Will any DBF members be visiting SDCC this weekend? The convention technically starts Thursday, and ends Sunday. If you're going, please take pictures of Bandai's display area with Dragon Stars, Dragon Ball Evolve, etc.! I expect that we'll see some new figures that haven't been seen or announced before. Help us to see them! If you don't have Cloudinary set up to make posting pics on DBF easy, you can email me the pics at dragonballfiguresdbf at gmail.com and I'll host the images for you! It's possible that we'll see some coverage by toyhypeusa.com/category/convention-coverage/san-diego-comic-con/ or Toyark, but most sites (and people) always focus on Tamashii's booth and I end up having to beg people I don't know on YouTube or Facebook to go take pictures . Soooooo that's what I'm doing now. I'm begging y'all to take pictures.

Will they really have two areas for Figure-Rise Standard?! If so, I'm hoping we see a ton of new characters and just not more Goku/Vegeta/New Spec. stuff. Don't get me wrong, the New Spec. stuff improves on the displayability of the figures, but let's get some characters we haven't gotten yet with New Spec. They can always go back and redo the older models later.

Yeah I have a friend who is going to sdcc, I asked them if they could try and get a few pics if they go by the bandai booth. Whether or not they'll remember with all the excitement is up in the air but hopefully they can pull through.

I'd be all for an updated Piccolo! He's the first Figure-Rise kit I ever purchased and is the reason I went from 0 to 100 in building these models.

So, nothing new to the FRS line. Pretty sad. I might get this new Vegeta to update my USSJ Trunks custom.

Yoo, glad to see someone got good shots. It's so strange to me they even bother displaying Flash when no one actually carries it here in the US.
But awesome to see some new evolve figures! I'm curious how they're going to handle em since usually they do 3 in a wave, my guess would be target and walmart get a case with piccolo and their respective gohans, but who's the third character? It's a bit worrying that we only got to see one standard figure, still, i'm glad easy repaints aren't taking up a complete slot. ig there's always the possibility there's two characters we don't know and both gohans aren't technically part of a wave.

Maybe they display Flash since so many visitors to SDCC come from Mexico? I've seen more SDCC DB content on Facebook in Spanish and in Mexican groups than I have in English, US groups. I'd really like to see Bandai get creative with this 5th wave and really surprise us! It would be great if they did Beast Gohan as a regular release to go with Piccolo, and then the SS Gohan and Ultimate Gohan being exclusives to Walmart and Target would be more welcoming. I'd also like to see them release a yellow-green skinned Piccolo with turned up antennas and a black sash, as the powered up version of him. They could do that one as a Target exclusive and do a Walmart exclusive of him in his regular color-scheme with a blue sash and pink patches on his arms. I'd, of course, get them all. Heck, I might get doubles of all these just in case they don't do paint variations, so I can do them myself. The Gohan might be useful for making Cell Saga Yamcha with some kit bashing of a Goku figure's belt and orange leg joints. I'll be a little disappointed if we don't see Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 in this line now. However, I am still hoping to see SS2 Kefla, SS Rose Goku Black, and Android 17 in this line before I am old and bald . Those are some really important characters from DB Super, and some of the figures they have already made don't really have anyone to fight. In other news... I can't lie... I'm super disappointed there's not a Dragon Stars Orange Piccolo on display, or a Limit Breaker Cell Max. But seeing some upcoming Evolve figures has brightened my day!

I'm severely disappointed in the lack of new Figure-Rise models. All they cared to show off was stuff we've already seen and can already purchase.
And I can't put my finger on it, but that New Spec. Vegeta sculpt still looks off.
