I would be pumped to get a trunks release. I wasn't looking forward to trying to justify $300 for a figure.

GT Goku? I mean... he's a child in GT outside of the first episode if I recall. Then the only time he gets his adult body back is in SSJ 4. Am I thinking of something else? If I had to guess, he was referring to adult Goku before he gets transformed into a child. I would think to have a repaint like that would be somewhat soon considering the figure it would be based off of wont be released until after the SDCC. Unless they can make a really poppy/flashy looking Cell, I cant really think of what I would really want to see for the SDCC in regards to repaints. Coot A 'cheaper' better Anime Perfect Cell would be pretty awesome.

I can't see this being the sdcc without being named as sdcc. Going on the whole repaint as an sdcc theme, my guess is that the sdcc will be a GT goku using the ssj God goku base. GT Goku? I mean... he's a child in GT outside of the first episode if I recall. Then the only time he gets his adult body back is in SSJ 4. Am I thinking of something else?

I doubt Bandai will ever give up the Dragonball license again after seeing how much Irwin and Jakks made off it even though almost everything they've tried to release in the US has pretty much failed. If anything, hopefully they ramp up production for their figuarts line and reissue some of the more ridiculously costed figures. I wouldn't doubt bandai may option the license into some other toy lines as well though. Sure figuarts is super popular, but they aren't the kinds of toys that parents impulse buy for children.

Welcome, big fan of the GT designs myself. I'm an odd one out considering I enjoy GT in general. I think it gets more hate than it deserves. I mean, it has some REALLY cringe worthy dialogue, but overall I enjoyed most of the latter half.

I'm watching like a hawk for a good price on Cell/Frieza. The latter especially. I also have a buddy that apparently is going to head up to his B&N to pick me up 16/17 for retail.
E: Just bought 16 off Amazon for retail actually...

I wonder how high Vegito and manga Gohan will rise in a month or two. Just by the end of the month Vegito will probably surpass Broly. I don't see SS Goku on that list though.

I totally did! So 6 new figures instead of 5 so far this year. ( I count Broly for US )The "Fade" is only in the Anime versions. So any SDCC SS figure usually has the fade. This isn't a SDCC/Anime version, it's the Manga, which didn't have the different colors in the hair. As for release, my Amazon order is apparently shipping on the 31st of May. From reports I've read, orders elsewhere are more likely to be out and delivered before I get that though. Here is hoping. But SSJ Vegeta wasn't an SDCC he was an web exclusive which for the most part are manga version's besides Trunks... But yeah the hair on Vegetto does seem a bit flat when compared to this: Welp, I had thought all of the nicely shaded figures were from SDCC. I stand corrected!

You forgot Android 16 I totally did! So 6 new figures instead of 5 so far this year. ( I count Broly for US ) I agree. He has a red line for a smiling mouth. Why a red line?... The face doesnt look accurate. Domething is off. Maybe its the expressions. The hair looks to be all one color. Thats why i think the hair looks cheap. The nails can still be seen on the gloves. This figure is getting unwarranted praise. Although im glad they put both super saiyan and hair in the package. I agree with you there on the hair. Is there a reason why they don't have a slight fade to the yellow hair anymore? I remember that was one of my fav things about SSJ Vegeta was how the color was in his hair that faded. I might have to try doing a fade to my vegetto when he comes in. I guess in a few weeks he should be hitting the states right? Coot The "Fade" is only in the Anime versions. So any SDCC SS figure usually has the fade. This isn't a SDCC/Anime version, it's the Manga, which didn't have the different colors in the hair.

I think he's a great figure... I just hope Buuhan is not far behind that way I can display him with Buuhan... I'm really hoping we get to see a couple new protypes of ROF Vegeta and Majin Vegeta... Majin Vegeta is my fav Vegeta, so I'll be buying three LOL... Don't we pretty much have all of 2015 mapped out right now? They showed off the prototypes for the 2 Super Buu figures, and Nappa, but no announcement of actual production as of yet, and no release windows. This year we are getting/got: Broly, Vegito, Mystic Gohan, SS Gohan Re-issue, Manga Piccolo Re-issue, RoF Frieza, RoF Goku. That list doesn't include the SDCC Exclusive that hasn't been announced yet, or the Mexico exclusive Goku as well. That totals 5 new figures this year, and 2 re-issues, without exclusive con figures. Broly technically I guess wasn't 2015, but close enough.

I order my Sailor Moon S.H. Figuarts from Toyz in the Box. I don't use BBTS though. I use Amazon for Dragon Ball Z and Injustice S.H. Figuarts because I have Prime Membership, I feel more secure with them, and I would like to help support them continue to carry the lines. I get that. I would probably have ordered from Amazon, as I also have prime, but the preorders coming up for Mystic Gohan, SS Cell Saga Gohan, Golden Frieza, and SSGSS Goku on every site but Amazon means my money went elsewhere. I can't be bothered in this day and age to watch Amazon like a hawk to make sure I get a preorder in when everyone else is ready to take my preorder now. Amazons support for third party sellers also puts me off a lot of times. Looking for something only to find out 3 versions are available, with none for Prime, and they are international sellers with jacked up shipping but cheaper prices. It is an eBay trick that I loathe that is slowly making its way into Amazon. just yesterday there was an Android 16 put up for $10 on eBay with $90 shipping from Taiwan. but that is beside the point. I'm really looking forward to these releases, and hopefully some really cool scenes will be made with them.

No problem..Looks like I'm preordering gohan....I'm not waiting a year for goku and frieza to be in stock on amazon's site. Hopefully there will be another set of them being available on Amazon but since Ultimate Gohan was put on before I'm kind of cautious about that. Is there a reason you are averse to sites like ToyzInTheBox or BBTS that are selling all four of the currently pre-orderable figures? Actually, probably five? I already have Piccolo, so I didn't bother to look for him.

Gotta wait on Amazon to ship mine. Wish I knew before I pre-ordered about Amazon's shipping woes with Figuarts. Holy crap that beam effect, way bigger than I pictured!

I think the only big take away that I can give is that I REALLY dislike small figures with 0 real articulation.
For example, the latest Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon. He came with the Groot Head build a figure piece, and the weapon he gives Star Lord in the movie.
Himself, he has a gun that he can "Hold", has movable arms, and elbow joints. With spinning hands. The waist swivels, but that's it. His head doesn't move, nor do his legs, and he can't stand on it's own.
Super disappointing.

I have so much love for the designs in GT, Dragonball Z STILL has so many characters to pull from, but GT has some greats as well.
Outside of maybe Cooler, I don't know that there are any other movie only characters I want to see right now. A Super 17 would be amazing for instance. Or the SSJ 4 characters/fusion.
E: They are tied again now, movies/GT.
Do you really want a Bojack figure?
