I like the 2 pack Gamma 2’s face better than any of the ones the figuarts came with it’s way more in character lol
Wonder if there’s some way to make it work on the figuarts or something I was disappointed he doesn’t come with like, a happy/smirking type face

These are excellent alternatives to the SHFiguarts line which many deme too expensive to collect. If they were to make some obscure C-list characters like Chichi or Dabura I would definitely add them to my collection.

yes agreed. just wish they make more unpopular characters. Demoniacal fit is trending on the popular characters now instead of the c list ones.

I'm still surprised we don't have a Tien or the MVP of the tournament: Android 17 in MIR shirt in the Dragon Stars line.
I constantly wonder if the DBZ Android 18 and 17 they made were by accident... or who made the major mistake of not making DBS Android 18 or 17. It's so weird.

I can only speculate that due to the diminished amount of waves and figures per wave they have to be selective with who they put out. Long gone are the days of Irwin and Jakks where you could have a relative stinker like yellow jacket Yamcha or Buu Krillin while the rest of the wave was more or less interesting characters.

The Yamchas and Krillins were pretty good sellers I think. I remember the Fat Buus, Babidis, Pui Puis, and Mr. Satans on the pegs more than anything else.
I haven't really seen too many DS figures just sitting around collecting dust, but Target barely ever has any on display.
I do recall the DB Evolve Jirens never leaving the pegs though. It's a good figure, but Jiren is one of the least interesting characters I've encountered in the entire franchise. I can't blame people for not buying him.

This is completely speculation but I honestly wonder if maybe they intended to make ToP 17 and 18 but swapped them out for the Z versions at somepoint in production.
I remember they were in some of the first waves with specifically Z focus (and GT Goku was made around this time as well), I feel like compared to the first couple waves which were almost entirely Super based since the BAF Z Broly wave the line got way more Z (with a bit of GT) focused, we’ve only gotten new Super figures from the movies since (Broly and Super Hero), bar some stuff like rereleases or the updated Beerus and blue Goku and Vegeta

It likely just came down to their Z appearances being the more iconic compared to how they appeared in Super.
What I do find a little weird is that they haven't made an Android #16 to go with them.

Gonstead While the Line Is Moving At a Slow Speed In Recent Months, the Fact We're Getting Characters Like Omega Shenron (Which Hasn't Had a Decently Articulated Figure In Years) Opens the Gates Wide Open For Different Possibilities, Including Android 16 As You Said.

Oh, I forgot to mention, and I'm sure a few people here know already, but I own/founded a Wiki about figures, collectibles, etc, and I made a page for these figures, with dates, prices, accessories, etc, so if yall need a more complete checklist of the figures, I got it if ya need It |

aidenthetoymaniac Once you finish your checklist, I can definitely link to it on our site. We don't have anyone keeping up with the Dragon Stars checklist on this site unfortunately.

Branjita Sure! as Long as you give credit where it's do  . stuff like this are the reason I started the wiki, as No one really cares to archive info on these lines, and stuff like info and even images get lost in the depths of the internet, and are even gone forever if not archived, and you can't rely on crappy sites like Figure Realm, as they're always missing info, and tend to be Incorrect. This stuff bugs me, and is why I started to work on wikis, Including the JoJo Wiki, for which I'm the reason the S.A.S. Page and multiple others are as Complete and Accurate as they are to this day. Also, ima add updates on New figures added to the page. Added the Series 3 Hit figure to the page. Added the Series 4 Vegeta (Super Saiyan Blue) figure to the page. Added the Series 4 Goku Black (Super Saiyan Rosé) figure to the page. Added the Series 4 Zamasu figure to the page. Now that the Fusion/Corrupted Zamasu BAF waves are now complete, now onto the Kale BAF waves!

aidenthetoymaniac yeah, absolutely. You'll be credited not only by name, but by the fact that we'll link to your site. I won't copy your content to this site; it'll just be a link. I agree, it's frustrating that it's difficult to go back years later and see what was released. Dragon Stars has been going on for long enough that I'd never be able to go back and build it. I barely collect it, and don't know the timeline for when releases were. I keep up with DB Evolve as best as I can, but DS is too difficult since I don't buy all of them. On a related note, DS Omega Shenron was found in (I think) Mexico by a collector named Jose Angel Diaz Ramirez. Here's what he looks like next to DS Legendary SS Broly. Looks like he's around the size of Berserk Kale and Cooler to my memory at least, which is a pretty good size for him.  He looks really good. I'll take photos when mine arrives (whenever it arrives). I'm excited for this release, even though I don't really have room for him on my DBGT shelf.   If anybody hasn't pre-ordered him yet... Dragon Stars Omega Shenron with a July 7, 2023 release date: amzn.to/3MnCYjG Beast Gohan: amzn.to/3ICvY1D

Branjita Damn, he looks good, and has a nice size too and about the DS page. I plan to make it the Definitive page for the line (Pun not intended), since, while the figuritasde page is accurate in terms of the order the figures came out, it lacks everything else, like the exact dates they came out, the price, height, and images (not counting the cover pics that are on the figures), and stuff like this is why I started the wiki, no one will properly and accurately archive all the info & images for these figures, so I will.

Oh yeah he looks pretty good, especially since the jakks figures like what over 300 dollars now? This is absolutely fine
