Honestly... while great and a good sign for the future, for Gaim, it's totally a case of being too little, too late.

How?

They said everytime that they cant release the Figuarts during the time they are coming out in Japan. Now Gaim doesnt come out in Japan anymore and they can release the figuarts. I dont get how this suddenly is "too little, too late" when they never had any other options.

That was never the case before Gaim.

Because besides the reissue of Gaim, retail releases are pretty much out, so.. they missed out on a bunch of releases since they can only do forthcoming ones.

But it was an issue now. Bandai and Tamashii Nations clearly had different limitations for the Gaim line and they couldnt bring them over.

YES! That's so awesome, I hope they import Baron and Kachidoki, too.

For your sake I hope so too, these figures are awesome and everyone should have one.

I suspect that them not having been imported by Bluefin was a major part of them being so rare.

Not denying that things changed.

I'm just saying - so they can only get Gaim over himself just because of the reissue now. Great for those who haven't managed to get one through importing!

But they're still not able to bring over the rest unless somehow they get reissued too. That's what I'm getting at. So they are too late in that regard.

(Or maybe I let the grumpy mood I was already in for other reasons, on top of limited and annoyingly light sleep, influence my reaction more than I should be. Because I do feel this is really good for everyone, including those who already have him, as a good sign for potential future releases, even if they too have to be after the show airs. [Which I don't get, but we'll never get an explanation on that one.] But it's only a drop in the bucket for Bluefin making up for their silence and lying regarding toku figures.)

I can finally get Banana Man with out begging anyone anymore?!

I can finally get a replacement Gaim now too.


Edit - Only Gaim?! ;_; I do want the other non exclusive figuarts.

Assuming I'm reading that right, that means we should/could be getting all six major releases: Gaim, Banancelot,, Melon Man, Grape Ape, Shotgun Shogun, and Shining Disappointment.
