Looks good. Starting to think I need to scale down from the marvel select...

Scarlet Witch looks like a great sculpt.
Joe, do you have any PR contact at Bluefin that would be able to tell people whether or not they're going to continue importing the Marvel figures that aren't above $80 on their own? On the US Tamashii site, it only has EG Thanos, the Mk 50 Nano Set 2, and EG Hulk for releases. All are the same as the JP releases and are $80+ retail. They seemed to have stopped with everyone else, even the Mk 85 isn't getting a US release right now. It seems crazy. Like I'm interested in the Stealth Spider-Man but wondering if they'll release him with the walls in the US or should I just import it myself? I missed out on some EG Figuarts assuming they'd get a US release. |

Why not just import them from Japan anyways? You're guaranteed to get the figures you want, without ordering from the US site, at some times even better pricing. Plus don't the US sites have to import them from Japan themselves, so aren't you cutting out the middle man? You get them quicker this way. I've never had issues importing figuarts from mykombini or HLJ, etc.
As far as this figure goes, I think the likeness looks better than others. I have got out of the figuarts game tho (for now), so I will be passing on this. |

If you go there the only 3 End Game releases are the ones I mentioned. I wouldn't have thought much of it until Hulk was added since he was just announced, he was on the US site like 2 days after the Japanese reveal, so it's as up to date as it can be and none of the other JP Endgame releases are on there. It just looks like they've quit it, maybe after poor IW sales or something, but some weren't their best effort. Quote:

Honestly I did like some of the effects, and definitely liked the Spider-Man walls. You can sometimes get good deals on the packs too on Amazon. I think I got the Doctor Strange set for $60, buying him outright would be like $55 from Japan. Also it 100% saves you on the TamashiiWeb exclusives since you're paying $70-80 for them no matter what with zero added accessories. Plus no headache of the 1am preorder anymore either. I remember setting my alarm every time I knew a preorder was happening to get one in before they all sold out. |

It just looks like they've quit it, maybe after poor IW sales or something, but some weren't their best effort. I'm talking about the US releases with the effects. Those aren't imported in the way we're normally talking, they're distributed by Bluefin; official USA releases. Like how they gave Captain America the explosions, Doctor Strange the flames, Spider-Man the walls. They were all to get over the $80 threshold Honestly I did like some of the effects, and definitely liked the Spider-Man walls. You can sometimes get good deals on the packs too on Amazon.

I remember setting my alarm every time I knew a preorder was happening to get one in before they all sold out. I'm just saying it sounds like your missing out and now are gonna have to pay aftermarket prices if you want them. Why not pre-order from Japan till and maybe IF the US releases something, then cancel the Japan orders? but atleast that way you get what you want and don't miss out? |

I've been keeping quiet about this, but I heard from somebody that Tamashii wasn't liking how the Infinity War figures were selling and as punishment Bluefin is not allowed to sell anything else for a while except the new Thanos and Iron Man MK 50 Nano Weapons Set 2. That's why we haven't seen any word on new US releases for the Endgame figures.

Preordered! She looks great, but the accessory effects are definitely lackluster. Kinda was expecting a bit more dramatic, swirly energy pieces. An energized face plate would have been a nice addition, but I guess one glancing to the left is cool too...
