risk something that big. There is a great article on sfijapan that explains some of the legal problems with the Ultra franchise: http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2...a-productions/ If certain distribution rights are still in play for Chaiyo, this could affect not only Zoffy, but the 2.0 Ultraman release, and any future releases of Ultraseven, Jack, Ace, & Taro...which would suck! Speaking of Zoffy, if you're on the fence about getting him, I'd jump on him soon! I got mine in the mail today: The price has gotten high on Ebay in the last couple of weeks, so I jumped on one before the price hike. I may put in my Ultraman 2.0 order very soon too.

Snapped a few quick pics now that I opened him:
I wasn't going to bother with the cape, but now that i have it, I think it looks pretty darned good on Zoffy! I guess that means I'll be getting another one for my Ultraman 2.0 when he's released. As for the rest of pics, I did something a little different called... Thanks for letting me share!

Nobody actually seems to be paying the high prices eBay sellers are trying to get for Zoffy, if you check the completed auctions...

Is BBTS going to get the Renewal Version Ultraman or am I going to have to look elsewhere for him?

Even though we're only seeing a minimal amount of Ultra-Act presence at SDCC, Tamashii Nations has their new Ultra-Act display set up at the Akiba Showroom.
Looks like they're promoting the updated Ultraman 2.0 body, by showing off the poseability. Photo credit goes to http://shishioh.info http://shishioh.info/AKIBA_SHOWROOM_2012-7.php I'm becoming more convinced the Ultraseven figure is sporting the newer body type in that display.

We should start seeing some reviews of the new Ultraman next week, right?

According to Tamashii's website, it's getting released on July 27th, so just a few more days.
