Dark Zagi and Noa are web exclusives, however, so they won't be rereleased and Bluefin can't bring them over, so you're probably better off going that route. |

Nope, Zoffy's a retail release. He hasn't been rereleased since last year and was already popular/expensive before that rerelease anyways. Plus, before earlier this year (I think, it was somewhat recently, I think starting with the Father of Ultra rerelease), Bluefin couldn't touch the Showa Ultras, making Zoffy's previous releases harder to come by. Considering Bandai cycles through various Ultras getting rereleased (Ultraman's been rereleased a couple times, Taro/Ace/Jack/Father have or will be, amongst others), and Bluefin will be able to get their hands on any future Zoffy rerelease, I figure you can wait and see when Zoffy comes up again and avoid shelling out a ton of money.

I got Ultraman Taro from Amazon today and I do wish he could have been better to be honest :| . His legs feel so tight and his arm articulation feels so stiff. Even without the arm piece off, his arms still feel stiff when trying to do some poses. It's a great looking figure, I think he could have been handle better.

After playing with Taro a bit more, I think I like him better but his arms and legs still feel stiff. Not to mention I notice his timer can pop off pretty easy too when you move him around a bit.
I plan to get the original Ultraman or Ginga next. I do hope Seven Renewal, Zoffy and Ace get reissue. My line up of Showa Ultra that have a retail release will be complete. |
