I actually feel Kenzan is one of those designs that looks way better as a figure than a suit? I don't dislike the suit or anything (I can barely think of any Toku suits I out and out dislike. Mage, I guess?) but there was always something off about it to me. But here it looks amazing
or a figure. |

Yeah, but BBTS deals with both the imported japanese retail release and the Bluefin release which is usually listed after. The one that sold out for them at least is the japanese release that everyone was trying to pre-order as the listing makes no mention of Bluefin like the Bluefin release listings usually do. Hopefully more retailers list Preorders soon, but I'd advise against BBTS for the sole reason that they may keep you waiting far longer for you figure and leave your order unfulfilled, happened to me with Saber. I was waiting till early june for my figure while they had already begun shipping in april. Utimately never fulfilled my order, but thankfully i got the japanese release for retail from an Amazon seller.
I'll definitely check out Sure Thing and Tokullectibles. Last edited by KaiserBlue; 01-18-2022 at 10:06 PM.. |

I'll definitely check out Sure Thing and Tokullectibles. Diamond Comic Distributors, who distribute to comic shops worldwide, listed both Revi and Vice as available to order. (They source from Bluefin.) That means you can talk to any comic shop in the U.S. and ask them to order both figures for you. Three caveats: 1) Expect the price to be higher than BBTS or anywhere else online. The wholesale cost (meaning what a store pays Diamond to get the figure for you) is $36.50 for Revi and $50 for Vice. Expect a store to charge you around $65 for Revi and $85 for Vice. 2) They won't be in until June, at the earliest. 3) This is the big one: they might never show up. I've ordered Figuarts through Diamond that showed up a little late (Seihou OOO), and I've ordered ones that just never arrived (Seihou Wizard). Total toss-up, although I'd say these are more likely to come in. Anyway, there's an option, if you're desperate!

I'm not sure I'd recommend the following path, buuuuut...

I DO strongly dislike Kenzan's suit and can back up that yes, he looks MUCH better as a toy.

Metsubojinrai looks really great, I'm excited to get it.
@Topic: Next Ultraman reveal on Saturday in Japan. Bets? I'll go with Windom. I actually forgot one figure they showed off at the last event, Tector Gear Zero. Can't say I'm interested in that one though. |

Since it’s the final Trigger episode I assume we’ll get another reveal for that show. Probably Glitter
