What do you mean by disappointing? That could be cool to get a dragon ball. For the reason everyone else mentioned. For those who don't want a non-canon Bulma we miss out on collecting one of the 7 dragon balls. So there will be 7 DB figures, each with a Dragon Ball included? |

By the way, you guys say that Bulma is non canon with her outfit!
That's not actually correct.
Of course, she never appears in the manga with these clothes, but you can see her wearying it on the coverage from chapter 4 in the Perfect edition; and chapter 3 in original edition.
That means that Toriyama has drawn her that way.
Thereby, it can be called canon.

So there will be 7 DB figures, each with a Dragon Ball included? That doesn't mean there will only be 7 but probably just 7 with Dragon Balls included. Krillin is just about guaranteed but the rest is a bit of a mystery IMO. I'd say Launch but we all know how fond they are of making females... Piccolo Daimao, Tao Pai Pai or even Pilaf all seem possible though I'm sure I remember a comment from somewhere about them not being too keen about making DB Villains (I could be completely off on that though because I can't find the original comment anywhere). Otherwise Bandit Yamcha, Yajirobi, Korin and even Oolong could work. Edit: By the way, you guys say that Bulma is non canon with her outfit! That's not actually correct.

That means that Toriyama has drawn her that way. Thereby, it can be called canon. Unless I'm mistaken the picture on those covers is just the concept art where this design came from. I guess you could argue that makes it canon, to me though it still just feels like concept art - which is cool but not really representative of the actual final character. I mean there's even earlier and wierder concept art like this one:  which might be interesting to see as figures - but not as the first (and possible *only*) Bulma/Kid Goku figures in the line. |

There were a lot of concept arts drawn by him (christmas, race car themes) and that's not cannon. I consider canon if it appears on the manga/ anime, on the other hand is just a concept art. The point is, out of any remarkable designs that she had, they chose the most useless one, that didn't even apeared once in the show. |

To me, as long as Toriyama did it, that still can be considered as canon. Anyway, i agree for the main point, they should have built the character as he appears in the story, manga or anime. |

This was posted over a month ago, but it gives a nice up close look at the Buu & Gotenks prototypes:

That video just reminded me how terrible Gotenks looks. Just when I blocked it out of memory.

That video just reminded me how terrible Gotenks looks. Just when I blocked it out of memory. Don't worry, I think Tamashii got the message about manchild Gotenks, hench why we haven't seen the prototype again recently and Bulma jumped the slot. Chances are they'll take a break in October now and we'll get our next announcement in May just before the Summer Tamashii event. I've been thinking about all the static mini figures coming with the SH lines recently (most recently Meat with Buffaloman) and I think Raditz with a child Gohan mini figure would be awesome! Equally, I still think Piccolo, Krillin & Future Trunks need new figures! Maybe a battle damaged Piccolo with a slightly older gohan figure in his Gi so we can reenact the famous scene!! |
