Attachment DeletedWhich of the Majin characters would you want? Vote for any 3. I chose Pui Pui, Spopovich, and Dabura. Pui Pui is my favorite of the Buu debacle, so I definitely went with him, but I also like Spopovich and Dabura. If it were 4 votes, I would have went with Yakon right after. I personally don't want any more Buu related stuff (same goes for Cell) because there's too much merchandise of them already. Give your votes and notate which ones you voted for.

What about Yamu?
I voted Dabura, Spopovich, and Super Buu. Irwin made each, but they're pretty big characters and their figures were a bit smaller than they should have been.

Yamu was too limited a role, so I figured not to include him. He was tertiary even to Spopovich and Pui Pui. I don't think he would ever be made in SH Figuarts format no matter how many votes accumulated so I tried to be realistic in that sense. There's as much chance of a Yamu piece as there is a Grand Kai or Supreme Grand Kai in SH Figuarts format.

For my personal tastes, I wouldn't be interested in buying any of them. I didn't like Buu Saga's new characters at all (even though my Buu saga figure collection is my biggest section... thanks to Irwin... ugh). Just my truthful opinion, I'm not saying it to be controversial. I just wouldn't buy any Buu Saga stuff; Saiyan and Namek sagas are what I ask a big fan of. Pretty much anybody made from those two sagas would end up in my collection. Nothing from late DBZ at all unless it's movie characters.

Pretty much anybody made from those two sagas would end up in my collection. Nothing from late DBZ at all unless it's movie characters. I honestly prefer the Buu saga people miles over the Cell saga people minus Android 19 and Dr. Gero. I dislike the entirety of Cell saga after Gero gets decapitated. I'm curious what you think about this, when I look at Buu saga, I see up to majin buu splitting. Once Super Buu goes on a spree, it turns poor to me also. So basically, I prefer the first quarter of the buu saga to the whole cell escapade. what are your thoughts, do you agree or disagree? In regards to what you said about the whole Saiyan and Namek bit, that's my favorite arc also, but I consider it all a part of the Frieza saga as in Japan, there's really only Frieza, Cell, and Buu sagas. There are 16 sub-sagas in the US, but all these fall under the eventual larger arcs. my personal favorite of the sub-sagas is the Namek Saga [due to the inclusion of Frieza's elites and Vegeta's story]. I myself would also buy all the Frieza saga stuff first before buying anything related to the other sagas.

Mmmm, I like Great Saiyaman saga and that's about it from what I remember. I do like the part where Dabura is a funny ghost.

I just wanted to know if you like Cell saga or Buu saga. And when I say Cell saga I mean from when Imperfect Cell appears to when Perfect Cell gets fried by Gohan. That was my least favorite arc of all the sagas combined.

I lump everything that happened after Vegeta left earth to everybody leaving namek as either namek saga or Frieza saga, depending on, well, what I end up typing. I don't get very scientific unless I am referring to a specific Gohan change in appearance.
So I don't split namek saga up. For me, there is saiyan saga, namek/Frieza saga, garlic jr saga, cell saga (or trunks, android, and cell saga if referring to Gohan or somebody else wearing particular clothing or looking different), great saiyaman saga, and the rest is buu saga. I don't put a lot of importance on labeling things, but I'm less scientific than you are, but I like to split things up based on how the characters look.
I like Cell Saga just fine, it's not my favorite though.

There's as much chance of a Yamu piece as there is a Grand Kai or Supreme Grand Kai in SH Figuarts format. Limited role or not, he was one of the Majins. You forgot Bididi too....who'd be much more wanted than Babidi, considering Irwin's Babidi is just fine for SHF scale. Could add Majin Vegeta as well, but I know you want to avoid the obvious choices.

Yeah, we want to try and avoid all the characters that have been made in that scale ten times over, which is why I don't put Vegeta or anyone else of that caliber.
The Majin Grunts also seemed like new designs, but how many people would actually vote for them? In hindsight, maybe Yamu was fine an addition although I still don't think people would vote for him.
Bibidi? He hardly even appears at all in the anime and much less the manga [and only in flashbacks]. I don't think there are any official pieces of Bibidi ever made by any company at all so why would they make something of him in SH Figuarts format? Let's be realistic, this is for SH pieces, not something that might show up in the DWC, HG Collection, or gashapon pieces.

I only voted for Super Buu because my other two votes would be for South Kai Buu (another form forgotten) and one of the Majin Cronies (forgotten as well) since those are the only Majins I have not made or collected. So yes, someone would vote for them. Jakks' Super Buu was not that great.

Yeah, but I don't see any company making a Majin Grunt anytime in the future, much less in SH Figuarts format. We all know the SH pieces cost around $50 each and that's the base retail value. The company will not make Majin Grunt in this assortment and we know that. Attachment DeletedAlso, I hate Jakks and Irwin both for not making any of my most favorite characters, but that's besides the point.

To be honest, based on what I was told by Bluefin, I don't think anybody in this poll, other than one or a few of the various Buu forms and Dabura, would be produced. They simply said that only main characters will be made. I'm not even sure Dabura will pass that test... but we can hope.
I would like it if Bandai would make some 5 inch scale figures of several of these with about 12 points of articulation or even no articulation though.

I'd at least like to see some new Shodo figures if they can't make the Figuarts treatment.
