(I'm actually kicking myself for not getting the Ex-Aid shirt in Brown, to homage Ride-Player Nico, the 2nd best character in Ex-Aid.) |

I'm personally hoping this will lead to Bandai Premium getting TWE releases in the future, as I'm sure many are hoping for, but overall Rider support increasing as a whole would be fantastic. |
*sobs* lucky Americans.

Candy-toys like SO-DO have been historically difficult to get distribution in the US. One of the reasons is that they are designed to be sold in non-toy specific stores so lack a lot of the stuff that sells in the US, like box windows and blister packaging. Also the candy inside them technically have to be removed before sale.
I'm glad they are testing the waters with the Kuuga set but I worry it won't sell well and send the wrong message. It's a P-Bandai set but it isn't marketed as such so they just look like overpriced candy toys. SO-DO are supposed to be like $4 a box. I've already had friends ask if if they are "as big as regular figures" and be surprised to find out some parts are actually stickers. |

But, y'know, maybe the P-Bandai stuff is the way to start with SO-DO? It's not the sort of thing you can get cheaply from an importer. It's four figures in one box, no dupes or leftover halves. For me as a fan, it was something I wanted but didn't feel comfortable paying middleman prices for. So, yeah, this was the perfect thing for them to offer. (Also, since it's a limited item, they probably don't need to move a whole bunch to make it worth offering.) I don't know. It's probably not the sort of impulse buy that'd get a lot of interest from fans, but it's also exactly the sort of thing I'd like Bluefin to offer in the US. I hope it does well enough for them to continue serving SO-DO fans. |
This is gonna be HYPE!!! Looking froward to the festivities. Will there be something happening before the Generations Forever screening and Zi-O streams on the 11th?

So if I understand everything correctly, Bluefin was supposed to start doing something today. If so, I haven't had enough time to look into any of it. Is there a concise answer as to the tone of what was done earlier?

A friend of mine that works at DHL told me that he saw packages label "Kamen Rider Kicks". Said he didn't catch where it was going. But at least he saw it. Lol!
