Figuarts news

I've got news both good and bad, folks.

The first article of news: we have confirmation that Bandai will be making a Black Lady S.H. Figuarts as the next entry in their Sailor Moon Figuarts line. No release date, but given the release schedule (Sailor V in September/October, Pluto in November/December), she's clearly a 2016 release. This tells me that getting Figuarts of other characters from the series is quite likely!

The second article of news: Bluefin (the NA distributor of Bandai products) has confirmed that none of the preorders that Amazon cancelled will be reinstated. Whether this means that Amazon will not be carrying new Bluefin products from here on out is yet to be seen, and I have no clue what's going on. Bluefin has encouraged customers to purchase the cancelled products from their other partners--but this doesn't help much when Pluto isn't available to order from any of them. I am hoping that we can get V and Pluto from Barnes and Noble (they carry Bandai's Figuarts and Tamashi Buddies figures) at some point. It would just be stupid for them to not bring over Pluto in some way, shape, or form, so I'm sure that we'll get her. Eventually.

Sigh.
