I don't understand... anything you're saying.

More authentic? How? There's no Akibaranger tie-in or accessory only included with the Japanese version that we know of, so the figure should be entirely identical aside from the box. If you're referring to the box, I certainly don't share the interest in worrying about boxes I don't ever display matching, but I guess that I could understand.

As for "easing wallet burden", this figure is not an SDCC exclusive. It's shipping from Tamashii Web in November, so Bluefin isn't somehow getting stock of it in a month. However it's being released by Bluefin, we still have no price from either Tamashii Web or Bluefin. Kibaranger isn't more affordable from any middleman service that I'm aware of than it costs to simply grab the White Ranger off Amazon - the people who are doing that are paying more because they want the Akibaranger chest medal.
