I'm a little surprised by the lack of news about this event, it's almost impossible to find picture or news! (Might just be me tough ahha) Its pretty hush hush! There are also more Star Wars figures revealed then they have pictures of. Have there been shows where photo taking has been banned on certain items?

Thats fine with me. If that milking gets us a better budget for a figure like SS Trunks that comes with 2 heads, then I say we need about 4 more Goku's! Persoanlly, I think it may just be an accessory. I can't see them just rereleasing the figure with some wings added. Lol. Where will the halo attatch? I think this Goky will have peg holes in his hair and back for Halo and Wing attachment. Maybe a Web Exclusive, BBtS Exclusive, Amazon exclusive... Who knows. I see this being a full release either way. Goku has climbed up to that $76+ after market price.. But, lets look at it like this. In the world of toys and franchises, there is always that one character the story revolves around, or that company revolves around that will always get more shelf life or releases than others. Star Wars has Vader, WWE has John Cena, Marvel Legends has Spiderman and Iron Man.... SHFiguarts DBZ has Goku!

Btw to anyone that may have thought the Angel Goku is not gonna get released cuz of the Angel wing accessories shown, after a closer look, they're not the same wings at all. This guy's getting a release. Lol really milking that figure for all its worth! Thats fine with me. If that milking gets us a better budget for a figure like SS Trunks that comes with 2 heads, then I say we need about 4 more Goku's!

Too bad he won't be in Saiyan armor... Still, I'll get it. I wonder If we will ever get larger characters like Nappa or Cell? Perfect Cell and Majin Boo most definitely. With Freezer they opened the door to all great villains. I didn't get normal Trunks so these are great news Regular Trunks is very cheap right now. I snagged one of evay for $20 shipped not too long ago.

They're the same arms. Just painted flesh color. It does surprisingly make the sculpt of them appear different though. Honestly, it looks like a fan made custom. Thats a damn fine custom then.

I can bash Angel Goku and GT Goku, but I'm still gonna get it. Too sucked in at this point to not get everything. Jaco is the only one I'm probably not getting, but if I watch Revival of F and like him, then I'll probably get him You'll like Jacco. He reminds me alot of Yajirobe.

Who knows, maybe Tamashii will not only release Nappa, but also include a SS Nappa head, yellow eyebrows and all. Seriously though, I just can't understand SS3 Vegeta. Why him instead of Majin Vegeta. I mean, just put an "M" on his forehead. Although, he needs to be more veiny I think we will see that Majon Vegeta head released with this. It makes too much sence. I'll buy two!

jayrod9000 I hope you mean long hair ssj trunks not ssj2 Yeah, Trunks never reached SS2. Gohan was the only person, at least in the Cell saga to reach that form. Goku and Gohan did it in the Babidi Saga. Sorry, my fingers were still hard from the images;)

Well... After letting the shock ware off, I'd like to throw my opinion out there.
Kid Goku- This is something I have asked for from Tamashii on twitter for years. He opens the gates now to smaller characters like Kid Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Gotanks. I'm very pleased with the design. Hopefully the Nimbus cloud is included.
Whis - This was somewhat expected. Having Beerus and no Whis would be like Goku and no Vegeta. Design looks perfect. He needs some food accessories to share with Beerus.
SSG Goku- I innitially had olans of throwing a regular Goku head on this and calling it a SDCC Goku... But, now I see the torso and arms are thinner. This is a accurate rendition if the movie Goku. Another instant purchase.
SS3 Vegeta- This guy is amazing. I love the hair color. Even the body it self has a threatening look to it. I don't know why, but this is one bad ass looking figure.
SS2 Trunks- This guy here was the diamond of the show. From the first batch of images, I was pleased. But, after new pictures revealed his hair was up in a pony tail, It became even better of a figure. Close attention to detail, with updated articulation and 2 heads, make this THE Trunks figure to own. I find it funny Tamashii decided to release PC versions of Trunks and SS Vegeta when now they have this awesome figure as a base. This saved me from buying 2 Trunks and 2 Vegeta's.
Champa/Whis Sis- I know nothing of these two. But, I'm not suprised they have DBS characters ready to role when the show picks up steam in the Western market. If they are released before a English dub, I'll gladley welcome them even though, at Episode 7, I know nothing about them.
SS4 Goku- Bring it on. I want Vegeta too. Most hate GT, I loved the designs.
DBS Goku- Love it. All I can say.
Angel Goku- I've never seen this before. I now know its from the manga. Either way, I'll get it. I hope its an add on set, so I can have Angel Piccolo for no reason.

IDK why, but I have a strong feeling that after SSB Vegeta is sold out, and Tamashii will make they're money on him, they'll announce a DBS Vegeta which will have crossed arms and regular head (probably only regular head). I'm sure they've noticed how popular Vegeta REALLY is, and they'll try to take advantage of that. I don't see DBS figures coming until we get a western dubbed version. I also don't want spoilers from the show. However, a counter to that statement. It would also be nice to have a few figures in hand the same time Super hits America.

Can't wait. This has such an amazing sculpt/paint job, that it actually looks like it jumped from the screen. Definatly a day 1 pre order. I may have to cut down on collecting other properties, because Figuarts is nearly at 1-2 releases a month until March 2016. What do we have? SSGSS Goku, Gold Freiza, SSGSS Vegeta, PC Trunks, PC SS Vegeta, Awakening Goku, and Beerus? 6 new figures to add. This is amazing. Only if we havd this amount of production last year, we might have Nappa, Shenron, SS4 Goku, and both versions of Majon Buu in hand by now. Its an amazing time to be a DB fan, and a better time to be a collector. These were the figures I dreamed of having in the late 90's.
