^^^ It would be great to know why they would cut production.
On a different note, do any of you guys think there is a decent chance for an Adult Gohan 2.0 at some point? I didn't buy Adult Gohan when he was cheap about a year and a half ago (I think he was $45), and now he is just under $100. I would much rather have Piccolo 2.0 though tbh. At least I have Super Saiyan 2 "Teen" Gohan.

This had nothing to do with pre-order numbers or anything like that. Lots of 'no' but does anyone know what the actual reason for the production cut is then? Seems strange to cut production on something that was likely to sell quite well unless they have some specific reason. My answer was more to Tamashii's focus on Marvel. While they may be producing a lot more for Infinity War, I don't think that's what's causing this production cut. I'm not necessarily sure how they're cutting production. It just doesn't make sense from a business perspective. It takes a long time for these figures to go from the design/prototype stage to the production/final product stage. So why these releases and why now? I'm still trying to figure that out. ^^^ It would be great to know why they would cut production.

At least I have Super Saiyan 2 "Teen" Gohan. Yeah, it's an easy re-use of Goku's mold and Gohan's popularity went up quite a bit during the Tournament of Power. Tamashii will want to capitalize on that when they put their focus on Dragon Ball Super next year and the year after.

Kai Outfit Gohan is announcedWow, Gohan shot up to under $100? That was unexpected. Honestly, I'd like a Piccolo 2.0 before Adult Gohan 2.0. We need both normal and battle damaged to re-enact his sacrifice to save Gohan. Come to think of it, where is long haired Kid Gohan?! He is a main fighter against the Saiyans, not to mention he can pass as Android Saga Gohan too. Release him, both Piccolo (and Raditz, eventually) and you can finally recreate the fight against the Saiyans!

Release him, both Piccolo (and Raditz, eventually) and you can finally recreate the fight against the Saiyans! Yeah, hopefully they will release a 2.0 Adult Gohan, but Piccolo's 2.0 is long overdue and should be released early next year in my strong opinion. As the user said before you, Adult Gohan had relevancy in the recent Japanese dub of DBS, and so it seems likely he will get a 2.0 at some point within the next year or maybe 2 at most. I would prefer another Goku gi Adult Gohan though, and they can make the orange a little darker to distinguish him visually from A. Gohan 1.0 especially if they make a DBS Adult Gohan. I also noticed the 1.0 figure has three eyebrow hairs towards the side of his eyebrow lines, and in the DBZ anime he has just two stray eyebrow hairs. I wondered if they would make a slight change with that, and maybe with a DBS Adult Gohan in Goku's gi, he wouldn't have any stray eyebrow hairs towards the side to make him look more different than the 1.0 (I assume he doesn't have any strays in DBS; I haven't watched the Japanese dub past the Future Trunks saga). I know they don't like 2.0s to look exactly like the 1.0s and so that is why I mentioned that small detail.

DO NOT order from OtakuPowers. I ordered Figuarts Goku Black 10 days ago, they charged me and haven't done anything since. I have sent 16 emails so far to cancel and refund my order and I haven't heard a single peep from them. It's a scam site, a lot of people think it's the same guys as AnimePoko Same. Sent emails no reply. They're actually animepoko.com which was recently shutdown do to numerous BBB complaints. I just have to wait 30 days after my invoice purchase date and submit a charge back with my bank. Should be no problem for a refund. beevee do not wait 30 days. Get your chargeback going with the bank now. Most banks only give you 30 to 60 days to do the chargeback and then they can't help you. and no one else order from Otaku powers they are a scam. If you ordered from them contact paypal or your bank immediately. Otaku wants people to wait so that their banks cant get them a refund.

Maybe they should make enough of the figures people actually want instead of going on ahead to this piece of crap.

Anybody know where I could still get a Goku Black and Frieza S.H. Figuarts because both of my pre-orders got cancelled on me.

Screw Tamashii. There's no reason for Black, Frieza, and Majin Vegeta to be this scarce. What makes it even worse is all of the upcoming figures after those (except for Buu maybe) look like worthless pieces of crap so there's nothing to soften the blow.

I'm not sure we needed a third version of the same Broly, but the others are long gone so it can't hurt.
What is the Dragon Ball Tour though? Will people actually be able to access it and get the figures? Or is it just part of the already sold out and overcrowded Comic Con and another excuse for more scalped $200 figures.

Basically it's a marketing tour for DB across North America. 7 stops, starting with San Diego Comic-con in July. www.db-tour.com/I think they will just have an event stand at existing events. Since it's NA it's no use to me as I am in UK (and not even mainland at that). My tiny island has no comic stores, no anime event and I only know one fan of DB in person Nobody else has a clue, lol.

Is that actually different to the SDCC Broly from a few years ago? Looks the same to me...
