I have so many base Gokus that I'm starting to get sick of it.
You can only release so many before enough is enough and people will simply stop buying. I wouldn't mind a really high quality Super Vegeta statue. The Ichiban Kuji one is ok, but his bodily proportions are completely off.
I think it would be awesome to have a Super Saiyan 3 Goku figure with the quality of the Medicos Super Saiyan Goku.

Well, to kick off this line (and to please them internal management), I think they'd have to go with Goku in a done-to-death form/pose.

I've got to disagree on this one with you burdock. As far as I've seen, tsume's highest quality statues (HQS) have always been of characters other than the main characters such as zoro instead of Luffy and itachi instead of naruto so I actually have my money on vegeta for their first release.

They could make this and tempt me to buy it.  But since these are pretty large (I think), I'd so much rather have an awesome Dr. Wheelo or Hildegarn. I'm not looking forward to the thought of sculpting my own Hildegarn for my collection, especially his tail! I'm surprised the animators for that movie didn't quit their jobs.

Animators in Japan are basically slave driven, even to this day. It's only gotten worse with episodes being completed hours before broadcasting. Episodes have actually been delayed because the animation isn't finished. In fact, in the DVD releases of Jojo, they actually had to fix some of the animation from the original broadcast because it was so bad.
But back on the topic of resins, no one has really made a good Hirudegarn, so it'd be cool if they did one. Looking at the style of their other releases, they could have a Tien Kikoho, or Kaioken Goku, things that have lots of effects around.

Did they start out with One Piece and Naruto with those releases? I just hold that opinion because quite often the final word is that of the management pundits and most of them want concrete numbers/results to ensure and/or sustain their ties with the studio. I'm not saying that the guys at Tsume aren't passion-driven but they are afterall, a business. Say, have they got the license to do statues in 1/4 scale or 1/6?

Honestly I'm not sure what characters they started with but I don't think they made a Luffy statue at all. I sent them an email a few days ago: Hello, I've heard that you have acquired the Dragon Ball Z license and will soon be producing statues for the series. I wanted to inquire about the availability period of the first statue you will produce and if you can give me a hint about the first statue you will produce. Thank you! This was their reply: Thank you for your interest in our products. We're still working on this matters for the moment, we shall let you know through ourwebsite: www.tsume-art.comBest regards. So I guess nothing is confirmed yet.

Hmmm. On another note, XM studios may have 1:4 scale DB/Z statues and dioramas in the pipeline! They are relatively new but most of their releases have been a homerun so far

Common man, I would never spend $900 on a statue. This money could buy me a couch for my home! Plus I didn't like their face sculpting (though they might be basing the characters on comics and not movies)
