I don't think we'll get any minor characters. I mean, they have to make characters that appeal to everyone and that will sell. Most kids aren't going to go into the store and know who Android 15 is, but they'll definitely recognize Goku.
I doubt we'll actually get anything new in the states though, even though I would love to get some basic 5 inch figures that aren't expensive.

I'm with everyone else in that I'd love to be able to pick-up DragonBall figures again in local stores. Just today I was in Hastings Bookstore and came across a DragonBall display I'd never seen before. I'm guessing someone who works there is a DragonBall fan and has heard about the new series because there was a ton of stuff, including new figures. Granted the DragonBall figures (the name of the series escapes me right now) were between $15-35, but I was like a kid in a candy store just checking everything out. I certainly miss the days of walking into any Target, Walmart, etc. and being able to walk out with a figure or two.
As far as the quality of figures I'd like to see return, I'd say something along the lines of Irwin's re-releases of the Super Battle Collection. I loved those molds.

Thats awesome. I wish I had one near me. |

Hastings has been carrying the Figuarts for a while, along with lots of other figures and collectibles. They specialize in collectibles. They definitely have their finger on the pulse of the industry and know what's going on. Hastings and NECA are the same company, afterall.

What did Hastings have? Thats awesome. I wish I had one near me. Some could have been Figuarts figures as johnmichael stated, but I've been out of the collecting scene for so long that I don't know for sure. Here's a list of what I can recall from doing a quick Google Search: DragonBall Z - WCF Vol. 0
Bardock Gine Jaco the Galactic Patrolman Goku (Child) Vegeta (Child) Bulma (Child)
DragonBall Z - World Collectible Series 2
Dabura Mr. Satan Videl Gohan (High School) Super Saiyan Vegeta (Majin) Super Saiyan Goku Tamashii Buddies
Piccolo Super Saiyan Goku Super Saiyan Vegeta Super Saiyan Trunks
Bandai Tamashii Nations Zero Frieza Final Form Super Saiyan Vegeta Super Saiyan Goku Piccolo BandaiVegetto It had been forever since I'd seen a display the size of Hastings ( which wasn't even that big, but big enough to bring the little kid out in me), so I was just amazed at such a display being at a local store. |
