Bluefin will be importing Vul Eagle and Zo

Cools~

This gives me hope for them picking up Blue Beet and Black Beet for U.S. distribution. If they'll give these characters/figures a shot, why not ones with an established fanbase in the U.S.?

Here is the issue (most likely).
Saban Brands licensing out Power Rangers toys to Bandai of America. And while Saban Brands still holds the rights to Power Rangers, they've probably let the rights of Beetle Borgs, Masked Rider, and VR Troopers (beyond the actual show itself) expire, meaning to release an item as "Big Bad Beetle Borgs" they would have to purchase the license on the toys, of which Saban Brands no longer holds to be able to grant to them. So the urge to purchase the licensing rights to use "Big Bad Beetle Borgs" on a package probably doesn't outweigh the actual amount you'd make on the figures (ie: you wouldn't make enough $$ off the figures to justify the expense of the license). *NOTE* Totally hypothetical, I don't really know what's going on or what the issues are. |
Can't they just release them as B-Fighters/Metal Heroes here? I mean it's like releasing Black RX as Black RX not Masked Rider right? or because Metal Heroes is different that causes a problem. I'm not really sure about this.
Happy about ZO and VulEagle though. |
It's because B-Fighter Figuarts are web exclusives.

It's literally a rights dispute issue right now that's hindering their release here. Bluefin was testing the waters at SDCC to see if there was even broad enough support here for them to be released in the first place. The hurdle now is these undisclosed rights issues. |
