Bluefin brings several Tamashii releases statesideWe've detailed several of the latest Tamashii releases with some being derailed to either the Tamashii Web Shop or being sold out on site. Thankfully, Bluefin's got your back in North America, so you can expect to see them coming to U.S. stores in the not-so-distant future. As for what's coming, what was originally the Tamashii Web-exclusive Black Condor from Chojin Sentai Jetman, will be among them. For those wondering what the hell Jetman is, it was the series that preceded Zyuranger, the basis for what becomes Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Even if you've never seen the series, S.H. Figuarts Black Condor will come well-packed, with accessories for his Bird Blaster, Bringer Sword, Jet Hand Cannon, Wing Gauntlets, as well as interchangeable Jet Wing and hand parts. It's a great package this October for the price of US$44.99. Other recent Tamashii releases will be coming to the Americas. The monstrously-amazing DX Soul of Chogokin Mazinger Z is out this December for US$439.99 along with the Robot Damashii releases of the Altron Gundam and Aura Battler Dunbine for US$52.99 each. In addition, a pair of One Piece Figuarts Zero releases, Yasopp and Magellan, will both be making the sea voyage over to the States for US$33.99 and US$43.99 respectively. Lastly, Armor Girls Project Gertrude Barkhorn will become available in November for US$56.99. Check out more images and future plans at Bluefin's Facebook page. Did you know?
