I think you guys are forgetting about Tien and the Four Witches technique where he grows 4 arms out of his back. That would be an incredible accessory that they could include to make that figure unique. Not to mention he fights many people including King Piccolo with the purple pants. As for other figures I seen some really good ideas as well as ones that I’ve stated before too. Emperor Pilaf is a must so count on him. Mia and Shu would have to be a 2 pack and I could absolutely see that as well. Eighter with Suno, General Blue, Grandpa Gohan with Masked Fighter head (One of the best scenes and fights in OG DB). Adult Chi Chi with Basho Fan, Bandit Yamcha of course. Tambourine played a big role, Ninja Murasaki is a GREAT character! Would be an awesome release. Krillin in his Yellow OG training attire because he is in many classic scenes with that. The Pirate Robot that they fight in the cave. I agree that Yajirobi, Mr. Popo, and Kami could fall under Z as well but personally I would LOVE to have a legit release of them in my collection. The hardest choice is when it comes to another Goku. I think the chances of another Kid Goku are much better then a Teen one. I’d love either or but something tells me we will get either a Battle Damaged one from the King Piccolo fight or his training outfit with Master Roshi (Milk Delivery). Dragonball is a big show with tons of great characters they are hardly scraping the barrel for releases. No doubt the rest will probably be limited but that’s okay. There is a lot they can do and I didn’t even mention Vehicles! I can't believe I forgot Grandpa Gohan! He and Murasaki would definitely make my list as well. And maybe Fortune Teller Baba packaged with Grandpa G. somehow, too.

I look at those measly four remaining slots for original Dragon Ball, and my head is swimming with way more possibilities than that! Tien (Crane uniform and purple pants), Chiaotzu (Crane uniform), Yamcha (desert bandit and turtle uniform w/short hair), Crane Hermit, cyborg Tao Pai Pai, Tournament Announcer, Pilaf gang, Yajirobe and Korin, Kami, Popo, General Blue, Android 8, Major Metallitron (heck, I'd take all the named Red Ribbon Army characters), Bora & Upa, 23rd Budokai Goku and Chi Chi, Cymbal, Tambourine, Drum... I could probably come up with more, but I would absolutely buy all of those. I love original DB more than any other incarnation.
(And yes, some of these characters could fall into DBZ rather than DB, notably Kami, Popo, and Yajirobe. I'd be happy to buy them in that line instead -- I just want them.)

I just received that same e-mail! Fingers crossed for no damage (though since I discard the boxes, it really doesn't matter to me if there's any cosmetic damage to the packaging, at least).

Anybody’s Jeice ship yet? P Bandai is absolutely horrible with their shipping. They say a release month and it literally ships the last day of that month. Then it takes a week from there. They gotta fix that, If you say January then I expect it in my hands before the month is over. Plus people have had Jeice already for 2 months. horse hat Yes, I received an e-mail the other day saying that Jeice has shipped. Looking forward to receiving him! Wow, two hours later and he's here! I'll say one thing for Premium Bandai -- their shipping is quick. They notified me Jeice had shipped on Sunday, and he arrived today.

Tien is my favorite character in all of DB/Z, so I'll buy pretty much any version they make.

I know everyone's all hyped for Butta, Vegetto, and Zamasu, but has anyone gotten any shipping notices on the December batch of the Exclusives? I haven't heard from BANDAI on them yet and wanted to see if any of you have seen and/or heard anything. I'm thinking they were delayed and BANDAI refuses to say anything. Someone a few pages back said they weren't getting the Omen Goku until January , so sounds like they're delayed? I think that was me. P-Bandai e-mailed the other day to say that my Omen Goku, 17, 18, and Kid Gohan were all delayed to January. Not sure if that's the case for everyone, though.

I got the notification for Zamasu too but I don’t know if ima keep it. I’m not a huge fan of the character. I’m really waiting on Chibi Gohan to ship, i see on instagram several people have received theirs already I got an e-mail from P-Bandai this morning telling me that my Kid Gohan has been delayed and will ship in January. Likewise for the exclusive UI Goku, Android 17, and Android 18, which I ordered in the second round they did back in July.

I'm not even sure why there's a need for a base form Cell Saga Vegeta! I put the second head from my Scouter Vegeta on the Super Vegeta body, and I've never felt a need for anything more than that.

So has anyone seen the sale for Raditz? Where if you buy him you get a 15% off coupon after. Does anybody know if I could use the 15% afterwards on Recoome? The coupon has a very specific window when you can use it: only between Nov. 2 and Nov. 9. I have a feeling Bandai will make sure no new Figuarts are available for pre-order during that period, but I could be wrong.
In any case, the opportunity to get the coupon appears to have closed. The fine print said you would receive it if you ordered Raditz between Oct. 7 and Oct. 11.

I need the nervous/embarrassed face from your avatar so I can pose him properly with the Ginyu Force.

I don't know how often I'd use it, but I'm glad it's included.

Ooh, does Recoome come with a new "frog in Ginyu's body" head for Ginyu too??

Do you guys think we will get a new Goku (without weighted clothing) to pair with Raditz & Big Green when they come out? Y’all know they will never pass on an opportunity to release another Goku That's my number one most wanted Goku at this point, and I really hope it happens. I think it would basically be a straight re-use of the Yamcha body with a Goku head and new feet and forearms.

Well that was a nightmare. I had Goku. 17, and 18 all in my cart. One of each, nothing more. Spent over an hour trying to check out and never made it, as all three went out of stock one at a time.
Oh well... I’ll spend that $160 elsewhere, I guess. (Not that it hurts Bandai, since they obviously sold those three to someone. But still!)
