Bandai Namco Holdings announced this week that it had purchased an 80% controlling stake in the Nippon Imports, LLC, which owns and operates BlueFin, a US toy distributor that specializes in Japanese toys, collectibles, novelty and hobby products. They are known for distributing products for many companies such as Tamashii Nations and Storm Collectibles. "The company will establish a new subsidiary named Bandai Namco Collectibles in October that will continue to operate under the Bluefin name, and will begin operations in January." This move is said to have been done so Bandai can get it's products into the North American hobby collectibles market easier and faster than before. Source: AnimeNewsNetwork
