SHF Red Hawk in NA = Shout subbing Jetman?

[MetalSymphony]

As i'm sure you know, Bluefin is releasing the SHF Red Hawk in North America. When asked why Red Hawk, they have remained silent as to the reason.

Cue speculation that the reason that Shout Factory is subbing Jetman for release here, with the announcement coming at ether SDCC or PMC.

Thoughts?

 

[Shirubaa]

So this is purely your speculation?

 

[MetalSymphony]

No, i have heard it from others around the net.

He's also getting Dukemon and Burning Godzilla.

OH MY GOD! Clearly the next Digimon season is going to be American made, with Burning Godzilla and Red Hawk co starring!

...or these were just random items he got that are unrelated to anything else.

I'd prefer the former though.

Why only Red Falcon? Why not the rest of the cast? And who is Bluefin?

And I doubt anyone will ever release Sentai in the US, and if they did, they would start with ZyuRanger.

And who is Bluefin?

A US distributor of S.H. Figuarts toys. Usually sold for the same price as they would be in Japan, just without all the horrible shipping rates! :sweat:

 

[FieryRed]

Cool! Does Bluefin have an online store? I'd love to get the Red Hawk Figuart without paying all the outrageous shipping price.

If they do.....I'm buying the set for sure.

Perhaps its gonna come with the DVD set? If it's a test run, I'm buying one set for me and for my bff.

If this isn't confirmed news, shouldn't this be... not in the news section?

Anyway, Bluefin's catalog has also got Fourze stuff along with Stronger and Den-O. I'm guessing they just sell what they can to their US customers, and this has no indication on whether anything has an official release. Unless... Stronger and Den-O will be officially subbed as well?

Bluefin is the official U.S. distributor for Bandai Tamashii Nations and Bandai Hobby in the U.S. and Canada. We supply stores with officially licensed product.

Any store that sells S.H. Figuarts in the U.S. gets their supply from us. We've taken on the responsibility of making attempts to acquire the rights to distribute as many of these products to U.S. retailers as possible and also alert Bandai to more Western tastes with regards to character selection in their lines. We are very aggressive in acquiring rights to have certain lines here because we know of the untapped demand.

We are the reason the DBZ line for S.H. Figuarts is alive and why SS Vegeta, Trunks, _______ were green lighted for production. We are the reason why Bandai is closely watching comments from the western fanbase for figure releases and fan input for the creation of new products.

All of our actions concern only product releases with Bandai Tamashii Nations and is not related to the source media.
