I dunno, it just seems like a huge wasted opportunity if they don't release this in Japan and the US, which I would guarantee are their two largest sources of income. It's not like this is some really messed up colors version where Goku is colored like a Mexican flag. XD
This is basically the DEFINITIVE Goku. It's how Goku should have been and to release it in an area that is apparently going to be impossible to get outside actually attending the convention seems like a HUGE financial misadventure to me...maybe that's just my business side taking over.

Also, I know this hasn't been mentioned, but is that a new chest sculpt as well? The V doesn't seem to go down as far?

Even though im not 100% sure if they are going to release it in other places, I would think they will cause I dont see anything that warrants it to be an Exclusive for Mexico only except for the packaging so I could see them releasing it later on with a different package in the US and other places, Its probably being released first in the Mexico Expo because of scheduling and the Event in Mexico was the first place Tamashii Nations could sell it, again Im not sure, and I know the US is a bigger market and Im not sure im right but I believe Bluefin is the distributor of Bandai Tamashii Products in the US and they also carry many different companies where as DAM in Mexico started with Bandai Tamashii and has only recently started carrying other select products so It might be that they just have good standing with the Japanese Company and got the Exclusive first (I can't be sure since Im only a collector but id be willing to bet they'll release ir later on at SDCC and other events worldwide)

Hopefully most markets will be able to get their hands on this figure after all we are all collectors and Id rather wish that everyone gets a chance to own figures than to criticize the desicion of Companies to sell only to certain markets (Ive been on the other end having trouble to get US or Japan exclusives and it's a pain and hate it but understand thats sometimes thats just the case)

In any case I do hope everyone gets a chance to own this figure.
