I think it's great! Maybe if they sell really well, it'll show the community is ready for more releases a year!

Okay, so now that I've had some time to let the shock pass, my thoughts:
These all look amazing. I'm so happy they are doing a Mystic Gohan, BUT... that's just pretty much the same mold as regular Goku. If he were in his blue gi he would at least stand out a bit, but tbh it's better this way since we are getting Buutenks.
But two Super Buu's? I'm not sure how I feel about that. It doesn't seem like the SHF style to do something like that. Maybe a Buuhan and a Fat buu, but two different forms of Super Buu? Well, I can't complain. I'll probably just buy the one I like the best.
I've never considered buying the Zero statues until now. Raditz and Vegeta look so freakin' perfect.
Super Saiyan 4 Goku. Well. As amazing as that is, why would they just jump to GT before doing anything else with Z? Can we abandon all hope for Tien, Yamcha, and Raditz? Can we keep hoping for Majin Vegeta, Gotenks, and Fat Buu?
Find out on the next episode.

WOW! Now we know how it feels to be a Figuarts Kamen Rider fan during Tamashii events. They probably see a bazillion new figures while we DBZ fans normally get one or two. S.H. FiguartsUltimate Gohan: Easy business choice and a good way for Tamashii to re-use the Goku mold again. The head actually looks a little big to me but it could be the photo angles. This is probably the figure I'm most disappointed to see because it's the most obvious re-use. At least Vegito is a repaint with more new molds than just his head (forearms/hands and the lower legs/feet). Ultimate Gohan will end up in my collection though! The Super Buus: I'm actually wondering if one of them is actually just a sample like Tamashii likes to do and might not actually see production. Either way, the sculpting is sharp and they definitely took us off-guard with the Mystic/Ultimate Buu and Buu-tenks choices. I wonder if they'll be two separate figures or are we seeing a Tamashii with swappable torsos? I like the chuckling head since Buu was extremely cocky in these forms. Super Saiyan 4 Goku: Man...I'm impressed. I LOVE the SSJ4 design but hate the colors. That's why I love the art of SSJ4 in gold because it should be! However, back to the topic at hand...wow, he looks AWESOME. The hair is sculpted really well and they managed to capture the SSJ4 hairstyle without coming off too goofy. I'd like to see photo shots at other angles. Crisp sculpting on the fur and the chest, I'm pleasantly surprised with how well he turned out. I hope the tail has a nice round joint back there so you can move it around. Someone in Bandai LOVES GT because they make a lot of GT stuff. Figuarts Zero EXThese look amazing. The detailed shading on Super Buu works well without getting to be too much and taking away from "bubble gum" look and color. Trunks is equally impressive and I like the blend of solid and transparent for the Super Saiyan hair (like SSJ3 Goku FZEX). The only thing that concerns me is that this line might price some people out. If every figure is around that $90-$100 mark, it could push some fans away. By the way, Trunks' pose reminds me of the typical Medicom figure pose. Figuarts ZeroNice to see some diversity in this line as they go with classic Dragon Ball Z in the form of Raditz, and Saiyan Saga Goku and Vegeta. I guess Bardock is "classic" depending on how you look at it. Goku and Vegeta are a nice pair from a climactic scene during their battle. Raditz, hmmm, I don't have much care for the character but he does look pretty cool. Bardock looks pretty good too but his pose is kind of boring to me. The Tamashii Buddies look cool too, I think I'll collect the line! Maybe not all the figures but definitely most of the ones they've shown off. What an impressive Dragon Ball showing! I did NOT expect this much to be shown! Maybe Bandai is trying to recapture that Dragon Ball magic with Kai being back on during the Buu Saga and Figuarts could see a return in stores? We shall see. Damn SSJ4 Goku is impressively awesome...

That's how I am with all these, because I like pretty much every character and it's figuarts, so you know they look awesome! But then I have to step outside (literally!) and come to my senses. I just have to live vicariously through the people here! You guys have way better poses then I come up with anyways! Oh heck, it'll probably end up like this: you have no idea how long I've waited to see someone post this reaction here... ----- I've done a complete 180 on the SS4 Goku, now I'm pretty excited for it. I think it looks so good.

Love the Buus but I want a super buu. LOVE the SS4 Goku. I wish his tail was longer though. I just want it straight with a little curve at the end. All these figures always make his tail too short. It's pretty long and almost drags on the ground in some of the shots in the anime.
The Buus are Great, but buutenks wasn't in the show much. Super buu was in it the most, had the most vivid personality, and should be made.

Don't worry, Super Buu is coming. No way they would make the alternate Buu forms and call it a day. With this surprising announcement, I see all the Buu forms (bar Evil Buu but who knows) coming out. This even opens up the door for the other forms of villains like Frieza and Cell. I see great things for the Dragonball figuarts line

I still think it would be better if they just make Buutenks and Buuhan the same figure with different torsos.

I too would've preferred Gohan in his blue gi. Ultimate/Mystic Gohan is like getting Goku again...
Majin Vegeta is a must and highly wanted, yet if this is what is coming out, is it possible we won't see him until 2016??? I gladly would've given up Ultimate Gohan or one of the Super Buu's to get Majin Vegeta this year.

I gladly would've given up Ultimate Gohan or one of the Super Buu's to get Majin Vegeta this year. They should have waited to do the fusion saga. Period. These four fusion saga characters and this one GT character seems a bit random and far too early. If they want to do the Buu Saga that badly, I'd say we'd need Majin Vegeta (with a SSj2 Goku head), Fat Buu, Dabura, Goten + Trunks (same package), and possibly Gohan in either his blue gi or his Saiyaman get up, but include two Saiyaman heads, a base head, and an SSj head. Personally, I think they're forgetting some important guys first, though. Tien? Yamcha? Raditz? Zarbon? Kid Gohan? Deadpool? Come on I want a Deadpool

I think this is the first time that nothing is disappoting me on the prototypes. Gohan, Goku and Majin Boos look great. Nice hair sculpt and faces. Now I have no doubt that first form frieza, cell, gotenks and majin vegeta are possible. They are still following the characters available on their old pool.

I don't know what to say...
It's amazing to see everything being thrown at us out of nowhere; but what does this all mean? I'd love to hear that there will be one figure coming out per month. That would be perfect! One day out of my paycheck goes to a figuarts, sounds about reasonable.
I'm impressed with this line, but the day that we get earlier DBZ characters will definately blow my mind more than it has been today.
WOW tamashii, good job!
