Tao Pai Pai is probably my number one most wanted Figuarts at the moment. I love original Dragon Ball more than DBZ, so I'd be really happy to see him, as well as some other DB characters like the Tenka'ichi Budokai Announcer, Lunch, Mai (w/Pilaf and Shuu), Piccolo Daimao, Kami, and so forth.

there are few good prices for shf bulma on ebay ... go guys! Thanks! eBay is also running a 15% off coupon code (PICKSOON) today only, so I used that to snag a Bulma.
Now I need to figure out where to display her. She's so totally out of scale with Roshi and Goku that I may put her with my Saiyan Saga Z-Fighters instead. I think she'd fit in well enough, especially since I consider them the "late Dragon Ball" group more than the "early Z group".

I've had my Roshi for a couple months (I got him at Comic-Con), but when this Fujiko Mine figure showed up in the mail a few days ago, I knew I finally had to take a photo. I used to keep Roshi posed with kid Goku, but I might leave him set up like this for a while!

I may have missed whether this question was ever answered, but I know I’ve seen people asking if the old Goku faces are compatible with the new Goku’s head. Having just received mine from Amazon today, I can confirm that the old faces DO in fact work. Thanks to Tamashii for that little feature!

They were selling the new Goku, Master Roshi, Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha. Besides the exclusives, I think that was it. I was a little peeved; due to the schedules of panels I wanted to attend, I never got to the Tamashi booth until noon or later every day, and Krillin was sold out each time. He seemed to sell faster than the exclusives! Very annoying, because I missed that figure the first time it was released since I didn’t start buying these guys until last year. I really want one, but not for $150.00.

So in that picture, Goku has a hand holding the power pole. Does the figure come with that hand, or is it included with the pole? Two hands to hold the thing would be great. And not get too greedy, but I would've loved if they'd also included the "scabbard" in adult Goku size.
Anyway, I'll be at SDCC, so I may need to buy something just to get that pole. I wonder what the chances are that they'll have the new Goku available for pre-release sale?

I'm a classic Dragon Ball guy. I think my number one most wanted figure right now is probably Taopaipai. Fingers crossed he's one of the expected seven DB figures. It'd be awesome to get him with interchangeable head and hands for the cyborg version, too.

So, what will the other DB Figuarts be? So far, we have: -Son Goku (Four Star) -Muten Roshi (Three Star) -Bulma (Five Star) I'm thinking these are the potential releases, in no particular order. The ones I starred are most likely: -Piccolo Daimao (Young)* -Kid Krillin* -Lunch -Grandpa Gohan -Pilaf, Shu and Mai (who knows?) -Kami (and Popo, maybe) -Yajirobe (and Korin) -Oozaru Goku Thoughts? I know a number of these are long shots, but they are all mostly integral to original Dragon Ball. A lot of mine are the same as yours. I'd hope for: Kid Krillin Lunch w/interchangeable heads Mai w/Pilaf & Shuu "sidekicks" Yamcha in desert bandit outfit w/interchangeable long and short hair + Puar sidekick (I know, that's a lot of pack-ins) Tien w/purple pants (or in Crane School uniform!) & proper Chiaotzu sidekick Yajirobe w/ Korin sidekick Kami Tao Pai Pai Tsuru Sennin General Blue Piccolo Daimao (old or young) I love original Dragon Ball, in many ways more than Z. I could go on and on with characters like Ox King, kid Chi Chi, Android 8, Bora w/Upa, Nam, Tambourine, Drum, teen Chi Chi, etc., etc., etc. -- I'd even love the Tenkaichi Budokai announcer -- but the above are my "most wanted".

Looking at Bulma, I hope she comes with an alternate faceplate that doesn't include that silly Band-Aid. And honestly, while it would still be far, far from perfect, I think a huge fix to at least make the thing look a little more appealing would be if both legs were bare, so it would like she was wearing shorts. While I'd obviously prefer an entirely different outfit, the asymmetry is what bothers me most about this one.

Thank you! I love that Tien face too. It has so many uses.

Fun with Tien: Might be time to invest in some energy auras: Found another use for Chiaotzu besides clinging to Nappa’s back: Z-Fighters assemble! (Yeah, Yajirobe in particular is way out of scale, but I think he looks good with them anyway) Hard to believe I only started collecting these guys less than a year ago!

I received this guy on Friday. Pretty cool! He needs some era-appropriate characters to hang out with, though. Glad Roshi is on the way. Also, I’m sure someone somewhere has done this, but I haven’t seen it yet: I really need to get a little toddler Gohan now!

I bought that Chiaotzu a few weeks ago in anticipation of Tien.
I had pre-ordered Tien through Amazon but then a few days ago, I found a California-based seller on eBay with the Japanese version in stock for less than the Amazon price and free shipping, so -- Tien being my favorite character and me being impatient -- I ordered from him instead! Tracking says he's waiting for me at home. Excited to open him up tonight and unite my Saiyan Saga Z-Fighters.

I know a lot of people are against the new "resting" head because of the more "Dragon Ball"-style face, and I get that -- I'd prefer the original prototype head too -- but my bigger concern is that in nearly every photo where he's wearing that head, it looks too small and/or too far down his neck like he's hunching. I really hope this is just a case of it not photographing well!

Thank you! That most likely is what I’ll eventually do, the more I think about it; I just need to find time to get around to it.
