Bluefin Announces November NA Release of S.H. Figuarts Zero
Those of you hyped for Bandai's upcoming S.H. Figuarts Mega Man Zero figure, take note. While the figure is a web exclusive in Japan, Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA will be bringing the red crusader to North America this November. According to their Facebook announcement:
"Joining S. H. Figuarts from the Mega Man Zero series comes the protagonist himself, Zero! S.H.Figuarts Zero comes with an array of iconic weapon accessories from the series. Pose Zero with the formidable Z-Saber, the laser pistol Buster Shot, or the lance-like Triple Rod! Set also includes a shield accessory for defense, as well as one interchangeable expression part and 3 additional hand parts. A Tamashii Web Exclusive limited item for Asia, S.H.Figuarts Zero is being offered specially for fans in North America through Bluefin affiliated retailers."
If you aren't too keen on importing, then this is definitely the way to go. Hit up Bluefin's Facebook page for more images and info!
It's just too bad we most likely won't get any other characters from the MMZ universe in Figuarts form (just like how they pretty much given up on the MMX line at this point). Mmmaybe Harpuia, but that's only if Zero sells well. And that's only after they release a Zero repaint variant.
ReplyDeleteinb4 Zero hate
ReplyDeleteNo hate, just want this and a reissue of Zero Type 2.
DeleteA reissue of Zero type2 would sell more than this!
DeleteIt's been too long and the DA line was closed, I don't thing they will ever reissue Type2.
DeleteThe kotobukiya set is better than this . . . if you can are a good model builder thats not me so I wasn't gonna waste money on trial and error which is the only (But major bad thing about that set).
ReplyDeleteZero is too tall in this and it makes it look like he's wearing a speedo rather than padding. The gap between the leg and the speedo aren't helping either.
The face is also pretty bad.
As well as the coloring.
Pretty sad since if this doesn't sell its going to be pined on the character and not how it was actually made.
Oh well, back to the same characters being remade instead of the other series getting something.
