If you expecting instant gratification from the event, then that's unfortunate. Not how these sorts of things work though.

Dropping a little early in some places.
Revice being between Saber and Zero-One in height is the attention to detail that I love. https://hacchaka.net/archives/52078603.html Last edited by TheRaizin; 02-24-2022 at 07:28 AM.. |

Instant gratification? I'm not asking them to scratch my ass for free, I'm looking to buy a product with my money. You know after they said the Ichigo Figuart had to sell out to show that we wanted Figuarts on the US P-Bandai store? It's literally Team Rider/Bluefin's job to deal with this. I'm not asking for some insane request.
Evil, Build Genius and Demons. I'm sure the numbers will keep piling up. Why? Because there's alot to consider when it comes to things like this. Assuming that the Black Ichigo figure selling out within 2 hours was enough to prove to Bandai Japan and Toei that offering more figures to the US was a good idea, there's still matters they need to discuss such as:
The list goes on. The fact of the matter is unless some official statement is made or we start seeing alot more P-Bandai figures pop up, we won't know for sure within such a short time span. Even getting more shirts out of Toei and Bandai took a bit of time after their initial wave, which was obviously successful given we're still getting Kamen Rider clothes ever since then. All I'm saying is, be patient.

Also, like, didn't the account admit the whole "Buy this Ichigou repaint as proof of Kamen Rider interest" was a bad attempt at promotion, not a serious thing?

They more just said that the tweet was poorly worded, not that the intent to show interest wasn't still there. It was in response to how people reacted in regards to how blunt the tweet was.

It doesn't make a difference. Whether or not the campaign was a success, they were never going to just start instantly offering US releases of every single P-Bandai figure immediately. The entire point of things like that is to get people higher up who handle distribution and marketing talking. Which, like it or not, tends to take alot more time than a single month.

All I'm saying is, be patient. These figures, even the dbz shf offered on pb u.s are made to order just like for japan and every other territory with a pb webshop. All figures that are sold via pb u.s are actually additional runs pressed for pb h.k, which is where all u.s orders come from. Pb u.s is just a nerfed version of pb h.k that we are allowed access and that bluefin manages. All pb u.s orders ship together in bulk to bluefin who ships out each individual one to buyers. Even when it launched during the Tamashii Nations World Tour 10th anniversary in like 2017 or 2018, they said exactly this. Considering that these are made to order, that the infrastructure is already there to produce and sell them, just like with dbz shf on there, there is some reason to be even a little pissed when they've been stringing along consumers for a while now, telling fans to buy overpriced merch through them to show support or whatever, and the moment we get a pb figure that they promoted in the shittiest way mind you, and it sells out in less than a day, we get hardly any follow up. This isn't hard to do. Especially when bluefin is part of Bandai Japan, not a middleman, but a subsidiary. And essentially defending a company thats making crap decisions, and leads consumers on, isn't really effective. Its a company, it has no feelings, and looses nothing from being criticized. I definitely agree that he shouldn't be this angry this quick, but he does have a point that he's not begging for a handout, and is actually hyped to buy direct. Bluefin have made a lot of promises and have made a lot of progress, but a lot of their decisions as of late have been questionable at best. I think we should wait a bit longer before going Full-On crazy since that figure sold out like 2-3 weeks ago. But being a bit pissed at like how things have been handled is sort of warranted.
