The sad thing is as much as it's cool Vader's getting a SHF, I don't really want it. I already have two figures I've used for years to display him and paying the same price for a Kamen Rider or Sentai release I'd want just doesn't strike me well.

Now if they did the Crimson Guards or Revan however...

Honestly, unless they plan on doing all of the main cast of Star Wars, I think doing Vader and the ST is pointless.

Not to mention Bandai also did those really cool Samurai-esque figures of Vader and the ST. So it does seem rather weird/pointless to make SHFs of them unless as Kain said, they plan to do a full line.

Not really licensing has always been an issue with certain properties.

What do you guys think about Bluefin Tamashii Nations survey at NYCC? Credit goes to Den-O for posting this on Twitter.

A lot of cool choices. I notice a lot of American/European choices like Judge Dredd, Mortal Kombat, Adventure Time, Game of Thrones and Bravest Warriors. I guess Bluefin is trying to expanding the Figuarts market that exists outside of japan. I guess the Injustice figuarts are another attempt made to the US market similar how the S.H MonsterArts figures and the DBZ figuarts are.

*Gasps* Street Fighter!?

Out of the ones on the list, these are the ones I'd go ape shit over:

Mortal Kombat
Cowboy Bebop
Edward Scissorhands
Bruce Lee

Still waiting for Soul Calibur figuarts. I would totally buy Nightmare if they use his design from SC1, SC2 or SC5. I hated his design in SC4.

Yeah, Soul Calibur SHFs would probably be the final death nail for my wallet. Like for a long, long time.

I don't even know how Street Fighter Figuarts would work, but I'd love them~
I'm not even big on SF :lol

SC2 is my favorite of his designs, myself.
