Did SDCC became a joke?!

I feel like y'all are overreacting a little bit... I don't really think this is new territory for them. While there have been some really neat event exclusive variants, the majority of them are minimal recolors, and that's always kinda been the case. I mean, look at Broly.

Overall I'm happy with the choices they made, because I wouldn't buy them anyway. Kid Goku: The only one that I would possibly want. I like this Gi better than the OG one (just like I prefer the yellow gi for Krillin). Golden Freeza: Almost the same as the OG, so I'm cool Gohan: They didn't even had the effort to make a Gi that would match the anime. The SS head is cool and all, but he never went SS in the anime with this Gi. At most in DB Super, but with no bangs. No need to buy him imo Goku Black: He reminds me of a bootleg because of the hair, and I like his OG version better. For those who are completionist, he can be used as those "ghosts" that Black used against Vegeta and Goku. The hair collor actually is very similar.

Would the 1.0 figures (Gohan and Frieza) come in 1.0 boxes? My gut says yes.

I'm in on all of them just because, but I might skip on Frieza depending on accessories if any

A hard pass on those exclusives. Too many highly anticipated figuarts coming this year

Would the 1.0 figures (Gohan and Frieza) come in 1.0 boxes? My gut says yes. I dunno. Considering how last year's exclusives came in completely different boxes to what we usually get from SDCC exclusives, I think we might see similar boxes to last year.

Considering all the releases - including Jiren/november and these 4 exclusives, we've come down to 74 releases for this line. I don't know very well other old DBZ articulated lines, but I guess SHF topped all of them by now in number of releases. (Please, correct me if I'm wrong.)
That's a lot of stuff. Including 4 characters that should arrive by this month for me, I have 40. I'm kinda scared now that I realized this lol

It's just so people can pick up these figures they missed. Especially Black, who sold out and spiked in price faster than anyone else. Quoting for truth and to reiterate.

I mean unless you're going to the convention I hope people understand that black still is going to be expensive probably the most expensive exclusive out of the four on the second hand market. People looking to get him you're still going to spend well over at least 100(that's wayyyyyyy generous) for him. Just saying so people don't get their hopes up and think they will get this at retail.

It's true, it'll still be tough to get him. But at least for people at the events, he'll be affordable, and perhaps even for a little while after the event he might be slightly more affordable than regular Black is right now secondhand, before it spikes up. Depending on how much of this SDCC variant there are, it's also entirely possible there's a window that it remains the more affordable alternative: With the original run of Piccolo, this was the case with the SDCC variant before they put out the second run of the basic Piccolo, and at the stage that I decided to get Piccolo (before the second production), the original basic version was almost twice as much money as the SDCC, so that's the one I got. It's hard to predict these things sometimes, and especially with a figure that ended up as unpredictably rare as Black, this variant might end up actually less rare. Obviously I can't say that WILL be the case, I'm just saying that my SDCC Piccolo, in the box and everything, was cheaper than every other regular Piccolo on the market for a time.

The only ones I might be getting are the kid goku and Goku Black. I wasn't able to get the OG release but eventually I will (thought this would be a substitute but it will have missing parts unlike the og and probably just as if not more expensive through aftermarket prices). I'll probably get this freeza as well since I dont have a golden freeze and I much prefer these colors where the gold is more toned down. The other is too saturated for my taste. Gohan is a definite skip after what we got with Great Saiyamn lol.
I'm really banking on Goku Black to be scalped out the ass after the event. It's gonna really suck for our wallets. I went to SDCC last year for the first time to get exclusives and it was a nightmare to get them. Can't imagine this year now.

I was really hoping for a Nappa repaint this year. That SS Gohan is the worst money grab they have done I think.
