gsaiya lol. Not that it matters all that much, but I've been playing some Xenoverse 2 lately, and if you don't have save data (I got Xenoverse 2 on PC, but had XV1 on PS4) you get a list of default options, and this one is named "Ace." It's generic as heck, but it is simpler than calling him "Time Patroller" or "Hero"

With this figure anything is fair game. I predict the male saiyan from Dragon Ball Heroes to be next in this cycle. Funny you should mention that, I started off my XV character's backstory back when I got Ultimate Tenkaichi... and I basically kept my hero the exact same as that guy. Which reminds me... maybe they'll do the two guys from Ultimate Tenkaichi as well.

I doubt it, frankly. IIRC, while I remember being excited for the character creator, UT was not a game that had very much staying power. I did a bit of googling, and UT only sold 700,000 copies... compared to XV's 3 million+ copies and XV2 selling 1.4 million in its first week.
That being said... Technically speaking, DBH's main character "Beat" seems to use the exact same character template in the early Heroes game (at least until they changed his outfit), and that game seems to be doing well enough. The main issue is that Tamashii is pretty clearly making figuarts primarily for a US market, so Beat is a hard sell here.

Well, it was worth a shot. Next thing you know, they'll come out with the XV2 promo Time Patroller. Just wait for it.

Only good thing about that figure is the cape. Zarbon or Dabura custom worthy. Still a pass from me same as TP Trunks.

I wonder who's idea it was to actually release these, and why? Because Xenoverse and it's sequel sold over 5 million copies, and (as I brought up in the main Figuarts thread) pretty much every piece can be reused for other characters down the line. The bigger expense is Trunks, but again, the game is VERY popular, and the XV outfit is also pretty heavily pushed in the popular japanese game Dragon Ball Heroes (where Goten also wears a variation of it) so even that's an acceptable loss. It'd have made a bit more sense if we'd gotten these say, last year (to tie in with XV2's release) but Tamashii isn't stellar at the whole brand cohesion thing.

hmm...so couple of questions here would be wonder if the scouter and the cape comes off? id really like to switch heads between this and armor long haired trunks , id also like to use the super saiyan head on adult gohan if the scouter can come off.

At 5.04 in this video you can see the scouters were made to fit on pegs on the faces and I can confirm the scouters are sealed onto the faces (but I'm sure they can be pried off). as for the TP heads...again, they have the peg where the left ear goes so they wouldn't be any good for Gohan. / cape may have to be pried off and the torso will definitely require resculpting/repainting if you intend to get a new Trunks body. and finally...

I wonder why the choose to seal 3 scouters to the 3 faces, instead of just having just one that can be swapped, like in the original saiyan saga Vegeta release. This figure really gives some great opportunities for custom works.

To be fair, that scouter was a pain to deal with. Mine would fall off ALL THE TIME before I finally gave up and removed it. Having it be more secure is a plus.
That said, I'm not terribly worried about it, tbh. The hair was the bigger issue, and I have spare faces from previous customs and figures that I might be able to use, or at least swap ears from.
