All in for Lunch! Maybe even two, if she (hopefully) comes with both her black and blonde hair.
I'm excited to eventually redo my avatar picture...

Maybe I'm in the minority, but Kefla just doesn't interest me. I think she looks boring. I much prefer Caulifla and Kale separately.

Mine arrived yesterday. As a bigger fan of classic DB than of a lot of DBZ, I love him. He also looks really good with a Master Roshi head swap.

I've had that exact same "best offer" experience more than once. It's like they want you to play some dumb game where you have to guess the best discount they'll offer. I had one where the seller never accepted any of my best offers and never even once counter-offered. What's the point of doing it that way??

The only reason I think we might see Nail is because he's so easy to make with mostly existing parts. He'd be just a straight reuse of all Piccolo's parts, with only a new torso. It seems like a cheap retool.
Whether it actually happens, who can say? But based on how simple it would be to do it, I wouldn't be surprised.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'd buy any version of Tien and Yamcha. I love the human fighters in general, and Tien is my favorite character in DB/Z. I dont know if we are a minority I dont really give a damn lol but I missed when the series was more coral and not just Goku/Vegeta saving the day, I dont have any kind of hype for late Dragon ball stories anymore, deus ex machina power ups for those two everywhere, hate multi-color hairs.. big meh for me. ToP bringing forgotten characters to the fight was great though. And I will be forever salty how Toriyama turns female fighters into housewives... I wish Chi-Chi and Videl kept up their training, if you have deus ex machina for Goku and Vegetta, you can do it for others (Piccolo, Ten, Yamcha, Krilin, Chi-Chi, Videl etc), then he even did it for A17 fighting Goku blue and forgot about A18... mehhh I totally agree. Goku always surpassed his friends, but there were periods where Yamcha was the second-strongest fighter, then Tien, then Piccolo etc., and they all got major battles of their own or at least really cool moments. Heck, there was even a (very) brief period where Yajirobe was a legitimate threat!
Nowadays it's always Goku and Vegeta. Every single time. And you're right; there's no reason Piccolo couldn't get another big power-up. He could fuse with a Universe 6 Namekian or something. Or even Krillin or Tien could get something. The only limit is what Toriyama and Toei can think up. (Yamcha seems completely retired at this point, so I don't mind if he lives in peace -- but the others are all still "in the game", so to speak.) I get tired of the "all Saiyan, all the time" stuff -- though I admit that I do think Super Saiyan Blue looks cool.
I was looking forward to Tien having some kind of really cool moment in the Tournament of Power, along the lines of his "Neo Tri-Beam" scene against Cell -- which is one of my favorite moments in all DB -- but he basically did nothing the entire time, then sacrificed himself to take out one guy. It was pretty lame.
Edit to add: I wish Chi-Chi was still a legitimate fighter too. I can't stand her as a nonstop nag, when she used to be a pretty sympathetic character. Interestingly, Toei never seemed to forget that she could fight, at least during DBZ. I remember she tried to fight Garlic Jr.s' henchmen in Dead Zone, and then later during the Garlic Jr. Saga itself, I seem to recall she put up a bit of a fight when she was turned by the mist or whatever it was. (I haven't seen that saga in forever, so I don't really remember the particulars.) I feel like there was a scene played for a joke at some point during the Androids Saga where she powered up with an energy aura, too.

My favorite parts of DB as a whole are the late DB/early Z period where they're all adults, and the Androids saga. So I'd love to see Androids/Cell Saga versions of Tien and Yamcha. I have both, and I bought the Demoniacal Fit set, but I lament that I didn't get two of each characters since I can only have them as one or the other at any given time.
I know I'm in the minority, but I'd buy any version of Tien and Yamcha. I love the human fighters in general, and Tien is my favorite character in DB/Z. I want "purple pants" Tien, "yellow T-shirt" Tien, "white tank top" Tien, "green sash" Tien, and "whatever you call his Buu Saga outfit" Tien! (Plus "Super" Tien in both the green and brown versions of the outfit.)

Sad to see so many people uninterested in the tournament announcer! He's one of my top wanted figures currently, along with Lunch, adult Chi Chi, Yajirobe, and Pilaf & his gang.

I mean Piccolo looks the same in all the sagas... Essentially he does, but there are some tweaks to his character design -- he becomes more angular as the series goes along. But so does everybody else, so that may not even be worth mentioning.
The bigger differences are in his clothing. Early on, his shirt has s a rounded neckline -- but by the end of the series it's a really sharp "V". I'm not even sure when the change happened, though. I just remember first noticing it during the Androids saga.
His cape collar changes too, starting lower (around the neck) and eventually becoming much puffier to the point where it usually covers part of his chin.
Personally, I would be happy to buy both a "Late DB/Early DBZ" Piccolo 2.0 and a "Late DBZ" Piccolo 2.0 if they were ever inclined to make both.

Yes, the sleeveless version for me too. I need it for my late DB/early DBZ display. The previous Krillin already had the weighted shirt (though I wish they would re-release him with corrected eyes).

It just occurred to me that with a new torso, Piccolo 2.0 could be pretty easily retooled into Nail. Not exactly an A-list character, but if they made him, I would probably pick him up.

Count me as another hoping for the Saiyan/Android Saga hair. I do like the Namek cut, but I have much less interest in it than the long hair.

He looks great to me, but that's because all I intend to do with him is pop the head off and replace it with a SROE head for a late DB/early DBZ battle damaged Goku.

Give me Caulifla, Kale, Big Kale, AND Kefla. Give unto me a Figuarts of every Dragon Ball girl the world has to offer. I'm fine with that since I wouldn't be buying all of them, but I'd rather see Caulifla and Kale before their fusion.
I do want more female DB characters in the line in general, though. Adult Chi-Chi, Lunch, and Mai are at the top of my list.

I like Caulifla a lot, I like Kale somewhat, but I really have no interest in Kefla. I'd much rather see two separate figures of Caulifla and Kale.
