Bluefin said that they are waiting for license holder to say yes to release the Gaim figuarts and the license holder is also waiting for a reply. I'm starting to get a bit worry that they might not release them since we haven't heard anything yet.

hey if BBTS has to get the imports, I'm cool with that, we may get the bonus stuff then

This is the regular process every time a new Rider series happens and is absolutely nothing to worry about. Wherever you read about Bluefin waiting on the license, it should have also been said in the same breath that it's a mere formality and no more.

I think they're all like that. (the second run may be fixed though?) The second jack card is even cut really funny, like it's not the corner, it's the middle of it for some weird reason.

How about, "sometime reasonable after it's actually subbed"? I mean seriously man, you really need a moratorium on something that people can't even watch yet unless they watch the raws? Don't act all indignant, you goofed dude. This is a Figuarts thread, not even a Kyoryuger thread.

If that is the case, they should be offering replacements for people.

Yeah, they should be. There's really only precedent for new heads for older Figuarts though, so I don't think it'll happen, sadly.

Does anyone know when Hurricane Blue and Yellow are supposed to be released? I know they were always "late January" but usually they're still released with more then 4 days of their designated month left.

EDIT: Nevermind. The Tamashii Web Shop has it down as the 1/30

The 5000-6000 ones seem to go pretty quickly. Even some (most?) of the 7000 ones sell after a little bit.

So, MMPR Yellow is coming out in the Summer, but I doubt that's gonna be the last we'll see of those bodies.

It wouldn't surprise me if we see metallic versions as an SDCC exclusive…but I wonder if Tamashi would be crazy enough to attempt some the crazier suit variations?

like the wild west Rangers for example:

Or the designs that have the power coins in the centre of the suit?

I find it more likely that we'll get a metallic Gokaiger/Super Megaforce set than a reiteration of the MMPR team.

Which... frankly, I'm more on board for, as it'd make getting a complete Gokaiger team MUCH easier and just a bit cheaper. Though I'm not a fan of the metallic paint apps most of the time. Gaim notwithstanding.

Mind you I have no problems with the Wild West Rangers.
