So you're arguement about how He's an America Only Character and he'd never sell in Japan? Invalid.

Only the first season of MMPR was dubbed for Japan, as well as the movie. So yeah, they technically know who he is, but even if he was a web exclusive, that's a pretty obscure character to make over the hundreds of really popular Sentai/Kamen Rider characters. You might as well be asking for Ivan Ooze, he at least played a major role in the movie.

That arguement makes no sense. If adult collecters didn't buy Figuarts: Bluefin wouldn't exist, we'd never get Figuarts in our local TRU's, and Figuarts would never leave Japan's shores.

They sell in Japan and there is a limited fanbase over here. Enough to be worth bringing over in limited quantities, but not for mass retail. This is why they're being sold through specialist retailers and not showing up in Toys R Us any more.

Yet it hasn't stopped you and several others from picking apart my every word and trying to prove how I must be wrong and you must be right. I'm simply stating facts. Bluefin are a distributor and are currently bringing over Toku Figuarts from Japan. They've been asking for fan feedback once or twice, but there's no indication any of those figures will arrive in the US with Power Rangers branding and there's certainly been no mention of Power Rangers specific characters being made. Feel free to speculate, all I've been saying is that the chances are slim.

They usually don't tell us the specific date until closer to the release. We should find out soon.
