After word that the last of the main three Go-Buster figuarts would see release as a Tamashii web exclusive in January was revealed yesterday, Bandai have now updated their web store with images of SH Figuarts Blue Buster!

The blue hero from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters comes packaged with a set of hands, the Ichigan Buster, the Sougan Blade and the Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode. There is currently no word on when his Buddyroid partner Gorisaki Banana will see release.

Blue Buster is a Tamashii Web Exclusive figure due for release in January 2013, priced at 3675 yen. Check out the image gallery after the jump!

Interesting that they made the Gobusters exclusives and not the AkibaRangers. Is Gobusters doing that bad in ratings?

Gobuster is like, one of the worst rated sentai shows in recent history, it's fairing far worse then shows like Ohranger did. Aoi Kurenai from HJU did an article about it, so you can get a better understanding of how it's doing:

Given that Tamashi Nations was sponsoring Akibaranger, I think it was meant to be aimed at Toy nerds like us from the start.

I still can't get past the black elbows, on all of them, also, isn't Blue Buster supposed to be taller than Red Buster?

It seems bad ratings have done these figures in. If Gobuster hadn't been doing so poorly I really feel Blue would have been mass retail. But the Busters really aren't worth the exclusive price tag. Sure they have the standard problem that most exclusives do, a severe lack of accessories. But besides that neither Blue nor Yellow really look all that good. The black elbows, the weird proportions, they are just a mess.

Yeah, there's something up with that close up shot of him. Its the first time I think I've wanted to use the word "cheap" to describe how a Figuart looks.

I could understand why the Double Figuarts had the black elbow joints(though somehow CAX Trollishy escapes this problem?), but just can't understand why the Busters are like that. Oh well, that means more money I can put towards other stuff.

Same for me. Of any of the Busters Ryuji was the one I wanted the most because I love his character. If they can't even do my favorite right then im hard pressed to buy him

I'll just get Red Buster myself, I just can't justify paying exclusive price for the other two Gobusters...especially when it doesn't look like Blue Buster is going to be coming with anything unique, Blue and yellow just don't look that good to me either

I'm only going to get Red Buster because I decided back in June that I'll get every red ranger and only aim for the full teams for Zyu, Dai, Kaku, and Geki.
