Bluefin has just announced that they will be distributing the S.H.Figuarts Hurricane Red as the Ninja Storm Red Wind Ranger!
He’ll be released in October 2013 for $41.99 as expected, the faux Shurikenger vest used in Akibaranger will be omitted from the US release. Last edited by KamenRiderOOO; 06-03-2013 at 12:25 AM.. |

I don't care about the Akibaranger bonuses, and it's cheaper to order through Amazon or another seller that carries Bluefin's stuff, so if I do get this figure I'll probably support the US release. It's great more Figuarts are coming to the US!

Hopefully, this leads to releases of Figuarts of Crimson and Navy Thunder Rangers as well as Green Samurai Ranger.

That depends on several factors. I've done the math. Given the discounts of places like amiami along with SAL shipping, it is cheaper to get JP releases unless they are exclusives. The cheapest option for bluefin stuff is Amazon(if you also have prime shipping) because any discounts given by other sites is cancelled out by shipping costs.

If you buy a large enough order even EMS works out in your favor, despite the sticker shock when you first see the cost of shipping. My May AmiAmi order worked out to $7 shipping per figure. Some of the figures I bought are not for sale in the US at all, so there's no direct comparison. But with the Figuarts there is one: Kamen Rider X cost me roughly $30 shipped from AmiAmi. He's $35 at Amazon with free shipping.
AmiAmi's price for Hurricane Red is $29. So shipping per figure would need to reach $12 per figure for Amazon to be as good a deal. Last edited by bluesparrow; 06-03-2013 at 02:09 AM.. |

It's cool that they can start releasing Reds, but its the Japanese release all the way for me.

I do not understand why people choose Bluefin over Japan-release. Maybe you save a few bucks if you're lucky (but even then, not much), but you're paying for a lacking figure and getting it later. Even if you don't watch Akibaranger, its still an extra accessory that the figure is meant to come with, I hate missing out on stuff.
Amiami for me, thank you! |
