Bluefin Tamashii Hints At Power Ranger SH Figuarts For 2013

Get Burai on the poll, and if we get the dragon shield, Geki with dragon shield! I want Mammoth ranger Gooushi too!

Also, as BaltanII pointed out on something called a "Twitter", they did tweet something 2 hours ago that was a bit ominous. http://ow.ly/i/LJpn

If this happens, Bluefin will have become much more than Brofin.

While it'd be more convenient for them to be interchangeable, those versions of Red and black will probably end up being Tamashii Web exclusives. *sigh*

I guarantee the shield will not be removable. Anyone else wearing it will be an exclusive.. Although with the 20th anniversary, they'll most probably be brought over to the US for the regular price anyway, so there's not much to worry about there (besides having to buy multiple figures). But considering even Super Shinken Red sold pretty poorly, I don't think we'll be seeing them milking the variations.

Ehh, MMPR Figuarts is an excellent prospect but I can't say they're super-high on my want list. I guess its because I've always considered them inevitable that this news doesn't excite me that much.

Zeo Figuarts on the other hand is a different matter entirely

For that very reason I see it being interchangable. Because Super Red sold poorly, it would be easier just to make the shield removeable. Along with the binders. And since they'd all be made pretty much the same, you could use Green's playing hands with all of them. So they could all play the dragon flute.

Same here. Dragon Ranger has even been near the top of several popularity polls in Japan. Zyuranger and Dairanger were always going to be made before long and I doubt the decision had much to do with Power Rangers.

I still don't think so. It wouldn't look as good, because it would have to be able to detach and they can still make money if/when they choose to release the other characters as exclusives. There are some people who'd buy them and it'd require literally no new parts to manufacture.

God knows the only chance of that happening is through Power Rangers, as IIRC, Ohranger nearly killed the damn brand.

It amazes me that people could be dreading TWEs in a topoic about Bluefin maybe getting some MMPR Figuarts going. Have we not been paying attention to what they've been doing for DBZ?
