Zoffy, as far as I know, never had a tv series, but showed up in other Ultra series or movies. I know he had one movie back in the 80's.

I believe the main reason that Bluefin couldn't get the rights to distribute him here is due to another company having exclusive international rights to distribute certain Ultra characters. Bluefin would have to get permission from the other company to distribute Zoffy, and that could potentially hurt their relationship with Bandai and Tsuburaya. Bluefin wouldn't risk something that big.

There is a great article on sfijapan that explains some of the legal problems with the Ultra franchise:

If certain distribution rights are still in play for Chaiyo, this could affect not only Zoffy, but the 2.0 Ultraman release, and any future releases of Ultraseven, Jack, Ace, & Taro...which would suck!

Speaking of Zoffy, if you're on the fence about getting him, I'd jump on him soon! I got mine in the mail today:




The price has gotten high on Ebay in the last couple of weeks, so I jumped on one before the price hike. I may put in my Ultraman 2.0 order very soon too.
