Bluefin's post is hilariously pretentious

Why doesn't Bluefin kiss my ass instead? Maybe then I'll consider buying that overpriced garbage. There's literally dozens of upcoming figures they could've used to gauge interest instead.

I gotta say the skull logo really adding to the hilarity factor for me :lol

While it's certainly blunt, I don't really see how it's pretentious?

It's most certainly not ideal, no, but they are most likely gonna use the sales of this as a reference for interest in exclusives, if not Rider figures in general. They're just being transparent about it.

Why don't they pick a figure that has its original color scheme and not some gaudy overpriced garbage? Evil is literally coming out next month? Bluefin is already bringing Revi and Vice. Whoever decided to use this release to measure interest in Rider Figuarts is an idiot of the highest proportions.

Huh. Didn't notice Revice was being brought over by Bluefin, wouldn't they be the bigger gauge of interest then? Cuz that would mean they could also bring in Evil.

Either way, it still sounds like a crappy hostage situation. Feels bad for american fans.

Again, it's likely being used to gauge interest in (P-Bandai) Exclusives specifically. And the reason it was chosen is likely due to both convenience due to being the most recent exclusive as well as getting corporate brownie points due to being a collaboration item.

I'm not saying you have to like it, or even buy it(heck, I'm not going to). I'm just saying that this is the situation as-is.

Love it! Definitely gonna be a center piece for a future Showa shelf in my detolf

I don't know why, but I get the feeling that a very limited run of a much-higher-price-than-usual SHF of a design that's not been in any media and is specifically connected to a clothing brand... is not really going to be an accurate gauge of interest in Premium Bandai Kamen Rider SHFs in general? Just somehow this seems the worst possible option they could test it with on an objective level. Not like I've got any horse in this race though so I'm just gonna sit back and giggle at this because it is REALLY funny
