It's not going to be either of these. The Operation Overdrive set is a known retail release and doesn't ship for two months after SDCC. As for the former, early releases of figures are neither "exclusives" nor something Bluefin has ever done in the past. The only thing reasonably close to that was when D-Arts Vile premiered at last year's show, while the rest of Bluefin's stock shipped to distributors in the following weeks. The only thing making Vile's release early was that Bluefin simply shipped their own allotment to the show directly after receipt, but its release in the US wasn't otherwise sped up. Green Ranger could be this year's Vile, but that won't make him an exclusive.

Expectations of wholly new figures are extreme, but so is this bizarre backswing to ideas like this. Everyone should take a look at what exclusives Bluefin has released in years past if you want to make better-informed discussions on what we could be receiving this year. Or, just wait it out, we'll undoubtedly know what these figures actually are very soon considering it's only about a month before SDCC.
