How many figures are usually announced and released in a year? It seems like this year has set a new record. I wouldn't be surprised, many of their other lines have basically died as a result though. DC is dead, Marvel has slowed (will probably speed up again when Endgame hits though), Star Wars is on life support (I'm sure it'll get some new announcements on Force Friday but that's not for months), Naruto was killed off and moved to Figuarts Zero, Kingdom Hearts and Digimon seem to be MIA, even classic Dragon Ball seems to be non-existant...
Lots for DBZ/Super and I guess a bit for the movie/manga realization but Tamashii is letting everything else slide a bit lately.
DC is pretty much done for a while considering their Justice League and Suicide Squad figures sold so poorly they didnt even finish the league. Pretty sure they're waiting for Disney to be allowed to put up Endgame merchandise. They only have product announced through May and this time last year they announced a ton of Infinity War figures. I would guess we're about to get the same. Star Wars has still been going steady, they just announced Yoda. I would expect more as well as they amp up marketing for Episode 9. But as to why Dragonball has seen so many figures released? Probably because it is just so popular right now. New movie with plenty of successful figure opportunities. A series which they have barely scratched the surface on when it comes to characters. And everything they put out sells like gang busters. Every year so far they have put out more and more figures. This year will definitely be the most. I have a feeling as they continue to ramp up production, next year will probably be bigger yet...best prepare those wallets...

Still want Hit, Ginyu, 1F Frieza, Piccolo 2.0! Hit, Jiren, Kefla, UI Goku and Maybe a rage Kale will make me happy and pretty complete honestly. Although a 2.0 Piccolo and SSJ/SSJ2 Goku would be nice at some point, personally in no rush for em

Hi everyone! Iknow it's been a long while since my last post. I've heard Jiren and Goku UI were predicted to be released. Is that true? If yes, anyone has an idea about when they should come? Thanks

Thanks Tamashii showed the Jiren prototype on Instagram so it's almost definitely coming, just a matter of when. As for UI, nothing about it yet but I doubt they'd release Jiren alone and considering how popular the form is, we'll see it soon. My bet is around Christmas but will just have to wait and see.

But at the same time, the movie probably threw a bit of a wrench in there taking up 4 months worth of releases at this point which could have been for Dragonball. Still 3 months left to announce figures for, maybe Jiren, UI Goku and a DB release?

Agreed they put their focus on the movie but we are still 3 figures short and its driving me nuts to think who they could be... I'm hoping demon king piccolo, Tao, even kid chi chi would cool... so many good options.. how sweet would a jackie chun be...

I just hope they tone down the muscles on Jiren. The prototype has him absolutely yoked. The Dragon Stars figure did his muscle tone pretty well.

First look at fused Zamasu. Instagram says his official name is Zamasu Potara.
