I'm not sure if this is the best thread in which to post this, but I'll start here: does anybody know if Bluefin can do anything about a broken accessory? Yesterday I picked up my Roshi figure, which I hadn't touched in a few months, to mess around with my new King Piccolo. I took Roshi's glasses off, and they snapped in half at the bridge of the nose. I know I can try to glue them, but that area is so tiny that I'm not sure I'll have any success. What I really need are replacement glasses! They have a 90 day warranty, unfortunately. So unless you just got him, I'm afraid you can't get replacements unless you look on eBay or something like that. That's what I was afraid of. Thanks!

If I were to choose six more DB figures to come after Jackie Chun, they would be:
Yamcha (Desert Bandit w/Puar) Lunch (interchangeable heads for both personas) World Tournament Announcer (maybe with an interchangeable head to give him his mustache from late in DBZ) Tien (Purple pants and yellow shirt w/Chiaotzu in Crane School uniform) Chi Chi (Teenage version in blue dress) Mai w/Pilaf and Shuu (or Pilaf w/Mai and Shuu -- however they want to package them)
Hopefully one of these could come with Oolong, even though he's not really known for hanging out with any of them. I guess Lunch would be the closest, but even that's pushing it -- and if she already has swappable heads, throwing in a bonus figurine as well seems unlikely.
I also want teen Goku from the 23rd Tournament, but he could just as easily be released as a DBZ figure alongside an eventual Raditz. Basically just the existing Yamcha mold with Goku's head, no wristbands, and bare feet.

Interesting that Chun's beard looks gray vs. Roshi's, which is white. I had been hoping their beard parts could be swapped to open up more combinations, but it looks like even if they are interchangeable, the colors won't match.

Saw that microphone and for half a second thought it meant the World Tournament Announcer was coming too! Oh well... hopefully someday.

Guys I've recreated the DB era survey and made a poll (I'm posting it in several sites) to see what people think, you can vote for every character but I only voted for seven to be faithful to this "7 characters = 7 dragon balls" format that Tamashii is doing. linkto.run/p/TVHQ3KAMWell, I'd buy nearly all the characters on that list, but I cast my seven votes for Jackie Chun, Lunch, Tien w/shirt, General Blue, Kami, Yajirobe, and Other (Mai, hopefully with Pilaf and Shuu included).
I feel like Jackie Chun and Tien w/shirt are almost guaranteed at some point since they would make extensive use of existing parts. Chun especially; he would have the exact same body as Roshi with only a different head.

They can keep the original Dragon Ball line going as long as they like! I'll probably wind up buying all of them, rather than picking and choosing like I do with the DBZ/Super figures.

I saw pics elsewhere where it appears the new Bulma is larger than the original. At first I thought it was an optical illusion, but she really appears to be in scale with Roshi, Goku, and Krillin rather than the rest of the line. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, a Bulma that fits with those three isn't necessarily a bad thing -- but I was looking forward to a more "normal" looking Bulma in the regular scale, possibly with face swappability with the original figure.

NYCC is almost here! What new figures are you guys hoping for? Another Dragon Ball figure to confirm that the line is continuing beyond seven. My first choice would be Lunch/Launch, with some sort of Pilaf/Mai/Shuu set as a very close second.

From that group, I'd be most interested in Kami, Raditz, and King Kai, plus maybe Popo, 19, and 20. I have very little use for the Buu Saga, and I'm not all that interested in all the secondary characters from the Namek Saga.

Yes! Was really hoping the seventh Dragon Ball figure would be him or Lunch, so I'm pleased. I hope he has his cyborg parts included too...
Of course, I'd be really happy if they just keep the DB line going with Lunch, the tournament announcer, the Crane Hermit, Chi Chi, Ox King, Android 8, General Blue... I could go on and on! Those characters excite me way more than most of the later DBZ ones.

I don't know what I think the final three DB figures will be, but all I can say is that Tao Pai Pai better show up at some point! He might be my number one most wanted Figuarts at this point. He'd make a really cool figure, especially if they give him swappable cyborg parts.

Chiaotzu is from a Banpresto line which I believe is called "DXF". They've been around for several years now; they made all the Z-Fighters in their poses from the final shot of the Android/Cell Saga opening credits.
Launch/Lunch is a figure I got many years ago and I can't even remember what the line was called! I think they made her and Bulma (in the pink dress from early DB), and that was it. I didn't get Bulma. That may have been a Banpresto line as well, but I'm not even sure of that. Sorry!

I got my Bulma last month, but only managed to update my display recently. My "End of DB/Start of Z" setup is finished at last! (At least until they hopefully get us a Figuarts Lunch to replace the figure I have standing there at the moment).
And yes, Goku has the wrong symbol for this group, but that's a pretty minor concern for now -- and also easily fixed if I ever decide to do it.

If I was there, I'd pop by multiple times in a series of elaborate disguises to vote for Taopaipai as often as possible.
