Well that's just it. Look at all the people on BF's facebook page demand a Bagan MonsterArt. How many of those people are actually going to buy it if it comes out? I bet 1 out of every 10.

Anyhoo, they should've just went the same way as Tyranno/Dragon Ranger. I feel the purists, especially from a collector POV. But most if not all companies see money, so guess this is their way of testing the waters on this figure. This is the first time they've encountered this kind of issue. And willing to bet this'll set the standard for other gender-bent characters.

Then people would complain about Trini being built like Jason.

I've never even watched a full episode of MMPR...the female body is just wrong to me since I don't identify with it at all.

I've bought all the MMPR figuarts since they are cheaper to get and really I don't need the few optional accessories the Jp ones do come with. It's not a matter of being a "Sentai snob" it's really just a matter of I don't identify with MMPR and how much hassle do I have to go trough to obtain the full team.

To each their own, but I can't be mad at bluefin. They are doing an awesome job

Well this figure is intended for MMPR fans which has a female Yellow and frankly so was the American release of this whole line not to mention the female Yellow was revealed last Summer so we knew it was coming.

And no offence but I really can't sympathize with people complaining over having to import 1 figure when I've had to pay marked up prices for most of the figures I own and DekaRanger and Shinkenger fans had to import 4-5 exclusives to complete their teams.

Import one figure? I've imported several including the DekaRangers, RyuuRanger, King Form Blade, Gai, Verde, SRC DekaRangerRobo, Juuzo, etc. I'm just sick of having to import stuff all of the time. I don't like buying things online as it is as it takes too damn long for stuff to ship. Yes, two days is too long as far as I am concerned. I am a person that likes instant gratification. I prefer to physically buy my products as I want to be able to touch them when I pay for them. Look at them when I pay for them. Nothing will ever replace the satisfaction I get when I am able to just pay for something I am holding in my hand and walking out of a store with in my hand.

Importing and having to go through hoops because "exclusivity" are two totally different things to me. It just so happens the figuarts sentai releases want to do both all the time. It's why I never get to excited when I see them release a group shot to advertise they will be making a full team, you know that one or more of those will be just that little tiny bit more annoying and expensive to get.

I don't have any issue importing personally, it is what it is. The fact we got a domestic release of an entire team is incredible and makes my wallet very happy. Before bluefin came along we could only have dreamed that a few years ago.

The exclusivity nonsense to obtain a full team is what annoys th crap out of me. I honestly don't get the exclusive thing at this point. The figuarts line is popular enough now that limiting release makes no sense.

I really don't really see how its nonsense. The reason they're exclusive is because they don't think they'd sell well enough to be mass released, I believe. If they weren't exclusive we might just not get them at all. I'm happy to pay just a little bit extra in order to make sure I get what I want, rather then forever have no full teams because they wouldn't sell well enough.

Also, plenty of websites like Nippon Yasan have the exact same process ordering exclusives as retail releases and don't charge a significant amount of middleman cost at all. If you find the right place, there's no jumping through hoops at all.

Shinken Red was pretty much all the proof they needed.
