It's all good. We all have our own opinions.. Sharing them is fun. I won't say anything until I get mine in hand.. But I will say this.. Figuarts broly does not look better than my blue hair movie collection broly. There's more detail on the mc broly. Not to go too off topic but completely agree. The MC Broly had veins and much more detail in the muscles than Figuarts. Still can't beat Figuarts articulation though. I feel with 16, he could've just come with more than what he came with. At $60 he's barely taller than Cell and comes with much less than him. If he was around $45-$50, I'd say he's perfect price point as is

Who knows maybe tamashii is going a little greedy for some reason.

Well, they're a business. They'll charge whatever people are willing to pay.

Sorry to hear about the disappointments! I'm not a big 16 fan but like it was mentioned before, it's a miracle he got his own figure so quick. I'm looking way more forward to the Vegetto release (even though it's basically Goku body mold all over again). Also, Tamashii nailed down and got the Android trio out rapidly (basically all within a year timeframe). Because if they lingered on 16, fans would've been asking for him ALL...THE...TIME. Sounds kind of like Nappa, Tien and Yamcha huh? In all honesty, my opinion is that Android 16 is a sort of throwaway character. And in the scheme of things, is barely even a minor player in the DBZ saga with the exception being that his death is the catalyst for Gohan's SSJ2 ascension. He spends most of the time looking at birds and refusing to fight. Some additional accessories I do agree would be nice, but I'm not too hyped up for his release and mostly getting him to complete the Android trio. Smart business move Tamashii!

to me its the fact that 16 is a complete rip off. Broly was 4$ more and he came with blasts at least and is quite a bit taller and wider, 16 should of been 55$ at most.

I'm guessing 16 doesn't come with a stand. That's too bad. Makes the price even more annoying.

I'm only getting him to have the trio, aside from that he was never an interesting character to me. If they released 19 and 20, I'd get them too but I don't exactly like them. Now that I realize that he doesn't even come with a stand either just irritates me a little more. If he was cheaper he'd be fine, but with the lack of accessories, $60 is a bit steep. Doesn't matter, Eknight should ship mine out soon so I can be disappointed in person

I'm actually getting really antsy waiting on him to be available...
Despite the size and price issues I still really want him. I've already got a spot for him and everything.

If he was around $45-$50, I'd say he's perfect price point as is I just looked at that MS Broly and that figure is extremely sub-par IMO. It has an elongated neck and it has an excessive use of veins which makes it look anatomically incorrect for a DBZ figure. I don't think it adheres to the DBZ art design thus making it inferior to the Figuart Broly. Just my opinion though.

Mc dbz figures were made to make the characters look more like humans.. when you see a lean beefed caked up dude fresh out the gym.. Yeah you gonna see those veins poppin out. Broly is that dude fresh out the gym. And I hope I like my 16... you guys are right when you say he's not worth the retail price because of the lack of accessories.. He still looks nice in the pics though.

The price point is high, but considering a lot of his body parts are 'unique' tooling models, it's likely Tamashii can't "re-use" them for other figures (maybe some of his arm and leg mold pieces though). We all see a habit where Tamashii LOVES re-using mold parts, I mean...look no further than the Goku mold. And I think 're-using resources' often factors into their costs and their eventual MSRP price-point. It's not a bad business move, but I'm sure it's something they think about.
This also makes me think that if Tamashii eventually does do Tien, Yamcha and perhaps Chaotzu, they will release them all closely together to just get them "done and out". They have a perfect chance re-using the Goku mold (again) after some of the excellent customs we've seen around.
