Bluefin has apparently decided to open its own online storefront for future releases!

At the moment the merchandise offered is minimal aside from some remaining San Diego Comic-Con exclusives- including the SH Figuarts Samurai Sentai Shinkenger figure pack!

Buyers interested in future Tamashii releases should probably keep an eye on this new page for early deals. :)



Thanks to member OPTICS for the heads-up!

SDCC items included

Not many items yet, but I think I may grab me some scouters.

Cool. I was going to, but BBTS has the set for cheaper. So unless some other seller has even better prices, I'll just stick to that and split up the set when I get it.

Oh, you're splitting up the Samurai 5 pack or something else?

Nah, the scouter set. I only want the green one. I have a friend who'd probably want blue.

Any chance you can give me the third? ;)

Probably. You'll probably have to remind me. BBTS has a release date of November. Whereas Bluefin has it in stock now. Though I don't have money now, so this will probably work better.

Bluefin version has the SDCC logo on it. November ones on BBTS do not.

Oh. I see. Thanks for the info. Good thing I don't care. Expensive little logo.

So does mean now they'll be another options for U.S. release S.H.Figuarts figures in the future?

Would be nice to have more options for places to buy from.

Wonder how international shipping will be, if its an option at all that is.

LOL, that Godzilla price. Wonder if the secondary market will be reflecting such prices in the future or not.

Really? Why would that be the case? I bought a blue scouter direct from the Bluefin booth and it has no SDCC logo on anything but the box. Were you referring only to the box?

There are 2 scouter products currently available on the market. One is the 3 piece SDCC set that has the SDCC logo stamped on each scouter and comes in an all white box. The second product are individual scouters that do not have the logo.

The Blue color scouter based on Nappa's coloring along with some of Frieza's grunts is a U.S. original color variant and is available as either a single piece without the sdcc logo or part of the 3 piece SDCC set.

The product available on the Blue Premium site at this time is the SDCC exclusive 3 piece set.


The store is not for regular releases, it's for event limited items and items no longer on the primary sales markets (i.e. retailers no longer having stock or having like 1 item of product in stock).

Yeah, I saw that. So... odd.

Wow, that is even higher than they were selling him for at AX. They wanted $80 for him, which I found to be too expensive for him. That is even worse.

Wow, I was totally unaware of the differing scouter releases, so thank you very much for the clarification! No idea about the exclusive box/logos, although I think the Bluefin display at Otakon may have shown off the ones with the printed SDCC logos now that I think about it. It's also cool to know that my choice of the blue scouter (I did pick it with Suri's help for Nappa, naturally!) is a US-exclusive version.

It's a shame the Bluefin shop won't include the retail releases as well but I don't mind. So long as you guys maintain an outlet for the exclusive and harder-to-find items I don't mind one bit.

It makes some sense. Higher than I'd price it perhaps, but I definitely can fathom how Godzilla 1994 would command more at this point than retail or discounted.
