Has anyone gotten the S.H. Figuarts reissue of Bardock and if so does it have the same issues as the first release or has all that been fixed? I remember when I used to own the figure I could barely move the bicep swivels because of how tight they were. The biceps have been fixed, but the issue with the hands might still be a problem. If memory serves, the OG had an issue where the wrist peg would come out of the socket after swapping the hands out, which was a fairly common occurrance. The issue was that the peg holes on the hands were 90% of the issue, since they were smaller than the old Trunks. Bear in mind this is going entirely off of memory, since I did end up drilling the peg holes on my reissue so I could swap them out because of how small the holes were. But, it's not at all worth skipping him since it's an extremely easy fix - take a drill bit and slowly rotate it inside of the peg hole. Try to pop the hand on every so often to see if the tolerances are to your liking, keep going if they aren't, but if the hands go on fine, then you don't need to do any more drilling (obviously make sure to try popping the hand on before doing this to make sure it does fit.) Could've just been an issue with my particular copy, but just to be safe, check the peg hole sizes on his hands before swapping them.

There actually have been cases where preorder windows closed sooner than they anticipated lol. I remember when the NYCC 2021 Goku went up for preorder, he was up for all of three days before selling out (though something tells me they were selling hastily-made reprints and factory defects from the original run, since the QC on the second batch was pretty spotty to say the least.) But, I can't say I'm surprised if FP Freeza isn't doing too well. He looks phenomenal, but I can see why some of the prices on "Premium" BANDAI are turning people away. Some rumours are saying that the throne will be included
King Cold looks nice, hopefully the throne won't make him cost an arm and a leg. This leak seems to have more credibility behind it since we have tangible proof the guy is some kind of insider (the additional pic of him with the sword.) Idk, maybe he'll have some kind of DLC for Trunks as well to even the price out? Hopefully this means SON GOKU -The Fighter Who Has Returned From Yardrat and Can Now Teleport- is coming in the future.

In all seriousness, how long has it been since Full Power Frieza now? Two months and five days.

He insanely good here. Kind of a drag he's not coming out for another nine months, but it could be a sign Tamashii are actually trying to do some kind of QC inspection before release.

I find it funny we're getting this in the same week as Metal Cooler, who released just a few weeks after LSS Goku did in Japan, since all three of them appeared in Movie 6 (Goku obviously didn't appear in his Namek/Freeza arc gi, but he still did use both Kaio-ken and Super Saiyan there.) Watch them re-issue SROE Goku and announce Proud Saiyan Prince Vegeta for the hell of it lol.
That aside, Kaio-ken doesn't look too bad from what I've seen, but this is a really bizarre way of re-releasing him, since the original was the same price and a regular release at that, so there's no reason they couldn't have other than maybe the paint? Idk, if I find him then I'll probably get one, but if not I still have the one from three years ago.
Metal Cooler looks pretty good from what little of him I've seen so far. I've heard he's got a sort of slippery feel, so maybe that's some sort of repellent Tamashii are using to avoid getting scratches and finger prints on him? Either way, I'm not touching him without gloves when mine shows up.

I've personally been waiting for two of Goku's costumes to be made; his Yardrat clothes and the 5.9 jacket, or what he wore leading up to the Cell Game.
Between those two, Yardrat has a better shot of being made since Tamashii already has the parts for his neck, legs, and hands. All they'd need to do from there is sculpt a new upper body, and that's the end of that.
With the Saiyan Armor in the picture, I personally think it's inevitable at the rate Tamashii's going. They clearly still have the SS Trunks mold from seven years ago lying around, so all they'd need to do is repaint his neck so it's more accurate to the show (since his and Gohan's armor was cut differently to Vegeta and Trunks for some odd reason,) then swap the peg out and slap an existing Goku head on the body, and you have Goku from his and Gohan's time in the Time Chamber.

I kind of hope that's just some crappy lighting or a bad camera and Goku himself isn't that bad; I've actually had this happen with a few figures where they look worse on camera than they do in person. Hopefully, that's how it is here, but knowing Tamashii, I doubt it.
Tbh, I'll take this over him crumbling in my hand any day. QC doesn't look too bad otherwise, but he technically isn't even out yet, so we'll have to wait and see there.

Legendary Super Saiyan Goku's box was shown at the Tamashii Nations Event. Made in Vietnam. Gohan was shown here, looks about as good as the promo images, but that's about it as of now. Kind of a letdown if this is all they've got for DBZ, but maybe they'll show something tomorrow. http://instagram.com/p/CzsVLV3x6cM

No, we'll probably get Super Saiyan 2 Son Gohan -THE FIGHTER WHO HAS ONCE AGAIN SURPASSED GOKU- before Vegeta -THE FIGHTER WHO DOESN'T GIVE UP-, though I wouldn't mind Super Saiyan Trunks -THE FIGHTER WHO SURPASSED VEGETA-. Can't forget Cell -THE FIGHTER WHO IS PERFECT-.

Disappointed with the lacking accessories (no smiling face or SS2 hair,) but it certainly beats the 2017 version.
Looks good otherwise.
